What's up, Mark, How are you? Well?

46
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: What's up? I'm doing I'm doing pretty good.

47
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: You know.

48
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: I'm sitting outside in the beautiful sunlight. I'm hanging out

49
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,639
with my pigmy goats. So that you've never had a

50
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,719
guest talk to you on the phone hanging out with

51
00:02:23,759 --> 00:02:24,639
his pigmy goats.

52
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: Actually, it's so funny whenever I see a pigmy goat online.

53
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:32,039
Now I think of you surrounded by your pigmy goats,

54
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,400
jumping around, trotting around like you just enjoying life in

55
00:02:35,439 --> 00:02:40,360
your pristine backyard that you've architected for probably years now.

56
00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:43,759
You're an artisan in that backyard. And then you have

57
00:02:43,879 --> 00:02:49,199
these unique and singular, magical animals trotting around, prancing around you.

58
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: That's all true. I wish you could see a picture

59
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,000
of me. I'm just hanging out by fire. I'm getting

60
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,680
smiled by two goats. It's crazy many winner for them.

61
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,400
They don't get a lot of attention in the winners,

62
00:03:02,479 --> 00:03:03,599
so they're all over me.

63
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,879
Speaker 2: Hey man, well, I'm glad you're getting a little bit

64
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:10,520
of vitamin D out there. Keeping a positive mindset amongst

65
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:14,039
the highs and lows of the college basketball season. But

66
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,960
one thing stood out to me about this last game.

67
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,159
I always find it interesting, Like you know, b YU

68
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,960
fans at Lavelle, they'll boo it just about anything. You don't.

69
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,960
You don't go forward on fourth down, you do go

70
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,479
forth on fourth down, they're gonna boo you. Uh, you're

71
00:03:27,479 --> 00:03:29,800
not scoring, they're gonna be you. You're not playing good defense,

72
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,280
They're gonna be you. Basketball is a little bit different,

73
00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:35,759
Like I don't hear the booze. I've been around BA

74
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:39,080
basketball for about twenty years. I have rarely over the

75
00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:42,280
last twenty years heard BYU fans at the Merrit Center

76
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,960
boo the basketball team. I mean, how many times can

77
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,680
you count how many times that has happened over the

78
00:03:49,719 --> 00:03:52,159
last twenty or so years at the Merrit Center.

79
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty rare.

80
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,719
Speaker 2: Can you think of any instance? Is cande as often

81
00:04:03,759 --> 00:04:05,439
as the way you gets beat as bad as they

82
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:07,159
did last night, which is pretty rare.

83
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: I'm you know UVU had a big win in the medicine. Yeah, yep, Uh.

84
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,240
There's probably a couple that I could think about, But

85
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,319
I think generally it's probably easier to boo football just

86
00:04:19,319 --> 00:04:22,079
because you got helmets on, it's less personal, you know,

87
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,360
as far away, and uh yeah, it's it's kind of

88
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,720
personal when you boo basketball players right there and you

89
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:31,160
can look in their eyes and see them. But I

90
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,600
would say, I mean I heard a little bit. My

91
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,959
thought when it happened was, you know, they were booing

92
00:04:37,959 --> 00:04:39,879
the officials as they were kind of going off the

93
00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:43,079
court at halftimes. So I'm going to give some maybe

94
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,639
some out for fans and listen, you know, fans pay

95
00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:49,560
a lot of money, and kids nowadays are getting paid,

96
00:04:49,639 --> 00:04:53,600
and so maybe it's a little bit more reasonable too,

97
00:04:54,319 --> 00:04:57,240
you know, boo kids. But I think it's super rare.

98
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,480
And if there was any cause to boot, it's not

99
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,879
because they were playing badly, it's because they weren't really

100
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,480
playing and they weren't didn't seem to be a lot

101
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,279
of effort. And I guess if you're gonna boo anything,

102
00:05:09,319 --> 00:05:11,079
that's maybe the one thing you can move out it.

103
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,920
You just want guys, you can I think fans are

104
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,319
incredibly forgiving if the guys are trying and playing hard,

105
00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:21,519
and at least in the first half, it didn't seem

106
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,399
like they were, and it was evident on the scoreboard. Yeah,

107
00:05:25,439 --> 00:05:26,000
I think you're right.

108
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,639
Speaker 2: I think for the most part, BYU fans are pretty fair.

109
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,480
They buy fans will boo when lack of effort is showcased,

110
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:39,079
not necessarily lack of execution. So I'm I'm right in

111
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:42,639
lockstep with you there. Well, we've seen the highs, we've

112
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:45,120
seen the lows. I have a lot of grace through

113
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,879
the scene because if somebody of the season any injuries,

114
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,600
my expectations have been lowered for the quota of the

115
00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:58,240
season to be met. So but but you still see

116
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,319
the potential in this team for an Iowa State team.

117
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,120
One of the best performances, the best performance of this

118
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,279
Boeau basketball team without key players, some of the best

119
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,439
players on the roster. So you go from the highest

120
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,519
point to the kind of the lowest point of the season.

121
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,600
Is that an accurate depiction? That was the low point

122
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:17,800
of the season. You have a high point at a

123
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,600
low point of the season. The contrast the good, the bad,

124
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,199
the ugly, the beautiful of a season.

125
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: I think that's that's part of it, just the start

126
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,839
contrast from what we saw a couple of days before.

127
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,199
If Iowa State, they I think put together their best

128
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,360
forty minutes with or without Richie. I mean, they played

129
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,079
really well and then to follow that up with thirty

130
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,000
minutes of maybe the worst they've played. I mean, they

131
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,519
played pretty bad at Oklahoma State at times, but other

132
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,720
than that, I mean, even in games they lost, they

133
00:06:52,959 --> 00:06:57,920
certainly competed hard and were in the games. Not many blowouts.

134
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,279
So I guess that's the weird thing about that game

135
00:07:02,399 --> 00:07:05,360
is it was so out of the blue and a

136
00:07:05,519 --> 00:07:09,720
typical for this team, and so it puts questions in

137
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:12,879
your mind, you know, who is this team really is it?

138
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,839
Is it the Iowa State or is it the UCF?

139
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,959
And I think that remains to be seen. Really, I mean,

140
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,319
this is a huge opportunity to tell people that yes,

141
00:07:25,399 --> 00:07:28,759
we we do care, we are trying and we and

142
00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:31,519
we're going to fight on the road. Here. This is

143
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,600
gonna be two tough teams against two road, tough win

144
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,759
road games against people you're kind of jostling with in

145
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,240
the middle of the pack in the conference for a

146
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:47,079
single buy. So it does matter, and but more importantly,

147
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,879
I think I think it matters to the team that

148
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,879
they show that they're more like the Iowa State game

149
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,319
than the UCF game. And hopefully, you know, if they

150
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,959
can do that, then I'm certainly have been and will

151
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,079
continue to be optimistic and positive about this team, and

152
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,800
even in the postseason, and when you've got to play

153
00:08:06,879 --> 00:08:09,439
like aj and Rob, you know, anything can happen in

154
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,439
any game, and maybe they get hot and at the

155
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,920
right time. But right now, just coming off that loss,

156
00:08:15,959 --> 00:08:19,000
it's hard to be too positive about anything. But things

157
00:08:19,079 --> 00:08:23,720
change very quickly in college sports. It looked pretty grim

158
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,839
before the Iowa State game, then it looked great. Now

159
00:08:25,839 --> 00:08:27,879
it looks grim again, and if they get a couple

160
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,680
of road wins, then it looks great again. So we'll

161
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,600
see how it goes. But I still believe in this team,

162
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,639
and I think if they do give the effort that

163
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,000
I saw in Iowa State, they have good results. But

164
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,159
it certainly wasn't there the other night last night.

165
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,799
Speaker 2: Any silver linings from the game that we can point

166
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,840
out just to make ourselves feel a little bit better

167
00:08:47,919 --> 00:08:51,960
about a potential thirty point loss that turned into a

168
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,000
much more respectable, respectable thirteen point loss.

169
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: Well, I thought I looked particularly handsome on the jotron

170
00:09:00,519 --> 00:09:02,720
when they introduced Mattha. I thought that was a that

171
00:09:02,799 --> 00:09:03,480
was a good moment.

172
00:09:05,159 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 2: I agree wholeheartedly.

173
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,879
Speaker 1: I know, I know Ron thinks I'm a handsome man.

174
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:16,159
I can I can see him concur Uh. I love

175
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,759
tole say Coastitch. I think he could be a critical element.

176
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,039
Uh if he's got to hit the he's got to

177
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,799
have someone hit the three. And he hit four of them. Uh,

178
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,799
And he looks to be getting more comfortable just handling

179
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,879
the ball. And I think he's actually a pretty good defender.

180
00:09:30,919 --> 00:09:33,919
And so I liked Coastitch. I liked Tyler Morass. I

181
00:09:33,919 --> 00:09:36,120
thought he showed a lot of fire and grit when

182
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:42,039
he was on the floor. So I mean that that's important.

183
00:09:42,039 --> 00:09:44,799
I mean, it's it's really important. They just need someone,

184
00:09:44,799 --> 00:09:51,080
whether it's Mihailo or MoU or Coastitch to hit that three.

185
00:09:52,279 --> 00:09:55,480
You know, b y u h maybe gave up some

186
00:09:55,519 --> 00:10:00,440
easy threes and you see made them pay. And teams

187
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:05,519
that played BYU are giving up threes. They're letting guys,

188
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:08,440
certain guys shoot, and so you need to make them pay.

189
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:14,080
And sometimes Bo you have and yesterday they did not

190
00:10:14,519 --> 00:10:18,080
except for Coastitch, and they were making threes and Bou

191
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,120
was not. And that's not that's the math doesn't work.

192
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,279
If that's what's happening in the game, and so yeah,

193
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,240
I mean, I guess if I'm gonna go with silver lining,

194
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,639
maybe how hard Maress played and the way Kastitch played

195
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,960
and they did any credit credit miss They didn't give

196
00:10:36,039 --> 00:10:39,799
up again. They it was a thirty five point deficit,

197
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,840
they lost by thirteen, so they didn't just mail it in.

198
00:10:42,919 --> 00:10:46,000
They tried to the end and made it somewhat respectable.

199
00:10:46,039 --> 00:10:48,360
But really that's about all the silver linings I can

200
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:48,919
come up with.

201
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 2: How do you think this team will finish out the year?

202
00:10:53,159 --> 00:10:55,799
Do you feel like they'll they'll recoup, you know, and

203
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,399
reinvigorate and maybe get back on the right track. They

204
00:10:59,399 --> 00:11:02,840
have a couple of tough opponents remaining. Anything can happen

205
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,559
in the Big twelve. How do you think they figure

206
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,399
finish out the regular season?

207
00:11:08,039 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: That's the thing. Then I just feel like I have

208
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,000
no idea. I mean, they could not win another game

209
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,200
and that wouldn't surprise me. And they could win and

210
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,879
go to Sweet sixteen and that wouldn't really surprise me.

211
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,320
I mean, I guess it's you know, coming off that

212
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:25,600
Iowa State game, I was super high on them and

213
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:30,600
thought they could win out in conference. Now I don't know.

214
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,639
I mean, if this team backs against the wall. They

215
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,159
had a good win at Baylor and they beat Iowa State,

216
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,200
so maybe they need kind of some pressure and some

217
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,080
things on the line and people not believing in them

218
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,559
whatever to kind of really get the best out of them.

219
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,759
They certainly can win those games Cincinnati and Wake Forest.

220
00:11:51,759 --> 00:11:54,320
They're not world beaters, but b way, you certainly can't

221
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,960
assume they're gonna beat anybody at this point. And then

222
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,559
I actually really like Texas Tech at home. I think

223
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,279
they'll be up and ready for that game, no question,

224
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,799
because it's Texas Tech and the top and they're a

225
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,720
different team and certainly a game that I think BA

226
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:12,679
you could finish with a really good win against the

227
00:12:12,759 --> 00:12:16,679
ranked team at home going into postseason play. So there's opportunities,

228
00:12:16,759 --> 00:12:21,039
there's they're positives. But you know, again we're kind of

229
00:12:21,039 --> 00:12:23,240
in the shadow of that game last night where you think,

230
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,919
can can they beat anybody? But the reality is yeah,

231
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,080
they can just a couple of nights before they beat

232
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,679
the number four team of the country, and so you know,

233
00:12:33,799 --> 00:12:36,240
it's it'll be interesting just to see the mental makeup

234
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,480
of this team, how they respond, you know, uh, you know,

235
00:12:39,799 --> 00:12:43,440
will they play with the needed fire and aggressiveness that

236
00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:45,679
you have to play with in the Big twelve to win.

237
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,559
I think I think they can. I think West Virginia

238
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:54,840
is a great opportunity Saturday, and hopefully that will give

239
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,080
them some confidence because I think Cincinnati is a better

240
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,879
team and they'll need to play pretty good to beat them.

241
00:13:01,039 --> 00:13:05,720
And then certainly, in my view, they could, they could

242
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,639
finish out three and zero. But but again it's it's

243
00:13:08,919 --> 00:13:11,279
it's all kind of influx at this point.

244
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 2: Who is this team and where are they going? The

245
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,840
ceiling and the floor and uh, you know, I feel

246
00:13:18,919 --> 00:13:21,799
like QUDA has changed, right. I'm sure you have a

247
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,919
little bit of race for this team with all the season,

248
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,679
any injuries, But how much how much of a leash?

249
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,200
How much grace do you have? Do the does cougarnation

250
00:13:29,399 --> 00:13:33,080
have when so much has been invested in this team,

251
00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:36,120
not only from a player standpoint, but I'd say from

252
00:13:36,159 --> 00:13:37,919
a coaching staff standpoint as well.

253
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's a different world, you know, expectations for

254
00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:47,440
this year's team, particularly we're super high. I mean there's

255
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:48,039
different things.

256
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 2: For me.

257
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,279
Speaker 1: I'm actually really enjoying just watching AJ play and Rob's

258
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,600
been great that's pretty special just to watch those guys

259
00:13:55,799 --> 00:13:58,639
win or lose, do their thing h and to have

260
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,879
them at the school. The injuries obviously been played a

261
00:14:01,879 --> 00:14:07,879
big factor, and you know, all the depth issues. It's

262
00:14:07,919 --> 00:14:14,279
pretty obvious, I think. But again I recognize all that,

263
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,879
I recognize the limitations. I've been around long enough and

264
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:23,039
my expectations maybe have been lowered. But that said, I

265
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:28,639
really think this team, if they play. I mean, it's

266
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,320
always weird to me how hard teams play when they

267
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:37,200
get way behind, Like guys play that hard at the

268
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,799
beginning and then you don't get way behind. My attitude

269
00:14:40,879 --> 00:14:43,039
was always start a game and start a half, no

270
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,879
matter how much we were ahead or tied, play like

271
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:50,399
you're down ten. That's the kind of energy you need

272
00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:53,360
to play with all the time. And I think this team,

273
00:14:53,399 --> 00:14:56,559
if they can find that gear, leaving each other and

274
00:14:56,679 --> 00:14:59,600
just really get after it, I still think they're really

275
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,120
good tea and could do some great things in the

276
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,039
next month and a half. But you know, that's that's

277
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,519
a that's a question, you know, can they do that?

278
00:15:07,559 --> 00:15:11,360
What's this team made of? You know, Richie, Richie Saunders

279
00:15:11,399 --> 00:15:13,559
is a guy you missed his playing, but you also

280
00:15:13,679 --> 00:15:17,919
just missed how hard he plays, and he's a senior,

281
00:15:18,679 --> 00:15:22,799
and if guys are playing hard, you can't justify that

282
00:15:22,879 --> 00:15:25,039
when Richie's on the floor with you, like this is

283
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,480
Richie's He's playing hard. I better play hard. And so

284
00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:32,799
I do think it hurts more, even more than a

285
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,320
points in you know, player loss is just that leadership

286
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,519
and toughness that Richie brought, and maybe he can do

287
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,840
that from you know, on the bench and stuff, But

288
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,480
clearly I think that's just there's just a lot of issues,

289
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,120
but I think a lot of them can be solved

290
00:15:50,159 --> 00:15:54,080
with just maximum effort and getting after it, and I

291
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,440
think you'll see good things happen.

292
00:15:56,879 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 2: Mark Durant, former by Great Color analyst alongside Greg Rebel.

293
00:16:01,679 --> 00:16:04,240
How's Greg feeling right now? You're more of the optimist,

294
00:16:04,879 --> 00:16:08,639
you know there between the duo. I feel like, you know, Greg,

295
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,919
he can be a harsh critic when given the opportunity

296
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,080
to to, you know, to to speak up about these things.

297
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,759
Speaker 1: Well, Greg, Greg can be a roller coaster at time,

298
00:16:20,799 --> 00:16:23,559
but that's what makes him fun. And it was such

299
00:16:23,559 --> 00:16:27,159
a drubbing the other night. Yeah, last night, it was

300
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,360
almost comical in a way. It's like, what do you do.

301
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,639
I mean, they're knocking down all these threes and it's

302
00:16:31,679 --> 00:16:34,159
like it's just one of those nights. And so he's

303
00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:37,799
actually pretty upbeat for the most part last night. But

304
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,240
I think, you know, Greg, he's a brilliant guy. I mean,

305
00:16:42,279 --> 00:16:46,200
he really is. And if he wasn't an announcer, he

306
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,279
could be president or I guess he couldn't be president.

307
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,840
He's one of those Canucks. But you know, he could

308
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,159
be a lawyer, a doctor. I mean, he's really bright.

309
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,879
He knows the game. He understands all the things we're

310
00:16:56,879 --> 00:17:00,000
talking about. The injuries. It is problematic in the death

311
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,240
and so I mean he's a realist. Uh he's a

312
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,880
big fan. So when when things don't go well, you

313
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,319
know where, it's it on his sleeve a little bit.

314
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,000
But I think, you know, I think he's kind of

315
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,119
waiting to see, like I am, how's this team gonna

316
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,559
do on the road. And it certainly likes the guys,

317
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:18,240
believes in the team, believes we both believe one hundred

318
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,400
percent Coach Young they'll figure it out and get the

319
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,039
best out of his guys. But yeah, I mean it's

320
00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:26,079
just kind of we're just kind of in limbo. Waiting

321
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:29,039
to see what what's this what's this team's gonna be?

322
00:17:29,079 --> 00:17:30,759
And the season's coming to an end here, so you

323
00:17:30,839 --> 00:17:32,240
kind of have to figure out pretty quick.

324
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Mark, I always appreciate our time together. I

325
00:17:36,839 --> 00:17:39,279
would say, Hey, quota to me is you just got

326
00:17:39,279 --> 00:17:42,079
to win one game in the NCAA Tournament and if

327
00:17:42,079 --> 00:17:43,640
you get if you get to the round thirty two,

328
00:17:43,759 --> 00:17:46,920
I'm like, look, with all the season ending injuries, I'm

329
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,920
okay with that. Agree or disagree with a.

330
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: Quota, Well, I'd love to see that. But you know,

331
00:17:54,279 --> 00:17:58,079
the NCAA tournament is a large degree on matchups, and

332
00:17:58,240 --> 00:17:59,920
I think Age is the best player in the country.

333
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,920
So if you've got that, then you always got a chance.

334
00:18:02,279 --> 00:18:06,160
And so I think one certainly would be I think

335
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,920
what I would at least hope for and maybe more.

336
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:09,920

340
00:18:22,519 --> 00:18:23,000
bit about it.

341
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a real estate attorney. I work at allow

342
00:18:28,319 --> 00:18:31,480
firm called Dorsey and Whitney Downtown. It's a great firm.

343
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:37,000
So if any businesses or whoever has some legal needs,

344

346
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,400
great folks. I spent over ten years at Dorsey Now

347
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,359
it's a great place. They do great work. So that's

348
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,880
my plug for Dorsy and Whitney.

349
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, what's like a traditional like call in that

350
00:18:55,519 --> 00:18:59,240
you get that in which what services you could provide

351
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:05,599
to a listener. What's maybe a go to traditional problem

352
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:06,279
solve for you.

353
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. So let's say the great ben Crittle has all

354
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:16,640
these businesses and assets and say you need to negotiate

355
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,440
and prepare a lease for one of your buildings, or

356
00:19:20,319 --> 00:19:22,640
say there's a big office building that the ben Crittal

357
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,880
Enterprises wants to purchase. You need to do due diligence

358
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,000
and contracts and make sure everything's done correctly. Those kind

359
00:19:31,039 --> 00:19:34,160
of things are things that are in my wheelhouse. So

360
00:19:34,839 --> 00:19:37,720
a lot of leasing, a lot of property sales and

361
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,519
acquisition and lending work, all the stuff anything that touches

362
00:19:42,599 --> 00:19:46,200
