<v Speaker 4>felt like it was ninety.

00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:46.920
<v Speaker 5>And you shut up and flip flops.

17
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:49.759
<v Speaker 2>And that's his entire man. That's how. That's how I know.

18
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:51.280
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen the word.

19
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:53.799
<v Speaker 6>Pan wearing a jacket and a long sleeve shirt and

20
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:55.159
<v Speaker 6>I'm for still freezing.

21
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Andry knows how to be a college student. He's good.

22
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:00.399
<v Speaker 2>I heard you at the game the other day. Yep, Yeah,

23
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 2>what do you think? Pretty good? Got it for a while.

24
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.359
<v Speaker 2>Foot on the pedals sometimes. Yeah, these guys have to

25
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:10.719
<v Speaker 2>do it all the time. Yeah, because you never tournament.

26
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.239
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of good teams. Yeah, this weekend, we'll

27
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:16.519
<v Speaker 2>see how good there are, exactly. I'm surprised. I'm surprised.

28
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:18.879
<v Speaker 2>I think I sure said that they're a text text

29
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.439
<v Speaker 2>like a four point favorite, which is a little shocking

30
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:22.760
<v Speaker 2>to me. I don't know if that's true or not.

31
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.879
<v Speaker 2>You might want to yeah it's four points okay maybe wow.

32
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.560
<v Speaker 2>So you know, if I were betting man, wink wink,

33
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:30.879
<v Speaker 2>I think I would take the points.

34
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:32.480
<v Speaker 5>You absolutely should.

35
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.920
<v Speaker 6>I mean it's still we talk about this every time.

36
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:37.280
<v Speaker 6>It's a nice round, but they still make you a

37
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:39.879
<v Speaker 6>little nervous, no question. In the mellow game, you just

38
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:42.959
<v Speaker 6>your stomach starts to sink and you're like, oh no,

39
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:45.239
<v Speaker 6>and you know they might pull it out, but you know,

40
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:48.159
<v Speaker 6>get on a run in the tournament, you might miss.

41
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:52.480
<v Speaker 2>It, right. Yeah, And they have yet to make you

42
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:54.239
<v Speaker 2>feel confident or comfortable.

43
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:56.760
<v Speaker 6>They really don't. You know, it's exciting. I mean, it's

44
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:58.280
<v Speaker 6>it's a seven game, is it seven or eight?

45
00:01:58.719 --> 00:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Is it?

46
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:00.560
<v Speaker 5>I think it's a seven game win Street.

47
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, So we'll see what happens. We'll talk a

48
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:06.840
<v Speaker 2>lot about that game. We're gonna have Matt muleback on

49
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.479
<v Speaker 2>the other side at the four seventeen hour that get

50
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:12.360
<v Speaker 2>his thoughts on what's going on because he's done a

51
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.000
<v Speaker 2>few games now already with Hugh A and maybe just

52
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.960
<v Speaker 2>get his college scope of college basketball. Then in the

53
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.080
<v Speaker 2>first hour. I'm looking forward to this because Steve Lynn

54
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Steven Yeah, game from the past, right. I saw him

55
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:29.000
<v Speaker 2>at McHale Center, and we'll ask you how you know him.

56
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.159
<v Speaker 2>I saw him at the mchas Center maybe ten days ago.

57
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:35.439
<v Speaker 2>You know, in the concessions, I say, there's Steve talked

58
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 2>a little about stuff. I says, we miss missed those commercials,

59
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:39.680
<v Speaker 2>you know with Bill.

60
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:42.000
<v Speaker 5>Frieder, and now I'd love to talk about that.

61
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.840
<v Speaker 2>And you know, people our age know exactly what we're

62
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:48.439
<v Speaker 2>talking about. Uh, those good old day TV commercials where

63
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:50.639
<v Speaker 2>Luke was the was the good guy and Frieda was

64
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:51.120
<v Speaker 2>the bad guy.

65
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.759
<v Speaker 5>I know, they're so creative, you know, the talent.

66
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:54.879
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

67
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:56.960
<v Speaker 6>I'm curious, you know, to hear his when when he

68
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 6>knew that he had the right chemistry between those two

69
00:02:59.000 --> 00:02:59.719
<v Speaker 6>and how he made it happen.

70
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:01.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're going to talk to him how that did happen?

71
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Because it takes a creative mind to kind of pull

72
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:07.159
<v Speaker 2>that thing together. You're in the business where you have

73
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.879
<v Speaker 2>to kind of have creative minds, writers, producers and things

74
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:11.400
<v Speaker 2>like that.

75
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:12.560
<v Speaker 5>That'll be some great insight.

76
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.080
<v Speaker 6>And the last couple of times I've been here, we've

77
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.000
<v Speaker 6>been talking about, you know, kind of the history of

78
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.159
<v Speaker 6>the Wildcats and this is this is a fun part

79
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:21.439
<v Speaker 6>of that which did did this year. First time this

80
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:23.520
<v Speaker 6>week though, right, first time this week. But last week

81
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:26.439
<v Speaker 6>we talked about, you know, the coaching thing. We talked

82
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:28.680
<v Speaker 6>with Bob Elliott and you and you had him back on.

83
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:30.479
<v Speaker 6>We listened to you and you talked to him about

84
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:30.879
<v Speaker 6>doctor j.

85
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:34.560
<v Speaker 2>And then another guy tweeted, well, Dudlston tweeted, we had

86
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:38.280
<v Speaker 2>something about oh, well, Bert Williams, you know Bert from

87
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:41.319
<v Speaker 2>Williams and Associates. I do, Yeah, Yeah, he had some

88
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:43.680
<v Speaker 2>good stuff about you know, the Three Blind mice Y. Yeah.

89
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 6>I did listen to him, and I love that and

90
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:47.919
<v Speaker 6>and I remember that I just I cracked up. So

91
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:50.360
<v Speaker 6>I think, you know, you and I the last time

92
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:52.080
<v Speaker 6>I was here, we were talking about the history and

93
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.080
<v Speaker 6>just the culture of the place and the loyalty of

94
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:58.360
<v Speaker 6>the fans, and it's it's not only just the player

95
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.639
<v Speaker 6>sometimes but it's the it's the support bard of people

96
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 6>like Steven Berg.

97
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:01.800
<v Speaker 3>Right.

98
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:03.560
<v Speaker 2>One of the things that we talked about this week

99
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.960
<v Speaker 2>and off the air and on the air is bringing

100
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 2>the uh bringing the who was that time you were

101
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:10.719
<v Speaker 2>the game?

102
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:12.680
<v Speaker 5>Oh man? That last season?

103
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's last season. Okay. And I'll ask Kennry this too,

104
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.439
<v Speaker 2>because uh part of it. And I got a text

105
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:21.519
<v Speaker 2>that it was pretty pretty biting from a fan from

106
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:25.079
<v Speaker 2>inside the macale saying that the game experience is horrible.

107
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:32.879
<v Speaker 2>It's not lively, it's it's old, it's worn. And I'm thinking, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh,

108
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:35.199
<v Speaker 2>and that needs to change. You know, we're halfway through

109
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.639
<v Speaker 2>the year. Uh, it may be too late this year,

110
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:39.480
<v Speaker 2>but you've got to start, you know, freshening it up

111
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.959
<v Speaker 2>a bit, because it's the same old bit from years.

112
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.160
<v Speaker 6>Right it was, and it's you know, you know, how

113
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 6>long did the ou man you know do that? And

114
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:51.120
<v Speaker 6>it was great because it was from the eighties. Yeah,

115
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.279
<v Speaker 6>I was doing that up until until you couldn't and.

116
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.920
<v Speaker 2>He couldn't and he hadn't done it in a long time. Uh.

117
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.439
<v Speaker 2>And now we have you know, Phyllis or what's what

118
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:01.079
<v Speaker 2>her name is. She's dancing, but you know.

119
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.759
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so I'm with you. I think that there's an

120
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.800
<v Speaker 6>opportunity to freshen up. You know, I'm not the person

121
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:10.040
<v Speaker 6>to do that because when you say, oh, my back resembles.

122
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.480
<v Speaker 2>That, well, you resemble a lot other people in the stadium,

123
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.120
<v Speaker 2>that's true. And that's the you guys yell, I mean hey,

124
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.120
<v Speaker 2>and and everybody wants to move the students on the

125
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:21.000
<v Speaker 2>side and blah blah bl be better cheers. Okay, sure

126
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:23.319
<v Speaker 2>that's not gonna happen because you need you need to

127
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:26.480
<v Speaker 2>sell those seats and the kids aren't guaranteed to go

128
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.800
<v Speaker 2>show up in those seats. Henry, do you how do

129
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:30.680
<v Speaker 2>you feel about the I know you came back for

130
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.079
<v Speaker 2>this one game, and the students were there and not there.

131
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:37.839
<v Speaker 2>They'll be there for Iowa State, but don't you think

132
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:40.279
<v Speaker 2>it needs to be more exciting than what it is?

133
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:41.480
<v Speaker 2>A little?

134
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:43.800
<v Speaker 4>I mean, obviously you guys would know better because you've

135
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:45.360
<v Speaker 4>been going to the games for a while. But I

136
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.279
<v Speaker 4>feel like in my four years, I feel like it's

137
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.680
<v Speaker 4>kind of stayed the same. I think this year might

138
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:51.959
<v Speaker 4>be a little better just because of the conference change

139
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:54.600
<v Speaker 4>to new teams and.

140
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:55.480
<v Speaker 2>And you were there for like U C L A.

141
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:57.279
<v Speaker 2>And you know, when it gets to the big games,

142
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:01.160
<v Speaker 2>it's it's okay, it's okay. It's not it's the right word,

143
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.560
<v Speaker 2>because it's not great, but it's okay. And you know,

144
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:05.800
<v Speaker 2>you guys are spitting them not that this is right.

145
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:07.399
<v Speaker 2>And I get on you guys for you know, F

146
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:11.839
<v Speaker 2>this and F that to the players and the UCLA guys.

147
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:15.600
<v Speaker 2>And that happens everywhere. I mean, no, kids are kids,

148
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:17.000
<v Speaker 2>and they're gonna do what they do, but it needs

149
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.600
<v Speaker 2>to be like more and football. What about football? Have

150
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:21.279
<v Speaker 2>you got in football?

151
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:23.759
<v Speaker 5>Last season? I went to football game previous.

152
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:28.199
<v Speaker 2>Previous, the previous season, and Henry, you go, yeah, those

153
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:28.959
<v Speaker 2>are boring.

154
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:33.199
<v Speaker 4>I yeah, I agreed, Yeah, I think so. I do

155
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:36.839
<v Speaker 4>not think if any time it was ever maybe last

156
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:37.959
<v Speaker 4>year like the U c l A.

157
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:41.959
<v Speaker 2>Game, whenever on the wind streak in football, in football

158
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:45.040
<v Speaker 2>two years ago, but not this past year. Yeah. Yeah.

159
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:46.079
<v Speaker 2>And it's the same.

160
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:47.920
<v Speaker 6>Henry, when you when you go to the football game,

161
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:49.360
<v Speaker 6>what time do you and your your buddies go.

162
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:52.959
<v Speaker 4>You probably get there like thirty minutes before the game.

163
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:53.879
<v Speaker 5>Thirty minutes before the game.

164
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.160
<v Speaker 6>So you're not you're not tailgating or anything like that

165
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:58.720
<v Speaker 6>or making sure, you're down there for the big you know,

166
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.199
<v Speaker 6>getting excited to get everybody, I'll riled up or anything

167
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:01.600
<v Speaker 6>like that.

168
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:07.680
<v Speaker 2>The till gets are okay. I think it's the stadium atmosphere, right,

169
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:10.879
<v Speaker 2>the speakers suck, right, you know we've all determined that

170
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:14.759
<v Speaker 2>that's true. And then the same songs and the same routines.

171
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.279
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not being mean to be mean, and that's

172
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:18.160
<v Speaker 2>what people are telling me.

173
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:21.439
<v Speaker 6>Well, you know, players are now seeing a different atmosphere,

174
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:25.879
<v Speaker 6>different different UH facilities, and so maybe they'll pick something up.

175
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:27.920
<v Speaker 6>I know when I've traveled around and you you go

176
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.000
<v Speaker 6>to U before we were in the Big twelve. You know,

177
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:31.720
<v Speaker 6>I go to games, I go to football games. You're like,

178
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:36.079
<v Speaker 6>holy smokes, you know the atmosphere. It's exciting, truly because

179
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:39.480
<v Speaker 6>it's different, but it was I think there's an opportunity

180
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:42.000
<v Speaker 6>to freshen it up, get some people excited.

181
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:43.639
<v Speaker 5>I'm with you.

182
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:46.519
<v Speaker 6>It's not bad, but it's you know, yeah, but it's

183
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:47.319
<v Speaker 6>not good changes.

184
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:49.560
<v Speaker 2>It's like when you go to UH. It's funny, you

185
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:51.560
<v Speaker 2>go to a pizza place. I just like it. It

186
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:54.959
<v Speaker 2>wasn't bad. What the hell does that tell me? It

187
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:57.439
<v Speaker 2>doesn't tell me anything. It wasn't any good. It wasn't good.

188
00:07:57.839 --> 00:07:59.399
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying. When you I was, how

189
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:01.920
<v Speaker 2>was the mac n cheese? And it wasn't bad? What

190
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:02.879
<v Speaker 2>the hell was that mean?

191
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:03.800
<v Speaker 3>Right?

192
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:05.360
<v Speaker 6>I have to say I wouldn't seek it out. I mean,

193
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.160
<v Speaker 6>but it was okay, I wouldn't. I don't know if

194
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:07.920
<v Speaker 6>i'll come back.

195
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:09.439
<v Speaker 2>You know. Yeah, And that's the problem with u a

196
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:12.040
<v Speaker 2>football and sometimes that I don't know if I don't

197
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:13.920
<v Speaker 2>know if I went okay, I did it and done it.

198
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:14.560
<v Speaker 2>I wanted it.

199
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:16.759
<v Speaker 5>No, I'll get it. I'll get this, I'll get some ticket.

200
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:18.879
<v Speaker 5>What's take a call?

201
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:19.120
<v Speaker 7>Yeah?

202
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:20.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well maybe someone talk about this.

203
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.319
<v Speaker 6>Maybe somebody has an idea. Yeah, I had a freshen

204
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.399
<v Speaker 6>up to it's a new man.

205
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:28.160
<v Speaker 2>You know you're on the air nine the ball. Who's this?

206
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:29.720
<v Speaker 3>This is Brian.

207
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:30.959
<v Speaker 7>How's it going, Bryan?

208
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:34.039
<v Speaker 2>Did you take us Yester for the holidays or something?

209
00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:34.759
<v Speaker 3>Well?

210
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:36.600
<v Speaker 7>I was, I was out of town for a while

211
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:41.440
<v Speaker 7>and did that stuff, and uh, yeah I haven't been around.

212
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Tell me what's your solution? You have a solution for us?

213
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:47.399
<v Speaker 7>Uh? Maybe we need to get better teams in here.

214
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:51.279
<v Speaker 7>You know, I'm I'm sorry, but back in back in

215
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:54.679
<v Speaker 7>the eighties and nineties, you know, Yeah, we had decent

216
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:59.000
<v Speaker 7>preseason schedules. Yeah, you know, I mean it's it's hard.

217
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:03.360
<v Speaker 7>It's hard to get except about Central Michigan, yeah, or

218
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.480
<v Speaker 7>or some southeast North Dakota state, whatever hell it is.

219
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:10.159
<v Speaker 2>You know, are you talking both sports, football and basketball?

220
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:14.080
<v Speaker 7>Yes, yes, well, you know, football is a lot different

221
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:18.200
<v Speaker 7>because it's really this is not a football school. You know.

222
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:21.919
<v Speaker 7>Even when we were doing well last year in twenty

223
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:25.399
<v Speaker 7>three not twenty four, we still didn't get to sell

224
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:30.279
<v Speaker 7>out crowds and we were winning games. Yeah, but basketball,

225
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.759
<v Speaker 7>basketball is a whole different animal, I think, because you know,

226
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:36.600
<v Speaker 7>they if we had decent teams. I mean, the Duke

227
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:39.279
<v Speaker 7>game was great to watch. I mean that we lost,

228
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:41.600
<v Speaker 7>but the fans were really into the game, even though

229
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.840
<v Speaker 7>it was a late game. I mean, the fans were

230
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.879
<v Speaker 7>really into it, you know, but that was Duke, you know,

231
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:49.000
<v Speaker 7>and it wasn't too bad. I didn't think the fans

232
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:52.279
<v Speaker 7>were that bad at the Baylor game, of course, but

233
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:55.759
<v Speaker 7>having the nine o'clock game didn't didn't really help, you know,

234
00:09:55.840 --> 00:10:00.240
<v Speaker 7>during the middle of the week. But you know, us,

235
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.240
<v Speaker 7>I don't know if all the students were back by then,

236
00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:05.000
<v Speaker 7>I'm not too sure. The student section was more full

237
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:06.960
<v Speaker 7>than it was the game before on Saturday.

238
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:09.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're.

239
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:13.120
<v Speaker 7>We need to get better teams in here in the preseason,

240
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.120
<v Speaker 7>you know, to get people hyped up. I mean, okay,

241
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.679
<v Speaker 7>so we lost four or five games in the pre

242
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.519
<v Speaker 7>in the pre conference schedule, but all those games were

243
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.080
<v Speaker 7>either you know, they were out of town, you know,

244
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:27.799
<v Speaker 7>I know, the one was in Phoenix and had a

245
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:31.519
<v Speaker 7>pretty good turnout, you know, not that not great, but

246
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.919
<v Speaker 7>it wasn't that bad. But they still they need needed

247
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:38.039
<v Speaker 7>to pick up the schedule and have you know, and

248
00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:40.639
<v Speaker 7>I know it's harder because a lot of teams don't

249
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:42.679
<v Speaker 7>want to do a home and home and need you

250
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:45.000
<v Speaker 7>got to worry about what TV, how much money they

251
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:45.480
<v Speaker 7>want to pay.

252
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:49.360
<v Speaker 2>You on TV. Yeah, no, I agree with you. I

253
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:49.840
<v Speaker 2>agree with you.

254
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:52.279
<v Speaker 6>Do you think do you think that we missed out

255
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:54.600
<v Speaker 6>on the preseason hype? Do you miss any of that

256
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:55.679
<v Speaker 6>stuff that they used to do?

257
00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

258
00:10:57.639 --> 00:10:58.000
<v Speaker 7>Very much?

259
00:10:58.039 --> 00:10:58.120
<v Speaker 1>So.

260
00:10:58.360 --> 00:10:59.519
<v Speaker 6>I mean do you think if we brought that back?

261
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:01.759
<v Speaker 6>I mean, let's if we get the fans excited early on.

262
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.320
<v Speaker 7>Well, I think the fans that get excited if we

263
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:10.559
<v Speaker 7>had a decent preseason schedule. Yeah, you know. And but

264
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.679
<v Speaker 7>but you know, I don't I watch, you know, I

265
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:15.519
<v Speaker 7>watch a lot of basketball on TV, and you watch,

266
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:17.840
<v Speaker 7>you know, Gonzaga plays a lot of home games against

267
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:21.840
<v Speaker 7>decent teams, you know, in a home and home you know. Yeah,

268
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:23.879
<v Speaker 7>and you know what why can't we You know.

269
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, Bry before the season started, and I said this,

270
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:29.360
<v Speaker 2>if you had season tickets, great because they'll pass. You

271
00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:33.399
<v Speaker 2>had season tickets. The schedule sucked in Shawn's time and

272
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:36.000
<v Speaker 2>in Tommy's early times. But now you had these guys

273
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:38.519
<v Speaker 2>coming in right shirt here, But here's the equalizer to that.

274
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:40.639
<v Speaker 2>You had tickets, But now they're getting the games at

275
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:43.159
<v Speaker 2>eight thirty nine o'clock. So that kind of trumps that.

276
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:45.679
<v Speaker 2>Trump's the schedule, right, it.

277
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.879
<v Speaker 7>Does, you know. And unfortunately, well, one other thing I

278
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:50.960
<v Speaker 7>was surprised to see at the game the other night,

279
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:53.759
<v Speaker 7>at nine o'clock game, that a lot of the older

280
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:56.399
<v Speaker 7>fans did not leave with five minutes to go in

281
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:57.519
<v Speaker 7>the game. They were still there.

282
00:11:57.440 --> 00:11:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Toward the end, right, No, because that's what the rally,

283
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:03.720
<v Speaker 2>that's what the rallies. Hey, Mildred, let's not go yet,

284
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:06.960
<v Speaker 2>because it could be you could get close here, right,

285
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:07.279
<v Speaker 2>you know.

286
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:09.600
<v Speaker 7>And I was really surprised to see that because usually

287
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:11.840
<v Speaker 7>with five minutes to go in the game, that that

288
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:13.080
<v Speaker 7>place is half empty.

289
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, gotta get to the parking.

290
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:16.360
<v Speaker 7>All on the bottom section.

291
00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah no, so it's not there's almost fault that they

292
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:23.120
<v Speaker 2>screwed him with the times. And that's what they've done, right,

293
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:24.679
<v Speaker 2>that purposely Just what it is.

294
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:26.320
<v Speaker 6>That's what it is. That's the Big twelve. I mean,

295
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:28.480
<v Speaker 6>that's I mean, they've always played on those lakes.

296
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Just what You're gonna have to get used to it. Uh,

297
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:33.279
<v Speaker 2>we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens. When I

298
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:36.879
<v Speaker 2>was stayed on Monday next Monday.

299
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.960
<v Speaker 7>Right, you know, that's that's the eight thirty one, right, Yeah.

300
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:42.159

303
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:50.919
<v Speaker 7>like you got a caller yesterday who called about, you know,

304

<v Speaker 7>going to the game, but he can't take his kids.

309
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:07.519
<v Speaker 7>where you know, younger families they can't go, so it's

310
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:09.360

<v Speaker 2>to figure out what to do.

313
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:17.120

00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Let's reminisce a little from the good old days.

451
00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:38.240
<v Speaker 16>Sure, happy to do that. There were plenty of good

452
00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:38.839
<v Speaker 16>old days.

453
00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, yes. What are the things that you were

454
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:44.759
<v Speaker 2>behind and were fronts at center with? Were the old

455
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Ludelsen Frieder commercials. I have Tim Bentley here too, who

456
00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:52.279
<v Speaker 2>knows much about that too. He's a marketing guy.

457
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:54.400
<v Speaker 3>Steve. How are you? Steve?

458
00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:56.079
<v Speaker 6>And I am Steve and I know each other from

459
00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:59.319
<v Speaker 6>years ago. I worked for the WB I worked with

460
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:03.720
<v Speaker 6>ron Berg, you remember that name, and then Anne Courtney

461
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:05.799
<v Speaker 6>for a long long time. I think she worked for you,

462
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:11.319
<v Speaker 6>and and Courtney was our advertising agency with Michael Beverly. So, yeah, Steve,

463
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:13.240
<v Speaker 6>I heard you're coming on today. I was excited to

464
00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:14.720
<v Speaker 6>say hi, do you so?

465
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:16.559
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Thanks, Sam, I appreciate it.

466
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:18.839
<v Speaker 2>So let's go back and we'll talk real quick with

467
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:20.720
<v Speaker 2>some of the things that we talked about briefly on

468
00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:23.119
<v Speaker 2>McHale Center. How did they come about?

469
00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:29.440
<v Speaker 16>Well, the agency that I had, Nortonsenlan Advertising, had a

470
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:34.200
<v Speaker 16>contract with the university. And when this is back in

471
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:39.000
<v Speaker 16>the nineties, and what happens is it happened then was

472
00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:42.400
<v Speaker 16>the university, as part of the coaches contract for football, basketball,

473
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:46.039
<v Speaker 16>and baseball, actually built into the contract a certain amount

474
00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:49.880
<v Speaker 16>of compensation for the coaches and prepaid them and then

475
00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:52.960
<v Speaker 16>asked us as an agency to go out and market

476
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:57.319
<v Speaker 16>the coaches in having them do advertising and public appearances

477
00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:00.319
<v Speaker 16>and so on to make up for the university money

478
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:02.680
<v Speaker 16>that they they've advanced.

479
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:03.720
<v Speaker 3>If you will, to the coaches.

480
00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:07.480
<v Speaker 16>So I had I had lout Olsen, I had Dick Tomy,

481
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:13.480
<v Speaker 16>and I had Jerry Kendall essentially as clients, and because

482
00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:15.640
<v Speaker 16>of the money that the university had already put into

483
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:19.599
<v Speaker 16>Lut's contract, which was substantial six figures, a lot of

484
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:23.920
<v Speaker 16>six figures, we needed to do something that was, you know,

485
00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:28.279
<v Speaker 16>not just a local waffle shop or a local car

486
00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:32.160
<v Speaker 16>dealer or whatever. It needed to be either statewide or national.

487
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:36.000
<v Speaker 16>So in talking to Lute, he and Bill Frieder had

488
00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:39.240
<v Speaker 16>played against each other in the Big Ten when when

489
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:43.039
<v Speaker 16>Bill was at Michigan and Louke was at Iowa and Uh,

490
00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:45.200
<v Speaker 16>I said, Luke, are you friendly with Bill? Would you

491
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:47.440
<v Speaker 16>do something with Bill? And he said, sure, we get along.

492
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:50.039
<v Speaker 16>Our families get along or our wives get along.

493
00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:52.039
<v Speaker 3>And I said great.

494
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:55.880
<v Speaker 16>So I called Bill, and Bill acteds ex as his own.

495
00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:58.720
<v Speaker 3>Agent, as you might imagine if he does, he doesn't

496
00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:00.799
<v Speaker 3>have anybody worked for him.

497
00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:04.799
<v Speaker 16>His offices in the back of his car, in his trunk,

498
00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:08.519
<v Speaker 16>and I presented him with a notion to do something

499
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:11.720
<v Speaker 16>with Luke. He said sure, absolutely. So I made a

500
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:16.000
<v Speaker 16>call to then Valley Bank. Because Valley Bank had been

501
00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:20.599
<v Speaker 16>using Gene Stallings, the old Cardinals coach in their advertising,

502
00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:22.799
<v Speaker 16>so I knew that they were used to having sports

503
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:26.559
<v Speaker 16>personalities do advertising for them. And I called up the

504
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.200
<v Speaker 16>marketing director for Valley and said, listen, I've got the

505
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:33.720
<v Speaker 16>two major basketball coaches in the state. One looks like

506
00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:36.119
<v Speaker 16>he just stepped out of GQ and the other one

507
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:38.759
<v Speaker 16>looks like he just stepped out of g Whiz, and

508
00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:41.880
<v Speaker 16>you can have them both, but I need the answer

509
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:43.839
<v Speaker 16>in twenty four hours. And he called back within two

510
00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:47.039
<v Speaker 16>hours and said we'll take him. So that's how it started.

511
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:50.880
<v Speaker 16>And then every summer for the next seven years, through

512
00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:56.720
<v Speaker 16>two bank changes, Bank Valley Bank went from one from

513
00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:00.480
<v Speaker 16>Bank One Bank to Bank one to Chase, And over

514
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:04.160
<v Speaker 16>seven years, even through those changes, they kept the two

515
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:07.440
<v Speaker 16>guys as their commercials. Every summer we'd spend a week

516
00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:12.440
<v Speaker 16>up in Phoenix and in remote locations making those commercials.

517
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:14.720
<v Speaker 16>So the guys would put it on their calendar and

518
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:17.839
<v Speaker 16>I would coach Wrangle for a week.

519
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:19.880
<v Speaker 3>It was the great week every summer.

520
00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:24.039
<v Speaker 6>Hey, Steve, when did you I love that connection? When

521
00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:27.400
<v Speaker 6>did you realize that you had the magic chemistry between

522
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:29.720
<v Speaker 6>those two on on screen? When did you when did

523
00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:31.480
<v Speaker 6>you realize that? Was it the first commercial or was

524
00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:33.240
<v Speaker 6>it did it take a few a few times?

525
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:37.400
<v Speaker 16>No, no, no, actually it was it was the first script.

526
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:41.119
<v Speaker 16>When when the way it worked is the bank had

527
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:44.279
<v Speaker 16>an advertising agency that did their advertising. I didn't have

528
00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:47.160
<v Speaker 16>anything to do with the bank's advertising, and so their

529
00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:51.160
<v Speaker 16>agency would send me scripts for approval to be to

530
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:52.440
<v Speaker 16>be shot over the summer.

531
00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:55.519
<v Speaker 3>And as soon as I read the first script, I said.

532
00:23:55.559 --> 00:24:00.400
<v Speaker 16>This is going to be something, and so it came

533
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:05.039
<v Speaker 16>what it's been, which is really a classic matchup between

534
00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:07.039
<v Speaker 16>smooth Loot and Bill.

535
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that makes sense, total sense. And they did all

536
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:12.200
<v Speaker 2>the script writing.

537
00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:17.160
<v Speaker 16>They did script writing, I did script editing. There's there

538
00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:20.039
<v Speaker 16>were certain things that we didn't didn't necessarily agree to do.

539
00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:24.640
<v Speaker 16>Most everything was pretty well completed by the agencies. In fact,

540
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:28.000
<v Speaker 16>there were actually two agencies over time, because the bank

541
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:30.039
<v Speaker 16>then changed agencies.

542
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:31.680
<v Speaker 3>But we had already had.

543
00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:34.519
<v Speaker 16>So many products in the cannon that had already shown

544
00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:37.920
<v Speaker 16>on television that the second agency already had a blueprint

545
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:39.319
<v Speaker 16>of what needed to happen.

546
00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:43.799
<v Speaker 3>So the different circumstances that they put together, you know,

547
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:45.079
<v Speaker 3>it just basically a.

548
00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:51.880
<v Speaker 16>Tight guy who who watches every hair on his head

549
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:54.400
<v Speaker 16>and another guy who couldn't care less about anything.

550
00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

551
00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:58.640
<v Speaker 6>So so it sounds like the scripts you got the

552
00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:00.559
<v Speaker 6>scripts from the agency, how much le way did you

553
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:03.319
<v Speaker 6>have and of the two coaches who would have had

554
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:04.880
<v Speaker 6>a career as an actor.

555
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:06.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, and did they have to approve it?

556
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:11.920
<v Speaker 16>Well, they actually didn't have to approve it. They gave

557
00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:15.400
<v Speaker 16>me that responsibility. And over the seven years there was

558
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:19.279
<v Speaker 16>there was absolutely nothing that they ever came in contact

559
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:21.599
<v Speaker 16>with that we hadn't talked about and they didn't go

560
00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:23.160
<v Speaker 16>for Now, there.

561
00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:25.319
<v Speaker 3>Was an opportunity I'll tell you in a.

562
00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:29.519
<v Speaker 16>Minute about about another product that they wanted to perform

563
00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:33.759
<v Speaker 16>that didn't go so well, But in this instance, the

564
00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:37.279
<v Speaker 16>coaches really never took the opportunity to review the script's

565
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:40.359
<v Speaker 16>word by word and they trusted that I would not

566
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:43.200
<v Speaker 16>put them in situations that they weren't comfortable in. Yeah,

567
00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:47.079
<v Speaker 16>so they they were troopers for the for the seven

568
00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:49.759
<v Speaker 16>years that we did it. The one that I referred

569
00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:53.000
<v Speaker 16>to guys, it was about four or five years into

570
00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:56.759
<v Speaker 16>the seven year contract, the bank wanted to do some

571
00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.680
<v Speaker 16>some additional marketing using the two coaches. So they got

572
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:03.799
<v Speaker 16>the idea of doing a calendar and the bank would

573
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:06.720
<v Speaker 16>put a calendar together, and so they set up a

574
00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:11.680
<v Speaker 16>photo shoot still photos. Over a two day period built

575
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:16.440
<v Speaker 16>sets for twelve different iconic photos using the two coaches

576
00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:20.880
<v Speaker 16>in various themes based on you know, New Year's was

577
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:26.720
<v Speaker 16>one thing, and Easter was another, at Thanksgiving and Halloween

578
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:30.720
<v Speaker 16>and Christmas, all of these different events during the course

579
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:34.400
<v Speaker 16>of the year, and we saw the setups for all

580
00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:38.200
<v Speaker 16>of those twelve photographs and the guys were apparently okay

581
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:38.559
<v Speaker 16>with it.

582
00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:42.319
<v Speaker 3>But by the second setup of the.

583
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:48.519
<v Speaker 16>Halloween poster, the Halloween shoot, Luke came to me off

584
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:52.359
<v Speaker 16>set and said, I can't do this. And if you

585
00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:56.240
<v Speaker 16>can imagine, Luke dressing in any sort of a costume

586
00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:00.440
<v Speaker 16>was something that he was not particularly comfortable with, right,

587
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:05.400
<v Speaker 16>and so uh this was this this particular one happened

588
00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:11.440
<v Speaker 16>to have Bill dressed as a a skeleton for Halloween,

589
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:17.279
<v Speaker 16>and Luke was a pirate, uh, complete with a parrot

590
00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:21.440
<v Speaker 16>on his shoulder and a big swashbuckle hat and so on,

591
00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:25.200
<v Speaker 16>and he basically said, I'm done, I can't do it, so.

592
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:32.599
<v Speaker 5>Yes all the way, So Steve, well, let me, yes,

593
00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:33.480
<v Speaker 5>go ahead the story.

594
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:35.799
<v Speaker 16>I had to go to the bank at that point

595
00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:38.480
<v Speaker 16>and say, guys, I'm sorry. I know they agreed to

596
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:40.480
<v Speaker 16>do it, and I know you set up all this this,

597
00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:43.680
<v Speaker 16>uh uh, the setups and everything else, and got everybody

598
00:27:43.759 --> 00:27:46.000
<v Speaker 16>down here. But we're going to have to refund the

599
00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:48.960
<v Speaker 16>money and and uh and not do the bit and

600
00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:51.640
<v Speaker 16>and so they were. They were very gracious about it.

601
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:52.720
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

602
00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:55.759
<v Speaker 16>But Bill went on to do the entire calendar itself

603
00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:57.519
<v Speaker 16>because he didn't care how he dressed it.

604
00:27:57.799 --> 00:27:59.359
<v Speaker 2>That's funny. That's why I didn't know that. I had

605
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:00.319
<v Speaker 2>never seen that either.

606
00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:02.920
<v Speaker 6>I hadn't heard that who was the had the more

607
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:05.559
<v Speaker 6>natural acting ability in your estimation?

608
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:10.880
<v Speaker 16>Oh, Bill at Bill absolutely. And the other thing about Bill,

609
00:28:10.920 --> 00:28:13.519
<v Speaker 16>and I don't think many people knew this Bill was

610
00:28:13.599 --> 00:28:15.160
<v Speaker 16>actually a savant with numbers.

611
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh, he's huge.

612
00:28:16.279 --> 00:28:21.079
<v Speaker 16>When Bill was an assistant coach at Michigan before he

613
00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:23.680
<v Speaker 16>took over the program, and let's say he was going

614
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:29.359
<v Speaker 16>to to recruit a kid in let's say Texas, he

615
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:33.240
<v Speaker 16>would fly from ann Arbor to Vegas, get off the plane,

616
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:36.920
<v Speaker 16>go to a casino, count a six deck shoe for

617
00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:40.200
<v Speaker 16>a couple of hours, make fifteen twenty grand, and go

618
00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:42.759
<v Speaker 16>to Texas and then hit Vegas on the way back

619
00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:45.279
<v Speaker 16>to the point where at some point he was persona

620
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:48.359
<v Speaker 16>non grad at most of the most of the hotels.

621
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:51.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, no, you're you're very You know him, because

622
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:53.119
<v Speaker 2>that's exactly what he was. Let me tell you a

623
00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:56.960
<v Speaker 2>quick Bill story Arizona in Oregon, would travel an issue,

624
00:28:57.200 --> 00:28:59.759
<v Speaker 2>travel together obviously traveling partners, or stay at the same

625
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:03.319
<v Speaker 2>hold tell in Oregon. And one time Bill's the room

626
00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:07.319
<v Speaker 2>was broken into and they stole his wallet, blah blah blah,

627
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:09.160
<v Speaker 2>And this could have been somewhere else too, though I

628
00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:11.759
<v Speaker 2>think it happened. He wanted his wallet back, and the

629
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:14.039
<v Speaker 2>guy geist returned. He says, well, you might want to

630
00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:16.000
<v Speaker 2>keep it because you spend less than my wife does.

631
00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:21.160
<v Speaker 15>Well.

632
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:25.960
<v Speaker 16>Interesting, interestingly, think about Bill. I mean Bill's daughter was

633
00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:28.519
<v Speaker 16>into show jumping, so he was supporting not only a

634
00:29:28.519 --> 00:29:31.680
<v Speaker 16>wonderful wife, but a daughter who had horses and a

635
00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:35.440
<v Speaker 16>show jumping activity, and so he had plenty of things

636
00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:36.319
<v Speaker 16>to spend money on.

637
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:36.759
<v Speaker 2>Sure.

638
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:39.000
<v Speaker 16>The one Steve that I mentioned to you, I think

639
00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:41.839
<v Speaker 16>I mentioned to you when we spoke, to show you

640
00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:44.119
<v Speaker 16>the difference between the two of them. There was one

641
00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:47.559
<v Speaker 16>commercial that we did where they both agreed to do

642
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:49.599
<v Speaker 16>the same activity, but do it in their own way.

643
00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:53.359
<v Speaker 16>So we shot We shot at the Biltmore in Phoenix,

644
00:29:53.799 --> 00:29:55.839
<v Speaker 16>and we shot Luke having lunch at.

645
00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:58.640
<v Speaker 5>The Biltmore in the in the dining room, and then.

646
00:29:58.559 --> 00:30:01.160
<v Speaker 16>We shot Bill having lunch at a hot dog stand

647
00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:05.079
<v Speaker 16>out in the desert someone and and then we had

648
00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:07.839
<v Speaker 16>Luke teeing off at the golf course at the Biltmore.

649
00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:10.720
<v Speaker 16>And then we had Bill at a pitching putt or

650
00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:14.920
<v Speaker 16>at a you know, a putt putt golf course going

651
00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:16.839
<v Speaker 16>through the windmill and all this other stuff.

652
00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:19.519
<v Speaker 3>So the other one is Luke as a haircut.

653
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:22.240
<v Speaker 16>Well, Luke was in the salon at the at the

654
00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:24.599
<v Speaker 16>Biltmore getting his haircut and.

655
00:30:24.640 --> 00:30:26.599
<v Speaker 2>Bill used a flowby.

656
00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:29.880
<v Speaker 16>Remember the flow be that you attached to your vacuum

657
00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:34.079
<v Speaker 16>cleaner and it cuts your hair. And so Bill liked

658
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:35.759
<v Speaker 16>that a lot, so he kept the flow by.

659
00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:37.480
<v Speaker 3>From the shoot. I think he probably used it.

660
00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:40.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, perks, baby, man, you're your big time actor, you

661
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:41.480
<v Speaker 6>get perks.

662
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:44.160
<v Speaker 2>So just real quick, you mentioned two of them. I

663
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:46.640
<v Speaker 2>think we realize there were seven seven years of this.

664
00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:49.599
<v Speaker 2>How many did you actually do? And which would have

665
00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:51.440
<v Speaker 2>been your favorite? Because I have I have mine.

666
00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:56.599
<v Speaker 16>Oh gosh, you know, it's like children. I mean, there's

667
00:30:56.640 --> 00:31:00.559
<v Speaker 16>something I liked more than others we did. We shot

668
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:04.720
<v Speaker 16>probably about three to five every summer, so there were

669
00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:06.759
<v Speaker 16>probably thirty of these or more.

670
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:07.200
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

671
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:11.559
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and on YouTube, Yeah, they would use them.

672
00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:14.559
<v Speaker 16>You know, periodically during the year, and and and run

673
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:18.440
<v Speaker 16>them out over the course of the year. The ones

674
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:21.599
<v Speaker 16>that I remember the most, and and there were some

675
00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:25.480
<v Speaker 16>that were more or less funny, but the Christmas one

676
00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:27.039
<v Speaker 16>where Luke goes to the store.

677
00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:29.400
<v Speaker 2>To buy things that's mine, that's mine, and.

678
00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:36.000
<v Speaker 16>And the server waits on him, the clerk, the clounter,

679
00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:39.039
<v Speaker 16>the clerk, and then and then Frieder comes up with

680
00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:42.640
<v Speaker 16>his bank card and she says, oh, mister Fritter y

681
00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:46.279
<v Speaker 16>and and the look on his face was just perfect,

682
00:31:46.759 --> 00:31:47.440
<v Speaker 16>right though.

683
00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:49.799
<v Speaker 2>That was my favorite as well, because it happened to him.

684
00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:52.440
<v Speaker 2>It happened to him at Boise And I'll explain the

685
00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:53.319
<v Speaker 2>story later, but go.

686
00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:57.319
<v Speaker 6>Ahead, no, no, I I'm just you know, what, what fun

687
00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:01.319
<v Speaker 6>and what leeway you had with them. You know, we'll

688
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:03.759
<v Speaker 6>continue talking about these great stories. But what's your sense

689
00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:04.559
<v Speaker 6>on these coaches now?

690
00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:05.559
<v Speaker 5>I mean, could you do that the.

691
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:09.160
<v Speaker 6>Same way with with Tommy and and uh Bobby, Bobby

692
00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:10.960
<v Speaker 6>up there? I mean, could you have the same amount

693
00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:12.519
<v Speaker 6>of fine could you do the same campaign?

694
00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:15.880
<v Speaker 16>I think, you know, I think, given given the right

695
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:20.559
<v Speaker 16>script and given the ability of the coaches to adapt

696
00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:25.119
<v Speaker 16>to the circumstance, I think it could be interesting now.

697
00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:29.319
<v Speaker 16>I mean, given that Bobby has a huge personality, I

698
00:32:29.319 --> 00:32:34.160
<v Speaker 16>would say Tommy is more reserved. But it's not quite

699
00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:37.720
<v Speaker 16>the same thing because there are two more modern coaches

700
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:41.880
<v Speaker 16>in events. They don't dress up the way lut used to.

701
00:32:42.279 --> 00:32:45.039
<v Speaker 16>You never saw lut in a in a anything but

702
00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:48.559
<v Speaker 16>a coat and tie at the games. Bill, you know,

703
00:32:48.680 --> 00:32:50.079
<v Speaker 16>you might have had a tie on, but it was

704
00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:53.880
<v Speaker 16>always untucked around his neck and hanging from the waist

705
00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:54.440
<v Speaker 16>or whatever.

706
00:32:54.839 --> 00:32:55.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

707
00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:57.480
<v Speaker 5>I can see Bobby slapping the floor then hurting his back.

708
00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:03.759
<v Speaker 2>You know, the discussion would have to be very tight

709
00:33:03.799 --> 00:33:05.759
<v Speaker 2>because they have to be approved by both sides. You

710
00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:08.400
<v Speaker 2>know you're not making me look good. I'm sure you

711
00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:11.680
<v Speaker 2>developed a nice friendship with them too, because you were

712
00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:13.279
<v Speaker 2>doing this for them and you spent a lot of

713
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:13.839
<v Speaker 2>time with him.

714
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:18.720
<v Speaker 16>I did, I did, and and when when Bill, I

715
00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:22.039
<v Speaker 16>don't know whether he still does color commentator comments terry

716
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:24.480
<v Speaker 16>for anybody, but when he used to come to to

717
00:33:24.680 --> 00:33:28.200
<v Speaker 16>McHale for games, when he was doing color on the

718
00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:32.160
<v Speaker 16>on the radio and television shows, I would always go

719
00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:34.839
<v Speaker 16>down and say hello to him and chat briefly. Uh,

720
00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:39.160
<v Speaker 16>because we did maintain that and you know, loud of course.

721
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:44.240
<v Speaker 16>I mean he went through a number of different circumstances

722
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:47.359
<v Speaker 16>late in life when he he was not well and

723
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:50.720
<v Speaker 16>and and so on, and he always remembered being always

724
00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:54.920
<v Speaker 16>was very kind and and that sort of thing. But

725
00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:57.160
<v Speaker 16>but yeah, it was it was a pleasure, and it

726
00:33:57.240 --> 00:33:59.359
<v Speaker 16>was I don't know, And you know, I was in

727
00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:04.359
<v Speaker 16>the advertise business on the agency side for sixteen years

728
00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:06.960
<v Speaker 16>and I did a lot of things that I'm quite

729
00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:10.519
<v Speaker 16>happy about. I think this, this group of commercials is

730
00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:13.079
<v Speaker 16>probably the best I ever did.

731
00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:15.639
<v Speaker 2>So when we Mike Fedder and I did the Lutosen

732
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:17.880
<v Speaker 2>camp in the first years and Loot was still around

733
00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:21.559
<v Speaker 2>twenty seventeen eighteen, we played those, we played those commercials

734
00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:23.760
<v Speaker 2>because some of the people had not seen them yet.

735
00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:26.199
<v Speaker 2>You know, they're like you said that, Tim, They're on YouTube.

736
00:34:26.239 --> 00:34:29.079
<v Speaker 2>So you know, we had the airport, you know, they

737
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:30.880
<v Speaker 2>got to get to a game quickly, and you know,

738
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:34.639
<v Speaker 2>Freder was the pilot and some and some of those

739
00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:37.960
<v Speaker 2>ones and some fast fantastic ones. But you you did

740
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:40.559
<v Speaker 2>about twenty one of them or thirty thirty of them,

741
00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:41.559
<v Speaker 2>holy almost.

742
00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:42.480
<v Speaker 3>Almost thirty of them.

743
00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:45.599
<v Speaker 16>Some of them actually, I don't think one of.

744
00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:47.840
<v Speaker 3>Them ever aired. In two son it might have aired

745
00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:48.440
<v Speaker 3>in Phoenix.

746
00:34:48.960 --> 00:34:51.400
<v Speaker 16>There was one day where we shot up at a

747
00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:57.880
<v Speaker 16>ghost town outside of Phoenix, north of Phoenix, and the

748
00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:00.000
<v Speaker 16>premise was that Bill was already ran out of gas

749
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:03.199
<v Speaker 16>and had to try to get a credit card you somewhere,

750
00:35:03.519 --> 00:35:06.760
<v Speaker 16>But it was it was a ghost town's circumstance, and

751
00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:11.519
<v Speaker 16>it was I don't think it ever ran statewide. But

752
00:35:11.559 --> 00:35:16.480
<v Speaker 16>the reason I remember that particular shot was I took

753
00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:18.800
<v Speaker 16>the coaches up there. They would drive with me to

754
00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:21.960
<v Speaker 16>the shoot wherever it was, so Luke and I would

755
00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:25.199
<v Speaker 16>stay at a hotel and then we'd go pick up

756
00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:27.320
<v Speaker 16>Bill at his house and drive where we were going

757
00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:29.840
<v Speaker 16>to go. Well, that day I picked him both up

758
00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:33.039
<v Speaker 16>and we were on our way up to up to

759
00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:36.800
<v Speaker 16>the shoote which was up of I seventeen on the

760
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:39.800
<v Speaker 16>way to Flag Stab, were on the way to Prescott

761
00:35:40.440 --> 00:35:43.800
<v Speaker 16>and UH and we get off and all the way

762
00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:47.719
<v Speaker 16>up there, the two guys are telling Bob Knight stories,

763
00:35:48.559 --> 00:35:48.880
<v Speaker 16>one of.

764
00:35:48.880 --> 00:35:53.480
<v Speaker 3>Them because they both and so one of them to say, well,

765
00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:54.559
<v Speaker 3>I really.

766
00:35:54.440 --> 00:35:57.719
<v Speaker 16>Ticked him off by doing X did something, and then oh,

767
00:35:58.199 --> 00:35:59.800
<v Speaker 16>the other one would top that and say well I

768
00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:03.679
<v Speaker 16>did this, and back and forth, and unfortunately I did

769
00:36:03.760 --> 00:36:06.239
<v Speaker 16>not have a recorder going and I was trying to

770
00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:09.239
<v Speaker 16>drive the car and had I had something to record

771
00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:11.639
<v Speaker 16>that I would have a first class book.

772
00:36:11.960 --> 00:36:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

773
00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:14.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, Steve, it's hilarious.

774
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:17.639
<v Speaker 5>I know you have. You have a lot of leadership

775
00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:19.880
<v Speaker 5>that you do here in our community.

776
00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:22.760
<v Speaker 6>I'm just curious your view on the state of sports

777
00:36:23.159 --> 00:36:25.719
<v Speaker 6>in this in PMA County and city of Tucson. What's

778
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:29.119
<v Speaker 6>your take from thirty years ago, forty years ago to today.

779
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:33.880
<v Speaker 16>Well, the thing that troubles me quite honestly, I'm not

780
00:36:33.960 --> 00:36:38.320
<v Speaker 16>a big fan of NIL. I just I was all

781
00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:42.199
<v Speaker 16>in favor of amateur sports. Now, that doesn't mean that

782
00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:46.679
<v Speaker 16>we shouldn't have treated college athletes differently than we did,

783
00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:50.079
<v Speaker 16>and they deserve certainly more support than they were.

784
00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:50.880
<v Speaker 3>Given early on.

785
00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:56.239
<v Speaker 16>But what we've got now is essentially minor leagues, and

786
00:36:56.599 --> 00:37:00.679
<v Speaker 16>with the with the transfer portal, and not only for players,

787
00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:04.480
<v Speaker 16>but for coaches, UH and and uh and the NIL.

788
00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:06.719
<v Speaker 16>I mean, I heard the other day that we had

789
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:09.519
<v Speaker 16>recruited somewhere at the university, had recruited.

790
00:37:09.239 --> 00:37:11.679
<v Speaker 3>A volleyball player from San Diego.

791
00:37:11.880 --> 00:37:15.239
<v Speaker 16>Who in high school was already making six figures. So

792
00:37:16.440 --> 00:37:19.760
<v Speaker 16>I just think it's it's it's a different world in

793
00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:23.880
<v Speaker 16>many ways, but it really is really tough on the coaches.

794
00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:26.960
<v Speaker 16>Head coaches now they don't even know who they're gonna

795
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:29.760
<v Speaker 16>have next year. Never mind that people might go pro

796
00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:33.679
<v Speaker 16>or get hurt or whatever. But I mean, anybody on

797
00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:36.599
<v Speaker 16>a roster can be somewhere else, and they apparently go

798
00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:40.400
<v Speaker 16>in that regard. So you you've got a whole new

799
00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:42.280
<v Speaker 16>deck of cards every year that you have to try

800
00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:43.519
<v Speaker 16>to make a playing hand out of.

801
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:45.800
<v Speaker 3>And I just think the fans suffer for that.

802
00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no question. They don't get to know them. You know,

803
00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:52.079
<v Speaker 2>they're like the athletes. Rent a player, rent a player.

804
00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Rent Yeah, Steve not good for school spirit, No, no, no, no, Steve.

805
00:37:56.920 --> 00:37:58.119
<v Speaker 2>Thanks a bunch was a lot of fun.

806
00:37:58.280 --> 00:37:59.079
<v Speaker 5>I was talking to his tee.

816
00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:22.199

952
00:44:16.719 --> 00:44:18.960
<v Speaker 2>And they're still still trying to build some more stuff

953
00:44:19.199 --> 00:44:22.480
<v Speaker 2>out there at Kino and beyond the Mosaic Place.

954
00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:25.559
<v Speaker 6>Or what Mosaic is coming. I think there's about nine

955
00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:27.039
<v Speaker 6>thousand pickleball courts coming.

956
00:44:27.440 --> 00:44:30.159
<v Speaker 2>See Tommy he talks about all the time. Just go

957
00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:32.920
<v Speaker 2>to his place. Yeah, yeah, and they're they're they're all

958
00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:34.679
<v Speaker 2>over the place, and you know, I want to do that,

959
00:44:34.679 --> 00:44:36.519
<v Speaker 2>except for my achilles heel doesn't want me to.

960
00:44:36.679 --> 00:44:38.599
<v Speaker 6>My knees just would gripe at me. My knees are

961
00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:40.679
<v Speaker 6>yelling at me right now. Think about playing pick a ball?

962
00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:42.599
<v Speaker 2>What was your favorite commercial?

963
00:44:43.800 --> 00:44:44.679
<v Speaker 5>I like the.

964
00:44:44.559 --> 00:44:48.199
<v Speaker 6>One was was Bill Friederd dressed as an elf and

965
00:44:48.639 --> 00:44:55.119
<v Speaker 6>have maybe remember that. And my favorite memory is is

966
00:44:55.320 --> 00:44:58.320
<v Speaker 6>he was always the name was wrong. Yeah, and you

967
00:44:58.360 --> 00:45:00.239
<v Speaker 6>know he's always not denied a credit card, but he

968
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:02.599
<v Speaker 6>just like he Yeah for some like who is this guy?

969
00:45:02.679 --> 00:45:06.239
<v Speaker 6>Ludelson was so smooth, you know him and I knew

970
00:45:06.320 --> 00:45:09.000
<v Speaker 6>Ludelson in a couple of different ways, and when he

971
00:45:09.039 --> 00:45:11.400
<v Speaker 6>walked in the room, you knew he was.

972
00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:14.599
<v Speaker 5>His charisma preceded. I mean he was, he was all

973
00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:15.039
<v Speaker 5>of that.

974
00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:16.960
<v Speaker 2>I say this all the time because when people ask

975
00:45:17.039 --> 00:45:19.519
<v Speaker 2>me when they're doing stories. He had a regal and

976
00:45:19.639 --> 00:45:22.679
<v Speaker 2>towering presence, just a just a dude, like you know,

977
00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:25.000
<v Speaker 2>my friends was coming and we'd go out and then

978
00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:26.280
<v Speaker 2>he'd show up and whatever.

979
00:45:27.320 --> 00:45:29.599
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, when you forget how tall he was, because he

980
00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:31.880
<v Speaker 6>was always standing around the six eight, six nine guys

981
00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:33.599
<v Speaker 6>and then he was six four and.

982
00:45:34.519 --> 00:45:35.320
<v Speaker 2>He shook his hands.

983
00:45:35.360 --> 00:45:38.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah yeah, huge, huge hands, and he had big rings

984
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:40.960
<v Speaker 6>on after he started, you know, and it just he

985
00:45:41.320 --> 00:45:42.719
<v Speaker 6>I was at some event he stepped out of a

986
00:45:42.760 --> 00:45:45.920
<v Speaker 6>limo and I said, I coach, and he's and you know,

987
00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:48.320
<v Speaker 6>you're just in awe of him.

988
00:45:48.480 --> 00:45:50.880
<v Speaker 2>His hand would envelope your Uh. Yeah.

989
00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:51.119
<v Speaker 15>No.

990
00:45:51.320 --> 00:45:55.599
<v Speaker 2>Another favorite one was the oh I just lost it

991
00:45:55.639 --> 00:45:58.440
<v Speaker 2>was the airport one. I said, the Flowby one, the

992
00:45:58.679 --> 00:46:03.119
<v Speaker 2>credit card you know, hello, mister Wilson, coach. God there

993
00:46:03.239 --> 00:46:04.800
<v Speaker 2>was I just lost it. It'll come to me.

994
00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:07.239
<v Speaker 6>So I didn't know that they shot those. It makes

995
00:46:07.239 --> 00:46:09.159
<v Speaker 6>sense that they would shoot them in their off season,

996
00:46:09.280 --> 00:46:11.360
<v Speaker 6>you know, three or four at a time in one

997
00:46:11.400 --> 00:46:13.599
<v Speaker 6>location and just pivot. I mean, that's how we make

998
00:46:13.639 --> 00:46:17.039
<v Speaker 6>TV commercials at TMC IS is we we turn, you know,

999
00:46:17.119 --> 00:46:19.119
<v Speaker 6>we we're pretty much in one location and we turn

1000
00:46:19.719 --> 00:46:22.559
<v Speaker 6>you know, twenty, you know, ninety degrees one way, then

1001
00:46:22.559 --> 00:46:24.039
<v Speaker 6>we turned ninety degrees the next and so it's a

1002
00:46:24.039 --> 00:46:26.920
<v Speaker 6>different shot each place, and you don't move your camera

1003
00:46:27.039 --> 00:46:27.960
<v Speaker 6>too far right.

1004
00:46:28.159 --> 00:46:29.519
<v Speaker 5>And so I can see that they would do that.

1005
00:46:29.679 --> 00:46:31.239
<v Speaker 2>Here was the other one, because I get he's the

1006
00:46:31.239 --> 00:46:34.920
<v Speaker 2>book this lot time where he's at the barber's and

1007
00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:36.639
<v Speaker 2>the guy says, so, Freda, we're going to make you

1008
00:46:36.679 --> 00:46:38.519
<v Speaker 2>the best looking coach in the state.

1009
00:46:38.599 --> 00:46:43.599
<v Speaker 5>That's right, I mean, what a good sport.

1010
00:46:43.599 --> 00:46:45.000
<v Speaker 6>I know they got paid, and he talked about how

1011
00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:46.599
<v Speaker 6>much money they got paid, but you know, you really

1012
00:46:46.599 --> 00:46:51.800
<v Speaker 6>have to be a good sport on Bill's art to play,

1013
00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:53.480
<v Speaker 6>you know, the slobby guy at.

1014
00:46:53.360 --> 00:46:55.559
<v Speaker 2>The loots and he was laughing all the way to

1015
00:46:55.559 --> 00:46:55.800
<v Speaker 2>the bank.

1016
00:46:55.920 --> 00:46:58.079
<v Speaker 6>Sure he did not care, I'm sure, but you have

1017
00:46:58.159 --> 00:47:00.760
<v Speaker 6>to be really comfortable on yourself. And even said that,

1018
00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:02.440
<v Speaker 6>Lou said, I'm not dressing up like a right, I

1019
00:47:02.440 --> 00:47:03.840
<v Speaker 6>don't do that.

1020
00:47:03.960 --> 00:47:08.039
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't Yeah, yeah, no, makes sense.

1021
00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:08.960
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

1022
00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:10.880
<v Speaker 2>And again to me, those were the good old pies

1023
00:47:11.440 --> 00:47:14.119
<v Speaker 2>for stuff and access, And you're right, I would. I

1024
00:47:14.119 --> 00:47:16.559
<v Speaker 2>would when he's when we talked to like I said

1025
00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:18.880
<v Speaker 2>two weeks ago, I think who would be the perfect

1026
00:47:19.400 --> 00:47:22.119
<v Speaker 2>for Tommy and Bobby or whomever that to do kind

1027
00:47:22.119 --> 00:47:23.960
<v Speaker 2>of revisit some commercials.

1028
00:47:24.280 --> 00:47:26.000
<v Speaker 6>I think it's you know, we didn't have a chance

1029
00:47:26.039 --> 00:47:27.920
<v Speaker 6>to ask him, you know, but like he did talk

1030
00:47:27.920 --> 00:47:29.920
<v Speaker 6>about the state of sports, but I would also ask him,

1031
00:47:29.920 --> 00:47:32.719
<v Speaker 6>you know, like the state of of advertising and in

1032
00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:35.599
<v Speaker 6>game experience. You know, he's he's a savvy marketer. You know,

1033
00:47:35.679 --> 00:47:38.960
<v Speaker 6>what would he do? You know, I think that it's

1034
00:47:39.000 --> 00:47:41.719
<v Speaker 6>going to take some creative minds like that. You know,

1035
00:47:41.760 --> 00:47:43.880
<v Speaker 6>there was a Snoop dog ball. I mean those people pivoted.

1036
00:47:43.880 --> 00:47:47.480
<v Speaker 6>And then it's an experience around the game. You know,

1037
00:47:47.519 --> 00:47:50.039
<v Speaker 6>you're having a party and that just happens football game, right,

1038
00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:53.280
<v Speaker 6>That's that's it, right, And that's and that's what people do.

1039
00:47:53.320 --> 00:47:55.760
<v Speaker 6>And that's you know you talked about Bill Fader. I

1040
00:47:55.800 --> 00:47:57.840
<v Speaker 6>mean that's he had a he had a party every night.

1041
00:47:57.880 --> 00:47:59.079
<v Speaker 6>There was a baseball game in the middle.

1042
00:47:59.400 --> 00:48:02.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, he said, it's like when you go to hockey. Yeah, yeah,

1043
00:48:02.440 --> 00:48:04.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, it happens there's a fight, but you know

1044
00:48:04.079 --> 00:48:04.559
<v Speaker 2>it happened to.

1045
00:48:04.519 --> 00:48:08.280
<v Speaker 5>Be a hockey game broke out yea, yeah, yeah, true.

1046
00:48:08.320 --> 00:48:10.679
<v Speaker 2>True again, anybody want to call. I think we have

1047
00:48:10.719 --> 00:48:14.199
<v Speaker 2>a few more minutes, but four five to four, one, six,

1048
00:48:14.239 --> 00:48:17.880
<v Speaker 2>seventy four forty. Tomorrow's game noon, so early riser. By

1049
00:48:17.880 --> 00:48:20.360
<v Speaker 2>the way, I'm not going to be in a studio Monday.

1050
00:48:20.719 --> 00:48:23.320
<v Speaker 2>It's Martin Luther King Day. So I said, hell with it,

1051
00:48:23.400 --> 00:48:25.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm not coming in even though it's the day of

1052
00:48:25.599 --> 00:48:26.480
<v Speaker 2>the championship game.

1053
00:48:26.960 --> 00:48:29.320
<v Speaker 5>Well, you need to get a pregame for the championship game.

1054
00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:32.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm doing going to do it now, Jay and

1055
00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:34.239
<v Speaker 2>I am not going to make our picks public here today.

1056
00:48:34.239 --> 00:48:36.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't think we didn't talk, but he did take

1057
00:48:36.440 --> 00:48:40.400
<v Speaker 2>the lead over me, which was like a shocking, painful.

1058
00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:42.079
<v Speaker 6>It's like the first time in like seventeen years that

1059
00:48:42.199 --> 00:48:43.199
<v Speaker 6>he's taken the lead over.

1060
00:48:43.239 --> 00:48:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, the first is seventeen weeks probably, but he's got

1061
00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:47.039
<v Speaker 2>the lead on me by half a game.

1062
00:48:47.119 --> 00:48:48.440
<v Speaker 6>I was worried that I was going to gut him

1063
00:48:48.440 --> 00:48:51.800
<v Speaker 6>because I was. I was running Minnesota. But your Tampa

1064
00:48:51.800 --> 00:48:53.360
<v Speaker 6>Bay Bucks, they didn't help you out.

1065
00:48:53.599 --> 00:48:55.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I need a Tempa Bayta well, and I would

1066
00:48:55.599 --> 00:48:56.280
<v Speaker 2>have easily won this.

1067
00:48:56.320 --> 00:48:58.320
<v Speaker 5>But day, so are you going to tell us who

1068
00:48:58.320 --> 00:48:59.440
<v Speaker 5>you're picking for the national Game?

1069
00:48:59.559 --> 00:49:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Are you that's easy? Yeah, I'm taking a hostate. Hosting

1070
00:49:03.079 --> 00:49:06.480
<v Speaker 2>might have eaten a half. I think it is. Notre

1071
00:49:06.599 --> 00:49:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Dame could play very well.

1072
00:49:07.519 --> 00:49:07.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

1073
00:49:09.400 --> 00:49:12.400
<v Speaker 6>I don't Notre Dame surprised me last time, so you

1074
00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:15.280
<v Speaker 6>never know. I mean, yeah, it'll be fun to watch.

1075
00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:21.239
<v Speaker 6>And you know, I really love you know, especially these kids.

1076
00:49:21.280 --> 00:49:23.480
<v Speaker 6>You know, I coached high school and then you watch kids.

1077
00:49:23.519 --> 00:49:25.960
<v Speaker 6>You know, ninety five ninety nine percent of those kids

1078
00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:28.920
<v Speaker 6>on the field probably aren't going to play pro football. Yeah,

1079
00:49:28.920 --> 00:49:30.840
<v Speaker 6>so this is it, you know, this is their moment,

1080
00:49:31.159 --> 00:49:33.880
<v Speaker 6>and I get chills thinking about that for those kids.

1081
00:49:34.119 --> 00:49:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, no, you start getting paid. Good, good for them.

1082
00:49:36.840 --> 00:49:38.960
<v Speaker 5>But hey, I you know, I hope, I hope you're

1083
00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:39.400
<v Speaker 5>getting paid.

1084
00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:40.880
<v Speaker 6>I know you're getting paid, and I just I hope

1085
00:49:40.880 --> 00:49:44.079
<v Speaker 6>they have some some valuable people or some good people

1086
00:49:44.119 --> 00:49:45.519
<v Speaker 6>behind them giving valuable advice.

1087
00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:48.760
<v Speaker 2>What would you what would you think? I know you

1088
00:49:48.760 --> 00:49:50.960
<v Speaker 2>probably don't know enough about the topic, but what would

1089
00:49:50.960 --> 00:49:53.559
<v Speaker 2>you think people or players like this should be paid

1090
00:49:54.400 --> 00:49:58.599
<v Speaker 2>paid to get paid? You know? One point five one

1091
00:49:58.639 --> 00:50:00.840
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand thousand.

1092
00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:02.800
<v Speaker 5>Well, you know, so the question is do you get

1093
00:50:02.800 --> 00:50:03.719
<v Speaker 5>paid on uh?

1094
00:50:03.880 --> 00:50:04.199
<v Speaker 3>Is it A?

1095
00:50:04.400 --> 00:50:06.920
<v Speaker 6>Is it A is a uniform salary for the entire team?

1096
00:50:06.960 --> 00:50:08.679
<v Speaker 6>So is it starting five mikes a million?

1097
00:50:08.920 --> 00:50:09.679
<v Speaker 2>That's the whole problem.

1098
00:50:09.760 --> 00:50:11.400
<v Speaker 5>You know, what if I that's if I get.

1099
00:50:11.199 --> 00:50:13.519
<v Speaker 6>Benched and now I'm in the I'm an a player rotation,

1100
00:50:14.320 --> 00:50:14.960
<v Speaker 6>that's a problem.

1101
00:50:15.079 --> 00:50:18.039
<v Speaker 2>And you know, Tim, Tim, if you have some dude

1102
00:50:18.400 --> 00:50:21.239
<v Speaker 2>who's a right guard not getting paid as much as

1103
00:50:21.320 --> 00:50:23.679
<v Speaker 2>left guard and the tackle and then the quarterbacks making

1104
00:50:23.960 --> 00:50:26.480
<v Speaker 2>this because I have to make holes for him to

1105
00:50:26.559 --> 00:50:29.400
<v Speaker 2>run in or to pass over. I don't know. The

1106
00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:31.400
<v Speaker 2>human human element is part of this.

1107
00:50:32.199 --> 00:50:34.639
<v Speaker 6>Well, you know, people talk about how it's the minor league,

1108
00:50:34.639 --> 00:50:36.679
<v Speaker 6>and it's it's you know people, you're gonna have to

1109
00:50:36.679 --> 00:50:37.239
<v Speaker 6>get used to it.

1110
00:50:37.320 --> 00:50:40.159
<v Speaker 5>But there's still eighteen nineteen twenty year old kids.

1111
00:50:40.159 --> 00:50:42.880
<v Speaker 2>You're not Actually my question too how much?

1112
00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:45.960
<v Speaker 5>How much two hundred and fifty thousand dollars each?

1113
00:50:46.400 --> 00:50:46.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

1114
00:50:47.159 --> 00:50:47.400
<v Speaker 7>Wow?

1115
00:50:47.760 --> 00:50:51.079
<v Speaker 6>And then as you imagined, and then it's incentive based

1116
00:50:51.199 --> 00:50:53.960
<v Speaker 6>if if you know, if we make well you know.

1117
00:50:53.920 --> 00:50:57.079
<v Speaker 2>What you're bringing that done. I'm sorry interrupt, but I

1118
00:50:57.159 --> 00:50:58.719
<v Speaker 2>want to say this. Yeah, I think that's what the

1119
00:50:59.039 --> 00:51:00.480
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be in the ball work for the

1120
00:51:00.480 --> 00:51:02.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty million dollars. Sure, it's going to be about two

1121
00:51:02.800 --> 00:51:03.320
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand.

1122
00:51:03.320 --> 00:51:05.639
<v Speaker 6>And I read today that there's a ruling that Title

1123
00:51:05.719 --> 00:51:07.559
<v Speaker 6>nine is going to have some impact on this.

1124
00:51:07.719 --> 00:51:07.920
<v Speaker 3>You know.

1125
00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:12.199
<v Speaker 6>So it's the money that's being spent is called student aid.

1126
00:51:12.920 --> 00:51:14.519
<v Speaker 6>And I haven't done a lot of research on it,

1127
00:51:14.519 --> 00:51:16.400
<v Speaker 6>but I did a little reading and it looks like

1128
00:51:16.719 --> 00:51:19.159
<v Speaker 6>there's an initial ruling that Title nine, which is a

1129
00:51:19.800 --> 00:51:22.159
<v Speaker 6>isn't an equality thing that's been around since, you know,

1130
00:51:22.360 --> 00:51:26.360
<v Speaker 6>probably fifty years close to it, might apply to this

1131
00:51:27.480 --> 00:51:30.280
<v Speaker 6>way money. Is that you equal distribution.

1132
00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:33.159
<v Speaker 2>Which would be great for the women's sports.

1133
00:51:33.639 --> 00:51:36.159
<v Speaker 6>And I'm an advocate for that. I think that wow.

1134
00:51:36.719 --> 00:51:38.559
<v Speaker 6>And I'm an advocate for women's sports and then a

1135
00:51:38.639 --> 00:51:41.079
<v Speaker 6>minor sports too. You know, the cross country kids, you know,

1136
00:51:41.119 --> 00:51:44.760
<v Speaker 6>they're they're helping your GPA too, sure, and they're working

1137
00:51:44.800 --> 00:51:46.960
<v Speaker 6>just they're representing university just as hard.

1138
00:51:47.400 --> 00:51:51.360
<v Speaker 5>You know, the football team is outside they have eighty

1139
00:51:51.400 --> 00:51:52.400
<v Speaker 5>five ninety.

1140
00:51:52.079 --> 00:51:55.519
<v Speaker 2>Guys, sure, and they but they do bring in the revenue.

1141
00:51:55.079 --> 00:51:58.440
<v Speaker 5>They sure do. But do they bring in the prestige

1142
00:51:58.440 --> 00:51:58.960
<v Speaker 5>all the time?

1143
00:51:59.199 --> 00:52:01.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, well, no, because if they're not any good,

1144
00:52:01.400 --> 00:52:04.559
<v Speaker 2>they don't, let's go. We gotta go. Hendry giving the nod.

1145
00:52:04.559 --> 00:52:07.199
<v Speaker 2>Henry's giving the nod. He's the boss today. Let's toe

1146
00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:09.039
<v Speaker 2>and come back. You gotta breaking news for us? Yeah.

1147
00:52:09.159 --> 00:52:09.440
<v Speaker 5>Cool,
