Did you guys 17 00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:48.359 talk about it yesterday? Did I miss it? No? But 18 00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:50.719 you want to go ahead? No?

I love that one, just from the 22 00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:59.840 fans standpoint. I think those fans deserve it. But uh, 23 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:01.960 that was that was a good well played game. I 24 00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:05.200 just I bet him not a whole lot. I think 25 00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:10.400 that Casey has been on the tight rope, yeah, all 26 00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:12.000 all year, but they find a way to win. And 27 00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:14.719 it's unbelievable how they stay on that damn typro. It's 28 00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:18.359 gonna be the You're gonna I'm gonna get crucified for 29 00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:23.359 saying this. It's the least talented Chiefs team, but arguably 30 00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:27.159 maybe the best Chiefs team because because they were able 31 00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:29.519 to get out of they know how to win, like, 32 00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:33.120 no matter what, they have such a small margin for 33 00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:35.560 defeat that you had to find a way to beat them. 34 00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:39.120 And nobody has the secret code. Yeah, the secret code. 35 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:42.120 Find a way? Is it because of one dude? I 36 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:45.200 mean mahomes is Mahomes right, he's Moodini. Yeah. 37 00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:47.560 And then Kelsey finds a way, even at his age 38 00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:49.159 at this point to do what he does. 39 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:49.920 He's the rabbit. 40 00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:51.959 And then you've got Worthy. That's like, if you can 41 00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:53.560 get him the ball and you give him any space, 42 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:56.319 he's gone. But I mean their best receivers hurt. He's 43 00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.719 out for the season. Right, You're you're running backs out 44 00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:00.959 for the season. You've got ream Hunt in there. You 45 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:03.040 don't have to check o anymore. It's just it's wild 46 00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:03.280 to me. 47 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.159 So let me ask you, guys, because they've been so 48 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:07.640 successful over the years. 49 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.639 Yeah, not just last two, over the years. Uh. 50 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:13.639 And I'm asking you because you're a coach and formal player, Uh, 51 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.400 because you want so much? Is it just because that's 52 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:19.759 just you know, you know, it's programmed to you knowing 53 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:20.240 how to win. 54 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:22.560 It's second nature. You know. 55 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.879 There's no anxiety factor. I mean you still get butterflies 56 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.120 before the game. There's no anxiety factor, right, There's no 57 00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:32.159 an oh poop moment, there's no sped up of the game. 58 00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:34.639 They're just like, Okay, this happened, Now we're gonna do this. 59 00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:34.879 Yeah. 60 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.639 Motor, it's like just what do you call it? Motor 61 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:41.080 with the repetitive emotions. Muscle memory, muscle memory. 62 00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:42.960 That's it. That's it. That's team Mark. 63 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:47.680 Dallas Cowboys have named former Bears head coach Matt Eberflus 64 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:49.319 as their new defensive coordinator. 65 00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:51.680 I mean, what do you want me to say here? 66 00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.280 It's a it's a it's it's a Cowboys. I don't know. 67 00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:57.520 I'm not a Cowboys fan, but it's just it's I 68 00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.120 don't understand that franchise it's like we talk about I 69 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.080 know you don't watch soccer, but it's like, man, you 70 00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:04.840 these these groups that have more money than God and 71 00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:06.400 the way they spend it and the way they go 72 00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:08.759 about their business and how they can't put a productive 73 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:10.080 product on the field. 74 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:15.520 I'll give you the answer. It's the boss. It's the boss. Yeah. 75 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:17.919 I used to be a cowboy fan that came from 76 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:20.159 Dallas here a long time ago. I stopped being a 77 00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:22.800 cowboy fan a long time ago. Got tired of being miserable. 78 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.280 And he's the reason why. I mean, he hired a 79 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.919 coach from in house. Yeah, I don't know. 80 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:30.159 I said this, I don't know. If you've been on 81 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.240 the show, it's this a thousand times. You don't hire this. 82 00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.919 You do not hire the substitute teacher, because you just 83 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.000 move them up. They still treat them the same, and 84 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:40.919 the substitute teacher, they're not going to treat them any different. 85 00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:44.199 Okay, But what's what's better, retread and higher or in 86 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:44.840 house higher? 87 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:45.479 Good? 88 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:49.719 Question depends who that retread hire is. Well, McCarthy wasn't 89 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.919 the right guy. No, I would have even taken Dion. Yeah, 90 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.719 I think just for something different. He knows I mean 91 00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:59.199 you know, yeah, anyway, arguably the greatest two sport athletes 92 00:03:59.199 --> 00:03:59.639 of all time. 93 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.800 I mean, you Bo Jackson, but the Cowboys get what 94 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.199 they get for a reason. Good luck that. Yeah, you're right, 95 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:07.120 You're absolutely right. 96 00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:12.080 Gilbert Arena's son, five star guard Elijah Renas, includes Arizona 97 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:12.919 in his top five. 98 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.560 Yeah, everyone's there was one five star last night. I 99 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:17.600 don't think he was the guy. Did they say who 100 00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:19.360 the guy was? Not a co Opete? 101 00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:24.360 Yeah, Brandon Burrows and co O Pete were named All Americans. 102 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:26.839 Yeah, that was the game last night. The game. 103 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:28.480 You know, we're trying to figure out who was up 104 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:30.399 the game last night. There was one of them. 105 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:33.240 I mean, if Tommy pulls out a miracle and gets 106 00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:38.040 Copete and Arenas next year, I think you've got a 107 00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:39.079 lot returning from. 108 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.279 This this club. Don't don't jinx it. 109 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:44.360 No no, no, I mean I no, no, I don't mean 110 00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.439 I'm not talking about transferportal, Take transferporter out of it. 111 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:51.319 I just mean NBA wise, you're gonna lose Love obviously, right, 112 00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.519 and I think there's still a chance depending on the tournament. 113 00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.160 How Brian does that you lose Brian? Right, But other 114 00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:57.720 than that, in Townsend. 115 00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:00.800 KJR, Brian Cage kJ He hasn't had the year. 116 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:02.680 No, no, no, to be deserved. 117 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:04.639 He's a great listen, he's a great tool to have 118 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:06.399 in your two tool belt. But he doesn't have a 119 00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:09.160 perimeter shot yet that I think pushes in this really strange. 120 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:12.319 How that's kind of lost? Yeah, got lost. 121 00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:16.279 Arizona softball ranked a unanimous top twenty five team by 122 00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:18.120 NFCA preseason polls. 123 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:20.399 Yeah, they're going to have a pretty good year, no 124 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:23.560 question they should. I mean yeah, yeah. 125 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:27.360 University of Arizona's alumni Andre Guodala will have his number 126 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.879 nine jersey retired by the Warriors February twenty third, twenty 127 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:31.480 twenty five. 128 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:35.879 He's the first of the group of the recent guys. Yeah. 129 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:36.439 How many? 130 00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:39.079 How many uf A guys have their numbers retired? NBA 131 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:39.800 numbers retired? 132 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:44.040 Good quit? Do you know the Elliott in San Antoni? Yeah? Okay, 133 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.399 does he I don't know if he does, I'm asking 134 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.120 this question. I don't know. I think he was pretty 135 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:50.240 confident about that. I think he might. I don't know. 136 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:51.639 I should know this, and I don't know this. 137 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:55.240 And then Iguadaladal, Yeah, I think that might be two 138 00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:57.879 anybody who knows different, let us know. 139 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.040 We can always google it. Yeah. But yeah, yeah, after 140 00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:03.600 he had his uh, after he had his operation. Yeah, 141 00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:05.319 he wasn't the same. He wasn't the same, but he 142 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.399 but they could have honored it later, just sort of 143 00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:08.720 respect for him. I don't know. 144 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:11.680 That's a good question. That's a good question, Damon. Probably 145 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:13.360 not because he was Toronto. 146 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:17.759 No baby in Sacramento. No, no, no, I don't think so. 147 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:22.720 Brian Belichick, Bill Belichick's youngest son, is leaving the Patriots 148 00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:26.120 after serving as a safety's coach. Reports that he'll likely 149 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:27.439 join Bill at You wouldn't see. 150 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.160 I don't know if that's I mean, that's not crazy, right, 151 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:32.040 there's probably expectation his. 152 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.160 Other son who's with Fish left there to go. 153 00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:38.639 With him to Do you think what's your expectations of 154 00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:39.920 belichick first year at n C. 155 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:42.839 I don't. I don't think it's going to be great. 156 00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:47.319 I don't. I don't know what to expect. Yeah, I 157 00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:49.040 don't know. I think he's gonna find himself in a 158 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:52.120 situation where it's gonna be tougher than he thought. It's 159 00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:56.279 North Carolina, it's like Arizona football. Honestly, Yeah, I'm the same. Yeah, 160 00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:59.759 that's that's a good How do you kind of cage it? Yeah, 161 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.000 that's it for today's breaking news. 162 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:03.879 Okay, I'm glad you got Andre because I was gonna 163 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:05.120 put that in there as well. 164 00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:07.000 I'm not sure what else is going on, Oh for him. 165 00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.000 We have time for any calls and if anybody wants 166 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:11.519 to call, we got about ten minutes. Yeah, what's eight 167 00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:15.439 minutes at the fifteen seventeen mark. We're going to have 168 00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:18.519 Michael lev get his impression. He sat next to me 169 00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:22.439 last night and see what he wrote today, his five observations. 170 00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:26.160 He was asking some good questions, so probably towards his 171 00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:30.040 column toward today. One of the things that you talked 172 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:31.920 about and we talked about with Kelvin. 173 00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:35.839 This team was I thought it was very admirable in 174 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:39.560 that they didn't wilt. They didn't wilt, and you talked 175 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:40.680 about how defense. 176 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:40.920 It was funny. 177 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:42.800 Did you see it was like a football game between 178 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.920 the twenties. Yeah, in the first fifteen minutes they didn't 179 00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:47.959 go to the basket, didn't It was at the free 180 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.160 throw line. It stopped back and forth, handled the ball. 181 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:52.639 It was a basketball game on skates. 182 00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:55.839 We to Love's credit, and I know we talked about 183 00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:57.600 it earlier, about the game that he had prior to 184 00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:00.720 hitting that half court shot. I mean needed somebody to 185 00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:04.000 have basket early on just to kind of break the 186 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:05.680 eyes for us, and he did that. So I mean, 187 00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:09.000 because you're playing that defensive, I mean, everybody's confidence, everybody's 188 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.959 playing so tight that you just need somebody to say, listen, 189 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:13.600 like we can hit some hard shots. 190 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:14.279 Yeah. 191 00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:16.639 Well, he talked about the guy who kind of did 192 00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.519 not make an impact. Two guys maybe Henry, you know nothing, 193 00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:22.079 but dil also to. 194 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.439 Him, he's he got pushed around and I don't think 195 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:29.079 he's used to. He also looks like he's I know, 196 00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:31.240 the one sequence where he had to bring the ball up, 197 00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:33.799 you could see the fear in his eyes trying to 198 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.000 handle the ball there. Just because of the defensive pressure 199 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.000 and the way they play. It's surprising with Henry, and 200 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:42.840 it was a little surprising to me the way a 201 00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:46.159 Waka played that Waka wasn't in the game more in 202 00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:49.960 the second half, especially down the stretch. I know he's 203 00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:54.519 playing in three fouls, but I mean Waka again, it 204 00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:55.279 was unbelievable. 205 00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:59.240 Last Yeah, it's funny because you saw how well Bryant played, right, 206 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:01.559 And I'm thinking, I don't know if everybody else is 207 00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:04.159 thinking this, put him back here, put him in, don't 208 00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:05.799 take him out. Yeah, you got to keep him on 209 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:06.120 the floor. 210 00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:06.440 But he did. 211 00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:08.840 He played twenty seven. I don't remember the box scoring 212 00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:10.840 on the top of my head, but you're thinking, what 213 00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:13.679 the hell is he not playing him for more? Yeah, 214 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:15.399 and he's not. You don't have to start him. You 215 00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:16.840 don't have to do all these things because he's got 216 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:17.840 that cemetery going. 217 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.240 But okay, the clock, start, first possession, get out, put 218 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:22.799 Brian in. 219 00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:25.279 Yeah, absolutely, and that I mean, that's a big thing 220 00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:29.799 with his team is you know, it's maybe more frustrating 221 00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:31.720 from a fan experience because it's not all times you 222 00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:33.960 ride that hot hand. It's just confusing because you're like, 223 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:36.600 this guy's hot, like right, write him right? I mean 224 00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:39.000 Bryant last night, fine, fine. 225 00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:40.440 Looks for him. He's good. What side of the basket 226 00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:46.600 were you on? I was on. I am on visitor side. 227 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:48.759 The visitors side, Okay, so I'm on that same side. 228 00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:51.519 The goaltending was on that side. 229 00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:52.039 I can. Yeah. 230 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.960 That was a pushtable. Yeah I thought so. And then 231 00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:56.720 you saw the review of it. It's still to my 232 00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:59.279 mind question. Well, yeah, I mean that is another piece 233 00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.840 of Brian AD's that was up there too. Oh my gosh, 234 00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:04.480 rim protection too that was up there. Yeah, yeah, I 235 00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:06.440 saw it. It could have gone either way. 236 00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:08.440 Yeah, but it was exciting in the mess. 237 00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:10.039 It was it was it was, oh, you know what 238 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:12.759 I didn't write in the story that I why you know, 239 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:15.320 I'm like a D D H whatever. Just there's so 240 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:19.279 many story about you know what. Uh Love's second bit 241 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:24.600 shot was in my mind that dog Oh yeah, unbelievable. 242 00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.240 What that And he doesn't have a huge vertical either, 243 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:30.240 but he just comes, he comes in and he goes 244 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:34.720 for it. That was, I mean, the one area of 245 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.799 contention that we haven't talked about all today, which is 246 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:42.120 kind of crazy about Bradley having seven steals. Oh yeah, 247 00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:43.879 I mean, when's the last time we had a guard 248 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:45.919 with seven steels? 249 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.360 And I can't even tell you what because there was 250 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:49.759 like just how he just happened? 251 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.879 It was Yeah, I thought a couple of them were Kj's, 252 00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:55.519 but they went down as Bradley's. But I mean having 253 00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:58.399 kJ and him in that backcourt in the second half 254 00:10:58.519 --> 00:10:59.799 was was special. 255 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.000 Know what a what a there's so many things that 256 00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:05.120 the sixteen to zero run, the runs in the second half, 257 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:08.360 the fourteen to five, did they outscore in fourteen to six, 258 00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:10.279 fourteen six in the second, in the overtime? 259 00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:13.399 Yeah, the threes that he hit back to back, and yeah, 260 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:15.879 that's why I asked him. I says, you haven't listen 261 00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:19.320 to press conferences. So I said, uh, Caleb, how does 262 00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.840 a guy go from miss miss miss or you know, 263 00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:25.679 miss missmiss to not miss or you know whatever? 264 00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:28.080 I just should I just shoot. I'm just I believe 265 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:30.519 in myself. It was a silly question. 266 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:32.440 That's just It's like, once I hit her, you know, 267 00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:34.159 how do you not hit three hundred? You hit three 268 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:35.960 hundred and three seventy five, and all of a suden 269 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:37.000 don't hit three seventy five. 270 00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:39.240 I get it. I just had to ask the question. 271 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:42.120 Now, players love those questions. I'm shaking my head right now. 272 00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:44.960 Yeah. No, we don't love those questions. I know, think 273 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:47.039 about us. We as writers, you've got to ask. We 274 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.720 got to ask him because we need to write what happens. 275 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:51.879 You know. We had to get into your mind. 276 00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:54.840 Do you go into those press conferences with like yes? 277 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:56.840 Someone of an optional subscript Oh. 278 00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:58.279 I already in my head. I already know what I'm 279 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:00.559 gonna write. Anything written down, you just go do it. 280 00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.399 Just because you got to see the flow last night. Well, 281 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.200 I asked this because it's gonna be part of my story. 282 00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:06.480 I didn't ask the question, but I'm gonna get the 283 00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:09.080 story and get the answer. My next story is going 284 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:10.919 to be on the waka. The dude's a big dude, right, 285 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:14.440 so to me, he's carrying this team in a physical 286 00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:15.440 mental kind of way. 287 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:15.720 Right. 288 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.919 I wonder how big he is, like his broad shoulders 289 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:21.720 and so I want to describe because he's doing a lot. 290 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:24.519 I didn't ask that question in terms of how broad 291 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.879 are your shoulders and how much weight can you bench? 292 00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:28.879 Yeah, he reminds me a little bit of Eugene on 293 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:31.480 the floor. Oh we were talking about Yeah, we compared that. 294 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.039 Yeah, but he's got a little bit more of a 295 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.799 f you mentality than most a waka right now. Yeah, 296 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:42.159 like get out of my way on rebounding. 297 00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:43.879 The funny thing about it, you look at him, like 298 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:45.480 sitting next he's. 299 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:47.960 Just a dude. Yeah, but he's just a he's at 300 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:49.759 a little bit right geral giant. 301 00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:51.720 So Steve, I've got to ask you, So, how long 302 00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:54.159 did it take you to get to the point where 303 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.639 you felt comfortable in these scenarios? Like you go into 304 00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:57.960 it because we've talked about this. You don't want to 305 00:12:57.960 --> 00:12:59.440 talk about stuff off air. You want to talk about 306 00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:01.320 it on here, which I think is genius, right because 307 00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:03.679 it's fresh. But when you go into a press conference 308 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:05.600 having those questions, how long did it take you? You get 309 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:07.480 to point where you're like, Okay, I don't need to 310 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:09.039 write any of this stuff down. I've got it down, 311 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.559 Like because we had a rule, you know, minor leagues, 312 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:13.440 it's a thousand at bats, you know, a thousand hours 313 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:17.600 all those things for journalists like yourself, Like was it 314 00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:19.440 over a course of like two to three years or 315 00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:20.240 did it take you like. 316 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:23.440 Ten to fifteen, ten to fifteen, Probably yeah, because I 317 00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:26.080 have notes and I did to transcribe, but I kind 318 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:28.200 of already know how my story is going to construct 319 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:30.519 it and what quotes are going to be put where, 320 00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:32.320 and blah blah blah, and I try to come up 321 00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:35.080 with funny lines hopefully to clever, you know, move the 322 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:37.559 story along, and that's how we put it together. 323 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:39.600 But it's it's doesn't come easy. You know. 324 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:41.879 I mean Today's was a little struggle for me because 325 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:44.120 I wanted to put I said, I'm not going to 326 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:47.759 make this. I can't compete with that game. No, no, no, 327 00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:50.159 I can't. I'm not I'm not going to do it justice. Yeah, 328 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:52.440 so I kind of came up with a different type 329 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:54.799 of thing. Did you read my story, Teapa? You did? 330 00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:58.200 He scored two four hundred and thirty seven points and 331 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:01.080 those three are the most important in his. 332 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.039 Career or I mean he was enjoyable. 333 00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:05.200 Yeah, and that's how I That's how I set it 334 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:07.799 up because he's played a lot of. 335 00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:09.639 Games and a lot of points and those three are 336 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:10.840 that big to him. 337 00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:14.480 Yeah, And I think we should feel special as a 338 00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:18.240 fan base that not only somebody with that caliber of 339 00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:20.639 a career has done what he did, but to say 340 00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:23.480 it at that time and to be there in that moment, 341 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:25.799 if you were there, like you go back home and 342 00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:28.440 you check that off, like as a sporting event alone 343 00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:30.320 right there.
