following a lawsuit against the university's athletic
association. Yeah, she was. She

14
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:10.680
was going to the car rash right. Yeah. She's been on leave because

15
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:15.400
she refused to talk to investigators about
what would happen. Apparently she's only she

16
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.280
was only making twelve thousand dollars a
year, so now she's looking she's seeking

17
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.280
more than about two hundred thousand dollars
in the suit, probably more, and

18
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.280
from the kid who got drafted.
Right, So it's a big convoluted mess.

33
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:36.719
Okay, so you know, yeah, that was not that I was

34
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:42.599
not that I was following her or
anything like that. Okay, sure,

35
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:49.879
sure, she's from Denmark. I
think I'm not sure. Okay. The

36
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:54.520
Patriots are signing their former home grown
pass rush for Trey Flowers. He won

37
00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:00.280
a Super Bowl and two titles in
New England before leaving to destroy So he's

38
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:04.080
coming back home, coming back,
all right? What is it? Who?

39
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.759
Who? What is he? He's
a pass rusher? Okay? Yeah?

40
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:13.560
Uh. The former number two overall
pick Jabari Parker signed with FC Barcelona,

41
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.800
the Spanish club. He was actually
number two behind Andrew Wiggins. Wow,

42
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:27.000
he's six fourteen. Jabari Parker or
Duke Duke great? Yeah, so

43
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.599
I was gonna say, and not
to not to rip Duke because they've obviously

44
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:35.479
done very well, but they're they're
graduates. They have been great. Like

45
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:42.360
people who say consider him the greatest
college basketball player ever. No, the

46
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:47.120
dude that made the shot against Kentucht
Christian Latern. You know, they didn't

47
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:53.400
have hardly any of them. Very
few make long term, long term yeah,

48
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:58.439
yeah. Uh, the Vikings will
are going to be wearing a jersey

49
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.960
patch on our classic uniforms, which
will be honoring Bud Grant for their regular

50
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:05.360
season opener against the Buccaneers. Bud
Grant, Man, you took him to

51
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:10.120
four Super Bowls and didn't win any
bummer for him. I liked him.

52
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.319
I liked the Vikings during that time. I mean really did Joe cap who's

53
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:20.920
thet the Purple People leaders, you
know, Alan Page, Alan Page.

54
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:25.360
Uh, that was right in the
middle of the seven. Remember Jim Marshall,

55
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.759
the linebacker, linebacker who once recovered
a fumble and ran the wrong way.

56
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:33.959
With all that, all right,
we dated ourselves right there, really

57
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:40.120
bad. Chris was listening, sorry, but for Vikings dated ourselves really really

58
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:46.240
bad. Specific going back to this
uh the ACC thing, it sounds like,

59
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:50.680
uh, the the ACC is also
interested in SMU, which is like,

60
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:56.759
I'm SMU makes way more sense than
Calan Stanford. But they said that

61
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.959
they've been preliminary talks with Callen Stanford
about joining the ACC. It is preliminary,

62
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.319
but they are clearly exploring it.
Oh so I brought this up during

63
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:10.160
the during the break seeve the Orioles
announcer. Yeah, you know, I

64
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:15.920
mean here Baltimoreal's play by play guy. All he did was they were getting

65
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:19.040
ready to start opening a series with
Tampa Bay and talking about how they were

66
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:25.120
oh and fifteen and the had horrible
losing street against Tampa Bay, hadn't hadn't

67
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:30.040
won a series against Tampa Bay since
twenty seventeen. All facts, all truth,

68
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.279
nothing wrong with it, and he
didn't he wasn't making fun of it.

69
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:38.839
He just said it and reported it
because that's what was going on in

70
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:45.759
a pregame show. And they suspended
him. What the actual Yeah, A

71
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.519
lot of people have come to his
defense because he just was doing his job.

72
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:55.360
I'm trying to remember. Oh,
I won't say what. I won't

73
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:58.000
say what, but it would be
like working for the U of A.

74
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.199
And you're I don't know if you're
on the clock with him or whatever,

75
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.600
but you're you're supposed to be in
a broad rock guy and saying that a

76
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:10.040
sho is beating you seven straight times, And that was pretty much sir.

77
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.800
Bryan Jefferies has said that what days
you went four in a row recently,

78
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:16.480
you're having a row. Yeah,
And but if you say some negative stuff,

79
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:18.120
oh, by the way, you
said something, but they don't.

80
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:23.439
You need you don't and that's just
so petty. And the Orioles. Yeah,

81
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.439
they are taking a beating for it
in the media, as they should,

82
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.639
as they freaking ship. Well did
you did you see what happened to

83
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.120
the guy? So the guy,
he's the youngest guy, young young guy,

84
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.600
saw the video. Good at what
he does. I guess. I

85
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:40.800
got an email from some guy,
some some team earlier saying that he has

86
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:46.560
been offered seven hundred and fifty thousand
dollars to work to be a play by

87
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.800
play for Have you heard of cam
Soda? So it's kind it's it's a

88
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:54.160
it's a portant side, I guess
for for stuff and to come and do

89
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:58.959
play by plays for the seven hundred
and fifty thousand dollars to come in.

90
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.079
And they were serious about it because
I got the one year deal, half

91
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:06.240
a year deal the rest of the
baseball season contract. We understand you've gone

92
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:09.879
through some tough times. I'm glad. I'm glad I was able to say

93
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:12.480
that I never heard of it and
then told me it was a porn site

94
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:15.519
because I hope my wife was listening
that I do not know what that.

95
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.000
I don't know if it's a porn, but it's a porn something. Yeah,

96
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:26.040
okay, some of her fifty thousand, I said, okay, one

97
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:33.240
leg goes here, one leg goes
there. Okay, come on, Steve,

98
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:41.319
you're bringing the show down. We
just got a call her got more

99
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:45.199
listening. Oh my god, it's
just kind of strange. Anything else,

100
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:46.839
No, no, so the tea
went back to practice today. I did

101
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:51.279
not go to day too busy to
do another stuff. But I would assume

102
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:55.800
that things are going to the practice. Yeah yeah, so no, no

103
00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:01.240
tomorrow, but Thursday. Yeah,
so it's muggy. Did you go Yeah?

104
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:03.959
I did? Is it muggy?
Awful? Muggy? What do you

105
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.279
mean outside? Oh yeah, it's
been hot, yeah, but today it's

106
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:11.920
been it's kind of muggy. Yeah. I mean luckily got out of shade,

107
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.199
you know, so I mean it
wasn't too bad. I'm a wasading

108
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.120
Watts, so yeah, you know. Yeah. Oh, here's what I

109
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:22.560
don't know if you saw this ESPN
through through Disney is going into uh is

110
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:28.079
joining or I know it's you know, a partnership I guess with Pen Entertainment,

111
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.279
which is a gambling company. Right, So ESPN is going to be

112
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.360
a gambling is it is? It
is ironic here Disney Disney, which is

113
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.679
are you just feeling pretty heavily in
debt big time? Right? I think

114
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:43.919
that's one of the problems. I
stay up until December. Well my point

115
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:48.919
is this family sting. There's no
venturing into this thing gambling, and it

116
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.840
might save the company. I don't
know. There's gotta be a reason why

117
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.840
they're doing it. Well, they're
doing it because, it says pen which

118
00:08:54.879 --> 00:09:01.200
is based in Pennsylvania. This is
according to a story uh in the La

119
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:09.000
Times. We'll pay one point five
billion dollars in cash over the next ten

120
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:13.879
years for the rights to use the
ESPN name as part of its gambling.

121
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.279
Hire hire everybody back. Yeah,
yeah, they were. They were previously

122
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:24.519
in a relationship with barstool Sports,
which is going back to what you're getting

123
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:26.960
rid of and going basically going that
ownership pieces went back to barstool Sports.

124
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.679
Okay, so they will no longer
be a partner with barstenal Sports, but

125
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:37.440
uh so they're gonna, says penn
will put esp the ESPN on the online

126
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:43.000
on its online sports book products that
currently used its barspitual Sports brand. Names

127
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.080
in the sixteen states where it operates. What does it mean for boar Stool

128
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:50.879
Sports? I mean, will find
somebody else. So basically it's one point

129
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:54.159
seven billion in cash over ten years. So what's that one hundred and fifty

130
00:09:54.200 --> 00:10:00.639
million a year? ESPN man going
going and gets some money. Yeah,

131
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:03.279
bring everybody back, Let's hire everybody
back, and let's start going to games

132
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.759
again. Instead of calling them from
from TV, the Arizona could have just

133
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.759
waited one more week for a TV
year. You know what, if they're

134
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.360
like me, it's already spent.
It's already spent. You gotta go.

135
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.360
You gotta go make the donuts,
because we'll go make the donuts. Okay,

136
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:24.720
anything else going on out there?
No, you know, I think

137
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.240
I think all this stuff is settling
from you know, all this, you

138
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.879
know, all the realignments. I
had something for you because the coaches,

139
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:37.120
the coaches of pole came out yesterday. Oregon State landed I think seventeen ish

140
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:39.399
seventeen. So that's one of your
teams that you gotta find the way they

141
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.639
needed Well, we've said they need
to beat either Washington State or Oregon State

142
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:48.000
this year. But these guys are
nugging they're not. I think they're not

143
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.559
gonna be Can you say I think
they're not gonna be as good as everybody

144
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.720
thinks they are, because we've seen
Arizona where everybody thought they're gonna be really

145
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.639
good and then they weren't. You
know, a program like Arizona, which

146
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.759
I would compare Oregon State Washington STA. You know, you get all I'm

147
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.200
not gonna say you get all full
of yourselves, but you know, you

148
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:07.679
have a great year and they think
you're gonna have another great year. You

149
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:13.399
lose guys, things change, You
don't have the you know you're you're not

150
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.559
a usc that just calls up the
next guy and he's just as good as

151
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.279
the one that left. You know
you're not that and so well, you'll

152
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:24.080
be interesting to see whether Oregon State
really does live up to all the hype

153
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.200
they're getting. If I had to
bet Oregon States over under, which I

154
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:30.080
believe is eight and a half,
which is a lot, I would probably

155
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:33.879
take the under. Yeah, and
I think there's some bias by you and

156
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.440
then he it's Oregon State. You
know what I'm saying. They don't they

157
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:39.720
don't use, they don't they don't
move the needle for me. Did you

158
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:45.840
did you see Washington the Washington Commanders
and Ron Roberta talking about Eric b anim

159
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:50.440
Yea and that some of the players
are concerned about his his intensity. Yeah,

160
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:52.919
it's too much that it's just like
a bunch of you know what,

161
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:58.360
like what if they want the culture
to change, like you know, Eric,

162
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:03.000
the enemy's coming, he's come,
I'm winning championship culture, So for

163
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.279
them to just complain about how he
you know, talks to players and how

164
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:09.279
he coaches basically, it's just you
know, so it's so weird to me

165
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:11.759
because, like you just said,
if they want to change their culture,

166
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:13.639
it's rush from that, you know, the top. Right, So if

167
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.960
ronnerver has been there how many years
and they've been losing consistently, right,

168
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.320
Yeah, he's I think he's only
been here itself has been just now they

169
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:24.679
have you know, a new OC
Eric Manny, who's who knows how to

170
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.159
win. But it takes and the
players are just you know, I'm happy

171
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.200
about what. Here's the enemy talking. I'm always going to be loud,

172
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.039
I'm always going to be vocal.
I'm always going to demand from my leaders,

173
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:37.279
he said. And then if I
ain't doing my job, my ass

174
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.519
gets fired. Yeah, it's my
job and responsibly to make sure I'm getting

175
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:45.600
our guys to do what I'm asking
them to do, because he should,

176
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.080
like that's what he's supposed to be
doing. That's why he's there. They're

177
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.919
concerned. They don't yell about my
players. Yeah, don't yell at my

178
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:56.639
sons. Yeah, I don't know, man, if if if you're going

179
00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:58.120
soft like that, I don't know, man. I mean, yeah,

180
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.480
there are limitations stuff. But as
you said, whatever he was doing in

181
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.759
Kansas City was working well, and
they said he was the next guy in

182
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.000
line for a job right now and
he still hasn't been able to get that.

183
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:15.320
But so okay, you want to
take off, let's take off.

184
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.080
Get a held of Bruce. We
got about a minute here anyway. Yeah,

185
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.679
I was gonna I was gonna go
big game. Bloomer had the twenty

186
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:26.320
five scariest football stadiums to play in
at night. Oh give me, what's

187
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:31.559
number one USC at night? No, they're I don't think they're talking about

188
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:37.039
outside the stadium. And it's not
the number one that is that is the

189
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:41.200
true true thing about outside the stadium. I'm not gonna yeah, no,

190
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:46.080
but we're talking inside the stadium.
Second, Oh, I don't know who's

191
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.360
won Penn State. I've never been
there. Okay, white out at night.

192
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:56.559
I was thinking State Kevin probably look
blue. I'm so sure about the

193
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:01.279
Iowa's third, text and m fourth, Auburn fifth are scary, all right?

194
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.600
Oregon, Nah, number six,
they're softies. There's a bunch of

195
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:09.480
wheenies over there. Who else is
in there? South Carolina, Tennessee,

196
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:13.240
Clemson, Clemson, I think would
be which should be top five? Right?

197
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.080
UTA's one you tells got a great
crowd. Not big because they're like

198
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.519
in the forties. Yeah, but
man, someone someone pushed the post to

199
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.200
the attendance of all the big twelve
schools, there was almost like third.

200
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.080

201
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:35.360
biggest was sixty seven. Well they're
not big cities, any of them,

202

here on Sports fourteen fifty. I'm
Steve Rivera, He's jakensas gotta got James

274
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:51.559
held us today. Now we have
Bruce Pasco of the Arizona day Star that

275
00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:56.400
you're getting some risk before you head
out. No, you know how it

276
00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:00.559
is, anytime you take a trip
is always like crazy busy, and there's

277
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:02.880
no doubt about that. But you
know, I mean, I think there's

278
00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:06.119
some adrenaline going on here for everybody. So have you ever been to the

279
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:11.359
Middle East or to Israel specifically?
No, I mean that's why, you

280
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:15.319
know, I'm lucky to go.
I always lucky to travel with this team

281
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:18.559
as much as I do. But
also, you know, this obviously is

282
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:22.880
is different, and you know it
gives everybody a chance to, you know,

283
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:27.559
to kind of absorb some of the
culture and tradition and history. I

284
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:30.799
mean, you know, you guys
saw yesterday taught me like super fired up

285
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:34.000
about this. I'm not sure the
players already going into this, but he's

286
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:37.799
gonna. I'm sure some of that
enthusiasm's gonna rub off on him, and

287
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:41.200
I think even the staffers. I
asked a couple of staffers of this,

288
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:44.599
there are you guys gotta jump on
the dead seat, and they looked at

289
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:48.160
me like, of course we are. You know, like everybody wants to

290
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:51.000
experience it, so you know it
should be a lot of fun. Question

291
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:55.359
are you going to do that?
I don't know. Honestly, I don't

292
00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:57.440
even know if I'm going, because
that's like the one weird little thing about

293
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:03.640
how this trip will work, whether
you know where they're gonna go, I

294
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.319
mean, and you know, whether
they're gonna have room or if I'm gonna

295
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:08.880
rent a car and trying to meet
him at a beach somewhere. I have

296
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:12.440
no idea, and we're just got
to play that by year. But but

297
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:15.079
certainly, yeah, I mean,
once again, I don't know if I'll

298
00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:18.839
ever be Hopefully I'll come back some
day, you know, just as a

299
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:22.880
tourist to look around, but you
know, you never know. So if

300
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.440
I have a chance and I've done
my you know, enough reporting or whatever,

301
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:29.400
or maybe jumping into part of the
reporting, I have no idea.

302
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:32.559
I just have to wing up.
I guess that's kind of what we were

303
00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:36.559
talking about earlier. You don't have
an itinerary right with them, and you're

304
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:38.720
not really part of their party.
So are you gonna kind of just have

305
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:44.160
to kind of just wing it and
and show up where they're at or how

306
00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:48.319
is this going to work? Yeah? Yeah, well they've they've sorted you

307
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:52.359
know. Yeah. I think most
of the places they're going are you know,

308
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:55.559
in cities and things where I can
just kind of show up, take

309
00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:59.000
the taxi there or bus and you
know, and in the UAE, I'll

310
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:00.960
probably rent a car are so I
can kind of join up, and then

311
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:04.400
there may be a couple of cases
if they have a second bus, you

312
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:10.720
know, maybe we might get on
that. It's hard to say because they

313
00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:14.480
don't even know. And so so
I've literally lined up some rental cars and

314
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:17.440
for some reason there's no room.
I'm getting a car and I'll follow them

315
00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:21.400
unless they can't, you unless it's
not possible. But I really have no

316
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:23.480
idea how that's going to go.
But I do know there's enough. But

317
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:26.200
basically I'm trying to do. But
I'm trying to do. And Tommy Lloyd,

318
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:33.279
uh, you know, you know, basically seemed okay with me showing

319
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:36.119
up for at least one thing every
day, especially when they're not playing,

320
00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:37.960
you know, like one day if
they're going to see a couple of things.

321
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:41.480
You know, I'm sure the one
might have some private team functions that

322
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:45.519
there are some others where they're going
to be touring things or having you know,

323
00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:49.720
they're doing some of the Jewish cultural
things and things like that where you

324
00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:52.799
know, maybe I can stand on
the back and kind of describe what's happening

325
00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:56.759
there or whatever. So you know, I'm pretty confident of if you get

326
00:22:56.759 --> 00:23:00.359
at least something every day to kind
of give a picture of what these guys

327
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:02.759
are going through. And you know, the more the better. But but

328
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:06.240
I also don't want to step in
anybody's way or be annoying or you know,

329
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:08.440
and take anything away from this trip, and you know, so it'll

330
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:12.000
be different. Whereas you know,
during the season, pretty much I go,

331
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:15.559
I traveled separately, I show up
for the games. I talked to

332
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:18.599
him a little before, maybe a
little after, and and but it's you

333
00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:19.799
know, kind of a parallel track, and this will be a little bit

334
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:26.759
different. So when you when you
and UH and your powers that be we're

335
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:30.720
talking about this trip, did you
pitch this to them or did you out

336
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:33.599
all kinds of say hey, we
should talk about this and then decided to

337
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:37.039
go. And if you did pitch
it, what, you know, what

338
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:40.839
was your idea of what you would
get from this from an editorial standpoint?

339
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:44.680
Well, honestly, the first thing
I did was well, one of the

340
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:48.640
first things I did, besides looking
into the rough cost was was asked Lloyd

341
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:52.440
when we were up at the Section
seven recruiting the gun in Phoenix, and

342
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:53.960
I just kind of bounced it off, and I said, Hey, if

343
00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:56.759
I go, what are you guys
doing? And you know, if I

344
00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:00.799
show up at some of the stuff
that you know, are you gonna lock?

345
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:02.920
You know? Is that okay?
Are're gonna, you know, lock

346
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:06.160
me out. I mean, frankly, that happened twenty seventeen, Arizona went

347
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:10.039
to Spain and I was told,
you're just gonna be able to cover the

348
00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:12.519
games. And that's why we didn't
go to that trip because it was a

349
00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:15.680
different situation. And you know,
as it turned out, they had a

350
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:21.119
terrorist attack and they left that that
trip early anyway, so it's just kind

351
00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:23.440
of a weird deal. But this
time, you know there and you know,

352
00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:27.319
most most exhibition trips, the other
pieces of most exhibition trips are really

353
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:30.480
about the ten practices you get at
home, and then when you go,

354
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:33.680
it's like, you know, you
play some local collection all stars and you

355
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.359
know, maybe maybe do some touring
or whatever and kind of team bonding.

356
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:41.119
There's not really that much to cover. This sounds a little different that they're

357
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:47.079
going to do some pretty substantial touring
and you know, lectures, dinners,

358
00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:51.599
etc. And they're taking a class
as part of this, and then the

359
00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:53.119
games. You know, that's still
up in the air. But they may

360
00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:57.640
actually play a national team or two
in the in Abu Dhabi, which you

361
00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:00.880
know would be a little step up
from from playing you know, just some

362
00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:04.240
random guys that are in town,
because it's always a problem on these trips

363
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:08.680
where you you go overseas and there's
no proteins that they're all on breaks,

364
00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:12.519
so you just get kind of a
collection of who's ever in talent or whatever

365
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:17.720
and and those guys having cracks just
together at all. So it tends to

366
00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:22.680
be very uncompetitive. A lot of
exhibition games that that college teams play,

367
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:25.440
so it does become more about the
practice. But this could be different,

368
00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:30.000
both because they're doing the cultural stuff
and also because they might have a decent

369
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:33.599
game or two out of this.
Although are you team so anyway answer questions,

370
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:37.799
ja I basically did find out about
that and then pitched to do our

371
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:41.839
editors that there would be a lot
of stuff to cover. You know.

372
00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:47.160
Basically the expense of the cost actually
wasn't that bad. It was basically the

373
00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:51.160
same ascending me for two rounds of
the ant Sevili Tournament, and uh,

374
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:52.960
you know, we get a lot
out of it, hopefully, and you

375
00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:56.119
know, and we believe that,
you know, we want to go everywhere

376
00:25:56.160 --> 00:26:00.440
with this team. We believe you
know, whether it's hands Deevil Tournament,

377
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:03.200
regular season exhibition, there's always interest
in it. And you know, so

378
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:07.720
we want to be there. And
you know, fortunately we had the resources

379
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:10.200
to do this, and you know, we we hope, you know,

380
00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:11.759
we hope there's interest in it.
Then we're you know, you know,

381
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:15.839
certainly I am and and uh and
then you know they decided, you know,

382
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:18.680
they decided to go for it wasn't
actually it wasn't actually a concern.

383
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:22.640
It's about that as just as much
as what's going on in Israel and is

384
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:26.160
it you know, how is that
situation there and all that kind of stuff,

385
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:32.240
but you know, knocking what it
seems to be about about of you

386
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:36.160
know, decent situations you cannounce for
are you going by yourself? You a

387
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:40.880
photographer going No, we don't.
It's just me, I mean, you

388
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:45.200
know, unfortunately, so you know, I'll have some limited uh you know

389
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:52.759
photos of my iPhone I will be
not so great probably, but and and

390
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:56.680
the UVA is sending the staff photographer
Mike Christie Hughes to work for us,

391
00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:00.559
extremely talented and he will have some
good stuff that they will have and uh,

392
00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:04.000
you know we I don't know whether
we'll use any heads or how that's

393
00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:07.680
going to work, but there will
be stuff out there, you know,

394
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.759
and you know, it's you know
most for the most part, I will

395
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:15.400
be trying to sort of illustrate things, you know, in writing and with

396
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:18.799
occasional videos and stuff like that.
That's the way we're looking at it.

397
00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:22.759
So we had a caller a little
bit ago actually call it and did say

398
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:26.880
that, you know, if you
can't do it while it's going on,

399
00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:29.880
that after the fact, you know, a blog, uh, you know,

400
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:33.119
to kind of describe some of the
behind the scenes stuff that maybe you

401
00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:34.920
can't report on while it's going on
would be it would be a very cool

402
00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:38.880
thing for for fans to read about
your kind of everything that they experience.

403
00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:42.759
How much are they going to let
you cover and talk about when you're there.

404
00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:47.440
I saw Tommy poking at you yesterday
at the press conference. Not sure

405
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:49.160
how much of that was you know
it was real and how much of that

406
00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:52.559
was you know, are you are
there going to be some limitations as to

407
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:56.559
what you get to talk? Well, no, it's funny, Jay,

408
00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:00.880
I mean, like he literally his
biggest concern. I thought he'd be concerned

409
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:06.359
about me stepping over toes and disrupting
team bonding or whatever. You know,

410
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:08.599
maybe you want to you know,
have a private deal, and no,

411
00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:12.279
his his biggest concern is that I
was going to write about the fact that,

412
00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:15.400
you know, maybe he started a
guy that he'd never going to start,

413
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:19.440
and then I would read too much
into what's going on as far as

414
00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:22.440
what that might translate into the season, like how is it going to distribute

415
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:26.960
minutes who's starting with the rotation gonna
look like? But I told him,

416
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:30.839
you know, if I'm there,
it actually works out better for that because

417
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:33.599
he'll be able to give me context
and the players and I will see more

418
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:37.960
than hopefully more than you can see
I'm streaming, whereas if I'm just hearing

419
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:40.880
too so I'm watching the stream,
which is what I did when they went

420
00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:42.200
to Spain in twenty seventeen. I'm
like, oh, a little, they

421
00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:45.880
played so and so twenty five minutes. They must really thinking highly of him.

422
00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:48.200
And then I flogged that, you
know, I had no idea,

423
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:52.759
and so I think, you know, so, I don't think there's there's

424
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:55.720
too much worry of that. I
think the only thing. The only thing

425
00:28:55.960 --> 00:28:59.839
is I think in Israel, maybe
for security reasons, is kind of I

426
00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:03.640
don't think they're publicizing much about their
actually tender where they're going to be.

427
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:07.440
I think most people will see them
talking about where they were after the factors,

428
00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:10.839
and that's true. I think with
you know, I think with me

429
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:14.039
as well. But with the time
change, it's going to be you know,

430
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:17.000
all that stuff that's going to be
happening in the wee hours over here

431
00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:18.759
in two times. So you know, it should work out. It's fun.

432
00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:22.640
It should be fun. I mean, you've taken enough, You're you're

433
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:25.279
eclectic, you've traveled the world.
I know that, so it should be

434
00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:30.079
fun for you. Another bucket list. Yeah, I mean, yeah,

435
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:33.880
I mean I'll be working all the
time, but just to be there will

436
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:36.119
be something else. And I'm going
to try and take one day at the

437
00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:40.160
end and and uh and go to
du guy just because I figure when the

438
00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:41.559
heck am I ever going to go
to the book you buying? And you

439
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:47.000
know, so just just just you
know, some things like that, and

440
00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:48.359
it's yeah, I mean, you
know, Stephen, you I know,

441
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:52.359
you've you you've you've done a lot
with the team, and you did Olympics

442
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:56.559
in Australia. I remember, I
mean that's the one. You know.

443
00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:59.799
One of the really cool things about
this business, you know, is it

444
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:03.920
that we do occasionally get to see
places and do things that we wouldn't otherwise,

445
00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:07.960
you know. And you know,
I do a lot of traveling on

446
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:11.279
my own time just because I love
traveling. But I don't know, honestly

447
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:15.079
if I'd ever go to these places
that you know, or or anytime soon.

448
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.680
So really that's a really cool things. It's funny because you know,

449
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:22.559
I traveled together for about ten years
cover with the team and and I'm sure

450
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:27.519
you missed me because he imitates me. You were always playing poker or something,

451
00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:30.759
and you know, I'd be like, well, let's you know,

452
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:33.519
love this or whatever. You know, you were always late coming off the

453
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:37.480
deadline, but he was always right
after that, right, and that too,

454
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:41.759
right, Well, not too.
I tend to actually go out by

455
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:45.319
myself a lot of times because I
am working later my deadlines or whatever,

456
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:48.319
and you know, and then everyone's
doing their own teams by the time I

457
00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:51.200
finished. And that's so I kind
of get used to that. So he

458
00:30:51.400 --> 00:30:53.640
did actually come up with he did
a good invitation of me. You know,

459
00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:56.480
after i'd follow file story, what
would I say after a story?

460
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:07.960
Oh, I don't think that's suitable
for me. You would always say the

461
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:15.279
same two words, and one of
them is not suitable every time. I

462
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:22.319
so, okay, so something something
me is what you Okay, I got

463
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:26.400
it, I got it now,
I got it. So so okay,

464
00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:30.119
so give us a schedule for you
then you know you're gonna write after you

465
00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:33.160
know, a day or a game
or whatever. When are we going to

466
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:36.480
see it here? What time will
we see it? Uh? You know,

467
00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:38.880
I'm assuming sometime we're gonna get up
and there's gonna be something waiting for

468
00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:41.559
us to read. Right, Well, I hope. So, I mean

469
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:45.039
that's where we're hoping to bring bring
and I think, I mean, I

470
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:48.640
don't know exactly. It's going to
probably be evolving. I was talking tonight

471
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:52.319
and they're bread about this today for
quite a while, and you know we

472
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:56.480
you know, because of the time
change. That's that's another reason. That's

473
00:31:56.519 --> 00:31:57.279
another thing I'm pitched him. I
say, hey, if we go on

474
00:31:57.480 --> 00:32:00.680
everything, that's gonna be in about
two o'clock or so. Because of it,

475
00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:04.920
you know, it will be midnight
over there. So I'm envisioning that,

476
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:07.799
you know, I'll probably be reporting
a lot all that, except that

477
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:13.359
the three night games, you know, three games most Elvy reporting during the

478
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:16.839
day and falling around or whatever.
And then and then sometime in the evening,

479
00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:20.960
working through the evening and then which
will be morning over here, and

480
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:24.319
then getting my stuff in hopefully late
morning and mid day and so and then

481
00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:30.519
we'll have that we may split some
of that up online during the day a

482
00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:34.240
couple of different you know times,
maybe something at noon and maybe something at

483
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:37.799
five. And then of course all
of it will be in print and online

484
00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:40.000
the next day as well, so
you know, and then then when it

485
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:43.440
comes to games, of course,
just like the regular season, we'll do

486
00:32:43.599 --> 00:32:46.359
stuff, you know, immediately you
know, uh, you know, closet

487
00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:50.160
stuff after the game, right when
it ends, and then maybe after I

488
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:52.559
talk to some people and then you
know, rewrite for the next day and

489
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:57.480
hopefully blush it out a little bit
too. So I envisioned to answer question

490
00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:00.640
basically, you know, hopefully it
should be like, you know, a

491
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:05.240
twelve hour kind of span every day
when when hopefully we'll be posting stuff.

492
00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:07.680
And that goes for photos into days
as well. So I wanted to squeeze

493
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:10.640
in this question to Tommy yesterday and
didn't get a chance. What do you

494
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:15.000
expect to find out about this team
at the you know, at the end

495
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:17.480
of the day, at the end
of this trip. What do you hope

496
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:22.839
that you know then that therefore that
we know about this team. Well,

497
00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:25.920
I mean, you know, there's
there's two pieces to it. I don't

498
00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:30.039
think we can all read. Like
like said, Tommy's concerned. Tommy,

499
00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:35.079
Let's concerned about not reading too much. Indo, I think he probably has

500
00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:40.920
a point there. I don't think
if you know, if caleblod Love takes

501
00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:46.440
half of their shots, that's necessarily
a reason to wonder about how the distribution

502
00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:49.799
is going to because it could be
totally different. They're going to go through

503
00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:52.960
a whole preseason in October where things
are going to be uh, you know,

504
00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:58.680
ironed out and some exhibition games there
and this and that. You know,

505
00:33:58.920 --> 00:34:01.960
But I think mostly just I think
maybe in general, you know,

506
00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:08.039
to see the new guys and where
they're gonna potentially kind of and then I

507
00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:12.159
think for my purpose, you know, what I want to do is get

508
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:15.000
to know guys a little better.
And you know, because as I think

509
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:19.880
we were talking yesterday, just sometimes
you feel like at Arizona because they can't

510
00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:22.719
they have to keep guys from getting
overwhelmed from us, and that's understandable.

511
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:27.320
You don't have that much contact with
and then sometimes it takes a couple of

512
00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:30.599
years to get to get to know
guy like you know, like more Ballo

513
00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:32.639
is it, you know? Or
Tella Larson like now we feel like we

514
00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:36.000
know them, but they've been here
a couple of years, and so maybe

515
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:38.400
that accelerates at least, you know, I'm hoping, you know, maybe

516
00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:44.039
I can actually have a uh,
you know, a conversation with the guy

517
00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:46.960
just just you know, kind of
shooting the bowl or whatever, and and

518
00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:51.840
you know, getting to know them
a little bit about what they you know,

519
00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:53.800
what they're what they're like, and
then that that that tends to make

520
00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:58.320
it easier when you do get two
interviews during the season and you really need

521
00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:00.840
something, you're on deadline. Maybe
they maybe they had a tough game or

522
00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:04.440
whatever. They're real emotional if they
had a great game, they're really emotional

523
00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:07.599
that way, and then they know
you, Okay, you know that's Bruce.

524
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:10.400
You know, I know I can
trust him or whatever, and makes

525
00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:14.880
the interviewing, uh, usually a
lot easier when you have a little bit

526
00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:19.440
of a relationship with these these guys. So selfishly, I guess I'm looking

527
00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:22.800
for that, but also to see
what the team is like on the court.

528
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:25.760
And then you know, I think
secondarily it'd be interesting to see,

529
00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:29.519
honestly, who picks up on all
this cultural stuff, you know, Like

530
00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:32.719
I mean, we saw yesterday Tommy
Lloyd is completely fired about this. He's

531
00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:37.320
out of his mind excited about it. You can't wait to Bob and the

532
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:40.199
Dead Sea can't wait to to you
know, see some of these places.

533
00:35:40.360 --> 00:35:44.079
He was saying, you know,
he's telling us about this maybe of David,

534
00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:46.360
and he says, you know,
David's versus Goliath. Is that David,

535
00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:51.760
you know, like I mean,
he loves this stuff. And it'll

536
00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:53.119
be interesting to see how many of
the guys kind of if that rubs off

537
00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:57.360
on these guys, and who in
particular, you know, takes a look

538
00:35:57.440 --> 00:36:00.760
into it. Because they're basketball guys, they have to be very focused since

539
00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:04.159
as you guys know, you know
a lot of college basketball players are.

540
00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:07.760
You know, they're pretty focused on
playing basketball and maybe you know, maybe

541
00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:09.679
video games and a couple of things
here there, And we'll see if it's

542
00:36:09.719 --> 00:36:14.159
open drives us, you know a
little bit. Well, good to hear

543
00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:16.199
about this. I'll be safe.
I also think that you said you might

544
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:20.639
be available to us. It's a
ten hour difference. They're ahead of us,

545
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:24.280
so we might get you at some
point along the way one of these

546
00:36:24.360 --> 00:36:29.199
days, right in the next coming
a couple of weeks. Yeah, yeah,

547
00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:32.920
that would be great. I envisioned
mostly the evening being just working and

548
00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:37.039
you know, and doing stuff,
and if you guys are on, it'll

549
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:39.639
be pretty early in the morning.
But I don't anticipate ably sleeping a whole

550
00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:43.199
lot either, So let's let's see
if we can do it. Okay,

551
00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:47.079
great, Thanks a bunch of safe
travel, buddy, Thanks appreciated. Take

552
00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:52.000
care. Bruce Pascoe very mellow Yep. It's a perfect guy for this trip,

553
00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:57.440
right one. He loves to travel
and he'll do the work. Dude.

554
00:36:57.440 --> 00:37:00.599
If I were traveling, I'll be
with him. I'd say where we're

555
00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:01.840
going, now, where we're going? Now, where's my GPS? Tell

556
00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:07.199
me? I hate not knowing where
I'm going. We need to because custom

557
00:37:09.079 --> 00:37:12.840
I have a great Wilder story.
All right, we'll get to that.

558
00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:14.960

one a lot of fun and then
the other one was Greece. First of

619
00:41:29.000 --> 00:41:30.800
all, getting to Australia. Holy
hell, how long did that day?

620
00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:34.960
It took fourteen some hours? Fourteen
some hours. The good thing is I

621
00:41:35.079 --> 00:41:37.440
was not alone when I was with
a bunch of you say, today reporters.

622
00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:42.840
So some friends, colleagues got there
ten days in and this eighteen hour

623
00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:45.199
days, right, they're eighteen hour
days, and you're thinking, God,

624
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:49.320
what am I doing? You're taking
busses two events and I'm thinking ten days,

625
00:41:49.639 --> 00:41:52.800
I'm never ever gonna do this again, Little Sleep. You're in a

626
00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:59.159
foign land and great people obviously,
but you're you're exhausted, You're you're tired,

627
00:41:59.239 --> 00:42:00.920
you're busy, all this stuff,
and you say, I'll never do

628
00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:04.239
it again. And then when it's
over, Jay, I kind of get

629
00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:06.880
everything else. You think, God, I hope they invite me back.

630
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:10.159
Yeah. Yeah, it's just Climber's
remorse. Halfway up, he says,

631
00:42:10.199 --> 00:42:14.000
I am doing What am I doing
here? You get there and you say,

632
00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:16.079
God, was that exciting? And
it was. It's just it's just

633
00:42:16.199 --> 00:42:20.280
a month of being away from your
family and all that stuff, and you

634
00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:22.079
come back and now, in that
situation, did you get to go out

635
00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:24.880
and see some stuff? Oh?
Yeah, yeah, there's and there's stuff

636
00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:29.320
because they have the media headquarters.
And then at the end of the day,

637
00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:31.920
the media ends up at the hotel
or whatever, and it's just a

638
00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:36.039
just a bunch of drinking and stories
of the day, and then you do

639
00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:37.480
it again, do it again this
day. It's a lot of fun on.

640
00:42:37.599 --> 00:42:42.400
Australia is a great place. Greece
was a fantastic place. Grease reminded

641
00:42:42.400 --> 00:42:46.079
me a lot of Tucson, and
it was hot. Kendrea played, Kendrea

642
00:42:46.199 --> 00:42:50.960
won his gold medal day. It
was fantastic story. So a lot of

643
00:42:51.079 --> 00:42:55.199
fun stuff. Let me let me
tell you this quick story about there so

644
00:42:55.559 --> 00:43:00.119
and I know that Greg would would
verify this. So we we go to

645
00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:01.360
Stanford, right, We go to
Stanford and we stayed at the Sheraton.

646
00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:06.079
You stayed at the Sheraton right there
on Paulo Alto and we all check in.

647
00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:09.000
He checks in the way before,
he's already there and he's having trouble

648
00:43:09.079 --> 00:43:12.639
with the hotel. So you know
what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna call

649
00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:15.960
So he calls in, calls in
to Sherton. Yeah, could you connect

650
00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:19.320
me to John Wilner's room. This
is John Wilner asking for John Wilder.

651
00:43:19.559 --> 00:43:21.960
Oh, I'm sorry, but he
hasn't checked in. What do you mean

652
00:43:22.039 --> 00:43:23.239
to tell me? I'm John Wilner. I checked in, and I know

653
00:43:23.360 --> 00:43:31.920
I'm there because John doesn't sound like
anything would do because he's he wanted to

654
00:43:31.960 --> 00:43:35.119
say, these guys, I'm getting
confident. I want to call it.

655
00:43:35.159 --> 00:43:36.760
I want to check in. I
want to call it. And I said,

656
00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:38.400
I'm sorry, John's not here right
now. John's not in. What

657
00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:43.440
do you mean I'm checked in?
It out? Funny, Oh my god,

658
00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:46.039
those two guys. Well I got
to travel with those two guys for

659
00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:50.079
a little while, which which is
fun my kind of one of my favorite

660
00:43:50.119 --> 00:43:52.960
road trip stories was this is now, this is the first year I'm covering

661
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:57.599
I'm covering basketball. So my one
of my first travels, and so we

662
00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:00.719
go to play Georgia, as one
goes to play Georgetown. So we go

663
00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:05.480
to DC and they went a day
early, so the game was on Saturday.

664
00:44:05.480 --> 00:44:07.719
They went a day early so that
on Friday they could go to They

665
00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:13.480
got invited to over the White House
through the Congressional delegation. So Steve Condon,

666
00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:15.679
who was the trainer, You remember
Steve. He was the guy who

667
00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:19.280
would do the travel plans and the
way they did it back in the day.

668
00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:21.960
They didn't do it now. They'd
make all their travel plants and then

669
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:23.559
they just send them to us,
and then I just turned that over to

670
00:44:23.639 --> 00:44:27.199
our travel agent. I'd get the
same flight, at the same hotel,

671
00:44:27.320 --> 00:44:30.679
the whole bit. So basically we
traveled together. So we get to DC,

672
00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:36.599
you know, we landed at the
Reagan Airport. We get and we're

673
00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:38.840
there. We go to this Marriott. Now, there were two Marriotts that

674
00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:42.519
had kind of had the same name. One was the twin Bridge Marriott,

675
00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:45.800
one was the key Bridge Marriott,
and I remember which was which. But

676
00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:49.320
we go to one and it's one
of those. It's it's one of those

677
00:44:50.039 --> 00:44:58.119
basically a motel that okay, okay, I'll hold that higher on the air

678
00:44:58.199 --> 00:45:00.079
and I on the mall. How's
it on today? What's our ban?

679
00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:05.920
I'm just kind of happy that all
this is over. We're all happy it's

680
00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:08.800
over, you know. I mean, it's just that it's unfortunately, it's

681
00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:15.119
really no choice, just consumed.
The town has consumed everything, taking away

682
00:45:15.199 --> 00:45:19.920
from what football is doing right now, you know which, yeah, you

683
00:45:19.920 --> 00:45:22.760
know, to me, it's more
of a major thing right now. We

684
00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:27.519
still have to remember we have a
poll, another full season of PAC twelve

685
00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:30.559
sports, right, we do.
We're doing that the deal, And that

686
00:45:30.679 --> 00:45:32.679
was Tommy's point yesterday. He said, we got to take care of business

687
00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:36.039
this year. I'm not even thinking
about it right now, and we know

688
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:38.559
he's thinking about it, but he
says he's not because they got they gotta

689
00:45:38.559 --> 00:45:40.719
do this. We'll think about it, you know when the season's over with,

690
00:45:42.679 --> 00:45:45.960
right right, you know, And
I just think it's you know that

691
00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:49.400
people just you know, we all
knew what was going to happen. Yeah,

692
00:45:49.679 --> 00:45:52.760
this is not a surprise. And
then and then it was sealed when

693
00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:57.760
Washington and Oregon decided to leave,
right but you know, I really felt

694
00:45:57.800 --> 00:46:01.960
that even if Washington and Oregon didn't
leave, with the amount of money involved

695
00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:07.360
in this Apple thing, we still
would have left. Did you I asked

696
00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:09.639
you this. I asked you this
about half our go. Did the end

697
00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:14.599
result in how things played out match
the hype that eventually happened? You know?

698
00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:17.800
Are you were? You? Were
you less surprised? Were you disappointed?

699
00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:22.719
I wasn't surprised at all, you
know, because I really felt from

700
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:28.920
the beginning or USC and UCLA left
last year, the conference was due Yeah,

701
00:46:29.079 --> 00:46:30.760
no, I think we all thought
that whether the teams were great that

702
00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:36.719
left didn't matter. It was the
names that left. Yeah. No,

703
00:46:36.920 --> 00:46:39.599
you're correct, You're correct. You
know, I mean, neither one of

704
00:46:39.679 --> 00:46:45.280
those teams have been that terrific in
football lately. Yeah, USC was getting

705
00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:46.920
better, but they weren't. They
hadn't want to when they was the last

706
00:46:46.960 --> 00:46:51.719
time they won the league, right, right, Bryan? How many games

707
00:46:51.760 --> 00:47:00.920
are gonna win? Uh? Six
overall total or regular season? All right?

708
00:47:01.239 --> 00:47:06.519
Yeah, okay, we're good with
that. All right, man,

709
00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:10.559
Okay, Bran, thanks so much. Cool talk you later. All right.

710
00:47:10.599 --> 00:47:13.800
So to finish the story, so
there was these two Marriots. So

711
00:47:13.800 --> 00:47:15.079
we go to this Marriott and we
get there and it's one of those one

712
00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:21.280
of those hotels where you go into
your room from the outside balcony, and

713
00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:23.159
so, you know, the team
got all checked in, right, and

714
00:47:23.239 --> 00:47:25.519
then I, you know, I'm
obviously in the line after them, so

715
00:47:25.519 --> 00:47:29.079
I check it. I don't even
get to my room. I get to

716
00:47:29.159 --> 00:47:31.960
my room and opened the door and
the phone is ringing and it's Tom Duddleston,

717
00:47:32.119 --> 00:47:35.559
who said, I guess I hope
I can tell this story now.

718
00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:38.639
He said, don't unpack your bags
because there's no way Bobby Olson has stayed

719
00:47:38.719 --> 00:47:45.920
here and Condon had booked the wrong. He got mixed up in terms of

720
00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:49.599
which. And so we went to
the other bridge, Marriott, and it

721
00:47:49.719 --> 00:47:53.199
was this high rise on the Potomac
across the bridge from the Lincoln Memorial.

722
00:47:53.239 --> 00:47:58.880
You can see it. Total sense, but just the way he said,

723
00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:02.159
he said, Bobby's not staying here. I go into my room and like

724
00:48:02.280 --> 00:48:07.639
the toilet ball is cracked. Well, come on along those lines. We

725
00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:13.920
both covered Coach Cheese right, Coach
Chiefe, and we stayed in the and

726
00:48:14.039 --> 00:48:16.239
the other ones that were not as
the scary one, the scary place,

727
00:48:16.599 --> 00:48:21.159
Oh man, man, those are
not fun. I did one camp Coach

728
00:48:21.239 --> 00:48:24.079
Cheese and I like you, you
know, the part of my parking spot

729
00:48:24.199 --> 00:48:28.880
was up against the prison wall.
It was a prison right next to the

730
00:48:29.039 --> 00:48:32.320
motel stace. I mean literally rock
and hit a parking lot and then there's

731
00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:37.440
a wall and that's the prison wall
with with the barbed wire on top.

732
00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:42.440
I mean you can lean against the
against the prison wall. And I remember

733
00:48:42.519 --> 00:48:45.320
going to but it was still something
you love to do. Yeah, I

734
00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:49.800
mean to this day, I cherished
that the fund that we had a camp

735
00:48:49.840 --> 00:48:52.199
coaches because after we all file our
stories, there was a bar that we

736
00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:55.599
go shoot pool and bs so you
know bs, and then do it again

737
00:48:55.639 --> 00:49:00.760
the next day, right right.
I swear Bud Henry had but Butch Henry

738
00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:06.320
had the uh, the numbers to
the jukebox for all the Way and Jenny

739
00:49:06.320 --> 00:49:09.519
and music and you know the country
music songs. He just could blame them

740
00:49:09.599 --> 00:49:14.000
over and over and over. The
eventually they did away with it. Yeah,

741
00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:17.119
it was down to Coaches College Douglas. That's why they called it Camp

742
00:49:17.159 --> 00:49:20.719
Coach Cheese. Muggy. It was
just a getaway, but it was muggy.

743
00:49:20.920 --> 00:49:22.360
Mike Stups was the one who stopped
going there. But I even think

744
00:49:22.400 --> 00:49:25.079
they they went there once, right, a couple of times. Yeah,

745
00:49:25.199 --> 00:49:28.840
yeah, yeah, they took army
people. Remember they had the stuff.

746
00:49:28.920 --> 00:49:31.960
Yea. Another caller, Hi,
you're on there and I on the ball.

747
00:49:34.039 --> 00:49:36.320
Hey, I just wanted to tell
me about the Camp Coach Cheese.

748
00:49:36.519 --> 00:49:39.000
So my family from Douglas, Arizona, and I remember as a kid,

749
00:49:39.039 --> 00:49:45.039
Adam McDonald's right there adjacent. I
think it was even closer than the Motel

750
00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:49.239
six for the prison. So you
get out the outside of the playground in

751
00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:52.480
the end of seeing all these prosenters
on the balcony. I guess it was

752
00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:55.119
a dui prison, so it was
less you know of a scary area.

753
00:49:55.360 --> 00:50:00.280
Yeah, yeah, little story,
Yeah, no it was you Did you

754
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:01.840
ever get a chance to go down
there watching practice or anything like that?

755
00:50:02.760 --> 00:50:07.119
Yeah? Yeah, very cool.
I mean it was great, it was,

756
00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:08.800
And it was a great venue you
know there, you know, all

757
00:50:08.840 --> 00:50:13.599
the all the you know, with
a number of fields, and they would

758
00:50:13.599 --> 00:50:15.519
stay in the dorms there, and
you know, the motel wasn't really that

759
00:50:15.599 --> 00:50:20.360
far from the from the campus.
No, she had to make sure,

760
00:50:21.639 --> 00:50:23.280
okay, with the name of the
bar that we're talking about, was there

761
00:50:23.320 --> 00:50:27.719
a plate? Was it Dawsons?
Was that the name of the bar downtown?

762
00:50:29.079 --> 00:50:37.559
Downtown? Yeah, at the Gatson
Hotel that yeah, okay, yeah,

763
00:50:37.679 --> 00:50:40.000
yeah guess And I stayed there before. Oh man, that's scared of

764
00:50:40.039 --> 00:50:46.519
crast. I think the elevators didn't
even work. Yeah, but oh great,

765
00:50:46.920 --> 00:50:50.480
we had a great time. I
think I think we speak fondly of

766
00:50:50.559 --> 00:50:52.800
the place. So hey, thanks
for coling. We appreciate it. So

767
00:50:53.239 --> 00:50:57.440
for my first time, I CoA
Chiefs and this is true story me being

768
00:50:57.480 --> 00:51:00.679
twenty three, twenty four years old, so we'd go and have our trades,

769
00:51:00.719 --> 00:51:02.800
you know, the little lunch trades
with the compartments. So we'd go

770
00:51:02.920 --> 00:51:05.800
and you know, eat and blah
blah blah, and then we'd have a

771
00:51:05.880 --> 00:51:09.719
chance that dicto with interview blah blah
blah. So we ate and this must

772
00:51:09.760 --> 00:51:14.440
have been the first day. So
we finish and I'm kind of looking around.

773
00:51:14.519 --> 00:51:16.679
I'm thinking seeing trays around, I'm
thinking, okay, so I get

774
00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:21.039
up and I leave my trader.
Steve, is your mom here with you?

775
00:51:22.519 --> 00:51:24.840
This is no no, coach,
that means you put your tray away

776
00:51:24.880 --> 00:51:30.519

I'm sorry, I'm sorry because you remember

777
00:51:30.519 --> 00:51:32.639

Yeah yeah, yeah, it was. It was the lunch room.

779
00:51:35.400 --> 00:51:37.559
And that was a time that you
get to sit on with the coaches and

780
00:51:37.679 --> 00:51:40.679
running and just talk about stuff and
just just it was great. I mean,

781
00:51:42.159 --> 00:51:45.840
the incredible access to that and uh, you know, there's there's a

782
00:51:45.920 --> 00:51:51.159
picture somewhere that remember one of the
photographers, I probably a star photographer where

783
00:51:51.280 --> 00:51:54.840
for some reason the year that I
went, guys didn't the reporters didn't take

784
00:51:54.920 --> 00:51:59.360
