Speaker 4: where you did you get to see him on TV?
Speaker 4: Very often?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, all the time when I was a kid.
Speaker 4: Okay, did you hate anything more than turning on the
Speaker 4: TV game? Game is on? Your team is kicking butt,
Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden, the minute you turn
Speaker 4: it on and goes all to hell. That's what happened
Speaker 4: to me last night, turned on the Dodger game. It's
Speaker 4: the eighth inning. They're up three to one, and I'm like,
Speaker 4: all right, three one, they're beating you know, I think
Speaker 4: they're playing. Where are they playing? They're playing Cubs, the Cubs.
Speaker 4: So I turned it on. They're up three to one
Speaker 4: and in the next five minutes they score six runs
Speaker 4: and they get blown out.
Speaker 2: I'm like, what the hell are we doing? Do you
Speaker 2: realize who you are and the three letters?
Speaker 4: You know what? That shouldn't happen just because they turned
Speaker 4: the dang game on. You speak of them. It should not.
Speaker 4: You speak of them, and it goes to crap. It
Speaker 4: should not happen. That should not be. It's not like
Speaker 4: I put money on them or anything.
Speaker 2: Tony, Tony does you seem like you're not a sports fan.
Speaker 2: You're just kind of here helping. But you know, the
Speaker 2: reference kod just to death. If he even thinks it,
Speaker 2: it's gonna happen. If you thought of the end of
Speaker 2: the world tomorrow, the asstech calendar would pop up from
Speaker 2: somewhere and it would happened.
Speaker 4: Wait, wait till Thursday, exactly exactly exactly. Anyways, that happened
Speaker 4: to me last night. I was and I was really
Speaker 4: mad because I was doing some work. I forgot the
Speaker 4: game was on. Oh, the game's on, and I put
Speaker 4: it on and they're up three one. I'm like, all right,
Speaker 4: and the and the the Cubs are coming up to
Speaker 4: bad and then they blow them out just like that.
Speaker 2: The playoffs are going to be pretty interesting. They're going
Speaker 2: to be weird because they disappointing for you.
Speaker 4: I haven't. They got swept by the Diamondbacks, and I
Speaker 4: got to be at the game that completed the sweep,
Speaker 4: worse than any I was at the game. I don't
Speaker 4: want to go back to that ballpark ever. Again. That's
Speaker 4: called double kal. I mean, the Dodgers were there just
Speaker 4: you know, last week, and are you going? I said,
Speaker 4: are you out of your mind? Last time I was there,
Speaker 4: they got blown out and got swept in a playoff series.
Speaker 4: I have very low expectations for the Dodgers in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Man, And we got to check the tapes from five
Speaker 2: months ago. Because you said it's it's super, it's Super,
Speaker 2: it's World Series or both. Well, because because they're well
Speaker 2: he's there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well yeah, I mean they're they're they're in pieces
Speaker 4: right now. They got guys. They got guys on the
Speaker 4: il all over the place. Yeah all right, sorry about that.
Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill said today that he could have handled the
Speaker 3: traffic stop situation better from Sunday.
Speaker 2: Okay, And that was pretty much just rolling down his
Speaker 2: window kind of a listen to what they were saying.
Speaker 2: But he still wants the cop to be fired.
Speaker 4: Well, it depends on what happened after that, right, we
Speaker 4: don't know. Look we I mean, we've all seen we've
Speaker 4: seen clips of cops who lose their minds in a
Speaker 4: very short period of time. I know the cops who
Speaker 4: are incredibly patient and and you know, so it just
Speaker 4: depends on who you run into.
Speaker 2: Have you talked to your brother since our discussion two days?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 4: Only only that you know, we I kept getting text
Speaker 4: messages about the thing that in Arizona. If you get
Speaker 4: pulled over and they asked for your driver's license or
Speaker 4: i D, you have to provide it. It's the law.
Speaker 4: You have to do it, okay, and you have to comply.
Speaker 4: You know, if they tell you to get out of
Speaker 4: the car, you got to get out of the car,
Speaker 4: all right. You have to comply with an office's reasonable request.
Speaker 4: Is what this is.
Speaker 2: I just gotta find that car.
Speaker 4: Did you get dragged out of the car?
Speaker 2: No? No, no, I saw I saw a card and
Speaker 2: that says if you're ever in trouble, give them this
Speaker 2: card and then you have to talk to your attorney.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's not Yeah, I have to find that card.
Speaker 4: Maybe card. Yeah, it's the same things as again as
Speaker 4: a breath lizer. If you don't do the breathalyzer, there
Speaker 4: you're going to jail and they're going to draw your blood.
Speaker 2: What if you don't do the breatolizer and you didn't
Speaker 2: have any drinks.
Speaker 4: Doesn't matter. By by denying, By denying the breathalyzer, they're
Speaker 4: they're presuming that you're intoxicated. Why would you deny to
Speaker 4: do a breath lizer you didn't have anything to drink,
Speaker 4: just to be a dumb Okay, then you need to
Speaker 4: be taken to jail. Okay, you need to go to
Speaker 4: jail if you're going to do that pretty for jail.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I think they'd love you, and I love you. You
Speaker 4: take this, So just what I'm doing, given give the
Speaker 4: id take you know, if they're gonna give your ticket,
Speaker 4: they're gonna give you a ticket. You know, you know
Speaker 4: what you know what doesn't work is aggravating the cop.
Speaker 2: No, I know that, but we also so they're so
Speaker 2: wired already.
Speaker 4: You you you can you can set a cop off
Speaker 4: in no time flat. Now, some cops have they've got
Speaker 4: different approaches to things and they're handled things differently. But
Speaker 4: there are cops out there that if there's one little
Speaker 4: sliver of of of I don't know what you'd call
Speaker 4: the word disagreement, they're gonna they're gonna take you. You know,
Speaker 4: they're gonna they're gonna treat you bad.
Speaker 2: Don't you think? And this is I don't know who
Speaker 2: said this back in the day, uh, just recently. This
Speaker 2: probably happened a lot. But they didn't have phones.
Speaker 4: That's right, there were no phones and there were no Yeah,
Speaker 4: nobody was no. I mean okay. And again, you know
Speaker 4: when Tyreek Hill said he didn't want to be video
Speaker 4: that's why he wanted to keep rolling his window up.
Speaker 4: I get that. You know.
Speaker 2: The footy part is I don't want attention three fifty
Speaker 2: thousand dollars.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah, yeah, yeah, let's move on. Let's move on,
Speaker 4: all right.
Speaker 3: Does Shaun Watson deny the latest sexual assault allegations against
Speaker 3: him that were from twenty twenty, Well, I.
Speaker 2: Didn't think he was going to admit to them, did you,
Speaker 2: Steve No, But his his his uh line of successes following.
Speaker 4: Right, Well, here's here's the thing that you know. I
Speaker 4: heard because Dan Patrick brought it up. It was the main,
Speaker 4: a main topic of conversation on his show this morning.
Speaker 4: They had somebody who how don't know how actually got
Speaker 4: their hands on Deshaun Watson's contract apparently, you know, because
Speaker 4: they're saying, I mean, he's three years into five, this
Speaker 4: five year contract where he's getting ready. Yeah, I didn't
Speaker 4: know that there's two years left on the contract. That
Speaker 4: if if the Browns are looking for a way to
Speaker 4: get out of the contract, that apparently the contract states
Speaker 4: that if there are any more incidents such as this
Speaker 4: and he doesn't disclose them to the Browns before you know,
Speaker 4: it all becomes whatever, that they can cancel his contract.
Speaker 4: And so the question is will they want to do that.
Speaker 4: I don't know why they have them on their team
Speaker 4: to begin with, but after you know, all the other stuff.
Speaker 4: But if they're looking for a way out, they have
Speaker 4: a way out apparently. So I don't know, I don't know,
Speaker 4: but I mean, do I believe that this happened? Of
Speaker 4: course I do, based on his track record. Yeah, right.
Speaker 3: These Saints sent their players home early this afternoon ahead
Speaker 3: of Hurricane franc scene that it's hitting New Orleans soon.
Speaker 4: God, I just I'm not sure why people even live there.
Speaker 4: But you know there's so many places like you know,
Speaker 4: Hurricane Alley. Right, Oh you're from Indiana, right, Tony, that's
Speaker 4: not Hurricane Alley, but it's near it, or Tornado Alley.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's right there.
Speaker 2: People in New Orleans. So say, I don't know why
Speaker 2: people live in Arizona. There are snakes, and there's spiders
Speaker 2: and there's big creatures.
Speaker 4: Guess what we don't have. We don't have earthquakes. Well,
Speaker 4: there's that we don't have. We don't have a tsunamis.
Speaker 4: We don't have hurricanes. We don't have We've been a
Speaker 4: couple of tornadoes recently, but nothing that's rolled any mobile
Speaker 4: homes over or anything like that. We don't have any
Speaker 4: of that stuff.
Speaker 1: It's hot.
Speaker 4: It's hot in the summertime, right, you know, go to
Speaker 4: the mall, cool off, go to the movie theater, and
Speaker 4: it's crazy. I you know, I it's I didn't know
Speaker 4: that there was a hurricane moving in over there. But shocked,
Speaker 4: not shocked, right, all right, that's all I go. That's it,
Speaker 4: all right? What do you got Steve.
Speaker 2: I have nothing that's email for us, a text from
Speaker 2: the boss, but that's okay.
Speaker 4: You don't have a boss. Who's your boss?
Speaker 2: Boss here kind of the guy who's.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right. So you know, I don't know, it
Speaker 4: was fun talking to Bob Camp because he's so down
Speaker 4: on the on the Suns. He's down on the Cardinals.
Speaker 4: Sounds like Jody, Well, Jody loves Kyler Murray, though doesn't
Speaker 4: he will talk to him today? He didn't.
Speaker 2: Well, no, I'm sure that he went on a yesterday
Speaker 2: about the team. He says, there's this one side, you
Speaker 2: love Murray or or you don't love Murray. And it's
Speaker 2: citing more to you don't love Murray because of what
Speaker 2: he does and doesn't do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but part of why why I didn't like Kyler
Speaker 4: Murray sort of the way he came out as a
Speaker 4: you know, as a first round draft pick, and he
Speaker 4: was kind of up at E and I don't know,
Speaker 4: he gave me a bad impression right from the get go,
Speaker 4: and so I just and then you know, just I
Speaker 4: just don't feel I don't know, if you've invested that
Speaker 4: much in uh, in a guy like that, of course
Speaker 4: you're going to keep throwing him out there. But I
Speaker 4: don't know that. I don't want Kyler Murray on my team.
Speaker 2: Well, if you want to win, I don't think you
Speaker 2: should have. It's like mister Rogers here, Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was originally gonna play baseball, and.
Speaker 4: He well he was threatening to play baseball.
Speaker 2: Well he might eventually end up playing baseball because you
Speaker 2: might not have a chance with us.
Speaker 4: Well you better do it soon. Oh yeah, So I
Speaker 4: just came across the sea. Arizona Women's golf did win
Speaker 4: that tournament, Folds of Honor tournament?
Speaker 2: Cham who did?
Speaker 4: Who was in that? I don't know who else was in?
Speaker 4: I can I can probably get that because uh but
Speaker 4: that's you know, that's not bad, not bad. I I know,
Speaker 4: I can't get it. I don't see it. They don't
Speaker 4: have they don't have results on their website. But uh,
Speaker 4: you know, fall out of bed, you know when when
Speaker 4: your first tournament. Congratulations to to the coach. I can't
Speaker 4: remember her name, but we'll get oh Giovanna Maimon. So
Speaker 4: well we're gonna forget her on the show. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's gonna make me feel she's a Hispanic woman.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's from Mexico. Yeah, yeah, we'll get her on. Yeah,
Speaker 4: she's from Mexico, so good for them. Okay, all right,
Speaker 4: So anyway.
Speaker 2: I'm wondering, this is a dumb question, this is dumb
Speaker 2: statement because we're Hispanic, right, and what Mexicans. I feel
Speaker 2: about the Mexican food here because she's gonna be eating it,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she was. She's gonna be nice to say it's great. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but really is it? Have you been?
Speaker 2: Have you have have five deep in you? Ever gone
Speaker 2: into mexicocres up out of you? No, it's just Mexicans
Speaker 2: down there. No, I can tell the story. I guess
Speaker 2: i'd go down there to Rocky, but I had. It's
Speaker 2: been a while. But so when I was a kid,
Speaker 2: like eight years old, maybe younger than that, five years ago,
Speaker 2: it's kind of been embarrassing. So we went down to
Speaker 2: Texas to uh to Bend. It's like the Texas and
Speaker 2: and with my relative. One of my uncles was the
Speaker 2: National forest guy. He was the big guy. So we
Speaker 2: went and spent the week there. And I was just
Speaker 2: a kid. My family and I took me there. So
Speaker 2: we went across I drink the water, and I'm a kid.
Speaker 2: I guess what I did the rest of the week,
Speaker 2: and I'll never ever do that again, ever do that.
Speaker 2: Since that day, I've never drink the water. And that's
Speaker 2: what gives me the phobia.
Speaker 4: I never drink the water down there.
Speaker 2: Well, guess what, I was fine. My parents didn't know
Speaker 2: any better.
Speaker 7: Drink the wine.
Speaker 2: So now we go to I've been to Rocky Play
Speaker 2: and all that stuff. No, no, Rocky Points the deepest
Speaker 2: I've going and and I'm okay with that.
Speaker 4: That's about it. Okay, Well, I've been to portoby Ericta.
Speaker 4: Can you go very chorist place. Been to Amscio though
Speaker 4: a few times. I mean I actually worked on an
Speaker 4: on an Arizonata star project down there. You know, I
Speaker 4: was careful, didn't drink the water. I was drinking sodas
Speaker 4: and things like that. That that was in the eighties,
Speaker 4: so it was before you had bottled water and stuff
Speaker 4: like that, So I just drank. I just drank cokes
Speaker 4: like crazy. Uh, you know, during that time. But now
Speaker 4: you know, we go to Rocky When we go to
Speaker 4: Rocky Point, you know, our family we take water down
Speaker 4: there with us. We take enough bottle of water for
Speaker 4: for a week down there. But we go to a restaurant,
Speaker 4: you know, I'll drink their water because it's I know,
Speaker 4: it's filtered. If you go to if you go to
Speaker 4: the nicer restaurants, uh, you know, because you know you're
Speaker 4: gonna have ice in your soda, so that's water, so
Speaker 4: you know you don't get sick from that. So I
Speaker 4: do that, and then I drink the booze and the
Speaker 4: beer and the sodas and things, just to be safe,
Speaker 4: just to be safe, just to kill anything that got
Speaker 4: in me. Right. So but now you know I I look,
Speaker 4: I did for the longest time. You know, the first time,
Speaker 4: the first time I went to Rocky Point. My who
Speaker 4: was later going to become my wife, made me go
Speaker 4: with her down there because she loved it. She went
Speaker 4: and did a semester of school in Guadalajara, so she
Speaker 4: loves about it. Fluent is me.

Speaker 6: The league in in wins.
Speaker 16: So looks like we're gonna have a great team and
Speaker 16: excited to get rolling again.
Speaker 4: Well look at you guys favored in the league. So
Speaker 4: and again we know what really I mean, the road
Speaker 4: Runners existed, try and you know, uh, you know, get
Speaker 4: players and supply the NHL team, But it matters to
Speaker 4: these guys right to win a league and playoffs and
Speaker 4: all that kind of stuff. What what is being a
Speaker 4: favorite though? Do you know going into the season, what
Speaker 4: how does that enter into anything?
Speaker 16: I think if you asked our head coach Steve Pavin,
Speaker 16: he would say it's something to to embrace, not not
Speaker 16: something we're not gonna look at and say we don't
Speaker 16: want to hear what anybody thinks.
Speaker 6: We don't want to look at our roster or any projections.
Speaker 16: We embraced that that were, you know, favored to make
Speaker 16: that jump from second place to first place this year,
Speaker 16: and and our group last year was really disappointed how
Speaker 16: things ended in the first round of playoffs. He brought
Speaker 16: the white Out back to the Tucson and wasn't able
Speaker 16: to extended out any more than the first first round,
Speaker 16: but we had two great crowds and it really rejuvenated
Speaker 16: the guys from that point of all, Gosh, we brought
Speaker 16: it back. Now we want it back for longer. We
Speaker 16: want to go a couple couple of months here, and
Speaker 16: going into the season last year, our goal was to
Speaker 16: have home ice advantage and bring the White Out back
Speaker 16: to the playoffs, and just as we did it.
Speaker 7: This is just too short.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, if it comes to fruition and you sound
Speaker 2: confident that it could. It sounds like the local fans
Speaker 2: deserve something like this because of maybe the last year
Speaker 2: of maybe are they going to leave, maybe they won't
Speaker 2: leave or whatever.
Speaker 16: Yeah, our fans do. And that's that's one thing we
Speaker 16: were just talking about, right, like you know that it's
Speaker 16: a developmental league, but we want to win and we've
Speaker 16: become really really in trench with our community and our players,
Speaker 16: and our guys love it here and they're they're excited
Speaker 16: to come back just they feel it home here and
Speaker 16: they feel a connection and then we fill a home
Speaker 16: nice advantage and it's a great place. And I've always felt, uh,
Speaker 16: you know, I came to Tucson because I thought it
Speaker 16: was the thirty third best job in the NHL and
Speaker 16: there's thirty two NHLA. Right, Yeah, it's it's it's if
Speaker 16: you're going to be in the American Hockey League, if
Speaker 16: you're going to be in the minor league, this is
Speaker 16: where you you want to be for a hundred different reasons.
Speaker 2: Well it's a good Uh did you get a scare
Speaker 2: inside somewhere deep inside where this team was not going
Speaker 2: to be here and that would mean that you would
Speaker 2: be be gone too?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 16: I felt, I felt within all my heart that we
Speaker 16: would uh we'd we'd be back, and uh, you know,
Speaker 16: it was it was. It was kind of a tumultuous
Speaker 16: couple of months there of of just not knowing just
Speaker 16: for hockey in Arizona in general, and I felt that,
Speaker 16: you know, with with the infrastructure that we built into
Speaker 16: on UH at the TCC, and with the city and
Speaker 16: with our fans support, and how much you know, internally
Speaker 16: the NHL club wanted one of the players and coaches
Speaker 16: to be in Tucson. I felt that we had a
Speaker 16: lot going for us. And it came came to fruition
Speaker 16: and somebody asked me, and somebody asked me in early
Speaker 16: May if my house was for sale, and I said,
Speaker 16: it is not.
Speaker 6: My house is not.
Speaker 16: For sale and I don't don't plan on putting it up.
Speaker 4: We we we heard, no, we heard you bought a
Speaker 4: new house in the foothills in Phoenix, somewhere right in
Speaker 4: that in that how the thing works. You were a
Speaker 4: ring on market coosing the deal with somebody.
Speaker 7: Catalina Foothills is the only foothills for.
Speaker 4: Me, man, So listen, what's the long term? Is refresh
Speaker 4: our memory on this? Is there a is there a
Speaker 4: deal signed with the TCC or you know? So how
Speaker 4: long are we do? We know that you're here for sure?
Speaker 16: Yeah, So this was season number nine of the original
Speaker 16: ten year lease.
Speaker 6: In June we added.
Speaker 16: An additional year to it. So officially three years the leaf,
Speaker 16: which is you know, it's uh, it's it's a lot
Speaker 16: of a lot of room to work with. And you know,
Speaker 16: you know, I know personally are our goals just to
Speaker 16: keep extending that uh and and just keep keep building
Speaker 16: it here. But it's it's, it's it's where we want
Speaker 16: to be. We know our community once this year, we
Speaker 16: know our NHL affiliate once, our player is developing here.
Speaker 7: And and as I said, I think we have had a.
Speaker 6: Lot of good stuff.
Speaker 16: Going for us, and we've been able to build build
Speaker 16: a fan base every year. First three years we did.
Speaker 16: The fourth year went into COVID, came back out of
Speaker 16: it and picked up right where we left left off.
Speaker 16: So it's good to see, right, uh, to to keep
Speaker 16: expanding that fan base every year. So often in professional
Speaker 16: sports we'll see that initial bang for an expanded team
Speaker 16: and then the the graph goes goes down, trending down.
Speaker 16: And for us, it's it's always been trending up from
Speaker 16: year to year.
Speaker 4: Well, it's okay, since it's the off season, right, we
Speaker 4: got to ask these questions now, we'll we'll talk about
Speaker 4: players later. Whatever you want, the whole thing, Okay, So
Speaker 4: you're still you're still the farm team for the team
Speaker 4: that's now in Utah. Correct, correct, Okay, but I guess
Speaker 4: the ownership group, the prior Coyotes ownership group, still has
Speaker 4: rights to Phoenix. What happens if they get a team,
Speaker 4: do you it can shuffle around? Would the road Runners
Speaker 4: be a minor league team for them if it came
Speaker 4: around in the next couple of years? What? What? What
Speaker 4: would happen there? Any ideas? Is it totally up.
Speaker 16: In their Yeah, we're under contract with Utah and that's
Speaker 16: the situation right now, and and.
Speaker 6: Who knows what's what's what's up next? Then you know what.
Speaker 16: The things usually end up working out how they're meant
Speaker 16: to be right one.
Speaker 6: Way or another.
Speaker 16: But for for us in the moment, and I know
Speaker 16: that the organization in Utah was really really excited to
Speaker 16: see official, to have our same coaching staff, our same
Speaker 16: hockey operations group, our same trainers, and our same players
Speaker 16: back back with the road Runners.
Speaker 2: So the only difference now was driving a little further
Speaker 2: north to to get the team, you know, back and forth.
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's uh, there's there's three direct flights today from
Speaker 16: Tucson to Salt Lake City. So instead of hour and
Speaker 16: a half drive, it's an hour and a half flight,
Speaker 16: and you know, fifty percent of the time they're on
Speaker 16: the road.
Speaker 6: Fifty percent of the time were on the road.
Speaker 7: So it doesn't doesn't.
Speaker 16: Necessarily anything mean that it's going to affect really really
Speaker 16: anything that much. But there's there's three, uh three daily
Speaker 16: directs day from Saul like to Tucson and vice versa,
Speaker 16: and it's it's it's still an ideal, h ideal, easy
Speaker 16: way to get get players back and forth.
Speaker 2: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I guess when all
Speaker 2: this was going on, one of the things that made you,
Speaker 2: guys stay or whomever made you stay, h the fan
Speaker 2: base really really rallied behind the team and said we
Speaker 2: want them here.
Speaker 16: It was it was incredible. You know, our players saw it,
Speaker 16: the city saw it, our ownership saw it, our front
Speaker 16: office saw it, and we all we all wanted it,
Speaker 16: and uh, it was it was a big deal.
Speaker 6: And uh, you.
Speaker 16: Know, everybody everybody said how important that show of support.
Speaker 16: It wasn't just the support, but it was, you know,
Speaker 16: how how open and public it it was to say
Speaker 16: how much the fan base love the Roadrunners and and
Speaker 16: what a them here? And you know, it meant the
Speaker 16: world to us, Uh, seeing it in the stands are
Speaker 16: during our playoff games and afterwards, and we knew how
Speaker 16: they felt, but it really showed Tucson in southern Arizona
Speaker 16: in a great light to the hockey world.
Speaker 4: This is a little off off the path, but you know,
Speaker 4: I've been working on a story for for his Tucson magazine.
Speaker 4: We're doing a big piece on downtown and and talk
Speaker 4: to Glenn Grabski, who you know, general manage over to
Speaker 4: the DCC, And one of the things I was talked
Speaker 4: about was how important it was not only for the
Speaker 4: arena to get fixed up and all the kind of that,
Speaker 4: all that type of stuff, but then for the road
Speaker 4: Runners to be downtown and then that had really a
Speaker 4: huge impact on the revitalization that's taken taking place downtown,
Speaker 4: all the stuff that's happening down there. You guys have
Speaker 4: been there for that entire period that this has been
Speaker 4: going on. What's that been like for you guys to
Speaker 4: to kind of have a sense of that how important
Speaker 4: you've been to really just the overall things that are
Speaker 4: going on downtown.
Speaker 16: Yeah, it means it means the world to be Tucson's
Speaker 16: pro hockey team, and our offices are right down here.
Speaker 6: We're a block away.
Speaker 16: From from the TCC on Broadway, right right just past
Speaker 16: just past Stone and a beautiful building that's been redone
Speaker 16: and refurbished.
Speaker 6: And so we're.
Speaker 16: Downtown every every day.
Speaker 6: And we see it.
Speaker 16: And it's one of the first things I noticed when
Speaker 16: I when I came down here, was just feeling the
Speaker 16: buzz that you feel when you drive when you get
Speaker 16: onto to Congress.
Speaker 7: And and then there's a Starbucks going.
Speaker 16: Up across the streets from from our offices here, and
Speaker 16: I just drove by that probably an hour ago. I'm like,
Speaker 16: that is that is maybe one of the most unexpected
Speaker 16: things you'd ever expect.
Speaker 7: To see in Tucson, because you look at.
Speaker 16: All our local coffee shops and our restaurants and the theaters,
Speaker 16: and it's uh and there's a buzz to it and
Speaker 16: you and you felt it.
Speaker 7: And then COVID hit.
Speaker 16: And we were we'd stayed downtown. We're in the Presidio
Speaker 16: at the time, and and I was I was in
Speaker 16: our office every day and walking down to.
Speaker 6: The UPS store, you wouldn't see a soul.
Speaker 16: And You're like, oh, our downtown was so vibrant, and
Speaker 16: I've seen it in two years just really take off.
Speaker 16: And it was good when I got here. I got
Speaker 16: here for our third season and it was bouncy and
Speaker 16: but it I mean, by May twenty twenty one, we
Speaker 16: had a back and and you know what it's like
Speaker 16: driving downtown and we see in the middle of July
Speaker 16: and August, when there's nobody on campus.
Speaker 7: It's it's it's still hopping down here.
Speaker 16: And for us during during the season, you know, we
Speaker 16: we hear from.
Speaker 6: The restaurants, the.
Speaker 16: Traffic that comes in on a on a game night,
Speaker 16: and for us, obviously love that. You'd love to be
Speaker 16: downtown and especially and I've been in organizations where.
Speaker 6: You weren't downtown and you're kind of out in the
Speaker 6: suburbs or wherever. It's not the same.
Speaker 16: But when there's a game and I'm driving downtown at
Speaker 16: two three in the afternoon and it's packed and it's
Speaker 16: bumpered a bumper. Look at all those people downtown that
Speaker 16: can walk over and watch a game and extend the
Speaker 16: extend their evening.
Speaker 2: So Adri and you talked about the season starting in
Speaker 2: about a little over a month here, what's the process
Speaker 2: they go up to Salt Lake and they work out
Speaker 2: there and then whoever makes a team up there comes
Speaker 2: down here or doesn't make the team.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 16: We start our rookie camp this weekend. There's a tournament
Speaker 16: in Los Angeles hosted by the LA Kings for our rookies.
Speaker 16: The Ribbunners coaching staff, Steve Potman, John Planes, X Roteini
Speaker 16: you're leading that, and then they'll go into NHL Main
Speaker 16: Camp that'll start next Wednesday, and we'll be in Tucson
Speaker 16: on September twenty ninth, September thirtieth.
Speaker 7: Ready for our first practices and.
Speaker 16: Our preseason action on the road in Henderson will be
Speaker 16: that following weekend, the first weekend in October.
Speaker 4: So I was gonna say, how much do you know
Speaker 4: about what your roster's going to look like?
Speaker 16: More so than in previous years because as part of
Speaker 16: the rebuild that we were ongoing with with the Coyotes,
Speaker 16: they're now in year number four of that, starting their
Speaker 16: first year in Utah, and so they have developed a
Speaker 16: lot of depth and a lot of pieces, and they've
Speaker 16: acquired several assets as well. So going into this year
Speaker 16: and why we can look at our roster and have
Speaker 16: a pretty good idea of what it's going to be.
Speaker 16: The NHL roster is pretty set. We're not going into
Speaker 16: it like we were for a couple of seasons where
Speaker 16: half the team with fifty to fifty to eight the
Speaker 16: NHL team. The NHL team is pretty sets at this
Speaker 16: point with the amount of contracts that they have, and
Speaker 16: then you can look at it and see what's going
Speaker 16: to be down here, which is why we feel so
Speaker 16: good about all of the depth that we've got our
Speaker 16: second year, our third year AHL guys, our first year
Speaker 16: HL guys that we're going to see for the first
Speaker 16: time that have been drafted in the last year or so,
Speaker 16: and they've they've also added some some really good experienced
Speaker 16: veterans and leaders for for the hockey club.
Speaker 7: So looking at all.
Speaker 16: That is why we can say man Cochella, who finished
Speaker 16: in first play for us to your lost half of
Speaker 16: their team, and we've got all of our team back
Speaker 16: at this at this at this plus our prospects, we
Speaker 16: feel feel pretty good about it.
Speaker 4: And with the.
Speaker 16: Stability of the coaching staff back once again. We've had
Speaker 16: our same coaching staff really since since year number two
Speaker 16: here and even in year one, Steve pop And was
Speaker 16: involved in. John Flaney was an assistant coach with with Arizona.
Speaker 16: So we've we've we've we've had the same core and
Speaker 16: we've felt our culture and our expectations. And you know,
Speaker 16: going into this year, as I said, can can kind
Speaker 16: of tell who's who's going to be here to start
Speaker 16: just based on the amount of NHL contracts.
Speaker 2: So because there's souch, I hope as you as you said,
Speaker 2: what's the season ticket like?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: Are they is that improving? And like you said, how
Speaker 2: can we find ticket sales? Now? How do if we

Speaker 4: That's easy stuff. Yeah, so cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So let me don't get a text. I didn't
Speaker 2: some guy, some guy I know, the guy, I won't
Speaker 2: say his name. He says to me about the line
Speaker 2: line and it kind of makes sense. Defensive the offensive line,
Speaker 2: it says, okay, uh, they have the guys on the line.
Speaker 2: They've been resting them to get them ready for this game.
Speaker 2: Not much depth there, but they're gonna be better. They're
Speaker 2: gonna be better because they've It's like, it's the equivalent
Speaker 2: of we can beat any of you with what we got,
Speaker 2: let's not get hurt any further.
Speaker 4: And that was that certainly was a thought, right that
Speaker 4: Okay makes sense, right, it makes sense that. Okay, you
Speaker 4: know because remember, okay, well.
Speaker 2: Let me finish this because okay, not much depth there,
Speaker 2: but this will be a better game than you think.
Speaker 2: Said Okay, darn I sound like Jay.
Speaker 4: He sounds reasonable, but sounds smart, really smart. Sounds really smart.
Speaker 4: But okay, let's go back again. And I think we
Speaker 4: said a couple times, let's go back to the press
Speaker 4: conference before the first game.
Speaker 2: I know what you're gonna And they asked.
Speaker 4: Him, he said, you know, are you are you holding
Speaker 4: anything back? And he said, we're gonna call the plays
Speaker 4: that we need to call to win the game. Guess
Speaker 4: what they did exactly. They won the game. You can
Speaker 4: take that however you want, right, You can take that
Speaker 4: as him saying no, we're gonna throw everything out there
Speaker 4: because you know, or you can take him take it
Speaker 4: to say, yeah, we're you know, we're we're we're gonna
Speaker 4: we're gonna do enough to win the game, and that's
Speaker 4: all we care about.
Speaker 2: And that was the right, good answer, because that's exactly
Speaker 2: what There's.
Speaker 4: A different ways to interpret that. And they're own two.
Speaker 4: I mean, they're two and zero, and again that's what
Speaker 4: they are. Are you unhappy that, you know, like Jim,
Speaker 4: that they didn't blow out nau Well, yeah, maybe you are.
Speaker 5: You have that.
Speaker 4: Unhappy you have that audio. There's a few of those.
Speaker 4: I mean, I wanted it to be a forty something
Speaker 4: to ten game.
Speaker 2: All the people you see on a Wednesday, let's say ten,
Speaker 2: I'm sure a few of them are like that.
Speaker 4: They were all like that.
Speaker 2: Oh you're the only one.
Speaker 4: They all like that. And I'm trying to walk them
Speaker 4: off the limb and say, guys, two and oh maybe
Speaker 4: there's one guy, one reasonable guy. We're two and oh
Speaker 4: you know, there's relax, two reasonable two of us in town.
Speaker 4: There's two of us in town. You know, relax. But
Speaker 4: there's also an understanding from there's some concern and an
Speaker 4: understanding for these guys that the offensive line is banged
Speaker 4: up and that you know, okay, but maybe it's not.
Speaker 4: Maybe some of these guys would have played in a
Speaker 4: more in a more critical game. Right, So maybe you're
Speaker 4: you're you're the guy who texted he was right.
Speaker 2: If we're hosting this show in uh Lubbock, Texas and
Speaker 2: we know what we know, we're not you're not an
Speaker 2: Arizona fan. You know what? You know what you've seen?
Speaker 2: Which way you're going with this game? On the surface,
Speaker 2: I don't know you're going with Kansas State minus the seven.
Speaker 4: Seventh a lot. I think if it's a three point game,
Speaker 4: you jump on Kansas State. But if you if all
Speaker 4: you know is what you know is the score. Okay,
Speaker 4: you know Arizona beat an Au twenty two to ten.
Speaker 4: You know, uh, Kansas State when one I what thirty
Speaker 4: four to twenty seven at Tulane. Yeah, you're probably gonna
Speaker 4: take uh, You're probably gonna take Kansas State because you're
Speaker 4: saying any of you and you only beat them by twelve, okay.
Speaker 2: In New Mexico the week before it was odd.
Speaker 4: But thirty nine points that you gave up you're probably okay, yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take Kansas State.
Speaker 2: So you're this is none of them saying that you're
Speaker 2: a little bias towards Arizona, but because you know a
Speaker 2: little bit more.
Speaker 4: But if I'm out there, okay, if I'm out there
Speaker 4: and it's seven and a half seven in the hook,
Speaker 4: I'm not sure that I'm taking it, taking or giving it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, And that's the smart play is not
Speaker 2: to do it.
Speaker 4: Yeah I'm not. I don't know that I'm playing either
Speaker 4: side of that. I'm gonna go find a different game.
Speaker 2: This has a lot of Mississippi stated it from last
Speaker 2: year because you didn't know how good Arizona was, right,
Speaker 2: and then they played really well, yeah in a bad way.
Speaker 4: Well they played bad, horrible first quarter, and then.
Speaker 2: They stuck with it, stuck with it, stuck with it,
Speaker 2: and they played You're thinking, oh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I don't think of it like that because
Speaker 4: at that time, we really really really didn't know anything
Speaker 4: about that team. Well you still look like we don't.
Speaker 4: But this is a game where if Arizona wins the game,
Speaker 4: you go, Okay, you know, you guys are pretty good.
Speaker 4: You know, I thought you had a shot to win
Speaker 4: the game. I didn't think they had any shot to
Speaker 4: be Mississippi State when they played when they played Misissippi
Speaker 4: State the first half, right, Well, just going into the game,
Speaker 4: I don't recall thinking Arizona can win this game.
Speaker 2: Well, because you didn't know anything about them exactly. I
Speaker 2: think Arizona can win this game. And what gives you that?
Speaker 4: Because they've got good players?
Speaker 2: Well what about? What do you know much about Kansas State?
Speaker 2: You know more tomorrow because you don't know much about it.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 4: I saw a lot of their game, you know why,
Speaker 4: because I had them in a moneyline parlay. So I
Speaker 4: was watching the game and I was getting pissed off
Speaker 4: that they were getting their asses kicked. You know. I
Speaker 4: kind of did that on purpose though, because I wanted
Speaker 4: to watch the game. I wanted to see what they
Speaker 4: looked like, and they were getting their asses beat and
Speaker 4: I'm like, when it was twenty to ten, I'm like,
Speaker 4: Arizona can beat these guys. And in fact, in fact,
Speaker 4: I was thinking Arizona should beat these.
Speaker 2: I think you sent me a text. Look at Kansas State. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: with that toad right.
Speaker 4: Right, Like these guys suck. Yeah, we know they don't suck. Look,
Speaker 4: this is gonna be a This is gonna be a
Speaker 4: hard game for both teams.
Speaker 2: It could be the second toughest game of the year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this could be a hard game for Kansas State
Speaker 4: because I mean, Kansas State fans, I can't imagine are
Speaker 4: super happy about what they saw last week though.
Speaker 2: In fact, I know that Brian Peterson's group talked to
Speaker 2: another writer that we won't be talking about tomorrow, but
Speaker 2: they said thirty two to twenty four Kansas State. But
Speaker 2: of course guess where he where's he covered? Yeah, he's
Speaker 2: from over there. Sure, so you sure get that bias
Speaker 2: over there? Yeah, so yeah, we'll see you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I you know, I think that I think
Speaker 4: I think that what what what can happen is anything.
Speaker 2: Right, right? And it probably Arizona can.
Speaker 4: Blow them out. They can blow out Arizona and and
Speaker 4: or it can be a close game either way. Let's
Speaker 4: take this call. Hi are on the air Andine on.
Speaker 7: The ball boy, so fancy the call screener.
Speaker 2: No, you know you can't cuss.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I'm not going to cuss at all.
Speaker 7: Just what I just got in. I was been talking on.
Speaker 6: Phone to segue.
Speaker 7: You know what I was thought you were talking about
Speaker 7: when they were blowing them out. Guess what I thought
Speaker 7: Jay would take the cups fan, I thought, my cup's
Speaker 7: blowing out your Dodgers, just like the night again, That's
Speaker 7: what I was thinking.
Speaker 2: What's the score now? Did it finish today?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 7: They play at seven? Yeah, the play tonight because they
Speaker 7: were playing. Boy, they're really missing Hernandez. But that guy
Speaker 7: actually won the home run or he didn't?
Speaker 4: He yes, he did, yes, he did.
Speaker 7: Only he hasn't hit any home runs hardly.
Speaker 4: The second half of the Bes hit plenty of home runs.
Speaker 4: He's doing just finally got I just looked at only
Speaker 4: got twenty eight. That's a lot of homers.
Speaker 7: I don't think so. Now, when you won the home
Speaker 7: run Derby, what do you mean Schwarber's got thirty five?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what the home run Derby is. It's
Speaker 4: such an off the charts kind of thing that means
Speaker 4: that means very little. It really does, so I know.
Speaker 7: But Schwarber's got thirty five.
Speaker 4: I hate I hate that.
Speaker 7: The Cubs, Well, we're gonna make up a bed. I
Speaker 7: mean it's it's it's a one and a half run lead.
Speaker 7: We're not going to need anything that one tonight? Wait
Speaker 7: you wait, Cubs again?
Speaker 4: What the Cubs are giving one and a half for
Speaker 4: getting one and a half.
Speaker 7: No, they're getting one and a half.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's weird.
Speaker 7: Okay, No, you're what you're hosting? Yeah, I know, and
Speaker 7: of course the over and unders nine.
Speaker 4: I don't even know who's throwing tonight, So I don't
Speaker 4: know that.
Speaker 7: I'll who's throwing because I don't know what our guys
Speaker 7: we got. Uh, okay, what's that guy's name? We got
Speaker 7: a guy that's peasident who's been on the injured list,
Speaker 7: Your guys some kind of I forgot who it is.
Speaker 4: It's I bet it's a bullpen game or something tonight.
Speaker 7: There. I think they're going to score nine runs. They're
Speaker 7: gonna be over.
Speaker 4: Would you put money on that?
Speaker 7: Oh? Yeah, I'm just it's gonna be over because we're
Speaker 7: gonna win. Well, you're getting one and that we're getting
Speaker 7: one and a half.
Speaker 4: You think you think that? You think the Cubs will
Speaker 4: sweep the Dodgers at home?
Speaker 7: Yes, we got yes, because we we needed to win
Speaker 7: every single game to get in a wild card.
Speaker 4: We're gonna sweep them.
Speaker 7: You know, you don't you know we're gonna.
Speaker 4: Sweep them, all right, I mean, okay.
Speaker 7: I got it. Just like your Dodgers, you would say, oh,
Speaker 7: I think you're going to sleep them. Here we are
Speaker 7: on the road.
Speaker 4: It's Bobby Miller. Ever, it's Bobby Miller. Okay. If you're
Speaker 4: pitching for the Dodgers, that guy is like a gas
Speaker 4: can on the on the mound. They're just they they're
Speaker 4: the He he's terrible. Yes, he's a dumpster fires. He's
Speaker 4: a seven point seventy nine ear. The other in his
Speaker 4: last outing, he gave up five runs before he got
Speaker 4: it out. So I'm not I'm not I'm not taking
Speaker 4: I may take the over on this, but I'm not
Speaker 4: taking the Dodgers, that's for sure.
Speaker 7: Anyway, the Cubs have been they've been lights out on
Speaker 7: the road. They've won nine out of ten on the road.
