22
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:12.760
<v Speaker 2>to talk to him about some of his time that

23
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 2>he's spent in Japan as a male model when he

28
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:29.879
<v Speaker 2>Nepo baby. There you go see three times. You're gonna

29
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:31.239
<v Speaker 2>have to explain what the hell that is to me.

30
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:33.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm too old for that. What is it? It's just

31
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:34.359
<v Speaker 2>me and you have famous parents?

32
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

33
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:36.519
<v Speaker 2>Is that what me? And the rest of your life

00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:39.239
<v Speaker 2>is easy? Walk? Okay, cool, Cool, We're on the air,

35
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.159
<v Speaker 2>which is great. Look at us. Yeah, Henry is good

36
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:44.319
<v Speaker 2>at this stuff. Good job. Henry could get him a job,

37
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.680
<v Speaker 2>we'd be fine. But he's going back to New York. Yeah,

38
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.519
<v Speaker 2>New York. They said that, right. I mean that it

39
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:52.879
<v Speaker 2>is like a New Jersey accident with the New York. No,

40
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:56.680
<v Speaker 2>it's like you've got like your you were supplanted in

41
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:58.879
<v Speaker 2>like Iowa for a little while and then you went

42
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.359
<v Speaker 2>back and it's like too long. It's got to be

43
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:04.400
<v Speaker 2>in and out. Yeah, okay, okay, never I'm not perfect. Well,

44
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:05.760
<v Speaker 2>good to see it, but maybe you want to call

45
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.319
<v Speaker 2>you can five two zero four one six seventy four forty.

46
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.719
<v Speaker 2>It's funny. After the show yesterday, Blake, someone texted me.

47
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 2>Whatever our listeners, he says, please don't bring Blake back

48
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 2>on kind of I read that. Well, let me finish.

49
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.400
<v Speaker 2>My god, he says. I've been listening for the last

50
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 2>thirty minutes, he said, And I didn't know who you

51
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:26.879
<v Speaker 2>were talking to. Yeah, And I said, well, it's Blake

52
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.639
<v Speaker 2>and he's been on that for a long time. I

53
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:31.319
<v Speaker 2>guess I need to explain who you are if you know.

54
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.479
<v Speaker 2>And again I don't know. I mean, I'd rather fly

55
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 2>under the radar. I don't get all the negative publicity.

56
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:38.719
<v Speaker 2>You've come to the right place. We fly under the radar.

57
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.759
<v Speaker 2>We're only on We're only on the radio. Nobody listens.

58
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:45.360
<v Speaker 2>Don't worry about it. So no cool. I think it's

59
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 2>gonna be a fun show today, informative for nil reasons

60
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.039
<v Speaker 2>and local sports reasons with Kim and Ray and yourself,

61
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.120
<v Speaker 2>and then some have some fun on the other end

62
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.680
<v Speaker 2>of the four o'clock hour. So good, good, good Anything

63
00:02:57.719 --> 00:02:59.960
<v Speaker 2>happened the last twenty four hours since I saw you last.

64
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:03.159
<v Speaker 2>I see more than I see most, which, yeah, that's

65
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:04.960
<v Speaker 2>a good thing. No, I mean not much. We're working

66
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.159
<v Speaker 2>on some things behind the scenes for film, trying to

67
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:09.240
<v Speaker 2>bring here. So I know I always tease things on

68
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:13.080
<v Speaker 2>this show. But hopefully the next couple a couple of weeks,

69
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:14.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm able to announce. I know how those things go

70
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:17.479

<v Speaker 2>this is what's going on. The lasted too long. It

75
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 2>is like courting somebody. How are you doing. I'm okay,

<v Speaker 2>wants to get into the tour in November, now is

80
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:48.080
<v Speaker 2>the time to get in for a relatively well the

81
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:50.560
<v Speaker 2>cheapest price that you'll get into it. You know, really,

82
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:52.960
<v Speaker 2>I see relatively because if you wait two months you'll

83
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:54.840
<v Speaker 2>have to pay more than two hundred dollars. It's almost

84
00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:00.280
<v Speaker 2>double right, Yeah, get it now. Yeah, okay, so we'll see.

86
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.240
<v Speaker 2>in about ten to fifteen minutes, so that'll be good.

87
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:09.360
<v Speaker 2>Did you see a women's basketball team you They is

88
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 2>picking up more. Yeah, she's doing Coach Burke's doing a

89
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:14.840
<v Speaker 2>good job. Again. Well that's that's the funny thing. You

90
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.040
<v Speaker 2>know how panic is, Oh she dumped me on there?

91
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:19.879
<v Speaker 2>Or see anybody again? And by the way, you find

92
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:22.399
<v Speaker 2>somebody to move on this. They worried about who they

93
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:25.680
<v Speaker 2>were going to get. They found somebody pretty good. They're

94
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.480
<v Speaker 2>worried about the roster. Just what they're filling the roster.

95
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Assistant coaches. Yeah, right when we closed the door yesterday, Yeah,

96
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.959
<v Speaker 2>we heard that Julie Brosey was going to be one

97
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.560
<v Speaker 2>of the assistants. Yeah, hit the ground running. I remember,

98
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.120
<v Speaker 2>go ahead, are your right a little older? She's a

99
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.959
<v Speaker 2>little older, okay, yeah, okay, yeah, but I know I

100
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.639
<v Speaker 2>know that family from Kelleen Foothills, and yeah, there's some

101
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.279
<v Speaker 2>connection there, a great family. I mean, obviously pedigree, whys

102
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.360
<v Speaker 2>game you can get better than that. But this couple

103
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:56.279
<v Speaker 2>of years ago, I think I called Allie far Haaning

104
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.279
<v Speaker 2>because I was freaking out about the transfer portal and

105
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.439
<v Speaker 2>Tommy Lloyd and he's like, just oh before before I

106
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:04.360
<v Speaker 2>was just like he was just like relaxed, like they're

107
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.800
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna figure it out. Yeah, yeah, okay, But I'm

108
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:09.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm one of those fans that immediately starts panicking. Like

109
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:11.360
<v Speaker 2>when Basar went in the portal, I was like, is

110
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:16.600
<v Speaker 2>it it's over a collapsing him crying in a fetal position. Yeah, yeah, No,

111
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:19.720
<v Speaker 2>there's always more. This university, in this basketball program has

112
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:22.160
<v Speaker 2>been on a long time. Yeah. And how many times

113
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:25.000
<v Speaker 2>in your lifetime forty year, forty two? Uh, that'll get

114
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.079
<v Speaker 2>us back to what nineteen eighty three ish, that's what

115
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:31.959
<v Speaker 2>showed up, I think, Yeah, so eighty fourty three four.

116
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.319
<v Speaker 2>So how many times in that forty two year stretch

117
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.560
<v Speaker 2>have you said this team sucks? Not many? Not many?

118
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that first year, maybe that first year, his first year,

119
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.079
<v Speaker 2>because it was they were recovering from four to twenty four.

120
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:46.600
<v Speaker 2>But you can see at the end of that year

121
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:48.839
<v Speaker 2>that they were gonna get good. Yeah, and then there

122
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.399
<v Speaker 2>haven't been maybe twice, and I would beg to ask

123
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:55.040
<v Speaker 2>you which was the other year? Oh no, no, But

124
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:57.120
<v Speaker 2>even when they had done lap and penal. They went

125
00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.800
<v Speaker 2>to the sweet sixteen. You know the NBA guys on

126
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:03.600
<v Speaker 2>that team, right, Yeah, So it's you know, it's forty

127
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:07.160
<v Speaker 2>two years of run is pretty good. Another second last

128
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 2>oh maybe his first year, maybe his first year, but

129
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:12.079
<v Speaker 2>he went to twelve and twelve. He went to twelve

130
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:14.920
<v Speaker 2>the second last year, maybe because it was kind of

131
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:18.160
<v Speaker 2>like filled with controversy. Yeah, it's just a lot of

132
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:22.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, okay, this team maybe okay, two or three,

133
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.399
<v Speaker 2>but forty two years that's pretty damn good. That's that's

134
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:27.959
<v Speaker 2>a really good Listen. We talked about all the time.

135
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:31.000
<v Speaker 2>We're very fortunate as a fan base. Uh. And then

136
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.639
<v Speaker 2>the women's golf team won the big tournament, Yeah, tournament

137
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:37.000
<v Speaker 2>with just what a new coach, A new coach, Yeah,

138
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:40.040
<v Speaker 2>because the other one was swiped away from Texas. Yeah,

139
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:43.680
<v Speaker 2>I meant content took him from here. It seems. It's

140
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.160
<v Speaker 2>funny how well the Conte is the new aight to

141
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.879
<v Speaker 2>that new ad, he's the idea of Texas formerly assistant

142
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:51.360
<v Speaker 2>here under Jim Levon. Good how they take a lot

143
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:54.759
<v Speaker 2>of the Arizona. It's fun out of it. It's a

144
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.879
<v Speaker 2>it's a it's similar to like an NFL family or

145
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.160
<v Speaker 2>a coaching tree right where you you you know what

146
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:01.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, and you're comfortable with what you know, and

147
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:04.480
<v Speaker 2>you know the product and it shows that there's talent

148
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:07.480
<v Speaker 2>and Theresa and I say that because he took well,

149
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:10.000
<v Speaker 2>he hired Sean Miller, obviously a long time guy here

150
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:12.560
<v Speaker 2>and then the you know, she was the coach here

151
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.160
<v Speaker 2>and she's now at Texas. So yeah, yeah, I got

152
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.959
<v Speaker 2>to get to get the news of golf coach on

153
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:21.720
<v Speaker 2>she's from Mexico, obviously a very good one. Yeah. You

154
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:25.040
<v Speaker 2>know what a life to be a golf coach. Yeah,

155
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:27.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean you spend your day on one of some

156
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.639
<v Speaker 2>of the best golf courses in the world, right and say, hey,

157
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.600
<v Speaker 2>that swing, it's just a little to the right, You're good. Yeah,

158
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.279
<v Speaker 2>and you know, like so for me. So you get

159
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:38.759
<v Speaker 2>to that level, right, in that collegiate level, all those

160
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:41.480
<v Speaker 2>players have their own personal swing coaches, right, because it's

161
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:43.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to say a country club sport, but

162
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.360
<v Speaker 2>it's it's in that same run. Yeah. So as a coach,

163
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.439
<v Speaker 2>you're really just trying to maintain a focus level, right,

164
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:52.199
<v Speaker 2>a mentality and a work ethic. You don't you don't

165
00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:54.839
<v Speaker 2>really want to talk about swings. It's like a big

166
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:56.680
<v Speaker 2>league hitter is a big lead of Most of those

167
00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:59.839
<v Speaker 2>guys have personal swing coaches. So you've got like Kevin Long,

168
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:02.040
<v Speaker 2>who one of the greatest hitting coaches of all time,

169
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.120
<v Speaker 2>not even arguable. Uh, you've a guy right. Uh when

170
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:09.120
<v Speaker 2>you talk to him, he's like, yeah, I don't, I don't.

171
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:10.839
<v Speaker 2>I just don't want to mess them up. Right, you're

172
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:13.399
<v Speaker 2>trying to work on maybe rhythm timing, but not really

173
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.959
<v Speaker 2>mechanical fix So so no so coaching because you've done

174
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:20.199
<v Speaker 2>this managing as well, right, both Well, okay, so tell

175
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.319
<v Speaker 2>me what does a manager do? Uh, because you're not coaching.

176
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.759
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you are coaching, but even coaching at that level,

177
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:28.720
<v Speaker 2>they already know what the hell they're doing. They're good

178
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:30.639
<v Speaker 2>at what they do. So what's that. It's more of

179
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.320
<v Speaker 2>a lineup dealing with the management dealing what is it

180
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:35.200
<v Speaker 2>you're you're you're dealing with a couple of different things,

181
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:38.840
<v Speaker 2>right what Uh? What your game plan is? Right, You're

182
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:42.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna have abc D depending on how the game flow goes. Uh,

183
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:45.039
<v Speaker 2>You're dealing with player personalities because that really needs to

184
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:46.840
<v Speaker 2>come from the mature. I understand that you're going to

185
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:48.960
<v Speaker 2>have some clubhouse vets that take care of a lot

186
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:50.600
<v Speaker 2>of that stuff. But when it gets to a point,

187
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:53.279
<v Speaker 2>you've got to control that and then setting the example

188
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:55.840
<v Speaker 2>for the season and maintaining that example no matter whether

189
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:58.240
<v Speaker 2>it's well, wait, give me an example. So you're so

190
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:00.799
<v Speaker 2>from a baseball standpoint, you're going to training, right, your

191
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:02.840
<v Speaker 2>game plan has been done for the last six months.

192
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:04.799
<v Speaker 2>This is how you're going to execute. You have an

193
00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:06.559
<v Speaker 2>idea of who that roster is going to shake out,

194
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:08.240
<v Speaker 2>and there's maybe two to four spots that you need

195
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:11.000
<v Speaker 2>to fill. And then once that happens, you have to

196
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.759
<v Speaker 2>make sure that everybody in that clubhouse is bought in,

197
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.240
<v Speaker 2>no matter what happens on that same page. And then

198
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.240
<v Speaker 2>you're imagining game flow. Right, you're getting your assistant coaches,

199
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:21.360
<v Speaker 2>whether it's a pitching coach, whether it's hitting coach. This

200
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:24.759
<v Speaker 2>situation comes up, you already have two plans, right, They're

201
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:26.399
<v Speaker 2>gonna bring this guy in, I'm gonna have this guy

202
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:28.559
<v Speaker 2>ready to hit. This guy comes up, I'm gonna have

203
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.399
<v Speaker 2>this guy pitch. So it's really just game flow. You're

204
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.960
<v Speaker 2>not trying to really get involved. You should not be

205
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:38.000
<v Speaker 2>involved on their personal mechanics, like their game thoughts is

206
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:39.840
<v Speaker 2>that the coach is just that's really the pitching coach.

207
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:42.879
<v Speaker 2>You're you're, you're, you know, you're you're empowering those the

208
00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:45.240
<v Speaker 2>pitching coach, the hitting coach, the bench coach, those guys

209
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:47.799
<v Speaker 2>should be taking that. So so kind of like the

210
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:51.639
<v Speaker 2>assistant coaches here to a degree, uh, the the pitching

211
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:54.080
<v Speaker 2>coach to the betting coach and any other coaches. Listen,

212
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.720
<v Speaker 2>you know whatever body's running. Coaches our closer probably to

213
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:59.279
<v Speaker 2>the players than the manager is, yeah, I think to

214
00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:01.399
<v Speaker 2>some degree, right, I mean don't deal with them day

215
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:01.679
<v Speaker 2>to day.

216
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:01.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

217
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:03.879
<v Speaker 2>And then you're trying in college and pros a little

218
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.279
<v Speaker 2>bit different, right, because you have to go from a

219
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.639
<v Speaker 2>recruiting standpoint, so you have to build this trust factor

220
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.240
<v Speaker 2>now when kids are maybe thirteen or fourteen. Uh, and

221
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:16.279
<v Speaker 2>then you have to maintain that throughout. So there's personality

222
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.559
<v Speaker 2>traits and you're gonna divvy up in coaches meetings. You're

223
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:21.399
<v Speaker 2>gonna say, Steve, you're closer with these three guys. I

224
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:23.200
<v Speaker 2>want you to stay with these three guys. I'm gonna

225
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:25.159
<v Speaker 2>take that fourth guy. And I know it's not yours,

226
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:27.039
<v Speaker 2>but I'm gonna take that fourth guy because I know

227
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:29.360
<v Speaker 2>that guy's personality. I recruited him since he's fourteen. I

228
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:31.639
<v Speaker 2>know the parents, I know where they come from. So

229
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:34.360
<v Speaker 2>you just have to identify those personality traits. At the

230
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:37.440
<v Speaker 2>professional level, that manager has to deal with, a front

231
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:39.279
<v Speaker 2>office has to deal with, a GM has to deal

232
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:42.759
<v Speaker 2>with ownership, the president. Like that's the go between, right

233
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:45.159
<v Speaker 2>where a lot of times you're asking managers, why do

234
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:46.960
<v Speaker 2>you make that decision? Or why is this guy playing?

235
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:50.639
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes his hands are you know, his handcuffs Jerry Jillson

236
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:53.320
<v Speaker 2>and Jerry Jones into it. Yeah, you're looking at Billy Bean, right,

237
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:55.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean he I mean he had to prove in

238
00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:57.399
<v Speaker 2>Oakland that he's the one that's making those decisions really

239
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:01.000
<v Speaker 2>not the manager anymore. Right, No, No, it's spot. The

240
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.039
<v Speaker 2>thing is, they make tons of money to deal with that.

241
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:06.480
<v Speaker 2>It's a good problem to have, right, I mean, would

242
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:08.120
<v Speaker 2>you rather wake up at three am and go to

243
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:09.960
<v Speaker 2>a coal mining job or would you rather be on

244
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:12.120
<v Speaker 2>the greatest golf courses in the world and just making

245
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:13.879
<v Speaker 2>sure guys are doing their best. I'll get back to

246
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.559
<v Speaker 2>you on that one. Yeah, yeah, no, but I think

247
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.559
<v Speaker 2>that same applies and the reason why I'm having this

248
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:20.320
<v Speaker 2>conversation with you. It applies to a lot of the

249
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:23.480
<v Speaker 2>levels even here, because the coach has to deal with stuff.

250
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:25.720
<v Speaker 2>He probably puts a roster together, right, and then he

251
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:28.320
<v Speaker 2>has the assistant coaches actually working up and coaching to

252
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.720
<v Speaker 2>a degree is not okay. You put your feet here,

253
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.480
<v Speaker 2>your arms here, and the guys already know all that stuff.

254
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:35.879
<v Speaker 2>They're already good at that. That's why you recruited them, right.

255
00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:38.600
<v Speaker 2>You just don't want to screw them up unless it's

256
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:41.440
<v Speaker 2>drastically bad. You want to kind of figure their mechanics out.

257
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:44.200
<v Speaker 2>But you need the kid and you and it's more

258
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:48.480
<v Speaker 2>of a mental coaching than it is physical coaching. Yeah. Yeah,

259
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:50.720
<v Speaker 2>So let me give you a scenario, like how often

260
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:55.320
<v Speaker 2>you've shown up to work and said the show that

261
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:58.679
<v Speaker 2>I do today could either end my career or further

262
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:00.960
<v Speaker 2>my career. Like how often does that happen on a

263
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:04.279
<v Speaker 2>day and day out basis for you? Twice a year? Maybe? Okay.

264
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:06.440
<v Speaker 2>So those guys when they ride a lineup or they're

265
00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:09.080
<v Speaker 2>making decisions on who that's starting five is or football

266
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.399
<v Speaker 2>starting eleven, whatever it is, that's their livelihood, especially in football,

267
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:15.639
<v Speaker 2>right because you don't get so many games, so that

268
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:18.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of. I think that kind of stress level going

269
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:20.840
<v Speaker 2>into that position doesn't allow for a lot of those

270
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.600
<v Speaker 2>coaches to get creative as some other people would. So

271
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:28.000
<v Speaker 2>the outside looking in, or we call it backseat quarterback,

272
00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:30.919
<v Speaker 2>isn't always on the front of their mind because every

273
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:32.879
<v Speaker 2>time they put a lineup in or they put they

274
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:35.360
<v Speaker 2>put a lineup on that field, that could be the

275
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:38.360
<v Speaker 2>end of their career or it could further along their career. Right,

276
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:40.159
<v Speaker 2>that's a lot of stress. Okay, we'll talk more about

277
00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:42.240
<v Speaker 2>that later. Let's go on to take a break here,

00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:32.960

<v Speaker 2>called Eric at Dorato Rock. He found out the amount

296
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.799

<v Speaker 2>you for about maybe seven minutes and then get ready

394
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:18.920
<v Speaker 2>on as well, is the big nil move that you

395
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:21.960
<v Speaker 2>guys are doing to help the University of Arizona. Can

396
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:23.680
<v Speaker 2>you kind of explain that to the listeners?

397
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:27.200
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, and it's not just in IL, it's really just

398
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:30.799
<v Speaker 9>to help student athlete programs generally for the University of Arizona,

399
00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:35.160
<v Speaker 9>and you know, the landscape of college athletics has really changes,

400
00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:38.359
<v Speaker 9>of course the last few years, and we want to

401
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:41.480
<v Speaker 9>support and help one of our biggest partners, you know,

402
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:44.559
<v Speaker 9>at the Snookgog Arizona ball which is the University of Arizona.

403
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:48.400
<v Speaker 9>They are so important to this entire community. So when

404
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:50.359
<v Speaker 9>we were trying to think about how we could add

405
00:18:54.279 --> 00:18:56.720
<v Speaker 9>and you'll talk to him, I'm sure about that shortly,

406
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:00.759
<v Speaker 9>and then we kind of jumped into really start hosting

407
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:04.880
<v Speaker 9>fifty to fifty raffles to support student athlete programs and

408
00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:06.799
<v Speaker 9>scholarships at the University of Arizona.

409
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:11.079
<v Speaker 2>Kim, you know, you and I for this conversation, and

410
00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:13.400
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't be where I'm at without you. So I'm

411
00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:15.640
<v Speaker 2>grateful for everything you do for the that's Kim, That's

412
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:16.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm being honest.

413
00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:17.240
<v Speaker 9>You give me way too much.

414
00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:20.319
<v Speaker 2>That's not true, way too much credit, not only from

415
00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:23.799
<v Speaker 2>a mentor standpoint, just from just an overall perspective in life.

416
00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:27.920
<v Speaker 2>But you're always at the forefront of change and positive change.

417
00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:31.400
<v Speaker 2>How did this come about? And can you just take

418
00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:33.200
<v Speaker 2>us through kind of the process and the steps of

419
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:34.640
<v Speaker 2>from start to finish.

420
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:38.720
<v Speaker 9>Sure, And you know, I can't take credit for a

421
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:42.000
<v Speaker 9>great ideas. You know that I didn't come up with.

422
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:47.640
<v Speaker 9>This was the brainchild of Race Flaores and you know,

423
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:50.279
<v Speaker 9>wanting to help and support the University of Arizona and

424
00:19:50.440 --> 00:19:53.759
<v Speaker 9>knowing that here at the Newdog Arizona Ble, we have

425
00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:57.880
<v Speaker 9>the same types of you know, commitments, and he had

426
00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:00.839
<v Speaker 9>this idea. We've done fifty fifty rapples at our kickoff

427
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:02.920
<v Speaker 9>luncheons and at the snow Jog Arizona bull for the

428
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:05.799
<v Speaker 9>last few years, and we thought, why can't we be

429
00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:09.119
<v Speaker 9>doing this to also support student athlete programs at the

430
00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:12.440
<v Speaker 9>University of Arizona. I mean, they have a fine night

431
00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:16.759
<v Speaker 9>you know wallet there to help support these athletes, and

432
00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:21.079
<v Speaker 9>it's getting more and more difficult to do that. So

433
00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:23.400
<v Speaker 9>he thought this might be a really good way for

434
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:26.319
<v Speaker 9>us to make an impact. Yeah, make it a win

435
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:28.759
<v Speaker 9>win for the whole community. You win half the plot

436
00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:31.960
<v Speaker 9>and then the other half goes to support the student athletes.

437
00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Right right, Because you know, the one question I get

438
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:36.359
<v Speaker 2>a lot with nil and I don't have any of

439
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:38.960
<v Speaker 2>the answers because I'm just me, is where does the

440
00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:41.799
<v Speaker 2>money go? Who gets it, who benefits. And I used

441
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:43.799
<v Speaker 2>to just say call you of A and they'll help you.

442
00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:46.839
<v Speaker 2>So this at least you know, you know that if

443
00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:49.480
<v Speaker 2>you spend five, ten, twenty dollars whatever, they know they

444
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:51.720
<v Speaker 2>have a chance of getting some back or if they

445
00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:55.880
<v Speaker 2>win it. And then helping the kids exactly exactly.

446
00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:01.039
<v Speaker 9>I think sometimes you know, in the in the climate

447
00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:04.920
<v Speaker 9>of college athletics, there's a lot of asks like hey,

448
00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:06.880
<v Speaker 9>write a check for this or help us with yes,

449
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:09.319
<v Speaker 9>and there's and it's sort of like you see that

450
00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:11.480
<v Speaker 9>money and it kind of goes away. At least in

451
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:15.359
<v Speaker 9>this instance, there's an opportunity to actually, you know, win

452
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:19.200
<v Speaker 9>some big pots over the course of the year and

453
00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:22.000
<v Speaker 9>you know, get some of that money back in your pocket.

454
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:24.839
<v Speaker 9>Well at the same time helping student athletes and so

455
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:26.599
<v Speaker 9>I think it's really a win.

456
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:27.359
<v Speaker 2>Win for everyone.

457
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:31.799
<v Speaker 9>And it's a creative way to try to attack this

458
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:36.599
<v Speaker 9>problem and while bringing together, you know, partners within the

459
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:37.720
<v Speaker 9>community to make it happen.

460
00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:40.720
<v Speaker 2>One of the things that you guys have done so

461
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:43.319
<v Speaker 2>phenomenal over the years, and that's that's going from the

462
00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:47.799
<v Speaker 2>Nova home loans to barstool to now Snoop Dogg. But

463
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:50.640
<v Speaker 2>can you kind of update the public on how much

464
00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:53.160
<v Speaker 2>you've given back from a financial standpoint and to the

465
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:54.519
<v Speaker 2>communities and nonprofits.

466
00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:59.720
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, so, we are actually celebrating our tenth anniversary this

467
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:04.519
<v Speaker 9>and so in those ten years we've given back, I

468
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:07.839
<v Speaker 9>think the number is close to five million dollars to charity,

469
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:11.480
<v Speaker 9>and that's a number we're really proud of. We want

470
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:15.559
<v Speaker 9>to continue to make an impact here locally with our

471
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.880
<v Speaker 9>charitable giving so that we can support those that are

472
00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:22.000
<v Speaker 9>making such great strides in our community and helping our

473
00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:24.880
<v Speaker 9>friends and neighbors with some of the difficult challenges in

474
00:22:24.920 --> 00:22:26.920
<v Speaker 9>their lives. And it's sort of you know, it's a

475
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:32.000
<v Speaker 9>real pleasure to be able to work hard on an

476
00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:35.480
<v Speaker 9>event like the Snoop Dog Arizonable every year knowing that

477
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:38.480
<v Speaker 9>when it's over, the best part of the actually happens

478
00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:41.680
<v Speaker 9>in my right checks out to charity. And in fact,

479
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:46.039
<v Speaker 9>our charitable grant application is now live on our website

480
00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:51.119
<v Speaker 9>at the Arizona bl dot com and people nonprofits can

481
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:54.839
<v Speaker 9>go there and apply for our charitable grants this year.

482
00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:57.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So I think I've been to the check presentation

483
00:22:57.519 --> 00:23:00.240
<v Speaker 2>of time or two to do a story or too. U.

484
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:03.240
<v Speaker 2>There's no question that they appreciate anything, right, and you

485
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:07.079
<v Speaker 2>give them significant amounts of money to help support their causes,

486
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:09.759
<v Speaker 2>which of course again they're they're very grateful for even

487
00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:11.920
<v Speaker 2>when you give them the checks, right, Kim, you can

488
00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:13.880
<v Speaker 2>see that the smiles and the happiness.

489
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:18.839
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, it's like it's the best. I mean, it's really

490
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:21.200
<v Speaker 9>why we do. What we do is to make this

491
00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:25.880
<v Speaker 9>impact on our community and be good, you know, citizens

492
00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:29.720
<v Speaker 9>of Southern Arizona. It's when we get that chance to

493
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:33.599
<v Speaker 9>be able to have those big, large ceremonial checks and

494
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:36.920
<v Speaker 9>hand them and take pictures with the charity, and then

495
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:39.920
<v Speaker 9>knowing that they're going to take the real checks home

496
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:44.160
<v Speaker 9>to make an impact here with our friends and neighbors.

497
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:45.519
<v Speaker 9>It's just it's awesome.

498
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:48.920
<v Speaker 2>That's the best job in the world for the sake

499
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:51.519
<v Speaker 2>of equality. We're going to get a hold of Ray

500
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:53.160
<v Speaker 2>after we talk to you in about three minutes, right,

501
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:55.839
<v Speaker 2>We've got them in oother three minutes. So I assume

502
00:23:56.000 --> 00:24:00.160
<v Speaker 2>what your four months removed from Snoop Dogg Bowl. I'm

503
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:02.880

<v Speaker 9>few days with our Bold colleagues at our annual Bull

507
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:16.880
<v Speaker 9>Season Conference. We got shared a lot of great ideas,

508
00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:19.799
<v Speaker 9>learned a lot of great ideas and are really excited

509
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:25.000
<v Speaker 9>to come back and even you know, even increasing excitement

510
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:29.000
<v Speaker 9>and innovation around this year's game. We've got a lot

512
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:35.240
<v Speaker 9>be more involved in the planning. He really had a

513
00:24:35.319 --> 00:24:37.839
<v Speaker 9>great experience when he was here with us a few

514
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:40.799
<v Speaker 9>months ago, and we're excited to see what the future. Burum.

00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:08.000
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, So really, the next big thing that we will

524
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:12.519
<v Speaker 9>for all of our volunteers that have supported us this year.

525
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:15.160
<v Speaker 9>That's a big deal. But for the public, it's our

526
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:18.799
<v Speaker 9>kickoff lunch and which will happen in October, and you know,

527
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:21.880
<v Speaker 9>that's when we really start gearing up again for all

528
00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:23.680
<v Speaker 9>of the events that happened at the end of the

529
00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:27.400
<v Speaker 9>year around the game, and people can you know, start

530
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:32.519
<v Speaker 9>signing up to be involved and help us make this

531
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:35.440
<v Speaker 9>a reality again this year. And so it's just the planning.

532
00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:38.440
<v Speaker 9>But that's the next big event that we'll have. And

533
00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:42.400
<v Speaker 9>of course before that, you know, sometime in June or

534
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:44.960
<v Speaker 9>July will be you know, handing out some big checks

535
00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:48.480
<v Speaker 9>to charities again. So you know, we've got to to

536
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:49.400
<v Speaker 9>list forward too as well.

537
00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:51.519
<v Speaker 2>So this and I al think we'll go back to

538
00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:54.519
<v Speaker 2>it one last time before we leave kind of reminds

539
00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:56.359
<v Speaker 2>me of the Result Bowl in as much as you

540
00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:58.440
<v Speaker 2>guys are the like the little bowl that can right

541
00:25:58.519 --> 00:26:00.720
<v Speaker 2>or could, and you guys have to come out think

542
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:03.880
<v Speaker 2>out of the box. You're in Tucson, little Tucson, and

543
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:05.960
<v Speaker 2>you have to come up with ideas how to make

544
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:07.880
<v Speaker 2>this happen and keep it surviving.

545
00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:12.680
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, we're scrappy, you know, and I say that with

546
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:16.680
<v Speaker 9>full pride. I mean we have to be. Complacency is

547
00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:20.240
<v Speaker 9>not a word that we believe in. And we have

548
00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:23.480
<v Speaker 9>never felt like we had the opportunity to be complacent

549
00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:27.640
<v Speaker 9>or comfortable. We're always looking to be better every year

550
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:30.000
<v Speaker 9>so that we can do more for our community. And

551
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:33.000
<v Speaker 9>so yeah, we're scrappy and keep looking really hard to

552
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:35.920
<v Speaker 9>come up with some fun ideas every year and keep

553
00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:39.799
<v Speaker 9>our community involved and excited about what we're doing, and

554
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:44.000
<v Speaker 9>then bring in those fans who are going to spend

555
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:46.880
<v Speaker 9>money here in southern Arizona and support our restaurants and

556
00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:48.839
<v Speaker 9>businesses and help us get back to charity.

557
00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:52.799
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Kim, thanks a bunch, Kim. I've got one serious question.

558
00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:56.000
<v Speaker 2>So I mean we're on the air, you can you

559
00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:00.200
<v Speaker 2>can ask it honestly or I answered honestly. Now, every

560
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:02.440
<v Speaker 2>office pool we get into and I get into him

561
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:05.519
<v Speaker 2>always in first place until the last day, and somehow

562
00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:09.119
<v Speaker 2>I lose Is it rigged? Is our office pools rigged?

563
00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:09.680
<v Speaker 3>Is it just me?

564
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Do I need to find a different office space? Are

565
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:12.319
<v Speaker 2>we still okay?

566
00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:17.599
<v Speaker 9>Blake? If you look at that, you're in first place,

567
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:18.880
<v Speaker 9>I'm always in last.

568
00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:22.119
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, it was, it would a little differently.

569
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:27.200
<v Speaker 2>That's a good point, all right, my friend. And I

570
00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:28.799
<v Speaker 2>guess I have it too because now he's one of

571
00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:32.519
<v Speaker 2>my partners here. Yeah, and Steve keeps. Thanks for telling

572
00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:38.759
<v Speaker 2>me now, thank you, Kim, appreciate it all right, thank you. Yes, yes,

573
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:40.359
<v Speaker 2>we're going to get a call here from Ray. I

574
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:42.359
<v Speaker 2>think any moment now that was that was nice to

575
00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:44.400
<v Speaker 2>talk to Kim. But we got right Ray. Are you there?

576
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:47.200
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, yeah, I'm here right, Ray.

577
00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Good. We just obviously I spoke to Kim. Let me

578
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:51.960
<v Speaker 2>ask you something. When you started this thing, you talked

579
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:55.920
<v Speaker 2>to me, I think maybe ten months ago, nine months ago.

580
00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:57.839
<v Speaker 2>You came up with this idea. You said to me,

581
00:27:57.880 --> 00:27:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I said, what a fantastic idea, and you said, well,

582
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:02.079
<v Speaker 2>you gotta go through a lot of hoops. How was

583
00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:05.400
<v Speaker 2>it getting to this point? Actually?

584
00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:10.160
<v Speaker 10>I started this almost two years ago in just trying

585
00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:14.359
<v Speaker 10>to put together an idea to be you know, professional,

586
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:16.400
<v Speaker 10>because the professionals, I'll do it. You know, you go

587
00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:18.559
<v Speaker 10>to an MLB game, Oh yeah, you go to you

588
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:20.039
<v Speaker 10>know a lot of the professional sport and they're in

589
00:28:20.119 --> 00:28:21.680
<v Speaker 10>there there and I'm like, well, why can't we do it?

590
00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:25.240
<v Speaker 10>And then I had seen that ASU and the Sun

591
00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:28.319
<v Speaker 10>Devil Foundation or whatever they are, had one for a while.

592
00:28:28.839 --> 00:28:30.440
<v Speaker 10>I don't know what happened to theirs or not, but

593
00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:35.079
<v Speaker 10>I think there was just you know, the the unknown

594
00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:38.400
<v Speaker 10>about the gaming laws, the responsibilities of where and what,

595
00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:40.960
<v Speaker 10>and the and the need to have a really sophisticated

596
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:45.279
<v Speaker 10>nonprofit partner to make this work, one that's goals and

597
00:28:46.119 --> 00:28:49.160
<v Speaker 10>charter were aligned with the concept and and we're just

598
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:51.240
<v Speaker 10>really fortunate that we have that with the Arizona Bowl

599
00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:53.640
<v Speaker 10>team here. I mean, you know, it's a hard act

600
00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:55.880
<v Speaker 10>to follow Kim Madera on a phone call like this

601
00:28:56.039 --> 00:28:59.000
<v Speaker 10>because she just they just do. They're doing so much

602
00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:03.880
<v Speaker 10>good sports in this community and education and whatnot. I mean,

603
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:06.119
<v Speaker 10>they do the teacher awards every year. I've know, I

604
00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:09.799
<v Speaker 10>personally have had been involved when they've given awards to teachers.

605
00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:12.519
<v Speaker 10>So doing good for the community. And then you know,

606
00:29:13.359 --> 00:29:15.480
<v Speaker 10>you guys know I had sports tars in my background.

607
00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:18.119
<v Speaker 10>We play sports on our TVs. Hoors Fars went through

608
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:20.319
<v Speaker 10>this kind of dip you know where everybody, you know,

609
00:29:20.359 --> 00:29:23.079
<v Speaker 10>when Direct TV and Dish were competing and everybody could

610
00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:25.000
<v Speaker 10>get them at home, and they were they were giving

611
00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:27.359
<v Speaker 10>free Direct TV out to people that signed up, and

612
00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:29.319
<v Speaker 10>all of a sudden, you know, you have all these

613
00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:31.799
<v Speaker 10>TVs and like we had bars full of TVs and

614
00:29:31.880 --> 00:29:34.839
<v Speaker 10>they weren't that important anymore. Hors fars took a hit

615
00:29:35.039 --> 00:29:38.799
<v Speaker 10>for a while. Now all of a sudden gamifying sports

616
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:41.000
<v Speaker 10>with everybody betting on apps and all that, and I'm

617
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:43.440
<v Speaker 10>not I'm not weighing in on what that means. But

618
00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:46.799
<v Speaker 10>let's face it, a lot of people, you know, bet

619
00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:49.720
<v Speaker 10>on sports and it's growing every day all of a sudden.

620
00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:52.480
<v Speaker 10>You know, those kind of things like game offying sports

621
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:55.880
<v Speaker 10>is an important part of the experience. So just think

622
00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:57.519
<v Speaker 10>now when you go to a U of A game

623
00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:00.200
<v Speaker 10>where if you're involved with U of A athletics, there's

624
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:02.559
<v Speaker 10>a gamification to this that actually could win some money

625
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:05.079
<v Speaker 10>and actually could do some good. I think that's the

626
00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:07.319
<v Speaker 10>benefit of it, all right, Like somebody's gonna be well,

627
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:09.200
<v Speaker 10>somebody's gonna win money, and the other part of the

628
00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:11.599
<v Speaker 10>money's gonna go do some good. There's no loser in

629
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:14.440
<v Speaker 10>that in that, unlike betting on you know, a DraftKings

630
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:16.599
<v Speaker 10>or something where you're definitely gonna lose money if you

631
00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:18.599
<v Speaker 10>don't win, and you're not gonna know anybody else it

632
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:20.799
<v Speaker 10>does that goal goal goes to a private company and

633
00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:23.920
<v Speaker 10>not to the athletes. This is going to a good cause.

634
00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:26.039
<v Speaker 10>It's game of fine for a for a purpose and

635
00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:29.160
<v Speaker 10>I'm really happy that it finally came together, and it

636
00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:31.720
<v Speaker 10>was a big chunk of it was the leadership of

637
00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:34.279
<v Speaker 10>the u of A identifying new models and new revenue

638
00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:37.839
<v Speaker 10>stream opportunities, and it just all married together and Kim's

639
00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:41.680
<v Speaker 10>nonprofit team and whatnot solved for the legality piece of it,

640
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:46.000
<v Speaker 10>we developed the software and the branding at all and Desiree,

641
00:30:46.160 --> 00:30:47.319
<v Speaker 10>Tony and the team at the u of A have

642
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:49.920
<v Speaker 10>been great. You know, it's gonna take some time to

643
00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:54.000
<v Speaker 10>build up team, but I mean probably probably, we're probably

644
00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:56.359
<v Speaker 10>looking at it could be an easy fifty to one

645
00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:58.960
<v Speaker 10>hundred thousand dollars a year that could come from this,

646
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:02.279
<v Speaker 10>just on the most minimum amount to the YouTube U

647
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:04.680
<v Speaker 10>of Athletics every year, just from what we're seeing already

648
00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:05.319
<v Speaker 10>in our first week.

649
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:08.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think Ray's true superpower is seeing like ten

650
00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:11.480
<v Speaker 2>steps in front of everybody else and then being able

651
00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:13.920
<v Speaker 2>to kind of understand what the tasks are ahead of

652
00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:16.519
<v Speaker 2>and getting the right people in the room. I raids Blake.

653
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:21.000
<v Speaker 10>I'm just I'm ten years younger than every older than everybody.

654
00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:21.960
<v Speaker 10>That's why that's not true.

655
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:22.799
<v Speaker 2>That's true.

656
00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:24.480
<v Speaker 10>I mean.

657
00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:28.039
<v Speaker 2>I was just thinking that maybe I know Ray from

658
00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:29.160
<v Speaker 2>the back of the day. I'm wondering if you're a

659
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:31.359
<v Speaker 2>pretty good book pool player, because if you play pool,

660
00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:33.240
<v Speaker 2>you're not shooting for the shot you get, You're shooting

661
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:34.079
<v Speaker 2>for the shot you want.

662
00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:37.160
<v Speaker 10>Still, my eyes went bad, you know. I mean I

663
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:39.079
<v Speaker 10>was a pretty decent pool I probably play poker better

664
00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:42.759
<v Speaker 10>now than I play pool. But no, I look, you know,

665
00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:45.279
<v Speaker 10>you look at what we're at right now, Steve. And

666
00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:47.759
<v Speaker 10>we've talked about this before too, Like if we only

667
00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:50.960
<v Speaker 10>had this team on before spring chaining left right, if

668
00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:52.480
<v Speaker 10>we had a Kim Adair in her role, we had

669
00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:54.880
<v Speaker 10>a Blake Eager in his role, if we had Cody

670
00:31:54.960 --> 00:31:57.559
<v Speaker 10>Ritchie established like he is now, Ali Farhank. I mean

671
00:31:57.640 --> 00:32:00.279
<v Speaker 10>some of these folks now that are putting these deals together, like,

672
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:02.279
<v Speaker 10>I don't know, man, we might add a really good

673
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:05.400
<v Speaker 10>shot of turning the turning the tides and keeping Spring

674
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:08.480
<v Speaker 10>training here now that we're fighting for our place in

675
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:11.799
<v Speaker 10>the sun amongst sports. I think unique applications like this,

676
00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:14.079
<v Speaker 10>like the bare down fifty to fifty go to Beardown

677
00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:16.720
<v Speaker 10>fifty fifty dot com. You know it's gonna be running.

678
00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:19.720
<v Speaker 10>You know, if the raffles are running, we're gonna stay

679
00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:23.359
<v Speaker 10>consistently running. Throughout the summer and whatnot, the Arizona Bowl,

680
00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:27.119
<v Speaker 10>the World Baseball Classic. You know, I just heard about

681
00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:29.640
<v Speaker 10>you know the it was in a visit Tucson meeting.

682
00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:32.039
<v Speaker 10>Heard about the Big Garment Race that could be, could

683
00:32:32.039 --> 00:32:34.640
<v Speaker 10>be a huge marathon coming to Tucson. So but again

684
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:38.000
<v Speaker 10>we're all connected now. Felipe and the visit Tooths on

685
00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:41.680
<v Speaker 10>Team Nicky, they work with Blake, Blake works with Kim,

686
00:32:41.839 --> 00:32:44.680
<v Speaker 10>Kim works with you know, Kevin at the Sugar Skills.

687
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:47.519
<v Speaker 10>Kim works with with you know are you know Hoffing

688
00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:50.240
<v Speaker 10>at the Bob at the at the Roadrunners. And then

689
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:52.440
<v Speaker 10>you've got guys like us in the private sector going, hey,

690
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:55.160
<v Speaker 10>we love this for our businesses. Let's figure out how

691
00:32:55.160 --> 00:32:57.440
<v Speaker 10>can we help. And then we bring Raymond Wabel to

692
00:32:57.519 --> 00:32:59.920
<v Speaker 10>the table, we bring the government to the table. If

693
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:01.799
<v Speaker 10>we had this kind of energy and the kind of

694
00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:05.200
<v Speaker 10>public and private commitment that we have today, back when

695
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:07.759
<v Speaker 10>Spring Training was waffling, I think I think we'd be

696
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:09.480
<v Speaker 10>in a better in a different light right now in

697
00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:13.960
<v Speaker 10>this town. But you know, there's hope and uh, there's progress.

698
00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:16.839
<v Speaker 10>So we need people like us doing what you're doing,

699
00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:20.200
<v Speaker 10>championing on the media, bringing awareness to people, because it's

700
00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:22.359
<v Speaker 10>hard to tell people the story right when your knee

701
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:23.000
<v Speaker 10>deep every day.

702
00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:25.079
<v Speaker 2>Right, So let me ask you, because thank you for

703
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:27.559
<v Speaker 2>doing of course, of course, all right, let me ask

704
00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:30.359
<v Speaker 2>you something. So so you give the website, let's talk

705
00:33:30.359 --> 00:33:32.759
<v Speaker 2>about that, and I have a quick question. So you're

706
00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:35.599
<v Speaker 2>doing it now. I think there's a drawing here soon too.

707
00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:37.279
<v Speaker 2>But is it just going to be if you're at

708
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:39.000
<v Speaker 2>the football game, you're gonna do that, or is it

709
00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:41.279
<v Speaker 2>all collective through the whole year? How does that work?

710
00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Game by game, season by season one?

711
00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:46.359
<v Speaker 10>It's going to be, well, I think to you of a,

712
00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:48.160
<v Speaker 10>I mean it's up to them, right, It's not up

713
00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:51.160
<v Speaker 10>to me. I just we just you know, I invested

714
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:53.279
<v Speaker 10>to develop the software and give it to them, like

715
00:33:53.640 --> 00:33:55.759
<v Speaker 10>that's kind of my thing. And then there's a you know,

716
00:33:55.920 --> 00:33:57.680
<v Speaker 10>obviously you've got a credit card company that has the

717
00:33:57.759 --> 00:34:00.519
<v Speaker 10>charge fees for credit cards or whatever, and Kim not charging.

718
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:02.960
<v Speaker 10>She's just riding checks to the winners into the and

719
00:34:03.079 --> 00:34:05.240
<v Speaker 10>to the non you know, to the athletes stuff that

720
00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:08.920
<v Speaker 10>they're going to do. It's gonna run throughout the year.

721
00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:12.239
<v Speaker 10>Right now, it's running like an eleven day or so program.

722
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:14.679
<v Speaker 10>And then as the season gets back, it will probably

723
00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:17.800
<v Speaker 10>be every home game will be one announce for football,

724
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:20.719
<v Speaker 10>and then basketball will maybe change to where they're announced

725
00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:23.280
<v Speaker 10>on home games. So I think it's gonna it's gonna

726
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:25.199
<v Speaker 10>be up to them based on their schedules right now,

727
00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:28.039
<v Speaker 10>they're running it so that it's probably gonna be every

728
00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:30.280
<v Speaker 10>like two weeks or so, eleven to eleven days to

729
00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:34.480
<v Speaker 10>two weeks, you know, and I think there will be there.

730
00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:36.679
<v Speaker 10>You know, there's probably gonna be a thousand dollars one

731
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:38.800
<v Speaker 10>by somebody, a thousand dollars going to the you know

732
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:41.599
<v Speaker 10>right now this week going to uh going to the

733
00:34:41.639 --> 00:34:43.960
<v Speaker 10>athletic program and the athletes that they and the things

734
00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:45.880
<v Speaker 10>they need for these athletes that you know, a lot

735
00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:48.000
<v Speaker 10>of these Olympic sports that are great for our community.

736
00:34:48.400 --> 00:34:50.880
<v Speaker 10>They bring bed tax, they bring they bring travel, they

737
00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:53.000
<v Speaker 10>bring food and bever sales. But you know they're not

738
00:34:53.159 --> 00:34:57.039
<v Speaker 10>they're not part of the big NIL capture. So you know,

739
00:34:57.199 --> 00:35:00.239
<v Speaker 10>our track team are our gimmis, our our baseball team

740
00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:03.519
<v Speaker 10>even even soccer softball, these teams that don't have the

741
00:35:03.559 --> 00:35:06.880
<v Speaker 10>big NIL money or the big TV money, UH, this

742
00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:08.360
<v Speaker 10>is going to be another way to help them. So

743
00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:11.960
<v Speaker 10>I'm really glad it happened. I'm thankful for the new

744
00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:13.960
<v Speaker 10>you know, the leadership at you to get it done,

745
00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:16.440
<v Speaker 10>and to folks like Kim and Blake and everybody that

746
00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:18.039
<v Speaker 10>helps put sports on the map in Tucson.

747
00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:22.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean, one thing we were talking about yesterday

748
00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:25.679
<v Speaker 2>right with Nil, at these bigger schools, maybe with the

749
00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:28.360
<v Speaker 2>potential of losing other programs, whether it's swimming and JAPS,

750
00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:31.280
<v Speaker 2>syste and what what Ray's doing in the area and

751
00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Kim and the Juve is thinking outside the box to

752
00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:36.840
<v Speaker 2>maybe secure some of those funds to keep those athletes

753
00:35:36.880 --> 00:35:39.800
<v Speaker 2>on campus, to keep those sports on campus. It's it's

754
00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:42.719
<v Speaker 2>a huge effort when everybody comes to the table and

755
00:35:42.840 --> 00:35:45.920
<v Speaker 2>works together, but when it actually happens, people see that

756
00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:49.199
<v Speaker 2>progress and they see the proactiveness of it, and it

757
00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:51.679
<v Speaker 2>creates a It creates a different culture that we talk

758
00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:53.480
<v Speaker 2>about all the time here in southern Arizona, and Ray

759
00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:56.360
<v Speaker 2>hit on it earlier. It's there's a lot of change

760
00:35:56.400 --> 00:35:59.840
<v Speaker 2>that's happening right now behind closed doors, and Raise at

761
00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:03.280
<v Speaker 2>the forefront of it as a community leader, as one

762
00:36:03.320 --> 00:36:06.280
<v Speaker 2>of the public and private sector leaders. But to be

763
00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:08.760
<v Speaker 2>able to have somebody like Ray and his team at Cicharo,

764
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:11.480
<v Speaker 2>but just Ray in general kind of leading that charge.

765
00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:14.199
<v Speaker 2>We're really really fortunate. So I want to say thank

766
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:16.239
<v Speaker 2>you Ray for everything you've done. I mean, big thing

767
00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:18.880
<v Speaker 2>with this where World Baseball Classic doesn't happen without Ray

768
00:36:18.920 --> 00:36:22.480
<v Speaker 2>and Candae with ci Charo making sure that everything was

769
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:26.440
<v Speaker 2>catered at the highest level for MLB standpoint, and just

770
00:36:26.559 --> 00:36:28.360
<v Speaker 2>being there to be able to be an advisor. So

771
00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:32.239
<v Speaker 2>thank you again, Ray, No, thank you.

772
00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:34.840
<v Speaker 10>And look, guys, I promise you there's a little bit

773
00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:36.519
<v Speaker 10>of greed in it. I'm not dumb guy, I mean,

774
00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:38.280
<v Speaker 10>you know, not as numb as my wife thinks I am.

775
00:36:38.360 --> 00:36:42.760
<v Speaker 10>But there's a little greed because look, people staying in

776
00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:46.719
<v Speaker 10>Tucson in hotels that don't have kitchens where they're cooking,

777
00:36:46.760 --> 00:36:49.199
<v Speaker 10>they're going out to eat. So I love to see

778
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:53.280
<v Speaker 10>things that generate bad taxes. See things that generate bad taxes,

779
00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:57.159
<v Speaker 10>big groups of sports coming to town to play, family sports,

780
00:36:57.239 --> 00:37:00.559
<v Speaker 10>youth sports where multi generation's mom, dad, grandma, aunt, uncle

781
00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:03.000
<v Speaker 10>come to Toothson to watch a kid's soccer tournament for

782
00:37:03.079 --> 00:37:06.920
<v Speaker 10>a weekend. Those kind of events drive bed tax and

783
00:37:07.199 --> 00:37:09.280
<v Speaker 10>when you look at bedtaxs, when you look at sales,

784
00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:11.480
<v Speaker 10>when you look at what happens in room nights and Tucson.

785
00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:15.719
<v Speaker 10>We were very much telling visit Toothson. I'm a board member,

786
00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:17.280
<v Speaker 10>I'm proud of what they're doing with the LEEP in

787
00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:20.679
<v Speaker 10>that group. Hey, guys, look at those dates. Four out

788
00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:24.800
<v Speaker 10>of the five biggest dates for travel and bed tax sales,

789
00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:28.440
<v Speaker 10>bedroom and room nights in Tucson are tied to the

790
00:37:28.519 --> 00:37:30.000
<v Speaker 10>university and sports.

791
00:37:29.719 --> 00:37:30.800
<v Speaker 2>And visitors coming here for.

792
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:33.800
<v Speaker 10>That homecoming, parents weekend, things like that that are tied

793
00:37:33.840 --> 00:37:38.719
<v Speaker 10>to sports. That's generating beds and nights, people eating out,

794
00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:42.199
<v Speaker 10>people going to store, shopping, spending money. That trickles down

795
00:37:42.239 --> 00:37:45.519
<v Speaker 10>to everybody. That's why sports matters, you know. And people

796
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:47.440
<v Speaker 10>that don't understand it, they really need to get more

797
00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:53.199
<v Speaker 10>foundation of information on their financials tied to sports. It's

798
00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:56.199
<v Speaker 10>not about oh, you know, we're just all we care

799

00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:02.400
<v Speaker 10>need to be respectful of that at all times.

<v Speaker 2>back and talk more about it. But I thought this

825
00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:04.679
<v Speaker 2>idea when he's talk to me about it last year

826
00:39:04.840 --> 00:39:07.840
<v Speaker 2>and trying to help, I think that's a pretty good idea. Yeah.

827
00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:11.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like, honestly, from a community leader standpoint, Ray

829
00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:17.719
<v Speaker 2>guys are are here to progress us forward, and that

830
00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:21.079
<v Speaker 2>thought process that they're having right now gives us an advantage,

831
00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:23.639
<v Speaker 2>right and it puts us in a place where maybe

832
00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:25.519
<v Speaker 2>other schools don't have that, but it gives us a

833
00:39:25.559 --> 00:39:27.880
<v Speaker 2>competitive advantage. We got to go. Thanks Inry. If you're

<v Speaker 2>nine minutes. If you like to call, please do. Good

906
00:43:17.800 --> 00:43:20.840
<v Speaker 2>stuff from Tim and Ray. A lot of stuff going

907
00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:23.360
<v Speaker 2>on in this town, and I gret I get it.

908
00:43:23.440 --> 00:43:25.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm a little older than you guys, and

909
00:43:25.480 --> 00:43:28.199
<v Speaker 2>maybe a little bybe a lot, but the generation that's

910
00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:30.880
<v Speaker 2>right behind me. You guys are doing some pretty fun stuff.

911
00:43:31.840 --> 00:43:34.119
<v Speaker 2>I think you're out of the box. You have to

912
00:43:34.239 --> 00:43:35.760
<v Speaker 2>with that, Well, you have to, of course. That's what

913
00:43:35.960 --> 00:43:38.480
<v Speaker 2>makes this town a little bit more progressive. Progressive, I mean,

914
00:43:38.480 --> 00:43:41.920
<v Speaker 2>I hope so right, we I mean we. I think

915
00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:44.679
<v Speaker 2>people talk about Tucson in the same breath as Austin

916
00:43:44.920 --> 00:43:47.960
<v Speaker 2>or Portland. And it's not that it's not that so,

917
00:43:48.559 --> 00:43:50.119
<v Speaker 2>but I think you can talk about in the same

918
00:43:50.199 --> 00:43:53.559
<v Speaker 2>breath as El Paso and Albertquerque, and you look at

919
00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:56.760
<v Speaker 2>both those towns and their light years ahead of us. Well,

920
00:43:56.920 --> 00:43:59.280
<v Speaker 2>you're funny you say that, because no one in this

921
00:43:59.360 --> 00:44:02.079
<v Speaker 2>town would believe you. No one would believe you unless

922
00:44:02.119 --> 00:44:03.719
<v Speaker 2>they went to see it, Because I drive through there,

923
00:44:03.800 --> 00:44:05.599
<v Speaker 2>go to safe all the time, and I'm thinking, I

924
00:44:05.679 --> 00:44:08.639
<v Speaker 2>see the stuff, and I'm thinking, you'd never Tuson would

925
00:44:08.679 --> 00:44:11.119
<v Speaker 2>never admit that, first of all. Yeah, but you can't

926
00:44:11.159 --> 00:44:12.960
<v Speaker 2>deny it with what they're doing. From a sports stand

927
00:44:13.239 --> 00:44:15.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't disagree with you, and I'm saying saying this

928
00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:19.159
<v Speaker 2>with sincerity. I'm sorry to say that. And you know

929
00:44:19.239 --> 00:44:21.639
<v Speaker 2>this from an alpacaret standpoint, You and m tied into

930
00:44:21.760 --> 00:44:23.559
<v Speaker 2>University of New Mexico is tied end to everything. And

931
00:44:23.639 --> 00:44:26.239
<v Speaker 2>that's it's it's a love affair. It's the same love

932
00:44:26.280 --> 00:44:29.119
<v Speaker 2>affair up there that this one is down here. They

933
00:44:29.239 --> 00:44:31.920
<v Speaker 2>just do a little bit more. In fact, in fact,

934
00:44:32.159 --> 00:44:34.519
<v Speaker 2>this is something silly. When I go and visit my

935
00:44:34.599 --> 00:44:37.840
<v Speaker 2>relatives and go see the sites, I hear the commercials

936
00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:39.800
<v Speaker 2>for NIL. If you're with us, you know, be I

937
00:44:39.880 --> 00:44:43.199
<v Speaker 2>don't have anybody knocking down my door to get innile commercials.

938
00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:46.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. You don't know by anybody from the

939
00:44:46.719 --> 00:44:49.840
<v Speaker 2>University of Otherwise saying hey, you love the Wildcats, help

940
00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:52.519
<v Speaker 2>us out. I hear them them over there all the time. Yeah,

941
00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:55.599
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sure they're everywhere or across the country in

942
00:44:55.639 --> 00:44:59.000
<v Speaker 2>college towns, but I don't hear them in town. Yeah.

943
00:44:59.079 --> 00:45:00.880
<v Speaker 2>And I mean, and you bring up a good point.

944
00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Albertquerque and Two's don't have a lot of connection from

945
00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:05.360
<v Speaker 2>because I guess you can consider both of them college

946
00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:07.719
<v Speaker 2>towns or at something very much. But I mean, Albertquerque

947
00:45:07.840 --> 00:45:10.960
<v Speaker 2>from a film standpoint, from a professional sports standpoint, kill it.

948
00:45:11.159 --> 00:45:13.800
<v Speaker 2>They kill it absolutely. I mean, they are tendancies out

949
00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:16.079
<v Speaker 2>of this world, and we're almost the same size, right,

950
00:45:16.519 --> 00:45:19.840
<v Speaker 2>So why why wouldn't we try to mirror what people

951
00:45:19.920 --> 00:45:22.360
<v Speaker 2>are doing successfully here, and I think that's what we're

952
00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:23.960
<v Speaker 2>trying to do right now. Here's the funny thing. They

953
00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:28.280
<v Speaker 2>kill it with Triple A baseball, with isotopes. Yeah, USL Championship, soccer, soccer,

954
00:45:28.440 --> 00:45:31.280
<v Speaker 2>and tell me they kill it with soccer. I know

955
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:33.719
<v Speaker 2>there's not much to do, but guess what in Tucson here,

956
00:45:34.199 --> 00:45:37.159
<v Speaker 2>there's not much to do outside of soccer. We had

957
00:45:37.199 --> 00:45:41.119
<v Speaker 2>probleming on yesterday, right, I wasn't As you asked me

958
00:45:41.320 --> 00:45:42.920
<v Speaker 2>who to bring on, I said John, because I talked

959
00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:44.840
<v Speaker 2>to him. We've got a wait. So Jonathan does a

960
00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:47.239
<v Speaker 2>great job, but he doesn't have the same attendance that

961
00:45:47.280 --> 00:45:50.119
<v Speaker 2>you'd like them to have. Yeah, I mean that's that's

962
00:45:50.119 --> 00:45:53.000
<v Speaker 2>gone through some fluctuations. I mean, thankfully John is a

963
00:45:53.360 --> 00:45:57.320
<v Speaker 2>probably as loyal as they possibly can come. So he's

964
00:45:57.320 --> 00:45:59.800
<v Speaker 2>still here and what he's doing, he's working with the

965
00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:01.760
<v Speaker 2>I brought FIFA to the table for all of us

966
00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:07.920
<v Speaker 2>to work on, uh hopefully becoming a World Cup training site.

967
00:46:08.239 --> 00:46:10.360
<v Speaker 2>So we're we're I mean, there's nothing there to be said,

968
00:46:10.480 --> 00:46:12.119
<v Speaker 2>but it's one of the things that we're worth trying

969
00:46:12.159 --> 00:46:13.960
<v Speaker 2>to get it. So yeah, I mean we've got a

970
00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:15.920
<v Speaker 2>lot of positive people and a lot of great people here.

971
00:46:15.960 --> 00:46:18.000
<v Speaker 2>It's just getting everybody to move in that same direction. Well,

972
00:46:18.039 --> 00:46:19.920
<v Speaker 2>I think when you first came on the show a

973
00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:21.480
<v Speaker 2>few months ago and we talked a lot about that,

974
00:46:21.840 --> 00:46:23.400
<v Speaker 2>let me ask you, I'm hoping you were gonna be

975
00:46:23.440 --> 00:46:26.800
<v Speaker 2>honest with me since here, what is Tucson lack in

976
00:46:26.920 --> 00:46:30.760
<v Speaker 2>that department to bring to bring and or maybe help

977
00:46:30.840 --> 00:46:34.000
<v Speaker 2>pull the rope if you're going to be I don't know,

978
00:46:35.559 --> 00:46:37.039
<v Speaker 2>Like you said, I don't know anything about al Paso,

979
00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:39.239
<v Speaker 2>but you know, to al Passos in the same boat,

980
00:46:39.280 --> 00:46:41.760
<v Speaker 2>they have both Triple A and USL championship in the

981
00:46:41.800 --> 00:46:44.079
<v Speaker 2>same stadium. So what So what what's the magic? What

982
00:46:44.119 --> 00:46:45.400
<v Speaker 2>do you need? What kind of magic do you need?

983
00:46:46.519 --> 00:46:49.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, I think the forefront thought process from the

984
00:46:49.559 --> 00:46:52.159
<v Speaker 2>public sector and then somebody with some capital on the

985
00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:56.760
<v Speaker 2>private sector that are both working simultaneously and to pull

986
00:46:56.840 --> 00:46:58.960
<v Speaker 2>something off together. And I think you have that right now.

987
00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:00.760
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know if we've and this is a

988
00:47:01.519 --> 00:47:03.440
<v Speaker 2>so I think we have it right now. I mean,

989
00:47:03.480 --> 00:47:05.760
<v Speaker 2>you just had two people on a phone call that

990
00:47:05.880 --> 00:47:09.039
<v Speaker 2>are doing it together, whereas before you didn't you know,

991
00:47:09.119 --> 00:47:11.440
<v Speaker 2>and I wasn't That's unfair for me to say because

992
00:47:11.440 --> 00:47:15.000
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't around, But yes, I mean I think there.

993
00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:17.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean you we lost a lot more than we gained,

994
00:47:17.559 --> 00:47:20.119
<v Speaker 2>but we're trying to fight in different directions, think outside

995
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:23.199
<v Speaker 2>the box and more people holding that rope. Yeah, And

996
00:47:23.599 --> 00:47:26.480
<v Speaker 2>we had this conversation earlier. Right, it's the same model,

997
00:47:26.519 --> 00:47:28.000
<v Speaker 2>get off your butts and go to the games, but

998
00:47:28.119 --> 00:47:30.920
<v Speaker 2>we're missing a connection, like why aren't people going, Like,

999
00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:32.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't care what you say. SC two sounds great.

1000
00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:35.719
<v Speaker 2>People went to the ice cats. That's that's clubs, that's

1001
00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:38.599
<v Speaker 2>club hockey. But it's great to watch, right, Like we

1002
00:47:38.719 --> 00:47:41.159
<v Speaker 2>don't have the opportunity to see higher levels, So why

1003
00:47:41.199 --> 00:47:44.039
<v Speaker 2>aren't we supporting these And if we're missing something we

1004
00:47:44.119 --> 00:47:45.960
<v Speaker 2>didn't know from the general public, like where are we

1005
00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:48.719
<v Speaker 2>getting our information? Where's the source coming from? And I

1006
00:47:48.800 --> 00:47:50.960
<v Speaker 2>think people are trying to figure out those answers instead

1007
00:47:50.960 --> 00:47:52.599
<v Speaker 2>of just putting the blame on people. Well, here's your

1008
00:47:52.679 --> 00:47:56.519
<v Speaker 2>here's your your publicity. Why don't you go? Yeah, why

1009
00:47:56.559 --> 00:47:58.760
<v Speaker 2>don't you go? Yeah? That's the reasons why, And we

1010
00:47:58.840 --> 00:48:00.679
<v Speaker 2>talked about it. I would love to have a survey

1011
00:48:00.760 --> 00:48:04.199
<v Speaker 2>sent out to everybody asking why, right, why don't you attend.

1012
00:48:04.280 --> 00:48:06.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, why didn't you go to this? Why didn't

1013
00:48:06.079 --> 00:48:09.119
<v Speaker 2>you do that? Whether it's food, ticket prices, whatever, it's

1014
00:48:09.119 --> 00:48:11.960
<v Speaker 2>across the board. You know, we have We're lucky enough

1015
00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:13.880
<v Speaker 2>to have Broadway in Tucson, right, Not a lot of

1016
00:48:13.920 --> 00:48:16.679
<v Speaker 2>cities have that like you. And this is an arts thing.

1017
00:48:16.840 --> 00:48:19.000
<v Speaker 2>You can have that, right, You've got realta that's great

1018
00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:21.599
<v Speaker 2>to You've got all these great things. If you don't

1019
00:48:21.719 --> 00:48:23.840
<v Speaker 2>go to it, what do you think is going to happen.

1020
00:48:23.960 --> 00:48:25.639
<v Speaker 2>It's going to go away. But if you're not going

1021
00:48:25.719 --> 00:48:28.639
<v Speaker 2>to it for a specific reason, let's let's understand what

1022
00:48:28.760 --> 00:48:31.880
<v Speaker 2>that is. So maybe we can change the narrative there, sure, sure,

1023
00:48:32.400 --> 00:48:34.880
<v Speaker 2>or pivot or pivot yeah, or pivot to something else.

1024
00:48:34.920 --> 00:48:36.599
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it doesn't work here, right, I mean you can

1025
00:48:36.639 --> 00:48:38.840
<v Speaker 2>have those conversations at different points, people going, oh, I

1026
00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:40.320
<v Speaker 2>don't need to go after that because I know this

1027
00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:42.760
<v Speaker 2>slot's going to work really well in this area. So

1028
00:48:42.840 --> 00:48:44.880
<v Speaker 2>now everybody else has to travel up north or they

1029
00:48:44.920 --> 00:48:46.679
<v Speaker 2>have to go somewhere else. But you know, when we're

1030
00:48:46.679 --> 00:48:50.079
<v Speaker 2>talking about creating partnerships, Las Crusis is a perfect city,

1031
00:48:50.159 --> 00:48:51.960
<v Speaker 2>right because it's close enough to help, it's right next

1032
00:48:51.960 --> 00:48:54.360
<v Speaker 2>to our passes close enough to albur it's kind of

1033
00:48:54.400 --> 00:48:58.159
<v Speaker 2>that middle point. Why haven't as a Tucson market because

1034
00:48:58.159 --> 00:49:00.599
<v Speaker 2>we always try to think about, oh, we're gonna get California.

1035
00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:03.400
<v Speaker 2>California's not coming here. There's no need for them. Yeah,

1036
00:49:03.440 --> 00:49:06.079
<v Speaker 2>so why don't we create a stronger partnership with Los Crusis.

1037
00:49:06.119 --> 00:49:08.840
<v Speaker 2>Why hasn't that been done? Funny thing about you say

1038
00:49:08.880 --> 00:49:11.599
<v Speaker 2>that it's about three and a half hours to Albuquerque

1039
00:49:11.960 --> 00:49:15.599
<v Speaker 2>Lost Crusis and four here for three and a half

1040
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:17.960
<v Speaker 2>three Okay, depending on how if you want to go

1041
00:49:18.079 --> 00:49:20.199
<v Speaker 2>eighty five miles an hour, but yeah, it's closely. It's

1042
00:49:20.199 --> 00:49:22.360
<v Speaker 2>the same distance. And let me tell you, do you

1043
00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:24.800
<v Speaker 2>know this better than me. There's a lot of recruitment

1044
00:49:24.920 --> 00:49:27.519
<v Speaker 2>going on in Las Crusis up for the kids here

1045
00:49:27.559 --> 00:49:30.400
<v Speaker 2>in Tusso. Yeah, for tone, missie, Oh, I think for

1046
00:49:30.519 --> 00:49:33.599
<v Speaker 2>a long time you're talking about baseball and softball. A

1047
00:49:33.760 --> 00:49:36.079
<v Speaker 2>lot of Tucson kids ended up at those schools, and

1048
00:49:36.199 --> 00:49:39.360
<v Speaker 2>especially in New Mexico State. I mean you had look

1049
00:49:39.360 --> 00:49:42.960
<v Speaker 2>at short coach all Gonzales. Yeah, yeah, there's a there's

1050
00:49:43.079 --> 00:49:45.400
<v Speaker 2>there's more than Gonzalez. There's a lot of people. Yeah,

1051
00:49:45.639 --> 00:49:47.400
<v Speaker 2>you have tons of people over there, But no, I

1052
00:49:47.440 --> 00:49:49.719
<v Speaker 2>think that's that's a heck of a move. In fact,

1053
00:49:49.800 --> 00:49:52.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm just thinking about something now for the show. Because

1054
00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:54.360
<v Speaker 2>there is a connection. There should be a connection. It's

1055
00:49:54.360 --> 00:49:56.079
<v Speaker 2>only three and a half three and a half. You

1056
00:49:56.199 --> 00:49:58.039
<v Speaker 2>say three and a half hours, I'll say four because

1057
00:49:58.039 --> 00:50:00.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to go fast. Do you the speed

1058
00:50:00.480 --> 00:50:03.000
<v Speaker 2>limit when you drive on the house? Seventy seven probably

1059
00:50:03.079 --> 00:50:04.679
<v Speaker 2>is more? You ever get in the left land or

1060
00:50:04.679 --> 00:50:06.119
<v Speaker 2>do you try to stay in the right lane? I

1061
00:50:06.239 --> 00:50:08.719
<v Speaker 2>do when I'm passing. Yeah, yeah, I mean obviously, but

1062
00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:10.880
<v Speaker 2>do you write it? I hate that worse right, I

1063
00:50:10.920 --> 00:50:14.119
<v Speaker 2>hate those people. What is the what's the top mentality there?

1064
00:50:14.119 --> 00:50:16.360
<v Speaker 2>They don't because they don't think. They don't care about No, No,

1065
00:50:16.440 --> 00:50:18.440
<v Speaker 2>they just don't think. They don't think they're doing I

1066
00:50:18.519 --> 00:50:20.519
<v Speaker 2>get to piss off people. Where do you would you

1067
00:50:20.760 --> 00:50:24.719
<v Speaker 2>rate let's say, Tucson drivers, where would you rate them?

1068
00:50:25.079 --> 00:50:25.199
<v Speaker 10>Uh?

1069
00:50:25.440 --> 00:50:26.159
<v Speaker 2>What time of year?

1070
00:50:28.719 --> 00:50:28.840
<v Speaker 9>Now?

1071
00:50:29.320 --> 00:50:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Horrible? See I've said this, and I said this publicly

1072
00:50:32.039 --> 00:50:33.840
<v Speaker 2>on the show, and I told this to Justin. He

1073
00:50:33.920 --> 00:50:34.880
<v Speaker 2>had no idea until I do.

1074
00:50:35.039 --> 00:50:35.079
<v Speaker 9>So.

1075
00:50:35.559 --> 00:50:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I see a lot of invisible cars this time of year. Yeah,

1076
00:50:39.239 --> 00:50:41.440
<v Speaker 2>and you probably don't know what I'm talking about. You're

1077
00:50:41.440 --> 00:50:43.880
<v Speaker 2>at a the four way stop sign or stop sign,

1078
00:50:44.239 --> 00:50:46.960
<v Speaker 2>and you wait, and you wait behind a car that

1079
00:50:47.159 --> 00:50:50.320
<v Speaker 2>sees as invisible cars, no one's coming, but they take

1080
00:50:50.360 --> 00:50:52.679
<v Speaker 2>a minute to see if anybody's coming. But they see

1081
00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:54.519
<v Speaker 2>the cars, they're not coming.

1082
00:50:54.840 --> 00:50:55.039
<v Speaker 1>Just go.

1083
00:50:56.480 --> 00:50:57.880
<v Speaker 2>So I've got to say this. I think in the

1084
00:50:58.000 --> 00:51:02.960
<v Speaker 2>last week driving home, I've seen like four terrible crashes

1085
00:51:03.039 --> 00:51:06.639
<v Speaker 2>an intersection like the moan, Yeah, the one by Davis

1086
00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:09.039
<v Speaker 2>Montan that happened maybe two seconds before I got to

1087
00:51:09.119 --> 00:51:12.000
<v Speaker 2>that intersection. And I'm going, what does the deal with

1088
00:51:12.079 --> 00:51:15.119
<v Speaker 2>people trying to run? Like you see a yellow light

1089
00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:18.079
<v Speaker 2>thirty feet thirty why are you trying to run it?

1090
00:51:18.559 --> 00:51:20.360
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna get to the place to the place a

1091
00:51:20.440 --> 00:51:23.960
<v Speaker 2>minute earlier, Like, I don't get the mindset. And I've

1092
00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:25.679
<v Speaker 2>we've all done it right, We've all and I don't

1093
00:51:25.679 --> 00:51:27.480
<v Speaker 2>want cameras to come back. And I know we're getting

1094
00:51:27.519 --> 00:51:29.360
<v Speaker 2>off topic here, but it's a topic that I think

1095
00:51:29.400 --> 00:51:32.000
<v Speaker 2>people are interested in talking about. We are we are

1096
00:51:32.119 --> 00:51:34.960
<v Speaker 2>consistently rated in the worst drivers in the United States,

1097
00:51:35.079 --> 00:51:38.000
<v Speaker 2>probably as we should. Mean it'll get change that it'll

1098
00:51:38.039 --> 00:51:41.320
<v Speaker 2>get better in three or four weeks, maybe because we

1099
00:51:41.719 --> 00:51:43.480
<v Speaker 2>the people a lot of people aren't from here. Yeah,

1100
00:51:43.920 --> 00:51:45.440
<v Speaker 2>and that's kind of the problem, and not that it's

1101
00:51:45.480 --> 00:51:47.360
<v Speaker 2>a problem problem, you know. I don't want to sound

1102
00:51:47.400 --> 00:51:50.920
<v Speaker 2>poopool on it, but it's true. Yeah, the city turns

1103
00:51:51.000 --> 00:51:54.960
<v Speaker 2>into a kind of a mortgage slower paced type of thing,

1104
00:51:55.000 --> 00:51:57.239
<v Speaker 2>and it turns better. Here's a question I was going

1105
00:51:57.320 --> 00:51:58.800
<v Speaker 2>to ask you, and let me do. We got to

1106
00:51:58.800 --> 00:52:01.559
<v Speaker 2>go about a Minuteyeah, okay, okay, real quick market study.

1107
00:52:01.639 --> 00:52:03.679
<v Speaker 2>Has anybody ever done a market study of what our

1108
00:52:03.719 --> 00:52:07.159
<v Speaker 2>population changes? Is between our we should I mean, that's

1109
00:52:07.440 --> 00:52:09.760
<v Speaker 2>why Why don't we have to keep that thought? Keep

1110
00:52:09.800 --> 00:52:12.239
<v Speaker 2>that thought because we have other ideas. That's a good idea.

1111
00:52:12.239 --> 00:52:12.880
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's go
