15
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:54.280
<v Speaker 2>U of A football, football, former basketball player, attorney. I

16
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:56.679
<v Speaker 2>want to talk to him about your guy that we

17
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:00.840
<v Speaker 2>just talked about before, is the Tennessee Tenessee quarterback.

18
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:01.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

19
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:04.079
<v Speaker 4>I can't even say his name. We all NKO collectively,

20
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:04.799
<v Speaker 4>we call him Nico.

21
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:11.920
<v Speaker 5>What's his lasting? It's just that I Nico. Okay, we'll

22
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:12.599
<v Speaker 5>call him that guy.

23
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So I sent him a video with with some

24
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:19.760
<v Speaker 2>thoughts from j Billis you guess he had a show

25
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.120
<v Speaker 2>with UH with coach k about all this. Eventually, the kids,

26
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:27.359
<v Speaker 2>maybe the student athletes starting to maybe thoughts, will becoming employees.

27
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:29.079
<v Speaker 2>I think that'd be the worst thing for them.

28
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:32.519
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, because at that point you're taking away the

29
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:33.959
<v Speaker 4>student park in student.

30
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:37.400
<v Speaker 2>Athlete, and they won't have as many rights as they

31
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:39.239
<v Speaker 2>do as a free, free guy exactly.

32
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.840
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's just it's a crazy time right now.

33
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.840
<v Speaker 4>And it's not just college football. We had to see

34
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:51.159
<v Speaker 4>to this magnitude in college basketball, but maybe that's just

35
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.879
<v Speaker 4>because college football is a little bit more drama esque.

36
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I bet you that we will see it in basketball.

37
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:00.239
<v Speaker 2>We didn't see it this year at least right right,

38
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.040
<v Speaker 2>people threatening not to play in the playoffs.

39
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:04.200
<v Speaker 5>And we're waiting.

40
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.560
<v Speaker 4>We're kind of waiting on that high recruit goes to

41
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:10.360
<v Speaker 4>school one year, tries to leave for more money the

42
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:14.719
<v Speaker 4>next and UH, in my opinion, probably settles. This is

43
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:18.520
<v Speaker 4>kind of what happening with this situation with Miko, because

44
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:21.039
<v Speaker 4>I don't believe UCLA would pay the four million that

45
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.439
<v Speaker 4>he's asking the ransom.

46
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:25.319
<v Speaker 2>No, no, I think and that's part of the charm

47
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.280
<v Speaker 2>because no one else really wants him, so he might

48
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.360
<v Speaker 2>be that might be the last resort for him.

49
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.759
<v Speaker 4>And all honestly, I followed very loosely, and then all

50
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 4>of a sudden, you get these reports, Oh, tou Lane's

51
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.719
<v Speaker 4>pulling out North Carolina's I didn't know they had were

52
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:41.360
<v Speaker 4>in contention, right right.

53
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:43.319
<v Speaker 2>They don't want to pay the guy, which of course

54
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:45.400
<v Speaker 2>is every right to not to pay the guy, even

55
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:47.879
<v Speaker 2>though you have this high price price tag. Uh So

56
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:49.680
<v Speaker 2>we'll see what happens with that. But that's kind of

57
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.599
<v Speaker 2>like the president, the president of the whole situation with football.

58
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 5>And it's just interesting.

59
00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:58.599
<v Speaker 4>You read things here and there on X or wherever

60
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:03.800
<v Speaker 4>you find joy in your life? Uh yeah, with not

61
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.199
<v Speaker 4>an X Yeah exactly, you.

62
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:10.080
<v Speaker 5>Ever did a hot chick? Don't let me start here.

63
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:14.199
<v Speaker 5>But either way, you know, you get these stories.

64
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:18.400
<v Speaker 4>I would guess that you call him where Nico almost

65
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:21.000
<v Speaker 4>sat out of that first college football playoff game out

66
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.840
<v Speaker 4>of Ohio State, And you just kind of wonder if

67
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:26.280
<v Speaker 4>maybe that went into all credit to Ohio State. You know,

68
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.560
<v Speaker 4>they obviously won it all, but that game really wasn't

69
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:30.240
<v Speaker 4>that competitive.

70
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:31.520
<v Speaker 5>Maybe that's the reason.

71
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:34.400
<v Speaker 4>Why you know, you have your starter quarterback, thinking about

72
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.800
<v Speaker 4>other things. Yeah, thinking about four million dollars. If you

73
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:39.479
<v Speaker 4>would have payed better, maybe they would have paid him

74
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:41.319
<v Speaker 4>exactly exactly.

75
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:43.080
<v Speaker 6>And he was getting crushed that whole game.

76
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.680
<v Speaker 7>I mean, everybody there was those famous pictures of him

77
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:47.919
<v Speaker 7>cracking two helmets because when it was so cold and

78
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:49.400
<v Speaker 7>two he was getting hit so hard.

79
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:50.560
<v Speaker 6>But I mean.

80
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:54.879
<v Speaker 4>Exactly, that's why I went and got Wendel moy from

81
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:55.759
<v Speaker 4>right here in Tucson.

82
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

83
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.080
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it was it's gonna be interesting dynamic. I think,

84
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:00.960
<v Speaker 7>you know, it was a van going to come anyways

85
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.800
<v Speaker 7>with somebody. And now what I see, like on a

86
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.120
<v Speaker 7>lot of sports shows is that people are like, do

87
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:07.039
<v Speaker 7>you start contracts?

88
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:08.840
<v Speaker 6>What do you what do you put in those contracts?

89
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:09.560
<v Speaker 6>And how do you do that?

90
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:11.479
<v Speaker 7>Kind of like what you guys were talking about already.

91
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.120
<v Speaker 7>But I mean, it was a bound to happen eventually.

92
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:18.199
<v Speaker 7>It it's it kind of sucks that it happened this way,

93
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.600
<v Speaker 7>just because you know, you don't want like, you know,

94
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:22.360
<v Speaker 7>he's only twenty.

95
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.000
<v Speaker 6>You know, he's like just exact starting his life two

96
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 6>years ago.

97
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:26.639
<v Speaker 5>He was going to problem.

98
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.560
<v Speaker 7>Exactly right, And so yeah, I think that's the only

99
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:30.360
<v Speaker 7>thing that like kind.

100
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.040
<v Speaker 6>Of makes you feel a little bad for him.

101
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:35.160
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, so you guys are older than the eighteen obviously,

102
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:37.800
<v Speaker 2>how smart were you at eighteen?

103
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:39.639
<v Speaker 5>Smart?

104
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.279
<v Speaker 4>You think you think I was smart? You know, I

105
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:44.519
<v Speaker 4>think I'm giving you some credit. I think both of

106
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.600
<v Speaker 4>you guys, But you know I'm asking for a reason

107
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.720
<v Speaker 4>because at eighteen, you think you know it all. You

108
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 4>have all these answers out your hands right right, and

109
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:54.680
<v Speaker 4>you're not going to die and nothing bad will ever

110
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:56.480
<v Speaker 4>happen exactly, And then you wake up in the morning

111
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:58.000
<v Speaker 4>and says, what the hell I gotta go to school?

112
00:04:58.040 --> 00:04:59.680
<v Speaker 5>What do I exactly? You know what I'm saying.

113
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:02.480
<v Speaker 2>So, and then I think he's not alone in this decision,

114
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:03.160
<v Speaker 2>because I think his.

115
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:05.160
<v Speaker 5>Dad was part of it. Right, I didn't hear anything

116
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:05.519
<v Speaker 5>about that.

117
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:07.000
<v Speaker 6>There's conflicting reports about it.

118
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:09.759
<v Speaker 2>For report how much influence he had, Yeah, right, right?

119
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:13.680
<v Speaker 2>So uh but if you think your stuff doesn't stink, uh,

120
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:17.639
<v Speaker 2>and you like the Vegas like the Vegas kids. Vin

121
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:19.759
<v Speaker 2>Seasons married two three slua some of that.

122
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:20.360
<v Speaker 5>Yes, like that.

123
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:23.759
<v Speaker 2>So he he demanded more money and they were undefeated,

124
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:25.519
<v Speaker 2>and they says, okay, don't let the door hit you

125
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:27.839
<v Speaker 2>in the ass, and they stayed pretty solid.

126
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.040
<v Speaker 5>They went bowling and they won their bawl.

127
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.519
<v Speaker 2>Right, undefeated, undefeated for a long time until they didn't

128
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:33.319
<v Speaker 2>feel undefeated.

129
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:33.879
<v Speaker 8>Uh.

130
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:36.079
<v Speaker 2>But you know everyone thinks their stuff doesn't stink until

131
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:36.360
<v Speaker 2>it does.

132
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.959
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, mine, and mine never does. I'll tell you that. No, no,

133
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:45.240
<v Speaker 4>your stuff. Yeah, that's why. That's why in a month,

134
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.319
<v Speaker 4>exactly a month and start to sea, I'll be graduating.

135
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:49.639
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, my stuff never stink.

136
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:50.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah.

137
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:52.759
<v Speaker 2>And then guess what happens? Oh, I guess I do

138
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:55.879
<v Speaker 2>smell a little. No one wants to hire me, Blake,

139
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:57.279
<v Speaker 2>set the door, kid, you want to get to go?

140
00:05:57.839 --> 00:05:58.519
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? Okay.

141
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:01.879
<v Speaker 4>Well, so the whole thing about this Nico situation is

142
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:06.199
<v Speaker 4>supposedly it was never about the money. It was supposedly

143
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:11.120
<v Speaker 4>about the offense, the Tennessee offense. And there's no sense.

144
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.720
<v Speaker 4>And you're just hearing that now, exactly. Why didn't you

145
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:17.000
<v Speaker 4>hear it then or mid season? Or they had a

146
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:19.920
<v Speaker 4>good season, right, they went to the college football playoffs.

147
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:22.759
<v Speaker 4>It was obviously a good enough offense to make the playoffs, right,

148
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.319
<v Speaker 4>and he's good enough to handle it too, right exactly?

149
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:25.759
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

150
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, well, well, look who's here do we have to

151
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:29.360
<v Speaker 2>have the trumpets.

152
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.079
<v Speaker 9>I was expecting more of like a red carpet treatment

153
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:35.319
<v Speaker 9>if I was going to be this late, But no,

154
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:37.439
<v Speaker 9>it was just nice. Thanks for thanks for being paid.

155
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:40.680
<v Speaker 9>You must have come from somewhere important. You look halfway decent, yeah,

156
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:41.439
<v Speaker 9>with no hat.

157
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:42.160
<v Speaker 5>Yes.

158
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:44.160
<v Speaker 9>So we're trying to work on an expansion for the

159
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.360
<v Speaker 9>Mexican Baseball Fiesta. So we've had a couple of meetings

160
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.240
<v Speaker 9>with different communities surrounding southern Arizona.

161
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:51.879
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we won't ask you how that goes because it's

162
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:52.560
<v Speaker 2>still way early.

163
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:55.399
<v Speaker 9>Probably, yeah, I mean every all good conversations, right, Good

164
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:55.879
<v Speaker 9>to see.

165
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:56.319
<v Speaker 5>You without a hat.

166
00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:57.759
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, you have the.

167
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:01.399
<v Speaker 9>One side of my head. Don't laugh, Kwan's laughing, don't laugh.

168
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:04.040
<v Speaker 9>List admit it's grown out enough to where I did

169
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:05.879
<v Speaker 9>I tell you about this last week I had. I

170
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:07.480
<v Speaker 9>had to go to a breakfast club and somebody came

171
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:09.279
<v Speaker 9>over and was like, this is two weeks ago.

172
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:09.879
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

173
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:09.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

174
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:11.000
<v Speaker 5>A gentleman came over.

175
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.040
<v Speaker 9>And said, hey, there's an older German here that would

176
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:14.480
<v Speaker 9>like you to remove your hat, and I was like,

177
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:16.600
<v Speaker 9>I would too, but have you seen this haircut? I

178
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:18.600
<v Speaker 9>pulled my hat off and he goes, oh, no, keep

179
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:21.240
<v Speaker 9>the hat on who exploit it to the older gentleman,

180
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:27.959
<v Speaker 9>how's everybody? The older gentleman was the priest? Yea father, father,

181
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.639
<v Speaker 9>good reference. Hey, welcome, welcome, mister Premadada.

182
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:35.519
<v Speaker 5>We're talking.

183
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:38.720
<v Speaker 2>We're talking about another prima donna, the Tennessee quarterback who

184
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:41.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, maybe pulled a few too many strings and

185
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:42.480
<v Speaker 2>now will end up where he ends up.

186
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:47.000
<v Speaker 9>And what's a ripple effect from that through college football?

187
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:47.879
<v Speaker 5>I think it might be a.

188
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Good thing that guys will say, we better not pull

189
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:53.519
<v Speaker 2>this off because we might get one a label of

190
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:56.120
<v Speaker 2>being a pain in the ass. I'm just throwing stuff

191
00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:58.480
<v Speaker 2>out here. Pain of the ass maybe tough to deal with.

192
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:00.759
<v Speaker 2>And who's gonna want to coach me if I act

193
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:02.160
<v Speaker 2>like this? Does that make sense?

194
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:02.399
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

195
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:05.160
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, one hundred percent. I think there's coaches, and we

196
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:06.800
<v Speaker 9>talked about a lot about on the show, But like

197
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:09.800
<v Speaker 9>Tommy Lloyd, I think coaches or recruits on a couple

198
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:12.199
<v Speaker 9>of different levels. But I think character is always one

199
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:13.839
<v Speaker 9>of his, if not the most important.

200
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:16.720
<v Speaker 2>It's up there, right, And he does say this publicly

201
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:21.439
<v Speaker 2>that he's hoping for whatever, hope that he doesn't have

202
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:24.079
<v Speaker 2>to deal with the nil all that much because he's

203
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:27.439
<v Speaker 2>hoping the kids that come here want to be coached

204
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:32.879
<v Speaker 2>up and developed. Notwithstanding they're getting paid too, right, they're

205
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:36.840
<v Speaker 2>getting paid maybe hopefully maybe at a discount price because

206
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:38.120
<v Speaker 2>we're coming here to get developed.

207
00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:41.519
<v Speaker 9>I think when you're looking at and what he's able

208
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:44.440
<v Speaker 9>to do on and off the court from a development standpoint,

209
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:46.759
<v Speaker 9>if I'm a player that wants to go to a

210
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:51.200
<v Speaker 9>program that I see longevity or a career path, you've's

211
00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:53.360
<v Speaker 9>got to be in the top five, I would say,

212
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:56.000
<v Speaker 9>just from a development standpoint, from where they started. I mean,

213
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.440
<v Speaker 9>you're looking at guys like they are. You're looking at

214
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.320
<v Speaker 9>a wakas of the world, especially big men that you're

215
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.200
<v Speaker 9>seeing step on the court the first time. You're going,

216
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:05.039
<v Speaker 9>I don't know if they can play at this level

217
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.240
<v Speaker 9>to the point where they're going. These guys are, I mean,

218
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.120
<v Speaker 9>Vassar is a draft pick at some point.

219
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.200
<v Speaker 2>So let me ask you, because you played for a

220
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:14.159
<v Speaker 2>cup of coffee or two in your baseball career, what

221
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:17.720
<v Speaker 2>level double Yeah, So I'm sure you ran into a

222
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:19.679
<v Speaker 2>number if you weren't one of them. Because I've heard

223
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:22.639
<v Speaker 2>stories already with you in the building the college coming

224
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:25.759
<v Speaker 2>from inside the half and I'll say this because I

225
00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:27.759
<v Speaker 2>was a former baseball player. I've dealt with them in

226
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:29.840
<v Speaker 2>my professional life. They're paid in the assets A lot

227
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:32.320
<v Speaker 2>of them have are Premia Donnas, and you have to

228
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:35.000
<v Speaker 2>be a Premiam Dona to a certain degree to be good, right,

229
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:38.399
<v Speaker 2>to be good. But I'm sure you've saw many of

230
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:40.679
<v Speaker 2>them who thought they were better than they were and

231
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:42.200
<v Speaker 2>probably one and more than they got.

232
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.240
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I'll tell you a perfect story we had, So

233
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:47.320
<v Speaker 9>I think it differs. Right, college guys are a little

234
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:49.759
<v Speaker 9>bit different than high school christ. Right, you've got that maturity,

235
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.720
<v Speaker 9>You've been knocked down a couple of pegs. A high

236
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:55.559
<v Speaker 9>school guys coming in as a high draft pick, he's seventeen,

237
00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:58.879
<v Speaker 9>eighteen years old, he's already a millionaire, close to it,

238
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:02.159
<v Speaker 9>good example, doesn't really understand how the world works, which

239
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:05.039
<v Speaker 9>they shouldn't, right to a degree. Yeah, but we had

240
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:08.240
<v Speaker 9>a guy that wore a Yankees jersey in the clubhouse

241
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:12.200
<v Speaker 9>hold held. He was eighteen, high school draft pick, first year,

242
00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:15.519
<v Speaker 9>gets drafted. Right, we show up, he's wearing a Yankees

243
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.559
<v Speaker 9>jersey and a Mets clubhouse. Mets just paid him six

244
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:20.600
<v Speaker 9>hundred thousand dollars to play for the New York Mets,

245
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:23.559
<v Speaker 9>and they were like, go home, go home, and that

246
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.480
<v Speaker 9>I mean, he didn't last more than two years. There

247
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.440
<v Speaker 9>was already there was already a problem there, but that

248
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.639
<v Speaker 9>thought process. Nobody stepped into his life and said, hey,

249
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:32.840
<v Speaker 9>what are you doing right?

250
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:33.080
<v Speaker 3>Right?

251
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.799
<v Speaker 9>And that's wild to me because I would never That's

252
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:37.960
<v Speaker 9>like going working at PEPSI and all you do is

253
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.840
<v Speaker 9>wear coke stuff like it doesn't Yeah, that your employer

254
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:42.639
<v Speaker 9>is paying you money to show up, why would you

255
00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:43.360
<v Speaker 9>wear something else?

256
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:45.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, before we you came into the room, we were

257
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.360
<v Speaker 2>talking about with Swan and Ray. It's a point where

258
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:51.799
<v Speaker 2>those kids, the high school kids were even older. I

259
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:54.679
<v Speaker 2>think their stuff doesn't stink. And then I am this guy,

260
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:56.399
<v Speaker 2>So don't tell me what to do because I already

261
00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:56.919
<v Speaker 2>know what to do.

262
00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:59.120
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I mean I went through that my junior year

263
00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:01.960
<v Speaker 9>of college. Like I definitely had that mindset. Yeah. I

264
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:04.080
<v Speaker 9>had a really good summer, made the All Star team

265
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:07.480
<v Speaker 9>in the Northwoods League, came in as a preseason All American,

266
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:10.519
<v Speaker 9>and I pretty much pooped the bed the whole time.

267
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.759
<v Speaker 5>So okay, So because of your attitude, you think.

268
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.279
<v Speaker 9>And my work ethic, my attitude, I was already talking

269
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:18.679
<v Speaker 9>to multiple scouts I thought I had the but it

270
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:20.559
<v Speaker 9>was a it was a reality check that I needed

271
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:22.440
<v Speaker 9>in my life at that point. How long did it

272
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:25.440
<v Speaker 9>take you to reset when I got injured? When I

273
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:27.399
<v Speaker 9>had my arm, I had an elbow injury that year

274
00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:30.519
<v Speaker 9>that was really from a maintenance on my body, not

275
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:34.159
<v Speaker 9>being prepared for the season. I realized that my career

276
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:36.399
<v Speaker 9>path could have could have gone away from what I

277
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:36.879
<v Speaker 9>wanted it to be.

278
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:37.720
<v Speaker 5>Was there a point.

279
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Was there a point or or two, or player or

280
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:42.600
<v Speaker 2>two where you said I don't want this guy on

281
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:43.039
<v Speaker 2>my team.

282
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:44.840
<v Speaker 5>Maybe you were that guy that was Yeah.

283
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:47.399
<v Speaker 9>I mean, I'm not going to get into two specifics

284
00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:49.039
<v Speaker 9>plode no, but yeah, I mean I got in a

285
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:54.559
<v Speaker 9>fistfighting clubhouse in low A one time with an outfielder's name.

286
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:55.000
<v Speaker 5>He screwed.

287
00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:56.759
<v Speaker 9>He screwed up a player or something. No, No, No,

288
00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:58.480
<v Speaker 9>I would never do that, and I never blamed. I mean,

289
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:00.919
<v Speaker 9>I'm like, it's the rest on my should No, it's

290
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:02.679
<v Speaker 9>just the attitude that he carried in the clubhouse, the

291
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:05.000
<v Speaker 9>way he dealt with things all we just became the head.

292
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:06.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

293
00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:08.120
<v Speaker 2>And we'll look at this guy from Tennessee and it

294
00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:11.960
<v Speaker 2>happens everywhere too. We're guys, newcomers or whatever show up

295
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.679
<v Speaker 2>on campus and you're thinking, well, this guy thinks a

296
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:17.720
<v Speaker 2>lot of himself and and he's either really good or

297
00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:19.519
<v Speaker 2>he's not as good as he thinks he is. And

298
00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:24.679
<v Speaker 2>then how does that mix with the current chemistry locker room.

299
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:25.960
<v Speaker 5>I mean it's a killer.

300
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:26.360
<v Speaker 8>You know.

301
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:28.360
<v Speaker 9>I don't like to use the term cancer. That's just

302
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:31.919
<v Speaker 9>not something, but uh, it's a it's deflating the balloon

303
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:33.879
<v Speaker 9>that you're trying to inflate going to the season, right.

304
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:36.320
<v Speaker 9>It's just a piece that takes away from the whole,

305
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:37.639
<v Speaker 9>the whole side of the team.

306
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:39.759
<v Speaker 2>And that's it's uh, and that's kind of what we

307
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:43.519
<v Speaker 2>talked about this maybe a day or so ago. Uh, sons,

308
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:44.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, your sons.

309
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.679
<v Speaker 4>If the coach can't fix this, it the coach can't

310
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:50.000
<v Speaker 4>fix it, it's becomes you.

311
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:52.799
<v Speaker 5>You lose the locker room. Rayre, you a Suns fan.

312
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:55.519
<v Speaker 6>I weren't a Warriors.

313
00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:58.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah it was these from the Bay Area, okay, but

314
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:00.320
<v Speaker 4>but you're highly on the.

315
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:02.440
<v Speaker 11>I'm not.

316
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:05.440
<v Speaker 7>But I just thought that I try to cover Arizona

317
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:07.799
<v Speaker 7>stuff when it comes to breaking news, and the you know,

318
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:08.759
<v Speaker 7>they were on the cusps.

319
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:11.799
<v Speaker 2>I was putting you with Howard and having lunch together

320
00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:14.960
<v Speaker 2>because remember that day you saw, Well, I'm thinking, what

321
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:15.840
<v Speaker 2>are you guys talking.

322
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:16.799
<v Speaker 5>About, They're going to tank.

323
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:20.000
<v Speaker 9>He's not a Suns fan now if they make the playoffs,

324
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:24.960
<v Speaker 9>and he's going to be one of the worst fan

325
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:26.720
<v Speaker 9>bases for being fair weather fans.

326
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:28.960
<v Speaker 4>I really had to go find that shut because they were.

327
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:31.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

328
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.480
<v Speaker 9>But to your point, Steve, when you're talking about professional

329
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:37.919
<v Speaker 9>teams and you're looking at culture and building a culture,

330
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:44.559
<v Speaker 9>NBA's NBA is difficult, especially we talked about the coaching

331
00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:47.960
<v Speaker 9>carousel at this point, right, I think there's and I

332
00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:49.759
<v Speaker 9>hate to say this is a player. I think there's

333
00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:52.519
<v Speaker 9>too much control right now with the players at the

334
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.320
<v Speaker 9>NBA level, where once they're unhappy, they take that and

335
00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:58.279
<v Speaker 9>kind of go with it, right, instead of saying, and

336
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.159
<v Speaker 9>I'm not saying this goes for everybody, it's there's specific examples.

337
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:04.240
<v Speaker 9>But the Suns, I mean, how how are you that

338
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:07.519
<v Speaker 9>bad with your roster? How are you not you can

339
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:09.799
<v Speaker 9>have a losing record in the NBA make the playoffs? Right,

340
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:12.799

<v Speaker 3>Toor to Tucson starting tomorrow at noon, and we expect

456
00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:50.319
<v Speaker 3>about ten thousand plus people to come join us in November,

457
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:51.799
<v Speaker 3>So pretty excited around.

458
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:54.279
<v Speaker 5>Here, TJ. How long does it take for that registration?

459
00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:56.359
<v Speaker 9>Because you guys do you do a phenomenal job, and

460
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:58.200
<v Speaker 9>we are so lucky to have you come in and

461
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:00.680
<v Speaker 9>kind of take over that event, change it the way

462
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:03.000
<v Speaker 9>you did. I don't think our community fully understands the

463
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:05.559
<v Speaker 9>economic impact of that event and everything you do behind

464
00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:08.319
<v Speaker 9>the scenes. How long does it take for that registration

465
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:10.359
<v Speaker 9>to kind of sell out because it's a it's such

466
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:12.000
<v Speaker 9>a premium event.

467
00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:17.160
<v Speaker 3>Sure, well, it takes probably about six months to seven months.

468
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:19.880
<v Speaker 3>So we're opening it up now in April, you know,

469
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:23.200
<v Speaker 3>pretty much seven months from now. When we roll into November,

470
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:25.440
<v Speaker 3>people are going to be, you know, bringing their bikes

471
00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:28.000
<v Speaker 3>in the town. We get people from literally all over

472
00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:31.079
<v Speaker 3>the world. So what those people need to know is

473
00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:34.079
<v Speaker 3>that they're registered. They can go to start booking hotel rooms,

474
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:37.319
<v Speaker 3>booking flights, you know, coming from you know, pretty much

475
00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:40.519
<v Speaker 3>from you know, if they're coming from Europe or or

476
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:42.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, some other far away place. It takes a

477
00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:45.880
<v Speaker 3>little bit of planning. So we open up that registration,

478
00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:48.640
<v Speaker 3>let them know that they're in and then they start

479
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:51.480
<v Speaker 3>getting ready, training and making their travel arrangements.

480
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:53.640
<v Speaker 9>And tomorrow is the first day. You start wearing bike

481
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:55.279
<v Speaker 9>shorts every day right to promote the event.

482
00:20:57.519 --> 00:20:58.200
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely.

483
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:01.440
<v Speaker 3>You know, it does get to be about one hundred

484
00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:03.920
<v Speaker 3>degrees here real quick, and I think we already hit

485
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:07.359
<v Speaker 3>one hundred. So you know, Wilf Coate's not going to

486
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:08.200
<v Speaker 3>work the same.

487
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:09.079
<v Speaker 5>Year, less is more.

488
00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:12.599
<v Speaker 2>So I'm wondering just curiosity because I don't know the answer.

489
00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:16.240
<v Speaker 2>So we had about ninety five ninety eight one hundred

490
00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:20.720
<v Speaker 2>last year. Of those how many get ready right away?

491
00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:23.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, they finish the ride, they take a little break,

492
00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:26.839
<v Speaker 2>and then you give them this opportunity for a card,

493
00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:29.400
<v Speaker 2>and how many of them are saying, Okay, I'm coming

494
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:30.279
<v Speaker 2>back no matter what.

495
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:35.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there's there's a good chunk of people that no

496
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:38.240
<v Speaker 3>matter what, you know, this is their annual pilgrimage. They're

497
00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:41.240
<v Speaker 3>going to be here and be ready. There's other people

498
00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:43.359
<v Speaker 3>that just kind of discover the sport. You know, there's

499
00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:45.920
<v Speaker 3>people that made say a new Year's resolution, Hey, I'm

500
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:47.799
<v Speaker 3>gonna get in shape and I'm going to ride out tour,

501
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:52.160
<v Speaker 3>kind of like your old counterpart j that have that, Hey,

502
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:54.799
<v Speaker 3>I just got to have that, you know, goal to

503
00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:58.240
<v Speaker 3>get shape and to ride something or do a marathon

504
00:21:58.359 --> 00:22:01.480
<v Speaker 3>or something like that. So it's a really it's a

505
00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:06.480
<v Speaker 3>goal setting opportunity for people around here that might not

506
00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:09.519
<v Speaker 3>have ever done anything of this kind of magnitude. So

507
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:12.559
<v Speaker 3>we'll take the people that have been doing it for

508
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:14.759
<v Speaker 3>probably thirty years, and we'll take the ones that are

509
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:17.440
<v Speaker 3>the first time up, and they all kind of blend

510
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:18.480
<v Speaker 3>together when it comes.

511
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:22.519
<v Speaker 9>To November and there's different there's different stretches people can

512
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:24.759
<v Speaker 9>sign up for, right, twenty five miles, fifty miles. What

513
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:26.240
<v Speaker 9>can you explain that a little bit?

514
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:27.799
<v Speaker 5>Sure?

515
00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:31.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we've got the long assistance one hundred and two miles, which,

516
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:36.640
<v Speaker 3>believe it or not, the winning times were people averaging

517
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:38.880
<v Speaker 3>twenty nine miles an hour, So there's people that are

518
00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:42.640
<v Speaker 3>ride just unbelievably fast. I mean, these are pro level folks.

519
00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:45.880
<v Speaker 3>Then we have the sixty three miles where one hundred

520
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:48.880
<v Speaker 3>kilometers which is a metric century, and then we have

521
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:52.960
<v Speaker 3>kind of that that, you know, really shorter ride for

522
00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:56.000
<v Speaker 3>people that still want to get out there thirty two miles,

523
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:59.200
<v Speaker 3>and then we have some ones for more families five

524
00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:02.079
<v Speaker 3>mile you know, in a one mile, just just stuff

525
00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:04.640
<v Speaker 3>that's just getting people involved in an event.

526
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no question, we're going to sign up for the

527
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:09.759
<v Speaker 2>one mile, right, Steve, Yes, I'll walk it. No, I'm

528
00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:10.160
<v Speaker 2>too busy.

529
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:12.160
<v Speaker 5>I can't. I don't have time for that, mister Blake.

530
00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:15.079
<v Speaker 9>So you know in fact that you're out there, Blake, Yeah,

531
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:17.920
<v Speaker 9>I listen almost every morning I'm on the peloton.

532
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:19.880
<v Speaker 5>That's a complete lie, like once a month.

533
00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:23.000
<v Speaker 2>So no, in fact that when they get out for

534
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:26.200
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and two, it takes about realistic a little

535
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:28.200
<v Speaker 2>bit more than ten minutes for all those people.

536
00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:31.599
<v Speaker 5>To get through the start. It's that impressive.

537
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:38.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that our lineup very unusual for massive start events

538
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:43.000
<v Speaker 3>like we have. Most of them don't have the bulk

539
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:45.640
<v Speaker 3>of their people riding the big ride. Most of them

540
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:47.400
<v Speaker 3>would be, and they're the shorter rides.

541
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:48.680
<v Speaker 17>Different here.

542
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:51.759
<v Speaker 3>You know, in Tucson, we're probably probably looking about four

543
00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:54.119
<v Speaker 3>thousand people that take off for the Century rides. So

544
00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:57.440
<v Speaker 3>it does take ten minutes for them to roll through

545
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:01.440
<v Speaker 3>that start over on Cushion Street, and so yeah, it's

546
00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:04.599
<v Speaker 3>pretty spectacular. If you want to enjoy, you know, a

547
00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:07.039
<v Speaker 3>cup of coffee or maybe a coffee and a half,

548
00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:09.519
<v Speaker 3>you can just kind of watch watch the writers roll

549
00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:10.880
<v Speaker 3>out early Saturday morning.

550
00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:13.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and they come from out, like you said, from

551
00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:15.680
<v Speaker 2>all over the country. And one of the joys of

552
00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:19.279
<v Speaker 2>this of this event, which I think I helped to

553
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:24.279
<v Speaker 2>promote it, are these stories involved, right, people with cancer

554
00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:27.119
<v Speaker 2>or illnesses that they're doing this because they have a

555
00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:30.200
<v Speaker 2>goal to just do it before or they're writing for

556
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:32.119
<v Speaker 2>someone like that. I mean, they're all over the place.

557
00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:34.559
<v Speaker 2>We had one of this last year that got pressed

558
00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:38.279
<v Speaker 2>all over he had pancreat I think this prank curated

559
00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:42.480
<v Speaker 2>cancer or prostate cancer pretty severe and he wrote this

560
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:43.519
<v Speaker 2>weekend in Scottsdale.

561
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:45.240
<v Speaker 5>They make this a routine.

562
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:50.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean there are some amazing story I mean,

563
00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:52.160
<v Speaker 3>if you know us older guys who would remember, like

564
00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:54.920
<v Speaker 3>Roy Fireson would always have those types of stories, you know,

565
00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:57.640
<v Speaker 3>that would just touch your heart. You can you can

566
00:24:57.759 --> 00:24:59.880
<v Speaker 3>listen to some of these people of why they're riding

567
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:04.039
<v Speaker 3>and it is just, you know, bringing tears to your eyes.

568
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:07.559
<v Speaker 3>They're riding for their late grandfather or you know this

569
00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:11.480
<v Speaker 3>their high school coach that just passed away and that

570
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:14.440
<v Speaker 3>that taught them how to be successful life. I mean,

571
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:18.440
<v Speaker 3>you just hear these stories that you know why, you know,

572
00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:21.839
<v Speaker 3>different people are motivated to ride, and it truly is

573
00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:24.960
<v Speaker 3>just just really tugs in your heartstrings, right.

574
00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:27.720
<v Speaker 9>And if you're just a general like general population you

575
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:29.079
<v Speaker 9>want to there's a chance you can go out there

576
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:31.599
<v Speaker 9>and see a pretty high a lister writing in that ride.

577
00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:34.000
<v Speaker 9>You've had what Patrick Dempsey and you've had Barry Bonds.

578
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:38.079
<v Speaker 9>Who else have you had riding that Will Walton? Yeah,

579
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:39.960
<v Speaker 9>So if you're just a general pop guy that you

580
00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:41.640
<v Speaker 9>want to go out there and see maybe catch a

581
00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:44.079
<v Speaker 9>glimpse of somebody, there's always somebody out there.

582
00:25:46.039 --> 00:25:46.640
<v Speaker 5>Well, just this.

583
00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:50.799
<v Speaker 3>Weekend, for example, at Tortoise, Scottsdale, we had you know,

584
00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:52.680
<v Speaker 3>two of the most famous cyclists in the world that

585
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:55.519
<v Speaker 3>Bradley Wagans, Sir Bradley Wigans that won the Tour de

586
00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:59.160
<v Speaker 3>France just about twelve years ago. We had Lance Armstrong

587
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:03.400
<v Speaker 3>that was that was with us. So we've been known

588
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:06.799
<v Speaker 3>to attract some of the best cyclists in the world.

589
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:09.519
<v Speaker 3>We are also known to attract some of the worst

590
00:26:09.559 --> 00:26:12.200
<v Speaker 3>cyclists in the world, so and then everything in between.

591
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:15.720
<v Speaker 3>So so yeah, we're we're definitely gonna have a handful

592
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:18.400
<v Speaker 3>of pros that will be riding. We do a little

593
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:20.920
<v Speaker 3>thing kind of like a fantasy camp that people ride

594
00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:23.079
<v Speaker 3>with the pros for a couple of days, do some

595
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:26.319
<v Speaker 3>challenging rides leading up to eltor to Tucson. We call

596
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:29.079
<v Speaker 3>it our prologue and we probably have about ten different

597
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:33.519
<v Speaker 3>cyclists that that are, you know, pretty pretty much well

598
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:36.920
<v Speaker 3>known in those fields of being, you know, a former

599
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:37.759
<v Speaker 3>great professional.

600
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:38.160
<v Speaker 10>Right.

601
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:42.680
<v Speaker 2>So over the weekend TJ mentioned this, Uh, Lance Armstrong

602
00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:46.680
<v Speaker 2>was there and Sir Braddie Wiggins. So they've finished midpack.

603
00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I think I think it was, but it's not. Some

604
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:51.440
<v Speaker 2>people attack it as a ride or a race, and

605
00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:53.400
<v Speaker 2>some of the people attack it as a ride. So

606
00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:57.039
<v Speaker 2>imagine you're ahead of Lance Armstrong, right, and you're this

607
00:26:57.400 --> 00:26:59.200
<v Speaker 2>you're the seventy year old guy. Eventually, you know, in

608
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:01.599
<v Speaker 2>five years and years whatever yours and you're sitting down

609
00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:04.559
<v Speaker 2>with your ground. Son says, yeah, back in twenty twenty five,

610
00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:07.559
<v Speaker 2>I beat this guy named LEAs Armstrong. You may know

611
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:09.200
<v Speaker 2>who he is, but I beat him in that ride.

612
00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:11.200
<v Speaker 2>And that'll be the story. You know, you want to

613
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:13.759
<v Speaker 2>tell the complete story. Yeah, yeah, but that'll be the story.

614
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, but that's the cool thing about cycling, because you know,

615
00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:19.559
<v Speaker 3>if you say you went to a fantasy camp. Do you

616
00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:22.079
<v Speaker 3>think Michael Jordan's gonna let him dunk on you?

617
00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:22.640
<v Speaker 17>Probably not.

618
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:26.000
<v Speaker 3>I think I think Jordan would probably relish, you know,

619
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:29.039
<v Speaker 3>swat in your ball away. So that's the cool thing

620
00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:31.359
<v Speaker 3>about cycling. You can go out there, you know, you

621
00:27:31.400 --> 00:27:34.279
<v Speaker 3>can line up with some of the best that ever,

622
00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:36.799
<v Speaker 3>you know, put the helmet on and and ride, and

623
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:39.119
<v Speaker 3>you know, you look down at your score or your

624
00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:42.759
<v Speaker 3>time afterwards, and hey, sure enough, you know I was

625
00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:46.240
<v Speaker 3>two or three places better than this person that that

626
00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:48.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, was one of the people in sort of France.

627
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:51.200
<v Speaker 3>So it's a it's a cool feeling.

628
00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:51.519
<v Speaker 8>You know.

629
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:53.960
<v Speaker 3>The nice thing about the pros that we get they

630
00:27:54.039 --> 00:27:55.920
<v Speaker 3>want to just visit with people. You know, they've had

631
00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:58.799
<v Speaker 3>their glory. They don't need to be you know, winning

632
00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:04.160
<v Speaker 3>any more. But you know, then again they're still competitive people.

633
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:07.400
<v Speaker 3>Last year we had Kobe Deigert, who won a gold

634
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:10.799
<v Speaker 3>medal in the Olympics, who won you know, towards Tucson.

635
00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:14.720
<v Speaker 3>So there's still some people that'll occasionally get that bug

636
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:17.000
<v Speaker 3>to say, hey, you know what, I'm feeling good. I

637
00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:20.079
<v Speaker 3>think I'm just going to go out and crush it today.

638
00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:24.200
<v Speaker 5>So what's the what's the the payment? For tomorrow.

639
00:28:24.279 --> 00:28:26.799
<v Speaker 2>What's the first to encourage people to do it if

640
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:28.480
<v Speaker 2>they already know they're going to be in it, to

641
00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:29.160
<v Speaker 2>get in early.

642
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:32.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So we open it up at one hundred and

643
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:36.680
<v Speaker 3>twenty five dollars. That that's you know, basically gives you

644
00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:38.480
<v Speaker 3>that ride for the for the weekend you come to

645
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:42.960
<v Speaker 3>the expo beforehand, gives you all the eight stations. It takes.

646
00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:45.839
<v Speaker 3>It takes a few dollars to just make sure that

647
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:49.319
<v Speaker 3>we're lining up these roads with plenty officers, barricades, et

648
00:28:49.319 --> 00:28:53.400
<v Speaker 3>cetera to ride this event throughout the city. So it's

649
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:55.640
<v Speaker 3>one hundred and twenty five dollars by the time you

650
00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:58.720
<v Speaker 3>get closer into the event, and it more than doubles,

651
00:28:58.759 --> 00:29:02.519
<v Speaker 3>so you know, better get in early, don't worry about it,

652
00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:04.920
<v Speaker 3>you know, put to put the money down and just say, hey,

653
00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:07.319
<v Speaker 3>start training and have that peace of mind that you're

654
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:08.519
<v Speaker 3>real shirt for the event.

655
00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:09.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

656
00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:11.400
<v Speaker 9>And TJ, can you speak to that because when we

657
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:13.440
<v Speaker 9>first met, I was still pretty wet, not that I'm

658
00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:16.400
<v Speaker 9>not still pretty wet behind the ears, but the barricades

659
00:29:16.440 --> 00:29:18.319
<v Speaker 9>and sheriff. Can you speak to that point of how

660
00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:20.720
<v Speaker 9>many people it takes to put on this event and

661
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:24.240
<v Speaker 9>the size of it is. I blew me away when

662
00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:26.480
<v Speaker 9>we had our first our first conversation a couple of

663
00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:26.960
<v Speaker 9>years ago.

664
00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:33.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, a ballpark, probably about a thousand safety officials throughout,

665
00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:37.480
<v Speaker 3>and that includes people that are you know, putting out

666
00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:43.359
<v Speaker 3>safety signs, cones, barricades, blocking traffic, you know, stuff like that.

667
00:29:43.720 --> 00:29:46.799
<v Speaker 3>There's also hundreds of law books and officers throughout. There's

668
00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:50.519
<v Speaker 3>engineers just checking to make sure all those things are correct.

669
00:29:50.599 --> 00:29:54.000
<v Speaker 3>We have we have doctors out there, we have you know, paramedics,

670
00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:56.799
<v Speaker 3>we have you know, just just a slew of different people,

671
00:29:56.880 --> 00:29:59.799
<v Speaker 3>people cutting up fruit and handing out water and giving

672
00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:03.359
<v Speaker 3>you electrolite, all that good stuff. So you know, if

673
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:05.200
<v Speaker 3>you total up all the people that are out there

674
00:30:05.319 --> 00:30:07.480
<v Speaker 3>that are trying to make this thing safe for you,

675
00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:09.559
<v Speaker 3>it's it's a good thousand people.

676
00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:14.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, of course, how do you benefit from something like this, Blake?

677
00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:15.720
<v Speaker 3>Of course?

678
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:17.519
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I mean tell me, tell me how. Well, there's

679
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:19.640
<v Speaker 9>a couple of different reasons. I mean what El Tour

680
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:21.559
<v Speaker 9>is doing in Tucson. But I mean you also have

681
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:26.000
<v Speaker 9>TJ's got his race in Coaches County as well. So

682
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:29.400
<v Speaker 9>it's it's the six counties that we look at and beneficiing,

683
00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:32.000
<v Speaker 9>but it's it's growing the support the cycling sport, it's

684
00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:34.839
<v Speaker 9>economic impact. We I mean, we don't benefit it from

685
00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:37.880
<v Speaker 9>a financial standpoint, but we benefit from it just from

686
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:42.359
<v Speaker 9>an overall six counties and regional standpoint. I mean, I

687
00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:46.119
<v Speaker 9>don't think you know, sometimes we we and just having

688
00:30:46.119 --> 00:30:49.200
<v Speaker 9>going through this with the World Baseball Classic. The load

689
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:52.319
<v Speaker 9>that TJ carries on a yearly basis is substantial and

690
00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:54.160
<v Speaker 9>what he had to take over and what he's able

691
00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:56.839
<v Speaker 9>to change and do. But that's why I want him

692
00:30:56.839 --> 00:31:00.000
<v Speaker 9>to speak that the barricades, a shriffs, the safety officers,

693
00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:02.160
<v Speaker 9>it's not just fifteen to twenty people, I mean a

694
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:05.920
<v Speaker 9>thousand people. That's an extremely high number for what he's

695
00:31:05.960 --> 00:31:06.359
<v Speaker 9>putting on.

696
00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:09.039
<v Speaker 2>Can you talk about I don't know if you want

697
00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:11.960
<v Speaker 2>to say the public cost you because it ain't cheap

698
00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:14.400
<v Speaker 2>right when it gets When it gets the guys are

699
00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:16.319
<v Speaker 2>starting to pay a hundred seventy five hundred eighty and

700
00:31:16.359 --> 00:31:18.000
<v Speaker 2>they have to ask why is it so expensive?

701
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:19.480
<v Speaker 5>Well, it ain't cheap.

702
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:24.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I mean we could. We could roll it

703
00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:26.400
<v Speaker 3>out in the middle of nowhere and you know, go

704
00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:28.440
<v Speaker 3>out in the middle of the desert and put a

705
00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:31.519
<v Speaker 3>bike race on and and you know, we'd have no

706
00:31:31.640 --> 00:31:35.240
<v Speaker 3>economic impact and they wouldn't be singing hotels, they wouldn't

707
00:31:35.440 --> 00:31:37.640
<v Speaker 3>be sitting on a margarita when they get done. They

708
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:41.759
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't be you know, going into El Charro for dinner afterwards.

709
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:44.839
<v Speaker 3>They'd be you know, getting back you know, wherever they

710
00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:48.359
<v Speaker 3>came from. So the nice part about this, we give

711
00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:51.519
<v Speaker 3>them the entire experience. So just like if you go

712
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:53.799
<v Speaker 3>you know, if you went to the Final Four, you're

713
00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:56.000
<v Speaker 3>gonna you know, you're gonna spend you know, three or

714
00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:58.039
<v Speaker 3>four days over in that city. Check out all the

715
00:31:58.039 --> 00:32:00.359
<v Speaker 3>sights and sounds and all that. Well, this is there.

716
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:03.319
<v Speaker 3>This is their final four for these people that that

717
00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:05.839
<v Speaker 3>ride the bike. So they're gonna come over here. They're

718
00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:07.880
<v Speaker 3>gonna you know, they're gonna ask for us things on

719
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:10.680
<v Speaker 3>the top shelf. It's a it's a group that's got

720
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:14.200
<v Speaker 3>disposable income. It's a good traveler. There's people that come

721
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:18.039
<v Speaker 3>in RVs that take up Airbnb's hotels, et cetera. So

722
00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:22.359
<v Speaker 3>they're spending money here. We want to, you know, provide

723
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:24.359
<v Speaker 3>that opportunity. It is one of the reasons we do

724
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:27.519
<v Speaker 3>it in downtown. You know, that time of year usually

725
00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:29.720
<v Speaker 3>on the weekend. It's a really good time to do

726
00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:33.400
<v Speaker 3>an event in downtown because you know, the businesses aren't

727
00:32:33.440 --> 00:32:35.519
<v Speaker 3>you know, there's no court in session or anything like that.

728
00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:38.480
<v Speaker 3>So so when we have it there, you know, it

729
00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:43.319
<v Speaker 3>fills up hotels, it fills up restaurants, it fills up bars.

730
00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:46.799
<v Speaker 3>The airport has has people flying in from all over.

731
00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:50.319
<v Speaker 3>There's rent of cars going out. So all that stuff

732
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:52.720
<v Speaker 3>is economic impact at its finest.

733
00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:57.519
<v Speaker 2>So so real quick again, one hundred and twenty five dollars.

734
00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Where to go on the website? One and two? When's

735
00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:03.480
<v Speaker 2>the next bump so they can get in now?

736
00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:08.519
<v Speaker 3>Sure, sure it's a elk toward tuson dot org gets

737
00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:11.799
<v Speaker 3>you signed up. That'll give you all the information you

738
00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:15.920
<v Speaker 3>need to know. That next MOMP is at the let's

739
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:17.839
<v Speaker 3>see here, the end of May would be the one

740
00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:20.880
<v Speaker 3>where it bumps up again. So they got about forty

741
00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:24.640
<v Speaker 3>days to get that that one. Five after that it

742
00:33:24.680 --> 00:33:26.759
<v Speaker 3>starts gowing up, probably about ten dollars a month all

743
00:33:26.759 --> 00:33:28.599
<v Speaker 3>the way up until till November.

744
00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:34.440
<v Speaker 2>And maybe lastly, the impact it has nonprofits and the

745
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:36.680
<v Speaker 2>organization organization has raised how.

746
00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:41.880
<v Speaker 3>Much so over time forty two years, one hundred and

747
00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:45.480
<v Speaker 3>thirty million dollars right in that ballpark. You know, a

748
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:47.640
<v Speaker 3>lot of a lot of funds, a lot of little

749
00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:50.920
<v Speaker 3>ten dollars twenty dollars donations that have added up. You know,

750
00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:52.880
<v Speaker 3>some people will do a Hey, I'll give you a

751
00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:55.559
<v Speaker 3>dollar a mile for all you ride. That will go

752
00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:58.359
<v Speaker 3>to that charity. We don't take any of that. It

753
00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:01.480
<v Speaker 3>all goes to those nonprofits. We had about ninety six

754
00:34:01.599 --> 00:34:05.400
<v Speaker 3>nonprofits I believe last year that rode for their cause.

755
00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:07.880
<v Speaker 3>Not only are they out there promoting their cause, but

756
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:11.519
<v Speaker 3>they're raising funds for their cause. So it's a beautiful thing.

757
00:34:11.599 --> 00:34:14.840
<v Speaker 3>Instead of putting on another car wash or a bake sale,

758
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:17.880
<v Speaker 3>you know, they could ride ol tour, raise some funds

759
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:18.880
<v Speaker 3>and raise awareness.

760
00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:19.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

851
00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:55.440
<v Speaker 2>We were talking about the Tennessee Coach Tour Tennessee quarterback

852
00:38:55.960 --> 00:38:56.639
<v Speaker 2>or he'll land.

853
00:38:57.320 --> 00:38:59.320
<v Speaker 5>We still don't know one things.

854
00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:02.119
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you still that's kind of like the front runner,

855
00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:03.440
<v Speaker 2>right front runner.

856
00:39:03.800 --> 00:39:05.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's the consensus right now.

857
00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:10.639
<v Speaker 4>Again, he's probably settling as far as NAL money goes,

858
00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:12.599
<v Speaker 4>but at least.

859
00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:14.400
<v Speaker 5>Someone wants him at this point. Yeah.

860
00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:17.440
<v Speaker 2>So how much do you think in your example with

861
00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:20.119
<v Speaker 2>the kids signing for six hundred thousand blah blah blah

862
00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:23.519
<v Speaker 2>eighteen nineteen years old, right, that has the same type

863
00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:26.119
<v Speaker 2>of impact with the kids in college.

864
00:39:26.039 --> 00:39:26.840
<v Speaker 5>Getting that money.

865
00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:30.079
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I think it's I think it's pretty much the

866
00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:32.880
<v Speaker 9>same thing, right. I mean, I don't know how this

867
00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:35.000
<v Speaker 9>day and age works anymore. Right, I think at some

868
00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:39.320
<v Speaker 9>point in NIL has to become a contract contractual where

869
00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:41.079
<v Speaker 9>it's it's a multi year contract.

870
00:39:41.079 --> 00:39:41.800
<v Speaker 5>We've talked about this.

871
00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:45.000
<v Speaker 9>Another school can you can transfer, but another school has

872
00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:47.079
<v Speaker 9>to buy out or you have to pay for that buyout.

873
00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:50.559
<v Speaker 9>But from a coaching standpoint, I mean, how much longer

874
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:52.599
<v Speaker 9>can you have these elite coaches doing what they're doing

875
00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:54.719
<v Speaker 9>if they have to continually re recruit their own bills.

876
00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:56.039
<v Speaker 5>It's every year.

877
00:39:56.239 --> 00:39:58.679
<v Speaker 2>In fact, we I played something for the guys, send

878
00:39:58.760 --> 00:40:01.079
<v Speaker 2>something to Matt bill Buck for his discussion because us

879
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:04.800
<v Speaker 2>an attorney, but to exactly. Your point was j Bill

880
00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:07.599
<v Speaker 2>is talking about signing contracts three year minimum.

881
00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:09.039
<v Speaker 5>If you want to buy out, you can.

882
00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Buy out or the other school has to buy you

883
00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:11.800
<v Speaker 2>out to get out, you know, to get out of

884
00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:16.119
<v Speaker 2>the thing. I don't know if there's a good solution,

885
00:40:16.280 --> 00:40:19.119
<v Speaker 2>but that's a good one, I mean, a decent one.

886
00:40:19.239 --> 00:40:21.960
<v Speaker 9>Let me ask you, guys this question, and you want

887
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:23.960
<v Speaker 9>to ray you guys might know this more from pole

00:40:34.440 --> 00:40:39.239

891

892
00:40:43.239 --> 00:40:46.119

893
00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:48.119
<v Speaker 9>Like where are we going in the future? Like how

894
00:40:48.159 --> 00:40:50.920
<v Speaker 9>many colleges are going to lose those programs to now

895
00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:57.360
<v Speaker 9>reallocate funding for the for the for the profit programs?

00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:14.639
<v Speaker 8>High school, so you've found that area.

904
00:41:14.760 --> 00:41:19.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and now they got a problem because they got.

905
00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:22.679
<v Speaker 8>A kid from Appalachian State who came in.

906
00:41:24.840 --> 00:41:28.000
<v Speaker 3>Did the portal to come play with this coming season,

907
00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:31.239
<v Speaker 3>and now he's looking at going somewhere else because he's

908
00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:33.559
<v Speaker 3>not too sure what's going to happen that they do

909
00:41:33.719 --> 00:41:37.920
<v Speaker 3>sign his kid. But the one thing too is UCLA

910
00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:41.800
<v Speaker 3>can't afford four million dollars right right there.

911
00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:43.840
<v Speaker 8>There's no possible way they can afford that.

912
00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:46.559
<v Speaker 2>Right yeah, no question. Now you have to pick your spots.

913
00:41:46.599 --> 00:41:48.679
<v Speaker 2>The funny thing about it, Brian, and you're old enough,

914
00:41:48.719 --> 00:41:50.639
<v Speaker 2>like like all of a sudden, we'll talk about this.

915
00:41:50.679 --> 00:41:52.199
<v Speaker 5>Would like the competition.

916
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:55.239
<v Speaker 2>They don't want to stay anywhere where you're gonna have

917
00:41:55.280 --> 00:41:57.519
<v Speaker 2>to face competition because you want to play it right away.

918
00:41:57.519 --> 00:42:01.079
<v Speaker 3>Right well, you know with all them me being thrown around,

919
00:42:01.079 --> 00:42:03.960
<v Speaker 3>why should you.

920
00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:04.920
<v Speaker 8>You know, I mean lot me.

921
00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:06.119
<v Speaker 17>Okay, there are kids who are.

922
00:42:06.039 --> 00:42:10.800
<v Speaker 3>Gonna have a shot at playing professional football.

923
00:42:11.239 --> 00:42:14.760
<v Speaker 8>Besides college is professional football now, but I mean the NFL.

924
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:18.719
<v Speaker 17>But some of these kids have no shot at all playing.

925
00:42:18.719 --> 00:42:20.719
<v Speaker 3>So what they're doing is I'm gonna collect the money

926
00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:25.760
<v Speaker 3>now and then worry about life later. Oh yeah, no question,

927
00:42:26.159 --> 00:42:29.519
<v Speaker 3>it's it's you know, it's just you know, it's it's

928
00:42:29.559 --> 00:42:31.960
<v Speaker 3>just real difficult, you know to should watch and stuff,

929
00:42:31.960 --> 00:42:33.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, because like you said, we're older and we're

930
00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:34.599
<v Speaker 3>not used.

931
00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:38.000
<v Speaker 8>To this, you know, and we this is like a.

932
00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:39.920
<v Speaker 17>Slap in the face for the slap in the face

933
00:42:39.960 --> 00:42:43.079
<v Speaker 17>of the fans. Do you know, the people who put

934
00:42:43.119 --> 00:42:43.320
<v Speaker 17>up the.

935
00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:45.280
<v Speaker 8>Money, you know, go to the games and everything.

936
00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:47.760
<v Speaker 2>Do you think, both of you guys, all three of

937
00:42:47.800 --> 00:42:52.280
<v Speaker 2>you guys, uh, that this will sour sports watching sports

938
00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:55.440
<v Speaker 2>caring when you have your teams out there or other

939
00:42:55.480 --> 00:42:58.199
<v Speaker 2>teams just casual you see. God, this is kind of

940
00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:01.599
<v Speaker 2>like it's great entertainment or entertainment. But you have this

941
00:43:01.760 --> 00:43:04.039
<v Speaker 2>thought in back in your mind. These guys are getting paid.

942
00:43:04.079 --> 00:43:06.639
<v Speaker 2>They're getting paid a ton of money. Does it salary?

943
00:43:06.719 --> 00:43:11.320
<v Speaker 3>You know, it may bring more people into watching professional

944
00:43:11.360 --> 00:43:15.760
<v Speaker 3>sports because they figure, I'm getting the same thing at college,

945
00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:21.039
<v Speaker 3>but it's much better talent wise, and you know, and uh,

946
00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:24.599
<v Speaker 3>and watching the NFL then is college and all getting paid.

947
00:43:24.599 --> 00:43:26.840
<v Speaker 3>So why not watch the better of the people getting paid?

948
00:43:27.599 --> 00:43:28.079
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

949
00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:30.039
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I mean from my standpoint, I think it's just

950
00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:32.360
<v Speaker 9>the drastic change that you're going to see is it's

951
00:43:32.400 --> 00:43:34.840
<v Speaker 9>gonna it's just going to continue to become more regional

952
00:43:35.039 --> 00:43:39.599
<v Speaker 9>from a university standpoint, where they started losing the national

953
00:43:39.639 --> 00:43:41.559
<v Speaker 9>appeal because of that, and you you hit the buy

954
00:43:41.599 --> 00:43:44.960
<v Speaker 9>in from the fan base in their hometown, but probably

955
00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:47.119
<v Speaker 9>not the excitement that you would create on a national

956
00:43:47.199 --> 00:43:50.000
<v Speaker 9>level because of that. Yeah, but you're seeing droppings right

957
00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:52.639
<v Speaker 9>now and NBA level. I mean you're seeing you know,

958
00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:54.880
<v Speaker 9>everything you're seeing in Major League Baseball. I mean, like

959
00:43:55.079 --> 00:43:58.000
<v Speaker 9>the viewership numbers are down across the board. And I

960
00:43:58.000 --> 00:44:00.800
<v Speaker 9>think this plays into it because it's all just kind

961
00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:04.039
<v Speaker 9>of a convoluted pool of a mass right now. I mean,

962
00:44:04.039 --> 00:44:06.159
<v Speaker 9>there's so much payment on all these levels.

963
00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:08.559
<v Speaker 3>You have to figure out where where am I going

964
00:44:08.559 --> 00:44:10.480
<v Speaker 3>to put my money? If I if I have enough

965
00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:13.519
<v Speaker 3>money or entertainment, where am I going to put it?

966
00:44:13.639 --> 00:44:15.119
<v Speaker 3>Am I going to put it in college? Am I

967
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:16.440
<v Speaker 3>going to put it in pros? Yeah?

968
00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:18.679
<v Speaker 17>And this is before I need to ask you.

969
00:44:19.079 --> 00:44:21.280
<v Speaker 3>Has anybody heard about Carter Bryant's doing.

970
00:44:21.800 --> 00:44:23.039
<v Speaker 5>No, we don't know yet.

971
00:44:23.800 --> 00:44:26.800
<v Speaker 2>He hasn't til the twenty sixth, I think we said yesterday, no,

972
00:44:26.800 --> 00:44:29.480
<v Speaker 2>no hint of anything. People are going to speculate whether

973
00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:32.119
<v Speaker 2>it takes him longer that he'll stay if it takes

974
00:44:32.159 --> 00:44:34.880
<v Speaker 2>him sooner, and it's already passed the sooner part, you know,

975
00:44:34.880 --> 00:44:35.519
<v Speaker 2>a month and two.

976
00:44:35.599 --> 00:44:38.519
<v Speaker 3>I've noticed that more of these people who do do

977
00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:39.239
<v Speaker 3>come out.

978
00:44:39.559 --> 00:44:42.360
<v Speaker 8>We're predicted to go ahead of him. He may look

979
00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:42.719
<v Speaker 8>at us.

980
00:44:42.760 --> 00:44:44.440
<v Speaker 17>If I stay one more year, I could be one of.

981
00:44:44.440 --> 00:44:45.440
<v Speaker 8>Those top ten guys.

982
00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:49.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because right now, all these other guys coming out,

983
00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:50.920
<v Speaker 3>everybody says, well, he's a top ten guy, he's the

984
00:44:50.920 --> 00:44:54.039
<v Speaker 3>top fifteen guy. Does that push Parter Bryant back down

985
00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:56.960
<v Speaker 3>the list? Maybe being a twenty five to thirty.

986
00:44:56.719 --> 00:45:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Guy and making a nice chunk to change here whatever

987
00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:03.440
<v Speaker 2>that Trump to change is right, and probably making more

988
00:45:03.440 --> 00:45:06.280
<v Speaker 2>money here than he would as a rookie his first.

989
00:45:06.079 --> 00:45:09.960
<v Speaker 9>Year, right, right, I know what he's gonna do, but

990
00:45:10.000 --> 00:45:11.599
<v Speaker 9>I'm not gonna tell you guys till at twenty six.

991
00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:16.119
<v Speaker 8>Okay, Knights, have someone in the know on your show.

992
00:45:18.599 --> 00:45:22.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he's just used to hearing the know. Okay, thanks Brian.

993
00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:24.599
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, okay, we'll talk to you.

994
00:45:24.599 --> 00:45:29.039
<v Speaker 5>You heard of John Matier, John Mattier one m a

995
00:45:29.239 --> 00:45:30.360
<v Speaker 5>t e R.

996
00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:36.719
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma paid quarterback John Mytteer three million just got reported. Okay,

997
00:45:37.199 --> 00:45:39.719
<v Speaker 2>well these quarterbacks making a ton of money. All these

998
00:45:39.719 --> 00:45:41.440
<v Speaker 2>guys are making a ton of money. Well, what's the

999
00:45:41.519 --> 00:45:43.760
<v Speaker 2>kid from BYU the number one overall prospective?

1000
00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:45.719
<v Speaker 5>Eight million? Yeah, something like that.

1001
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:48.599
<v Speaker 2>Here's the here's the catch though, So Phoenix is looking

1002
00:45:48.639 --> 00:45:50.599
<v Speaker 2>for a quarterback, I mean a coach, right of Phoenix,

1003
00:45:50.639 --> 00:45:52.719
<v Speaker 2>the Suns. Guess who might be on the top of

1004
00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:55.960
<v Speaker 2>that list. M the b YU the b YU coach.

1005
00:45:56.079 --> 00:45:58.639
<v Speaker 2>I could see that. Who just came from the NBA. Yeah,

1006
00:45:58.679 --> 00:46:01.559
<v Speaker 2>he came from Phoenix. Right. So if this kid who

1007
00:46:01.719 --> 00:46:04.639
<v Speaker 2>got eight million to go play at BYU, probably because

1008
00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:07.199
<v Speaker 2>of the coach. Now the coach may not be there.

1009
00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:09.480
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I don't know that's that. I mean, you're running

1010
00:46:09.599 --> 00:46:11.360
<v Speaker 9>that situation. And if you're a coach, which one do

1011
00:46:11.400 --> 00:46:14.920
<v Speaker 9>you prefer to go? I mean, the NBA, any professional

1012
00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:17.440
<v Speaker 9>level sports has to be more appealing at this point.

1013
00:46:17.559 --> 00:46:18.280
<v Speaker 5>You'd think that.

1014
00:46:18.400 --> 00:46:21.679
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I would assume that just from the current landscape.

1015
00:46:21.840 --> 00:46:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and if you get fired in one year, you're

1016
00:46:23.360 --> 00:46:24.400
<v Speaker 2>still gonna get paid ten to.

1017
00:46:24.440 --> 00:46:28.159
<v Speaker 9>Twelve Yeah, I'm signing a five year contract, right, maybe more?

1018
00:46:28.480 --> 00:46:31.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So we'll see. What did you say a couple

1019
00:46:31.679 --> 00:46:34.599
<v Speaker 2>of days ago? That the Phoenix is paying the assistant

1020
00:46:34.639 --> 00:46:37.320
<v Speaker 2>coaches seventy five million. Oh no, no, that must have

1021
00:46:37.320 --> 00:46:43.800
<v Speaker 2>been yesterday with Kobe that although for Vogel, Williams, this

1022
00:46:43.880 --> 00:46:49.360
<v Speaker 2>guy Budenhaalzer are getting paid seventy five million dollars to

1023
00:46:49.400 --> 00:46:50.079
<v Speaker 2>go away.

1024
00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:51.199
<v Speaker 5>The whole staff.

1025
00:46:51.599 --> 00:46:55.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, all the three recently fired coaches. Oh you

1026
00:46:55.079 --> 00:46:57.400
<v Speaker 2>mean as a collective as the head coach is going away?

1027
00:46:57.519 --> 00:46:59.800
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, well I think Budenholser only had like I think

1028
00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:02.320
<v Speaker 7>like a three year seventy.

1029
00:47:02.079 --> 00:47:03.360
<v Speaker 6>Five million dollars.

1030
00:47:03.840 --> 00:47:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Well whatever, Yeah, because they're staying paying, they're paying the locals.

1031
00:47:08.079 --> 00:47:09.679
<v Speaker 5>They were paying him twenty five million year.

1032
00:47:09.880 --> 00:47:12.360
<v Speaker 6>They were paying him a lot. Maybe not that much, but.

1033
00:47:12.440 --> 00:47:15.119
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, that seems like, yeah, you you have a lot more. Say,

1034
00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:17.519
<v Speaker 9>if you're paying a coach twenty five million, I want

1035
00:47:17.559 --> 00:47:19.480
<v Speaker 9>him to Yeah, you probably want him to get on

1036
00:47:19.519 --> 00:47:21.079
<v Speaker 9>the court and play.

1037
00:47:22.519 --> 00:47:25.639
<v Speaker 5>True. Yeah, we'll see anybody else want to call it?

1038
00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:27.440
<v Speaker 5>Here's a question, right, here's a question.

1039
00:47:27.880 --> 00:47:29.920
<v Speaker 9>Do you think you'll ever see and this is our

1040
00:47:30.079 --> 00:47:32.880
<v Speaker 9>this is probably more our day and age, you'll ever

1041
00:47:32.920 --> 00:47:35.320
<v Speaker 9>see a player coach in any sport?

1042
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:35.599
<v Speaker 10>Again?

1043
00:47:35.760 --> 00:47:36.039
<v Speaker 5>Question?

1044
00:47:36.199 --> 00:47:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Good question, Probably not, because the only guy that would

1045
00:47:40.360 --> 00:47:43.559
<v Speaker 2>do it now would be Lebron, Right, Yeah, he's kind

1046
00:47:43.559 --> 00:47:49.519
<v Speaker 2>of doing it now anyway, or has had KD KD. Yeah, yeah,

1047
00:47:49.639 --> 00:47:51.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean I feel like those guys could do it

1048
00:47:51.320 --> 00:47:55.360
<v Speaker 2>on a like a like a mid market team where

1049
00:47:55.679 --> 00:47:57.840
<v Speaker 2>they bring fans to the stadium, but there's still is

1050
00:47:57.880 --> 00:48:01.159
<v Speaker 2>a collective training to control. I just use did a

1051
00:48:01.199 --> 00:48:03.880
<v Speaker 2>little bit. And I don't think I know Pete Rose

00:48:29.719 --> 00:48:32.000
<v Speaker 9>supercomputers on this side of the table. Over here, I've

1062
00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:35.760
<v Speaker 9>got another call. Are we hanging ten surfing?

1063
00:48:35.760 --> 00:48:36.000
<v Speaker 6>Hello?

1064
00:48:36.039 --> 00:48:36.880
<v Speaker 5>You're on there nine on the ball.

1065
00:48:36.920 --> 00:48:37.199
<v Speaker 17>Who's this?

1066
00:48:38.679 --> 00:48:38.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

1067
00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:44.400
<v Speaker 21>This is Frank. Hey, Frank, you were asking to Brian

1068
00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:48.039
<v Speaker 21>whether this is just an I L and all this

1069
00:48:48.119 --> 00:48:53.280
<v Speaker 21>stuff going on the transfer portal is going to sour people.

1070
00:48:53.519 --> 00:48:55.559
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, well I think it is.

1071
00:48:56.159 --> 00:49:00.280
<v Speaker 21>I'm feeling it myself. I'm still one hundred percent, said

1072
00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:04.760
<v Speaker 21>Arizona Wildcat fan, but I'm not inclined to buy season

1073
00:49:04.840 --> 00:49:09.119
<v Speaker 21>tickets as I used to do, And so I'll catch

1074
00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:12.159
<v Speaker 21>a game here and there and I'll watch them on TV.

1075
00:49:12.639 --> 00:49:14.079
<v Speaker 5>So let me let me ask you.

1076
00:49:14.679 --> 00:49:16.119
<v Speaker 2>Let me ask you, Frank, is that because of the

1077
00:49:16.199 --> 00:49:19.440
<v Speaker 2>price you did this? Because they put extra fifty dollars

1078
00:49:20.039 --> 00:49:22.519
<v Speaker 2>dollars on the above and beyond the price ticket.

1079
00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:24.719
<v Speaker 5>Is that because of that? Or you just soured on

1080
00:49:24.760 --> 00:49:25.199
<v Speaker 5>the whole thing.

1081
00:49:26.920 --> 00:49:30.400
<v Speaker 21>Well, it's a combination, I think mostly that, you know,

1082
00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:33.719
<v Speaker 21>I mean, we grew up when players were loyal to

1083
00:49:33.840 --> 00:49:36.880
<v Speaker 21>the school. I mean I was expected and that would

1084
00:49:36.920 --> 00:49:40.960
<v Speaker 21>be you know, three four years and now there's no

1085
00:49:41.119 --> 00:49:45.119
<v Speaker 21>loyalty at all, and uh and yeah, and the prices

1086
00:49:45.199 --> 00:49:47.920
<v Speaker 21>are growing up also, you know. And also like eight

1087
00:49:47.960 --> 00:49:51.840
<v Speaker 21>pm games don't really work for me, especially football, long

1088
00:49:51.920 --> 00:49:52.519
<v Speaker 21>football game.

1089
00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:55.760
<v Speaker 5>So yeah, right right now, I agree with you.

1090
00:49:55.800 --> 00:49:57.920
<v Speaker 2>And guess what the audience is most of many of

1091
00:49:58.000 --> 00:50:00.800
<v Speaker 2>the audience members are guys like Frank and guys like

1092
00:50:00.880 --> 00:50:03.280
<v Speaker 2>me who are older and want to get home in

1093
00:50:03.400 --> 00:50:08.239
<v Speaker 2>a good hour. Right yeah, right right, thanks Frank, Thanks,

1094
00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:11.360
<v Speaker 2>thanks Frank, thank you for Yeah, I'm.

1095
00:50:11.239 --> 00:50:13.840
<v Speaker 5>Sure of course, Frank, we got about a minute or so. Yeah,

1096
00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:14.880
<v Speaker 5>real quick on that though.

1097
00:50:14.920 --> 00:50:16.920
<v Speaker 9>I mean I think at some point people are choosing

1098
00:50:17.000 --> 00:50:18.639
<v Speaker 9>where to spend their money, right, Yeah, So I mean,

1099
00:50:19.239 --> 00:50:22.039
<v Speaker 9>like for me, we talked about it, like, I'm yeah,

1100
00:50:22.079 --> 00:50:23.760
<v Speaker 9>the season ticket piece. You brought it to the attention

1101
00:50:23.840 --> 00:50:25.800
<v Speaker 9>that we're going to get charged extra fifty dollars. That's

1102
00:50:25.880 --> 00:50:27.639
<v Speaker 9>one thing. But then I go on and have to

1103
00:50:27.679 --> 00:50:29.639
<v Speaker 9>pay for ESPN Plus because I don't want to miss

1104
00:50:29.639 --> 00:50:32.239
<v Speaker 9>any of the away games. Like at some point, it's

1105
00:50:32.280 --> 00:50:35.079
<v Speaker 9>not it's no longer free to watch games, even if

1106
00:50:35.119 --> 00:50:35.920
<v Speaker 9>you're not going to the game.

1107
00:50:35.960 --> 00:50:36.920
<v Speaker 5>So let me ask you, and you.

1108
00:50:36.920 --> 00:50:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Don't have to answer this because it's kind of a

1109
00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:40.920
<v Speaker 2>personal question, but in a game, you I think you

1110
00:50:41.159 --> 00:50:44.480
<v Speaker 2>how many ever ticket you have, you get parking, you

1111
00:50:44.559 --> 00:50:45.079
<v Speaker 2>get food.

1112
00:50:45.400 --> 00:50:47.840
<v Speaker 5>What's what's the daily game cost you?

1113
00:50:50.760 --> 00:50:50.920
<v Speaker 8>Oh?

1114
00:50:51.280 --> 00:50:53.039
<v Speaker 5>I haven't broken it down. I mean I could.

1115
00:50:53.280 --> 00:50:58.840
<v Speaker 9>I would say two hundred ticket, parking, food. It's probably

1116
00:50:58.840 --> 00:51:00.960
<v Speaker 9>a little lower than that because every things in the package.

1117
00:51:01.840 --> 00:51:04.280
<v Speaker 9>But let's call it one hundred dollars per person and more.

1118
00:51:04.360 --> 00:51:07.480
<v Speaker 9>That's that's not a cheap ticket, no, I mean it's

1119
00:51:07.599 --> 00:51:10.559
<v Speaker 9>I mean, there's only so much and it's going away

1120
00:51:10.760 --> 00:51:13.760
<v Speaker 9>drastically as we start to progress, especially for these young

1121
00:51:13.800 --> 00:51:18.320
<v Speaker 9>guys like Ray and One, the discretion discretionary income. It's

1122
00:51:18.400 --> 00:51:21.039
<v Speaker 9>no longer like who's got enough money to pay for

1123
00:51:21.320 --> 00:51:23.239
<v Speaker 9>rent to rent a house? Who's got enough money? And

1124
00:51:23.239 --> 00:51:24.960
<v Speaker 9>I'm not trying to get on a box here, No,

1125
00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:26.920
<v Speaker 9>you're right. But then when you do have a little

1126
00:51:26.960 --> 00:51:29.199
<v Speaker 9>extra money left over, or you're gonna go spend that

1127
00:51:29.280 --> 00:51:32.159
<v Speaker 9>on a on a game that is going to completely

1128
00:51:32.239 --> 00:51:33.599
<v Speaker 9>wipe you out, or are you going to watch that

1129
00:51:33.719 --> 00:51:34.559
<v Speaker 9>game somewhere and.

1130
00:51:35.039 --> 00:51:37.719
<v Speaker 2>It could possibly disappoint you, or spend that money out

1131
00:51:37.760 --> 00:51:40.920
<v Speaker 2>of dinner with your significant other and enjoy the game

1132
00:51:40.960 --> 00:51:41.599
<v Speaker 2>on a big screen.

1133
00:51:41.599 --> 00:51:43.760
<v Speaker 5>You know what I'm saying, Yeah, with your hot shake

1134
00:51:43.800 --> 00:51:53.920
<v Speaker 5>one day?

1135
00:51:53.920 --> 00:51:56.920
<v Speaker 9>Why I always settled out walking in with a with

1136
00:51:57.039 --> 00:51:59.239
<v Speaker 9>a mink coat on and a cane and you have

1137
00:51:59.360 --> 00:52:00.639
<v Speaker 9>four bays both arms.

1138
00:52:00.800 --> 00:52:03.360
<v Speaker 2>This is your story telling, man, This is your story

1139
00:52:03.920 --> 00:52:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Empidelic over here. We gotta go with that.

1140
00:52:06.039 --> 00:52:06.320
<v Speaker 5>We'll go
