<v Speaker 3>eleven to number one.

13
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Huge get I guess just could keep it in the family, right, Yeah,

14
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:43.840
<v Speaker 2>And you build that you build that line right, well

15
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:46.520
<v Speaker 2>you think that you do, hope, so right, Yeah, nowadays

16
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:49.640
<v Speaker 2>it's it's probably not the same thing, but that recruitment

17
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:51.960
<v Speaker 2>line and where it goes from is a big deal, right,

18
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:54.159
<v Speaker 2>Building that trust in that community, right and the family

19
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.880
<v Speaker 2>is bought into this place. Noah obviously has for a

20
00:00:57.880 --> 00:00:59.960
<v Speaker 2>while now. I mean there were rumors that he would leave.

21
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:02.240
<v Speaker 2>I kind of bought into those rumors, which was a

22
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:05.159
<v Speaker 2>shame on me. But now he's here to stay and

23
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:07.760
<v Speaker 2>he's got a little brother coming in, so, which is good.

24
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:09.879
<v Speaker 2>Tomorrow's signing day. I don't know if you have any

25
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:13.079
<v Speaker 2>new potential signings, but tomorrow's a big day with the signings.

26
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:17.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, not much from the signings. But Arizona football announces

27
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:22.519
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty five schedule. Arizona will play ten Big twelve teams,

28
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:23.640
<v Speaker 3>just like they did last year.

29
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Right right, One of them is not going to be

30
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:28.159
<v Speaker 2>on this. One of them's on the schedule, Kansas State,

31
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 2>but they're not part of the Big twelve schedule.

32
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:32.640
<v Speaker 4>Correct, they're the third game. I think you did the

33
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:35.239
<v Speaker 4>season right, so similar to what happened this year, right right,

34
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:37.799
<v Speaker 4>third game here, they're good bye here. So they open

35
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.959
<v Speaker 4>it with Hawaii, uh, and then they play Weaver State

36
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:43.719
<v Speaker 4>and then Kansas State get a bye, and then they'll

37
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:46.079
<v Speaker 4>get into the Big Twelve. Where would you rank Big

38
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:50.920
<v Speaker 4>twelve in terms of football conference? Third or fourth? Okay,

39
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:57.400
<v Speaker 4>third and fourth SEC? Big ten, Big twelve, Yeah, I

40
00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:59.200
<v Speaker 4>mean a SEC would be the other one. Whether there

41
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.439
<v Speaker 4>are any Big twelve good Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I think that'll work.

42
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.000
<v Speaker 4>I think that's fair. Yeah, I could be wrong. I

43
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:06.680
<v Speaker 4>mean I think it's just a it's a question.

44
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:11.879
<v Speaker 3>Right, Arizona Jim Katz, Alison Fears, and Elena Dietz pick

45
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.639
<v Speaker 3>up Big Twelve honors after dominant win over Denver.

46
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:18.639
<v Speaker 4>Okay, what I mean is that? Or are they ranked

47
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:20.840
<v Speaker 4>right now? Jim Kats? Yeah, I don't know. I don't

48
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.039
<v Speaker 4>know how to think. So it's fine. Just go ahead

49
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.479
<v Speaker 4>and continue because it might take some time to figure Ouah. Sorry,

50
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.280
<v Speaker 4>don't don't get yeah, don't don't. Don't worry about the

51

59
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 4>to help you. So Miles Garrett has requested a trade

60
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.439
<v Speaker 4>from the bread We had that? Yeah, I saw that. Yeah.

61
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:03.319
<v Speaker 4>Did you guys talk about it yesterday? Yeah?

62
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:06.520
<v Speaker 2>I joked that I didn't know Cleveland had a team.

63
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Worst trade of all time, Deshaun Watson, Oh, the worst

64
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:16.719
<v Speaker 2>payment for all the time. Yeah, yeah, sorry, that's not

65
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:18.759
<v Speaker 2>you're talking in the NFL. I thought you're gonna talk

66
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 2>to the NBA with that, Dallas.

67
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:22.280
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god. I don't know if I would say

68
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:23.800
<v Speaker 4>that's the worst trade of all time. I mean, it

69
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:26.520
<v Speaker 4>was surprising trade. But the more you see about it,

70
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:29.199
<v Speaker 4>more you read about it the clubhouse with Luca, I

71
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.520
<v Speaker 4>don't know if that front office liked him very much.

72
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:33.639
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if the players liked him very much.

73
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.199
<v Speaker 4>So he weighs two seventy now, yeah, and his antics

74
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.919
<v Speaker 4>in the finals last year, you didn't see a lot

75
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 4>of a lot of backing come out of that front

76
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.280
<v Speaker 4>office to back him in his his his antics during

77
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:45.840
<v Speaker 4>the finals.

78
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Right, Well, it's just if he was shocked about the trade,

79
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:49.520
<v Speaker 2>but he's excited to do it.

80
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:50.680
<v Speaker 4>So go ahead, you have something.

81
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:53.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's just in NFL Networks in a rappaport repeat

82
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.000
<v Speaker 3>reports the Rams are at least willing to eat some

83
00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.039
<v Speaker 3>of the money in a Cooper Cup trade.

84
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.280
<v Speaker 2>So does that mean he went I thought he was

85
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:02.639
<v Speaker 2>going to be traded or he's gonna get out?

86
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:04.400
<v Speaker 4>What does that mean? There's Chris.

87
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:10.759
<v Speaker 5>It says here they want to pay down, potentially paying

88
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:12.879
<v Speaker 5>down the seven point five million dollars signing bonus, which

89
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.439
<v Speaker 5>is fully guaranteed for Cup, so it will ease the

90
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.079
<v Speaker 5>burden on an acquiring team.

91
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:18.920
<v Speaker 4>So a lot of people have n't Maybe in Dallas,

92
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:19.759
<v Speaker 4>wouldn't you want him?

93
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:22.000
<v Speaker 5>I love that Dallas they said might be a contender

94
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:24.920
<v Speaker 5>for him, which makes the Raiders, Which the Raiders.

95
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:26.439
<v Speaker 4>He's only I mean, the problem is he's at that

96
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:28.680
<v Speaker 4>age where you're not gonna get a full season out

97
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:30.480
<v Speaker 4>of him. I mean, his body can't take that. But

98
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:32.920
<v Speaker 4>I mean he's still elite talent. You just getting a

00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.959
<v Speaker 2>at least one more year from Kansas City, maybe win

125

00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:04.879
<v Speaker 4>it up either. He's coming back from one more year

133
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:10.439
<v Speaker 4>no matter what, interesting, what else, anything else.

00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.120
<v Speaker 3>from the next Yeah, they definitely need a big man.

140
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:34.759
<v Speaker 4>Does this mean that Coloco gets more minutes? Probably Jobby

141
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:35.120
<v Speaker 4>for now.

142
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.360

153
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.639
<v Speaker 4>that like how that transaction happens. It's not like you're

154
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.560
<v Speaker 4>just dating some random person, like you're dating your ex

155
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.360
<v Speaker 4>teammate's wife and then Eddie Murphy's. Yeah, that's that's weird,

<v Speaker 2>Like?

158
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.959
<v Speaker 4>But I mean, like where, let's ask this question first.

159
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:31.160
<v Speaker 4>Where are you meeting these people at family Gaalleries? Yeah? Well,

160
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.519
<v Speaker 4>when your Michael Jordan's son, you're kind of annointed, you're

161
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:35.480
<v Speaker 4>kind of I guess he's got the baby crown. Huh

162
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:37.480
<v Speaker 4>yeah yeah, well now he's gonna have to wear it

163
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:39.680
<v Speaker 4>in jail, probably for a couple of days at least. Well, yeah,

164
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:43.000
<v Speaker 4>you know what the bail was? Take a guess. One

165
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:47.120
<v Speaker 4>point four thousand. Okay, Well, you asked me this last week,

166
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:48.399
<v Speaker 4>and I was way off too. I don't know why

167
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:50.000
<v Speaker 4>you asked me these ques. I'm supposed to be asking

168
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:53.199
<v Speaker 4>you the clerical questions. Four thousand dollars for bail? That

169
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.800
<v Speaker 4>was it? How much did he get caught with? I

170
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:56.040
<v Speaker 4>don't know.

171
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:58.040
<v Speaker 2>I didn't see that. I saw that smort this morning,

172
00:07:58.040 --> 00:07:59.839
<v Speaker 2>and I'm thinking, no, that's interesting. I didn't know he

173
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:04.120
<v Speaker 2>stop dating miss Pippin, but he did. I forget her

174
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:07.480
<v Speaker 2>first name. She still go by a Pippin. Yeah, I

175
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:10.439
<v Speaker 2>think so. Yeah, you know, I don't run in those

176
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:11.839
<v Speaker 2>for them, so I don't know. Hey, it's a Jordan

177
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Pippen matchup. Right, what's the greatest of all time? The

178
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Real Housewives of Tucson. Yeah, I don't. I don't follow

179
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:22.240
<v Speaker 2>a big Bravo guy. I don't need the drama. I

180
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:25.839
<v Speaker 2>don't need I already have no trouble. Yeah, let's see

181
00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:27.879
<v Speaker 2>what's going on here. I gotta forguret what I want

182
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:27.959
<v Speaker 2>to do.

183
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:29.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, listeners can't see it, but we're all over the

184
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.600
<v Speaker 4>place with the computer here. Yeah, okay, what else? What else?

185
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.240
<v Speaker 4>Tiger Woods mom passed? Yea, she was member, you know,

186
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:40.600
<v Speaker 4>and you you remember where you remember her from Tiger's

187
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:41.600
<v Speaker 4>Tiger Woods mom mom?

188
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:43.159
<v Speaker 2>Right, you said you know his dad because his dad

189
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.720
<v Speaker 2>was obvious, but his mom when he was making his

190
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.360
<v Speaker 2>confession and his mom was in the front row.

191
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:52.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, so she was eighty.

192
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:53.360
<v Speaker 4>She was eighty.

193
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:57.960
<v Speaker 3>Nfl r I says theories that officials favorite chiefs are insulting.

194
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:01.279
<v Speaker 4>Oh of course, it's one of only one and a half.

195
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.080
<v Speaker 4>I think, when do you get the game script for that?

196
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.559
<v Speaker 4>Because then, all right they passed that out with the

197
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:09.759
<v Speaker 4>day before, right, I still laugh at that stuff. Everybody

198
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:12.120
<v Speaker 4>has their thoughts on stupid stuff. I mean, I know,

199
00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:16.039
<v Speaker 4>this is kind of a just a boilerplate question. But

200
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.679
<v Speaker 4>I mean, if Mahomes wins, oh, I mean is he

201
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:21.720
<v Speaker 4>is he number two?

202
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's the funny thing about They were trying to

203
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.279
<v Speaker 2>compare him to Brady earlier today and they were saying, Brady,

204
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.000
<v Speaker 2>no matter what he does, no one who Mahomes does,

205
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:32.279
<v Speaker 2>there's no way he's even this.

206
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:33.519
<v Speaker 4>Brady's number one.

207
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:36.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that Brady's had, you know, these three different

208
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:40.000
<v Speaker 2>seasons or careers, and all of them have been great.

209
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:41.480
<v Speaker 2>He didn't win much when he was younger, but he

210
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:44.080
<v Speaker 2>won a lot later and it takes a lot for

211
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:45.279
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes to too.

212
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:47.879
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's I mean, it's a te I mean he's

213
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:53.080
<v Speaker 4>in that Burdachalon already. So yeah, okay, yeah, Kelsey, greatest

214
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:57.759
<v Speaker 4>tight end of all time. I mean, as it's gotta

215
00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:00.159
<v Speaker 4>be gronk, But yeah, I don't know about that. I

216
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:02.960
<v Speaker 4>don't know if I think still holds the It's hard

217
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:06.279
<v Speaker 4>to say in today's world of this. We also just

218
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:08.840
<v Speaker 4>want to put everything in the list, right, yeah, don't

219
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:10.360
<v Speaker 4>you do? What's your favorite show, what's your favorite move?

220
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:11.240
<v Speaker 4>What's the greatest album?

221
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:11.440
<v Speaker 6>Which?

222
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:14.000
<v Speaker 4>Right? Right? Right? No, no, no, hard to say, but

223
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:15.720
<v Speaker 4>maybe hard to say, but maybe. Ye.

224
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:17.279
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know numbers, you know, I just know

225
00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:19.320
<v Speaker 2>these good and throwing the ball, and there's a lot

226
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:21.080
<v Speaker 2>of good tight ends there are.

227
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:23.480
<v Speaker 4>It's a different it's a different position now than it was,

228
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:25.799
<v Speaker 4>say in the eighties and nineties. You ain't never used

229
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:28.320
<v Speaker 4>it till recently. Yeah, that's true. I mean they're essentially

230
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.679
<v Speaker 4>another wide receiver. Yeah, of course, why wouldn't you right,

231
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:34.360
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, you know you have six or five donkey

232
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.879
<v Speaker 4>that would run over people. So not using your leadoff hitter,

233
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:38.600
<v Speaker 4>what the what? Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. Yeah,

234
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:41.039
<v Speaker 4>it doesn't. Although the leadoff era has kind of gone

235
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:44.039
<v Speaker 4>to the wayside coming back power. Yeah, but I mean

236
00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:46.200
<v Speaker 4>now that you've you've you've added the running game back

237
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.240
<v Speaker 4>into baseball, there's a little bit more excitement. I think,

238
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:52.960
<v Speaker 4>why did they do that? They want the game to

239
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:55.559
<v Speaker 4>move right, Yeah, I mean listen, it was great. It

240
00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:58.440
<v Speaker 4>was great to watch, you know, guys hit fifty sixty

241
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:00.799
<v Speaker 4>home runs. But and that's what there's still trying to do. Yeah,

242
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.559
<v Speaker 4>but you're striking out too much. There's not runners in position. Yeah,

243
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:06.200
<v Speaker 4>you want to see the We know baseball's boring, right,

244
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:08.759
<v Speaker 4>I mean that's pretty much I love it. It's my

245
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:10.679
<v Speaker 4>favorite thing in the world. But at the same time,

246
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:12.679
<v Speaker 4>like you want to see guys move, I want to

247
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:13.600
<v Speaker 4>see guys steal bases.

248
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:15.840
<v Speaker 2>People need to have some kind of thing their eyes

249
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:17.679
<v Speaker 2>need to do something. Yeah, right, No, I get that.

250
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:19.759
<v Speaker 2>It's funny because I think they're talking now with college

251
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:22.919
<v Speaker 2>basketball and you cause you watch it, games are no

252
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.360
<v Speaker 2>longer two hours, they're two fifteen, they're two twenty. That's

253
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:28.759
<v Speaker 2>an issue for TV slots. Oh yeah, absolutely.

254
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:33.399
<v Speaker 4>I mean the media timeout timed with the actual timeout

255
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.799
<v Speaker 4>going back to back, where you get maybe thirty seconds

256
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:38.639
<v Speaker 4>of gameplay. Even for me, it's like, okay, let's get

257
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:39.399
<v Speaker 4>this call, let's go.

258
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:45.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I wants you over runner on tonight's replay four four.

259
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:47.840
<v Speaker 2>That takes some time, and then the media ten Like

260
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:50.240
<v Speaker 2>you say, it's going to be about two twenty tonight. Yeah,

261
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:54.320
<v Speaker 2>you know it's I think that's a that's a problem.

262
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:57.440
<v Speaker 2>So when you have that discussion, you're looking at the average.

263
00:11:57.480 --> 00:11:59.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean could be you're gonna have to look this up,

264
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:02.440
<v Speaker 2>but average Major League Baseball game time now is somewhere

265
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:04.679
<v Speaker 2>close to two and a half to forty five. Yeah,

266
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:07.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you're when you start getting basketball in the

267
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:09.799
<v Speaker 2>same breath as as a major league baseball game. That's

268
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:16.440
<v Speaker 2>great for baseball, bad for basketball. Yeah, yeah, what are

269
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:17.000
<v Speaker 2>you looking up.

270
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:18.720
<v Speaker 7>For?

271
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:21.519
<v Speaker 4>What for an average major league baseball game?

272
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:22.320
<v Speaker 8>Now?

273
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:24.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I thought it was like two and a half

274
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:26.639
<v Speaker 4>two it's short and quite a bit to Yeah, the

275
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:28.240
<v Speaker 4>Yankees still have to play the Red Sox and those

276
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:32.120
<v Speaker 4>games take six days. The fights and stuff, yeah yeah,

277
00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:34.799
<v Speaker 4>did you ever get in a fight? We just talked? No, no, no, no, no, no.

278
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:38.639
<v Speaker 2>I didn't meant to see that, did you How I

279
00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:42.639
<v Speaker 2>wanted to say this, not personally. Did I ever hit

280
00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:43.480
<v Speaker 2>anybody on purpose?

281
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.279
<v Speaker 4>Asked me. I didn't know how to say that. Yeah,

282
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:48.440
<v Speaker 4>well you can just say okay, yeah, nobody's gonna come

283
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:51.480
<v Speaker 4>after me anymore. I think I might have dotted a

284
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:53.960
<v Speaker 4>couple of guys on purpose, but never had hunted. I

285
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.039
<v Speaker 4>never had a hunted none purpose. I would black guys

286
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.200
<v Speaker 4>off the play, but I had I had more hit

287
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.320
<v Speaker 4>by pitches than I did walk for the fight. No,

288
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:03.440
<v Speaker 4>these baseball fights are kind of like, you know, what

289
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:05.879
<v Speaker 4>are you say, a bunch of pans? I don't know.

290
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.039
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I know some of them are pretty serious

291
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:11.519
<v Speaker 4>in the air and slugs and you know.

292
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:14.840
<v Speaker 3>The MLB average game time drops a two hours and

293
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:16.919
<v Speaker 3>thirty six minutes, lowest since ninety.

294
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so that makes But it's funny because I've gone

295
00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:21.559
<v Speaker 2>to a couple since this time, and I'm thinking, you're

296
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:22.720
<v Speaker 2>spending X amount.

297
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:24.679
<v Speaker 4>Of money whatever it is. It's almost like you don't

298
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.279
<v Speaker 4>get your money's worth. So that was my argument. Like,

299
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:30.480
<v Speaker 4>as a fan, I think you're as a true flat fan,

300
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.519
<v Speaker 4>I think you're losing some of that and the experience

301
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:35.519
<v Speaker 4>of the baseball game. Everybody knows you're not watching every

302
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.120
<v Speaker 4>single pitch unless you're a social event. It's a social event.

303
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:42.399
<v Speaker 4>So like it, I think you're losing a little bit

304
00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:44.440
<v Speaker 4>of that too. But it's still a cheaper ticket to

305
00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:46.600
<v Speaker 4>go into a baseball game than his NBA or nfls.

306
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.080
<v Speaker 2>Why do you think that the NBA is diminishing the

307
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:51.000
<v Speaker 2>audience or whatever?

308
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:51.279
<v Speaker 6>The view?

309
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:53.360
<v Speaker 4>We talked about this a little bit. It's I think

310
00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:56.240
<v Speaker 4>it's it's a confusing schedule for an average fan. Now

311
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:59.320
<v Speaker 4>you have a middle season tournament, their playoffs last for

312
00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:02.600
<v Speaker 4>a month and a half more and more two months,

313
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:04.840
<v Speaker 4>and now you're you're watching teams like the Celtics that

314
00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:08.200
<v Speaker 4>are averaging forty three pointers a game again, like you

315
00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:12.240
<v Speaker 4>miss that and everybody's everybody's friends, right, and then you

316
00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:13.960
<v Speaker 4>get to pick and choose when you want to be traded.

317
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:16.559
<v Speaker 4>Most likely you have a top three. It's just it's

318
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:18.559
<v Speaker 4>not the same kind of dynasties when.

319
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:24.639
<v Speaker 2>The money play apart the Miami guy Butler wanting to

320
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:27.279
<v Speaker 2>get out and get into the number making fifty million,

321
00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:28.440
<v Speaker 2>I want more, YadA YadA.

322
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:31.519
<v Speaker 4>But people are just say no, I'm tired. I'm just tired.

323
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:33.639
<v Speaker 4>I've had enough. I think it's a great argument that

324
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:35.840
<v Speaker 4>you're making. And I've said this before that I'm all

325
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:38.799
<v Speaker 4>for players. As a player, I'm all four players get

326
00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:42.440
<v Speaker 4>paid as much as you possibly can. Your career is short, uh, people,

327
00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:45.000
<v Speaker 4>people are going to treat you like property, like trading,

328
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:48.399
<v Speaker 4>so you I get but when you sign a contract

329
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:51.639
<v Speaker 4>that you're getting paid close to fifteen million dollars a year.

330
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:55.360
<v Speaker 4>The average Frian. We like people are waking up at

331
00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:57.240
<v Speaker 4>four o'clock in the morning and go and working jobs.

332
00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:59.600
<v Speaker 4>I hate right to put food on the table. People

333
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:02.519
<v Speaker 4>don't want to hear you bitch and complain about I

334
00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:04.840
<v Speaker 4>think that's an issue. I think that's one hundred. Yeah,

335
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:06.799
<v Speaker 4>it should be a to what level I don't, And

336
00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:08.240
<v Speaker 4>you get to choose the games you're not going to

337
00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:09.639
<v Speaker 4>play in. You want to take a you want to

338
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:11.120
<v Speaker 4>take a rest day. When I spend one hundred and

339
00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:13.159
<v Speaker 4>fifty dollars for a ticket that I might never see

340
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:15.080
<v Speaker 4>an NBA game again, and I came to see you

341
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:18.000
<v Speaker 4>and you're not playing because you're tired, right, Yeah, that's

342
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:21.559

<v Speaker 4>I'm like, yeah, that could be honest. This is Jim Small.

477

00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:54.000
<v Speaker 2>my guy, here, are you guys nervous?

483
00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:56.200

<v Speaker 12>Oh, we're so pumped.

485
00:21:58.319 --> 00:22:02.319
<v Speaker 16>And first of all, thank you Steve and Blake and Steve,

486
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:04.839
<v Speaker 16>thank you for having me back. You know, it may

487
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:06.960
<v Speaker 16>surprise you. A lot of people don't really care much

488
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:09.319
<v Speaker 16>about what I have to say, particularly around my own home.

489
00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:12.119
<v Speaker 4>So I am happy to talk.

490
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:15.640
<v Speaker 16>My ear ears off about baseball in general, the World

491
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:19.480
<v Speaker 16>Baseball Classic in particular. Yeah, we're pumped, like you know,

492
00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:22.039
<v Speaker 16>the thing and I mentioned this to you guys before

493
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:23.599
<v Speaker 16>when last week talked.

494
00:22:24.039 --> 00:22:28.480
<v Speaker 4>You know, the WBC is something really special, right.

495
00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:33.559
<v Speaker 16>It's it's players playing for their country and that is

496
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:36.279
<v Speaker 16>just special, and that's different, and they do things and

497
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:39.400
<v Speaker 16>they act differently than they would for the regular team,

498
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:41.960
<v Speaker 16>whether that's the major league team or our college team

499
00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:44.960
<v Speaker 16>or whatnot. So to be able to bring that energy

500
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:49.440
<v Speaker 16>to Tucson, an to Taipei, which will be the week

501
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:53.599
<v Speaker 16>before Tucson, is really special. So we can't wait for it.

502
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:57.039
<v Speaker 16>We know we've got people in Tucson are excited about that.

503
00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:59.880
<v Speaker 16>You know, Blake had me out there last week and

504
00:22:59.880 --> 00:23:02.440
<v Speaker 16>I got to Bob Hoffman invited us out to the

505
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:05.319
<v Speaker 16>road Runners game, and I just saw the enthusiasm there,

506
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:09.480
<v Speaker 16>you know, for sports in general. But I had people

507
00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:11.839
<v Speaker 16>coming up to me to talk about the WBC because

508
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:14.480
<v Speaker 16>they ran a little promo on it, and I think

509
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:16.160
<v Speaker 16>two sons ready for it. I think it's going to

510
00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:16.559
<v Speaker 16>be great.

511
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:19.039
<v Speaker 4>You guys have experienced this before.

512
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:21.599
<v Speaker 2>My first time experiencing this was I think I said

513
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:24.880
<v Speaker 2>to you, Jim, back in Miami two thousand and eight ish.

514
00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:25.640
<v Speaker 4>I think it was.

515
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:28.039
<v Speaker 2>I had didn't know anything about it, went to a

516
00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:32.079
<v Speaker 2>game and I'm thinking, holy crap, this is fun. I mean,

517
00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:37.079
<v Speaker 2>you had the nationalities bands and craziness and fun, and

518
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:39.519
<v Speaker 2>there happened to be a pretty good baseball game, right,

519
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:42.000
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sure that's what you're hoping for it, that's.

520
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:44.880
<v Speaker 16>What you're hoping for exactly exactly right. You know, we

521
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:49.640
<v Speaker 16>call it the Fiesta or the Festival of baseball, depending

522
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:53.240
<v Speaker 16>on which language we're using. And it's true. It is

523
00:23:54.359 --> 00:23:57.519
<v Speaker 16>the party in the stands and on the field and

524
00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:01.200
<v Speaker 16>some of the best most iconic moments that I can remember.

525
00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:03.960
<v Speaker 16>I've worked in baseball for forty years and got to

526
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:07.839
<v Speaker 16>see some really cool things and World Series and All

527
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:10.799
<v Speaker 16>Star games, and you know, it just ranks right up

528
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:13.000
<v Speaker 16>with them, and so and it's not just me saying that.

529
00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:16.240
<v Speaker 16>The players that say that, you know, the guys coming

530
00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:19.519
<v Speaker 16>out of the last WUBC, you know, big name guys

531
00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:22.319
<v Speaker 16>that had played in World Series before talked about this

532
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:25.599
<v Speaker 16>being the highlight of their careers, including show Heyodani. So

533
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:28.640
<v Speaker 16>that's pretty special and we're really excited to bring that

534
00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:29.240
<v Speaker 16>to Tucson.

535
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:33.000
<v Speaker 4>And each of them bring out their own special of

536
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:36.240
<v Speaker 4>spice from their nationality, you know what I'm saying, it's

537
00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:40.240
<v Speaker 4>it's who they are, I mean, their identity. Yeah, that's

538
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:41.200
<v Speaker 4>exactly right.

539
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:44.319
<v Speaker 16>And what's so cool And I'm in a very unique

540
00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:46.880
<v Speaker 16>position and that I get to go to all the

541
00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:50.359
<v Speaker 16>venues and I get to see and I'm very lucky.

542
00:24:50.359 --> 00:24:52.000
<v Speaker 16>I've been doing this since the first one in two

543
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:55.039
<v Speaker 16>thousand and six, so I've seen the way the Japanese

544
00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:59.720
<v Speaker 16>and the Koreans and the Taiwanese, you know, consume this

545
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:01.839
<v Speaker 16>what they do. But I also get to see it,

546
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:04.920
<v Speaker 16>you know, in San Juan and in Miami and Houston

547
00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:07.920
<v Speaker 16>and now in Tucson and see you know different people

548
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:10.839
<v Speaker 16>like you said, you know, they bring your own flavor

549
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:15.720
<v Speaker 16>their character to the game, and that's it's the same game,

550
00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:19.759
<v Speaker 16>but it's played in different ways and celebrated differently in

551
00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:22.000
<v Speaker 16>different places of the world. You know, we like to

552
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:25.119
<v Speaker 16>say baseball is America's pastime, but it belongs to the

553
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:28.440
<v Speaker 16>world and it has for for several years now.

554
00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:31.160
<v Speaker 4>How did this marriage happen? How did how did you

555
00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:33.440
<v Speaker 4>fall into this? If that makes any sense, Blake, Yeah,

556
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:35.839
<v Speaker 4>between Jim and I. Yeah, or just because you're now

557
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:39.200
<v Speaker 4>the head you're kindly here? Yeah, how did this? I mean,

558
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:41.839
<v Speaker 4>Jim knows this and we've talked about it, you know,

559
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:44.960
<v Speaker 4>multiple times. But uh, we're really fortunate to have some

560
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:47.400
<v Speaker 4>people in our in our corner with Dan Schneider and

561
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:51.000
<v Speaker 4>Tom Tracy that had connections with Derek Hall and Ken

562
00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:54.759
<v Speaker 4>Kendrick with the Diamondbacks and Major League Baseball, and so

563
00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:58.319
<v Speaker 4>when it was time to go after the qualifiers, it

564
00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:01.319
<v Speaker 4>kind of fell in our lap. And then we we

565
00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:03.960
<v Speaker 4>decided to go after it, and we put in a

566
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:05.359
<v Speaker 4>bed and we've worked with Jim and we had to

567
00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:08.359
<v Speaker 4>beat out what is it, eight or ten cities? Yeah,

568
00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:11.759
<v Speaker 4>and fortunately we we did a really good job on

569
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:13.880
<v Speaker 4>a community effort here and we continue to do a

570
00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:16.559
<v Speaker 4>good job on a community effort. What do you think

571
00:26:16.599 --> 00:26:17.680
<v Speaker 4>sold what was sold?

572
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:24.240
<v Speaker 16>It asked Jim, Jim, you know what it was, this

573
00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:28.039
<v Speaker 16>this amazing like, yeah, we can get that done. And

574
00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:30.920
<v Speaker 16>everybody it's not just Blake. I mean, Blake is amazing, right,

575
00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:34.000
<v Speaker 16>and and he's been the one that spearheaded all of

576
00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:37.640
<v Speaker 16>this stuff. And and look, we're not easy to deal with, right.

577
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:40.640
<v Speaker 16>We have a lot of needs. We have, we travel heavy,

578
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:44.519
<v Speaker 16>we have you know, we recreate a major league experience

579
00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:48.319
<v Speaker 16>with these players, and and Blake and everybody else has

580
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:51.359
<v Speaker 16>been just like, yep, we can do that. So you know,

581
00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:54.640
<v Speaker 16>Sarah Horvat, you know the people at Keino, you know

582
00:26:55.039 --> 00:27:00.240
<v Speaker 16>Dan and Tom that that Blake mentioned, you know, so

583
00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:03.039
<v Speaker 16>that like everybody that we that is part of this

584
00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:08.079
<v Speaker 16>coalition that's come together sold us, you know, basically from

585
00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:10.119
<v Speaker 16>the beginning, you know, to see But I think I

586
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:13.079
<v Speaker 16>mentioned that we were we were hopeful to be able

587
00:27:13.079 --> 00:27:15.400
<v Speaker 16>to do this a few years ago, and basically five

588
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:17.839
<v Speaker 16>years ago, we were we were all in Tucson, We're

589
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:20.680
<v Speaker 16>staying out La Paloma. We had a bunch of teams

590
00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:22.599
<v Speaker 16>in town, and then the world changed and we had

591
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:25.720
<v Speaker 16>to pack everyone up and send them out. And I

592
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:29.160
<v Speaker 16>think I mentioned then it's like this is not to

593
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:31.920
<v Speaker 16>make good for that right. Yes, we would love to

594
00:27:31.920 --> 00:27:34.240
<v Speaker 16>come back. We want we were we were sad that

595
00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:36.960
<v Speaker 16>we disappointed the fans and they couldn't see you know,

596
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:41.039
<v Speaker 16>the WBC. But you know, part of this is is, look,

597
00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:43.039
<v Speaker 16>this is a business, right, and we have to make

598
00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:46.200
<v Speaker 16>sure that we're going to the best place for the players,

599
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:50.559
<v Speaker 16>for the fans, for everything, and and and Tucson. You know,

600
00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:53.039
<v Speaker 16>Blake and everybody commenced us that that Tucson is the

601
00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:56.039
<v Speaker 16>right place, and everything I've seen since we made that

602
00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:57.960
<v Speaker 16>decision last year has backed that up.

603
00:27:58.119 --> 00:28:00.880
<v Speaker 2>So to both of you, this is hopefully maybe not

604
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:03.200
<v Speaker 2>locally for one off. I mean, if they do really

605
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:05.880
<v Speaker 2>well and pardon the pun but knock it out of

606
00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:07.519
<v Speaker 2>the park, it could happen again here.

607
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:09.640
<v Speaker 4>I mean, that's a plan, right. We want to build

608
00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:11.440
<v Speaker 4>this relationship and we want to continue to grow it

609
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:14.279
<v Speaker 4>for the long term. Whatever we costantly can have from

610
00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:17.319
<v Speaker 4>a cross market to standpoint from Tucson and the World

611
00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:20.200
<v Speaker 4>Baseball Classic and major League Baseball is what we're here for.

612
00:28:20.319 --> 00:28:22.599
<v Speaker 4>We've and I've shared this with you, Steve and Jim.

613
00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:25.920
<v Speaker 4>You know this. We we haven't had major League Baseball

614
00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:28.680
<v Speaker 4>since two thousand and nine. That's been our backbone in

615
00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:32.640
<v Speaker 4>southern Arizona. We are so happy and lucky to have

616
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:36.960
<v Speaker 4>Jim and Mickey and Nelson, you know, doing what they're

617
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:39.359
<v Speaker 4>doing on their side and choosing Tucson to give us

618
00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:42.559
<v Speaker 4>opportunity to open that door back up for whatever may

619
00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:49.000
<v Speaker 4>come and build a strong relationship for the sustainable future. Yeah. No,

620
00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:49.559
<v Speaker 4>w Yeah.

621
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:52.559
<v Speaker 16>And just to add to that absolutely, I mean, you know,

622
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:54.720
<v Speaker 16>you got to get the first one done, and you

623
00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:56.519
<v Speaker 16>know we still have some work to do, all of

624
00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:01.880
<v Speaker 16>us working together. But you know, we love the idea

625
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:04.680
<v Speaker 16>of you know, coming back to two on it. That's

626
00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:08.359
<v Speaker 16>that's what presents itself and we certainly are are you know,

627
00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:10.640
<v Speaker 16>keeping an open mind to that and we just you know,

628
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:12.759
<v Speaker 16>we can't wait to see where we are in a

629
00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:13.240
<v Speaker 16>month or so.

630
00:29:13.359 --> 00:29:15.680
<v Speaker 2>It's funny you brought this up, Jim and you talked

631
00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:17.960
<v Speaker 2>about five years ago, and I remember that because we

632
00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:20.519
<v Speaker 2>had some of the local dignitaries on the on the

633
00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:23.200
<v Speaker 2>on the show and we didn't know what was going

634
00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:26.519
<v Speaker 2>to happen, guys who did right and they were excited

635
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:30.119
<v Speaker 2>the county and then all of a sudden everything was gone,

636
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:32.799
<v Speaker 2>everything was gone. So that must have been disheartening for

637
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:35.960
<v Speaker 2>everybody involved, because you're on the verge, on the verge,

638
00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:37.160
<v Speaker 2>and then it just doesn't happen.

639
00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:40.400
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, it was, and it was you know, we had

640
00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:44.400
<v Speaker 16>teams we ran a different event then and that we

641
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:47.039
<v Speaker 16>were bringing twelve teams and you know, two back to

642
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:50.440
<v Speaker 16>back consecutive tandem events with six teams each. And so

643
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:54.279
<v Speaker 16>we had teams from Europe already in town, and we

644
00:29:54.359 --> 00:29:56.960
<v Speaker 16>had a bunch of teams that were sitting in Europe

645
00:29:57.079 --> 00:30:00.720
<v Speaker 16>waiting to come in for that second round. And you know,

646
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:03.319
<v Speaker 16>we basically we had to get everyone out before the

647
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:06.759
<v Speaker 16>you know, the travel stop between the US and Europe,

648
00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:09.200
<v Speaker 16>and you know, it was a scary time all of us.

649
00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:12.759
<v Speaker 16>You know, you know, nobody knew kind of what the

650
00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:16.000
<v Speaker 16>world was. And so sometimes, you know, baseball and sports

651
00:30:16.039 --> 00:30:19.319
<v Speaker 16>can can play a really important part of the healing

652
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:24.799
<v Speaker 16>after a big event and after after you know, a trauma.

653
00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:27.079
<v Speaker 4>To the nation. But it wasn't going to be that.

654
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:28.480
<v Speaker 16>It was going to be you know, we had to

655
00:30:28.880 --> 00:30:31.519
<v Speaker 16>put baseball in the back seat and focus on other

656
00:30:31.599 --> 00:30:35.240
<v Speaker 16>things and make sure everybody was healthy and and and

657
00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:37.279
<v Speaker 16>and one of the things I'm really happy about was

658
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:40.359
<v Speaker 16>we came back in twenty two with the qualifiers. We

659
00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:44.920
<v Speaker 16>ended up in the twenty three tournament playing these overseas.

660
00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:47.640
<v Speaker 16>You know, we played one in Regnsburg, Germany, and one

661
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:52.039
<v Speaker 16>in Panama City, Panama. But you know, that was part

662
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:55.160
<v Speaker 16>of the recovery process. I think too, And I think

663
00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:58.400
<v Speaker 16>you saw this cathartic feeling of everybody getting together in

664
00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:01.480
<v Speaker 16>twenty you know, twenty twenty two, you know, two years after,

665
00:31:01.839 --> 00:31:05.039
<v Speaker 16>you know, COVID hit everywhere everywhere we played, you know,

666
00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:08.960
<v Speaker 16>in Taiwan and in Japan and the United States, and

667
00:31:09.400 --> 00:31:12.519
<v Speaker 16>everybody was able to get back in and enjoy baseball.

668
00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:13.960
<v Speaker 16>So it was really cool to be part of that.

669
00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:17.880
<v Speaker 4>To both of you. Then, how will measure will success

670
00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:21.039
<v Speaker 4>be measured? I mean, it's fundamentally it's going to be

671
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:23.519
<v Speaker 4>ticket sales, But I think from my standpoint, if I

672
00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:27.920
<v Speaker 4>take a step back, end up being completely honest, it's

673
00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:30.440
<v Speaker 4>due to Jim's patience and Nelson and Mickey's patients on

674
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:33.200
<v Speaker 4>the World Baseball Classic side. But we've got nine entities

675
00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:35.480
<v Speaker 4>working on this one singular thing together. I don't think

676
00:31:35.480 --> 00:31:38.839
<v Speaker 4>that's ever happened in southern Arizona, where you have visit Tucson,

677
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:42.440
<v Speaker 4>PMA County Kino Sports Complex, Mexican Baseball FSSKO DOG Arizona

678
00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:46.720
<v Speaker 4>ball US raul Gary Lanston, Like, there's so many people

679
00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:49.000
<v Speaker 4>at the table and we're all pulling in the same direction.

680
00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:54.519
<v Speaker 4>Ray Flaores. I mean, you have this great camaraderie all

681
00:31:54.640 --> 00:31:57.480
<v Speaker 4>for the singular goal of this is an event that

682
00:31:57.519 --> 00:31:59.720
<v Speaker 4>we haven't had in so long that we need to

683
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:02.240
<v Speaker 4>pull forward, and you're doing that and that's a huge

684
00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:02.799
<v Speaker 4>success in.

685
00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:04.960
<v Speaker 2>My mind to that point, Jim, and I'm kind of

686
00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:07.680
<v Speaker 2>interrupting my question to you, but to that point, is

687
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:10.759
<v Speaker 2>that unlike other places that you've dealt with or is

688
00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:11.359
<v Speaker 2>it common?

689
00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:16.160
<v Speaker 16>Oh, it's very unusual and it's very special and it's

690
00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:18.759
<v Speaker 16>you you you know, the way we.

691
00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:19.960
<v Speaker 4>Have set this up.

692
00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:22.119
<v Speaker 16>I'll give you a time one as an example. We

693
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:25.079
<v Speaker 16>do have a promoter there. It's a business sports marketing firm,

694
00:32:26.839 --> 00:32:30.799
<v Speaker 16>and then they have some you know involvement from uh

695
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:33.599
<v Speaker 16>from the government there, but but not much. You know,

696
00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:38.640
<v Speaker 16>what we have in Tucson is really, as Blake said this,

697
00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:43.160
<v Speaker 16>this you know, coalition of a really smart, like minded

698
00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:46.640
<v Speaker 16>people that want to that that that are very proud

699
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:49.519
<v Speaker 16>of where they live and and really proud to show

700
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:51.400
<v Speaker 16>that off. I mean, I think That's the thing I

701
00:32:51.720 --> 00:32:54.599
<v Speaker 16>get most excited about every time I go to Tucson.

702
00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:57.759
<v Speaker 16>It's just like how proud people are of being from

703
00:32:57.880 --> 00:33:02.000
<v Speaker 16>southern Arizona and being from Tucson, and and they want

704
00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:04.039
<v Speaker 16>to show it off. And you know, we get the

705
00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:06.640
<v Speaker 16>chance to team with them to show Tucson to the

706
00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:09.000
<v Speaker 16>world by bringing the world to Tucson. So I think

707
00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:10.960
<v Speaker 16>that's a really cool opportunity for us.

708
00:33:11.079 --> 00:33:13.759
<v Speaker 2>Right, so you're in Manhattan, and you know you're not

709
00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:18.039
<v Speaker 2>in Manhattan anymore in Tucson when you're visiting obviously, Right,

710
00:33:18.359 --> 00:33:21.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm curious Blake and Jim the price points. You know

711
00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:26.200
<v Speaker 2>how important that is. The facilities who are to go

712
00:33:26.279 --> 00:33:29.119
<v Speaker 2>to play. There's some some issue, you know what I'm saying.

713
00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Did you guys figure that out or how did you.

714
00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:33.759
<v Speaker 4>Figure that out? Yeah? I mean it took a group

715
00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:35.240
<v Speaker 4>to figure that out. But you're right, it's a different

716
00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:37.240
<v Speaker 4>demographic here in southern Arizona and we had to be

717
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:39.599
<v Speaker 4>aware of that, and we want to be aware. And

718
00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:41.720
<v Speaker 4>the one thing I looked at is like me when

719
00:33:41.759 --> 00:33:43.200
<v Speaker 4>I was a kid, where I grew up, you know,

720
00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:45.559
<v Speaker 4>across the street from Flowing Wells Junior High. I want

721
00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:48.319
<v Speaker 4>to make sure that everybody has a chance to go

722
00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:50.400
<v Speaker 4>to those games, right and can afford it. It's not

723
00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:52.319
<v Speaker 4>something we want to put you know, the people and

724
00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:54.799
<v Speaker 4>you know I was the person right right, So I

725
00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:57.759
<v Speaker 4>was that person and I'm thankful for my parents to

726
00:33:57.799 --> 00:33:59.079
<v Speaker 4>do what they had to do to make sure I

727
00:33:59.079 --> 00:34:02.039
<v Speaker 4>had opportunities. And we want the same thing for Tucson.

728
00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:04.599
<v Speaker 4>We want everybody. This isn't We're not trying to say

729
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:07.119
<v Speaker 4>we want to go after this singular demographic or that

730
00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:09.800
<v Speaker 4>it's it's everybody in our region to have the opportunity.

731
00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:11.320
<v Speaker 4>That's why we're doing the Kids in the Park days.

732
00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:12.719
<v Speaker 4>You know, we talked about that a little bit earlier.

733
00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:14.800
<v Speaker 4>Is that you know, we've got over three thousand kids

734
00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:18.679
<v Speaker 4>coming from all different school districts to experience that, to

735
00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:20.639
<v Speaker 4>have that play because you might never ever get it again,

736
00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:22.519
<v Speaker 4>and it's a core memory that we want to build on,

737
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:24.400
<v Speaker 4>right yeah.

738
00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:26.960
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, And that's consistent like what we want the WBC

739
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:29.639
<v Speaker 16>to be for everybody. So you know, we work closely

740
00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:31.880
<v Speaker 16>with with Blake and every one to make sure that

741
00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:36.000
<v Speaker 16>we have price points for everybody. It's if you you know,

742
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:38.280
<v Speaker 16>if you can't afford and you're like a little bit,

743
00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:40.320
<v Speaker 16>you know, a higher end seat. You know we have

744
00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:43.079

<v Speaker 16>it's like you just want to be in the park

748
00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:52.519
<v Speaker 16>guys did a really good job. And to your point,

749
00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:55.159
<v Speaker 16>we deferred to them because they knew no.

750
00:34:55.320 --> 00:34:58.039
<v Speaker 2>Two soon right before we asked my last question or

751
00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:00.320

753
00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:05.400
<v Speaker 2>I've given given the fact that I don't want to

00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:08.199
<v Speaker 2>be wally pipped here because my guy blike here is

755
00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:09.519
<v Speaker 2>pretty good on the radio. I don't want to get

756
00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Wally piped in. You know, I'm looking for a job tomorrow.

757
00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:17.639
<v Speaker 16>He's really good. I'm surprised radio is the better radio

758
00:35:17.639 --> 00:35:18.159
<v Speaker 16>guy than he.

759
00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:18.639
<v Speaker 4>Is a golfer.

760
00:35:18.679 --> 00:35:23.679
<v Speaker 2>I can oh wow, okay, well that's inside. So Jim,

761
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:27.000
<v Speaker 2>you've been in this game for forty years. Where did

762
00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:29.159
<v Speaker 2>you grow up at one and two? What did you

763
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:31.519
<v Speaker 2>want to do when you grew up? Because come on,

764
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:35.440
<v Speaker 2>you're living my dream many people, because if you're not

765
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:37.960
<v Speaker 2>a ball player, you're doing exactly what you're doing.

766
00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:40.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm so lucky.

767
00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:44.360
<v Speaker 16>I grew up in north of Boston and was Red

768
00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:46.679
<v Speaker 16>Sox fand but loved all sports. And then I got

769
00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:49.880
<v Speaker 16>into this really by by chance. I was a journalist

770
00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:52.840
<v Speaker 16>a major at the University of Kansas, and I got

771
00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:54.960
<v Speaker 16>a job in the cheer department with the Royals, and

772
00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:57.280
<v Speaker 16>then that led to a full time job with the Cubs,

773
00:35:57.320 --> 00:35:59.480
<v Speaker 16>and then the Rangers and the Christ's office and then

774
00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:02.000
<v Speaker 16>the Internet national business after that. So you know, when

775
00:36:02.039 --> 00:36:03.840
<v Speaker 16>I say to people that want to work in sports,

776
00:36:03.880 --> 00:36:06.559
<v Speaker 16>if anyone's out there, and you know, go for it, right.

777
00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:09.320
<v Speaker 16>It is a great, great way to make a living.

778
00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:12.360
<v Speaker 16>It's not every day that I get to sit at

779
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:15.079
<v Speaker 16>work and watch TV, but in some days I get

780
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:17.360
<v Speaker 16>to sit at work and watch TV. So it's a

781
00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:19.800
<v Speaker 16>pretty good way to wait make a living. And you know,

782
00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:23.360
<v Speaker 16>we have at MLB alone, we have, you know, fourteen

783
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:27.079
<v Speaker 16>hundred employees. When I started, you know, the Commercia's office

784
00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:29.360
<v Speaker 16>in nineteen eighty seven, there was about fifty employees, so

785
00:36:29.800 --> 00:36:33.679
<v Speaker 16>it's expanded. There's a lot of opportunities. University Arizona is

786
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:36.840
<v Speaker 16>a is a great program, and you know, and have

787
00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:40.519
<v Speaker 16>people working in sports. You know all over the world,

788
00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:43.800
<v Speaker 16>and you know, it's a great way to make a living.

789
00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:45.159
<v Speaker 4>So I'm lucky.

790
00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:49.320
<v Speaker 16>I appreciate that what I get every day, and it's

791
00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:51.599
<v Speaker 16>it's it's accessible for the people.

792
00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:52.920
<v Speaker 4>So go for it. Yeah, no, I don't.

793
00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:55.079
<v Speaker 2>Just you took a different path in journalism, and that's

794
00:36:55.159 --> 00:36:57.880
<v Speaker 2>kind of the new path because journalism is different now

795
00:36:58.079 --> 00:36:59.840
<v Speaker 2>it was forty years ago. Because I was part of that,

796
00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:02.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm now going to be a PR person for a team.

797
00:37:03.000 --> 00:37:05.159
<v Speaker 2>And then moving up. I have two of my interns

798
00:37:05.159 --> 00:37:08.079
<v Speaker 2>are from Manhattan. They're actually here at Ubay from Manhattan,

799
00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:10.440
<v Speaker 2>and they've done a great job and they have that experience,

800
00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:12.519
<v Speaker 2>and I tell him, get your stuff out, be as

801
00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:15.000
<v Speaker 2>out there as you can and try a lot of

802
00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:16.079
<v Speaker 2>different things.

803
00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:19.239
<v Speaker 16>Yep, that's exactly knocking every door and see what opens.

804
00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:20.679
<v Speaker 16>And they have the courage to walk through.

805
00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:22.800
<v Speaker 4>It when it opened, right right. Well, Jim, I guess

806
00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:24.920
<v Speaker 4>we'll see you in a few weeks already, Well, we

00:37:28.599 --> 00:37:31.119

810
00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:33.000
<v Speaker 4>need to have him there and his Japanese. I mean

00:39:10.559 --> 00:39:12.039

847
00:39:12.039 --> 00:39:15.320
<v Speaker 2>twenty five former players, coaches, and friends to give insight

848
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:17.679
<v Speaker 2>to the coach and the man who led them, competed

849
00:39:17.679 --> 00:39:20.320
<v Speaker 2>against them, and inspired them. Twenty five chapters for his

850
00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:24.000

940
00:43:46.599 --> 00:43:49.199
<v Speaker 4>but we've talked about it off air. Becomes becomes a

941
00:43:49.199 --> 00:43:51.760
<v Speaker 4>lot easier, and it's it's a magnitude of sports things,

942
00:43:51.800 --> 00:43:54.920
<v Speaker 4>but it has to happen. Well, here's nothing. I got

943
00:43:54.920 --> 00:43:56.880
<v Speaker 4>here in eighty seven. And I don't want to say

944
00:43:56.880 --> 00:43:59.679
<v Speaker 4>it was a sleepy town, but it was a lot sleepier. Yeah,

945
00:43:59.719 --> 00:44:02.280
<v Speaker 4>and now you're making what one and a half million?

946
00:44:02.559 --> 00:44:05.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, one point one four night? Okay, so what a half?

947
00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:08.480
<v Speaker 2>It's not that town it was forty years ago, thirty

948
00:44:08.480 --> 00:44:11.559
<v Speaker 2>seven years ago. Now you have people not just from Tucson,

949
00:44:11.800 --> 00:44:14.760
<v Speaker 2>from over other places who have interests and who have

950
00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:17.800
<v Speaker 2>loves for sports and a variety of things to do.

951
00:44:18.199 --> 00:44:20.480
<v Speaker 2>And this is right in the wheel loss for many.

952
00:44:20.760 --> 00:44:22.440
<v Speaker 4>And you think about it, and I mean within an

953
00:44:22.440 --> 00:44:24.800
<v Speaker 4>hour of Tucson, you've got another four hundred thousand people

954
00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:28.480
<v Speaker 4>down down to South. You're talking about no Gallas, Noora,

955
00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:31.800
<v Speaker 4>You're talking about Sierra Vista, casser Grande. The way that's growing,

956
00:44:31.800 --> 00:44:34.480
<v Speaker 4>I mean, Panal County is blowing up right. So I mean,

957
00:44:34.519 --> 00:44:37.159
<v Speaker 4>if we could create that hub, is Tucson's metro hub

958
00:44:37.199 --> 00:44:39.519
<v Speaker 4>then it becomes a lot easier. Now you're talking close

959
00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:41.400
<v Speaker 4>to two million people, yea, opposed to the one and

960
00:44:41.400 --> 00:44:43.760
<v Speaker 4>a half. Sure, okay, this guy, you're gonna call me

999
00:46:05.400 --> 00:46:07.599
<v Speaker 2>drive around it, but it's plenty of plenty of spots.

1000
00:46:07.679 --> 00:46:09.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, used to be a spot that I parked at

1001
00:46:09.920 --> 00:46:12.760
<v Speaker 4>before there's a circle k like no, No, it was

1002

1005
00:46:21.840 --> 00:46:24.719

1006
00:46:24.760 --> 00:46:26.360

<v Speaker 4>get down there early now.

1008
00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:29.800

00:47:43.719 --> 00:47:45.760
<v Speaker 4>to play eighteen holes in Japan, so you had to

1036
00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:48.519
<v Speaker 4>show up, and it was like you'd show up, you'd

1037
00:47:48.599 --> 00:47:51.559
<v Speaker 4>go sana then to do a massage, and then you'd

1038
00:47:51.559 --> 00:47:53.599
<v Speaker 4>have breakfast, and then you go play nine and then

1039
00:47:53.639 --> 00:47:55.400
<v Speaker 4>you have a three hour break between that nine to

1040
00:47:55.400 --> 00:47:58.239
<v Speaker 4>have lunch and hang out and do another sound standard

1041
00:47:58.320 --> 00:48:01.000
<v Speaker 4>that was like standard this. So he would have to

1042
00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:02.679
<v Speaker 4>take a full day out to go play eighteen holes

1043
00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:04.519
<v Speaker 4>of golf, Like it's wild, some of the stories from

1044
00:48:04.559 --> 00:48:07.280
<v Speaker 4>over there. Yeah, yeah, okay, that's true.

1045
00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:09.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, I've traveled a little overseas when I worked

1046
00:48:09.840 --> 00:48:12.920
<v Speaker 2>for U Saurday and and the and the Olympics covering

1047
00:48:12.960 --> 00:48:13.440
<v Speaker 2>the Olympics.

1048
00:48:13.519 --> 00:48:14.760
<v Speaker 4>So in Greece it was kind of like that.

1049
00:48:14.880 --> 00:48:18.039
<v Speaker 2>It's like, not like here, when you go to a restaurant,

1050
00:48:18.440 --> 00:48:20.159
<v Speaker 2>they come and get you the feed of your food day

1051
00:48:20.159 --> 00:48:21.519
<v Speaker 2>once you in and out, boom bom boo boom.

1052
00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:23.440

1055
00:48:31.840 --> 00:48:33.639
<v Speaker 4>like a four hour dinner one time in Italy. That

1056
00:48:33.760 --> 00:48:36.559

1062
00:48:48.599 --> 00:48:52.719
<v Speaker 12>you can't rape people. My concessions and parking prices and

1063
00:48:52.760 --> 00:48:55.280
<v Speaker 12>ticket prices of the bad take some posts and mouth

1064
00:48:55.280 --> 00:48:55.840
<v Speaker 12>when they come.

1065
00:48:56.719 --> 00:48:58.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so let's let's talk about that. I love that.

1066
00:48:58.840 --> 00:48:58.960
<v Speaker 8>So.

1067
00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:03.199
<v Speaker 4>Uh, mission is fifteen dollars. Uh. The preferred seating is

1068
00:49:03.199 --> 00:49:07.519
<v Speaker 4>twenty five parkings five dollars. Thursday night, we've got one

1069
00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:11.119
<v Speaker 4>dollar hot dogs and two dollars beers. What's your thoughts

1070

1071
00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:17.199
<v Speaker 12>I'm just telling what you can't do is happy ople

00:49:17.239 --> 00:49:19.840
<v Speaker 12>paying like kind have a bunch of park and ten

1073
00:49:19.880 --> 00:49:21.599

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean we did a market we did a

1076
00:49:24.679 --> 00:49:26.719
<v Speaker 4>little bit of market study and research there, but I

1077
00:49:26.800 --> 00:49:28.360
<v Speaker 4>believe this is going to be the cheapest event that

1078
00:49:28.400 --> 00:49:29.119
<v Speaker 4>you're having in state.

1079
00:49:29.119 --> 00:49:30.760
<v Speaker 2>From a professional standpoint, No, I think this is a

1080
00:49:30.800 --> 00:49:33.440
<v Speaker 2>great call because that's yeah, it's true. You're in a

1081
00:49:33.880 --> 00:49:34.519
<v Speaker 2>different market.

00:49:34.599 --> 00:49:36.679
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and you want to be able to experience the event,

1083

1100
00:50:17.320 --> 00:50:20.199
<v Speaker 12>it's a bit more serious, I think, right, but.

1101
00:50:21.079 --> 00:50:21.760
<v Speaker 4>I hope it can be.

1102
00:50:21.800 --> 00:50:25.079
<v Speaker 12>It can be kind of a jovial atmosphere like that

1103
00:50:25.559 --> 00:50:26.239

<v Speaker 4>Yeah yeah, yeah, So.

1108
00:50:33.679 --> 00:50:36.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure that's kind of what was the what were

1109
00:50:36.360 --> 00:50:40.440
<v Speaker 2>the early discussions like this is what's important? Like what

1110
00:50:40.480 --> 00:50:43.840
<v Speaker 2>do you mean, like, okay, this call is places and stuff.

1111
00:50:44.000 --> 00:50:45.480
<v Speaker 2>What what's going.

1112
00:50:45.400 --> 00:50:48.079
<v Speaker 4>To make it good? Yeah, that that conversation happened. Yeah,

1113
00:50:48.119 --> 00:50:51.639
<v Speaker 4>that conversation happened eight months ago. Because you're you're right.

1114
00:50:51.719 --> 00:50:54.360
<v Speaker 4>I I originally wanted to charge ten dollars for parking,

1115
00:50:54.519 --> 00:50:58.239
<v Speaker 4>and we came back to five. And I think at

1116
00:50:58.239 --> 00:51:00.639
<v Speaker 4>that point I was so used to driving up and

1117
00:51:00.719 --> 00:51:03.719
<v Speaker 4>anywhere you park up North is forty dollars, right, So,

1118
00:51:03.840 --> 00:51:06.679
<v Speaker 4>and so it's just a different change. But yeah, those

1119
00:51:06.760 --> 00:51:09.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean, the pricing model is such a key model

1120
00:51:09.000 --> 00:51:12.079
<v Speaker 4>for us, you know, to the point where and I'm

1121
00:51:12.079 --> 00:51:14.800
<v Speaker 4>saying this openly, like if we can break even, like

1122
00:51:14.840 --> 00:51:17.360
<v Speaker 4>if the authority can break even from the standpoint, this

1123
00:51:17.440 --> 00:51:20.079
<v Speaker 4>is a huge one. And that's this is our give back.

1124
00:51:20.599 --> 00:51:22.320
<v Speaker 4>This is something that we want to continue to bring.

1125
00:51:22.400 --> 00:51:24.360
<v Speaker 4>Were you part of the first one. I wasn't part

1126
00:51:24.400 --> 00:51:29.400
<v Speaker 4>of Pema County Sports authority, Dan Schneider, Tom Tracy, and

1127
00:51:29.400 --> 00:51:30.360
<v Speaker 4>then Edgar Soto.

1128
00:51:30.400 --> 00:51:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Was okay, and they would they say to you or

1129
00:51:33.960 --> 00:51:36.159
<v Speaker 2>advice or did they? Yeah they're my I mean they're

1131
00:51:38.920 --> 00:51:40.400

1132
00:51:40.679 --> 00:51:41.199
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

1133
00:51:41.480 --> 00:51:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so they were on the verge like I said earlier,

1134
00:51:43.519 --> 00:51:44.519
<v Speaker 2>and then they just didn't happen.

1135

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we almost had five teams from a spring training standpoint, right.

1136
00:51:47.559 --> 00:51:49.440
