<v Speaker 5>So back then that was probably like five years. I

128
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.439
<v Speaker 5>want to say one to eight when seventy he's not playing, right,

129
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.560
<v Speaker 5>He's not physically not playing. I don't think he's playing

132
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:22.079
<v Speaker 3>He signed a five year, one seventy seven million with

133
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:25.959
<v Speaker 3>the Sixers. Six Ers, so yeah, that was like five

134
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:33.000
<v Speaker 3>years ago. Dude, that's like the Mike Woodson says, what, Yeah,

135
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:35.120
<v Speaker 3>that's it for today's breaking news.

136
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:38.000
<v Speaker 4>Okay, it's nothing from the Uba anything. You know that

137
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:40.720
<v Speaker 4>well soft all tonight? You know yet in the season

138
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.399
<v Speaker 4>kicked off big season Fyers on the softball? What way

139
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:44.519
<v Speaker 4>I think that.

140
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:46.319
<v Speaker 5>I don't want to say it's a make or break yere,

141
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.120
<v Speaker 5>but you have to not only make the tournament, you

142
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:53.360
<v Speaker 5>better be competing for Oklahoma Oklahoma, getting to Oklahoma or

143
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:56.079
<v Speaker 5>your last year of year contract coming up.

144
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:57.279
<v Speaker 4>That's an issue. I think.

145
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:03.000
<v Speaker 2>I think with desireet your new A d new I,

146
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:05.240
<v Speaker 2>you have to impress new eyes. You have to impress

147
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.800
<v Speaker 2>uh not that everybody on that staff needs to worry,

148
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:10.519
<v Speaker 2>but they have to worry.

149
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:12.759
<v Speaker 5>Well they head the coaches in there, then you're probably

150
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.399
<v Speaker 5>not going to be there the next season. So right,

151
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:17.759
<v Speaker 5>what do you mean, Well, if Kaylin Lowe isn't back

152
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:20.759
<v Speaker 5>next year, yeah, then the other coaches on the staff

153
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:21.079
<v Speaker 5>are back.

154
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, no, no, but the coaches, like you know,

155
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.839
<v Speaker 2>Tommy doesn't have to worry about it. The head coaches,

156
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, Brennan probably has to win or else. Uh, Kaitlyn,

157
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:34.879
<v Speaker 2>I guess this year maybe, uh, because because Desi chip. Yeah,

158
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:37.720
<v Speaker 2>but he's done well. But where are they gone?

159
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:41.800
<v Speaker 4>He's done well, That's all I can say. Where have

160
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:44.199
<v Speaker 4>they gone? I don't know they went. Didn't they go

161
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.079
<v Speaker 4>to tournament to the Omaha? No?

162
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.720
<v Speaker 5>No, no, no, that was for Johnson's last team. Uh

163
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:51.959
<v Speaker 5>and that was only like two days ago, three four

164
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:55.199
<v Speaker 5>years ago. Okay, maybe I don't I don't know. I mean,

165
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.079
<v Speaker 5>how do you measure success then?

166
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:01.839
<v Speaker 4>Competing for champion. Well, they won a championship last year.

167
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:06.240
<v Speaker 4>Baseball pick day, Yeah, I was surprised.

168
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:09.959
<v Speaker 2>Everybody did really well until he didn't.

169
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:10.879
<v Speaker 4>Let's let's try.

170
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:12.720
<v Speaker 2>Let me say this, because you're you're not a U

171
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:15.519
<v Speaker 2>agres airs only is what it is, right, It's not

172
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:16.399
<v Speaker 2>what they think they are.

173
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:19.279
<v Speaker 4>You know that, you know that I got what you're saying.

174
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:22.000
<v Speaker 2>So, okay, you know if I'm not Brad Pitt, but

175
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.040
<v Speaker 2>I think they can pick up women like Brad Pitt can's.

176
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:25.079
<v Speaker 4>I'm fully myself.

177
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:27.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm fully of myself and I'll use these analogies all

178
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:29.600
<v Speaker 2>the time. But come on, I am what I am.

179
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:31.839
<v Speaker 5>So I agree with football and that you are what

180
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:34.279
<v Speaker 5>you are. And hey, if you if you're averaging eight

181
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.200
<v Speaker 5>nine wins the season, nine wins would be incredible in football,

182
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.240
<v Speaker 5>that would be tremendous. That would be tremendously that coach

183
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:44.240
<v Speaker 5>should get a statue. But there was a softball again.

184
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:47.360
<v Speaker 5>We talked about this with Mike Andrea feeding the Beast.

185
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:50.120
<v Speaker 5>Mike Andrea, damn it.

186
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:51.720
<v Speaker 4>It was a baseball five Nationals.

187
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:55.759
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so this is not that teams, this is not

188
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:58.279
<v Speaker 2>that program anymore. It's not no matter who shows up,

189
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:01.600
<v Speaker 2>not that they can't find that person to show up

190
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.080
<v Speaker 2>and do it. But that's a long time ago. I

191
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.759
<v Speaker 2>used to be thin. I used to be I used

192
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:10.279
<v Speaker 2>to be a lot of dinner. I don't think I

193
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:13.840
<v Speaker 2>can get there again to you. Don't you understand what

194
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying. Yeah, I used to be okay, back to then,

195
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:19.960
<v Speaker 2>but I'm not anymore. It's not likely I'm going to

196
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:21.960
<v Speaker 2>go back to that. It's hard to It's hard, and

197
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:24.639
<v Speaker 2>that was the glory days of softball. If you're going

198
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.039
<v Speaker 2>to compete, are you going to compete or compare with

199
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:29.960
<v Speaker 2>that situation? I don't know anybody's worthy. I don't think

200
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Kendrea wasn't worthy. Yeah, I mean he wasn't capable.

201
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:36.399
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Well, I mean he got them back on track, though.

202
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:38.639
<v Speaker 2>He got he got them back to being respectable again

203
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:40.320
<v Speaker 2>because he got him back to the tournament. Yeah, but

204
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:44.519
<v Speaker 2>they were not Arizona of nineteen ninety one or sure.

205
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:46.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean you didn't know what I'm saying. I mean,

206
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:49.399
<v Speaker 2>I think you have to know who you are, and

207
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure Arizona knows who they are.

208
00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:53.440
<v Speaker 5>And I'm talking about the powers that be, even the

209
00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:56.919
<v Speaker 5>people who support them. We we okay, tell me. It's

210
00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:58.759
<v Speaker 5>like Arizona and we talk about this fight. I don't

211
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.320
<v Speaker 5>want to fight. They fight with enough. By the way,

212
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:06.360
<v Speaker 5>we'll be at the casino Friday tomorrow. I people say

213
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:07.879
<v Speaker 5>this is a blue blood. It's not a blue blood

214
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:10.840
<v Speaker 5>for basketball. No it's not. I mean, come on, you

215
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:13.120
<v Speaker 5>won some games. It's a good program. It's the top

216
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:13.720
<v Speaker 5>fifteen top.

217
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:17.759
<v Speaker 2>Is softball blue blood? Yes, of course, right it is.

218
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:19.159
<v Speaker 2>It hasn't been.

219
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:23.320
<v Speaker 5>Now now if you have a fifteen year old now, no, no,

220
00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:26.240
<v Speaker 5>because they wouldn't know what the hell happened yesterday? What

221
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:29.440
<v Speaker 5>about baseball? Is baseball blue blood? I would say, yeah, okay,

222
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:33.039
<v Speaker 5>I don't know. It's probably a fringe. It's probably a fringe.

223
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.759
<v Speaker 5>It's there, and you could only talk to people over

224
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:39.320
<v Speaker 5>thirty five forty who can tell you that they are right?

225
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:44.279
<v Speaker 2>Anybody your age, We say, no, Arizona really twenty twelve,

226
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:48.440
<v Speaker 2>twenty thirteen, whatever it do. That was thirteen years ago. Yeah,

227
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:50.559
<v Speaker 2>who remembers five years ago.

228
00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:54.000
<v Speaker 5>I'm just trying to no, no, no, that's I'm being critical,

229
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.679
<v Speaker 5>but I'm being realistic to But you also have to

230
00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:58.360
<v Speaker 5>look at what Jay Johnson did here in terms of

231
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.840
<v Speaker 5>getting to Oklahoma. Yeah, well, sorry, getting to Omaha and

232
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:03.919
<v Speaker 5>at least competing to be at that level.

233
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.559
<v Speaker 2>He wasn't here a long time. He wasn't here a whole.

234
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:09.559
<v Speaker 2>He got it in the in that window that he

235
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:12.039
<v Speaker 2>was here. But it's and that's kind of have to

236
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:15.480
<v Speaker 2>sustain that. The recruiting you got to you gotta get

237
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:18.399
<v Speaker 2>better at recruiting. Yeah, but then now you're then there's

238
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.159
<v Speaker 2>an I I get it. Yeah, there's more than's everything right,

239
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:25.320
<v Speaker 2>and and there's well we know this with baseball. There's

240
00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:27.600
<v Speaker 2>players that are, hey, I'm going to go to the draft.

241
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh never mind, I'm not going to the universe. You

242
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:31.000
<v Speaker 2>still have to recruit those players.

243
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:32.440
<v Speaker 4>I hear you.

244
00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:36.279
<v Speaker 2>I understand that. And everybody goes through that. Uh, I

245
00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:39.840
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I don't I know as much as they

246
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:42.360
<v Speaker 2>are who they are, and they'll I've been here thirty

247
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:45.360
<v Speaker 2>seven years and nothing's really changed except that the attitude

248
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.279
<v Speaker 2>of the U of A is we're good and don't

249
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:49.039
<v Speaker 2>mess with us.

250
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:53.960
<v Speaker 5>You know you grew up watching it. Yeah, especially for basketball,

251
00:11:54.000 --> 00:12:00.279
<v Speaker 5>the fan base a blue blood mentality. But you have

252
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:00.879
<v Speaker 5>the Final Fours.

253
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, certainly you have a blue bit of me talenty.

254
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:06.399
<v Speaker 2>You have a doorman at the front. Uh, sorry, you're

255
00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:10.120
<v Speaker 2>not on the list. Sorry, I don't care if became dressed, well,

256
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:12.000
<v Speaker 2>you're still not on the list. You're not going to

257
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:17.480
<v Speaker 2>get in that to make a final four since twenty twelve.

258
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:18.799
<v Speaker 4>Final four.

259
00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:22.240
<v Speaker 5>I'm saying, at least make a final four twenty twelve

260
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:24.559
<v Speaker 5>and maybe you'll get into My point is you haven't

261
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:25.799
<v Speaker 5>done anything since.

262
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:27.039
<v Speaker 4>Two thousand and one.

263
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Hold are you thirty thirty thirty thirty five? I was six?

264
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:36.840
<v Speaker 2>You were six since that last time. A lot of

265
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:39.960
<v Speaker 2>things have changed since you were six. Your shoe size,

266
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:43.200
<v Speaker 2>your pants size, and your shirt size. Are you gonna

267
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:45.399
<v Speaker 2>go back to that weight when I was six?

268
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:47.440
<v Speaker 4>No? No, I hope not. My point, we have a

269
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:48.159
<v Speaker 4>lot of issues.

270
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:48.519
<v Speaker 7>Fight.

271
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:51.879
<v Speaker 4>I'll be calling in from the hospital if I go

272
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:52.759
<v Speaker 4>back to the size that.

273
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:54.519
<v Speaker 2>I was when I was saying, and I'm ranking, but

274
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:57.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm not because because everyzone is a fantastic place.

275
00:12:57.879 --> 00:12:58.519
<v Speaker 4>I love this place.

276
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:00.919
<v Speaker 2>They've done a lot for they haven't done purposely a

277
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:04.519
<v Speaker 2>lot for me, But their success means my success. But

278
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:08.679
<v Speaker 2>you know the best. On a good day, I was seven.

279
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:10.279
<v Speaker 2>On a bad day, I'm a five.

280
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.639
<v Speaker 5>And that was my point when arizon A Football, you

281
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:15.919
<v Speaker 5>know if we do well, we're going to fill the stadium. Well,

282
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:19.399
<v Speaker 5>what is doing well in Arizona? Yeah, my fans correct,

283
00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:21.080
<v Speaker 5>we start off five and oh I'll go I'll go

284
00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:22.879
<v Speaker 5>watch them and they go five. Now sure, sure, sure,

285
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:24.960
<v Speaker 5>but you know the fan base. It's not a great

286
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:27.279
<v Speaker 5>fan base. No, and it's kind of worse throughout the year.

287
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:30.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and they have to get improvements at that place

288
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:32.080
<v Speaker 2>or thirteen.

289
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:32.840
<v Speaker 4>Uh uh.

290
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:36.679
<v Speaker 2>They gotta get improvements at that place to make things better.

291
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:38.919
<v Speaker 2>Because have you been as a fan. Have you come

292
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:39.960
<v Speaker 2>to football as a fan a.

293
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:40.559
<v Speaker 4>Long time ago?

294
00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:45.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, just not recently, but you've heard the complaints. The sound,

295
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.919
<v Speaker 5>the seating, the seating, the toilets, okay, that and those

296
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:49.600
<v Speaker 5>are just three.

297
00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:51.600
<v Speaker 4>And then the food. That's so much.

298
00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:55.000
<v Speaker 2>The food they've tried to improve with the sound, the seating,

299
00:13:55.480 --> 00:14:01.200
<v Speaker 2>the accommodations, it's not it's not worthy if that's it's

300
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:01.840
<v Speaker 2>not updated.

301
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:04.120

<v Speaker 4>Right now, their handcut. You see the hat emory. The kitchen,

453
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:01.599
<v Speaker 4>the kitchen, you know what it is, right, it's a

454
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:02.720
<v Speaker 4>big term kitchen.

455
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:04.680
<v Speaker 2>I've never been in the kitchen and I've never worn

456
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:05.960
<v Speaker 2>an apron, so I don't know what the hell you're

457
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:06.400
<v Speaker 2>talking about.

458
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:10.519
<v Speaker 5>The second apron is like their their luxury tack. Honestly,

459
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:12.720
<v Speaker 5>I don't know what it is, but that's the term

460
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:15.559
<v Speaker 5>they use for them in terms of luxury attacks and whatnot.

461
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.039
<v Speaker 2>That's superfluous, and I have no idea how to spell that,

462
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:21.759
<v Speaker 2>So I just said the big words. We're using Apron, kitchen,

463
00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:25.480
<v Speaker 2>superflo who gives it crap? Yeah, so they're not any good.

464
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:28.599
<v Speaker 2>It's were really weird because they've never really been that rever.

465
00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:30.359
<v Speaker 2>It's rarely that they've been really good.

466
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.160
<v Speaker 5>I think it's they've been they've been very good, but

467
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:37.440
<v Speaker 5>it's rare that they're in that Emmy finals comment. They

468
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:41.000
<v Speaker 5>get to the Western Commons Finals and then something weird happens. Yeah,

469
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:43.079
<v Speaker 5>now the team beats them, a better team beats them.

470
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:47.319
<v Speaker 5>Steve Dashkin been thrown into the stands. I covered the three.

471
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:49.240
<v Speaker 2>I covered him ninety three with Bill Barkley, and then

472
00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:51.119
<v Speaker 2>I spent the summer up there with with that team

473
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:53.920
<v Speaker 2>and the Chicago Bulls. It was a fantastic time. But

474
00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:56.119
<v Speaker 2>and then that was the closest. And then they were

475
00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:57.160
<v Speaker 2>in the finals.

476
00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:59.799
<v Speaker 5>Two years ago, years ago and they were up four

477
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:02.440
<v Speaker 5>are up to gave us to nothing? How is DeAndre doing?

478
00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:04.559
<v Speaker 5>Because Parlan has been on a streak here, they've been

479
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:06.160
<v Speaker 5>on a streak. He's been playing better. But it's the

480
00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:08.200
<v Speaker 5>same old aid. And if you if you have him

481
00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:10.640
<v Speaker 5>ramped up, he's gonna be great. But if he doesn't care.

482
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:15.279
<v Speaker 5>If he doesn't, it's gonna be awful. It's it's it's

483
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:18.440
<v Speaker 5>the biggest waste of talent I've seen. Maybe Theraver come

484
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:22.839
<v Speaker 5>out of Arizona. Really m I'll say that is a

485
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:24.559
<v Speaker 5>better Suns fan. I don't care, no, no, no, I

486
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:25.519
<v Speaker 5>get it.

487
00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:26.119
<v Speaker 4>But he was that.

488
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:28.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean he was a good player, which what you mean.

489
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:30.599
<v Speaker 2>I say this all the time. If I had a

490
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:34.720
<v Speaker 2>chance to pick between marketing and Aden, I'm picking marketing

491
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:35.599
<v Speaker 2>ten out of ten.

492
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:36.400
<v Speaker 4>The thing.

493
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:38.200
<v Speaker 5>The thing with Aden, I think he is one of

494
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:40.960
<v Speaker 5>the most talented players everyone has ever had. When you

495
00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:43.079
<v Speaker 5>have a seven footer, be able to go coast to coast,

496
00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:46.960
<v Speaker 5>finish at the round, play excellent defense, do everything skill

497
00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:50.640
<v Speaker 5>set wise phenomenally in the low post, you have the

498
00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:51.480
<v Speaker 5>talent to be a.

499
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:54.319
<v Speaker 4>I came Elijah Wan talent.

500
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:56.960
<v Speaker 5>But if you don't have the motor, if you don't care,

501
00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:59.480
<v Speaker 5>if you're fin making the money, you're not gonna be.

502
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:01.319
<v Speaker 2>Better than know And that that's half the battle of

503
00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:03.640
<v Speaker 2>being good. I mean you have to have that mindset.

504
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:05.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's what makes that's what separates it good

505
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:07.200
<v Speaker 2>from the bad or the people who make it and

506
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:09.640
<v Speaker 2>don't make it and that's in life too. Yeah, you know,

507
00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:12.440
<v Speaker 2>you know those people you've seen him. You know, I'm

508
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:14.359
<v Speaker 2>at the age now where I'm kind of one not

509
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:16.880
<v Speaker 2>on the up swing. I'm on the downswing. And we

510
00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:19.279
<v Speaker 2>were talking about people off the air, and you know, hey,

511
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:21.960
<v Speaker 2>if I have a good show in the house, doesn't burn,

512
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:25.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm good baby.

513
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:27.880
<v Speaker 4>You're not trying to make it to you.

514
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:31.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, that would just give me more crap to

515
00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:31.640
<v Speaker 2>deal with.

516
00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:33.599
<v Speaker 4>Either what I'm saying.

517
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:35.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I want to write this out for another

518
00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:37.640
<v Speaker 2>few years and try to do the best job I can,

519
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:39.680
<v Speaker 2>But I ain't worried about putting my name on Twitter.

520
00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:42.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, this is what I hate today. Who cares?

521
00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:42.759
<v Speaker 7>Yeh?

522
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:46.400
<v Speaker 4>No, I agree. So I asked you about Nolah fa Fida.

523
00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:48.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah okay, yeah, give me the question again. So make

524
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:50.160
<v Speaker 4>it tough on me because I'm I'm not thinking.

525
00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:53.039
<v Speaker 5>Okay, So this upcoming season, yeah, my favors in a

526
00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:55.400
<v Speaker 5>football how important is this season for Noah?

527
00:23:55.839 --> 00:23:58.599
<v Speaker 2>Like yeah, okay, I don't know, because I don't know

528
00:23:58.640 --> 00:24:01.559
<v Speaker 2>what he's he's thinking or his legacy. But will he

529
00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:04.279
<v Speaker 2>end up If he does really well, he could be

530
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:08.079
<v Speaker 2>he could be one of the one of the greats

531
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:10.160
<v Speaker 2>And I could even tell you who's the greatest quarterback

532
00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:10.640
<v Speaker 2>here ever?

533
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:13.640
<v Speaker 4>Did he? What did he do? What's his resume show.

534
00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:15.960
<v Speaker 5>Here in terms of stats very well, but in terms

535
00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:18.079
<v Speaker 5>of when his losses not very well. Okay, So what's

536
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:20.400
<v Speaker 5>his legacy?

537
00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:20.640
<v Speaker 7>Right?

538
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:22.640
<v Speaker 4>Because we're talking you a football, right, so you talk

539
00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:23.839
<v Speaker 4>legacy here?

540
00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:26.759
<v Speaker 2>What does it matter? I mean, he's the best quarterback

541
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:28.599
<v Speaker 2>you ever? Probably not, but.

542
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:33.279
<v Speaker 5>It's hard to say here who's who's whose legacies are important?

543
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:34.319
<v Speaker 4>Are important? Here?

544
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:40.799
<v Speaker 2>You know Ricky players, Ricky Chuck, Teddy Bruski. Okay, now

545
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:43.960
<v Speaker 2>to right right? And I thought he'd be the best

546
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:47.000
<v Speaker 2>player ever here and in his season didn't didn't but

547
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:48.519
<v Speaker 2>that was no fault of his own.

548
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:51.160
<v Speaker 4>But still I still think he probably is the best player.

549
00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:54.440
<v Speaker 5>Probably all time, probably, but given his stats not so

550
00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:56.960
<v Speaker 5>much because it wasn't his fault, it was just a circumstance.

551
00:24:58.359 --> 00:25:01.759
<v Speaker 5>So his legacy for Freedo, I don't know, Troy, because

552
00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:04.279
<v Speaker 5>what does it matter? Probably doesn't matter to him. He

553
00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:07.799
<v Speaker 5>just wants to win, yeah, and do really well. He's me,

554
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:10.640
<v Speaker 5>He's me just as a twenty one year old in

555
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:11.519
<v Speaker 5>a different situation.

556
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:14.680
<v Speaker 2>I just want to win. But you know, don't bother me. Yeah,

557
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:15.440
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying.

558
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:18.920
<v Speaker 5>What I mean is you have that phenomenal breakout yet Yeah,

559
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:19.519
<v Speaker 5>then you had this.

560
00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:20.079
<v Speaker 10>That's fine.

561
00:25:20.119 --> 00:25:22.440
<v Speaker 4>Let me say something that was by accident. Yeah, that

562
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:26.119
<v Speaker 4>would not have happened had Ben Dolora stayed healthy and Fish.

563
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Would have finally just said okay, let's go.

564
00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:28.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

565
00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:30.119
<v Speaker 5>I mean, and that's not on t Feeda, that's on

566
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.720
<v Speaker 5>Fish one hundred. But he had that year. Then he

567
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:36.519
<v Speaker 5>has the down year with a lot of offensive issues

568
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:39.319
<v Speaker 5>that were out of his control and somewhere in his control.

569
00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:43.160
<v Speaker 5>But you chose Arizona again. You chose Arizona when Fish left,

570
00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:45.559
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to come back. You have this horrible year

571
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.000
<v Speaker 5>with a new coaching staff, forward and very easy to

572
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:50.480
<v Speaker 5>leave to another place. I don't know if he's getting

573
00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:52.400
<v Speaker 5>in the nil at other places that he could have

574
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:55.880
<v Speaker 5>gotten when he first originally left. Maybe, but he chose

575
00:25:55.880 --> 00:25:56.759
<v Speaker 5>Arizona again.

576
00:25:57.000 --> 00:25:57.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

577
00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:58.839
<v Speaker 5>So now if you have a good year, let's say

578
00:25:58.839 --> 00:26:02.119
<v Speaker 5>they get seven eight wins, but he has a statistically

579
00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:05.279
<v Speaker 5>good year in terms of one of the more beloved,

580
00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:07.240
<v Speaker 5>beloved players in Arizon history.

581
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:11.119
<v Speaker 2>Well, let me say this, okay, Yeah, and he's recognizable, right,

582
00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:13.440
<v Speaker 2>if you see him and he's on TV enough. He's

583
00:26:13.480 --> 00:26:16.960
<v Speaker 2>not a typical looking football player. I do think that

584
00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:19.960
<v Speaker 2>when he comes back, he comes back to visit or whatever,

585
00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:21.759
<v Speaker 2>maybe you'll stay here, that he won't have to buy

586
00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:24.920
<v Speaker 2>a beer if he ever wants wants one. You know,

587
00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:28.400
<v Speaker 2>there's very few of those people that can do that.

588
00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:32.519
<v Speaker 2>You know, he Steaker, Sean, Sean Elliott, those types of guys. Oh, hello,

589
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:36.519
<v Speaker 2>I stay, tell me, don't worry about it. Probably, but

590
00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:40.240
<v Speaker 2>we don't know until we know who recently anybody recently

591
00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:45.400
<v Speaker 2>like that Gronk, there's your one guy Bruski Bruski, and

592
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:48.160
<v Speaker 2>that they're visible because they're on TV. If they weren't

593
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:49.799
<v Speaker 2>on TV, who are you?

594
00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:55.240
<v Speaker 4>You look? You look familiar and well McMillan very quiet. Yeah.

595
00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:59.279
<v Speaker 4>Not Ankerson, No.

596
00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:02.680
<v Speaker 2>And he had he had a pretty good little run

597
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:06.039
<v Speaker 2>until he didn't and then now and now he's gone. Yeah,

598
00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:08.759
<v Speaker 2>but you know what I'm saying, Legacy in football is

599
00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:09.799
<v Speaker 2>totally different than basketball.

600
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:10.200
<v Speaker 10>It is.

601
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:11.960
<v Speaker 2>And they're not visible, they're not you can't see him

602
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:13.519
<v Speaker 2>through the helmet. You kind of know him in the

603
00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:14.200
<v Speaker 2>media a little.

604
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:19.839
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. He could be one of the top

605
00:27:20.079 --> 00:27:20.680
<v Speaker 4>twenty five.

606
00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:23.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, even though he's the quarterback, which he should

607
00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:25.359
<v Speaker 2>be higher. You bet, we'll see when we see it,

608
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:28.160
<v Speaker 2>and and and and maybe that's a question we asked,

609
00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:29.640
<v Speaker 2>when we see him in spring or in the fall.

610
00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:32.200
<v Speaker 2>What do you hope your legacy would be? M h

611
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:34.880
<v Speaker 2>I think you know what. I think his actual would

612
00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:37.039
<v Speaker 2>be putting Arizona football back on the map.

613
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:39.920
<v Speaker 4>Building a foundation stuff like that.

614
00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:42.559
<v Speaker 2>Sure, sure, and that would be a pretty good found

615
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:46.200
<v Speaker 2>That would be a pretty good legacy because who's done that.

616
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:49.920
<v Speaker 3>They have a cot T at number two and Nick

617
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:50.680
<v Speaker 3>Foles at one.

618
00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:54.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and seeing to me he's not a top five quarterback, Well,

619
00:27:54.920 --> 00:27:55.319
<v Speaker 5>who's that?

620
00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:58.480
<v Speaker 3>Where'd you get that from? Ranker a website?

621
00:27:58.759 --> 00:27:58.920
<v Speaker 7>Yeah?

622
00:27:58.960 --> 00:27:59.640
<v Speaker 4>I know that one.

623
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:02.079
<v Speaker 5>And it's kind of like some dude who I could

624
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:05.160
<v Speaker 5>sit here and I could rank Yeah, that's why I

625
00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:07.480
<v Speaker 5>kind of who's the source? Yeah, so Dick falls.

626
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:09.480
<v Speaker 2>I think Nick Foles because of his name and his

627
00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:13.359
<v Speaker 2>NFL stuff, not because of here, but Nikolil Okay, but

628
00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:16.119
<v Speaker 2>he too got accidentally put in that situation.

629
00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:18.039
<v Speaker 5>You know, someone had to get hurt and it didn't

630
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:20.680
<v Speaker 5>last No, no, it was to be honest, it was

631
00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:21.720
<v Speaker 5>a flash in the band.

632
00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:25.319
<v Speaker 3>Right, right, So the some twelve year olds wrote that, yeah, Tom,

633
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:27.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah doesn't does Yeah.

634
00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:29.720
<v Speaker 4>And he's probably and he's been on the show a

635
00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:30.240
<v Speaker 4>number of times.

636
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:33.480
<v Speaker 2>He's smith these guys, and these guys are way older

637
00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:36.599
<v Speaker 2>now and and they had they had good runs, great runs.

638
00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Not not like Khalil, but Khalil's was, like you said,

639
00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:40.240
<v Speaker 2>it was a candle in the wind.

640
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:44.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, okay, you know who you know who? Everybody forgets

641
00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:44.759
<v Speaker 4>about that.

642
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:50.000
<v Speaker 5>Will to Thomas Scott. That's Scott, that's Scott. Yeah, yeah,

643
00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:52.640
<v Speaker 5>I mean Willy. He held all the records before n

644
00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:53.480
<v Speaker 5>Foles came around.

645
00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:57.240
<v Speaker 4>Ye'll tell you talk about Willie? What about? Yeah?

651
00:29:12.599 --> 00:29:12.759

00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:22.240
<v Speaker 8>Rancor means something else?

657
00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:25.839
<v Speaker 4>Do you want to have to tell me off the air?

658
00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:26.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm too old to understand.

659
00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:31.559
<v Speaker 8>He's a head ranker a website, you know what.

660
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:36.400
<v Speaker 18>Uh As far as Teddy Bruce though goes back in

661
00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:38.000
<v Speaker 18>the day, I mean, dude was a d N.

662
00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:42.839
<v Speaker 8>But he was like the face of football and for.

663
00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:44.599
<v Speaker 4>A long time, right, for a long time. That's kind

664
00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:45.119
<v Speaker 4>of still is.

665
00:29:46.359 --> 00:29:48.440
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, no, he and yeah I think he still is.

666
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:49.799
<v Speaker 8>To me, he still is.

667
00:29:50.440 --> 00:29:53.680
<v Speaker 18>Khalil Tate is a flash in the pan. But as

668
00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:57.319
<v Speaker 18>far as like Teddy was here for four years, yeah,

669
00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:01.240
<v Speaker 18>four years, and like like we didn't see it and

670
00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:04.039
<v Speaker 18>I was a kid, but I mean we didn't see it, like, oh,

671
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:06.160
<v Speaker 18>this dude's a d N. Like we didn't even think

672
00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:08.640
<v Speaker 18>about that. We just had Teddy Bruski is you have

673
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:14.319
<v Speaker 18>a football. But as far as uh Fafita's legacy, I

674
00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:18.079
<v Speaker 18>think he is very much poised if Brett Brennan doesn't

675
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:22.960
<v Speaker 18>screw it up to fa' that's what kind of hurt

676
00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:27.160
<v Speaker 18>everybody's heart last year, Fia and Mac were poised to

677
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:30.160
<v Speaker 18>do something special and then you know we had the

678
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:33.279
<v Speaker 18>most un underwhelming coaching stuff of all time for it.

679
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:36.319
<v Speaker 18>But yeah, I don't that's a hard list to make

680
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:38.839
<v Speaker 18>because it is you have a football.

681
00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:41.319
<v Speaker 8>But yeah, bruce Ki to me is number one.

682
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:44.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, would't you put up well, in today's world, probably

683
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:47.759
<v Speaker 2>Grounk number two because of everyone's visible and active and

684
00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:49.720
<v Speaker 2>not because of what they did here, but what they

685
00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:50.440
<v Speaker 2>did afterwards.

686
00:30:51.400 --> 00:30:54.240
<v Speaker 8>Well, yeah, it would be because what he did afterward.

687
00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:56.359
<v Speaker 8>When he was here. People, you know, revision is history

688
00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:57.279
<v Speaker 8>takes control of you.

689
00:30:57.359 --> 00:30:59.960
<v Speaker 18>Gotta remember when he was here, he was like the

690
00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:03.880
<v Speaker 18>you know, squandered. Uh yeah, you know, people are like,

691
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:06.359
<v Speaker 18>oh man, like whoo yeah, who this guy's getting?

692
00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:08.720
<v Speaker 8>You know, Okay, the Patriots picked him up, who cares?

693
00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:10.960
<v Speaker 18>And then all of a sudden, you know, he becomes

694
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:15.279
<v Speaker 18>he becomes Gronk. But yeah, well he was here, even

695
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:18.039
<v Speaker 18>Nick Foles, even Nick Foles, I mean, we were like, wow,

696
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:21.640
<v Speaker 18>this guy, we finally got a real quarterback, and we

697
00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:23.359
<v Speaker 18>thought he was gonna take it to the Promised Land.

698
00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:27.440
<v Speaker 18>And and even then, yeah, you know that that smacked

699
00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:30.039
<v Speaker 18>down by Nebraska thirty to nothing in the Holiday Bowl,

700
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:33.039
<v Speaker 18>the second one, the one that we lost.

701
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:35.160
<v Speaker 8>But yeah, and then he goes to the NFL and wins

702
00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:35.839
<v Speaker 8>the Super Bowl.

703
00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:39.839
<v Speaker 18>So I think, uh, but yeah, Bruceki gronk Folds. Those

704
00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:42.720
<v Speaker 18>guys are are right up in there, and uh and.

705
00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:43.359
<v Speaker 4>That's I think.

706
00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:46.279
<v Speaker 2>And that's again not that's not you A related, that's

707
00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:47.240
<v Speaker 2>NFL related.

708
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:51.000
<v Speaker 18>Well, I think the thing with Bruski though, it is

709
00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:51.920
<v Speaker 18>u A related.

710
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:54.240
<v Speaker 8>So he has both. He has the u of a

711
00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:56.599
<v Speaker 8>career to back it up, and he has the NFL career.

712
00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:01.319
<v Speaker 2>So okay, so let's let's say specific you of a history,

713
00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Ricky Chuck Bruski.

714
00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:06.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm just throwing names out.

715
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:08.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm not putting a list of uh and and who

716
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:10.839
<v Speaker 2>else in the top five and where do they arrange?

717
00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:16.039
<v Speaker 18>Wow, that's a that's a great question, because Chuck Chuck

718
00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:19.680
<v Speaker 18>is uh, you know, a demi god around here. That

719
00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:22.000
<v Speaker 18>play they they could show that play on the jumbo

720
00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:24.480
<v Speaker 18>Tron every game and we lose our minds.

721
00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:27.359
<v Speaker 8>You know, I'm like four years old than that happened.

722
00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:29.440
<v Speaker 18>I could still tell you what happened on that play,

723
00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:34.119
<v Speaker 18>you know, I think Brandon Sanders to me, is in there.

724
00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:35.359
<v Speaker 17>You know.

725
00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:38.440
<v Speaker 8>Then we start getting in the weeds, you know, with certain.

726
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:40.000
<v Speaker 18>Guys like to me, I would just be like, hey,

731
00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:52.200

<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's the list that you put together and say, okay,

736
00:33:01.920 --> 00:33:03.920

00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:47.759
<v Speaker 18>Personalities, certain players that really took over the narrative and

752
00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:48.640
<v Speaker 18>and for good reason.

753
00:33:48.640 --> 00:33:50.200
<v Speaker 8>And I think Teddy Bruski is at the.

754
00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:50.559
<v Speaker 7>Top of that.

755
00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:52.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think I think so too well.

756
00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:55.279
<v Speaker 5>And he really embodied what Arizona football was back in

757
00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:58.640
<v Speaker 5>the nineties, has football. We're gonna snap you in the mouth,

758
00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:01.240
<v Speaker 5>best defensive prom probably of that era.

759
00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:05.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, by Pac twelve net.

760
00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:07.720
<v Speaker 18>We're probably the only good thing that network ever did.

761
00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:10.880
<v Speaker 18>But it was on h Teddy Bruce Ki and it

762
00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:13.639
<v Speaker 18>kind of got inside of his head, and it's basically,

763
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:17.199
<v Speaker 18>everybody disrespects us, everybody doesn't like us, and we're.

764
00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:18.400
<v Speaker 8>Gonna we're gonna screw everybody.

<v Speaker 20>I've been to Phoenix in the Scottsdale area good and out,

884
00:39:48.280 --> 00:39:50.559
<v Speaker 20>but my first time over here in Tucson in the

885
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:53.360

886
00:39:53.400 --> 00:39:55.239
<v Speaker 20>I got a nice club that we're playing our tournament

887
00:39:55.239 --> 00:39:56.280
<v Speaker 20>as so yeah, it's been great.

888
00:39:56.400 --> 00:39:57.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, fantastic.

889
00:39:57.679 --> 00:40:01.000
<v Speaker 2>I saw your your University of Maryland guy, you grew

890
00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:03.480
<v Speaker 2>up in that area. How in the world you're I

891
00:40:03.480 --> 00:40:06.199
<v Speaker 2>think you're twenty five, twenty six How did you become

892
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:08.559
<v Speaker 2>How did you become who you became?

893
00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:13.280
<v Speaker 20>Yeah, no, it's a funny story, just like most people

894
00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:16.239
<v Speaker 20>will play pickball usually have a funny story. But I

895
00:40:16.360 --> 00:40:21.800
<v Speaker 20>was actually in Florida near Naples, where the US Open

896
00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:25.239
<v Speaker 20>was held, and my family lived down there for part

897
00:40:25.239 --> 00:40:27.400
<v Speaker 20>of the year, So I actually did not learn the

898
00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:29.159
<v Speaker 20>game in Maryland, even though I'm from there. I learned

899
00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:31.559
<v Speaker 20>it in Florida, and I was lucky enough to be

900
00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:33.559
<v Speaker 20>close to the first US Open that was ever held

901
00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:36.719
<v Speaker 20>in twenty sixteen, So yeah, I found some cool people,

902
00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:40.000
<v Speaker 20>played with them, and then played my first tournament, the

903
00:40:40.079 --> 00:40:42.000
<v Speaker 20>US Open, and then I was pretty much hooked from

904
00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:44.960
<v Speaker 20>there and I kept playing tournaments, not really for money

905
00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:46.920
<v Speaker 20>or anything, just more for fun, and you know, it

906
00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:49.320
<v Speaker 20>was having a great time playing. I did go to

907
00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:51.519
<v Speaker 20>the University of Maryland, but kept competing in pickleball as

908
00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:53.679
<v Speaker 20>I was doing that, and you know, pickleball kind of

909
00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:56.599
<v Speaker 20>exploded in the time that I was in college, and

910
00:40:57.480 --> 00:41:00.599
<v Speaker 20>with me continuing to play, the success was just kind

911
00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:03.599
<v Speaker 20>of a bit lucky and the fortunate that I found it.

912
00:41:03.800 --> 00:41:05.559
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know, you kind of mentioned that there was

913
00:41:05.679 --> 00:41:08.320
<v Speaker 5>you being in college and the sport exploding and growing

914
00:41:08.719 --> 00:41:11.400
<v Speaker 5>into what it has become today. Just your thoughts on

915
00:41:11.440 --> 00:41:12.760
<v Speaker 5>how it has grown since then.

916
00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:16.519
<v Speaker 21>Yeah, no, for sure, I mean everyone comments on it.

917
00:41:16.519 --> 00:41:17.280
<v Speaker 7>It's just incredible.

918
00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:20.039
<v Speaker 20>It feels like, you know, five six years ago, people

919
00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:22.000
<v Speaker 20>didn't even know what pickaball was. You know, you'd say it,

920
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:24.960
<v Speaker 20>you'd get a blank look like what is that? Or

921
00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:26.960
<v Speaker 20>if they didn't know what it was, like I never

922
00:41:27.039 --> 00:41:32.400
<v Speaker 20>retired people. Yeah, no, it's changed drastically. Usually you get

923
00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:34.840
<v Speaker 20>a lot of enthusiasm. Is like either oh my gosh,

924
00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:37.360
<v Speaker 20>I played, I love it too and it's amazing, or like, oh,

925
00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:38.840
<v Speaker 20>I have some friends that are really into it.

926
00:41:38.920 --> 00:41:40.000
<v Speaker 7>I was thinking about starting.

927
00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:42.400
<v Speaker 20>You know, you get replies like that, and you know,

928
00:41:42.440 --> 00:41:45.159
<v Speaker 20>it's less uh, the stigma of it's for old people.

929
00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:47.000
<v Speaker 21>It's more like, oh, well, it's a sport for everybody.

930
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:50.360
<v Speaker 20>It's old, it's young, it's uh, middle aged, it's athletes,

931
00:41:50.440 --> 00:41:53.599
<v Speaker 20>non athletes. It can be really anyone from anywhere, which

932
00:41:53.639 --> 00:41:55.320
<v Speaker 20>I think is one of the coolest parts about pickaball

933
00:41:55.320 --> 00:41:55.639
<v Speaker 20>that just.

934
00:41:55.559 --> 00:41:58.119
<v Speaker 7>Made it so popular. You truly a sport for everyone.

935
00:41:58.239 --> 00:41:59.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you talked about you guys were playing as a

936
00:41:59.679 --> 00:42:02.280
<v Speaker 2>two racket for this club, which is you know, I

937
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:04.559
<v Speaker 2>hadn't been there in a while. It's a fantastic venue.

938
00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:07.599
<v Speaker 2>And you know that I got there and I was

939
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:10.320
<v Speaker 2>watching you guys. I sit home my achilles. I started

940
00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:13.360
<v Speaker 2>hurt just watching you guys, And you know what I

941
00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:15.840
<v Speaker 2>remember seeing is just, you know, it's the danks and

942
00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:17.719
<v Speaker 2>the dunks and the slow hits and blah blah blah

943
00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:19.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of people not wanting to make mistakes. And then

944
00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:21.880
<v Speaker 2>I see you guys are just hitting the crap out

945
00:42:21.880 --> 00:42:22.119
<v Speaker 2>of it.

946
00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:24.480
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

947
00:42:24.559 --> 00:42:27.320
<v Speaker 20>Yeah, well pick a Ball is definitely a slow game

948
00:42:27.360 --> 00:42:29.800
<v Speaker 20>in some scenarios, in a very fast game and others.

949
00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:32.599
<v Speaker 20>So yeah, it's it's very dynamic. There's a lot of

950
00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:34.760
<v Speaker 20>strategy to it, and I think one part about it

951
00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:37.920
<v Speaker 20>that makes people really enjoy the game is that that

952
00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:40.559
<v Speaker 20>dynamic of going from slow to fast very suddenly.

953
00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:44.119
<v Speaker 2>Before Troy asked the question, So I went to the

954
00:42:44.599 --> 00:42:46.480
<v Speaker 2>event and I was hoping to run into you, and

955
00:42:46.559 --> 00:42:49.440
<v Speaker 2>I did, thanks thanks to Allison and uh so I

956
00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:51.400
<v Speaker 2>put you on on our website and all that stuff

957
00:42:51.400 --> 00:42:54.320
<v Speaker 2>for social and then people kind of blew up the

958
00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:56.400
<v Speaker 2>social saying that's a heck of a get. And let

959
00:42:56.440 --> 00:43:00.519
<v Speaker 2>me tell you, Ben, I've had some great guests, pros, NFL,

960
00:43:01.639 --> 00:43:05.239
<v Speaker 2>major League ballplayers, and I think, Ben, you've made me popular.

961
00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:08.719
<v Speaker 21>Well, I'm glad I could assist.

962
00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:10.880
<v Speaker 20>It was fortunate to meet you there right right at

963
00:43:10.880 --> 00:43:12.840
<v Speaker 20>the entrance too. You were like the first person I

964
00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:13.559
<v Speaker 20>ran into.

965
00:43:13.360 --> 00:43:13.760
<v Speaker 7>And talked to.

966
00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:14.719
<v Speaker 4>It was unbelievable.

967
00:43:14.760 --> 00:43:16.800
<v Speaker 5>Yes, yes, yes, so go ahead say no, I was,

968
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:18.440
<v Speaker 5>you know, just going to ask you in terms of

969
00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:21.800
<v Speaker 5>the speed and all that, but also how important are

970
00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:24.519
<v Speaker 5>angles when it comes to pick a bat. Yeah, strategy

971
00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:26.360
<v Speaker 5>and strategy and stuff like that.

972
00:43:27.679 --> 00:43:29.239
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, no, it's it's enormous.

973
00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:31.920
<v Speaker 20>I think most people are more familiar in uh, in pickball,

974
00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:35.519
<v Speaker 20>playing doubles and that, I'd say strategy and shot selection.

975
00:43:35.719 --> 00:43:37.559
<v Speaker 20>I mean, of course you need a foundation of you

976
00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:39.719
<v Speaker 20>have to be able to complete, you know, strokes and

977
00:43:39.760 --> 00:43:42.760
<v Speaker 20>actually have shots in order to have strategy. But the

978
00:43:43.039 --> 00:43:45.360
<v Speaker 20>strategy of shot selection is one of the biggest parts

979
00:43:45.360 --> 00:43:47.960
<v Speaker 20>about pick of ball that makes it very fun for people.

980
00:43:48.000 --> 00:43:49.280
<v Speaker 21>I think a lot of people, you know, call it

981
00:43:49.400 --> 00:43:49.920
<v Speaker 21>kind of like.

982
00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:51.719
<v Speaker 20>A patience game in a lot of ways, And that's

983
00:43:51.760 --> 00:43:54.320
<v Speaker 20>really just another word for you know, selecting the appropriate

984
00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:56.559
<v Speaker 20>shot of the appropriate time, so kind of engaging your

985
00:43:56.559 --> 00:43:59.000
<v Speaker 20>mind at the same time as being, you know, a

986
00:43:59.159 --> 00:44:03.119
<v Speaker 20>normal sport and athleticism. It's a nice little accommodation there.

987
00:44:03.440 --> 00:44:06.599
<v Speaker 20>As for kind of angles, I think angles are definitely

988
00:44:06.800 --> 00:44:10.760
<v Speaker 20>pretty huge, certainly for putting balls away, for understanding kind

989
00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:13.760
<v Speaker 20>of the angles of the court, where you can attack,

990
00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:16.800
<v Speaker 20>to where you shouldn't attack, to where attacks are mostly

991
00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:19.559
<v Speaker 20>going to come from on the court, and where you

992
00:44:19.559 --> 00:44:21.760
<v Speaker 20>need to be covering. Those are all huge parts of

993
00:44:21.760 --> 00:44:24.440
<v Speaker 20>the game, and certainly a part that a lot of

994
00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:27.159
<v Speaker 20>people struggle with, but it's one of the more rewarding

995
00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:28.320
<v Speaker 20>parts to get down to.

996
00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:29.800
<v Speaker 7>The angles play a huge role.

997
00:44:29.880 --> 00:44:32.719
<v Speaker 20>Just like most racket sports, tennis, table tennis, you know,

998
00:44:32.760 --> 00:44:34.360
<v Speaker 20>angles are definitely extremely important.

999
00:44:34.440 --> 00:44:35.840
<v Speaker 2>I was going to ask you about that because I

1000
00:44:35.840 --> 00:44:38.360
<v Speaker 2>saw that you played table tennis as a younger player.

1001
00:44:38.440 --> 00:44:39.960
<v Speaker 4>I guess I played. I played.

1002
00:44:40.039 --> 00:44:41.880
<v Speaker 2>I was about at the top of my game, about

1003
00:44:41.880 --> 00:44:45.039
<v Speaker 2>thirteen fifty rated. Now it's kind of change. I haven't

1004
00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:49.360
<v Speaker 2>played in a while. But is there the translation translation

1005
00:44:49.519 --> 00:44:52.880
<v Speaker 2>the same? And I don't hold the paddle that way

1006
00:44:53.000 --> 00:44:55.320
<v Speaker 2>as a as a big a ball player, But is

1007
00:44:55.360 --> 00:44:55.880
<v Speaker 2>it the same?

1008
00:44:57.880 --> 00:45:00.880
<v Speaker 20>You know, it's pickleball's accommodation of a lot of sports.

1009
00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:04.440
<v Speaker 20>I think pretty much all the racket sports have some translation,

1010
00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:07.480
<v Speaker 20>but not an entire translation to pick a ball, and

1011
00:45:07.559 --> 00:45:10.239
<v Speaker 20>even non racket sports has some interesting translation. I've met,

1012
00:45:10.280 --> 00:45:13.000
<v Speaker 20>you know, like some very good baseball pitchers to have

1013
00:45:13.159 --> 00:45:15.679
<v Speaker 20>enormous overheads and very good ball tracking, and you know,

1014
00:45:15.719 --> 00:45:16.840
<v Speaker 20>maybe they struggle in other ways.

1015
00:45:16.840 --> 00:45:17.960
<v Speaker 21>But every sport kind of has.

1016
00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:20.400
<v Speaker 20>Something to offer in terms of a background that transfers

1017
00:45:20.440 --> 00:45:23.360
<v Speaker 20>to pickaball in one way or another. Table tennis is

1018
00:45:23.400 --> 00:45:24.840
<v Speaker 20>certainly a good one. I think there's a ton of

1019
00:45:24.840 --> 00:45:28.159
<v Speaker 20>transfers in stroke development for certain types of shots, and

1020
00:45:28.199 --> 00:45:32.039
<v Speaker 20>pickball certainly a lot of reading of spin, reading of strokes,

1021
00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:36.239
<v Speaker 20>peripheral vision stuff, all of that is very transferable. So

1022
00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:39.400
<v Speaker 20>it's definitely one of the best background sports along with tennis.

1023
00:45:39.400 --> 00:45:43.920
<v Speaker 20>I think table tennis is extremely beneficial for pigball players.

1024
00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:47.719
<v Speaker 2>I was going to ask you, so you how quickly

1025
00:45:47.719 --> 00:45:50.119
<v Speaker 2>did you become this guy? If you were like sixteen

1026
00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:51.840
<v Speaker 2>seventeen when you first picked it up, and you must

1027
00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:53.960
<v Speaker 2>have been very good at it early, but let me

1028
00:45:53.960 --> 00:45:56.000
<v Speaker 2>see this that question, and how long it took you

1029
00:45:56.039 --> 00:45:58.199
<v Speaker 2>to get to be who you are? But so now

1030
00:45:58.239 --> 00:46:00.800
<v Speaker 2>you are one or two the best in the country,

1031
00:46:00.840 --> 00:46:03.719
<v Speaker 2>in the country, if not the world. How do you

1032
00:46:03.800 --> 00:46:05.960
<v Speaker 2>stay there? Because you know, in order to get better,

1033
00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:08.119
<v Speaker 2>you've got to play better people. Right, you can compete

1034
00:46:08.119 --> 00:46:10.239
<v Speaker 2>and you will get better. You compete better now that

1035
00:46:10.280 --> 00:46:12.440
<v Speaker 2>you were at the top. How difficult is it staying

1036
00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:13.000
<v Speaker 2>at that top?

1037
00:46:14.599 --> 00:46:17.519
<v Speaker 20>Yeah, I would say first, as far as getting there,

1038
00:46:17.960 --> 00:46:20.440
<v Speaker 20>you know, really the Pro Tour has only been around

1039
00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:22.400
<v Speaker 20>since twenty twenty, So for the first couple of years

1040
00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:25.320
<v Speaker 20>I played, it was really just playing kind of solo

1041
00:46:25.400 --> 00:46:28.119
<v Speaker 20>events which were still technically pro tournaments, but they weren't

1042
00:46:28.119 --> 00:46:29.960
<v Speaker 20>part of a tour. They were just kind of individual

1043
00:46:29.960 --> 00:46:33.400
<v Speaker 20>events to get to, you know, the top level where

1044
00:46:33.400 --> 00:46:37.159
<v Speaker 20>I was competing for titles and stuff. My first title,

1045
00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:40.079
<v Speaker 20>major title, came in twenty seventeen, about a year after

1046
00:46:40.159 --> 00:46:42.039
<v Speaker 20>I started, so that's how long it took me to

1047
00:46:42.039 --> 00:46:44.800
<v Speaker 20>get to the top. In singles and doubles took a

1048
00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:47.639
<v Speaker 20>little longer than that. But the start of the Pro

1049
00:46:47.679 --> 00:46:49.639
<v Speaker 20>Tour was really where there was a little more formality

1050
00:46:49.679 --> 00:46:52.000
<v Speaker 20>to it, a little more kind of ranking based stuff,

1051
00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:53.960
<v Speaker 20>to where I kind of took over that position. So

1052
00:46:54.320 --> 00:46:57.000
<v Speaker 20>I guess you could say since the inception of the

1053
00:46:57.000 --> 00:46:58.880
<v Speaker 20>Pro Tour in twenty twenty or a little before that

1054
00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:03.079
<v Speaker 20>is kind of how long it took me. But you know,

1055
00:47:03.119 --> 00:47:04.840
<v Speaker 20>there's there's a lot of good players and you know

1056
00:47:04.920 --> 00:47:07.199
<v Speaker 20>always coming in, so there's always stuff to work on,

1057
00:47:07.239 --> 00:47:09.800
<v Speaker 20>and that's kind of the park your next question, which

1058
00:47:09.840 --> 00:47:12.360
<v Speaker 20>is you know, staying there, it's it's not always about

1059
00:47:12.360 --> 00:47:15.079
<v Speaker 20>playing with better players. That's certainly extremely helpful and helped

1060
00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:17.079
<v Speaker 20>me a lot in the beginning, but it's also about

1061
00:47:17.199 --> 00:47:20.239
<v Speaker 20>learning from what other players, whether they're technically better than

1062
00:47:20.280 --> 00:47:22.679
<v Speaker 20>you or not, you can almost always find stuff that

1063
00:47:22.679 --> 00:47:25.199
<v Speaker 20>they are better than you at within the game, right

1064
00:47:25.320 --> 00:47:27.320
<v Speaker 20>You're not just because you're better than somebody doesn't mean

1065
00:47:27.360 --> 00:47:29.280
<v Speaker 20>you're better at everything in the game than them.

1066
00:47:29.280 --> 00:47:32.039
<v Speaker 21>It just means on average, you're better than them, and

1067
00:47:32.519 --> 00:47:33.440
<v Speaker 21>you know your skills.

1068
00:47:33.480 --> 00:47:36.320
<v Speaker 20>So usually from every single player, there's something that they do,

1069
00:47:36.719 --> 00:47:39.960
<v Speaker 20>maybe one, two three things extraordinarily well that you can

1070
00:47:40.079 --> 00:47:42.320
<v Speaker 20>learn from and try to make better in your own games.

1071
00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:44.639
<v Speaker 20>So I just kind of try to pick out other

1072
00:47:44.679 --> 00:47:46.400
<v Speaker 20>stuff that that other.

1073
00:47:46.239 --> 00:47:48.400
<v Speaker 21>Players do really well, and I try to learn from that.

1074
00:47:49.679 --> 00:47:52.320
<v Speaker 5>So I don't know how familiar you are with Arizona

1075
00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:55.679
<v Speaker 5>basketball and their head coach, Tommy Lloyd, but Tommy is

1076
00:47:55.719 --> 00:47:58.519
<v Speaker 5>a big, big pickleball fan. He had a built one

1077
00:47:58.719 --> 00:48:03.360
<v Speaker 5>court built in his backyard. Have you ever had other athletes,

1078
00:48:03.440 --> 00:48:06.480
<v Speaker 5>coaches or anything like that, you know, let me challenge

1079
00:48:06.519 --> 00:48:08.760
<v Speaker 5>you on the court, and how is that going?

1080
00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:11.800
<v Speaker 21>Yeah, yeah, no, they definitely.

1081
00:48:11.920 --> 00:48:15.519
<v Speaker 20>I think pickaball is very interesting in that when you

1082
00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:18.360
<v Speaker 20>have athletes that play it, they typically like it a

1083
00:48:18.400 --> 00:48:21.679
<v Speaker 20>lot because it's a support they can play someone competitively

1084
00:48:21.760 --> 00:48:24.320
<v Speaker 20>outside the sport that they predominantly.

1085
00:48:23.679 --> 00:48:25.760
<v Speaker 7>Do, and they can also compete with each other in it.

1086
00:48:25.880 --> 00:48:28.000
<v Speaker 20>Right, So rather than you know, two basketball players going

1087
00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:32.039
<v Speaker 20>head on or even like to inter disciplinary sports where

1088
00:48:32.039 --> 00:48:34.199
<v Speaker 20>it's you know, a basketball player versus a baseball player,

1089
00:48:34.480 --> 00:48:37.280
<v Speaker 20>they find something in common that they can compete at, right,

1090
00:48:37.320 --> 00:48:39.760
<v Speaker 20>like pick a ball, to where it's extremely fun for them.

1091
00:48:39.800 --> 00:48:41.679
<v Speaker 20>So yeah, I know that's definitely happened on a number

1092
00:48:41.719 --> 00:48:44.519
<v Speaker 20>of occasions with a lot of different athletes, and you know,

1093
00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:47.360
<v Speaker 20>they definitely enjoy it and they respect pickaball is like, hey,

1094
00:48:47.360 --> 00:48:50.119
<v Speaker 20>it's got its own pros and I don't expect to do, you.

1095
00:48:50.079 --> 00:48:52.800
<v Speaker 21>Know, super well against a guy that played full time.

1096
00:48:52.679 --> 00:48:55.199
<v Speaker 20>For his job, but I think they definitely enjoy it

1097
00:48:55.239 --> 00:48:57.760
<v Speaker 20>a lot, just because pickleball is a very fun game

1098
00:48:57.760 --> 00:48:58.880
<v Speaker 20>to play with better players.

1099
00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:01.480
<v Speaker 4>So maybe last question. I've been here a long time.

1100
00:49:01.559 --> 00:49:03.440
<v Speaker 2>I've been covered a lot of people, a lot of

1101
00:49:03.519 --> 00:49:07.519
<v Speaker 2>famous name Steve Kerr, YadA, YadA, Uh and uh, he

1102
00:49:07.599 --> 00:49:09.079
<v Speaker 2>was on the show maybe six months ago. I said,

1103
00:49:09.079 --> 00:49:10.719
<v Speaker 2>you know, I've always wanted to be Steve Kerr for

1104
00:49:10.719 --> 00:49:12.440
<v Speaker 2>a weekend, but then I have to deal with all

1105
00:49:12.440 --> 00:49:14.039
<v Speaker 2>the crap that he has to deal with, right, all

1106
00:49:14.079 --> 00:49:16.599
<v Speaker 2>the players. And then I saw how you travel, and

1107
00:49:16.639 --> 00:49:19.119
<v Speaker 2>then you're you're a young dude, probably haven't made and

1108
00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:20.880
<v Speaker 2>I think, I think I want to be bench.

1109
00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:23.480
<v Speaker 4>On's for a weekend. What a life?

1110
00:49:24.679 --> 00:49:27.360
<v Speaker 20>Yeah, no, it's it's definitely a very interesting life. You know,

1111
00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:30.280
<v Speaker 20>the travel can get wearing. It's a very full schedule,

1112
00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:32.039
<v Speaker 20>but I try to keep it in perspective of you know,

1113
00:49:32.079 --> 00:49:33.719
<v Speaker 20>I get to go a lot of cool places, meet

1114
00:49:33.760 --> 00:49:35.679
<v Speaker 20>a lot of cool people, and I get to compete

1115
00:49:35.719 --> 00:49:39.480
<v Speaker 20>in a wonderful game for a living, which is pretty awesome.

1116
00:49:39.599 --> 00:49:42.199
<v Speaker 20>So there's there's so many potters. It's positives in it.

1117
00:49:42.239 --> 00:49:45.400
<v Speaker 20>And yeah there's there's you know, still training and you're

1118
00:49:45.679 --> 00:49:47.239
<v Speaker 20>you're trying to get better every day, which can be

1119
00:49:47.239 --> 00:49:48.960
<v Speaker 20>hard work, but it's also very rewarding.

1120
00:49:49.039 --> 00:49:51.920
<v Speaker 21>So yeah, a day in my life is hectic and

1121
00:49:51.960 --> 00:49:53.880
<v Speaker 21>busy and crazy, but it's also really fun.

1122
00:49:54.000 --> 00:49:55.519
<v Speaker 2>No, I know, I'll be prepared for a lot of

1123
00:49:55.519 --> 00:49:58.639
<v Speaker 2>selfies obviously, And good luck. Did you already play your

1124
00:49:58.639 --> 00:50:02.800
<v Speaker 2>first matches today? First one tomorrow, first one tomorrow? Okay,

1129
00:50:11.239 --> 00:50:14.679
<v Speaker 2>all right, good stuff, John. I think I even try

1130
00:50:14.719 --> 00:50:16.599
<v Speaker 2>to reach out to Tommy and says, why.

1131
00:50:16.400 --> 00:50:17.000
<v Speaker 4>Aren't you here?

1132
00:50:17.400 --> 00:50:21.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because it's a great venue. They built it up,

1133
00:50:21.599 --> 00:50:24.000
<v Speaker 2>looks nice. A lot of people there, some of the

1134
00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:26.599
<v Speaker 2>best pickleball players in the in the world here.

1135
00:50:26.960 --> 00:50:29.719
<v Speaker 4>No, you know, they do a great job. Yeah.

1136
00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:31.880
<v Speaker 2>This motor home that's like probably twice the size of

1137
00:50:31.960 --> 00:50:35.239
<v Speaker 2>twice my worth of my house is great, credible. And

1138
00:50:35.280 --> 00:50:39.039
<v Speaker 2>then there's an eighteen year old, the best female person

1139
00:50:39.320 --> 00:50:42.559
<v Speaker 2>playing and you've seen her motorhorn. Was like, holy crap,

1140
00:50:43.199 --> 00:50:45.800
<v Speaker 2>I said, I missed out. Should should have been a

1141
00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:48.000
<v Speaker 2>pick a ball player, Like I say, now, my my

1142
00:50:48.079 --> 00:50:50.960
<v Speaker 2>ankles would just be toast. Could you just hit it

1143
00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:55.800
<v Speaker 2>to me directly? Don't make me move here? That's why

1144
00:50:55.840 --> 00:50:57.280
<v Speaker 2>I played people on the way I play. I play

1145
00:50:57.360 --> 00:50:59.360
<v Speaker 2>on top of the table pretty much on top of it,

1146
00:50:59.360 --> 00:51:02.519
<v Speaker 2>and then don't side to side and play defense a lot.

1147
00:51:02.599 --> 00:51:04.719
<v Speaker 4>So you know, those are the good old days. How

1148
00:51:04.800 --> 00:51:05.320
<v Speaker 4>much time we have?

1149
00:51:05.400 --> 00:51:08.760
