yeah, that was scared the crap.

25
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.920
I didn't know that was on TV. And I hate those the worst.

26
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:51.760
I mean, I know that that's
the idea, right, they're supposed to

27
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:53.480
get your attention, But you know, I'm sitting there, I'm I'm in

28
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:59.040
the zone. Right. What did
they say in in in in face in

29
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:01.640
the Facebook movie Social Network? They
say, he's you know, the guys

30
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:07.519
are you know there's there's a word
something in the zone or zeroed in or

31
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.560
or something like that. But I
was, you know, I mean,

32
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:15.439
I'm I'm I'm hammering the keyboard on
my on my project I was doing today

33
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:17.199
and that thing came on and I
came out of my shoes. I was,

34
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:21.560
I was working on something too,
and then I couldn't thought it was

35
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.639
just a number of load yea,
thought you had lost my anytime those things

36
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:28.840
come on, though, I'd come
out of my shoes. So anyways,

37
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:30.240
all right, okay, so back
to where we were. Yeah, yeah,

38
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:34.800
so a good show with Fader in
the first hour, and then well,

39
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.639
good show the details when they come
on. Okay, what else is

40
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:39.919
going on? Guys? And there's
another game just finished? Right? Playoffs

41
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:45.759
are as we mentioned yesterday, the
playoffs underway, and the Tampa Bay Rays

42
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:49.759
are out already. I mean they're
they're I mean the playoffs are still warming

43
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:53.199
up and they're gone. These are
best two out of three series. The

44
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:57.319
Rays were at home taking on the
Rangers. The Rangers smacked them twice in

45
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:01.439
a row. Sure, yeah,
and so they're up the Blue the Razor

46
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:07.560
out game two of the of another
series. The Twins leaded one zip and

47
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:09.639
they're they're winning to nothing. They
they won the first game, yessay,

48
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:14.240
so they can they can move on
to the divisional series. Surprised about your

49
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:19.039
diamond back, I was, I
was, are you like very excited.

50
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.680
I am, I'm homely, I'm
part of my breaking news today. Okay,

51
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:24.680
how much of okay, how much
of a Diamondbacks fan are you?

52
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:28.639
Like? Are you like bleed the
whole thing? Yeah? You don't even

53
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:30.759
know how color to bleed there,
you know, if you bleed purple,

54
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:35.000
we're supposed to bleed red. I
grew up with it purple, like young

55
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.960
young when we just won the World
Series. Those are the best uniforms we've

56
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:43.080
ever seen, the best uniform with
the shorts, purple sleeves. We love

57
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.280
that. When we bring those back, it's we bring them back every once

58
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.599
in a while, and they're fantastic. But I would say I'm a I'm

59
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.039
a diehard. So you were born
as a Diamondback fan? Yeah? The

60
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.319
last playoff game the Diamondbacks one I
was at, Yeah, the wild Card

61
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:59.840
when Archie Bradley hit the triple.
I was at that game with my dad

62
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:01.919
and brother, and then we got
swept by the Dodgers next, of course,

63
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.639
but hey, I think it should
be I think if we win tonight,

64
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:09.120
this is a big game for the
Diamondbacks. We win tonight, then

65
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:14.039
we can have Merroel Kelly pitch Game
one against the Dodgers, and the Dodgers,

66
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:16.319
you know, aren't the same.
They're not that. No. I

67
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:20.800
mean, I fully expect them to
at least get to the National League Championship

68
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:25.040
Series, all right, But I
don't know how they get past the Braves.

69
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:30.000
I don't know how anybody gets past
exactly, I think Vegas or even

70
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.480
just the eye test lineup. Wise, they should be the favorite to win

71
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.519
the World Series this year, and
it shouldn't even be close in the opinion,

72
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:42.240
right, But it's kind of the
Arizona Diamonbacks and Dodgers are kind of

73
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:46.160
this big brother little brother thing,
and the Diamondbacks have been the little brother

74
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.319
for their existence against the Dodgers more. But that's I mean, that's okay

75
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:53.040
because the Dodge has been around for
sure a thousand years. But yeah,

76
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:55.720
but cool, Well, look,
you grew up a Diamondbacks fan. Appreciate

77
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:59.120
the fact that you know, you
stay, you stay true to them,

78
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:01.720
and then up and take your ass
kick. Didn't That's and that's that's the

79
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:05.199
that's the epitome of Arizona sports.
You love them, you love them just

80
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:09.639
like just like the Sons. And
then they tell you championship and then the

81
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.000
Bucks just crush you. Yeah,
they do. You're the Cardinals fan and

82
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.759
you go to the Rams and they
crush you, and you just just you

83
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.240
just know it's coming, but you
don't know necessarily win. And when it

84
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:23.160
is, then it's expected. Yeah
yeah, so all right, okay,

85
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:26.279
well cool, so no good,
we'll see you know. I I'd love

86
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:29.399
to see it. Well, the
Diamonbacks win, that's they'll play. I

87
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.000
mean, that's the brackets set up
for that. That'll be. My sister's

88
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:33.680
a huge Diamondbacks fan. Okay,
but that was just because she likes Steve

89
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:38.439
Finley's but for a long time,
Stephen Lee a great baseball player too.

90
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:43.000
And what's funny is Craig Counsel,
the manager for the Brewers, who the

91
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.600
Dbacks are playing, is it somewhat
of a Diamondback icon. He has the

92
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:50.879
really weird batting stance and all those
Diamondback fans know exactly. Yeah, it's

93
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:56.120
it's a picture, and so it's, uh, it's funny that his old

94
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:59.279
team is giving it to him.
Right now. Yeah, that game will

95
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.959
start at the top of the hour, so we'll give some updates a second.

96
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:05.759
All right, sounds good, okay, Steve, I almost crying with

97
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:13.399
you guys talking about Steve was a
Red fan for a while for a while,

98
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.480
and I'm not a sports that anymore. He's not a he has he's

99
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:21.399
not a fan of any teams anymore. No teams. I like my Sundays.

100
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:25.199
I like to sleep Monday morning.
I don't have to worry about who

101
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:31.600
won, who lost. That's unbelievable. I just don't doesn't doesn't. I've

102
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.600
been in this business a long time, like a long time. I've been

103
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:40.839
jaded totally. And guess what you're
supposed to do as a journalist focus keep

104
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:43.319
it for I didn't go to you
of a I don't have any you know,

105
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:45.720
I will against you. If they
win, they win, if they

106
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.040
lose, they lose. I have
no I don't care. It's one of

107
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:50.240
the reasons he got out of it. He got out of it, right,

108
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:53.519
Yes, because I wanted to be
a fan. I wanted to be

109
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.240
a fan of teams, you know, I see that's that's I don't know

110
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.000
what Steve has been doing this so
long. He's like a big turtle with

111
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.279
a shell that you can't penetrate.
He's just like, I'm just gonna be

112
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:08.480
this big nothing fan of he likes
sports, okay obviously because he does what

113
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:12.279
he does, but he's not a
fan of any sports. I think in

114
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.240
today you can rebuttal all all you
want on this, but I think more

115
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:20.399
and more you're obviously you're not allowed
or shouldn't be a fan when you're a

116
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:25.120
sports journalist. But I think you
see more and more people are adopting that,

117
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:28.240
whether that's all the guys, the
other guys that we deal with on

118
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:30.439
a daily basis, you know,
the the Mike Luke's and the Shears and

119
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:33.600
the Peterson's and all those guys,
they're all fans. We I sat next

120
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:36.519
to if you grew and there were
the kids going to school, it was

121
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:41.560
like it was like, oh,
I'm like, guys, you're not supposed

122
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:43.600
to be doing that. And I
didn't say anything. You can see who

123
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.800
am I I don't care what they
do, but it's it doesn't one look

124
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.199
good and it's not part of the
profession. You know what I'm saying.

125
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:54.480
You're just not supposed to. And
I'm one hundred years old, so you

126
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:56.519
know, what does it matter to
me for you? I get it.

127
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.839
You're a student, you can have
but eventually, yeah, when you're when

128
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:03.759
you're fifty five or whatever, You're
gonna see that, Rivera. He was

129
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:07.279
pretty accurate. You know, I
could give a crap if I go to

130
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.040
the game today, you know.
Yeah, I think it's one thing to

131
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:13.959
be a fan of a team and
express that in your work, as opposed

132
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:20.360
to they won't allow it, exactly
as you used to you you weren't allowed

133
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:22.199
to do that. Yeah, and
I think you see, I mean,

134
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.680
I'm a ESPN watcher, I'm a
Fox all all this time and the other

135
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:30.079
And I think the guys that do
that, they do a good job of

136
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:33.240
letting people know who they root for
outside of work, right. I think

137
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:35.440
that's one thing, you know,
and you can do that, you know,

138
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.759
like like you know, you see
these guys like Scott Van Pelt and

139
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:43.960
Steve they've all got their favorite team, right, But when you see them

140
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:48.799
on the job, when Van Pelt
is doing Sports Center or you know,

141
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:50.759
when whoever, you know, when
they're doing their show or whatever that is,

142
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:54.919
they have to keep that out of
it. And the good ones do

143
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.639
yes, right. You know,
Mike Greenberg famously, you know a Jets

144
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:05.679
fan. Uh, I think he's
a greene is. I know he's a

145
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:11.240
Jets fan. I don't know who's
who he's a fan of in baseball.

146
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:15.039
It wasn't New York. It's either
the Mets or the Yeah, but you

147
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:16.480
know, but he's a he's a
huge Jets fan, and so he would,

148
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.759
you know, openly say that.
But you know, as a as

149
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:24.600
a uh an anchor or whatever,
you didn't know that, right, And

150
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:26.120
that was the thing, you know. I mean, I was a huge

151
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:31.039
Arizona fan when I was covering Arizona
basketball Arizona football, but I worked hard

152
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.080
and it was hard for me to
do that to keep that out of it,

153
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:37.559
right. I mean, I was
excited as all hell when Arizona got

154
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:39.279
to the Final four and eighty eight. I mean I really partly because I

155
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.679
really wanted to cover Final four,
but I was excited for the school.

156
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.080
But when I wrote the story,
I had to be work real hard to

157
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:50.200
not to not let that jump into
it. And for me, I don't

158
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.519
have to work hard. Yeah,
he just doesn't deal with it because it's

159
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:56.000
one thing for you and I to
sit here and talk about the game on

160
00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:00.759
Saturday and say how we think Arizona
might have a chance. But that's just

161
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:05.039
because we're just a little right,
We get to do that in exactly and

162
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:11.279
that's part of That's why I tried. That's show. I bring it back

163
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:15.080
to reality. By the way,
Steve around the table today, the whole

164
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:18.080
bunch of us Arizona's got a shot
a butcher. You would you have Margarita's

165
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:24.159
for lunch, No chilcohol at the
table at all. A bunch of bias

166
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.320
you of a fans sitting at lunch
talking about the game. I'll bet them

167
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:33.480
to fourteen points. They all said
I was stupid for fourteen I gave him.

168
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:35.600
Well, because then you're on the
show saying how I think Arizona can

169
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.600
win the game. So he I, you know again, I'm playing with

170
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:41.960
house money. We're going double or
nothing on it debt, right, So

171
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.840
he said no, he came in
more positive than that. I really think

172
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.519
that they have a good chance to
win this game. Will they? I'm

173
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.679
not sure, he said, but
I think they have a good Okay,

174
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:52.159
I'll give you four I'll give you
guess that. I think they have a

175
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.720
better chance than they had against Washington, So I'll giveing him fourteen points.

176
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.720
I think it's tough because it's going
to be in California, being home against

177
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:03.799
Washingington. I do think you get
a couple more points. Yeah, like

178
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:07.960
against the spread, I guess.
But the it's the over should be said

179
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.279
at like seventy points because nobody's gonna
be able to stop anybody. Well see,

180
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:15.159
And that's the thing I disagree with
that. I think Arizona will be

181
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:22.200
I think Arizona will be able to
keep Caleb USC under forty and then under

182
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.519
forty. Arizona's not scoring thirty.
Dude, we could get eleven guys together

183
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:31.080
and score forty against USC. No, he could. USC would give up

184
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:35.320
forty in our in our Turkey Bowl. Absolutely. And that's why I say

185
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.879
Arizona's got a shot is because they
are going to be able to score.

186
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.440
They're gonna come out, They're gonna
score. Look, and I think we

187
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:43.799
talked about I know, we gotta
go talk about this a little bit.

188
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.639
I think the fact that Jadene de
Laura spent last game on the sidelines,

189
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:50.320
if he plays this week, I
expect to see a better version of him

190
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:54.960
than we've been seeing all season long. Interesting, Okay, he says that

191
00:11:54.360 --> 00:12:00.960
he hasn't picked anything right. Oh
yeah, your honor about don't take our

192
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:05.879
spread? I had Morgan to state
last week. He's three and thirty.

193
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:07.399
I think whatever it is all right. Let's say, let's take our break.

194
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:11.879
Who do you got Mike Fader coming
in right, we'll talk Mexican baseball.

00:19:55.279 --> 00:20:00.759
that's a good one, Corona,
especially your aches. So you excited

298
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:06.400
you know? Wait, wait,
you better say model medello for sure?

299
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:10.799
Yeah, but medello is Spanish?
Is medello in English? Is medello?

300
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:17.119
Yeah? Okay, all right,
Okay, so no I excited. I'm

301
00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:23.079
not sure excited it's a good word. I am anxious. Yeah, I

302
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:33.039
am crazed. Yeah, I am
ready for it to be over. This

303
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:37.799
is the third stop already. How
many stops have you had? Three?

304
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:41.759
Yeah? Maryvale, Mesa and here. Okay, you didn't go to Vegas?

305
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:44.279
Are you going to Vegas? No, we didn't going to Vegas this

306
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:48.680
year because it was in the middle
of their minor league season. I'm sure

307
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.680
you guys know, but Major League
Baseball has dictated to Minor League Baseball the

308
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:57.559
Triple A teams go to the end
of September now, and so it just

309
00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:02.000
boxed us out of any dates we
want to do. Okay, all right,

310
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:04.480
all right, so you guys get
started tomorrow. Uh, you've got

311
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:10.680
you've got a couple of games tomorrow
over to going in Navajaa, Navahoa famous

312
00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:15.799
for Fernando Valanzuela from being from there
right then and the Wildcats. So first,

313
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:18.839
how do things get going? Uh? What's it looked like for tomorrow?

314
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:23.880
Uh? Well, I was talking
to somebody over at the complex.

315
00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:29.640
To me, the best thing that
I saw is looking at my weather app

316
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:36.119
and seeing all yellow balls, uh
for the next four days. Yeah.

317
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:40.960
Yeah, So you know, if
you remember last year at lightning delays and

318
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:45.039
people that will leave the stadium and
it was crazy. So uh, the

319
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:51.000
weather looks great. Uh. You
know, Chip Hale's excited. Uh.

320
00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:55.119
You know Breck Gleason, who you
guys know, is Ke's sending me credential

321
00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:59.160
requests because people want to come out
here. Uh. And you know,

322
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:04.039
I think you know, Thursday of
the four days, Thursday is the smallest,

323
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:10.640
Okay. So if anybody's listening and
be worried about tickets, don't worry

324
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:14.759
about tomorrow. Tomorrow, you'll be
fine. We'll probably have three four thousand

325
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:18.440
people, okay. Uh, and
then and then it builds. So Friday

326
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:22.960
we have in the release, I
said, we now have added fireworks,

327
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:26.960
which we've never done. That's gonna
be between games as a doubleheader. On

328
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:33.359
Friday, we also have Advantage West
Family special at the branches. Uh.

329
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:37.279
And then Ammalcio overgone. I mean
that's that's the rivalry. Yeah, so

330
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:44.759
they're back back on Friday and Saturday. Saturday is is just a great day

331
00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:48.559
and it's you know, we'll have
five six thousand people. Uh, and

332
00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:52.640
it's because of the rivalry and because
people come up from Mexico, right.

333
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:56.480
Uh, so that works out really
well. And then Sunday, unfortunately,

334
00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:00.039
you guys have heard me talk about
Labresia too much. H. Well,

335
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:07.079
they're not coming. Well. Uh, there was some work visa issues and

336
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:12.319
so we didn't have them in Masa
last Sunday either. But the band that

337
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:19.160
came in Contacto Norte. There was
nobody complaining about not having Lebresa because I

338
00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:25.480
guess this band has played at Chase
Field on Hispanic Heritage Day. They're a

339
00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:30.920
huge band out of Sonora, out
of airmo Ceo, and they're more of

340
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:34.559
a younger crowd. Uh, you
know, old farts like me. Uh

341
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:40.599
probably like Lebrisa a little better.
But we've also had Labresa four straight years.

342
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:44.599
So people are ready for a change, and we believe that this band

343
00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:47.079
is going to really present a great
product. So Jay, I might have

344
00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:48.640
asked you this before. Have you
been to these things? Yeah? I

345
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:52.680
had my first one that I went
to. I was saying this, this

346
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:55.519
is what they do. Yeah,
it's a party. It's a blast.

347
00:23:55.559 --> 00:24:00.160
It's a party in the look and
I will tell you nothing like a shameless

348
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:07.039
plug, but launching Gatta from downtown, it's handling our music. And if

349
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:11.279
you look at the release, you
guys, I should have it. We're

350
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:15.400
bringing in a lot more bands this
year for during the week. Uh.

351
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:19.440
And and I think that's there's a
band on Saturday that I can't remember their

352
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:25.559
name, but they're supposed to be
really good as well. Uh. And

353
00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:29.400
that you said it, I mean
that's part of who we are. Uh.

354
00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:33.839
It's it's the it's the music,
it's the food, it's the it's

355
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:40.359
the atmosphere. Uh. The music
we play in the press box is played

356
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:44.240
the same it's the music that they
play at the games in airmo Ceo.

357
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:48.559
It's the same guy that plays it
up there plays it here. The PA

358
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:55.720
announcer from aermo Ceo is the PA
announcer here. So the most important thing

359
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:57.880
for us is that it's toughetic.
But well, when you this is your

360
00:24:57.880 --> 00:25:00.400
twelfth Daniels. So when you guys, when you say you've been here twelve

361
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:04.079
years, I mean it's a tradition. Now, it's a you can even

362
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:07.079
call it a classic, right,
I mean, you guys are here every

363
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.200
year. It's something that is uh, it's exciting. You know a lot

364
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:14.960
of fans get out to it.
And then like I said, it's the

365
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.519
food, man, I'm there for
the food. I know that. But

366
00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:23.599
I could see that looking at you, just something like but you guys,

367
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:26.160
you know, you guys have been
doing this, but not only doing it

368
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:29.799
for a long time, but doing
it well so that people keep coming.

369
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.599
Oh thank you, and I appreciate
that, and that it is a tradition.

370
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:40.240
I mean it's probably the largest Hispanic
sporting event in the calendar year.

371
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:44.319
Yeah. Uh you know, so
that's a statement. Yeah, I mean,

372
00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:47.200
you know people could say SC two
sign, Well they don't. It's

373
00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:49.319
not the same as as the amount
of people we draw for our four days,

374
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:52.480
right. You know, we hope, we hope they do well,

375
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:57.119
but it's just you know, people
look forward to it I mean, and

376
00:25:57.200 --> 00:26:02.880
they so many people, and you
guys have both been here. There's people

377
00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:06.480
that don't even sit in their seats, that just hang out in the concourse,

378
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:10.319
talk to their friends, listen to
music and dance. You know what,

379
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:11.440
if that's what they want to do, that's fine with me. You

380
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:15.839
know, you mentioned this thing with
the band, any any other new challenges

381
00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:18.960
this year or things that you tried
to do different you know, based on

382
00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:22.319
you know, feedback and stuff like
that. I mean, what you know,

383
00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:25.720
or do you just kind of have
a formula that you go with.

384
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:30.079
We know we have a formula,
but there's always challenges. I mean,

385
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:33.759
it's you know, dealing with the
venue. It's just sometimes a challenge,

386
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:37.759
right. Uh, you know,
it's just but you know, we we've

387
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:44.039
the ticketing thing we've got handled pretty
well. The concessions I think are good.

388
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:47.720
The sponsorships are good. You know, right now we're actually in the

389
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:52.240
concourse looking where the concourse booths are
going, you know, and people,

390
00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:57.279
you know, people respond very well
to that. But I think the change

391
00:26:57.759 --> 00:27:04.920
of our big act on the Tuesday
before the the start probably is insanity.

392
00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:10.920
Uh but but if anything, it
probably gets us more publicity. Yeah,

393
00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:14.960
I don't think you've talked about the
UA. They play tomorrow night, right

394
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:17.599
more night, tomorrow night. How
big of a deal is that to Chip

395
00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:22.359
into the uh maybe the locals.
Well, it's a big deal to Chip.

396
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:29.480
I've heard Chip will have practices preceding
this where he plays the music really

397
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:33.000
loud and he plays Hispanic music,
Uh, just just to get his players

398
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:38.720
used to it. So so that's
always nice. But Ship Ship knows the

399
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:45.920
value of this because his players get
to play against older professionals. Uh,

400
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:48.839
you know, some guys that have
been around a little. But but the

401
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:56.160
real difference is a college player throws
harder and runs faster. Uh, That's

402
00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:00.240
that's the one thing. But yet
the Mexican teams have had success playing against

403
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:04.039
the u of A. Yeah,
so it's I mean, Schip knows that

404
00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:08.319
this is a great step. You
know, he wants his young players exposed

405
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:14.640
to something different in kind of a
raucous area, and we achieved that.

406
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:18.720
You know, Chip told me that
he's got he's got some young position players,

407
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:22.960
but he's got some veteran pitching.
So and we we actually play nine

408
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:30.000
innings instead of seven, just to
allow they and Aermalcio to run extra countries

409
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:33.200
out there. So tell us a
little bit about the teams, the Mexican

410
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:36.200
teams that have coming here, because
you mentioned em and nobody going are being

411
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:41.440
a are you know, big rivals. Tell us educate us a little bit

412
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:44.839
about these teams that are coming down
here, how they do in their leagues.

413
00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:47.359
You know, they're kind of their
status down there. You know,

414
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:49.960
what are we going to see from
some of these teams. Well, you're

415
00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:55.160
gonna see great baseball. I mean, this is spring training. Always keep

416
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:59.119
that in mind. They're just just
like we have spring training in the States.

417
00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:02.240
They're just four in their teams,
and they want to they want to

418
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:06.640
give different people different opportunities. AMI, looks really good. They've got,

419
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:11.359
uh they've got some good uh players
coming from the States. You know,

420
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:18.359
Alfonso Rivas, he's actually going to
join h the Ammill Seal team on Sunday.

421
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:19.599
Uh. And he's been in the
Big league's a good portion of this

422
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:26.319
season. UH. And so there's
there's a number of guys that former big

423
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:33.160
leaguers, current Triple A players with
some major league time. I mean,

424
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:37.880
each Conn Karates, you know,
third base of the Tampa Bay still plays

425
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:41.480
in this league. UH. And
you know, and so there's there's a

426
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:45.279
number of guys like that. Because
he's from Mexico. I will tell you

427
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:49.680
that the team that you follow,
one of the pitchers that was on that

428
00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:56.720
team this year that's from Mexico will
not be playing here. Okay, do

429
00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:59.680
you want to do you want to
reveal who that is? Had to be

430
00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:04.359
the picture with the glasses, Oh
you're eus. Yeah, I'm mad from

431
00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:08.359
Mexico. I know I'm mad at
him. You even forgot who he was?

432
00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:11.920
Yeah, yeah, he's out of
my mind already. He's gone.

433
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:15.920
He's he's yesterday. And well he
showed me because you're not going to see

434
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:18.839
him in Dodger Blue for a long
time ever. I don't think we'll ever

435
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:22.440
see him in Dodger Blue again.
So did you, by the way,

436
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:26.559
not to change the subject, did
you see Trevor Bauers what he said,

437
00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:32.680
yes, about how it was all
it was? He was set up and

438
00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:37.119
well and now today you're getting people
coming back and saying that Trevor Browers just

439
00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:41.200
flat out line. Well, there's
a second court situation. Yeah, so

440
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:45.599
so you know I would take I
would take the side of the people that

441
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:49.160
say he's lying. Yeah. Yeah, Well, well who's Yeah, who's

442
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:53.160
what you know, where's the big
gain? Right? The gain? Yeah,

443
00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:56.440
he's he's just trying to get his
career back. And we don't know

444
00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:59.279
that, no, right, I
think. But what I heard, I

445
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:02.680
heard he pitch pretty well in Korea. All right, Mike, Well,

446
00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:07.400
so we'll have we'll have decent players
here. Are there names that people in

447
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:14.400
Tucson, No, probably not.
Are there names that people who were familiar

448
00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:17.839
with the teams in Mexico? Without
question? Last night we had a cigar

449
00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:22.480
event. Uh, the largest cigar
company in Mexico was at Charles Stake,

450
00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:29.400
and we had the pitcher who was
the either first or second best picture in

451
00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:33.880
this league. The shortstop was the
best defensive player in this league, in

452
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:36.559
the center field, or who could
play in the big leagues. But they're

453
00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:40.240
all a little older and they and
I don't know if you understand how the

454
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:45.680
posting system works. It's not quite
like Japan. But but if somebody wanted

455
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:48.400
to take a player from Mexico who's
under contract, they have to pay the

456
00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:53.640
team and I heard it could be
as much as two million dollars out well,

457
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:56.759
so we got running out of time. That was a quick one.

458
00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:00.519
Tell us what the wait, wait, tickets, tickets, tickets and all

459
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:07.880
that stuff. He's going, Mike, I can't get no action. Is

460
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:10.599
that you already have that on?
There's not stuff from our from our side,

461
00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:15.160
tickets working to get them. How
much you know stadium or online and

462
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:17.440
Mexican Baseball? Yes, great,
thank you, thank you. Sounds great,

463
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:21.880
Mikey, have fun and we'll we'll
see how it goes. Appreciate it.

464
00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:25.160
Great, Thanks you guys. Yeah, sort that music was coming from

465
00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:28.880

471
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:07.440
at the Ludolsen era in my new
book, Lessons from lut It was a

472
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:10.480
labor of love through the eyes of
twenty five former players, coaches, and

473
00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:15.359
friends to give insight to the coach
and the man who led them, competed

474
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:17.839
against them, and inspired them.
Twenty five chapters for his twenty five years

475
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:22.079
as Arizona's beloved coach. Lessons from
lut is an insight to how he built

the program into a national powerhouse.

I'm gonna try to make it out

540

especially if there's not as many tomorrows
could do and the food lines might not

541
00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:15.719
be as long. Yeah, yeah, no tomorrow if you're if you don't

542
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:19.920
like crowds, Tomorrows plus this year
paid. Yeah, I'd like to see

543
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:22.360
what they get. Right. No, that's a good idea, Jay,

544
00:38:22.599 --> 00:38:24.639
because weekend straight from here. If
you thought you broke a hip last week

545
00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:28.079
dancing, you're gonna probably break a
hip this man. Well, No,

546
00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:30.800
it wasn't the hip. It was
the knees. The knees. The knees

547
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:32.239
have gone bad, you know,
And I'm you know what I'm I mean,

548
00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:35.239
look, I shouldn't even be out
there, right, you know,

549
00:38:35.599 --> 00:38:40.199
it's it's kind of not a good
look. Click before your old fart out

550
00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:46.280
there cutting the rug cutting the rugs. If you have to say that,

551
00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:51.119
yeah, that's too old. Well, you know I used to be I

552
00:38:51.199 --> 00:38:53.920
had fun. We had fun.
He's a great, great wedding back in

553
00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:58.760
the day, one of those kids
that I've known since he was this tall.

554
00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:02.920
Right, I was his te ball
to Elvis. Yeah, exactly,

555
00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:06.639
exactly. All right, Well this
just came across and I you know,

556
00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:08.880
I love getting these little tidbits during
a break because it gives us something,

557
00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:12.599
something interesting to talk about. So
Michael Lev posted, I don't know if

558
00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:15.880
he saw this, he says,
not judging, just putting it out there.

559
00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:20.679
According to Michael Lev, dorian singer
in twenty twenty two at Arizona,

560
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:25.719
sixty six catches eleven hundred and five
yards, six touchdowns. At the current

561
00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:31.920
pace at USC projector over twelve games, twenty nine catches three hundred and seventy

562
00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:37.559
seven yards and seven touchdowns. Okay, so let me say this to you.

563
00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:39.760
Okay, what's the point being that
if he went over there to get

564
00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:45.639
the visibility he needed to get to
get himself into the NFL. That was

565
00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:47.920
a piece of it. He's not
a cheating I don't think he's achieving that

566
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:51.360
well. Okay, so let me
give you this, and I'll use this

567
00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:54.559
example because I'm gonna go the opposite
with you. We know he's very good,

568
00:39:54.639 --> 00:39:58.000
right, you know he's very capable. He would have been great here.

569
00:39:58.199 --> 00:40:00.639
Right, he's very good over there, same guy, same guy,

570
00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:05.679
just less catches. Okay. So, and I use this example all the

571
00:40:05.719 --> 00:40:08.800
time because it makes this point.
So, Richard Jefferson was playing in two

572
00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:15.079
thousand and one with Gilbert and Richard
Gilbert, Gilbert and Luke and Lauren and

573
00:40:15.079 --> 00:40:17.559
all these guys were final fall.
Right. He was not a great score,

574
00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:20.239
but he could jump out of the
gym and he was a pretty good

575
00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:22.239
basketball player. Right. So one
of our friends we found him on the

576
00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:30.480
show National Beat. Writer Richard declares
on the radio, the guy says he's

577
00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:32.039
not good enough. He's just not
good enough. Look at his stats.

578
00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:37.199
He's twelve points a game, six
six rebounds a game. And I'm thinking,

579
00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:40.239
it's not about the stats. This
is nothing about stats. If you're

580
00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:45.199
if you're good enough, you're good
enough to play and guess what singer is

581
00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:51.480
good enough to play the Difference band
though Richard Jefferson was getting the minutes,

582
00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:54.239
he was a starter. She was
playing, sure, and he was visible.

583
00:40:54.400 --> 00:40:59.440
Sure, if you're barely getting on
the field where you're not getting catches

584
00:40:59.440 --> 00:41:04.079
and things like that, at it's
probably Look, he's I'm sure he's not

585
00:41:05.159 --> 00:41:09.280
regretting. Oh where he is based
on he's probably getting some you know,

586
00:41:09.360 --> 00:41:13.840
form of nil and now you know
and you'll probably still get a look.

587
00:41:13.880 --> 00:41:16.400
In the NFL, it's like this
too, Uh with Michael Jordan and Sean

588
00:41:16.440 --> 00:41:21.039
Elliott. Who's the only guy to
keep Uh? Who to keep a shot

589
00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:25.239
into sixteen points a game? Loud
Olsen. Yeah, because he didn't have

590
00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:30.000
to score the points has nothing to
do with anything. If he's got the

591
00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:32.920
ability, he's got the ability find
out. Yeah, the thing is it

592
00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:37.599
can just make it a little harder
for you to get I totally get the

593
00:41:37.599 --> 00:41:39.079
point. But he is who he
is. They're going to practices, they're

594
00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:43.000
going there, scout, they're doing
Whether you catch the ball in a game

595
00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:47.280
or not, it doesn't exclude you
not catching the ball anytime. And I

596
00:41:47.320 --> 00:41:52.800
mean all it takes is for this
Weekend singer to go eleven catches, one

597
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:55.880
hundred and eighty yards and two touchdowns
and on Espno, well that's not gonna

598
00:41:55.880 --> 00:42:00.679
happen again, Well, I'll give
you any team it would happen against Theirs

599
00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:05.639
and Jay give another point. Remember
how Song Adams senior year, he was

600
00:42:05.719 --> 00:42:08.079
fantastic, He was fantastic, right, Uh that he's had a lot of

601
00:42:08.119 --> 00:42:12.679
points, could play, he was
six foot four, six foot five and

602
00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:15.679
could do a lot of things,
but he wasn't good enough. At no

603
00:42:15.800 --> 00:42:20.519
time did I think Adams had an
NBA exactly because that wasn't an NBA guy,

604
00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:23.880
right, So yeah, point well, mate, because he's heck of

605
00:42:23.920 --> 00:42:28.360
a player, right, but not
that he didn't fit that, you know

606
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:30.840
exactly and a bunch of guys have
come through it, you know exactly right,

607
00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:35.320
comes to mind exactly again, a
guy who was very productive as a

608
00:42:35.320 --> 00:42:37.000
as a as a college basketball player, but you just knew he didn't have

609
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:40.079
that game, correct, That correct? Right? And I think Nick Johnson

610
00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:45.480
that that was exactly right. He
was a player of the year between your

611
00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:47.280
guy, he was a good college
player. Miles Simon, Yeah, come

612
00:42:47.320 --> 00:42:51.360
on, yes, yeah, true, same thing. So that was kind

613
00:42:51.360 --> 00:42:53.159
of a point. Okay, yeah, I hear wow, I get a

614
00:42:53.159 --> 00:42:57.280
point for Jay. I write this
stay down, write this day down.

615
00:42:57.280 --> 00:43:00.800
We're gonna put over you know you? Actually I never say anything nice about

616
00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:04.360
you, man, Write that down. I think I found another one somewhere

617
00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:07.320
in the drawer there. That's just
not even true. Oh my God,

618
00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:10.639
made me sound like the ogre sitting
here on the other microphone just crapping on

619
00:43:10.679 --> 00:43:15.719
you all the time most of the
time. And it's not like that.

620
00:43:16.199 --> 00:43:22.239
Usc. Your receiver room is bad. If they have guys, that's the

621
00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:25.760
poor riceist kid is there. He
filled it up last weekend. They have

622
00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:30.599
this Taj Washington guy at a seventy
five year old what's the kid's name that

623
00:43:30.599 --> 00:43:34.519
they said that was the next Reggie
Bush. He didn't play last week.

624
00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:37.079
That's that's why I didn't hear his
names. They were saying, he's like

625
00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:38.960
the most explosive dude in college,
so why didn't he play that. I

626
00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:44.880
think he's heard heart. That's the
reason thing that keep him off of Zachariah

627
00:43:44.960 --> 00:43:50.519
Branch okay freshman freshman, true fresh
true freshman because the first game he had

628
00:43:50.519 --> 00:43:54.840
like a return run kickoff return whatever
I missed this yesterday. We missed this

629
00:43:54.920 --> 00:44:00.639
yesterday? How do we miss this? Yesterday was the twenty fifth anniversary.

630
00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:07.559
Oh I think I saw this.
I don't know the Leap by the Lake

631
00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:13.960
alrighty twenty five years nineteen ninety eight, Holy crab, I would have never

632
00:44:14.039 --> 00:44:19.559
get sat. That's like twenty fifth. You know what you're talking about.

633
00:44:19.599 --> 00:44:22.840
We know what we're talking about.
Flipping to the end zone against Washington.

634
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:28.920
Google it, kid, It's right
here on my on my screen. Wow,

635
00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:31.679
twenty five years. That should make
you feel old. Everything makes me

636
00:44:32.280 --> 00:44:36.079
five years old. I thought I
would have said twenty at the most,

637
00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:40.320
man, because look, twenty five. It is twenty six since since the

638
00:44:40.440 --> 00:44:45.679
UVE won the title, right,
ninety seven, ninety seven, twenty six?

639
00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:50.800
Uh, what is it the thirty
five? Is it thirty five eighty

640
00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:53.159
eight? What's idiot? Since it
was the final four for the first time.

641
00:44:53.840 --> 00:44:58.559
Man, God, when's my retiring? We're aging. We've talked about

642
00:44:58.559 --> 00:45:00.039
this. You're not retiring. No, I've never return You're never going to

643
00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:04.800
retire. But not a blue blood. No, there was one we talked

644
00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:07.199
about that we talked about with him
on money. Oh see, that's why

645
00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:10.719
I didn't listen to the show.
And he was with you. He was

646
00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:15.480
with you until I told you he
was with you until but he was like

647
00:45:15.719 --> 00:45:20.000
listening to twenty teams? What the
hell my thing was? Then then his

648
00:45:20.079 --> 00:45:22.679
dad came in and Game five and
that was it. Yeah, there's I

649
00:45:22.679 --> 00:45:24.880
think there's five. There's five,
Yeah, there's and there was one.

650
00:45:24.920 --> 00:45:28.360
It's not one of them. Yeah, there's one. It's kind of a

651
00:45:28.440 --> 00:45:30.719
light blue blood. That's kind of
what we ended on. Yeah, it's

652
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:38.960
like the color they're teetering. Yeah, uh okay, yeah, I you

653
00:45:38.960 --> 00:45:44.280
know, see I hear you on
on on on on Durian Singer. But

654
00:45:44.440 --> 00:45:46.760
still, you know, guys want
to catch the ball. Sure, right,

655
00:45:46.920 --> 00:45:50.440
they go play at a place like
that because they think I'm gonna see

656
00:45:50.440 --> 00:45:53.360
the ball more, I'm gonna have
more opportunities. I'm gonna be right right,

657
00:45:53.440 --> 00:45:55.239
you know, I'm at USC,
I'm gonna be you know, on

658
00:45:55.320 --> 00:45:59.000
TV all the time, I'm doing
all this stuff. Sure, And it's

659
00:45:59.039 --> 00:46:01.000
that part of it just does seemed
to be panning out. Yeah, no,

660
00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:05.119
true, but it's beyond that.
I mean, if you're good enough,

661
00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:08.119
you're good enough, right and if
that's the end goal. But I'm

662
00:46:08.159 --> 00:46:13.440
sure one of his goals was to
go to usc and be on ESPN and

663
00:46:13.599 --> 00:46:17.559
ABC and Fox all the time,
and and uh have a chance to win

664
00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:22.480
a national title, right which they're
gonna lose this week. He surely wouldn't

665
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:25.920
have it here. He surely wouldn't
have it here. That's going away on

666
00:46:27.000 --> 00:46:30.280
Saturday. See, I shouldn't be
giving him any points. That's how he

667
00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:32.960
came in yesterday. They're gonna win. Well, if you're gonna win,

668
00:46:34.039 --> 00:46:36.639
it's like asking me, you want
to win one hundred yard dash? Sure

669
00:46:36.920 --> 00:46:44.280
can I get thirty yards lead?
If Singer would have stayed, do you

670
00:46:44.280 --> 00:46:46.119
think you of A's receiving room is
one of the best in the country.

671
00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:52.199
Is it still is good? Because
because you know mont Canda, Lamonious Craig

672
00:46:52.519 --> 00:46:54.280
is gone. Great is a nice, very great job. But yes,

673
00:46:54.320 --> 00:47:00.119
I mean there would be a notch
above that. But to me, you

674
00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:01.840
know, one of the issues is
the way Jade Delauria has been playing.

675
00:47:02.239 --> 00:47:08.239
So who knows how much better they
would be with Dorian Sera because DeLaura hasn't

676
00:47:08.280 --> 00:47:14.599
been the quarterback, you yea,
And so you know if he starts this

677
00:47:14.679 --> 00:47:17.760
week, which you know he might, you know, obviously we hopefully we'll

678
00:47:17.760 --> 00:47:21.760
know more tomorrow. But I don't
think Jed is going to give up.

679
00:47:21.960 --> 00:47:24.840
You know, he's going to be
definitive, uh ahead of the game.

680
00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:29.679
Why would Why would he? But
let's say Delaurian does start again. My

681
00:47:29.800 --> 00:47:32.760
hope is that, you know,
the week off got him to give him

682
00:47:32.760 --> 00:47:37.679
a chance to kind of regroup,
gather himself and realize, you know,

683
00:47:37.079 --> 00:47:40.760
what he's been doing hasn't been working. He's got to do something else.

684
00:47:40.760 --> 00:47:44.119
And I thought nor Flafia did a
nice time. No look, no,

685
00:47:44.199 --> 00:47:46.480
Fafieda was not perfect, but he
did He did a lot of good things.

686
00:47:47.360 --> 00:47:52.360
Mostly he got the ball out of
his hands to open receivers, you

687
00:47:52.400 --> 00:47:55.840
know, making throws that looked.
I know it's not easy, but to

688
00:47:55.920 --> 00:48:00.199
him looked easy, looked routine,
look easy to complete, and gained yards

689
00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:02.840
and kept Arizona in the game.
And you hope the Lawy is sitting there

690
00:48:02.840 --> 00:48:07.280
on the sideliner this week watching film
and jets in his ear, like,

691
00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:09.440
hey, see what happened to we
get the ball out? Ball out quick,

692
00:48:09.480 --> 00:48:14.039
get it to your playmakers. See
what happens exactly. I hope.

693
00:48:14.159 --> 00:48:17.239
I hope he sees that and is
like, that's him giving us a chance

694
00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:21.519
to win this Saturday, because the
man I'm telling you, Steve, the

695
00:48:21.559 --> 00:48:24.519
opportunity is there for Arizona in this
particular game. I really like that.

696
00:48:25.159 --> 00:48:29.800
You know, it's one of those
matchup things, right. I think Arizona's

697
00:48:29.800 --> 00:48:31.760
got a much better defense than than
us. He has played all year long,

698
00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:37.320
and so you know, I don't
see them putting up fifty points.

699
00:48:37.119 --> 00:48:40.719
And then I just think, you
know, USC's defense is so bad that

700
00:48:40.719 --> 00:48:44.440
that as bad as Arizona has been, they're still gonna be able to score

701
00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:46.760
something. So what are the characters
names in Dumb and Dumber? You just

702
00:48:47.000 --> 00:48:52.480
I'm not dum no no, Well, it's like mother, Jim, Jim,

703
00:48:52.800 --> 00:48:57.840
Will Jed. I think you have
a chance. I think you have

704
00:48:57.920 --> 00:49:01.119
a chance. You know what,
don't talk the rest of the You do

705
00:49:01.239 --> 00:49:06.440
have a chance. There's a reason
why they're twenty two point dougs. Alright,

706
00:49:06.519 --> 00:49:07.199
let's hit the road. We got
to get out of here. Breaking

707
00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:10.000
news coming up with Sammy, and
then maybe I'll talk to again.
