Speaker 2: fat pickings today. But we didn't have a second I
Speaker 2: don't have a second interview.
Speaker 3: We don't have a second guest. But there's still lots
Speaker 3: to talk about. The first college football poll is out.
Speaker 3: We talk about that. The USA Today Coaches poll is out.
Speaker 3: We can run through that a little bit. Okay, a
Speaker 3: little bit of a surprise to me in what I saw,
Speaker 3: But there's that. So then means we're getting close to Seve.
Speaker 3: We're getting close to football.
Speaker 2: Yeah, three uh three weeks from.
Speaker 3: Just under just under three weeks right, a week two
Speaker 3: weeks from Thursday?
Speaker 2: Right, is that right? Two weeks from there's a game
Speaker 2: in England, right or something? Like that Florida State.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because there's that there's some games the weekend of
Speaker 3: the twenty fourth, So two weeks from Saturday, I should say, uh,
Speaker 3: two weeks from this coming Saturday, we've got some college
Speaker 3: football and then it really gets going basically in three
Speaker 3: weeks from this Thursday, when everybody gets started and the
Speaker 3: Arizona plays on the thirty first.
Speaker 2: Okay, so we're getting there. Yeah, So this was I
Speaker 2: think we're practiced. Four it for you, Arizona say one
Speaker 2: two three one two three five Today they practice Today,
Speaker 2: will be five day, yes and Sunday Saturday off they played.
Speaker 2: They practice Sunday and yesterday. So progress, progress is hopefully
Speaker 2: being made. We'll see, we'll see what happens. We'll see. Yeah.
Speaker 3: You know, it kind of gets quiet here right because
Speaker 3: we don't I mean, everybody's seeing things and so you know,
Speaker 3: but you don't know what you're seeing, right, right, It's
Speaker 3: it's mostly about who's there, who's.
Speaker 2: Not, who's catching passes and who's not. Right, I don't
Speaker 2: in my mind, I know that Lev does his five
Speaker 2: things people big through observations, But what does August fifth
Speaker 2: have to do with September tenth? Yeah?
Speaker 3: But look for me, it's it's reading about football that's
Speaker 3: actually happening.
Speaker 2: That's why. You know, Yeah, of course I read that
Speaker 2: stuff and you stay tuned, you stay in tune with
Speaker 2: but more.
Speaker 3: Because I just like the fact that we're getting that close,
Speaker 3: that there's you know, there's guys on the field. They're
Speaker 3: wearing helmets and they're throwing the ball and things and
Speaker 3: stuff is happening. They're getting ready to play. That's why
Speaker 3: I like it in terms of, you know, absorbing everything
Speaker 3: they're saying. I mean, the stuff can change every day,
Speaker 3: so you know, you really take everything for what it's worth.
Speaker 3: Same same with the polls, right, all the poles are
Speaker 3: going to start coming out of the Epopole is going
Speaker 3: to come out soon. Everybody's doing their top twenty five
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, it's just fun because we can
Speaker 3: talk about it now. That's why I like it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, and it's something for us to talk about.
Speaker 2: It's something to do since we don't have a guest
Speaker 2: in the first hour, so lit'tle better not repete on
Speaker 2: Henry's breaking news. But let's let's go there if you
Speaker 2: want to go there with the with the.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the poll is out, Uh, It's funny because they
Speaker 3: you know, and and and as always happens, right, people
Speaker 3: start picking at it. I only saw that it was
Speaker 3: out because I followed Pat forty on on Twitter, and uh,
Speaker 3: I saw his posts saying that the apple that the
Speaker 3: USA Today poll is out, and he said, clearly, clearly
Speaker 3: a bunch of people.
Speaker 2: Did not do their homework.
Speaker 3: So so he was immediately ripping ripping on it, and
Speaker 3: and uh they put there. They came out with Georgia
Speaker 3: number one.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that I didn't read his story.
Speaker 3: If he wrote a story, I didn't read it. All
Speaker 3: I saw was that was that that he said, Uh, clearly,
Speaker 3: you know somebody, a lot of people on this who
Speaker 3: voted didn't do their homework. So I'm like, okay, so
Speaker 3: they didn't do their homework, So what do you what
Speaker 3: are you saying?
Speaker 2: And I did I didn't. I didn't go uh, I
Speaker 2: didn't go beyond that. But here I'll run it down. Uh.
Speaker 3: I think one of the things that he suggested was
Speaker 3: that Michigan was too high.
Speaker 2: Well, you're talking about voters, right right, voters. You you're
Speaker 2: a voter. I was a voter at one point, of course.
Speaker 2: I mean you're not gonna be able to see all
Speaker 2: the see the teams. You don't know about the teams.
Speaker 2: You get the magazines, right, you're guessing, you're guessing, you're guessing.
Speaker 3: So so here here's the here's the top five for
Speaker 3: to start with, you got Georgia number one, followed by
Speaker 3: Ohio State at number two, Oregon number three, uh, Texas
Speaker 3: number four, and then Alabama number five. So the of
Speaker 3: the SEC and Big Big Ten have all five teams
Speaker 3: to three SEC teams, two Big Ten teams in the
Speaker 3: top five. Then you go to Ole, miss another SEC team,
Speaker 3: then Notre Dame at seven. Uh, here's a littbus surprise,
Speaker 3: Michigan at eight. There's a lot to talk about with Michigan.
Speaker 3: By the way, if you've been paying attention to all
Speaker 3: the stuff related to the Connor Stallion stuff, But Michigan
Speaker 3: at number eight, you know you almost have to put
Speaker 3: the defending national champion somewhere up there, don't you.
Speaker 2: Well, that's the whole thing. I mean, some people are
Speaker 2: doing that just by reputation in that by even the
Speaker 2: way you asked the question, right, I don't know, I
Speaker 2: don't know, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: But then again, well, let me let me keep going down.
Speaker 3: Who else is Penn State at nine, Florida State at ten,
Speaker 3: Missouri at eleven, LSU at twelve, and then the first
Speaker 3: non sec uh non SEC.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: I take by Florida State as the first non SEC
Speaker 3: Big ten team. Well Dame, I keep not really backing
Speaker 3: it up. Okay, Notre Dames independent at eight at seven,
Speaker 3: Florida State at ten, So you have to get down
Speaker 3: to there before you get to a non SEC team,
Speaker 3: because they got Missouri LC two more SEC teams in
Speaker 3: Utah number thirteen. That's the first Big twelve team. But
Speaker 3: then there's a run of them Clemson at fourteen, Tennessee fifteen,
Speaker 3: Oklahoma sixteen, Kansas State seventeen, Oklahoma State eighteen, Miami nineteen,
Speaker 3: Texas A and m twenty. Arizona coming in at twenty one,
Speaker 3: NC State at twenty two, USC at twenty three. Go
Speaker 3: figure that Arizona ranked higher than USC. Then you got
Speaker 3: Kansas twenty four and I with.
Speaker 2: Twenty five, so their second in the league.
Speaker 3: So they've got They've got Arizona third, So it's Utah, Utah,
Speaker 3: Kansas State No. Fourth, Utah, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, and
Speaker 3: then Arizona.
Speaker 2: That's fair.
Speaker 3: That seems about right. Bret McMurphy, who's a who's an
Speaker 3: AP voter, put out his AP poll and he doesn't
Speaker 3: have Arizona in the top twenty five. He's got five
Speaker 3: big twelve teams, but none of them are Arizona. He's
Speaker 3: got again Utah, Utah, Oklahoma State see Utah, Kansas State,
Speaker 3: Oklahoma State at ten, eleven, and twelve.
Speaker 2: Then you go down to let me see you get down.
Speaker 3: To twenty three, he's got Iowa State, and then at
Speaker 3: twenty five he's got Kansas. So he's got five teams
Speaker 3: ahead of Arizona there that it creates.
Speaker 2: A lot of debate, right, yeah, sure, and it's fun
Speaker 2: and there's so many, so many voters like fifty or so.
Speaker 2: Like I said, it's fun. Am I Well know those
Speaker 2: are coaches that those are That was the coaches, but
Speaker 2: that Bret McMurphy is an AP voter, so that's his apeopole.
Speaker 3: But the coaches have Arizona twenty first. So you know,
Speaker 3: I think I think in this in this the whole
Speaker 3: realignment thing has really changed how people are voting too, right.
Speaker 3: I feel like they're looking at conferences before they're looking
Speaker 3: at two teams, right, I gotta put I gotta put
Speaker 3: all these teams from the ACC, from the SEC in
Speaker 3: the Big ten ahead of everybody else because they're the
Speaker 3: two conferences that are making the most money and have
Speaker 3: the most players.
Speaker 2: And Yetta Yet yeahda, you know, I do. I think
Speaker 2: Utah is better than thirteenth in the country. I do.
Speaker 3: But then again, if cam Rising gets hurt, then they're
Speaker 3: not right. And people are looking at Arizona the same way.
Speaker 3: You know, they see no Flafida. He's kind of a
Speaker 3: small guy. If he gets hurt, in trouble. But who
Speaker 3: isn't in trouble if the quarterback right gets hurt. I
Speaker 3: did note that in neither of those in the coaches
Speaker 3: pulled nor and Bret McMurphy's pole.
Speaker 2: There's no sign in Washington. Yeah, there's not gonna be. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they've got to win. What's the over runner for five
Speaker 2: games thinking I think it was five and a half
Speaker 2: last week. Yeah, good luck with that. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So, but you know, the Kansas State Arizona game looming large, right,
Speaker 3: Kansas State is gonna be ranked, Arizona's ranked, and they're
Speaker 3: both ranked in the in the coaches poll. So that's
Speaker 3: you know, you come out of the box, you know,
Speaker 3: three games in and you got to play, you know,
Speaker 3: a ranked team at their place.
Speaker 2: That should be fun. Yeah, I think it will be.
Speaker 2: I like this, Steve, you know, I like this. Here's
Speaker 2: why I like this because Arizona's in all these conversations
Speaker 2: right about playing ranked teams and stuff like that. Yeah. No,
Speaker 2: And it's gonna be fun. It's an important game. It's
Speaker 2: gonna be different, it's gonna be fun, a lot of interest.
Speaker 2: I hope it's a lot of local interest. We'll see. Uh,
Speaker 2: it's it's gonna be Arizona the thirty first, is that right,
Speaker 2: thirty first, thirtieth, and then they come back again with
Speaker 2: any of U.
Speaker 3: They got They've got Yeah, they've got uh New Mexico
Speaker 3: on the thirty first Saturday night, and then they've got
Speaker 3: then they yeah, like you said, they come back, they've
Speaker 3: got NAU and.
Speaker 2: Then that that Kansas State game is a Friday night game.
Speaker 2: Friday night game. Yeah. Yeah, so it should be good
Speaker 2: and we'll know a little bit more in the first
Speaker 2: two weeks, not a whole lot. But then they go
Speaker 2: to Kansas State and uh, let's see We're already talking
Speaker 2: about if they go to and two, which could happen
Speaker 2: with the gauntlet of back and back with Utah after
Speaker 2: the Kansas State game, and those would be the two tough,
Speaker 2: supposed to be too hard game, presumably young. Look, I'm
Speaker 2: as you know, I'm the voice of reasons, Dave. Where
Speaker 2: are you at in Arizona football?
Speaker 3: Where I'm going with this is that I'm preparing the
Speaker 3: people I hang with my group who think Arizona is
Speaker 3: going to go ten and two every year you are,
Speaker 3: I'm preparing them to say, don't be surprised if far
Speaker 3: zone is two and two, don't lose your mind. The
Speaker 3: fair zones two and two.
Speaker 2: Have you said that to them? Yes? And what they say?
Speaker 2: A couple of them said, yeah, but we should win
Speaker 2: one of the two. Is what they say. Who are
Speaker 2: these people who are your friends? Well, a couple of
Speaker 2: my brothers. Well one of them I know is a
Speaker 2: couple of reasonable guys. You know they're they're former judges, right,
Speaker 2: Well what did they judge? They judged you and me,
Speaker 2: and they put a bunch of people in prison. Recall, recall,
Speaker 2: and then you know, just some guys that I hang with, Uh,
Speaker 2: you're just trying to make good graces just to case. No,
Speaker 2: I'm just you know, look like I said, I'm just
Speaker 2: trying to I'm just trying to get them to understand that.
Speaker 2: You know, look, those are the those are the two
Speaker 2: hardest games on the schedule. If they lose both of
Speaker 2: those games, all things are still possible because only one
Speaker 2: of them is a conference game, right, no question, right question.
Speaker 2: And if they play well against those teams, then I
Speaker 2: don't hope. I don't think they're gonna go in there
Speaker 2: and get blasted.
Speaker 3: I just I if you put an after my throat
Speaker 3: right now and said, what do you think is going
Speaker 3: to happen?
Speaker 2: I would say they're gonna lose both games, go to
Speaker 2: and two. Right, I'd say they're gonna go too and
Speaker 2: two and then who knows after that, And if they
Speaker 2: go three and one, then happy day for Arizona football fans. Right.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the I'm looking at the wind total.
Speaker 2: So Washington is six and a half. Would you take that?
Speaker 2: Go under? You'd go under? Well, I don't know because
Speaker 2: I haven't seen their schedule, but I would go under anything.
Speaker 3: This is on DraftKings and Arizona on DraftKings, who I
Speaker 3: unfortunately got them at eight, are now.
Speaker 2: Back down to seven. Oh draft Kings. Yes, Oh, they're
Speaker 2: down to seven and a half on draftings. Well, I
Speaker 2: wonder if it's the team map the situation. I don't know,
Speaker 2: but they're minus one twenty at seven and a half
Speaker 2: because I did not know that. Okay, the over over
Speaker 2: seven and a half, it's minus one twenty. Well, I
Speaker 2: still think that's very possible, very double.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do, and I think and I do feel
Speaker 3: that if they if they get one of those two games,
Speaker 3: either Utah or Kansas State, that that seven and a
Speaker 3: half or eight is a really really good number becomes
Speaker 3: a really really good number if it's if it's if
Speaker 3: they lose one of those, if they lose both of
Speaker 3: those games, they can still get it.
Speaker 2: But it's going to be harder, obviously. I mean that's
Speaker 2: State in the obvious right there.
Speaker 3: So I don't know, Well, you know, I mean, look
Speaker 3: the by us on their schedule, By used it four
Speaker 3: and a half. I mean, you know, some of these
Speaker 3: teams that you think are gonna be hard to beat,
Speaker 3: I mean it's gonna be hard to go up to
Speaker 3: b YU and win because as we had great handsome
Speaker 3: on the show. Their stadium is gonna be full. They're
Speaker 3: always waiting for Arizona. They think Arizona always thought it
Speaker 3: was bigger than it, bigger than its bridges or whatever
Speaker 3: you call because they kind of get they got left
Speaker 3: behind in the Mountain West and they feel like, you know,
Speaker 3: they should have been long ago, and they should have
Speaker 3: been in the Pac ten a long time ago, and
Speaker 3: the Pack ten just wouldn't take them.
Speaker 2: So you know they're gonna be waiting for Airs. Well.
Speaker 2: A lot of the schools are living off the reputation,
Speaker 2: and sportswriters who vote on these things know about the reputation,
Speaker 2: not so much about what they have coming back. But
Speaker 2: they have losing. Here's one for you, New Mexico. But
Speaker 2: they're over under three two two. Yeah, that's a good number.
Speaker 2: They're not gonna be any good. I think they're over too.
Speaker 2: I don't know their schedule, but they have a new coach.
Speaker 2: They weren't very good last year. They're not very good.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't touch that one. Yeah, because you're gonna push
Speaker 2: at the very least. I don't like them when they
Speaker 2: don't have a hook on them. If they're not you
Speaker 2: don't have a point five because you push mostly because
Speaker 2: you can push for release.
Speaker 3: All right, God, worry to our first break. Hey, all right,

Speaker 3: more about this stuff. Lots to talk about, and then

Speaker 3: the Arizona Media, Yes, property, Yes, I don't know sports product.
Speaker 3: I don't know if they know what to say. And
Speaker 3: it's not just quite on. It's all quite on all fronts.
Speaker 3: But I mean the things they've come out and said,
Speaker 3: Brian Jefferson is still going to be here right, right,
Speaker 3: But there's still not any kind of you know, plan,
Speaker 3: plan or a contract or whatever whatever's needed to set
Speaker 3: the organization as to what it is.
Speaker 2: Right Well, in fact, we saw David de Kelly last
Speaker 2: week last week money. Yeah, they haven't signed, Ye, that
Speaker 2: station hasn't set at least they had that as of
Speaker 2: last week, right, They may have done that before, so
Speaker 2: it's still out in the air. We have three weeks left.
Speaker 2: I'm sure even if they don't sign, I'm sure they're
Speaker 2: going to continue as is. Who knows they're shopping it around.
Speaker 2: Do we know we have our guys here. How much
Speaker 2: you have about five bucks in your bucket? Henry? Henry?
Speaker 2: I bought Henry lunch. Does he got some change in
Speaker 2: my give us a loan, get some change in my car?
Speaker 2: But yeah, you know, I mean, what what is it
Speaker 2: going to be and what's it going to look like?
Speaker 2: Because they've all heard the you know, a presentation of
Speaker 2: lear Field Sports. Well that's gone. That's what's gone. Right,
Speaker 2: So now what's it called Arizona Sports Sports Properties? There is, yeah,
Speaker 2: something like that. I don't Steve, you're doing a story
Speaker 2: on this, not today, there's no sports properties. I don't know,
Speaker 2: I don't know what it's called. But you know, but again,
Speaker 2: you know, we have you know, it's been kind of
Speaker 2: quiet on all that run. The only thing that has
Speaker 2: to have been quiet was football. Everything else we know
Speaker 2: is going on right now. Are you looking it up?
Speaker 2: I'm trying to. Yeah, Okay, it's not on the website anymore.
Speaker 3: It's called Wildcat Sports Properties. No, that was the old
Speaker 3: and that was the old Arizona Sports Enterprises.
Speaker 2: The building have you seen that? The facility they're building
Speaker 2: on Campbell south of Yeah, the media bears on the
Speaker 2: public media, so you know, they have to find place
Speaker 2: the old cave. They had to find a place to
Speaker 2: publish all these things. Equipment, there's a lot of things
Speaker 2: that I think that's part of it that they really
Speaker 2: we we've got to have a studio to get our guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's all part of it. Arizona Sports Enterprises
Speaker 3: a SE. Remember that a SE, and then we'll always
Speaker 3: come up with Arizona Sports Enterprises.
Speaker 2: But whatever that.
Speaker 3: You know, they've announced it, but they haven't really told
Speaker 3: us what it is, which is not alarming, but I'm
Speaker 3: I'm it's curious to me. Uh, it's curious why we
Speaker 3: still don't know what that is and and what it involves.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: Here's here's why it's curious to me, is because it
Speaker 3: almost makes you feel like they really didn't plan this out.
Speaker 2: No, well, a lot of it has to do with money.
Speaker 2: I think they even took a shorter price on it.
Speaker 2: What I was told, or at least told from a
Speaker 2: third party, that they took less for it because they
Speaker 2: want to have it as their own. Could it could
Speaker 2: be true, could not be true?
Speaker 3: Yeah, So anyway, so we so we still don't know,
Speaker 3: and we'd love to get brand Jeffries on the show
Speaker 3: and talk about it. But I think, you know, nobody
Speaker 3: really saying anything until something gets announced, right, And.
Speaker 2: That's what we're trying to find. Yeah, okay, I'm curious. Okay,
Speaker 2: so you go to the games and you watch games.
Speaker 2: We know people who go to the games to listen
Speaker 2: to the radio. What do you think to cut down
Speaker 2: is going to games in person?
Speaker 10: TV?
Speaker 2: Radio? Oh well, I mean, you know more people watch
Speaker 2: it on TV just because they don't go to they
Speaker 2: go to the game. Yeah, so sixty Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: radio radio is let's say a given football game. Okay,
Speaker 2: it's for people in their car, right, maybe people at work,
Speaker 2: you know, who can't watch the game. But if you're
Speaker 2: sitting at home, you're watching the game, you're watching it
Speaker 2: on TV. You're not listening to it on the radio.
Speaker 2: Unless you're not you don't have an ESPN Plus or
Speaker 2: didn't have a PAC.
Speaker 3: Twelve, you know, access to PAC twelve, then you're listening
Speaker 3: to it on the radio. But pretty much all the
Speaker 3: games run somewhere where you could see them, and then
Speaker 3: people who listen to it at the stadium. I take
Speaker 3: a radio and I put those guys on and I
Speaker 3: listened to it run in the stadium.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you're not alone too. There's lots of people
Speaker 2: who do that. Yeah, there's a lot. You see people
Speaker 2: with headphones, you know, all over the place. So there's
Speaker 2: a lot of people who listen to it that way.
Speaker 2: I think because of the the need to have an
Speaker 2: ESPN Plus subscription, maybe listenership on the radio goes up
Speaker 2: a little bit. I don't know, you know, because people
Speaker 2: are asking me how how am I gonna watch the games?
Speaker 2: Is that we got a good ESPN Plus subscription? How
Speaker 2: much does that cost? Let's ten bucks a month? I'm
Speaker 2: not paying that said, well, then you're not gonna watch
Speaker 2: games on TV. You're gonna you're gonna miss the you're
Speaker 2: gonna miss the non marquee games.
Speaker 3: Right, and maybe Arizona b YU people consider a crap
Speaker 3: game that goes on ESPN Plus and it's not on
Speaker 3: one of the ESPN networks. You know, that's how you're
Speaker 3: gonna That's how you're gonna watch Arizona NAU. Probably how
Speaker 3: you're gonna watch Arizona, New Mexico, Arizona, Kansas State is
Speaker 3: gonna it's a Friday night that's gonna be on ESPN.
Speaker 3: That's a feature game on Friday Night. So you're you're
Speaker 3: only gonna get some of the games. But you know, uh,
Speaker 3: get ready for streaming. Man, you're not gonna be able
Speaker 3: to channel surf like we always always did.
Speaker 2: A bunch of a bunch of people over fifty are saying, crap,
Speaker 2: I don't know how to do that, right O, Hey,
Speaker 2: get my grit, get my grandson to come in here
Speaker 2: and fix this for me exactly. But I think I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 3: It'd be interesting to know, you know, how many people
Speaker 3: are listening to the radio broadcast. Well there's also two
Speaker 3: you know people you can listen to it on that
Speaker 3: Varsity app so people from all over the country can
Speaker 3: listen to it. Well, so that you know, you pick
Speaker 3: up a bunch of listeners there because in their area,
Speaker 3: maybe they can't pick up the game on TV, so
Speaker 3: they're going to listen to it on the radio. And
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, if I'm if I'm that person,
Speaker 3: I'm watching a game and I've got my headphones on
Speaker 3: in one ear.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm watching a game. I've got my headphones
Speaker 2: on in one ear to listen if I can't. You know,
Speaker 2: So how many people are like you that you see.
Speaker 2: There's got to be a few. I know a lot
Speaker 2: of people. I feel like I see a lot of
Speaker 2: people with headphones at the games. I really do. But
Speaker 2: it's not like that. Is that? But is that like
Speaker 2: people who don't want to listen to the crazy music
Speaker 2: that goes on?
Speaker 3: No, no, no, because you can't you can't fly, you
Speaker 3: can't drown that out with putting on your radio. I
Speaker 3: just want to hear what what Brian and uh and
Speaker 3: Laman love it or talking about? You know, uh, you know,
Speaker 3: if somebody gets taken off the field, I want to
Speaker 3: know what their injury status is, you know. I get information,
Speaker 3: you know, as to what's going on. It's not because
Speaker 3: I want them to tell me what happened on a play.
Speaker 3: I hear the stuff in between, right, Honestly, don't think
Speaker 3: I hear their call of a play rhythm because I'm
Speaker 3: watching it. But then somehow might mind I hear It's
Speaker 3: very slight if you're listening to it, yeah, because like
Speaker 3: if you're listening to it on your phone, there's a
Speaker 3: big delay, so you can't listen.
Speaker 2: You can't be in the stadium watching the game and
Speaker 2: listen to it. On your on your phone.
Speaker 3: I have a I have a little tiny radio I
Speaker 3: clip to my belt and I listened to it on
Speaker 3: one O seven five and that or even I think
Speaker 3: I listened to twelve ninety because it sounds better for
Speaker 3: some reason. It's not by it not being in stereo.
Speaker 3: I can hear it better in the state. And there's
Speaker 3: the I mean, we're talking a fraction of a second delay.
Speaker 3: You know, if you hear the whistle, hear one whistle,
Speaker 3: you hear the other one right away.
Speaker 2: And that's the best way to do it. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: the best way to do it. And that's how I
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 3: And like I said, I just pick up the stuff
Speaker 3: that they're talking about between plays, you know, you know,
Speaker 3: just to hear what you know, what their thoughts are.
Speaker 2: I like that. That's fun. Anybody else want to get
Speaker 2: into this conversation, please do, because I'm being bored with jays. No,
Speaker 2: not really, I'm trying to help out. Yeah you are
Speaker 2: you are you? Well, that's interesting because I would never
Speaker 2: do that. But we saw we have the TV, right,
Speaker 2: we have the TV monitors, and those were like seven
Speaker 2: to ten seconds delay. There was a big delay. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because by the time this is ready to go. The
Speaker 2: play is already going to start to set.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's right, you're right, because that when I've done stats,
Speaker 3: like for the Arizona Bowl, that's how we figure out,
Speaker 3: you know, the tackles and and all that.
Speaker 2: Kind of stuff from the monitor. Yeah, from the monitor
Speaker 2: or if you or if you miss something, you can
Speaker 2: look up real quick on the monitor. Yeah. No, there
Speaker 2: is there is a delay there. Yeah, it's a big one.
Speaker 2: You're right, But today you know, you neither here nor there. Okay.
Speaker 2: I'm curious though to see how many people have bought
Speaker 2: on or cut on or whatever joined in on the
Speaker 2: She said that was a big big but a month ago, a.
Speaker 3: Month ago, she said they had a twenty percent increase
Speaker 3: in new new season tickets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'd be curious to know what the season
Speaker 2: ticket number is. But it was so did you listen
Speaker 2: Did you listen to uh lamont and on myself? Last week?
Speaker 2: Probably not, which I know, I don't know. I mean, oh,
Speaker 2: it was a good show. Speak enough. I got to
Speaker 2: post the podcast. Never I was going never did do that?
Speaker 2: Did you do Thursday with I did Thursday Smith? Yes?
Speaker 2: I got to give that to her. Yeah, I did there.
Speaker 2: So he was talking about and I totally agree with him,
Speaker 2: and then you might too, the audience. And it's been
Speaker 2: like this for a long time. So the everason that
Speaker 2: doesn't or tries to do it, go ahead, go take
Speaker 2: this call. Hi, you're on the air and I on
Speaker 2: the ball. Maybe hello, maybe he hung up or she
Speaker 2: hung up. Calls back real quick. So he talked about
Speaker 2: there who does a pretty good job, or you know,
Speaker 2: the people that go to games, go to games, but
Speaker 2: he needs to find or like to see more of
Speaker 2: an audience the south side, the people who Okay, here
Speaker 2: we go. Hi, you're on the air and nine the ball. James, Hey, James,
Speaker 2: how are you. It's been a while.
Speaker 11: I forget how you guys do it.
Speaker 2: We're good, good, getting ready for football season. Can't wait?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I can't wait. I got my season tickets and
Speaker 11: it's good to see that Washington's on rings.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you're one of those guys I forgot. Are
Speaker 2: you still mad at him or what.
Speaker 11: It is?
Speaker 2: What it is?
Speaker 11: We're moving on. We're in the Pig twelve now and
Speaker 11: ready to win some big twelve championship.
Speaker 2: Do you have much of a thing for him than
Speaker 2: you did for Sean.
Speaker 11: The Seawn things a bit deeper because the U of
Speaker 11: a program it was like a for and he made
Speaker 11: it into a total vehicle once he was sell with
Speaker 11: the program. You know, when Fish came in, he took
Speaker 11: over a crap program and you know, elevated and then
Speaker 11: he just left us high and dry. So a little
Speaker 11: bit different feel for both of them.
Speaker 1: But just like both.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So James, do you like the over
Speaker 2: on the seven and a half wins? I'm assuming you do.
Speaker 1: I love it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, how many?
Speaker 11: I think? Nine?
Speaker 2: Nine? Okay, all right, James, we were just talking about
Speaker 2: listening to the games. You go to the games? Do
Speaker 2: you happen to listen to it on the radio and
Speaker 2: how do you watch games on.
Speaker 11: The road or or I listened to it on the
Speaker 11: radio end I'm driving around and stuff. But if I
Speaker 11: can't make it to the games, I kind of unfortunately
Speaker 11: I did the Lebron James thing. I don't know if
Speaker 11: anyone's ever heard of stream East. You can google it,
Speaker 11: but that's another way to get it if you don't
Speaker 11: have all these streaming you know, memberships.
Speaker 2: Ah, okay, it's free, it's free.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, it's free, but you know, might not be
Speaker 11: one hundred percent above board.
Speaker 2: I got you, got it, got it all right? So
Speaker 2: where do you said? I'd love to hear where you said.
Speaker 11: Uh, you know, I like you to be honest. I
Speaker 11: get the cheapest ticket because typically at the U of
Speaker 11: a games you can move around pretty easily. So I
Speaker 11: have the east side the upper but you know, anytime
Speaker 11: I need to get to a better location, I usually do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can, all right, that's it. That's a way
Speaker 2: to do it.
Speaker 3: You know we've all done that, right, you know, go
Speaker 3: or go sit somewhere up in the first quarter and
Speaker 3: by the by the second half, you're in the fifty
Speaker 3: yard line.
Speaker 2: You're a student. What do you tell so you you
Speaker 2: you're a big fan of all the sports? Uh?
Speaker 10: Are you?
Speaker 2: You couldn't be more pleased than what you're gonna have
Speaker 2: to see this year basketball wise, football wise. You must
Speaker 2: be pretty stoked.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's gonna be a great season, I think for
Speaker 11: the football team, the women's basketball team. It's going to
Speaker 11: be fun to have Duke in town this year for
Speaker 11: men's basketball. So it's gonna be good times.
Speaker 2: Okay, James, Hey, thanks for calling. Appreciate you. James, thank you.
Speaker 11: Yeah, take right out.
Speaker 2: So going back to the thing with the with the month,
Speaker 2: it's more that they need to chase the audience that
Speaker 2: they don't get, that they don't have, right, but they
Speaker 2: don't get and how we know the tickets are start
Speaker 2: part of it's gonna be takets so and he recalled
Speaker 2: it notthole gang, and you know that it's a long
Speaker 2: time ago. You were part of. It was I was
Speaker 2: in the not hole and it's been twenty years or
Speaker 2: so since that's been maybe even longer than.
Speaker 3: In fact, I did what James did. I'd go pay
Speaker 3: you know for not whole was five dollars for the season,
Speaker 3: okay for the season? Right, you were were elementary school
Speaker 3: in high school, I mean thinking into high school and
Speaker 3: would go get in the notthle section and they always
Speaker 3: had what do you call them, just monitors right to
Speaker 3: keep the not hoole kids in the not hole and
Speaker 3: then we're all trying to figure out a way to
Speaker 3: sneak out, and then we'd go sit in the regular
Speaker 3: seats somewhere cool.
Speaker 2: So get away from your kid, you're bothering, you know.
Speaker 2: I'm actually remember going one of the games. It was
Speaker 2: it was cold.
Speaker 3: But I remember we're going up and going to the
Speaker 3: It was the west side under the press box, and
Speaker 3: I was sitting behind some lady in a fur coat,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, we're man, we're in the rich people
Speaker 3: section now. And it was me and it was me
Speaker 3: and two other guys. We were just like, we're like
Speaker 3: fourteen years old and we're like sitting on the fifty
Speaker 3: yard line underneath the bread underneath the press box.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was pretty cool. So like the rich people
Speaker 2: just were were a fur coat to the game.
Speaker 3: That was back in the day, man, when people would
Speaker 3: get like dressed up and go to games and not
Speaker 3: so much like suits like you're see in some of
Speaker 3: those nineteen, yeah, forties and fifties things. Yeah, but you know,
Speaker 3: but people would get you know, dressed, that'd have nice
Speaker 3: clothes on and nice coats. And this lad was literally
Speaker 3: in a fur coat. I won't tell you what happened
Speaker 3: after that, but uh, you know, we didn't vandalize her,
Speaker 3: but there was an issue with the fat.
Speaker 2: Okay, well you've been the lazers two kids. She didn't go.
Speaker 2: She didn't let me just say, didn't let me just
Speaker 2: say it was cold, and one of the guys sneezed
Speaker 2: on her. Oh if you can imagine joy. Yes, I'll
Speaker 2: leave that alone. Hey, let's go get out of here
Speaker 2: for the second segment. I maybe we'll get another caller

Speaker 2: Hey, welcome back to I About here Fox Sports fourteen fifty.
Speaker 2: I'm Steve, You've Jay give Henry get to in a minutes,
Speaker 2: hoping that anybody wants to call, please do five two
Speaker 2: oh four, one seventy four forty. So you want to
Speaker 2: talk about that, not Hill game? No, no, no, but
Speaker 2: I agree. I mean you got to go to places.
Speaker 2: The thing about it is prices. Have you talked about prices?
Speaker 2: I'm well aware. How do you find a new audience
Speaker 2: and you're talking maybe three thousand, four thousand people, not
Speaker 2: a whole lot who can go in, maybe spend a
Speaker 2: little money on a hot dog or soda or whatever,
Speaker 2: because then you get some of that there for good entertainment.
Speaker 2: Relatively inexpensive, right, I mean, that's the that's the big questions.
Speaker 2: Not relatively inexpensive. No, no, I know, And that's the
Speaker 2: whole thing. And that's how do you make it inexpensive? Uh,
Speaker 2: you make it inexpensive. Buy, you get your ticket, You
Speaker 2: get one of those clear bags. You take your own
Speaker 2: water into the game, especially these you know September October games.
Speaker 2: You know, you go, you go to Costco or wherever
Speaker 2: and get yourself a case of water and you take those.
Speaker 2: You go hang out at somebody's tailgate who will let
Speaker 2: you eat their food. Then you go to the game.
Speaker 2: That's how you do it. Cheap. I mean we do that.
Speaker 3: I mean we'll do we'll, you know, we'll we will
Speaker 3: take our own waters into the game because it's just
Speaker 3: it is pricey. Yes, you can take unopened bottles of water,
Speaker 3: you know, sealed bottles of water into the game with you,
Speaker 3: as many as you want. And so we do that,
Speaker 3: you know, because we always have waters, you know, in
Speaker 3: our ice shest at our tailgates. So especially these you know,
Speaker 3: these hot games, we'll take six or eight waters in
Speaker 3: with us. Somebody's got to carry those.
Speaker 2: But you know, you know, you have those clear bags
Speaker 2: that you're allowed to take into the stadium, and you uh,
Speaker 2: you know, you take those in and then for me,
Speaker 2: I me, you know, I'll just spend at halftime, I'll
Speaker 2: go get you know, nachos in a soda, and that's
Speaker 2: what we spend at the snack part of there, because
Speaker 2: it is pricey, you know, you know, maybe some dippin'
Speaker 2: dots or something like that. It's tough. I mean, it's tough.
Speaker 2: It's not it's not cheap steep. I mean those larger
Speaker 2: beers that you get, you know, you know, what did
Speaker 2: you get the Diamondbacks like seventeen.
Speaker 3: Eighteen I've never had a I've never had a beer
Speaker 3: or you know, a seltzer. You know what, I've never
Speaker 3: had an alcoholic drink since they've been serving alcohol at
Speaker 3: the stadium because it's.
Speaker 2: Just first of ones. That's not what I drink. You know.
Speaker 3: Look, if one of those giant beers, I can't drink
Speaker 3: one of those, right, And so by the time I
Speaker 3: get to get to and it's going to be hot anyway,
Speaker 3: So you know, I drink my beers and stuff, you know,
Speaker 3: before the game, and I go in and have a
Speaker 3: great time at the game, and then I'm sober to
Speaker 3: go home. I actually don't drink that much. I bet
Speaker 3: it's really sad Steve our group. I'll get a twelve
Speaker 3: pack of beer at the beginning of the year and
Speaker 3: we'll finish it at the last.
Speaker 2: Game of the season.
Speaker 3: Oh really, yeah, other people bring beers, rights, My twelve
Speaker 3: pack will last the entire season.
Speaker 2: No, that's good. That's good. You know, that's the good place.
Speaker 2: You don't have to go and say hi, my name
Speaker 2: is Jay. I have a problem because you have other
Speaker 2: meetings to go to, right, and I have other I
Speaker 2: have other I have other grudges and bad habits. Your
Speaker 2: time will be spread thin if you did that. So, yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't want to be scottis Cheffer. Right.
Speaker 3: Did you see, Okay, Scotty Cheffer wins gold? How many
Speaker 3: times somebody posted his jail picture and this is your
Speaker 3: Olympic gold medal winner and men's.
Speaker 2: People are stupid? Come on, people are stupid people people
Speaker 2: do that get their just desserts somehow. You hope, right,
Speaker 2: you hope, you hope it goes around, comes around on
Speaker 2: some of that. He but I mean, you know, did
Speaker 2: you say did you see? You know he was he
Speaker 2: cried at the nation. That was so cool. When I
Speaker 2: saw that, I'm thinking, I'm thinking, yeah, cool, And I'm
Speaker 2: thinking that's the significance of that type of deal. You're
Speaker 2: playing for your country and your you're playing for your country.
Speaker 2: You know it's not a three million dollar prize, right,
Speaker 2: But but you know this doesn't happen. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 2: we're you know, that gold medal is going to be
Speaker 2: right next to his green jackets, right, and and that's
Speaker 2: important to him. I think that's cool as hell. Who
Speaker 2: was the last time you credit an event create that
Speaker 2: event like a sporting event?
Speaker 3: Yeah, at a sporting event, I can't remember now as
Speaker 3: a result of what was going on, like on the
Speaker 3: field or like like.
Speaker 2: A ceremony or something or whatever. Whatever. Ooh, I'm going
Speaker 2: to say, I'm going to say I shed, I got
Speaker 2: I'm going to say I got tears in my eyes.
Speaker 3: Tears in my eyes. So I don't I didn't drop
Speaker 3: one but tears in my eyes. At the twenty fourteen
Speaker 3: you have asu football game when they won the champions Yeah.
Speaker 3: Remember it was a great ending, great great play. Uh
Speaker 3: you know they stopped to drive at the end of
Speaker 3: the game. I won the game, and it was cool
Speaker 3: because two things were going on that day. One that
Speaker 3: they won it, but we were leaving straight from there
Speaker 3: to go to Vegas on a trip, and I knew
Speaker 3: that winning that game was going to make our trip
Speaker 3: one hundred times better than it was going to be already,
Speaker 3: you know. So so that kind of I guess I
Speaker 3: would say that that would be the last time that
Speaker 3: I can think of that I did that.
Speaker 2: Henry, I don't think I ever. I don't think I
Speaker 2: can't remember when I have. Yeah, I'm kind of sentimental
Speaker 2: guy too. I just don't know. You're you're a grumpy
Speaker 2: don't give a crap about anybody. That's not true, that's
Speaker 2: not true. That is that was me, that was my
Speaker 2: image here. I can't remember though, maybe maybe maybe a
Speaker 2: great performance. I don't remember when though. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know I could.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all I can think of it. I'm sure
Speaker 3: I did that day, but I can't think of any
Speaker 3: other time. So yeah, I guess I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Once it's hard, it's hard to remember those type
Speaker 2: of stuff. It's just a moment that moves you, you
Speaker 2: know how I've been watching Did you watch a hundred
Speaker 2: one hundred meters lest? I did? That was so cool?
Speaker 3: And then and then it's funny because I mean, I
Speaker 3: think I was hearing the announcer, but it really didn't
Speaker 3: pay attention that he called the Jamaican guy did. And
Speaker 3: when he when my daughter and I were watching, when
Speaker 3: he finished, I.
Speaker 2: Said, it's we is in the United States. We want it,
Speaker 2: we hit it. I thought he won. I thought, yeah, no,
Speaker 2: Lyles won. Yeah I didn't. I didn't think anything. And
Speaker 2: it looked it looked like it was very definitive about
Speaker 2: it too. Yeah, and then you know, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: wait a minute, this guy at the after you know,
Speaker 2: the race had ended and they had an announcement and
Speaker 2: the guy's talking about how this guy from Jamaica one
Speaker 2: he said, I don't think he won, and then obviously
Speaker 2: what happened is well and then again you see people
Speaker 2: who post stuff and showed the showed, uh the the
Speaker 2: wire finish, and people saying, well, the other guy want
Speaker 2: or you know, people who complain the other guy want. Wow.
Speaker 2: People have a lot of time on their hands. They
Speaker 2: have the technology. What the well see I have the
Speaker 2: photoays No, that's incorrect. People have more time on their
Speaker 2: hands than anything, way too much. Well, not not just
Speaker 2: the time on their hands, but the the platform to

Speaker 2: Olympics as I could, you know, you know, my moving
Speaker 2: my daughter and stuff. Some of the swimming, you know,
Speaker 2: I saw it.
Speaker 3: You know, the US men swimming was on the verge
Speaker 3: of not winning a medal for the first time, a
Speaker 3: gold medal for the first time in one hundred and
Speaker 3: twenty years. Then the sky comes and sets the world
Speaker 3: record of the fifteen hundred and wins it. So they

Speaker 3: I couldn't pull the trigger on it, Steve. But I
Speaker 3: wanted to take Puerto Rico and the thirty five against
Speaker 3: the us Men just because I thought, just because I
Speaker 3: thought there's no reason to beat them by thirty five,
Speaker 3: that Kerr would like try to get everybody playing and
Speaker 3: stuff like that. And I would have hit that if
Speaker 3: if I was a trigger on it. I think they
Speaker 3: won by twenty something.
Speaker 2: But they didn't.
Speaker 3: They didn't win by thirty. I know that they you know,
Speaker 3: Puerto Rico easily covered that, and I should have hit
Speaker 3: at that. I watched a little bit of a Chase Buddinger.
Speaker 2: You know the guy. Did he get limited, they got eliminated.
Speaker 2: Did he get to the he got to the knockout round?
Speaker 2: Oh okay, because he had something had to happen for

Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't want to, but you know, just to
Speaker 3: pay attention to all that stuff, you know, it's kind
Speaker 3: of cool. I think I've watched more of the Olympics
Speaker 3: for some reason this year than I have really in
Speaker 3: the past. I watched all of the golf, right, I
Speaker 3: mean I got up at you know, I was up
Speaker 3: at six o'clock in the morning and turned them immediately
Speaker 3: turned on the golf on Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 2: I saw something that was interesting. So you watched a
Speaker 2: hundred meter and the guy finished last did you see this?
Speaker 3: Oh, I saw that stat he would have won, he
Speaker 3: would have beaten one at the year Carl Lewis won, right,
Speaker 3: was that what you're looking at?
Speaker 2: Right? I saw that times have changed? Right? That was
Speaker 2: also the year that what's his name, Ben Johnson was
Speaker 2: so Ben Johnson won it.

Speaker 2: so graduate from college in eighty one? Wow, okay, okay,
Speaker 2: forty three years ago? Four scoring well, okay, I was
Speaker 2: watching watching a thing last time at the CNN. It
Speaker 2: was really cool. It was a four part series on
Speaker 2: the year nineteen sixty eight. Oh, I was watching that
Speaker 2: a site, did you? I flipped back and forth? So
Speaker 2: I loved it. It was awesome. I watched what did
Speaker 2: you How many parts were there too? There was four
Speaker 2: and I watched. I watched from the early in the
Speaker 2: second to the end of the second. Then I watched
Speaker 2: a bunch of the third. Okay, that was the third,
Speaker 2: and then there was a fourth right right there was.
Speaker 2: I watched the third and the fourth. What did you get?
Speaker 2: Where were we gonna go? Just fascinating to me the
Speaker 2: time that it was well, okay, time that it was
Speaker 2: what And I was with somebody and I said, just
Speaker 2: goes to show you the same things that they were
Speaker 2: dealing with back then then we're doing right now. Race issues.
Speaker 2: George Wallace kind of kind of right, his thoughts the
Speaker 2: whole all the race, racial stuff going out, the stuff
Speaker 2: with you know, uh, African Americans feeling like not feeling
Speaker 2: knowing they you know that they were, yeah, they were
Speaker 2: getting the Olympics in sixty eight. Olympics in sixty eight,
Speaker 2: the assassinations, right, you know, I mean, we're here. I
Speaker 2: mean the more things changed, the more they remained the same.
Speaker 3: So you know, one of the things I was said
Speaker 3: to me when when when the assassination attempt happened on
Speaker 3: President Trump by former President Trump, Summer said to me,
Speaker 3: we just we don't. We don't try to win elections
Speaker 3: by killing the opposition. They said, yes we do.
Speaker 2: Nineteen sixty eight, you know, Bobby Kennedy was going to
Speaker 2: be the President of the United States and they shot
Speaker 2: him to death and and and changed his So, yes,
Speaker 2: we do do that. Yeah. No, I was very intrigued
Speaker 2: by all that. And then you had something that how
Speaker 2: much of that do you remember as a kid? I
Speaker 2: don't because it was only four. But the thing is
Speaker 2: you were the thing that you have, something that could
Speaker 2: bring the country together, and that was the trip of
Speaker 2: the Moon. The Moon, the Moon. And well it doesn't
Speaker 2: I mean it didn't. It did for a while. It
Speaker 2: did for a week. Yeah, it ended the year nicely.
Speaker 2: It's just so it's just the way things are back then.
Speaker 2: Nothing's really It was a fast and fascinating I would
Speaker 2: rewatch it just from the beginning, because you didn't watch
Speaker 2: from the beginning. No, they didn't. I would watch it again.
Speaker 2: I turned it on in the middle. It was it
Speaker 2: was when the when I turned it on.
Speaker 3: Uh, it was leading up to the Martin Luther King
Speaker 3: assassination and then the start of the Remember the Remember
Speaker 3: the presidential campaigns would start the year of the election,
Speaker 3: not two years ahead of time or you know, or
Speaker 3: as soon as the other elect the previous election happened.
Speaker 3: So it was starting, you know, the whole thing with
Speaker 3: you know, who was going to be the president and
Speaker 3: Nixon and all that stuff, and then the Bobby Kennedy
Speaker 3: joining the race and all that stuff. It's fascinating to
Speaker 3: me to watch all that. I do remember that because
Speaker 3: I was, you know, eight going on nine years old
Speaker 3: when that happened. You know, my brother had just started college.
Speaker 3: So when he went into all the college protests and stuff,
Speaker 3: he was he was a part of all that stuff
Speaker 3: protesting the Vietnam War. You know, his his and my
Speaker 3: my two my two oldest brothers, their names were in
Speaker 3: the draft. You know, they were in the draft. And
Speaker 3: Rick would not his name his birthday came up late.
Speaker 3: He would not have been drafted, but my brother Ed
Speaker 3: would have been. But instead he joined he joined the
Speaker 3: Air Force on his own, you know, so he was there.
Speaker 3: He was in the Air Force for uh I think, well,
Speaker 3: he was in the Air Force for two and then
Speaker 3: he was in the Air National Guard for two or
Speaker 3: something like. However, whatever it was, I don't remember.
Speaker 2: I just know that he was in you know, he
Speaker 2: went to San Antonio for a while, then he went
Speaker 2: to Denver for a while, and then he was in
Speaker 2: the Air now Guard here. So you know, those guys,
Speaker 2: you know, dealt with that. And I remember my mom
Speaker 2: in tears when you know, the draft came up and
Speaker 2: you know her, you know her, her boys were gonna
Speaker 2: you know, they could wind up in Vietnam. More stuff
Speaker 2: and the riots, you know, in the big cities, all
Speaker 2: that stuff. It's just the more things to say the same.
Speaker 2: There were things they were blah blah blah. Just you know,
Speaker 2: the same issues. Yes, economy, same issues done differently, right,
Speaker 2: I mean we haven't had you know. One thing that
Speaker 2: you kind of see too is how old they were.
Speaker 2: How old they were right then, their wives, how old
Speaker 2: they just they look like they're old people now they're
Speaker 2: just old, but they don't they don't have old wife.
Speaker 2: I know that I was thinking that they don't have
Speaker 2: old wives, they have young ones.
Speaker 3: But you know, I just thought all of that, it
Speaker 3: was just amazing. And my parents, you know, they were
Speaker 3: they were very politically savvy. Let me saying, you know,
Speaker 3: they was important to them.
Speaker 2: Moments going on. I just remember my dad arguing with
Speaker 2: his his father in law, my grandfather, because one was Republican,
Speaker 2: wasn't Democrats? No, And because it was the Chinese was
Speaker 2: the China was nixing.
Speaker 3: News all that time must have been good. All right,
Speaker 3: top of the hour, We're gonna take our break. We're
Speaker 3: gonna come back and see what's left of breaking news
