Silver, a former k GUN broadcaster. You can go all the way back

23
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:30.159
to the early eighties when he was
doing color for the k gun's uh broadcast

24
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.599

for a long time. I've been working

00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.840
working out at the A for a
while and told us that he is now

27
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:45.719
retired. But you know, Dave
Silver is one of those guys like Brian

28
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.840
Jefferies. He's never looked his age
and now he's telling us that he's retired.

29

stuff today and and and Steve is
somebody who I'm Steve Davis, somebody who

00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.199
do is get retired, and we
know about it, right right, right,

38
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.479

We just uh check and see how
things are going with the DA right,

44
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:42.560
Okay, No, I look forward
to that. A lot of good questions

45
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:46.280
hopefully that we'll come up with.
Yeah interesting, Yeah, so yeah,

46
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:47.080
it should be fun. So it
should be a good show. Yeah,

47
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:51.680
Okay, what else is ven?
Sammy's here today? Mister iron man.

48
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:53.879
Okay, I've been here in the
last couple with the iron Man's shirt and

49
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.800
my half iron not half iron man, okay, half iron man. We

50
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.479
had put a search off for you
and you were out and no wonder we

51
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:05.039
couldn't find you. We were in
the l's the last place we'll look golf

52
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.280
courses. That place, well,
golf course maybe, of course would have

53
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:12.759
been the first first. No,
never never said me, and never Kevin

54
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:17.080
and never Stephen, never Jay could
have found me in the ocean. Exactly.

55
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.319
Who's that guy bobbing up and down? It's a sharking some guy?

56
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:27.759
Yeah, yeah, okay, cool. So looking forward to the show some

57
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.680
more, some more football. We
have more about ten days of football,

58
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:35.159
ye till till next Saturday. Yeah, so they got what's today Wednesday?

59
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:39.680
So they'll have a Thursday, Sunday
and Thursday Saturday. Then uh right,

60
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:44.919
was it Monday Wednesday? It's not
today, so it might be Thursday Thursday.

61
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:46.560
I think they practice two days a
week and then three days a week.

62
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:52.520
So the'll practice Tomorrow and Saturday and
then Tuesday Thursday and then the spring

63
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.879
game next Saturday. Is the Is
the spring game always this late? I

64
00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:59.479
know it hasn't been this late.
I was gonna say the last couple of

65
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.360
years. Early my memories came up, like the first week of April or

66
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.680
when it's cooler. Yeah, and
you know, and like, for instance,

67
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:10.159
when they said the portal opening you
know to April fifteenth, it was

68
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:15.280
the the intent of getting giving teams
a chance to get their spring uh spring

69
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.560
practice done. Arizona's still practicing,
so there's still some guys hanging around who

70
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:20.879
you don't know if they're gonna gonna
be here or not. But yeah,

71
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:26.439
it's uh, it's it's a little
late. And when's the when does the

72
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.040
portal officially close? It's fifteen days. I think fifteen days, so I

73
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:32.959
thought I was thirty, but give
you thirty. I think football right,

74
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.439
Yeah, I think this one is
fifteen. It could be wrong. And

75
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:41.519
we'll see if anymore Arizona players jump, yeah, and any administrators jump,

76
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:44.800
Yeah, we'll see what I was. We talked about that yesterday. It

77
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:47.600
seems kind of odd, not odd, but one of the administrators leaving who

78
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:50.959
played here, So I don't want
to go back to that. So yeah,

79
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:54.839
this is what it is, people
coming and going, the new world

80
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:58.439
of it, you know. I
we'll talk to about well and uh,

81
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:03.120
you know, Dan Hurley was on
uh uh Dann Patrick Show today and he

82
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:06.839
had some interesting stuff. He just
you know, again he's just he's I

83
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:10.040
mean he hates it, but he
knows that this is how it is.

84
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.839
You know, he's he was recruiting
his players, recruiting new players, you

85
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:17.399
know, for the team. He's
kind of It's kind of funny because he

86
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.279
Patrick asked him an interesting question.
He said, do you think your team

87
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:28.040
could have been your brother's duke team? The best one of the duke teams?

88
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:30.800
At first he laughed, you know, that was a really interesting question.

89
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:31.879
It was, And and then he
said, well, he said,

90
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:36.639
we could if we got all our
guys back, because to the meaning that

91
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.800
the reason Duke won the second one
was because all the guys from there,

92
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.800
you know, had been kept coming
back and they were all seniors and stuff.

93
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:46.639
So he's saying, if we get
all our guys back, yeah,

94
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:48.160
I think I think we can.
But it was a funny, funny part

95
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:53.680
of the conversation. Yeah, they
could have gotten three pete had Vegas not

96
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:59.000
spoiled that ninety. So anyway,
it was, it was it was fun.

97
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:00.199
But you know, again that and
that's just what you hear from coaches,

98
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.279
and that that's how they have to
approach it, right, they have

99
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:05.759
to say I hate I mean,
maybe i'll hate it, but this is

100
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.920
where I am, and you're just
going to keep doing it, and he's

101
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:11.480
he was good at it last year. He bought in the right people.

102
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.439
And in fact, people were saying
that it's not with the greatest players,

103
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.399
but guys who played well together right
right, and you know, and the

104
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:20.040
team had the team had experience,
it had age, they were they were

105
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:24.279
men, you know, playing you
know, against boys a lot a lot

106
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:27.560
of the time, and and a
lot of them too, like Clinging especially,

107
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.920
he could have easily jumped ship last
year having he didn't play that much.

108
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.600
There was a couple guys on that
team that didn't play that much.

109
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:39.240
But it does. It does take
a strong personality or a strong person to

110
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.639
be like, I'm gonna stay.
His team's really good and it paid off

111
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.680
for him. Not a lot of
guys would have that maturity to just be

112
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:47.279
like, yeah, I like this
program, I like the school, I

113
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.439
like the coach, and I think
a lot of that plays into it.

114
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:58.319
But also some guys don't know how
to accept roles or feat It's like all

115
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.959
of a sudden, oh, I
didn't get enough minute and now he's gotten

116
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:02.000
Well, no, that's okay,
it's all about me, right, It's

117
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.079
all now he's going to be an
NBA player. Yeah, well he's out

118
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:08.560
to be drafted as an NBA player. Pretty good player. We saw him

119
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.519
in front in person for a couple
of games, very good. He handled

120
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.439
Edi relatively well, but he was
you know, both poor fouls is because

121
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:19.839
he could have yeah strong wise,
you know, defensive. So we'll see

122
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:24.759
a good kid too. I spoke
some to some to him a bit out

123
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:29.160
at the four. So there there's
that. Well, what else is going

124
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.879
on? Baseball lost last night?
I know you probably had that I was

125
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:38.480
losing. Is a good program.
You know they're good program. You should

126
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:45.360
be losing to them because it's because
it's yeah, because it's Dallas Baptist.

127
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.160
He's the airport. Airport has a
lot of really good places. One of

128
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:51.160
my one of my buddies, airport, you know, you know what I

129
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:54.839
mean. Well, he looks good. He looks good in the airport,

130
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:58.040
looks really good. He's a good
player, and he played. I can't

131
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.160
swing, can run, can hit, but he was good. This is

132
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:05.199
good. I'm gonna call it the
Gunner cruise. He did look like a

133
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:11.720
quarterback, didn't he He had here
he were he was like Keanu Reeves and

134
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:15.319
the replacement man. He just he
just looked good in the uniform and then

135
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.680
well then then he had to play. He had to play. It wasn't

136
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.199
very good. What are you gonna
do? What you do with our apologies,

137
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.120

wherever, but that's that's how you

00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.160

00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:54.960
We got too like that we did

146
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.679
Well? This is a good one. This kind of before you know,

147
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.080
we're talking about what how did that
come up? He's a Dodger. He

148
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.240
was a Dodger for all this time, and then he got Trey get traded

149
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:09.039
to the mess and you said,
in your heart or in my heart,

always be a Dodger. Not so much

151
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.080
a Met right and somebody who was
a Mets fan, well, wait,

152
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:16.720
he won, yeah, you know
he won more with the Mets than he

153
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.120
did with the Dodgers, which is
true, but he was still an do

154
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.279
he was Tommy Lesa's gods. I
mean, when I think of Mike Piazza,

155
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.080
I think of him as a Met. Well, you're full of crap,

156
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.320
then, well, because later,
well you caught him later. I

157
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.080
caught him later here here and here's
and this is where where I was coming

158
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.960
from, minding me to tell you
a full of crap. No, you

159
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.600
are something sure. Where I was
coming from was that, you know,

160
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:41.919
my son Adam was a look at
and that was his first favorite Dodger.

161
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.320
Okay, he had he had a
you know, Dodger T shirt with number

162
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:48.639
thirty one on it and the whole
bit. That's what I think about when

163
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:50.320
I think about Mikeiaza, to think
about him being a man, it's like

164
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:56.039
Piazza ran around his house like yeah, it's like it's similarly to I mean,

165
00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:01.440
of his career is not as long
yet, but Paul go his he

166
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.679
was fantastic for the Diamondbacks, didn't
win an m v P, but then

167
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.679
he gets traded to the Cardinals,
wins an MVP, and he's probably a

168
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.480
little statistically better. But I grew
up watching me. He's he's a diamond

169
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.879
back. He's a diamondback, right, you would. But if you asked

170
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:18.559
the St. Louis, if you
ask some Saint Louis crowds, they'd be

171
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.559
like, oh, like cardinal for
life like types. Okay, I'm not.

172
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:24.720
I mean, I'm not just told
you become a Dodger, your Dodger.

173
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:30.360
Strawberry is a man, Okay,
even though he played for the Dodgers.

174
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:33.799
Eric Davis who came with her,
he's a red he you know,

175
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.720
I don't consider him like a Dodger. So right right now is Lookie,

176
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.240
I was gonna say, what's Mookie
and Freddie? Mookie is a Dodger.

177
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:48.000
You're on the air and eye on
the ball. How's it going today,

178
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:58.320
Brian? I look at Mike pi
dog. He spent he spent four days

179
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.679
with the Marrow, and I think
it was something we're gonna we're gonna hang

180
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:07.080
up on. We're gonna hang up
on you for that. Okay. Also

181
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.639
one thing too, I'm a cardinal
person. Golfman is not a he's a

182
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:16.200
he's a diamondback. At what point, at what point would he be the

183
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:24.159
Cardinal? I really don't think he
ever could be, unless maybe they win

184
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:30.360
a World Series, which are not
gonna do. But maybe that would be

185
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.080
the only way, you know,
because I don't think he'll be around much

186
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:39.960
longer, even as a Cardinals,
you know, I think by the training

187
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:46.440
deadline he'll be gone. Who's your
favorite player all time? Bob Gibson?

188
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:52.559
Okay, and he was with one
team, right yeah? Because he hated

189
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:58.360
everybody. He kind of reminds me
of Steve it I would I would everybody.

190
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.399
I would you right away. But
real quick, don't you miss the

191
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.720
days of one player, one team
forever? Oh? Court? Well,

192
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.799
I mean I missed that in college
sports two years ago. Yeah yeah,

193
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:15.440
okay, I mean we'll never see
that again in any sport, right yeah,

194
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:20.720
right? Yeah. I mean it's
it's said that kids nowadays can't get

195
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.159
to know their players like you know, back in I knew sixties and seventies.

196
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.240
I knew all the Cardinal players.
But you know, I have to

197
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:30.960
look every year to see who's brand
new, you know, right, that's

198
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.879
really kind of sad. Yeah,
Okay, Brian, don't make us cry.

199
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.919
Yeah, Brian, and I love
you, Bri. Don't worry about

200
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:41.320
it. Yeah, he doesn't hate
you. All right, I'm gonna find

201
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:46.480
I'm gonna find a Marlin Mike Jersey
for good. Good luck with that,

202
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:52.120
good good luck with you. All
right. It's like when you when you

203
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.360
get a favorite player, then they
buy and then they burn it when they

204
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.000
like Lero, well, you know, and it was that was around the

205
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.279
time that the Diamondbacks, you know, we're here so like and I really

206
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.159
just know when when Piazza left the
Dodger you know, and that and really

207
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.240
just you know, I really started
to ease up towards my you know,

208
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:13.720
love for the Dodgers because they didn't
like the things they were doing, you

209
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.039
know. You know, it was
when the Murdocks, it was a Murdock

210
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:20.360
who bought and they started talking about
changing, building a new stadium and getting

211
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.519
out and I'm like, you guys, aren't the Dodgers anymore, you know,

212
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:26.120
And and you know, and at
the time I was involved with the

213
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:31.399
Diamondbacks to teepe and stuff, and
so I really kind of separated away from

214
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:33.080
the Dodgers for quite a while.
But he's back, but I'm back and

215
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.240
I am back and when they when
they start spending money, he's back in

216
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:41.600
and and Mooki's a Dodger. And
Freddy Freddy Freeman's the Dodger, show the

217
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:46.600
Dodger. He might not be a
Dodger. You know the sand line in

218
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.360
the sand, he moves it a
lot. That's okay. He goes to

219
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:54.080
you know what you wish you had? Show hey up and up in Tim

220
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:58.039
up in Phoenix. So don't even
who doesn't. But he's a Dodger.

221
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:03.200
This this scan. He just looks
so much better in a Dodger uniform than

222
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.840
an Angel uniform. He does,
he does, really, it really does.

223
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:09.799
Oh god, the Dodgers have sweet
after this love of fair let's school

224

if for breaking and get days,
we'll get Dave Silver on into well,

225

226
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:20.120
some stuff. See how his job
is, you know, because now he

227
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.960
can kind of speak freely. Yeah

today. Steve Rivera and Jacin Salis
they have their eye on the fall on

300
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:42.440
Tucson's sports station SAT Fox Sports fourteen
fifteen. Hey, welcome back to the

301
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:47.480
ball here Fox Sports fourteen fifteen.
I'm Steve Bavera and he's Jacin's aust So

302
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:52.880
I don't if I only have Dave
Silver, former Channel Line Sports guy head

303
00:19:52.920 --> 00:20:00.440
anchor Sports anchor and former You a
funnizer. How you doing today? Good?

304
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:04.000
I've I've finished up two careers here
in the last few years, so

305
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:07.440
it's kind of a fun time a
few years. I think Jay brought this

306
00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:11.880
up before we got ahold of you. You've been around since the mid eighties.

307
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:18.039
Yes, I got here in nineteen
eighty three, So I always tell

308
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.920
the story that I arrived literally as
Loodolson's first season was starting in eighty three.

309
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:29.759
Oh okay, because where I remember
you from initially is that you were

310
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:33.920
the colored guy for the k Gun's
broadcast of like you have a football and

311
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:37.480
stuff? Right, Well, how
many years did you do that? Yes,

312
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:42.599
that was eighty five eighty six.
I did the last two years that

313
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:47.839
k GUN had the contract and then
that was it. I've never done colored

314
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:52.480
commentary since then. I don't think. Wow, maybe maybe maybe baseball here

315
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:56.279
and there, but nothing regular.
Yeah, yeah, So okay, So

316
00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:59.720
let I mean we want to go
too deep into the you know, your

317
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:02.440
your time and stuff, but I
mean, how does it feel. You

318
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:03.599
said, it's been a couple of
weeks now, the early days. What

319
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:07.839
are you doing? You know?
You said You've been keeping busy, but

320
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:14.039
busy doing what. Yeah, you
know, I've I've I've gotten it into

321
00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:18.440
a couple of hiking clubs. Believe
it or not, I've never really experienced

322
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:22.000
and enjoyed some of Tucson's outdoor stuff, especially in the mornings. There's a

323
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:26.279
couple of groups I've been involved with. I know it's not the most exciting

324
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:30.680
thing in the world, but Tucson
is so beautiful and this time of year

325
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:33.920
is great to be out there,
so I kind of lucked out timing wise

326
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.559
with that. I've been asked to
join a couple of you know, a

327
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:41.359
couple of boards, a couple of
committees. Some people from you know,

328
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:45.920
from our past, from media have
kind of gotten into these types of jobs

329
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:48.519
and they've they've reached out. They
know that I'm out there and that I,

330
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:51.960
you know, I want to do
stuff that I never really had time

331
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:55.039
to do before. Yeah, is
there an uber option on these hips?

332
00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:59.960
Yeah. I don't believe it or
not. We did. We did a

333
00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:02.799
I don't want to get too deep
into it, but we did a walk

334
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:10.000
through town last week that lasted three
hours. It was it was unbelievable.

335
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:12.000
I mean it was I can't believe
I did it, but it was.

336
00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:15.519
It was fantastic. You know.
The only the only place that I can

337
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:21.759
walk for that long this is a
bridge, is Disneyland. That's it.

338
00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:25.200
If if you you know, if
you told me go walk just right now,

339
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:27.160
get out of your chair and go
walk how much you walk in a

340
00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:30.839
day at Disneyland, I would say, no, I'm not I can't do

341
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:33.160
that. But you know, yeah, So and you just took a walk

342
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:37.680
through town, I mean where to
where it was? It was. It

343
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:42.880
was gorgeous. We went from right
around Banner Hospital, up Campbell up to

344
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:48.119
campus, straight through campus, I
mean right down the mall, all the

345
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:52.400
way past the old Main, continued
on all the way to University to Fourth

346
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:57.880
Avenue, down forth into downtown,
you know, up and around through downtown

347
00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:03.079
and all the way back. I
mean it was like three hours. I

348
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:07.680
think I was over seventeen thousand steps
something like that. So it was it

349
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:11.559
was a good, good walk.
So I'm doing a little of that and

350
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:15.440
again just reeking out to people around
town to see what's going on. I've

351
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:18.400
had a few meetings here and there, and so it's you know, it's

352
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:21.759
just kind of a different, different
way of spending my time. And most

353
00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:25.039
recently you were doing some fundraising for
I don't know what college. You can't

354
00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:29.559
remember what college. Yeah, so
it was with a College of Social Behavioral

355
00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:34.039
Sciences FBS. And shout out to
everybody over there who were they were just

356
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:37.960
terrific. In fact, I went
to an event last night where we honored

357
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:44.240
some of our scholars had been award
of scholarships from our donors in SBS.

358
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:48.839
But the dean, Lorie Pony Stoddinger, is relatively new to the UVE,

359
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:52.240
and she she's been great and everybody
kind of understood, you know, my

360
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:56.920
feelings. But you know, I
was there in that college for about six

361
00:23:56.000 --> 00:24:00.000
years, and before that, I
was at the u of a foundation raising

362
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:06.559
money for anybody any any area of
the university who was interested in giving back.

363
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:11.920
So I did that in total for
twelve years after leaving Kaguan. How

364
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:17.200
what kind of a sports fan have
you been since you left that part of

365
00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:19.880
the business and left that part of
your your career behind. Kind of like

366
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:23.559
average sports fan like everybody else,
or you know, big yo a fan.

367
00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:27.160
Uh, you know those kinds.
Did you ever separate yourself from what

368
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:33.880
you did as a as a as
a reporter in this town? I guess

369
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:37.960
in terms of just doing the job. Yes, but I mean as far

370
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:42.400
as being a fan, I mean
I was. I've been as strong as

371
00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:45.680
a fan as I think I've ever
been. You know, even before,

372
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:48.359
you know, when I was on
television, I wasn't really supposed to be

373
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:52.359
rooting things like that, but you
know now I was. Even you know,

374
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:56.079
as I was working for the UVENT, I was certainly you know,

375
00:24:56.160 --> 00:25:00.720
behind the teams and keeping track of
everything, and you know, there's just

376
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:04.079
so much to so much to see
and so much to read. Even you

377
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:07.000
know, since I left television,
and you know, you know, you

378
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:11.680
guys with your websites and and the
blogs and the podcast there's there's a lot

379
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:15.559
to listen to, lots of read, lots of lots of digest So it's

380
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:18.519
it's been fun. And you know, not just at the local level,

381
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:25.359
just everywhere. There's just so much
information out there. And I've always been

382
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:27.559
kind of a you know, a
news hound and it's never going to go

383
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:32.240
right. Yeah, I'm always interested
in what's happening. And you you left,

384
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:34.640
uh, I don't want to say
a little before all the changes,

385
00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:40.720
but maybe you could comfortably before all
the changes of limited access tougher to get

386
00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:44.759
stories tell for to tell us stories. So you must have been grateful for

387
00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:48.039
that definitely, And I've heard you
guys talk about that too, And that's

388
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:52.599
one thing that I do not miss
in terms of not having access. I

389
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:56.160
mean, you remember how easy it
was to talk to the players back in

390
00:25:56.160 --> 00:25:59.400
the day, and those are the
great stories. That's how we got our

391
00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:02.599
That's how we set ourselves apart from
each other, too, is that Steve

392
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:04.240
would have a story of jol have
a story and I have a story all

393
00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:08.319
different. It seems like everybody,
right, yeah, well you have to

394
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:14.920
kind of kind of have to work
it that way. I unfortunate that's gone

395
00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:18.000
that way, but I don't think
it's ever going to go back. No,

396
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:22.039
No, they you know, there's
again that everybody just wants to have

397
00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:25.799
too much control over what's you know, what's being said to them because you

398
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:27.359
never you know, you never know
who's gonna jump out on social media and

399
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:30.759
say something or whatever. I mean, that was always the case, right

400
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:33.720
You talk to somebody and they're gonna
say stuff, and then you're gonna go,

401
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:36.799
oh, I wish he hadn't said
that, but it was out there,

402
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:37.839
and there was anything you really did
about it. But that's what kind

403
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:41.359
of made all those stories real.
But you know what, Jay, we

404
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:44.519
talk about that now, but I
don't I don't remember a time. Maybe

405
00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:47.359
Gilbert, maybe Gilbert Arenas when he
was here, you know, he would

406
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:49.599
say something kind of crazy and I
would be upset. But it's very rare.

407
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:52.640
It was rare when the student athlete
would say something crazy and used to

408
00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:56.000
and they say, well, you
know, we wish you hadn't said that,

409
00:26:56.319 --> 00:27:00.200
Dave. I don't think you probably
experienced that. No, I mean,

410
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:03.119
they are pretty buttoned up. You
knew that they were getting, you

411
00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:07.319
know, advice if you will,
you know, from Lout or from you

412
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:10.599
know, Dictomy or Larry Smith,
whoever the coach was. Jerry Kendall was

413
00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:14.160
terrific with the media in that way, but he knew that they were kind

414
00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:17.799
of being guided as to, you
know, what we should and shouldn't say.

415
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:22.599
There was always just something especially about
getting somebody one on one and having

416
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:26.279
a few minutes with them. That
doesn't seem like it happens too much anymore.

417
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:30.359
Maybe in the postseason tournaments it looks
like there's some of those opportunities after

418
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:34.400
the big news conferences, but otherwise, you know, there's just not much

419
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:38.119
access. Yeah, no, and
I mean and that's the way it was.

420
00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:42.240
So so let me go back to
the question though, So just a

421
00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:45.920
fan, you know, go send
seats of U of a games? Uh?

422
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:49.240
You know, do you do?
You do you find yourself looking at

423
00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:52.160
a game as you would looked at
it as a reporter or anything like that.

424
00:27:55.640 --> 00:27:57.640
Probably more than I should be if
you will. You know, sometimes

425
00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:00.119
I'm watching the game and I'm thinking, oh my gosh, what are they

426
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:03.519
doing? And I'm trying not to
be and I'm sitting with friends and I'm

427
00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:07.240
trying not to be a reporter and
ask you know what, you know,

428
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:11.240
what the strategy was here? But
no, I've I've gone to a lot

429
00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:15.640
of games, and probably not as
much, probably not as much as I

430
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:18.240
used to, But I'll go to
a handful of basketball games, both men

431
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:25.000
and women, Baseball, yeah,
football, you name, it's I mean,

432
00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:26.279
it's it's here, and it's it's
great now to kind of have some

433
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:30.480
freedom to just kind of pick and
choose what we want to do. Did

434
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:33.240
you And I know I've had you
on the show before. I don't know

435
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:34.880
if we've been on the show with
they came and did a guest host.

436
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:37.839
Okay, so maybe he's been on
a couple of times. I may have

437
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:41.480
asked you this. There was there
a point when you left and you've been

438
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:45.759
gone, what maybe fifteen years now
from the industry. Uh that that you

439
00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:48.400
said, You know what, I
do miss it a little bit or even

440
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:55.480
a lot. I've always kind of
told the stories that I really missed the

441
00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:59.640
big moments. I'll never not miss
that. I mean, as I'm watching

442
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:04.160
the NCAA tournaments and bowl games and
big football matchups or whatever, I'll miss

443
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:08.720
that, you know, the day
to day. I kind of did that

444
00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:12.079
for a long time and that's kind
of just what it was. But I

445
00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:15.480
do, you know, I'll always
miss kind of being there for the big

446
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:23.119
moments and being able to experience that. Maybe now is a in my position.

447
00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:26.720
Now I'll have even more freedom to
just kind of pick, like long

448
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:32.799
ago, to a College World Series
if the Wildcats make it, or Oklahoma

449
00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:34.440
City or something like that, or
just go to the bowl game when they

450
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:37.559
go as a fan. So that'll
be fun to be able to do that.

451
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:41.880
I noticed you didn't mention Final Four
in there, because because we just

452
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:45.839
don't know when that's gonna happen.
Yeah, I know, I cannot.

453
00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:49.400
I just can't believe it when I
you know, it's it seems so fresh,

454
00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:56.119
but kind of spend what twenty three
years, it's unbelievable that that's being

455
00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:00.680
said. I'm gonna ask him the
proverbial question for I on the ball Arizona

456
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:07.279
basketball blue Blood? No, maybe
maybe what's below blue? I don't know,

457
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:14.440
I don't Are they still still you
gotta be one first now, I

458
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:18.519
know. Yeah, but you know
they're gonna still include Kansas and teams like

459
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:22.240
that that have also kind of had
glitches in the last few years. Kentucky

460
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:27.559
obviously they've won some titles in the
last ten years. True, but I

461
00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:32.400
mean, you know, it's hard
of just believe that, like Yukon has

462
00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:34.759
been this good. Really, I
know they've had they had the Jim Calhoun

463
00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:38.240
years, but to be still this
good all these years later, that's pretty

464
00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:42.680
remarkable for Yukon. Yeah. Yeah, no, I I gave it.

465
00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:48.400
I've given up on the argument they
you know that we had one and we

466
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:51.920
have I mean, yeah, we're
having it pretty often, but you know

467
00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:55.920
they're close. But you're right,
I mean, twenty three years since just

468
00:30:55.920 --> 00:31:00.720
being in the last final four in
twenty six, seven seven, twenty seventh

469
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:04.039
since the last championship. Yeah,
it's hard to it's hard to it's hard

470
00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:08.000
to make an argument for them,
uh being in there. But I don't

471
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:11.200
know, uh, Dave, so
we all know about the money situation there.

472
00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:17.440
How how involved was athletics in your
real job? And I'm sure that

473
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:21.039
if athletics was doing very well,
your job was a little easier because it

474
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:26.119
became the front porch to the university. Definitely, definitely did. There were

475
00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:33.279
so many examples of situations where I
would I would go on a trip based

476
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:34.799
on if there was gonna be a
game in town. So I used to

477
00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:41.240
travel quite a bit to Seattle,
into Oregon and LA. So I would

478
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:45.519
sometimes just try to sync up,
you know, a weekend, say go

479
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:48.720
to Seattle and get there on a
Thursday and we'd be playing on a Saturday

480
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:52.440
and do visits with alumni. And
yeah, definitely, when the teams do

481
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:59.200
well, there's there's definitely, you
know, a component of the alumni base

482
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:02.359
really big sports fans no matter what. They may not be giving back to

483
00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:06.440
the U of A that much,
but they're supporting the team that way.

484
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:14.240
So when when when you're in that
job do you. I mean Steve kind

485
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:15.640
of asked it, you know,
how much does that athletics play a party?

486
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:19.400
But you know, does the same
when it's not going well, right,

487
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:24.279
when you're going through a Kevin Sumlin
period or John Mackovic period, that

488
00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:30.240
support you know, and and and
how much hearder does it become? Yeah,

489
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:34.680
I don't, you know, it's
it's it's hard, but there's there's

490
00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:37.960
only certain things that I can even
answer, you know, and that even

491
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:42.160
I even know about. Fortunately I
missed the uh the Macovic. I think

492
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:47.799
I was still working during the Channel
nine but yeah, I mean, I'll

493
00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:52.359
give you an example. I mean
I was I was in Corvalles the weekend

494
00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:58.079
the whole Sean Miller story kind of
broke open. So there he was coaching

495
00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:01.880
Arizona Oregon State, and then the
next day he next two days later,

496
00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:06.680
he was not coaching the right Eugene. So I mean I was literally on

497
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:12.039
a Donor visit with people that weekend
when all that happened. So it's top

498
00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:14.440
of mind. I mean, that's
the first thing people want to talk about,

499
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:17.119
right, So it's definitely definitely prompt
definitely, you know, when when

500
00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:20.640
the news is big, they definitely
want to talk about it. Yeah,

501
00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:22.400
no doubt, no doubt, no
doubt. We only have like two minutes

502
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:25.279
left in the meantime. Will be
by you. We'll have you on a

503
00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:28.559
lot, probably the summer, because
you know how summers are in Tucson.

504
00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:31.559
Biggest stories that you missed, so
you covered and you you know, wish

505
00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:38.599
you could do it again. I
wouldn't, you know. Obviously winning the

506
00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:43.200
championship in ninety seven and still I
think going to be at the top of

507
00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:46.839
the list. I was lucky to
be with the Diamondbacks and two thousand and

508
00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:52.279
one for that, I was lucky
to be at some couple of Super Bowls

509
00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:54.559
and the finals. There were so
many good memories that I have and they're

510
00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:59.680
still etched in my mind. And
I can still remember interviewing Michael Jordan where

511
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:04.480
they the Sun, you know,
thirty years ago now over thirty. Yeah,

512
00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:07.319
you know, there were a lot
of a lot of great moments,

513
00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:10.119
and I was really fortunate to,
you know, thankful that Kagan, you

514
00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:14.559
know, gave me those opportunities all
those years. And that's kind of why

515
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:16.199
I stayed was that, you know, I knew there was going to be

516
00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:20.239
something around the bend just about every
year, especially with the U of A.

517
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:22.920
But then to mix in some of
the some of the big stories that

518
00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:28.599
happened in the States and to be
part of that was really really terrific.

519
00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:31.079
Yeah, all right, Dave,
well again, uh, you know,

520
00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:35.800
enjoy, stay busy. We'll see
you. One of us will see you

521
00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:38.000
back and forth because when I leave, he'll need you. Don't don't be

522
00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:43.320
having dinner at three o'clock in the
afternoon, and you know, just no

523
00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:49.280
tapioca, all that stuff. I'm
looking for all those early birds specials like

524
00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:51.559
that, you know. Yeah,
you know, well, you know,

525
00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:54.199
you know, Senior citizen discount at
the movies in the grocery store on Wednesday,

526
00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:57.400

Yeah, I've got I've got my

527
00:34:57.599 --> 00:35:01.480
ARP card. We'll be we'll be
pulling that thing out every once in a

528
00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:07.639
while, exactly. So Silver here, dear Silver, yeap up next.

529
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:08.920
Okay, all right, Dave,
Hey, thanks about man, it's good

530
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:13.119
to talk to you. We'll do
we'll talk again, Okay, thanks so

531
00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:16.559
much. So. Yeah, he's
one of he's a Brian Jeffers kind of

532
00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:20.000
guy. He still looks like he
I mean, the hair is a little

533
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:22.519
gray, but he still looks like
the guy he did, you know,

534
00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:24.559
thirty years ago, and he wasn't
one of the guys and we know who

535
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:28.800
they are. Uh, that was
a TV guy who was kind of like

536
00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:31.440
crazy out there. Yeah, no, he was. He was just a

537
00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:37.079
real steady, straightforward professional, good
reporter. Yeah, you know, you

538
00:35:37.159 --> 00:35:40.280
got good stories, you know from
from his stuff. Understood the community really

539
00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:44.199
well and which is probably why you
know, he did a good job in

540
00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:46.199
the jobs he had since then.
Just one of the good guys in town.

541
00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:49.360
So it's good to talk to him. Yeah, okay, all right,

542
00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:51.159

a look back at the Ludolsen era in

547
00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:07.920
my new book, Lessons from Loot. It was a labor of love through

548
00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:12.639
the eyes of twenty five former players, coaches, and friends to give insight

549
00:36:12.719 --> 00:36:15.639
to the coach and the man who
led them, competed against them, and

550
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:20.159
inspired them twenty five chapters for his
twenty five years as Arizona's beloved coach.

551
00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:23.280
Lessons from Loot is an insight to
how he built the program into a national

594
00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:37.320
cause like I was having this talking
about this the other night, saying,

595
00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:42.719
okay, Joe Montana, he's a
forty ninetyeesy right, you know,

596
00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:51.280
uh, well Jim Young Young Steve
j Steve forty nine PM Smith, Im

597
00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:55.679
Smith's a coboy, right of course? Yeah? What about Peyton Manning?

598
00:39:55.719 --> 00:39:59.800
Okay, that's when trying to come
up to pay name. I think he's

599
00:39:59.840 --> 00:40:01.719
a he's a cult, but depends, well, it depends what you talked

600
00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:05.599
to in this one, because if
but he's definitely, but if you talk

601
00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:07.960
to someone in Denver, you're like, oh, he's wrong. They want

602
00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:12.440
him to Yeah he's a cult,
Yeah, but he is, he's personally

603
00:40:13.119 --> 00:40:17.159
Tom Brady asked Tom Brady this,
yeah, yeah, but but that but

604
00:40:17.159 --> 00:40:20.880
but you know there's and then you
know you go, you know, okay,

605
00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:28.719
what's Lebron have? He's a calf
That's what Least said yesterday. Right.

606
00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:34.280
This conversation gets a lot harder when
you talk about like college people.

607
00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:37.079
Now, like you ask you ask
us, is Caleb of atarhoo or a

608
00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:43.119
wildcat? He's a tar? He
he's a hell if he comes back this

609
00:40:43.239 --> 00:40:46.840
year and they do something great,
he's then Yeah. And and DeAndre Ayton

610
00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:52.920
is persona non grata. He's nothing. He's nothing. He's nothing to me,

611
00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:57.400
just like some of those other Ring
of Honor guys Josh Green, Naji

612
00:40:57.639 --> 00:41:01.800
Stanley Johnson, Jared Bayless, who
else is up there? That's about right,

613
00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:05.440
you know, it's about right that
those guys are. Those guys are.

614
00:41:05.679 --> 00:41:07.920
That's tough because they didn't have well
this is on them that they decided

615
00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:12.880
just to go. And I think
that's hard too, because you have you

616
00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:16.559
have guys like Jason Terry that like
when you think about U of A guys

617
00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:22.960
you in the last what six years, you could probably only name five like,

618
00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:25.480
oh, these are like our guys
like that were super important for the

619
00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:30.599
U of A were great, And
moving forward, you're not going to be

620
00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:31.920
able to have a lot of You're
not gonna be able to say that about

621
00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:35.440
a lot of people. No,
not anymore, not with this this chance

622
00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:37.639
for stuff. No. Yeah,
the Bibby, well Bibby was for two

623
00:41:38.280 --> 00:41:44.159
Jason Terry miles. But baby stuck
baby was for two and he won championship.

624
00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:46.239
Let's take this hi you're on the
air and I on the ball.

625
00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:51.719
Hello, guys, haven't called for
a little while. Yes, we thought

626
00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:53.800
we lost you because the Suns had
lost you. Oh okay, Howard,

627
00:41:53.960 --> 00:41:59.719
Okay, Howard. The Sons have
They finished seven to three and they had

628
00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:04.360
the off his last ten games of
anyone. They beat the most teams since

629
00:42:04.360 --> 00:42:07.360
the All Star Break, but they
had nineteen wins. Okay, how do

630
00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:09.440
we want to bring We want to
bring you in on a conversation. We

631
00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:15.880
were just having Charles Charles Barkley.
Is he a son or a sixer?

632
00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:22.440
You know what they're gonna have to
say sixer and and like Brian said,

633
00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:25.679
you can say something funny and say
he was a rocket, right right right?

634
00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:35.000
I think he's a sixer sixer.
He had to win a championship with

635
00:42:35.079 --> 00:42:39.039
the Sons. What were you born? So he so he was already there

636
00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:45.960
six years by the time you were
born. Yeah, son, Steve Nash

637
00:42:45.760 --> 00:42:52.599
Averick the Sons are Gonnah the man. Well that's that question to how Howard

638
00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:58.400
is Steve Nash's son? Er and
Maverick? You know what, he actually

639
00:42:58.480 --> 00:43:01.239
has to be a son because he's
got to VP's with them. And it's

640
00:43:01.760 --> 00:43:06.360
just like Mark Cuban didn't sign him, and you know who's the other guy

641
00:43:06.519 --> 00:43:10.000
just recently he should have signed Who's
one of the I have to stay in

642
00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:15.920
the league Brunson. Oh my gosh, what a mistake. Yeah, yeah,

643
00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:20.079
yeah, Okay, Howard, do
you want to call him for something?

644
00:43:20.519 --> 00:43:22.840
Yeah, you want to talk about
Did you want to talk about your

645
00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:27.199
sons or what? Oh? Yeah, well, I mean I'm pretty excited

646
00:43:27.519 --> 00:43:30.840
they're they're a sixth seed. But
uh, you know it's at the end

647
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:37.400
of the year, the Golden State
Warriors, and that's that's to me team.

648
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:40.679
Steve doesn't have a team, but
by default, since he loves Steve

649
00:43:40.760 --> 00:43:45.039
Kerr, that's sort of his team. Yeah. No, Steve's team is

650
00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:46.440
whoerever he bet on. No,
I don't bet on NBA, and I

651
00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:52.119
don't bet on anybody this years.
Last year, though, didn't you he

652
00:43:52.159 --> 00:43:53.199
did. Yes, he puts a
little bit of money. Who's going to

653
00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:57.800
maybe win the championship of well shorter
odds or whatever. No, I do

654
00:43:58.000 --> 00:44:00.760
I do this in January or or
or in November. I didn't do it

655
00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:05.880
this year. I didn't feel any
anything for it this year, So I'm

656
00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:09.440
already I'm not really overlooking Minnesota.
But I'm looking forward to the play the

657
00:44:09.519 --> 00:44:14.960
Joker. And when we beat them
two times in Denver, they didn't have

658
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:20.440
Murray, so you can't really I'm
not sure they're going to get past Minnesota.

659
00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:23.800
Yeah, well, I don't like
that vibe. That's because Steve goes

660
00:44:23.840 --> 00:44:27.840
at one time during the season,
he goes, well, Minnesota is the

661
00:44:27.880 --> 00:44:30.400
best team by record, but there
they ended up in the what is it?

662
00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:37.880
Third seed? They're gonna, They're
gonna, it doesn't matter. They're

663
00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:40.320
on mashon here. The son's the
biggest problem the whole year. They don't

664
00:44:40.320 --> 00:44:45.119
really have a leader. Booker and
Durant are not a leader. Wine,

665
00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:52.960
let's put some there here here badly. Beal is starting to be the leader

666
00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:55.679
of the team. And that's if
you watch any of the games. So

667
00:44:55.800 --> 00:44:59.519
that's what they need as a leader. Are you trying to convince me or

668
00:44:59.519 --> 00:45:01.280
what are you trying to tell me? No, I'm just saying Jody Yadler,

669
00:45:01.719 --> 00:45:06.800
Jody the other yesterday, he was
great, but he doesn't watch him

670
00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:09.679
as close as me, just because
he talks about him. I've watched almost

671
00:45:09.679 --> 00:45:14.800
every minute. Okay, so you
after this series, you call in and

672
00:45:14.840 --> 00:45:19.119
apologize or all sat Howard, you
were right for the last time exactly.

673
00:45:19.320 --> 00:45:23.199
We'll call on and we'll we'll we'll
prognosticate and break down the next series.

674
00:45:25.159 --> 00:45:30.239
All right, thanks for listening to
you. He hadn't call it in a

675
00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:36.639
while. Okay, So you think
you think Barkley's a son solely because I

676
00:45:36.679 --> 00:45:39.800
was born and raised a Suns fan, And when you think about all time

677
00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:45.280
sons, Charles Barkley is one of
the first two or three names mentioned.

678
00:45:45.559 --> 00:45:49.400
And I think if you think about
all time sixers, you go Doctor J,

679
00:45:49.639 --> 00:45:52.639
you go Alan Iverson, and I
don't think he's mentioned in that realm

680
00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:57.039
as a sixer, as he is
a son. And this is like taking

681
00:45:57.039 --> 00:46:00.920
my son fandom away. I think
when you just look out from a basketball

682
00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:04.159
thing, their sense, I think
he's a son. What were you born

683
00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:07.920
ninety nine? Where were you born? Phoenix? Okay, there's you're you're

684
00:46:07.960 --> 00:46:09.800
eliminated from the jury pool. Oh
yeah, I agree, I agree,

685
00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:16.880
But I think it's it's a lot
because this show is in Philadelphia. He's

686
00:46:17.719 --> 00:46:22.639
a physical, He's a sixtion with
Doctor J and Moses Malone, all these

687
00:46:22.679 --> 00:46:25.719
guys. That's where he started.
That's where But the thing with the thing

688
00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:31.880
with that is Sixers basketball. Hi, you're on the Aaron Iron the bell.

689
00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:37.639
Hey guy, what's up this vin
Vick? What's going on? I

690
00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:42.519
kind of wanted to stay on the
topic and okay, just tell you it's

691
00:46:42.639 --> 00:46:45.400
kind of just so weird. You
know, back in the day when you

692
00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:50.000
guys are both writing, you actually
knew Sean All or felt like you knew

693
00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:58.599
him, like you knew Steve Kerr
personally. And nowadaves, you can't even

694
00:46:58.599 --> 00:47:02.519
buy a T shirt of a jury
the year or whatever you're right, nor

695
00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:06.840
do you want to right. It's
it's like, yeah, you get a

696
00:47:06.920 --> 00:47:10.199
jersey and they're not even there next
year. Yeah. I'll tell you a

697
00:47:10.239 --> 00:47:15.519
story. My daughters cried when Russell
Martin went free agency. We went to

698
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:19.639
a million Dodger getting. They actually
cried tears. They were little, and

699
00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:22.239
they couldn't they couldn't understand why he
left. I barely remember that guy.

700
00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:27.280
He was hardly a Dodger. He
was a Dodger. No, Russell Martin

701
00:47:27.360 --> 00:47:29.760
was a Dodger for a few you
know, Yeah, I mean I know

702
00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:32.800
I remember. But also that was
during that period that I was telling you

703
00:47:34.199 --> 00:47:39.880
that it was like the Dodgers were
kind of So is Piazza a Dodger or

704
00:47:39.880 --> 00:47:46.559
a met He's a man, a
man, and you're a Dodger guy.

705
00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:51.159
Right, Yeah, I'm a Dodger
guy. But he left us too,

706
00:47:51.199 --> 00:47:54.199
and then had some bad blood and
talked a little bit of grab. They

707
00:47:54.239 --> 00:47:59.639
actually don't even have a bobblehead or
or have him inducted into their stuff.

708
00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:02.639
All right, he's only been a
Dodger for like a few months. To

709
00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:07.119
show, hey, a Dodger or
an angel, I would, I would

710
00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:14.480
Dodger, and to exactly, he
did nothing wrong. He's a victim.

711
00:48:14.639 --> 00:48:22.039
He's a gosh. Okay, I'm
feeling sick from this Dodger love. But

712
00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:24.440
I can still buy a shan Alley
a jersey and I'm proud of it.

713
00:48:24.639 --> 00:48:28.760
There you go, There you go, hey man, thanks about you,

714
00:48:28.760 --> 00:48:35.280
man, taculator. I guess we'll
give victory trophy participation trophy. It's too

715
00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:38.199
funny. I love that. I
love that, all right? Okay,

716
00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:43.239
who else I was thinking? Jim
Plunkett, you don't know, Yeah,

717
00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:46.159
but he wasn't the raider Patriots.
Patriots came up. He came in with

718
00:48:46.199 --> 00:48:49.719
the Patriots. Oh, he came
in with the Patriots as I would have

719
00:48:49.800 --> 00:48:52.079
never known that. I don't think. No. Yeah, quarterbacks in my

720
00:48:52.159 --> 00:48:55.519
day, you know, they were
all together, you know, Starbach married.

721
00:48:55.559 --> 00:48:59.920
If all these guys were on one
team, one team, who can

722
00:49:00.039 --> 00:49:04.960
him in a quarterback to with with
the with the Cardinals to corner Carson Palmer.

723
00:49:05.000 --> 00:49:08.760
Carson Palmer, he's a Bengal Okay. I'm at the stadium final at

724
00:49:08.760 --> 00:49:12.320
the Final four yeah, okay,
and I'm like, he's up What the

725
00:49:12.360 --> 00:49:15.079
hell is Carson Palmer doing up in
the Ring of Honor? Because we went

726
00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:22.679
to two I think two NFC championship
games with him, NFC Championship game,

727
00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:25.119
one game from the Super Bowl,
one game from the Super Bowl we went

728
00:49:25.119 --> 00:49:29.119
to we went to at least one
with him, and we were going Google,

729
00:49:29.519 --> 00:49:31.960
I can't but we were going to
and then he broke his finger and

730
00:49:32.000 --> 00:49:36.519
we had to start Ryan Linley and
we got crushed by the Panthers. I

731
00:49:36.519 --> 00:49:40.039
couldn't even tell you who Ryan Lindley
exactly. That's okay. I saw his

732
00:49:40.119 --> 00:49:43.639
name of there, like, what
the hell is Palmer was? What?

733
00:49:43.679 --> 00:49:46.000
Ye was that? Because Warner took
him what fifteen years ago? Whatever?

734
00:49:47.039 --> 00:49:52.599
Warner on nine? Okay, Okay, chas Ago. We lost. We

735
00:49:52.039 --> 00:49:57.199
won the Super Bowl, but we
just didn't get the trophy and homes.

736
00:49:59.119 --> 00:50:06.800
It's one more less. You're on
the Aaron in the ball Yeah, Hi,

737
00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:12.199
I have a different twist to your
ball players and there in the in

738
00:50:12.199 --> 00:50:16.079
the ball team I think, I
mean, I'm gonna date myself. But

739
00:50:16.199 --> 00:50:21.599
I think of players like Manny Kolpak
with the Dodger, Bob Gets in the

740
00:50:21.599 --> 00:50:27.320
Cardinals and other guys. When I
think of him, like Barry Bonds,

741
00:50:27.320 --> 00:50:30.880
I think of big head. When
I think of when I think of Mark

742
00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:35.360
McGuire, I think of old runs, a steroids. I don't so much

743
00:50:35.480 --> 00:50:39.480
put them with the team or a
jersey on their back. Guys Mike Piazza,

744
00:50:39.599 --> 00:50:45.199
he's a great player. I don't
see him as a Dodger. I

745
00:50:45.320 --> 00:50:52.079
see him as a great catcher.
Okay, just a different quest. What

746
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:53.760
about it? Fair enough, he'll
give you your name. Here's Pete Rose.

747
00:50:55.039 --> 00:51:00.800
Oh yeah that's but he also did
the and he played with the expos

748
00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:05.360
Even I can tell you that.
Yeah. Yeah. Also think of a

749
00:51:05.400 --> 00:51:09.679
gambler Rogers exactly exactly. All right, great, good good stuff. Those

750
00:51:09.679 --> 00:51:14.840
were those are some good Really enjoyed
your interview. With Dave. Oh,

00:51:14.880 --> 00:51:16.679

752
00:51:16.719 --> 00:51:23.519
for a while, being that you
brought up Cofax and Marshall. Yeah,

753
00:51:24.280 --> 00:51:30.079

755
00:51:35.480 --> 00:51:37.480
And think about Marshall. Okay,
he's a giant. Yeah, he played

756
00:51:37.519 --> 00:51:39.960
for the Dodgers at one point.
Well, at the end of his career,

757
00:51:40.280 --> 00:51:44.559
Willie May's giant went to the match. Well, is is Bonds a

758
00:51:44.679 --> 00:51:50.760
giant or a pirate? See so
you're not close enough to know. I

759
00:51:50.760 --> 00:51:58.000
don't know. He's dead to me
is what he is. But I do

760
00:51:58.039 --> 00:51:59.920
you think he should not be in
the Hall of Fame? I do not.

761
00:52:01.440 --> 00:52:07.119
He's throwing his headphones. He's throwing
the headphone. Stayed for an hour
