Welcome to I on the Ball here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. 5 00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:26.199 I'm Steve Rivera, He's Jagon Zos. Got a guy Jason in today 6 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:30.280 for a couple of hours. Welcome to Tuesday. A lot of things going 7 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:33.159 on as usual. Let me ask you, Jay, So, so for 8 00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:37.600 thirteen months, a lot of people hemmed in hot and stowed and wondered what 9 00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:45.799 and all this did the did the hype of the change or possible change meet 10 00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:49.719 the expectations when it's all over, I think it did. I think, 11 00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:55.759 you know, as much was written said about it for all all those thirteen 12 00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:59.759 months that once it got, you know, once we find out what it 13 00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:03.679 was, I think it was. I mean, I think what happened was 14 00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:07.120 monumental for for for not just college football, but college athletics. And I 15 00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:12.239 think it was I think if I think if the Pac twelve would have held 16 00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.239 together and that and we would have kind of stayed where we were, it 17 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:22.000 would kind of been anticlimactic, but since there was this huge change of what 18 00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:26.239 this thing's gonna look like, I think it, it became an even bigger 19 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.959 deal, actually than than than it seemed that it was going to be. 20 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:33.239 In fact, before the show started, you were talking about Sanky and what 21 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.239 he was talking about. Then everybody's either as their opinion right over whether it's 22 00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:38.719 good or bad or what it means for football. But tell me what he 23 00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.840 was saying and how you and your thoughts about well. Greg Sanky was on 24 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:48.680 Paul Feine Bob Show today on ESPN and he said that he goes, I 25 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.439 know that we're the ones that went and got Texas in Oklahoma, but you 26 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.760 know, we were kind of like, you know, we're still geographically aligned, 27 00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:59.719 YadA, YadA, YadA. And he said, but what's happened since 28 00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:04.439 then and make has made me feel really uncomfortable. And I wouldn't say you, 29 00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:08.919 but had you started this he started this uncomfortable way, what I think 30 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:15.400 what is what his exact words were, Uh, let let me find what 31 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:21.719 his exact words were. Uh, but it was basically that I was uncomfortable 32 00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.080 with what happened last week. It's funny. It's okay that we did it, 33 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.479 but I didn't want to see everybody else, right, But then everybody 34 00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.319 else did, and that now that now it's a bad deal because everybody else 35 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:34.960 did did what we did. I find that the hypocrisy on in that is 36 00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:40.080 just incredible. Let's remember that. And it's incredible but typically typical. Let 37 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:43.639 me say this too, though, in the next few years, I don't 38 00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.919 know how many years it's gonna happen again, and it's gonna expand even more 39 00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:51.000 and and and that's fine I and I, you know, all along, 40 00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:55.479 I kind of felt like at some point this was going to I think this 41 00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:00.680 is gonna blow up again in five or six years when these contracts are and 42 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:02.560 that's when I think we get to where there's like, you know, what, 43 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:07.159 what we've talked about, you know, sixty teams in four conferences or 44 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:13.680 whatever, you know, relegate potential relegation and and and all that kind of 45 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.000 stuff where you know, not everybody gets to play in the big boy sandbox. 46 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:22.479 And I think that that's ultimately where we're headed. But what I've got 47 00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:28.560 a problem with right now is that you know what happened happened, but don't 48 00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:30.479 sit there and say, well, we did it and it was okay, 49 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.240 but now these other guys did it and that was crap. That is, 50 00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:39.840 but that's typical of the arrogance of the SEC. It really is. He 51 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:43.680 said, I didn't like to see the PAC twelve falling apart. Well, 52 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.680 you helped it fall apart. You pulled the street, right you. You 53 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:51.080 pulled the first Jengle you know, Jengle block out of there, and then 54 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:54.000 the Big ten pulled the last one. So don't tell me you're sorry to 55 00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:59.639 see what happened. When what you did led to all of this, let 56 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:01.400 me say too. And I don't know much about the media rights and all 57 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:03.719 that stuff. I know it's worth a lot of money. I didn't know 58 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.919 that Apple was in bed with the Fox on TV. I guess it is 59 00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.719 ourselves watching the rally, the Rally on Valley or Belly on Rally, whatever 60 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.360 it was. Uh and and Jay and John said yesterday that in time. 61 00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:18.639 I know he's just talking but he doesn't know. But it could very well 62 00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:24.199 happen where Apple comes in and buys does everything right, I guess what will 63 00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:27.560 stream. Well, that's the way the tea maybe the way it is. 64 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.600 And yeah, right, I will pay one hundred bucks whatever a year to 65 00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.279 watch these things. Uh and for different teams. I guess they do that 66 00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:35.839 at MLB. I did not know that because I don't watch m MLB, 67 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:42.600 has A has a two MLB mls and then don't forget there's there, there's 68 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.319 Sunday ticket. You know. That's a streaming thing. That's a totally streaming 69 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:48.319 thing. Now. Whereas before, if you had direct TV, you could 70 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:53.639 channel Surf on Direct TV to the games, now it's on YouTube TV. 71 00:04:53.959 --> 00:05:00.160 It's one hundred percent streaming and it costs more. Yeah, it costs than 72 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.279 it did. So you're gonna have to really be a big fan right of 73 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:05.720 doing You're wanting to get used to doing that. Yeah, you're gonna get 74 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.800 You're gonna have at some point you're gonna have to get used to. I'm 75 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:14.240 not gonna be able to channel Surf the way I do now because if I've 76 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:18.439 got Comcast or Cox or whatever cable company that you have, I found, 77 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:23.480 he said, Greg sank you said it wasn't a great feeling to see what 78 00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:27.000 happened last week. I would say you launched on that. Sure, No, 79 00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.000 he did. So, JA shouldn't just be aware you might have a 80 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.360 job after you graduate. It might be me and figuring out how to fix 81 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.959 my phone, how to find these games. Little tutoring. Yeah, yeah, 82 00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:39.639 but no, no, I'm just gonna it's like I told you yesterday. 83 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.480 It's like fixing my BCR or my little thing. You know, did 84 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.439 your program this for me? Please? You know, look, I'm I'm 85 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:48.360 not dabbling in this. I mean, I've got some streaming services. I 86 00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:51.839 do have Apple TV, right, but I got what do you get from 87 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:57.240 it? Movies? There's some you know, there's an MLB Game of the 88 00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.439 Week, so there may be a Dodger game on a Friday that's blacked out 89 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.240 everywhere else. The only place you can get it is on Apple TV. 90 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.639 So I've got that, and I pay for an Apple TV subscription. It's 91 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:11.839 only eight bucks seven bucks a month. Not a big deal. According to 92 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.120 when Robins talked yesterday, he said that the PAC twelve might might have cost 93 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:20.279 a hundred hundred bucks a year. Whatever that is. Yeah, so, 94 00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:26.600 uh, you know, I I do that. I've got I've got well 95 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:30.279 through my cable, I've got HBO Max, I've got ESPN plus, I've 96 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:34.079 got I've got subscriptions because I because I get them through my cable, but 97 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:38.680 I would have I think I would have those subscriptions if I didn't have cable. 98 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.240 I've done the math to see if I should go to YouTube TV and 99 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.319 then all these other streaming things. But the problem again is I'm a channel 100 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:50.560 sir. I'm not ready to do that yet. And it's more well, 101 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:56.519 part of what was holding me back was that you couldn't get the PAC twelve 102 00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:00.319 network on YouTube TV. If I'm not going to need it started in twenty 103 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:04.439 twenty four, I may go ahead and cut the cord. It's say it 104 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:09.600 would save me money. But what was holding me back was PAC twelve network 105 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:13.399 wasn't on YouTube TV. And you can channel Surf on YouTube TV, but 106 00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.319 so many of the things that you're gonna channel Surf two aren't on YouTube TV. 107 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:19.399 God, I'm glad I don't know anything about any of that. I'll 108 00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:23.079 tell you what if if we can hold this show together for a couple more 109 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.399 years, I'll show you how to works. No, No, Jay, 110 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:29.439 I mean, Jason, how do you watch TV? I don't watch TV. 111 00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:31.079 You don't watch I don't watch I mean you watch stuff on your phone? 112 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:33.600 Yeah? I watch you know Okay, you watch programs on your phone? 113 00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:38.480 YouTube, Netflix, that's to me, that's TV. Okay, you 114 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:43.000 know I'm talking about watching programming that's on the screen. How do you watch? 115 00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.079 So yeah, I'll watch like streaming like you know Hulu. That's what 116 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.279 I'm talking about. Yeah, right, No, my dad does your dad? 117 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:53.920 Well, okay, somebody pays, but you watch it just on your 118 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:56.839 phone? Do you have an iPad on your computer? Computer? And my 119 00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:00.079 phone? Okay, that's how you watch. Yeah. But when I say 120 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.560 television, I'm talking about you're watching programs that are on a screen and not 121 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.959 just Yeah, I came for sure, but that all everything you watch is 122 00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.120 streaming. Yeah, I just remember, Yeah, I mean Steve, he's 123 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.319 the future. No, No, of course, anybody under thirty, probably 124 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.480 your son is that way. He's he's broken it. He's the only thing 125 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.839 he's He's got Comcast Internet, uh, the fastest speed he can get. 126 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.399 I remember when I was I was the remote.

You gotta follow him. He's hilarious and just 129 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.879 a couple of days ago, he posted a picture of one of those big 130 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.919 giants TVs that sat on the floor, big cabinet, and he said, 131 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.360 he said, from back in the day when I was the remote control. 132 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:50.919 I used to be the remote son. Get up and turn the channel. 133 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.360 But the good thing is only a three channels, so you don't we had 134 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.639 four, actually five we had. We had Channel eleven, which is with 135 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.279 the local cheap. I don't out there because we never went there. Hey, 136 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:07.960 we had championship wrestling on that local and that's where all the Arizona games 137 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.320 that weren't broadcast on well they're almost never any Arizona games broadcast on network. 138 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.720 That's where we got our Arizona sports on on the local. Uh channel eleven. 139 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:22.559 It's KAZYAZ at the time. I think it's CAMSB now right, okay, 140 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.519 anybody want to call Phillison, what's going on in your lives? Whatever? 141 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.720 Five?

Brett 143 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.720 Ferrock, we saw him at the press conference at the Tommy Lloyd and not 144 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.399 Tommy Lloyd, the uh Bobby Robbins Dave Hicky press conference as him to come 145 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.080 on. We just want to talk to him about you know, he's a 146 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.720 sports editor at theaters on the daily start, well what's in store for the 147 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:50.320 for them covering the Big twelve and not so much talking about all the travel 148 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:52.879 and stuff. Just you know, we're now we're talking different deadlines, uh, 149 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:56.840 you know, different teams, just what this is going to be like, 150 00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:00.360 you know, getting up to speed on on the on the Big Twelve. 151 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:05.879 And then at four four fifteen, Bruce Pasco, who's heading out with 152 00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.840 with the basketball team to uh Israel on their trip. You say he's gonna 153 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:11.919 be out on the layover when we talked about Yeah, he's no, No, 154 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:16.519 that was supposed to be Tomorrow's fine, So he's he's still in town. 155 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.039 They I guess they head out. He's gonna be covering the basketball team 156 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.080 on their trips. We're going to pick his brain about about that trip, 157 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:28.000 and it's gonna be very secretive. They have yet to announce any any viewing 158 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.799 because of that, they're not gonna tell people where they're at. I think 159 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.720 Bruce has been not that they dictate the media, but it kind of be 160 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:39.799 Watch what you're saying about the team, right, Bruce, It sounded like 161 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:43.960 yesterday, I know Tommy was poking at him a little bit, but he's 162 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.080 on a little bit of a leash in terms of what he can and can't 163 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:50.519 say about this trip. The thing he was poking him about was, you 164 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:54.799 know, you can't be reporting back that you know that this guy started, 165 00:10:54.919 --> 00:11:00.240 so that makes him a starter. Everybody's gonna play and so don't you know, 166 00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.120 don't be reporting back that this five started. So that's some sort of 167 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.440 a starting lineup for them, right, So that's why he's gonna be, 168 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.440 well, not why he's gonna play. Everybody. Everyone's gonna have equal time, 169 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.399 different starters at all different points. So to the this is just more 170 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.679 of a trip getting together, bonding, uh, seeing how the guys react, 171 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.639 stuff like that. I probably the more valuable thing in all of it 172 00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:24.519 was the ten full practices that they got very much that they wouldn't have gotten 173 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.360 if they weren't doing this pretty much to get a look at his team. 174 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.679 So, I mean, there's some value to this. And I know, 175 00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:33.840 you know from not I know, but we saw from the conversation with Palt 176 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:39.120 Larson and Umar ballis they're more interested in the basketball and yeah, they're gonna 177 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:41.799 go do all the cultural stuff that Tommy's got. Come on, dude, 178 00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.279 you're going to you go to San Francisco, you go to disnealand with the 179 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:48.840 family. The kids don't care about the trip. Are we there yet? 180 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:50.679 Let's get there and let's get on space. Sure, sure, they don't 181 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.000 care about the quitterre we eating today? You're paying for it. So they 182 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:56.559 just want to get out there and play some basketball. And as you said, 183 00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:01.279 some of these guys are in the national players Internationals like a regular thing 184 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:03.879 for them. Sure, sure, well, which is great, you know. 185 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.039 The good for the domestic guys, fantastic. Many of them haven't left 186 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:11.360 the country. I know. I would have been very fun. It would 187 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:16.279 have been very fun to have you been overseas Australia and Greece. Those Olympics. 188 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:18.919 Not on my own, but those were Olympics. Those are Olympics. 189 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.159 Thankfully I got someone else paid for otherwise I wouldn't. I'm not a big 190 00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:26.240 after all these travels, I'm a big traveler. I'm not a big traveler 191 00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:31.000 either. I mean I've been I've been overseas for some work, been to 192 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.879 China a couple of times, went to the those China basketball games. Those 193 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:37.279 are controlled. They were they were. I was with the group. But 194 00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:41.879 my wife and I did go to UH, to Italy and Germany and Austria 195 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:46.799 as a sort of a kind of a late honeymoon kind of thing. It 196 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:48.200 wasn't really a late honeymoon. I got extorted, I got told that we 197 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.639 weren't gonna have any kids. But I took my wife to Europe. So 198 00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.879 I immediately signed us up and we went to Europe. It's called marriage, 199 00:12:54.759 --> 00:13:00.120 yeah, those low poles. Yeah, And I'm and I'm telling you the 200 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.519 the actual language of that was not too far off of what I just said. 201 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:09.879 You give us a call. That's true. It's a true story. 202 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:15.159 And UH.

I said, yeah, the changes, 311 00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:07.759 and I said, you know, realistically, over the last few years, 312 00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:11.319 there are only three dudes that trans traveled with the team. It was me, 313 00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:17.680 Bruce and Greg consistently for all these years. The periphery people didn't travel 314 00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:22.200 until Vegas or sent or whatever. So they can talk about the Big twelve. 315 00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:26.359 They ain't going to the Big twelve. They're not going to those sites. 316 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:27.720 Yeah, you know, I mean, you know, you'll go to 317 00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:33.400 the conference tournaments and stuff like that. But I don't see how you know, 318 00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:37.759 where where the where the news media is financially how they can travel to 319 00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:41.000 those places. Yeah, not anymore, and and and and it might be 320 00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:45.319 tough for the Star given the frequency of the trips and things like that. 321 00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:51.599 Right, so we'll see. Hey, Brad, is that you okay? 322 00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:53.759 Brad? Sorry about that. We're having trouble dialing you from our lot over 323 00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:59.400 which happens from time you are on the air, So we appreciate your colleague. 324 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:02.880 All right, So, well, we just wanted to get into this 325 00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:04.960 with you about first, just give us you're you know, you're a sports 326 00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:08.559 fan. I assume you are, since you're a sports editor. Just some 327 00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:14.359 of your thoughts about all that maybe went on for the last thirteen months, 328 00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:17.359 you know, do you hate it? You know? Are you okay with 329 00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:22.160 what we wound up? What overall thoughts about everything that's happened. Well, 330 00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:26.200 I think and I know, Ma that going a lot of people's sentiments. 331 00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:29.440 I think losing the Pac twelve and what we've known it as a PAC twelve 332 00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:33.640 fact and for so long is a shame, and I think that echoes what 333 00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:36.519 we all think. I think that echoes what Robert Robbins has said with Dave, 334 00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:40.759 he has said in the end for Arizona. Of course, I think 335 00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:45.759 it's the right move considering everything that happened. I may be in the minority 336 00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:48.680 on this. I believe Robert Robbins was what he said yesterday that he was 337 00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:53.240 ready to sign in blood for the PAC twelve on Friday morning. I actually 338 00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:57.000 believed him. I have no reason to say I believed him or not. 339 00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:00.680 I just heard him say it, and he becomes off believable in that thought. 340 00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:03.880 That doesn't mean that would have even been the right decision, but I 341 00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:08.400 believe that's what he intended. I think that he comprehends sort of the second 342 00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:12.559 to market strategy of you know, let somebody else take that poise until first, 343 00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:15.039 and when Oregon and Washington did it, you know he was ready. 344 00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:21.039 It was interesting when we were able to ask him about how the decision making 345 00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:25.319 process when you mentioned the thirteen months, it feels like for how much they 346 00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:27.799 were able to sort of prepare for twelve and a half months that the last 347 00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:32.319 two weeks was just break next pace as well. Yeah, so I guess 348 00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:34.599 as prepared as you can be, you can't ever be too prepared, because 349 00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:38.119 it sounded like B and DPP were in a room with whiteboards and you know, 350 00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:45.240 pizza boxes and just banging out ideas NonStop until they came up with option 351 00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:48.519 one, Option one D and Option one C. And you know, one 352 00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:51.119 of those ultimately ended up being the Big twelve. So, Brett, we've 353 00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:55.400 been talking about streaming and linear and all that stuff. You're about what forty 354 00:23:55.920 --> 00:24:02.440 forty yeah, forty forty one. So so are you? You're right on 355 00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:07.400 the custom of of the TV era and now the online era. It's gonna 356 00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:11.240 go eventually to the online era. How are you? How are you feeling 357 00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:14.759 about that? And and the and the newspaper business has changed dramatically in the 358 00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:18.119 last ten years too well. I think I think if I use this in 359 00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:23.359 terms of the Pact swelve, if the Pacwelves CEOs the presidents would have decided 360 00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:26.920 to stick around and give it a go, I think it would have been 361 00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:33.920 growing pains before the success. I don't think in this one area that Larry 362 00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:37.640 Scott was wrong eight nine years ago when he talked about non linear programming. 363 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:41.440 He has the future. It's just to get there you have to be willing 364 00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:47.319 to risk the pitfalls and the values. And the PAC twelve would have struggled 365 00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:49.599 for a few years. Whether the pacwelve network would have failed in the process 366 00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:55.200 of that, whether the schools themselves would have been able to withstand the financial 367 00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:59.799 problems that that you know, potentially could have been if those numbers weren't what 368 00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.799 with being or if the escalators were in place the same way. That's obviously 369 00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:07.839 something we'll never know. But eventually, at some point, the idea of 370 00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:12.440 a non linear solid structure to one of these deals is going to be the 371 00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:18.000 deal. It's just that the pactweal presidents weren't ready. The one fit departs 372 00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:22.000 weren't ready for that today. So the linear and nonlinear packaging that the Big 373 00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:27.000 twelve and Big ten offers these schools was good enough for today, tomorrow, 374 00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:30.599 and at least the next couple of years. So, so Arizona is in 375 00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:33.640 the PAC twelve, I mean in the Big twelve next starting next year. 376 00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:40.839 Is there something or some things that you guys have to do to get ready 377 00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:44.839 for that or you just kind of take it as it comes and do what 378 00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:47.559 you need to do. I mean, how do you prepare for something like 379 00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:51.799 this. It's such a major change to not only what you cover, but 380 00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:56.799 who you cover. I think it's actually fun in this sense because for the 381 00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:03.359 next eleven months we now have any different pieces of different angles to go with 382 00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:07.039 on this story. Justin Spears, who's really good at sort of touching that 383 00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:14.519 younger than millennial way of looking at things in you know, a top twelve 384 00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:18.160 list or a top fifteen list, things like that. He's he's working on 385 00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.359 kind of really breaking down all the cities in different ways. And I think, 386 00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:23.839 I think from a coverage standpoint, it opens up a lot of fun. 387 00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:26.359 I think to what you guys were saying before I got on the air 388 00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:30.319 about travel, and think that's TV for to be seen and that's going to 389 00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:33.519 affect us too. I think, I know my issue with travel and not 390 00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:37.559 travel is not so much our bety outlets there anymore. In person. I 391 00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:41.160 think that from a TV standpoint, what Fox and some of these areas have 392 00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:45.160 been able to do by having folks in studios and saving the dollars and things 393 00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:49.279 like that is not a problem, except that they're lying about it on the 394 00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:52.920 air. I don't think they're purposely lying, but they're they're making it look 395 00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:56.640 like with backdrops that they're in the booth looking down at the stadium, and 396 00:26:57.039 --> 00:27:00.000 at some point, be honest. Everyone is going to figure it out in 397 00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:03.200 this era of social media, and so we have to follow the same path. 398 00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:07.720 If we don't send people the games, we have to be honest about 399 00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:11.000 where we're getting our information from and our reporters. If that ends up happening, 400 00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:15.319 I don't foresee that to the same degree. But if it's not, 401 00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:18.480 there are plenty of sports. We don't get to spend our reporters to everything 402 00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:22.559 at We have to come up with a way to be unique and offer them 403 00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:26.519 something beyond the television broadcast, and that's that's a hard thing. But I 404 00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:30.119 don't see that as as a problem as much as just the challenge we have 405 00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:34.319 to work through. And I don't believe that for sends basketball, football, 406 00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:37.640 and even women's basketball in the city now, especially being in a conference that 407 00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:42.559 includes Baylor and enough competition in the Big twelve, and god forbid, they 408 00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:45.759 expand and add Yukon basketball like has been talked about a little bit and by 409 00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:48.559 a little bit. You know, women's basketball would be huge. We talk 410 00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:52.759 about hands, it's coming up the sale. What if someday it's Yukon and 411 00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:56.160 Arizona going back and forth between stores and Tucson. I think those three sports 412 00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.720 we are going to travels is going to continue. It's not going to change, 413 00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:03.079 but it's going to be interesting. You know, we the three of 414 00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:07.119 us, talked about this yesterday. You know, the idea of the packwelve 415 00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:11.119 tournament being gone out of Black Vegas, at least in terms of Arigona's playing, 416 00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:14.039 Kansas City is going to be the home. That's ku stopping ground. 417 00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:18.039 That's a big change for fan travel, media, travel, the teams, 418 00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:22.440 everything involved. So I think all of that is going to be really fascinating 419 00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:26.400 to watch how it plays out once so they's going. So I arrived here 420 00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:30.279 in eighty seven, it was an intern in at the daily start at eighty 421 00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:33.200 five. I want to throw a number out here. Maybe in in this 422 00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:37.759 toll time, six or seven sports editors have come through, Jay. I 423 00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.440 think you provide six or seven a number of them. You're at at the 424 00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:48.160 doorstep of a new era with the Big twelve. Obviously changes new staffs and 425 00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:53.359 smaller staffs. How are you feeling about all this? You know, I 426 00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:56.160 wish we had a bigger staff. I think anyone would say that, just 427 00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:02.559 because it would be amazing to be able to staff everythingle event that is important 428 00:29:02.599 --> 00:29:06.319 and big in the city. But at the same time, I don't think 429 00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:11.440 that there is a point in watching sports. You know, you guys said 430 00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:14.279 something interesting when I came on. He said that I'm you would assume I'm 431 00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:18.039 a sports fan. I am a fan of sport. I struggle to be 432 00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:21.960 a sports fan because I have personal connections to a lot of things, but 433 00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:26.359 the concept of sport and what it is to society, and we only have 434 00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:29.440 to look back three years ago and sitting on our count is wondering what are 435 00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:33.039 we going to do with ourselves while we're all quarantining, sitting around waiting, 436 00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:36.039 trying to sneak into grocery stores at off hours so there's not a lot of 437 00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:38.400 people there. And as soon as Major League Baseball came back, the amount 438 00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:42.960 of hours I spent watching Major League Baseball for the first time. I mean 439 00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:47.519 I always watched baseball, but not to that degree. It was important and 440 00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:51.519 it was vital to my own well being, and I think coming out of 441 00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:55.240 all of that into this. I take what Jed Fish said the heart to 442 00:29:55.319 --> 00:29:57.920 his players. He told us this on I believe it was last Friday. 443 00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:03.359 He said, you know, I told my players that they are not just 444 00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:07.640 seeing a historical moment right now, but they're the group that went through how 445 00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:11.759 sports impact or pensive pandemic impacted sports, and I l and the changes to 446 00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:15.880 that. Then you throw this on top, It's pretty amazing how much massive 447 00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:18.039 change has happened in the shortener design. And for that, I'm excited and 448 00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:22.599 I feel very lucky to be one of the handful of people, not as 449 00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:25.519 many as fifteen twenty years ago, but the handful of people in this town 450 00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:27.319 are going to be a part of it. So, you know, there's 451 00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:30.240 been a lot of talk, you know, not just you, but I 452 00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:36.079 think sports editors everywhere about how, you know, you cover stuff differently because 453 00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:37.839 as you said, you don't you know, you don't have the staff to 454 00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:42.319 go cover everything, so you try and find it interesting things to cover about 455 00:30:42.319 --> 00:30:49.079 a given you know sport or you know you know, uh players or whatever. 456 00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:52.759 It's just different now. I mean, how important is you know, 457 00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:56.000 the record, you know, the box score to what you guys, do 458 00:30:56.119 --> 00:31:00.960 now or are you letting people get that from wherever they get it from and 459 00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:07.119 you kind of get deeper and use your staff that way. I think that's 460 00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:10.559 a great question, and it depends on the sport and it depends on how 461 00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:14.480 our You know, people ain't talking about this because we should be able to 462 00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:18.000 just cover the most important things, but there has to be an understanding of 463 00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:21.400 what is more important than of one thing to another to the audience, and 464 00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:25.319 digital analytics really help with that for us to be able to be able to 465 00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:27.680 sit here and say that, look, the end result in terms of the 466 00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:33.440 minutia of how a game ended. In Major League Baseball, when there's one 467 00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:36.680 hundred and sixty two games, isn't as important as the fact that di'mond backs 468 00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:38.519 to law sixth straight and are falling out. The Angels haven't won in the 469 00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:44.039 month of August's quite deciding to keep ocnning. So covering things that I'm talking 470 00:31:44.039 --> 00:31:48.279 on twothon level obviously, but covering things has to go deeper than the numbers 471 00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:51.200 like that. You guys, I know, I believe are having Bruce Pass 472 00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:52.960 go on in the next hour, and I believe Bruce is going to get 473 00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:56.880 to talk about where he's heading tomorrow, and that's part of it. You 474 00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:01.039 know, we're investing financially and sending Bruce to the Middle East on this script 475 00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:06.400 where the UF basketball team is going to Israel Nabudhabi. It's not just because 476 00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:08.599 Bruce gets the cool strip out of the deal, but it's because, you 477 00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:13.880 know, access has changed to players and being able to introduce athletes in situations 478 00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:16.440 and coaches who are accessible, like Tommy Lloyd, but in different ways, 479 00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:21.119 in unique ways. I'm not we're going to send Bruce the whole season, 480 00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:23.559 don't get me wrong, but this is an important investment for us financially to 481 00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:28.640 pay for a plane ticket and hotels because what he can bring back to Tucson 482 00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:31.400 by being one of the only media outlets there. It's not the only one, 483 00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:35.960 it's so unique compared to being one of thirty they're in the teams. 484 00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:39.640 So it's understanding the balance point of those two things and knowing when Tony Enup 485 00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:44.640 is worth it to bring an audience that cares so much about a topic, 486 00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:49.680 something different and unique and new compared to the same thing every day. We're 487 00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:52.640 still going to cover the team every day in the same way, but This 488 00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:57.000 is just one example where we are putting a premium on those unique moments and 489 00:32:57.039 --> 00:33:00.119 elements to the sports. So here's here's the rub though, And I know 490 00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:05.160 that the UA doesn't dictate what you guys write or what can or can I 491 00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:08.759 write. They're kind of limiting what he can write in a weird way. 492 00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:14.640 Do you mean in what sense, like on a day to day basis covering 493 00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:17.400 a team? Right? Yeah, no, And that's exactly why. Like, 494 00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:22.279 that's why in a case like this, going on this trip for eleven 495 00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:27.000 days and owning that coverage for our audience, meaning making sure that we're delivering 496 00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:31.039 that to an audience that wants something beyond conference realignment talking things is really important 497 00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:34.720 on a day to day basis. You're actually right, you guys are there 498 00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:39.759 the same kind of storylines get shifted between the different outlets around town. How 499 00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:43.720 they write AM is different, and that's actually kind of fun from a sports 500 00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:47.000 media standpoint. But the audience has much less of a connection to the athletes 501 00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:50.319 than they did many years ago. I remember, and I might have shared 502 00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:53.480 this with you guys recently, but I remember when Ed granted there was the 503 00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:58.960 Sean Miller situation and book Richardson Saga and all of that going on at the 504 00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:01.960 time. But I member when Justin Spears talks to DeAndre een in the locker 505 00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:06.880 room at the Packs Flow basketball tournament in Las Vegas for the first time anyone 506 00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:12.039 talks to DeAndre eighteen in like seven months, and he was a stand up 507 00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:15.639 comedian in that room, and yet no one knew it and no one got 508 00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:19.159 that opportunity. So, you know, situations like this, the chance to 509 00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:22.719 send Bruce and have him get to potentially interact and we don't know how that's 510 00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:24.800 going to be on the trip, but he's going to work his magic and 511 00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:29.960 potentially interact with these young people in a way that we won't necessarily see during 512 00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:34.639 the season. It's really important to a captive audience in Suson and so you're 513 00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:38.079 right, we constantly have to look at different ways to tell the stories of 514 00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:42.599 not just what's going on in the business side, but who these dung people 515 00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:45.519 are. You know, I don't love the term seing athletes, but they're 516 00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:52.159 students and their athletes and they're interesting and I think we have more wanting eyes 517 00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:54.960 and ears to that, but less opportunity to tell it. So the creativity 518 00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:59.480 is huge to your point. Yeah, no, no, perfect stuff and 519 00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:04.679 very act you're Yeah, thanks Brett as usual, Thank good luck, than 520 00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:10.079 you have fun with the job. I laughed. Yeah, okay, cool, 521 00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:13.880 Yeah, Bruce's gonna come on the other side. Bruce is more to 522 00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:15.719 day. You know, he's more a matter of facts, you know, 523 00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:19.920 you know, and I you know, i'd be interesting to see what you 524 00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:22.840 know. I mean, they clearly well you would think that if they're gonna 525 00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:27.159 invest this kind of money to go on a trip like this, they've kind 526 00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:30.000 of mapped out how they want to cover it, sure, what they want 527 00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:31.920 to do, what's gonna come back. They're gonna get clicks because people are 528 00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:35.599 gonna want to read about it because nobody else is going to cover that. 529 00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:37.639 Right, But you know they're not being followed by the athletic right, you 530 00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:42.880 may get scores of games which you're not going to get, you know. 531 00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:46.360 And we'll talk to him, because Tommy has been very adamant, if that's 532 00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:51.719 right word to him saying this is you're not gonna be able to have access 533 00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:54.239 like you think you're gonna have access to uh, but you're gonna have access. 534 00:35:54.440 --> 00:35:58.239 Yeah, you know, he's only gonna have more access than you're sure, 535 00:35:58.440 --> 00:36:01.519 sure, so let's the money worth the trip? Probably? Yeah, 536 00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:07.719 but dot dot dot we'll see. Okay, let's take a break, all 537 00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:10.280 right, take some calls.

Twenty five chapters for his twenty five 543 00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:31.079 years as Arizona's beloved coach.

It's just strange. 586 00:39:50.119 --> 00:39:52.840 Honestly, it's just strange. During the break, I was reading in a 587 00:39:52.840 --> 00:40:00.800 pad forty column on on Sports Illustrated and just like it just everything's just been 588 00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:04.559 thrown into the wind. You know, well, being regional, uh you 589 00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:08.920 know, you know, the whole the whole footprint thing, your tradition, 590 00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:15.280 rivalries, Uh, you know, the academics, it's just all out the 591 00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:19.480 window. Now it's just like who can get us the most money? All 592 00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:22.079 right, let's take this call. Ah, you're on there and I on 593 00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:27.960 the ball. Yeah, how are you guys doing? I had a idea 594 00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:32.960 for Bruce on his big strip. It seems like part with part of the 595 00:40:34.199 --> 00:40:38.480 reason why they don't want a lot of reporting for d Force security. Yes, 596 00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:44.559 that's definitely the case. I wondered. Could could he do a blog 597 00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:47.880 or a journal that could be published after he got back. I'm sure he 598 00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:52.519 can. They're not gonna limit him totally. They're not gonna say and you 599 00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:55.440 can't do this. But but security is one of the reasons why he's gonna 600 00:40:55.480 --> 00:40:59.480 do his job. There's no question about it. It's just gonna be limited. 601 00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:02.440 Yeah, there's gonna be some questions as to how much he can say 602 00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:07.880 on a given day. Yeah, Like, but for us sports fans, 603 00:41:07.960 --> 00:41:12.719 it would be interesting to read even after the fact. Oh yeah, of 604 00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:15.320 course, of course. I think. Well, if you stay tuned for 605 00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:17.440 Yeah, we're gonna have Bruce in about a half hour and he'll explain more. 606 00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:22.199 We just throwing it out there, and thanks again for all your your 607 00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:27.440 coverage during all the chaos last week. What do you make of it? 608 00:41:28.039 --> 00:41:30.599 What do you make of it? What do you make of it? Well, 609 00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:34.760 you know, I think it's inevitable, and you know, you gotta 610 00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:38.800 trust Robbins and hekey and you know, the one thing I wondered is you 611 00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:45.639 have a wanted to go with or without AFU and UH and Utah. Well, 612 00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:51.519 what would have happened if they've holed Big ten and when all the corner 613 00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:59.320 schools go head us add at a discount? I guess I'm not sure understand 614 00:41:59.320 --> 00:42:04.519 your questions to say that again, So Washington and Oregon went to the Big 615 00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:09.480 pen at a discount? Well, I was. I was a firm believer 616 00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:15.920 in what uh doctor Robbins was saying, is we want to go, whether 617 00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:20.239 ASU wants to go or not, whether your pa wants to go or not. 618 00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:24.679 And when we all bundled, my only concern was maybe, uh, 619 00:42:25.480 --> 00:42:29.679 they wouldn't give us full value. No, I think I think all along 620 00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:32.119 Arizona going to the Big twelve was always going to be at full value. 621 00:42:34.760 --> 00:42:37.440 But Robbins had said a number of times they could go without a SU although 622 00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:42.400 they didn't really want to. And then well that was that was fine with 623 00:42:42.559 --> 00:42:45.599 me, as long as we could always have the Territorial Cup at the beginning 624 00:42:45.679 --> 00:42:53.719 of the year. And Uh, it would have increased the rivalry. Did 625 00:42:53.760 --> 00:42:58.199 your name again? I know you call every now and again. I'm John, 626 00:42:58.400 --> 00:43:00.960 So John, you sound like one of us, an older guy. 627 00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:04.760 I'm sorry if I'm wrong with that. But would you would you be okay 628 00:43:04.880 --> 00:43:07.920 to do the streaming stuff? Are you good at that? Well, I'm 629 00:43:08.079 --> 00:43:14.400 seventy four and I do stream, but uh, but it's difficult, you 630 00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:17.440 know what I mean. I've tried different streaming services and I've had troubles. 631 00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:22.519 And my son who helps me is in Phoenix, so I don't always have 632 00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:27.360 a young person to help me do it. And uh, I really understand 633 00:43:27.480 --> 00:43:35.039 the whole linear thing beyond the streaming, that for the exposures for the athletes 634 00:43:35.199 --> 00:43:39.719 and the conference and the brand and the benefit for the new time zones, 635 00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:43.920 and uh, you know, I think it's going to be interesting. But 636 00:43:44.039 --> 00:43:46.880 to answer your question, I do know how to stream, and I don't 637 00:43:46.920 --> 00:43:52.880 have I don't have table interesting all right, I'm hanging on me. I'm 638 00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:55.400 hanging on I might have to borrow your son from a moment or two. 639 00:43:55.719 --> 00:43:59.920 Yeah, but I mean it's your business, so you guys got to have 640 00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:04.400 of it all. And I certainly understand the bouncing back and forth from linear 641 00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:08.119 to yeah, in linear as opposed to streaming. And I probably would have 642 00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:15.800 bought Apple. I never Yeah, I didn't have direct TV. Yeah yeah, 643 00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:19.480 okay, well I did have. I did have streaming problems with the 644 00:44:19.559 --> 00:44:22.920 back twelve. Yeah, okay, John, thank you very much, appreciate 645 00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:28.719 the call. I think he's typical of you know, yeah, we're gonna 646 00:44:28.719 --> 00:44:31.719 stream at some point because we have to. And I streamed some, but 647 00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:37.800 I still my basis is around cave. So so in listening to some of 648 00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:40.719 the other presidents and talking, I'm sure you listened to some of the others 649 00:44:40.880 --> 00:44:45.679 and they were talking about it was kind of like, uh, scientific stuff. 650 00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:47.159 They were talking about stuff they didn't understand right, kind of like me. 651 00:44:47.559 --> 00:44:51.679 But they were saying and yesterday or two days ago, when doctor Robbins 652 00:44:51.719 --> 00:44:53.880 was talking about the stats, how they'd have them kind of come up and 653 00:44:53.960 --> 00:45:00.280 they'd have highlights and things like that. That sounds real cool. Events it's 654 00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:01.519 gonna be George Jetson the type of stuff. No, it is, and 655 00:45:01.599 --> 00:45:04.480 that that's where we're here to. I mean, we're we're at to a 656 00:45:04.519 --> 00:45:07.280 point where and part of this is being accelerated by the whole gambling aspect of 657 00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:10.920 this. You know, there's gonna be like, like I just saw that 658 00:45:12.079 --> 00:45:15.840 somebody's putting is gonna be going excuse me, pretty soon or maybe already is 659 00:45:16.559 --> 00:45:22.280 where you can bet on every golf shot in the tournament to what to what 660 00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:24.639 to do whatever. You can say, this guy's gonna hit it on the 661 00:45:24.679 --> 00:45:28.280 green or he's gonna miss the green, or you know, like there's a 662 00:45:28.320 --> 00:45:30.639 golf shot coming up, and if you're quicken up, you can put a 663 00:45:30.679 --> 00:45:31.360 bet down. Well, don't they do that in football? He did in 664 00:45:31.480 --> 00:45:35.199 Vegas whether they can run her pass or yeah, yeah, there's something. 665 00:45:35.280 --> 00:45:38.039 There's something that going on and in different leagues are looking at doing stuff like 666 00:45:38.199 --> 00:45:43.840 that where you can bet not just on a game, you can bet on 667 00:45:43.920 --> 00:45:45.960 a play and those kinds of things. And that's the kind of stuff where 668 00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:51.519 you know, we're you know, again, the technology has to be that 669 00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:53.800 you know, if you're watching it live. Let's say you're sitting in the 670 00:45:53.840 --> 00:45:58.760 stadium and you're seeing a play as it happens, that if somebody's in their 671 00:45:58.800 --> 00:46:00.880 living room, they got to be seeing it at the exact same time. 672 00:46:01.719 --> 00:46:04.960 You know, if you ever saw the staying right, you ever see the 673 00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:07.840 sting that they were what they called pass posting, and that's how they set 674 00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:12.719 up there, the scam that they that they had. But you know, 675 00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:15.000 I mean, you know, I just today I'll tell you. So I 676 00:46:15.159 --> 00:46:22.440 had I had Dan Patrick on my on Peacock on my TV streaming, and 677 00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:24.840 and then I was in another room and so I had it on on my 678 00:46:25.079 --> 00:46:30.800 phone and I'm listening to it off of the iHeart app. And they were 679 00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:36.079 not simultaneous, they were not the same. One was ahead of the other. 680 00:46:36.400 --> 00:46:38.320 Why are you doing this? You're gonna you're the guy who studies too 681 00:46:38.400 --> 00:46:40.599 much and forgets everything. No, I was just listening to the show. 682 00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:45.239 But he left right. No, they were the same show. So they 683 00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:47.000 do that at home. And I was listening to you she's listening to what 684 00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:50.199 they were talking about, and I was. I had to leave the room 685 00:46:50.239 --> 00:46:52.679 for work on TV, so I wanted to keep hearing it. And it 686 00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:57.039 was it wasn't that happens to be in my living room, in my bedroom 687 00:46:57.079 --> 00:46:59.199 where it's not. They're not. I don't know what it is, but 688 00:46:59.320 --> 00:47:02.480 it's not. Like I was watching the Dodging game, right, I had 689 00:47:02.480 --> 00:47:08.519 the Dodge Game and so I had it on my computer screen. But then 690 00:47:08.599 --> 00:47:15.280 I had the game cast on my phone because and I was getting the play 691 00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:21.320 on game cast before I was seeing it. Oh yeah, because someone takes 692 00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:23.280 me. Hey, the Orioles won or lost, and I'm thinking it's not 693 00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:25.400 over. You know it's over. Or if you ever tried to listen, 694 00:47:27.119 --> 00:47:29.400 you don't do this, and I do this. You know, I put 695 00:47:29.519 --> 00:47:34.480 I take headphones to you a football game, right and Brian Jefferies is just 696 00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:38.280 a scoche behind the play. Okay, you don't just look. And that's 697 00:47:38.320 --> 00:47:43.480 if you're listening to it directly on the radio. You know, I take 698 00:47:43.519 --> 00:47:46.039 a little radio things I hooked to my belt. If you put him on 699 00:47:46.119 --> 00:47:52.320 the app, you're sometimes you're seconds delayed, crazy, Okay, okay, 700 00:47:53.159 --> 00:47:57.199 And that's where we're headed, Steve, I mean we're headed, no question. 701 00:47:57.320 --> 00:48:00.360 And then and the technology is just gonna get better better. You know, 702 00:48:00.440 --> 00:48:02.320 my brother talks about he did not go to the Arizona Ble this year 703 00:48:02.360 --> 00:48:06.760 for the first time. I'm not even sure why, but he didn't go. 704 00:48:07.039 --> 00:48:10.199 So he watched the Barstool Sports. Yeah. Yeah, there were problems 705 00:48:10.280 --> 00:48:15.199 with the with the buffery and that's the number one reason. That's the number 706 00:48:15.199 --> 00:48:22.280 one thing. And some people talked about who was it, uh that would 707 00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:24.760 direct TV. There's some real worries about that because the direct if he's gonna 708 00:48:24.760 --> 00:48:28.760 be on YouTube TV, YouTube TV did a game of some sort, and 709 00:48:28.800 --> 00:48:30.519 they were having trouble, uh, you know, staying up with it. 710 00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:34.920 You're watching direct TV. You want to see you know, you don't get 711 00:48:34.920 --> 00:48:38.440 it. Of course, of course it's like phones were back in the day. 712 00:48:38.880 --> 00:48:40.800 You just had to kind of catch up. Can you hear me? 713 00:48:40.880 --> 00:48:44.719 Can you hear me now? Blah blah blah. So it is what it 714 00:48:44.840 --> 00:48:46.239 is. I mean, I think that Brett explained that very well. Where 715 00:48:46.880 --> 00:48:52.119 in the early stagees had backpacked when taking the taking the streaming thing, there 716 00:48:52.119 --> 00:48:55.920 would have been hiccups, hiccup hiccups. Eventually got it worked out. Years 717 00:48:57.000 --> 00:49:00.159 later it was oh, what a great deal we came across. I mean, 718 00:49:00.159 --> 00:49:02.719 I remember when we went from uh from dial up you know, internet 719 00:49:02.840 --> 00:49:10.760 to sure you know, sure, sure you yeah, Well come on, 720 00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:15.880 just in our business alone, we had we had the bubbles, right, 721 00:49:15.079 --> 00:49:17.880 I had to. I worked with the bubble. We worked to TRSA, 722 00:49:19.079 --> 00:49:22.760 the RSA, the radio show which were now you just think, how how 723 00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:24.159 did we do that? We had four lines of texts to be able to 724 00:49:24.239 --> 00:49:28.480 see it right right and then and then they moved on to the kind of 725 00:49:28.519 --> 00:49:30.000 computers and now now we have what we have, well, we have what 726 00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:32.800 we have yeah, no, those and that was just within the last twenty 727 00:49:32.840 --> 00:49:37.039 five years, thirty years. Yeah, you know, because in yeah, 728 00:49:37.239 --> 00:49:38.800 eighty eight, eighty seven eight, we were carrying the bubbles and then the 729 00:49:38.880 --> 00:49:45.880 TSA and then couplers and the couple I remember a card that I told the 730 00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:50.760 Arizona NLV game nineteen eighty six, eighty seventeen, so it was eighty six, 731 00:49:51.079 --> 00:49:53.719 and they had one of those bubbles for people don't know what the bubbles 732 00:49:53.760 --> 00:49:57.719 it was. It was kind of a big box with a teeny little computer 733 00:49:57.840 --> 00:50:00.920 screen and a keyboard and you could trans at your story, but you had 734 00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:02.360 to hook it up to an actual phone. So I had to take the 735 00:50:02.639 --> 00:50:07.320 headset of a phone and stick it on the thing, and the UNLV I 736 00:50:07.400 --> 00:50:09.679 had to lift up my my thing, go to a pay phone in the 737 00:50:09.800 --> 00:50:15.400 media room and plug it in and then make the call on the pay phone 738 00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:19.599 and plug it and hold it. Because they didn't have phone lines in the 739 00:50:19.639 --> 00:50:23.159 media did any disconnect or whatever when the line was it would right if you 740 00:50:23.199 --> 00:50:27.119 got a glitch or something like that. No phones in the media room. 741 00:50:27.280 --> 00:50:30.599 Wow at UNLV in that day time, in that day, so how often 742 00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:32.920 did you have to do that? Like every every game, every game, 743 00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:36.599 every game in every time you follow the story, right, wow, yeah, 744 00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:38.559 when you were working from home or something, Yeah, yeah, you 745 00:50:38.679 --> 00:50:42.159 had that thing. It was about ten pounds or whatever it was. It 746 00:50:42.199 --> 00:50:46.039 was a little box. Yeah. And then don't forget about the photographers. 747 00:50:46.239 --> 00:50:51.079 They had their little litmus. They had their I don't even want the thing 748 00:50:51.159 --> 00:50:53.079 that spuned. It was it was a fact. It was. It was 749 00:50:53.159 --> 00:50:58.320 a yeah, you put you put the photo, the color photo on this 750 00:50:58.559 --> 00:51:02.480 roller and it would spin like a fax machine and transmit the yeah, the 751 00:51:02.519 --> 00:51:06.880 color. The suitcase too, they had to do. Yeah, yeah, 752 00:51:07.239 --> 00:51:08.920 we stay you know when we traveled, it was with the photographer of myself 753 00:51:09.119 --> 00:51:13.320 and then he'd be up doing that stuff and I'd be upwriding on those things. 754 00:51:13.519 --> 00:51:16.119 Right, Okay, man, the good old days. Say so, 755 00:51:16.440 --> 00:51:21.000 I mean it sounds like carving, you know, break you know in a 756 00:51:21.079 --> 00:51:24.599 stone or something too. When I was you had to dictate if you didn't 757 00:51:24.599 --> 00:51:30.639 have one of those yeah oh yeah, oh yeah yeah.
