Speaker 3: I'm good, you know, as I used to stay with

39
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,439
the Jim Rome Show. Thanks for the vian so always

40
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:47,159
good to be on with you.

41
00:01:47,599 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: Hey, always a pleasure, always a blessing to talk ball

42
00:01:50,239 --> 00:01:53,079
with you. Darnell, Your thoughts, your commentary, your reaction to

43
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:58,200
the Parker Kingston uh rest and UH and UH being

44
00:01:58,239 --> 00:02:01,200
held without bail? Currently, what if you learned about the situation?

45
00:02:01,599 --> 00:02:03,879
What can you tell us? What is your perspective on

46
00:02:03,879 --> 00:02:04,319
this deal?

47
00:02:06,599 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: Yeah?

48
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 3: Well, you know, we are a sports show, and we

49
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:11,680
talk about sports, and we talk about you know, the

50
00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:16,000
various rooms of the athletes and the physicians and all that,

51
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,439
and when something like this happens, my thoughts always turn

52
00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:23,960
to both parties, the victim and the accused, because lives

53
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,360
are changing, futures are changing in this situation, and you know,

54
00:02:28,479 --> 00:02:30,879
I feel for both sides. I don't know all of

55
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:33,800
the details. I don't know how to turn out, but

56
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,680
I do feel on a personal level for Parker and

57
00:02:36,719 --> 00:02:39,680
the young women involved and their families, because this is

58
00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:43,280
a life changing event that's going to put you on

59
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:45,759
a very different track than what you've expected to be on,

60
00:02:46,719 --> 00:02:49,280
whether you're on one side or the other. So that's

61
00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:52,560
my first thought is how badly I feel for those

62
00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:57,080
involved and having to go through this, And then you know,

63
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,919
this is this is something that is serious. There's anything

64
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,680
I've ever seen from a by U athlete. This. This

65
00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:09,080
is a felony charge that's been built over the courts

66
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:14,000
of almost a year. And now that we've heard from

67
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,639
a little bit from Parker's side that he says that

68
00:03:16,719 --> 00:03:22,719
the sexual contact was was consensual. Yeah, so so he's

69
00:03:22,719 --> 00:03:24,879
done a b YU regardless of what happened, because he's

70
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:27,840
admitted to breaking the honor come and unless he wants

71
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,719
to face a really long suspension for his senior year,

72
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,759
you know, depending on how things worth Rana, he's gonna

73
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,080
be looking elsewhere. But his immediate issue is staying out

74
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,319
of prison because this was a very serious defense. And

75
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,080
so you know, we haven't heard the last from either

76
00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:47,520
side as this goes forward, and it's it's a shame.

77
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,840
It reflects badly on everyone involved, you know, on b

78
00:03:53,039 --> 00:03:56,800
YU side. It's a traumatic experience for both sides. And

79
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,439
that's that's where my mind goes in these situations. Is

80
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,199
it just bad decisions and then on top of that

81
00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:06,599
a legal batter that can ultimately change the course of

82
00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:09,400
your life in a negative way.

83
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:13,319
Speaker 1: One of the things internally we've discussed today is, you know,

84
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,560
we've had three separate instances UH this this year essentially

85
00:04:17,879 --> 00:04:21,360
UH regarding on our code violations, high profile honor Code violations.

86
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:25,639
A civil civil suit UH brought up against Jack Orr

87
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:31,920
Jake Retzlov that led to the suspension. It was a

88
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,639
rape allegation as well. You have Cannard Davis Junior d

89
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,759
u Y UH and UH and that that that process

90
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,920
is still I guess being executed. I don't know if

91
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,600
there's any update on the Canard Davis Junior UH issue

92
00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:48,879
with the du Y, But now you have Parker Kingston

93
00:04:48,879 --> 00:04:52,680
phony rape allegation and an eventual court case. We have

94
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:58,680
an arrangement tomorrow. Yeah, it beankes. The question these are

95
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,399
This is a lot of drama, a lot of issues

96
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:06,000
at a church sponsored institution, and the bar is high,

97
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,160
and these student athletes aren't meeting it. What should be

98
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,199
done going forward with these student athletes to make sure

99
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:15,439
that they're abiding by the Honor Code and not bringing

100
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:21,000
disdain and dishonor to brig them and themselves for that matter,

101
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,480
and they're families for that matter.

102
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 3: It's a good point that you make about the bar

103
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,040
being high. There's a high standard set and there's always

104
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:33,519
the case in a situation like that that someone will

105
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,079
fall short of a standard and then what do you do?

106
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,519
I would think knowing that the people that work in

107
00:05:40,519 --> 00:05:44,000
the athletic department that they are very clear with their athletes.

108
00:05:45,439 --> 00:05:47,720
You know, this is what you're expected to do, and

109
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:49,759
this is these are the rules you're expected to live by.

110
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,800
And Ben, you and I both attended by you. We

111
00:05:52,879 --> 00:05:54,759
know that's not always the case with the student or

112
00:05:54,759 --> 00:05:58,040
an athlete. They just decide to do something that they

113
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,639
shouldn't because they're young and and sometimes they feel invincible.

114
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,959
Sometimes they think they can get away they not get caught.

115
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,920
Sometimes it's you know, maybe alcohol evolved. Mean, there's lots

116
00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:12,519
of reasons why someone would fall sort of those standards

117
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,560
in terms of what by you should do about it.

118
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,279
These are individuals. This isn't not a situation where you're

119
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,399
back seven or eight guys involved, like back in the day.

120
00:06:20,439 --> 00:06:23,560
But what happened during the Gary Crochton era. This is

121
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,199
an individual making bad decisions and that happens in every

122
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,360
single athletic department around the country, and it happens at BYU.

123
00:06:31,439 --> 00:06:34,160
We had to happen before, maybe not quite this serious,

124
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,759
but it's just an opportunity I think for all coaches

125
00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:41,199
at BYU to sit their players down and say, look,

126
00:06:42,519 --> 00:06:45,920
you are admitting when you go to school here, you

127
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,639
sign a release that says you will follow these rules.

128
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,759
There are consequences to not following the rule, and because

129
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,800
the standards so high, there are streme consequences in some cases.

130
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,040
So you need to be sure that this is what

131
00:06:57,079 --> 00:06:58,920
you want. We don't want to put you in a

132
00:06:58,959 --> 00:07:03,199
situation where you're going to go astray and change the

133
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:05,879
course negatively in your life. If this is where you

134
00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:07,600
want to be and you want to follow those rules,

135
00:07:07,959 --> 00:07:10,800
then let's do this. But it again is an opportunity

136
00:07:10,839 --> 00:07:13,879
for not only maybe the coaches, but also your team leaders,

137
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,079
your captains to sit down with players who they maybe

138
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,360
they know about, are a little bit way we're in

139
00:07:20,439 --> 00:07:22,879
doing things they shouldn't and tell them it affects more

140
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,519
than just you, and you need to step up and

141
00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:28,480
live up to your word. It's very important that you

142
00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:31,560
take accountability for what you said you would do, so

143
00:07:31,639 --> 00:07:33,720
that I think that's what they can do. But I

144
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,399
don't think there's any question that you look at this

145
00:07:36,519 --> 00:07:39,040
and say I don't think you can say, oh, the

146
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,160
coaches didn't let him know. This is what he should

147
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:44,199
or shouldn't be doing. These athletes know, and when they

148
00:07:44,279 --> 00:07:47,079
choose poorly. This is what we see.

149
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,319
Speaker 1: Double D Donnelle Dixon here on your Utah ESPN Radio

150
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,079
network for a little Cougar beat, and I'm intrigued to

151
00:07:55,079 --> 00:07:59,000
see how this all unfolds. It's I think it's it's

152
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,839
everyone's conclusion to Parker Kingston will not be playing for

153
00:08:01,959 --> 00:08:05,560
by You ever again, and he won't be playing college

154
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,680
football I think this year either, with all of this

155
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,759
scrutiny and this legal battle that he's about to face.

156
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,079
Speaker 3: And again, like I said, changing your life from not

157
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:18,040
the better, changing the course of where you thought you

158
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,000
would go in your life for a bad decision. And

159
00:08:21,639 --> 00:08:23,680
you know, we feel, like I said, I feel for

160
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,439
both sides on this because it is a life changing situation.

161
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,399
And you know, Parker his future is unknown right now

162
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,320
and it's going to take a lot of work on

163
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,960
his part to recover from whatever the deciding factors might

164
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,799
be and how this turns out to continue his life

165
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,480
because it's definitely not going to go the way he

166
00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:47,039
expected when he announced he was coming back for his

167
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,919
senior year at b YU a few months ago.

168
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,879
Speaker 1: Let's talk football related, right, the impact of not having

169
00:08:52,879 --> 00:08:55,559
Parker Kingston on the football field next year for BYU.

170
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,039
How do you see it? How how big of a

171
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,559
loss this is for BWAU football.

172
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,039
Speaker 3: Well, just taking a look at the football aspect of it,

173
00:09:03,159 --> 00:09:06,240
I really felt like the wide receiver group needed to

174
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:09,639
go out and get an established receiver, maybe somebody from

175
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,720
a smaller division school or somebody that's actually had put

176
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,679
a lot of time in on the field. I know

177
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,639
they went and got the kid from Oregon, but he

178
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,039
hasn't played much and so I was already thinking, even

179
00:09:23,039 --> 00:09:26,759
with Parker Kingston in the room that the receiver groups

180
00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:29,600
had a lot of questions in my mind, And now

181
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,799
with Parker going to almost assure to be gone, I

182
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,840
do have questions about who's going to step up in

183
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,240
that room. Because of everything that Chase Roberts did in

184
00:09:38,279 --> 00:09:42,279
his career. There are good talented players, they just don't

185
00:09:42,279 --> 00:09:45,919
have anybody that's really established themselves as a go to guy,

186
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:49,519
as a leader, as a player that there Bachmeyer feels

187
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,159
really comfortable with going to on third downs. We're in

188
00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:54,639
tough situations, so there's a lot of work to be done.

189
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,919
In that wide receiver room, and even more so now

190
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:01,000
as they get closer to springball and then summer workout

191
00:10:01,039 --> 00:10:01,759
and then fall down.

192
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just wanted to add on that. Do you

193
00:10:06,639 --> 00:10:09,519
feel like there would be a front runner to take

194
00:10:09,799 --> 00:10:14,320
that spot? I gotta I personally would put Tiger Bachmeyer

195
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:17,360
maybe in that case, because he has got some He's

196
00:10:17,399 --> 00:10:21,000
obviously got some chemistry with Bear. He's been around college

197
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,840
football while I've been in the program here and then

198
00:10:22,879 --> 00:10:26,360
and then is someone like Jaron Poola maybe able to

199
00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:29,480
get in the in the mix for a starting or

200
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:30,320
the too deep.

201
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, it is. It is pretty wide open to

202
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,519
to step up that way. You know. I think Jojo

203
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,639
Phillips says all the physical act of Youse, I just

204
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,960
don't know about his mental preparedness to be that kind

205
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,960
of a player. I know he's pretty young in his

206
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,559
football development. I like Reggie Firsni. I think he's got

207
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,360
some great talent there. And uh, it's just a matter

208
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,519
of who is going to step up in that room.

209
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,960
And and uh, Fessy Sataki famously doesn't like to go

210
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,559
too deep in his rotation at the receiver growth. He

211
00:11:02,639 --> 00:11:06,080
likes to go with you know, four maybe five beyond

212
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,240
that is something he's not as comfortable with. So there's

213
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,200
going to be quite a bit of moving back and

214
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,720
forth in their room with who gets to get those

215
00:11:13,759 --> 00:11:17,440
reps and who impresses Bethy and who develops the chemistry

216
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,279
with bear Bachmeyer in order to make that happen. And

217
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,759
there are, as you mentioned, several different guys that could

218
00:11:23,799 --> 00:11:28,000
possibly step forward and make themselves a name and make

219
00:11:28,039 --> 00:11:28,799
themselves a leader.

220
00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:35,799
Speaker 1: Darnell. As we look at the twenty twenty six BYU

221
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,120
football team, will learn a little bit more about this team.

222
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,360
Obviously it's spring ball, et cetera. One of the questions

223
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,200
I've I've broached is, yeah, there's not a wide receiver one.

224
00:11:45,399 --> 00:11:49,879
Hopefully you can find one now, But what about RB two.

225
00:11:49,879 --> 00:11:53,279
Who's your favorite to become RB two from this BYU

226
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:54,559
football team? And why.

227
00:11:56,879 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 3: At this point most people would Probays, they say, anymo

228
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,519
I like Devon Eka's skill set. I think that if

229
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,720
there's a position for a freshman to step up and

230
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,279
make some plays, I think Davon can do it. He's

231
00:12:09,279 --> 00:12:11,960
a really good receiver out of the backfield. He's grown some,

232
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,240
he's gotten bigger and thicker. I think you know that's

233
00:12:14,279 --> 00:12:16,559
important when you're you're back there, how much the coaches

234
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,720
trust you to be part of the passing game and

235
00:12:18,759 --> 00:12:21,519
if you can block and fill gaps, one of those

236
00:12:21,519 --> 00:12:24,320
guys blitz. But but catching well out of the backfield

237
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,000
is important. And I feel like maybe Devon Eica might

238
00:12:28,039 --> 00:12:29,279
be a guy if he puts in the work and

239
00:12:29,639 --> 00:12:32,600
find himself with a few reps once the season starts.

240
00:12:34,519 --> 00:12:37,879
Speaker 1: Darnell, this is, you know, a hot debate right now

241
00:12:37,919 --> 00:12:41,440
with b YU basketball. Who do you expect to step

242
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:46,559
up and be a supporting player to the brig three,

243
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,320
the triple combination, if you will.

244
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 3: It's it's been an ongoing problem this season, and Kevin

245
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,440
Young's admitted and much to us that the depth is

246
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,960
an issue. I think that affects their defense because the

247
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,200
big three are maybe a little hesitant to stick their

248
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,679
nose in there sometimes because they know they can't get

249
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:08,440
in foul trouble. I think, you know, the Canard Davis

250
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,320
situation has had its moments where I felt like he

251
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,120
maybe was breaking through and he didn't. He had a

252
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,720
nice game against Baylor, hit some free tros, made some plays.

253
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,679
That's the thing. And you know, as you look at

254
00:13:20,799 --> 00:13:26,120
what this team needs to do when they are focused defensively,

255
00:13:26,159 --> 00:13:29,919
and in that Baylor game, there was probably two specific

256
00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:35,159
areas where when they had Boop in there and they

257
00:13:35,159 --> 00:13:38,720
were going small that their defense was outstanding. And it

258
00:13:38,759 --> 00:13:41,759
was once it happened when they were down thirty four

259
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,360
or twenty one in the first half, they had a

260
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,480
couple of really good defensive sequences that turned into breakouts

261
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,440
on transition buckets and then they got back into game

262
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,080
tied to the forty one, and then earlier in the

263
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,320
second half they had I think it was a fifteen

264
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,840
or sixteen to two run and that was fueled by

265
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,759
a block by Richie and a steal by Richie. When

266
00:14:02,799 --> 00:14:06,279
they can find those moments more frequently, they're going to

267
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,679
have a better opportunity to win. And Cannar Davis came

268
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,679
here as a guy they said can play really well

269
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:16,440
defensively and as a good open shooter. He has not

270
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,120
been a good open shooter, but he can definitely make

271
00:14:18,159 --> 00:14:20,679
a difference on the defensive end if he focuses there,

272
00:14:21,039 --> 00:14:23,840
get some steals, make some plays on that side. And

273
00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:26,279
I think we're all pretty much in awe of that

274
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,279
Big three and what they've done offensively, but we if

275
00:14:30,559 --> 00:14:33,679
YU wants to be successful moving forward into the Big

276
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,799
Fell Tournament and the NCAA Tournament, they need more plays

277
00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:40,320
made by others and Cannard Davis is one of those

278
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,480
guys that needs to make more plays.

279
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,519
Speaker 1: Darnelle Dixon the Daily heraldy and what are you going

280
00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:49,039
to be working on for is double D What can

281
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,240
you tease us with? What are you going to be

282
00:14:50,279 --> 00:14:52,360
publishing here shortly at the Daily Herald?

283
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: So we know jimmerfer Dead is having a jersey retired

284
00:14:56,519 --> 00:14:59,039
on Saturday. I had a nice long talk with one

285
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,120
of his former assistant so just Tim Lacombe, and he

286
00:15:02,159 --> 00:15:05,200
told me some great things about the way that it

287
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,440
kind of happened, you know, behind the scenes a little bit,

288
00:15:08,919 --> 00:15:10,799
and so I'm working on that. I'm sure we get

289
00:15:10,799 --> 00:15:14,600
a chance to talk to Gimmer on Saturday. Anybody who

290
00:15:14,679 --> 00:15:17,519
lived through that time, whether they were watching it on

291
00:15:17,559 --> 00:15:20,600
TV or following the team or going to games, it

292
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,600
was unprecedented. And I don't know if we'll love to

293
00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:24,759
be duplicated because one of the things that Tim talked

294
00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:28,879
about with me was, you know, everyone knew when Aja

295
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,279
Debonsa came to BYU he was the number one player

296
00:15:31,279 --> 00:15:33,159
in the country and he's probably going to be top

297
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,480
draft choice in the NBA. When Jimmer game, he he

298
00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:39,360
had two scholarship offers, and nobody really knew much about

299
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,399
him until towards the end of his junior year when

300
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,320
BYU beat Florida and double overtime in the NCAA tournament,

301
00:15:45,519 --> 00:15:46,960
and then the following year when he had that big

302
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,000
game as Utah, suddenly he was the social media darling

303
00:15:50,039 --> 00:15:52,399
and social media was just getting started that time. So

304
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,840
the way that it happened and the experience that we

305
00:15:55,879 --> 00:15:57,759
all had kind of following the team at that time

306
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,759
is just such a unique adventure and you can experience

307
00:16:00,799 --> 00:16:02,720
And that's kind of what I hope to write about

308
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,559
heading into Saturdays after the game of Colorado.

309
00:16:06,159 --> 00:16:08,279
Speaker 1: Love it man, Double d. You always appreciate our time

310
