welcome too cool and again here at
the Flying b Oh wow, Okay,

9
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:48.000
there's some all there's some really old
people who remember the Midnight Guy. Oh

10
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:53.840
yeah, yeah kt kt ke Richard
Smith. And he would kind of he

11
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.119
was the DJ and like a lot
you know, a lot of souls,

12
00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:00.000
soul stuff in the seventies, eighties, seventies. It was back when I

13
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.560
was in high school and we played, uh, we would play poker,

14
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:06.200
you know, would do our Friday
night poker games. Would turn him on

15
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:08.840
all night long, man, night
long. He Richard Smith. He ended

16
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:14.959
up being a a a pastor here
in town. I met him. I

17
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.200
ran into him at a funeral.
What was his name, t Richard Smith?

18
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.760
But but he was pastor Thomas R. Smith. Oh, it's you

19
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:25.640
know what, before you go into
this, I thought you were gonna say

20
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:29.760
somebody else. But did you ever
get the black angus? Yes, back

21
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:32.319
in the day of the music there
was a dude that there was. I

22
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:34.319
thought you could see the dancers.
He didn't agic on the dance flow.

23
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:40.760
Not that. Okay, All right, here we go. This is high

24
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:47.319
on the balls on Fox Sports fourteen
fifty. Oh okay. I went and

25
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:49.040
read that letter that we talked about
that. It was sent by T.

26
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:56.760
J. Schope, Republican Senate President
pro tempore at at the State Legislature,

27
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.719
the letter to Fred Duvall, chairman
of the Board of Regents. I won't

28
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:07.759
read the whole letter, but it
was basically wanting to know what the Border

29
00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:15.319
Regents can and should do about what
the letter calls the questionable hiring of mister

30
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:20.000
Anderson's Ray Anderson's friend and former client
HERM. Edwards as a head football coach,

31
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.599
and the buyout and then the self
imposed band Bixy says, I could

32
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:28.840
go on forever about the questionable,
unless than flattering incidents related in miss vanderds

33
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:30.879
the tenure, but there are plenty
of websites already devoted to laying out that

34
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:35.159
track record. Instead, I would
like answers to what the board has done

35
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.840
or plans to do, to investigate
what happened, why it happened, should

36
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:43.960
it have happened, or to possibly
hold someone accountable for the following. Why

37
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.520
did a SU pay HERM Edwards four
point four million dollars in a biot agreement

38
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.560
instead of firing him for cause for
the recruiting violations that occurred while he was

39
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.960
head coach? If the right decision
was to allow for the BIOT agreement in

40
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.919
the fall of twenty twenty two,
what has as you learned in the time

41
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:05.280
since then that then led to the
decision to now self impose a ball band?

42
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:09.840
And TODAYSU intentionally announced the bull band
after the April twenty twenty three undergraduate

43
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:15.960
transfer portal deadline in an effort to
prevent players from leaving the university after receiving

44
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:22.520
this information. Oh, three simple, simple, three three simple questions that

45
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.080
are probably very easy to answer,
but probably won't be. They won't be,

46
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:30.919
at least not publicly. You know, but you you would think I

47
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:34.960
know, maybe somebody does us an
FOI, you know, a Freedom of

48
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.879
Information Act looking for emails and stuff
like that that addresses all this, and

49
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:43.319
the border regions can just say you
got to give this to us right now.

50
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.560
And who know what. I don't
know what the board readions can or

51
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:52.039
would do in this situation. It's
already up. Yeah, he did address.

52
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:53.599
He said, what you know,
why you know why am I sending

53
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:59.520
this to UH to UH, to
the border regions instead of President Michael Crowe?

54
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:04.560
And he and he quotes the sad
the the Arizona Revised Statutes in terms

55
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:11.240
of the border regents governance of the
university said, the sad reality is that

56
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:15.520
I have lost faith that action will
be taken at the university level given the

57
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:18.399
near decade of inaction during mister Anderson's
tenure. Which is why I look to

58
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:23.199
you. Yeah, it makes sense, makes sense. I think all good

59
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:27.439
questions all if you're a fan.
If you're a fan, you're thinking the

60
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.000
same thing, aren't you. Yeah, and you know what the last thing

61
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.680
you need if you're Michael Crowe is
to have this. Yeah. How old

62
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:39.600
is he? Oh? Something he's
in the you know, Robbie Robins.

63
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:46.480
Probably the mid to late sixties maybe, yeah, well up until this last

64
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.519
few years. I mean he's been
respected like crazy, right, but but

65
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:56.120
you know, backing backing the former
the former commissioner book, he's done great

66
00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:00.560
stuff at the a su is really
you know, it's a huge university,

67
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.560
a massive school. He's done some
great He's sixty seven, you know,

68
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.680
I mean, he well respected guy. I mean across the board, the

69
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:14.639
lines of communication that have opened up
between all three state universities to working together

70
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.839
the way they have been. And
I do I say this from you know,

71
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:20.839
my my my business reporting background that
I've had, you know, with

72
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:26.279
this Tucson is that he's credited for
a lot of that, you know,

73
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:29.240
instead of having instead of working against
each other, working with each other.

74
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.959
He's done a lot of that.
But this is really weighing down what his

75
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:39.319
legacy ultimately might be and whether he
gets fired or not, or gets asked

76
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.720
to leave or not or whatever,
this is gonna hang on it. Do

77
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.399
you think too that I want to
go to the breaking news anyway, but

78
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:51.040
do you think guys of this or
importance or whatever success give a crap about

79
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:56.600
their action? I won't say that
the response give or care about their legacy.

80
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:00.040
I think some dude, right,
I think some dude and I you

81
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.240
know, and I think probably most
who reach this level they want to leave

82
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:08.839
it better than they got it,
no questions, right, no question And

83
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:12.680
so they when they leave, they
want to be well spoken of. Look

84
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:16.160
and you look in a position like
this, you're gonna have detractors. Stuff's

85
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:19.720
gonna happen, that's gonna that's gonna
hurt you. You know, Robbie Robbins

86
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:24.759
has got some stuff, you know, you know, the shooting of the

87
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:30.240
of the professor and and and they
say safety lapses and stuff like that.

88
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:33.279
You know, that'll but it's something
some of these things that hang on you

89
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:39.240
are bigger than others and the avoidable, right, And in the end,

90
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.319
it's like, Okay, when you
think about somebody's tenure at at a university

91
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.199
or whatever, what's the first thing
you think of? This may ultimately be

92
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.839
the first thing that people think of
is all this crap that has happened,

93
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:55.959
both in that the pack Off conference
died on his watch and all that they

94
00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:00.519
won't be in his epitaph. But
but but we gotta call okay, let's

95
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.920
take this call. Hi you're on
the air and I on the ball.

96
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:13.920
Are you guys talking about sanctions that
as Yeah, yeah, let's team money

97
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:18.000
a one name. A decade when
the issue football has not been in hot

98
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:21.959
water for you know, breaking the
rules, it just seems like the reoccurring

99
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.560
theme at tempting normal. And I
don't know why, uh, you know

100
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.920
why we're surprised going to happen.
It happens all the time. Everyzona state

101
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.800
is known for this. And I
don't know how any ASU fan can look

102
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:40.920
themselves in the mirror at any time
during any season, but especially during football

103
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:43.839
season when I do stuff like this, You don't, I don't know,

104
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.720
Well, I think, yeah,
I mean it's certain they certainly have the

105
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:51.160
reputation of doing that, whether it's
was football or something else. But to

106
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:56.759
me, the bigger issue is at
the at the highest level of the administration

107
00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:00.519
really with a guy like Michael Crowe, who I feel it's really changed the

108
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:05.199
image of ASU that he let this
go on, and that's on that it's

109
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.920
on his watch that this stuff is
happening, and that it's kind of being

110
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.639
let God, how old are you
but forty something? Yeah, I'm a

111
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.639
millennial for sure. Oh, millennial. Okay, so so what do you

112
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.399
remember because I got here in eighty
seven Frank Cush was kind of at the

113
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:24.759
end of end and he didn't have
anything bad, did he was No,

114
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.920
he got he got fired because he
punched a player. Oh yeah, but

115
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.960
no, okay, the rules breaking
up. No punch the player. No,

116
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:35.440
that's what I'm saying. I mean, I mean these guys and in

117
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:41.440
basketball program they're shaving points. Like
every time you turn around an issue in

118
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:46.440
some kind of little article off to
the side. But it's another ANTIBA violation,

119
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:50.039
or you know, kids getting punched, or you know the number one

120
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:56.720
party school in the universe. Well
there's that. Is that the boide there

121
00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:01.919
is that? There is that,
right all right, thanks about to appreciate

122
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:05.639
it. So that goes to the
top, right, Yeah, that goes

123
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.879
to the very top. Okay,
Steve and I did not get to go

124
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.399
to this. Dave Hickey had had
a session with the media today. We

125
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:18.159
were busy doing some uh some Draft
Kings duties, so I had to sit

126
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:22.679
in on a meeting with our Draft
Kings people. But the only things that

127
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.240
I've seen coming out of the meeting
is that uh uh, Dave Hickey was

128
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:30.559
asked about naming rights for Arizona Stadium
and other venues. Thanks to Justine Spears

129
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.639
for posting this, because you know, ASU just got its just named.

130
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:39.759
It's uh, it's uh Stadium.
The arena has been named a couple of

131
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.840
times, right, it was Wells
Fargo for the longest time. The quote

132
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:48.440
from from Dave Hickey was that I
foresee us continuing to move in that direction.

133
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.559
We'll make sure that we can put
together an appropriate naming opportunity for our

134
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:56.879
stadiums and arenas, but that it's
something that they could probably see themselves doing

135
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:03.320
eventually before you before you pass or
not. Oh, I think they'll name

136
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:05.360
the stadium in the next couple of
years, you know. He said,

137
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:11.279
they've been and he said, Dave
said, and I listened to the actual

138
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:13.960
video clip. They've been there.
They've been talking about this for a while.

139
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:18.759
This isn't brand new. I think
he's just acknowledging that they're getting closer

140
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.879
to doing this. I could see
us on a stadium getting name. Well,

141
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.240
there's so many things going on in
the next campus with that. And

142
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:28.960
then I did the story for you
guys on the that area whole corner you

143
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:31.919
talked about that today too. For
the business side, they're going to try

144
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:37.440
to do more more student athlete friendly, right. They want to build a

145
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:43.960
whole sort of a commercial area in
that corner around Campbell and around Campbell and

146
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:48.240
stay there, I mean Campbell and
Street there, you know, and and

147
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.240
they want to kind of incorporate all
the athletics stuff there for fans, for

148
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:58.440
students, for athletes, for everybody. It's that I don't see how well

149
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:01.399
it may happen in my lifetime,
but I'm gonna be I'm gonna be too

150
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:03.919
old to go hang at the bar, you know, you creepy old dude,

151
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:09.639
you know, coming in with a
walker always. Guy, I'll give

152
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.559
me at light is a wing,
but can you cut up the wings for

153
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:20.960
me, please, sir? That's
why we had both. Oh my god,

154
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:24.519
I can't believe we're talking about this. All right? Uh, okay,

155
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.799
we go out. We've all have
gotten through two items. You We're

156
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:30.919
running out of time, all right. A couple of a couple of college

157
00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:35.320
football music. Cam Rising, the
returning quarterback for for Utah, will not

158
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:39.159
play on tomorrow night against Florida.
He's got needs some more time to recoup

159
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.840
from his knee injury. That he
got during the Rose Bowl. Uh So,

160
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:48.360
according to sports Betting Dying, which
is you know, Jack McGruder and

161
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.559
his group, Uh, Utah's the
point spayers dropped from Utah minus six and

162
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.039
a half to Utah minus four and
a half. I'm still not touching that

163
00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:00.679
game. I mean, they've got
a couple of quarterbacks who play, but

164
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:05.759
nonetheless it's not your starting quarterback.
H that that that's out there. Did

165
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.960
you see Nebraska He's gonna play a
volleyball match in the middle of their football

166
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.279
field and they sold ninety thousand tickets
in this thing. Yeah, I saw

167
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:18.440
that gonna be a world record.
Of course, obviously they are what they

168
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:22.559
are what Arizona basketball would love to
be. Yeah, if they've talked about

169
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.320
that right over, we're not playing
the game outdoors, out out of the

170
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:28.679
stadium or even having red blue out
there and just kind of something like that,

171
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:33.960
and that would be fun. That
would be especially in the heat here

172
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:37.039
in October. Never the brick wasn't
you know. And again I'm sure a

173
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:39.519
lot of this is you know,
people be part of history. They said,

174
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.279
Okay, I was there for that
kind of thing, but you know,

175
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:46.960
its sounds or something like that.
So where were you where? I

176
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:48.519
know we're gonna go over were We
talked about a lot of stuff after Where

177
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:50.960
were you when they had the didn't
the bet? Who who came in?

178
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:58.720
The who came into the stadium for
a control? I did not go because

179
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.759
seventy five. So if you were
fifteen sixteen, sixteen seventy and there was

180
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.159
a lot of people, there were
sixty seven thousand, that's probably the most

181
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:11.080
ever that's ever been in that stadium. Yeah, because a lot of funny

182
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:16.240
stories coming out of that. I
didn't go because at my job, I

183
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.440
didn't get my my request in to
have the night off. So give me

184
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:24.000
a funny story. The week after
the factory, Yeah, some some some

185
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:28.559
pot grew out of the out of
the turf. Yeah yeah, uh,

186
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:33.039
you know they tore up the field
people, and I mean the concert lasted

187
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.080
all day. What was it was? It was? It wasn't it was

188
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:39.600
in the heat. It was it
was really so it was in the summer.

189
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:43.360
It was before football, but before
football season. And that's why the

190
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.399
funny thing about the players are out
there, you know, little pot things

191
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:52.240
kept popping up. That's pretty on
the field. They ultimately completely took the

192
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:58.480
field out. I think during Dick
Tomy's time, they brought they brought turf

193
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.759
in from from Tucson, nash And
that was the turf at the state for

194
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.399
a while though, but that was
ten years later. Yeah, that was

195
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:07.600
much. That was much later,
but that was that. That was a

196
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.440
big funny thing, is that how
much pot grew out of it, out

197
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:16.200
of the out of the turf that
year. That's literally, hey, we

198
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.720
gotta you probably have a few more. There was a few more things.

199
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:20.799
We got some you know, we
can talk about some more stuff, but

200

college football starting in Arizona. Yes,

285
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:47.599
yes, two years ago we had
you on and we're talking, okay,

286
00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:51.440
any us coming down, They're gonna
play Arizona, and then we saw what

287
00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:53.799
we saw and were you down here
at the time. I can't remember,

288
00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:00.279
Yeah, yeah, yeah, what
did you think? I thought that it

289
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:06.440
was a crazy game. You know, obviously Arizona was in the midst of

290
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:10.680
a big it was the twenty games
or something like that that they lost,

291
00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:15.640
right, Nau was kind of you
know, rising a little bit. It

292
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.160
was. It was just a crazy
environment. I've talked to a lot of

293
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:22.160
the guys. I'm still covering the
team pretty heavily, and the guys that

294
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:26.920
were around for that game still to
remember it fondly. I'm sure the you

295
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:30.599
know, the Wildcats fans would prefer
to let that one go. That's why

296
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:34.079
they're playing again two years later.
Yeah. No, well I know that

297
00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:37.759
the Arizona fans like me, will
never let that one go. That hang

298
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:41.000
I mean that really hangs out there, like the seventy to seven lost to

299
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:45.720
a SU It's just like a black
mark on on the program that will never

300
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:48.440
go away. And not to you
know, not to badmouth to NAU,

301
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:51.440
but Arizona's supposed to be a NAU
and they didn't. And uh, you

302
00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:52.279
know, good for those guys.
I mean, in the end, you're

303
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:56.039
excited for the guys from an AU
to have had that experience. But you

304
00:21:56.079 --> 00:22:03.319
know, from that, was there
any uh did it add any momentum to

305
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:07.440
the program? You know certain guys, you know what was the aftermath of

306
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:12.880
that for the program? So it
was weird because they ended up that year

307
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:17.680
five and six, which is,
you know, not anything to write home

308
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:22.880
about. It's not terrible, but
they actually struggled a little bit in conscious

309
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:25.680
play that year, and then last
year they went three and eight, only

310
00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:27.440
won two games in conferance, So
it wasn't like, you know, what

311
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:32.400
set off this giant streak of Williams
or anything like that. It was a

312
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:37.960
big moment. But coach Chris Ball
has actually talked a lot about how the

313
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:45.160
team has struggled after big victory last
year they beat and Houston which was one

314
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:51.119
of the best teams in FCS the
year before had won the Spring Championship,

315
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:56.160
and then two years later and you
beat them in Houston and you know,

316
00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:59.480
follows up with a couple of stinkers
in a row. And so that's been

317
00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:03.319
a big thing, is you know, they get these potentially program changing wins

318
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:07.279
and then don't follow it up with
success later down the road. So if

319
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:10.680
it has the potential to mean something, but they have to follow it up.

320
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:15.559
So how are they looking at this
game on Saturday? Two partably very

321
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:19.559
different lineups, rosters and things like
that. Yeah, that's exactly right.

322
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:25.279
I mean there are guys around from
two years ago, but the same with

323
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:29.119
Arizona. The teams have both changed
so much and that's partially because of the

324
00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:34.440
transfer portal and recruiting and everything like
that. They look better. Coach Balls

325
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:37.519
thinks that's the best team he's had
in is four or five years there,

326
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:45.119
but that just could be coached speak. You never know. They have started

327
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:48.680
to get things ready. That got
a good receiving core is kind of their

328
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:56.000
their biggest thing that you ot to
solid group of linemen. But it's going

329
00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:00.440
to be it's going to hold new
transition because it's such a new roster.

330
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.400
I'm sure it's the same thing with
Wildcats. Yeah, no, it is.

331
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:06.599
But you know, how how is
it? How has that any you

332
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:10.559
been able to kind of manage through
the portal because you know, you know

333
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:14.519
Arizona to a degree as a team, you know they lose guys to the

334
00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:18.240
programs above them, and certainly you
know you're at an EU. You develop

335
00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:21.279
a player he looks really good,
somebody sees him and says, well,

336
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:23.720
we're gonna we're gonna pick that guy
out of there. How has that any

337
00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:27.559
of you been able to kind of
manage through all that stuff, both keeping

338
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:32.519
players and then going out and getting
players. Yeah, so that's the thing

339
00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:36.599
is, it's it's a balance,
right because you mentioned it exactly there.

340
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:38.920
There hasn't been a ton, but
there's been a few guys like their quarterback

341
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:41.960
R. J. Martinez, who
came in two years ago in the middle

342
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:47.279
of the game and played incredibly well
against Arizona. I helped Anau get to

343
00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:51.119
win. He moved on. Now
he's at Baylor after a couple of good

344
00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:53.039
seasons here. He was a star
or any of you for two years,

345
00:24:53.079 --> 00:25:00.880
and now he is playing and is
playing in a big Power five conference.

346
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:03.640
Who knows that Power five are going
to exist anymore in a couple of years.

347
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:08.279
But besides the point, but you're
playing at Baylor, and the thing

348
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:14.200
is that they, like Arizona has
tried to get a lot of hometown I

349
00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:18.000
know that the Wildcats have gotten a
lot of guys from other programs that either

350
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:25.079
played high school or have some sort
of Arizona ties and gotten them to switch

351
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:30.039
over and transfer over to their school. And it's kind of doing the same

352
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:33.519
thing they're you know, they're getting
a lot of guys who, you know,

353
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:37.000
maybe didn't play as much as they
wanted at a Power five program or

354
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:41.160
a bigger, you know, higher
caliber school. They got a guy in

355
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:45.640
Kay Milner who was at Cow for
a couple of years as a quarterback.

356
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:49.119
Friend Springing played high school football and
Gilbert at Hickley High. And so it's

357
00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:52.240
been a lot of, you know, a lot of similarities and that they're

358
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:57.680
trying to get people to come and
you know, play for what they call

359
00:25:57.759 --> 00:26:04.599
a hometown team. So what's the
projections for NAU this year? The conference

360
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:07.319
has been pretty low. If they
took a vote a couple of weeks ago,

361
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.680
they were predicted to go eight in
the conference. That I think it's

362
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:15.279
ten or eleven teams, so not
super high from other teams. And that's

363
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:18.799
possibly because they went three and eight
last year. It you know, have

364
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:22.119
such a new roster, but they
seem to think they're going to do pretty

365
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:29.000
well. I would be surprised if
it's a giant winning percentage, but you

366
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:32.039
know, maybe a little bit of
improved. So what are they going to

367
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:36.599
look like? You know, the
style offense or the defensive team? Are

368
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:38.359
they gonna throw the ball all over
the place? Uh, you know what

369
00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:44.240
do we expect to see? So
offensively, it's it's hard to tell.

370
00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:48.279
It's got a bunch of great receivers, three or four guys that could see

371
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:55.200
legitimately all conference in the Big Skies, depending on how how it shakes out

372
00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:59.880
on their receiving corps. And they've
got a real group of deep running back

373
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:04.400
and that there's two or three guys
that could all start. If the question

374
00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:08.720
whether their offensive line holds up because
they lost basically everybody from last year,

375
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:14.519
and then it's a quarterback battle.
They have not for jet they have not

376
00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:19.359
a fully decided. I'm sure they
have internally, but they haven't let everybody

377
00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:23.359
know on a starting quarterback yet,
and so it depends it. Could it

378
00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:26.599
be Angel Flores who's been in the
program a year, Could it be Kay

379
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:33.000
Milner who's a pale transfer. Or
they have a freshman Adam Demante, who's

380
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:36.519
been playing pretty well. So I
think it depends on who's going to be

381
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:41.480
the starter there and the different styles. Defensively, it's a whole new group.

382
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:48.160
They have got some really good defensive
lineman who could who could cause the

383
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:52.559
problems up front, But it's the
question of whether the defensive backs and linebackers

384
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:55.240
could hold up too. I'm not
sure how well you can answer this question.

385
00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:59.039
It's probably a fullish question anyway.
But Saturday should the weather should be

386
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:02.839
okay for two but not so okay
for NYU people. You guys live in

387
00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:11.720
a in the climate controlled seventy two
degrees. I hate you factor. I

388
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:17.319
mean, I wouldn't be surprised.
I went to Arizona State for my for

389
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:21.480
my school in college, and I
remember games where I'm sitting there in the

390
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:23.920
beginning of the season, it's one
hundred and two in the stands. It's

391
00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:29.759
going to be like that in Tucson
two it's some days and you know it's

392
00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:32.880
tough, and on that perfect it's
even hotter. I wouldn't be surprised if

393
00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:40.440
it has some sort of factor we
cast here, but they they're trying to

394
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:42.480
play it in practice and at least
the hottest time we can at this part

395
00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:48.000
town. Are there need Tucson guys
that you can think of that we can

396
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:51.039
expect to, uh, you know, either make an impact or see on

397
00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:55.640
the field. So the one actually
I interviewed him today named Daniel or Blaedo.

398
00:28:55.759 --> 00:29:02.039
He played for in Tucson a few
years ago. He is uh,

399
00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:06.559
he wants to community college and then
he spent two years at Missoo before turnings

400
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:10.759
Frink into NAU. He's a defensive
lineman, new to NAU this year,

401
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:12.799
So I'm not sure exactly where it'll
be on the depth sharp, but I

402
00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:17.039
wouldn't be surprised. Did he gets
some playing time? Did he play in

403
00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:21.039
high school here? Yeah, he
played in high school and two sons okay,

404
00:29:21.079 --> 00:29:25.000
and that's part of the only one
that seems I have more. No,

405
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:27.319
yeah, they have a few others, but he's the one that subjects

406
00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:32.799
to just the most employment from time
he played at U at Troya Okay,

407
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:36.359
okay, very cool. Yeah yeah, So they've got a couple other freshman

408
00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:41.519
or redshirt freshman from there, but
I wouldn't I wouldn't guess that they're going

409
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:44.079
to be on the field of fun. Yeah, okay, you I assume

410
00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:47.720
you're coming down again. I'm hoping
too, Yeah, yeah, okay,

411
00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:49.000
all right, okay, Well,
we're looking forward to it. You know,

412
00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:52.599
we're just happy the football seasons on. Right if you're sitting here,

413
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:56.880
you know in Pact twelve countries like
dang everything that you know, what's happening

414
00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:00.079
in the last year. How has
that been taking up there at NAU,

415
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:03.559
do you guys, uh, you
know, talk about it much, think

416
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:07.519
about it much, or don't give
one crap about So it's interesting because we

417
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:15.599
actually so coach Chris Ball has a
weekly Zoom press conference every Monday, and

418
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:19.519
some people were actually asking him about
that because you know, it tangentially affects

419
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:23.279
NAU, but because they're big sky
in FDS. It doesn't, It isn't

420
00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:29.119
the same thing. But what it
means is, potentially people get frustrated at

421
00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:33.720
whatever's happening at these power whatever it
ends up being power five, power four,

422
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:37.119
and maybe they want to play it
somewhere where it's a little bit more

423
00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:41.039
stable, and you don't, you
know, necessarily have to deal with a

424
00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:45.960
different conference every few years. So
it's potentially means something down the road.

425
00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:49.559
It's hard to tell, but it
doesn't affect them too much, but it

426
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:53.000
could in the future. Well,
Eric, we appreciate your time. Enjoy

427
00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:56.960
the weather, what you can up
there. If you can drive down here

428
00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:59.279
on Saturday, it's not gonna be
that bad. It actually can be very

429
00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:03.160
low nineties. So actually, I'm
not gonna say pleasant, but it's gonna

430
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:10.400
be not horrible. Sounds like a
plan, Thank you, Thank you.

431
00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:12.880
Will Uh he had to get somewhere
too with No, that's cool. I

432
00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:18.960
come on, if they lose again, No, you know, I'm no,

433
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:22.119
it's just no, no. But
I would have told you this two

434
00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:23.960
years ago. I no, no, I know, I know, I

435
00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:26.920
just no, just no. I
hear you, I hear you. I

436
00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:30.480
don't describe it in fact, in
fact, giving your prediction in terms of

437
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:38.359
spread, they'll have one will because
it's an FCS versus FBS. Sometimes they'll

438
00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:41.000
put one up on Saturday or the
day of the game. Okay, you're

439
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:45.279
looking at what more than thirty?
Yeah, I you know, I look,

440
00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:49.640
I think that there's a recognition that
Arizona could put a lot of points

441
00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:53.079
on the board, and so that
it may be that, you know,

442
00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:57.279
that they think that Arizona will be
able to score kind of kind of at

443
00:31:57.279 --> 00:32:02.559
will. Whether or not that in
fact is true, I don't know,

444
00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:07.440
but so that I think there'll be
a you know, a feeling that Arizona

445
00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:10.480
does get you know, just get
just get a bunch of points up there.

446
00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:15.359
But you know, the question will
be, you know, it's defense.

447
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:17.200
Yeah, okay, just a reminder
too. I just gotta note from

448
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:21.359
Nick. We're not gonna be on
Monday, right, all right, Yeah,

449
00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:23.720
we need it, that's right.
Uh, Monday's labor day. We're

450
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:30.319
gonna take the day off to enjoy
our labor. You just don't go into

451
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:36.480
labor, You'll be funny. I'm
along past that. I can't I can't

452
00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:39.799
go into it. But yeah,
we'll be off on Monday, and then

453
00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:44.839
we'll be back, uh, you
know, on Tuesday to really just kind

454
00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:46.640
of recap everything that you know,
happened over the weekend. I think it'll

455
00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:50.680
be just a lot of stuff,
you know, I'll be tailgating and so

456
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:54.240
we'll see what the atmosphere is is
out there. I'm interested to know,

457
00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:58.920
you know, it's funny first tailgate
because we have a goal. We don't

458
00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:00.000
want to be out by the tennis
courts when we tailgate. We want to

459
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:02.480
be in the middle of where all
the tailgate is. But you kind of

460
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:07.319
have to gauge, you know what, what's the latest you can come and

461
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:09.000
still sit, you know, still
be in a have a good spot.

462
00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:12.759
And so we're kind of guessing.
But we'll see what. We'll see how

463
00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:15.720
it goes. Look, I mean
when tom not Tommy what's his name?

577
00:41:43.719 --> 00:41:47.440
of that. There was the College

578
00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:51.559
the big issues, it's the only
big dissues you gotta, resolves the TV

579
00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:55.400
stuff. And there's a lot of
discussion going into it that they were gonna

580
00:41:55.480 --> 00:42:01.880
want the TV Contract Act to include
a bunch of different networks. It's kind

581
00:42:01.920 --> 00:42:06.800
of like the NFL playoffs does,
because NFL Playoffs are They're on CBS,

582

583
00:42:13.559 --> 00:42:16.360
they're saying that that's not such a
sure thing anymore, and don't be surprised

584
00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:22.079
if it's maybe one or two networks
showing all of the college football cog.

00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:01.960
The whole issue money is all that
money? What are you gonna do

595
00:43:01.960 --> 00:43:06.519
with that money? Oregon State and
Washington State want to hang on to that

596
00:43:06.599 --> 00:43:08.239
money. Sure, you know,
whether however much of it they get,

597
00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:13.599
but they feel that they can attract
some teams into a new pack twelve with

598
00:43:13.800 --> 00:43:15.559
that money. You see, he
think, of course, yeah, we'll

599
00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:21.079
see, just see Nick Saban,
did you think he won't release the depth

600
00:43:21.199 --> 00:43:25.039
chart because he thinks that that he
was talking to me? Guys like you,

601
00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:29.280
you know, make a big deal
out of it when you know,

602
00:43:29.519 --> 00:43:31.320
becaus like the media. Yeah,
okay, you know, make a big

603
00:43:31.360 --> 00:43:34.440
deal out of it when that you
know, he said, you know,

604
00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:37.559
the depth chart can change five minutes
before the game. But yet, you

605
00:43:37.639 --> 00:43:40.880
know, you'll see this guy was
supposed to start, and somebody else starts

606
00:43:40.920 --> 00:43:45.800
and you think something's wrong. And
he said, you guys kind of abuse

607
00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:47.639
it as sort of the way he
put it. So, so he just

608
00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:51.760
doesn't want to put out a depth
chart because he doesn't want anybody making a

609
00:43:51.800 --> 00:43:53.800
big deal about this. You know, this guy's starting over this guy,

610
00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:57.920
but he hasn't thought about this,
he hasn't done this before, or no,

611
00:43:58.039 --> 00:43:59.840
this is the first time he's done. So there's gonna be more too.

612
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:02.480
But well, they've got a quarterback
bad they got three quarterbacks. That's

613
00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:07.039
so he didn't want very you know, everybody's saying it's about the quarterback.

614
00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:09.199
He doesn't want to say, well, this quarterback is the starter, he

615
00:44:09.280 --> 00:44:12.760
said. He kind of say said, look, you know, we may

616
00:44:12.840 --> 00:44:15.159
have a guy who starts, but
by the end of the game he might

617
00:44:15.239 --> 00:44:19.599
not be there. Isn't that how
every game? It's it's funny these guys,

618
00:44:19.840 --> 00:44:23.360
the coaches. The coaches think that
the reporters overthink, and the reporters

619
00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:30.119
think that the coaches overthink and can't
we just get along? But I was

620
00:44:30.159 --> 00:44:35.679
gonna say, here was an instant
instance where to something and we can bag

621
00:44:35.719 --> 00:44:37.239
on something. We do it all
the time. Where after a game and

622
00:44:37.280 --> 00:44:40.079
I've never seen this, Jay,
I've never seen this until something. So

623
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:43.960
he plays the game, right,
he plays the game. How do you

624
00:44:44.079 --> 00:44:47.000
think Khalil did well? I can't
really talk about that because in the film,

625
00:44:47.159 --> 00:44:51.119
what the hell did you just watch? What did you just want?

626
00:44:51.239 --> 00:44:53.719
He was on the bench smoke,
can't watch And then I asked him the

627
00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:57.679
questions, maybe mistakenly two or three
games anyway, So what did you see?

628
00:44:58.559 --> 00:45:02.000
I don't do that? What what? Yeah, it doesn't make sense

629
00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:06.280
to me, And I get coaches
do that, but they at least have

630
00:45:06.960 --> 00:45:09.199
an impression, sure, right,
Sure, they at least have a bit

631
00:45:09.280 --> 00:45:14.400
of an impression. They don't completely
say. I don't know what I saw.

632
00:45:14.480 --> 00:45:16.440
I'll find out more than the tape. But to me, he couldn't

633
00:45:16.440 --> 00:45:21.079
have done this better. Boom,
it's over right. I don't I don't

634
00:45:21.079 --> 00:45:22.440
get it. I don't get it. But to me, it's a little

635
00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:28.960
controlish. Controlish. He was,
well, it's next saving I got a

636
00:45:29.000 --> 00:45:31.920
bad word. It's kind of like
a control thing too, when you're making

637
00:45:31.960 --> 00:45:35.400
four and a half million, whatever
you're making. I guess I would be

638
00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:37.519
a little that way too. Don't
talk to me, to me with with

639
00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:43.400
just him, just him. He
didn't want to work hard enough to think

640
00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:46.119
about it in the moment. Well, that's a good observation. That's didn't

641
00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:52.360
he just he didn't want to have
to come up with an answer because he

642
00:45:52.480 --> 00:45:54.079
was just too damn lazy to do
it. He didn't care enough. I

643
00:45:54.119 --> 00:45:58.320
didn't get it. I just didn't
get me. That's how I feel about

644
00:45:58.400 --> 00:46:01.440
him. He watched the game,
didn't give a crap about the game,

645
00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:06.280
so therefore felt he was gonna probably
sound stupid if he tried to talk about

646
00:46:06.320 --> 00:46:08.320
the game, so he just didn't. Yeah, it's funny because there were

647
00:46:08.360 --> 00:46:13.440
so many things, even one like
our guy, Our guy at thirteen,

648
00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:15.840
Damien asked him a question about him
growing up and what he did as a

649
00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:20.760
kid, and he found it awestrucking
that or dumb struck that he was asked

650
00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:22.760
these questions in the press. Commerce
who guess what people want to know?

651
00:46:23.880 --> 00:46:27.760
It was the only chance you had
to talk to him, because he wouldn't

652
00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:30.519
pull You couldn't get him on the
side. I couldn't get him on the

653
00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:31.840
side of world. He's gonna ask
that question. Yeah, no, I

654
00:46:31.960 --> 00:46:37.280
hear you speaking of coaches speaking out
or not speaking out. Dana Holgerson,

655
00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:44.159
Houston coaches. He was asked about, you know, Texas leaving and previously

656
00:46:44.280 --> 00:46:46.199
Texas A and M and you know, has that made the Big Twelve less

657
00:46:46.239 --> 00:46:52.079
quote unquote desirable. He said,
screw them. They can go wherever they

658
00:46:52.119 --> 00:46:57.320
want. They don't want us and
we don't want them. I'm sure you

659
00:46:57.360 --> 00:47:00.519
got on the the guy asked the
question because it's not I mean the Big

660
00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:05.320
Twelve, the Big Twelve with Arizona
going in there. Now, it's not

661
00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:07.679
the Big Twelve that he used to
be, right, And Houston has long

662
00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:10.159
thought they should have been in the
Big twelve a long time ago, you

663
00:47:10.239 --> 00:47:14.480
know, a long time ago in
there. Then they're finally there. But

664
00:47:14.599 --> 00:47:17.039
now Texas and Oklahoma are gone,
right, so it's it's a different Big

665
00:47:17.079 --> 00:47:20.639
Noble. But you know, here
comes Arizona in Colorado. You're ready,

666
00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:22.360
Yeah, you're ready. You know
what I'm excited about that too, is

667
00:47:22.760 --> 00:47:29.320
you get to see Kelvin again.
Kilvin still there. Yeah, yeah,

668
00:47:29.400 --> 00:47:32.880
yeah, he's old he's close to
seventy. Yeah, he was yeah out

669
00:47:32.920 --> 00:47:36.639
there. Yeah, so we'll see, we'll see. I look forward to

670
00:47:36.639 --> 00:47:39.719
seeing him. Yeah, I remember, you know, uh, the year

671
00:47:39.760 --> 00:47:45.440
Arizona hosted the what was the eighty
season and they beat UCLA And remember he

672
00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:51.639
literally ran off the court and he's
peeling off his jacket and like throwing it

673
00:47:51.760 --> 00:47:55.239
in the air. He was so
excited having loved him. Yeah, he

674
00:47:55.320 --> 00:47:58.519
was a fan of favorite here.
Yeah, he really was. He was

675
00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:00.039
again one of the nicest guy.
I know. We've got in some trouble.

676
00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:04.800
Yeah, it's bad things, but
that doesn't mean no. It's like,

677
00:48:04.960 --> 00:48:07.159
you know, it's like everybody loves
Calvin, but now it's like,

678
00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:12.199
yo, you got five bucks,
here's ten. Yeah, we don't.

679
00:48:12.360 --> 00:48:14.719
We don't worry about stuff like that. Exactly. Put it on the nl

680
00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:19.280
n IL list exactly, exactly.
No, Yeah, no, it's it's

681
00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:22.800
it's funny how that, how that
has turned. We're seeing a lot of

682
00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:27.239
I'm watching a bunch of videos and
stuff of King Griffy Junior's at the US

683
00:48:27.360 --> 00:48:30.079
Open, Rob Gronkowski's at the US
Open, the tennis tournament. Okay,

684
00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:34.880
all these guys hanging around just enjoying
their lives. Man, Yeah, did

685
00:48:34.960 --> 00:48:38.679
you see much of the Coco Coco
stuff that was kind of controversial? Yeah,

686
00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:42.559
didn't pay all that much attention.
You know what, I'm gonna start

687
00:48:42.559 --> 00:48:45.320
to learn how to do and I
hope I don't have a hard tack is

688
00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:51.599
pickable pick I gotta figure out how
to do it though. Yeah, I've

689
00:48:51.599 --> 00:48:55.800
been asking people where to go.
Much movement involved? No, that's that's

690
00:48:55.840 --> 00:48:59.599
what I said. Hope it.
But it's it's uh, you know,

691
00:48:59.800 --> 00:49:04.920
fin the rage, man, it's
the rage. Maybe find a ringer I

692
00:49:04.960 --> 00:49:09.840
can hang on to. Oh god, wander Frank Franco had another person,

693
00:49:10.280 --> 00:49:15.079
young person claiming that they had a
relationship with him. But that's up to

694
00:49:15.239 --> 00:49:22.679
three now, dude, Man,
he's twenty two, right, twenty four?

695
00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:29.119
But dude, come on man,
oh god, oh god? All

696
00:49:29.199 --> 00:49:32.800
right. So no, I you
know, I keep seeing pickle ball and

697
00:49:34.199 --> 00:49:36.760
I don't know what I want to
do. Steve, Who're gonna watch the

698
00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:39.880
Tommy Lloyd has a big deal on
in October trying to raise money for the

699
00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:46.480
n IL stuff. So I've re
I renewed my gym membership. Oh I've

700
00:49:46.519 --> 00:49:50.000
gone back to the gym. Oh
wait, wait, you have already started.

701
00:49:50.039 --> 00:49:52.880
I had one. Yeah, just
knocking the doors is still open.

702
00:49:52.480 --> 00:49:55.960
No, I have, I've had. I renewed it and I just go

703
00:49:57.119 --> 00:50:00.079
do the I just go do the
treadmill. You know, let's walk a

704
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:02.880
brisk walk. But then I tried
to jog for a couple of minutes and

705
00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:08.719
I can't walk half an hour,
so like three miles, two miles,

706
00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:13.480
and it's a brisk walk. It's
boka. It's faster than I walk when

707
00:50:13.519 --> 00:50:15.840
I go walk into No, No, that's cool because I need to start

708
00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:17.880
doing that. I need to start
doing that. You might insper me,

709
00:50:19.199 --> 00:50:22.800
but I got to do that.
But I try to jog and I can

710
00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:28.480
jog, but then it hurts like
hell, and I can't walk for figure

711
00:50:28.719 --> 00:50:30.599
stuff jiggle and kind of move around. No, you know, but it's

712
00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:35.480
just it's the pounding of the n
got a bad right knee. Man,

713
00:50:35.559 --> 00:50:37.480
it takes sakes a couple of days
to get over it, and then I

714
00:50:37.559 --> 00:50:38.840
can't go back. No, it's
good for you. So but yeah,

715
00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:44.719
I'm back in the gym. Peter
talks about that, and you know Peter,

716
00:50:45.320 --> 00:50:46.360
So you go to the gym and
this kind of what knock on the

717
00:50:46.440 --> 00:50:49.920
door and say Hey, it's just
a little bit. Okay, I'll see

718
00:50:49.960 --> 00:50:54.679
tomorrow. Oh but no, I'm
back over there. But so I gotta

719
00:50:54.679 --> 00:51:00.159
get over there tonight after taco Tuesday. No, we had it's spaghetti night

720
00:51:00.239 --> 00:51:05.920
tonight. Okay, this is a
before after. Oh, I can't go

721
00:51:06.039 --> 00:51:08.840
after. I would have to go
if I'll barf. If I eat,

722
00:51:08.880 --> 00:51:12.639
then exercise. And I've been like
that since I was a kid. I

723
00:51:12.760 --> 00:51:15.280
can't eat. You remember the old
thirty minutes before you go in the full

724
00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:20.000
thing? To me, it was
like, if I eat and then run

725
00:51:20.079 --> 00:51:22.000
around, I'll yeah. OK So
I don't do that, So it would

726
00:51:22.039 --> 00:51:25.119
be before dinner. The question is
when I get home, am I going

727
00:51:25.159 --> 00:51:30.079
to have the enthusiasm because spaghetti's my
favorite? Man? You know, I'm

728
00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:31.559
just I'm just gonna want to eat. But yeah, I saw, Yeah,

729
00:51:31.639 --> 00:51:37.079
there's a pickleball thing too, a
supportman's basketball. I just saw the

730
00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:39.400
Dunks and Dunks tournament. Yes,
in October, you're thinking about doing that?

731
00:51:39.760 --> 00:51:43.760
You know, if I get halfway
decent, I might, but I

732
00:51:43.800 --> 00:51:45.559
probably won't. But that's a big
deal. In fact, we should be

733
00:51:45.599 --> 00:51:50.599
having Arizona sist come on board here
as an advertiser anytime. Soon, oh

734
00:51:50.760 --> 00:51:52.079
night. Yeah, yeah they should, Man, Yeah, so you know,

735
00:51:52.239 --> 00:51:53.960
just get the word out. We've
had him on a few times.

736
00:51:54.079 --> 00:51:58.079
Yeah, I'll have him back on. So maybe before this tournament. Yeah,

737
00:51:58.119 --> 00:52:00.360
that'd be cool. That'd be very
cool. All right, all right,

738
00:52:00.440 --> 00:52:05.480
Steve Man, what are you got
going on in baseball? Baseball?

739
00:52:05.840 --> 00:52:08.000
What do you mean? What am
I looking at? You? Still love

aren't great. Right, it's hard
to win, but you keep winning,

755
00:53:01.639 --> 00:53:07.480
you keep winning. You just keep
those times and fifteen cents keep they add
