<v Speaker 4>Did you watch the game first time?

23
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:05.959
<v Speaker 3>But I heard some commentary today about the parents not

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.040
<v Speaker 3>being there because it was an anniversary. Oh and they're

25
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:09.560
<v Speaker 3>easy had the game when they played each other, but

26
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:10.840
<v Speaker 3>I guess they didn't go to this one.

27
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.439
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Okay, well there's important stuff, and thre's important stuff.

28
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:15.359
<v Speaker 3>Your two sons playing against each other NFL. I gu

29
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:16.120
<v Speaker 3>it's not that important.

30
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well that's why they had the anniversary. Now they

31
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:20.239
<v Speaker 2>have the kids, right, let them enjoy it. It was

32
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:21.879
<v Speaker 2>a pretty good game, I thought. Yeah, it was a

33
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:22.359
<v Speaker 2>good game.

34
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:28.079
<v Speaker 6>Memphis defeats number two Yukon and ot Thriller, giving Dan

35
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:30.439
<v Speaker 6>Hurley and the Husky's their first loss in February.

36
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:30.719
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

37
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.040
<v Speaker 2>I think they had won seventeen straight. He went ballistic.

38
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah did you see that? No, he went ballistic. They

39
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:38.680
<v Speaker 2>lost for the first time. It was he claims it

40
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.920
<v Speaker 2>was a bad call over the top against Memphis. They

41
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:43.439
<v Speaker 2>won today. I think they were winning today. They were

42
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:47.480
<v Speaker 2>playing Colorado. Yeah, so you know they're gonna be good again.

43
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.840
<v Speaker 2>We know what happens in November, right, not a damn thing.

44
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:52.400
<v Speaker 3>Well, but you guys cover sports all the time. Do

45
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:54.519
<v Speaker 3>you like when you know when people get upset, when

46
00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:56.359
<v Speaker 3>a coach gets upset over a loss like that.

47
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.920
<v Speaker 2>In our capacity, Yeah, I'm just for the story.

48
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.239
<v Speaker 3>But losing with Grace is that is that a good

49
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:03.879
<v Speaker 3>thing or is it?

50
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:04.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

51
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.239
<v Speaker 3>Really, should you really be more upset about a loss?

52
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.240
<v Speaker 3>Let's talk about that. Who who's part of view conscious

53
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.080
<v Speaker 3>of what we're going through right now with football? Like

54
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:14.319
<v Speaker 3>should he be more upset or should he be?

55
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:16.520
<v Speaker 4>A good question? You know, good question.

56
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.240
<v Speaker 2>You think that he would be rich Rod. I'll give

57
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:22.199
<v Speaker 2>you rich Rod. Rich Rod was kind of like a

58
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.000
<v Speaker 2>little brat who lost. And I did that story, he says,

59
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.400
<v Speaker 2>because he hated to lose. And he would tell me

60
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:29.240
<v Speaker 2>when he was a kid, he wouldn't talk to people,

61
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:31.199
<v Speaker 2>he'd cry, put a towel over his head, and I

62
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:31.680
<v Speaker 2>got that.

63
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:33.319
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure you were like that when.

64
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, I was. I know, like I hung out

65
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.319
<v Speaker 3>more with the Stoops brothers if anything, because that was

66
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:41.599
<v Speaker 3>a different time and I was I had more time

67
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:43.039
<v Speaker 3>in my life to have kids yet, and so I

68
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:44.840
<v Speaker 3>hung out with those guys a lot. And I know

69
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:46.960
<v Speaker 3>those guys hated to lose. They really did. And you

70
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:49.039
<v Speaker 3>have to beat up each other about you have to.

71
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:52.360
<v Speaker 2>If you're if you're gonna be, if you're gonna be

72
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.000
<v Speaker 2>good at what you do, you have to hate to lose.

73
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:57.479
<v Speaker 2>In fact, the question I always asked when I talked

74
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:00.560
<v Speaker 2>to a new coach, is do you hate losing more

75
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.639
<v Speaker 2>than you like winning? And every time it's hell, yeah, yeah.

76
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.599
<v Speaker 3>You kind of wonder right now, do our guys hate

77
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.039
<v Speaker 3>losing or are they accepting it?

78
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:13.919
<v Speaker 2>You're that's the number one question one. And and see,

79
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:15.879
<v Speaker 2>this is what I observe Ray, and I may or

80
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.719
<v Speaker 2>may be totally wrong. They're just not playing hard for bread.

81
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:22.759
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I mean, I can't speak to the injuries.

82
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:26.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't know enough about football. I don't know about sports.

83
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:31.319
<v Speaker 3>I just I believe that sometimes that feeling that you

84
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:34.280
<v Speaker 3>get from somebody helps motivate you in a way that

85
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.479
<v Speaker 3>you didn't even think about it exactly. Like you know,

86
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:39.639
<v Speaker 3>I can tell you right now, my mom, who's our

87
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.199
<v Speaker 3>our iconic leader and the boss, still hates to lose, right,

88
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:45.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean, she doesn't like when her food's wrong, she

89
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.240
<v Speaker 3>doesn't like when something goes wrong. And she's the nicest person.

90
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:50.719
<v Speaker 3>Was Oh, she's an angel. Yeah, get her in a

91
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:51.960
<v Speaker 3>room where things didn't go right.

92
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Let me ask you this because I'm glad you kind

93
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.080
<v Speaker 2>of went there with you and her. When you go

94
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.800
<v Speaker 2>visit your stores, right you go probably shopping around kind

95
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.800
<v Speaker 2>of see what's going on the Do the employees that

96
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:06.439
<v Speaker 2>you have do they I want to say, work harder?

97
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>But do they do they feel different when you're in

98
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:09.000
<v Speaker 2>the room.

99
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:11.280
<v Speaker 3>Well, I hope not. I mean we hope that there's

100
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.360
<v Speaker 3>an intensity all the time about hospitality or whatever. There's

101
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.439
<v Speaker 3>no doubt. Then when we walk in a room, you

102
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.079
<v Speaker 3>know there is a there is a sure you know,

103
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:20.519
<v Speaker 3>their hair raises up on their back a little bit

104
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:22.959
<v Speaker 3>because we're here and we and there's others who just

105
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.160
<v Speaker 3>ignore it. But I think the biggest thing for me

106
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:26.360
<v Speaker 3>that I want to get out of them is like

107
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:29.079
<v Speaker 3>that intensity not to lose the guests, to win on

108
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 3>the hospitality side is something that we're trying to get

109
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:35.879
<v Speaker 3>all the time. And if we accept the failure, then

110
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:37.079
<v Speaker 3>we are teaching them.

111
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:41.199
<v Speaker 2>That translate into sports and you're good. That's exactly what

112
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:44.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying. And I don't know, I don't know if

113
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.199
<v Speaker 2>it can can be fixed or not. It's like to me,

114
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:51.360
<v Speaker 2>the absenity landlord or the substitute teacher. Once you lose it, how.

115
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:52.279
<v Speaker 4>Do you get that back?

116
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because you're not the teacher, you're the and I

117
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:58.120
<v Speaker 3>and like I said, I think all these guys now

118
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.959
<v Speaker 3>with the nil and what they're dealing with. I can't

119
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.759
<v Speaker 3>imagine it, you know, because they can just jump ships

120
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.319
<v Speaker 3>so quick, and they've got so many year you know,

121
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:10.120
<v Speaker 3>ear voices in their ears and things on their phone screens.

122
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.839
<v Speaker 3>But it's still it's still something that even if we

123
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:15.800
<v Speaker 3>have injuries, and even if we I'd just like to

124
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:19.319
<v Speaker 3>know that they hate losing, you know, I get it.

125
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 3>But do they hate losing?

126
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:22.399
<v Speaker 4>Right, right, because we'll hate with you.

127
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:23.680
<v Speaker 3>We'll hate losing with you, right yeah.

128
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you change the culture, right, you change the culture,

129
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.199
<v Speaker 2>you change them to get it right.

130
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:30.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm sure Brent hates losing.

131
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:31.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

132
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.079
<v Speaker 2>The thing is, I think that people want to see it.

133
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:35.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and that may not be a style or maybe

134
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:36.920
<v Speaker 3>they'll get there. I don't know, And it could all

135
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:38.759
<v Speaker 3>be just this wave of things that are happening that

136
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:40.959
<v Speaker 3>we don't know about. Sure, I'm sure as heck know

137
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:43.800
<v Speaker 3>that he he's not. This is not what he wanted

138
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.800
<v Speaker 3>to have happened, And I sure I feel for him.

139
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:48.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, if it did, well, he's in the wrong game.

140
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:50.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah right, you don't plays lose.

141
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:51.639
<v Speaker 3>I feel for him, go want him to win.

142
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:56.560
<v Speaker 6>Aaron Rodgers says he's undecided on playing in twenty twenty five,

143
00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:59.360
<v Speaker 6>but returning to the Jets would be his first choice.

144
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:04.839
<v Speaker 3>You you know again, I you know, it's kind of

145
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:07.240
<v Speaker 3>like what they what happened in politics just recently with

146
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:09.519
<v Speaker 3>our president. Sometimes you just got to know when to

147
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.000
<v Speaker 3>hang up the cleats too, you know. And and whether

148
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.800
<v Speaker 3>it be sports or politics or leadership, you know, you

149
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:16.199
<v Speaker 3>got to turn it. You got to turn it over.

150
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:20.639
<v Speaker 3>And it's hard right to the end. Game is definitely tough.

151
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:24.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, if again, your mom has been this forever, right,

152
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:26.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't even say her age, but she probably loves

153
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:27.319
<v Speaker 2>doing this.

154
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:29.720
<v Speaker 4>And you're probably thinking, Mom, you.

155
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.680
<v Speaker 3>Know, well life, Yeah, yeah, I do. I would like

156
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:34.000
<v Speaker 3>for her to do that a little bit more. And

157
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.360
<v Speaker 3>she's doing it. But you know what I'm saying. You know,

158
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.240
<v Speaker 3>fortunately we own the business we owned can control that destiny.

159
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:41.680
<v Speaker 3>But when you're working for an organization like the Jets,

160
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:44.439
<v Speaker 3>or you're running the country, or you're running you're running

161
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:46.759
<v Speaker 3>a state office, or you're a Supreme Court justice, if

162
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:48.720
<v Speaker 3>you don't get out when you're getting out is right,

163
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.480
<v Speaker 3>then you may actually make everything you did worse off.

164
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:55.279
<v Speaker 4>Legacy change, legacy changes.

165
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:01.519
<v Speaker 6>Coach prime, Shadore and Travis Hunter all expected to play

166
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:02.199
<v Speaker 6>in the Bowl game.

167
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:05.920
<v Speaker 4>When they when they play in the play.

168
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:08.759
<v Speaker 2>That's not a shock. Maybe will they be there? Will

169
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:10.800
<v Speaker 2>will Prime be there next year?

170
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:14.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Spectacle when he comes around though, right?

171
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:16.160
<v Speaker 4>I mean, well, he sold out the U of A.

172
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:18.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't think he's I don't think he's bad for

173
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:19.600
<v Speaker 3>the sport. I think he's a good you know, I

174
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:22.199
<v Speaker 3>think it's good for the sport. Sure you know, did you?

175
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:24.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure you? It was sold out here. It was

176
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:25.639
<v Speaker 3>a good game. It was good, It was a good

177
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:27.639
<v Speaker 3>it was a good financial game, right for our for

178
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:28.800
<v Speaker 3>our for the what we do that?

179
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:29.360
<v Speaker 5>Right?

180
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:35.959
<v Speaker 6>Hawks find one hundred K for sitting Trey Young in

181
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:37.000
<v Speaker 6>the NBA Cup game.

182
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:39.399
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, I'm not too too I'm not a big

183
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:41.839
<v Speaker 2>NBA guy until till April May.

184
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:43.120
<v Speaker 3>June.

185
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:47.959
<v Speaker 6>Auburn's Johnny Brown tipping with one second remaining gave number

186
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:50.839
<v Speaker 6>four Auburn and eighty three eighty one come from behind

187
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:55.079
<v Speaker 6>victory over number five Iowa State Eracing and eighteen point.

188
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:58.879
<v Speaker 3>Is that today was last night? Okay, okay, we'll go

189
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:00.720
<v Speaker 3>back to NBA. What do you think about, you know,

190
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:03.360
<v Speaker 3>the Lebron and the Browny thing? Because you know, in

191
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:05.800
<v Speaker 3>a family business that I have, it is a f

192
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:07.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's their family.

193
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:08.480
<v Speaker 4>Business, right, So go ahead, I want to hear this.

194
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Well.

195
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:10.519
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think it's kind of unfortunate that he

196
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.560
<v Speaker 3>didn't perform well, but I also can't knock Lebron for

197
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:15.560
<v Speaker 3>doing what they did. I mean here, I mean, he

198
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:19.040
<v Speaker 3>surely makes that thing financially work, and I don't think

199
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:21.759
<v Speaker 3>it was a bad financial bet on Brownie. I'm sure

200
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:23.399
<v Speaker 3>to have said some people that he took that he

201
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:25.759
<v Speaker 3>might have took a seat at the table, but hey,

202
00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:27.360
<v Speaker 3>you know that that could have been a fault of

203
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:29.720
<v Speaker 3>an injury, right, or it may have worked out. So

204
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:32.960
<v Speaker 3>it's interesting to me how much anger that's created on

205
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.159
<v Speaker 3>the WebSphere if you will.

206
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:38.559
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, well, because you know go there because you

207
00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:40.159
<v Speaker 2>said you won't have a family business.

208
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:42.279
<v Speaker 4>Did you feel some of that too, well?

209
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:46.480
<v Speaker 3>Sure, I mean, you know, nepotism and favoritism come hand

210
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:48.919
<v Speaker 3>in hands, and my fifteen year old is busting tables

211
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:50.480
<v Speaker 3>right now, and you know they may not like that

212
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:53.159
<v Speaker 3>he's there making money when they may be taking a

213
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:55.320
<v Speaker 3>shift away from them or something. So you know, we

214
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:57.120
<v Speaker 3>tell them like, hey, you got to be conscious that

215
00:08:57.600 --> 00:08:59.919
<v Speaker 3>these are folks livelihood. We're not there to take them away.

216
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:01.679
<v Speaker 3>I want you to learn the business. I want you

217
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:03.360
<v Speaker 3>to learn from the ground up. So this is part

218
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:05.840
<v Speaker 3>of it. But you're not going to get and nor

219
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:07.879
<v Speaker 3>do I want it to oversee you know, his school

220
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:10.519
<v Speaker 3>or his his sports work. But I wanted I want

221
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:14.240
<v Speaker 3>him to learn, right, But it's not the NBA right, Right,

222
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:15.799
<v Speaker 3>and dram positions are different.

223
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:18.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you have to apologize for that, right,

224
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.000
<v Speaker 2>it's you, it's your toy, right, let him play. Yeah,

225
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Lebron though I'm in different to it. I'm in different

226
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:26.639
<v Speaker 2>to it. But you know, the can the guy played

227
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:29.679
<v Speaker 2>probably at this level, it's not I'm not paying him

228
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:31.200
<v Speaker 2>to play, so it doesn't mean.

229
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:31.600
<v Speaker 4>Anything to me.

230
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:33.919
<v Speaker 3>They say that they're playing they're playing him harder than

231
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:36.039
<v Speaker 3>they would They're saying that in the G League he's

232
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:38.600
<v Speaker 3>getting the harder elbow in the chest. But at the

233
00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:40.799
<v Speaker 3>same time, if he makes it through that, sure, you know,

234
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.039
<v Speaker 3>we can say it's unfair, but we could also say

235
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:43.879
<v Speaker 3>that will prove him.

236
00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, to be the word to go for, Yeah, to

237
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:47.559
<v Speaker 2>see if he is will happen?

238
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:47.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

239
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:48.200
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

240
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:52.840
<v Speaker 6>North Carolina football team has fired their coach Mac Brown.

241
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:53.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

242
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Do you know he told me worked with him for

243
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:58.240
<v Speaker 2>a while back in Texas. A heck of a good coach.

244
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:00.279
<v Speaker 2>He's seventy three.

245
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:00.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

246
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:02.519
<v Speaker 2>Let me ask you something, right, because I always ask

247
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:04.960
<v Speaker 2>everybody who comes out of these the kids, how old

248
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:05.919
<v Speaker 2>is old to you?

249
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.639
<v Speaker 3>I think old is a state of spirituality than at

250
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:11.159
<v Speaker 3>his age, you know, I think.

251
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:12.960
<v Speaker 4>So when you were a kid, what was old?

252
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:16.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh well, you know, I think seventies were old when

253
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:18.039
<v Speaker 3>I was a kid. I think now that's not old.

254
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:22.200
<v Speaker 4>At all as we creep up that, Yeah, yeah.

255
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:23.679
<v Speaker 3>I think, But I think it's I think it's an

256
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:25.639
<v Speaker 3>energy level measure than anything else.

257
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:26.159
<v Speaker 5>You know.

258
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.519
<v Speaker 3>Look, some people have you know, i'd cancer once. I

259
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:30.519
<v Speaker 3>mean it's it's you know, things take a toll on

260
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.320
<v Speaker 3>you eventually. Sure that may not be anything to do

261
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:36.000
<v Speaker 3>with what you've gone through life or your or anything else.

262
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:39.639
<v Speaker 3>It just could be a genetic issue. But I do

263
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:41.720
<v Speaker 3>think that there is a time that you have to

264
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:44.759
<v Speaker 3>recognize that you may be old for what you're doing. Yeah, right,

265
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:47.120
<v Speaker 3>and maybe that needs to change, you know. I think

266
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:51.240
<v Speaker 3>that there's there's definitely some energies needed differently for different

267
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:52.919
<v Speaker 3>parts of life. I'd like to see some of these

268
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:55.600
<v Speaker 3>older folks go into more mentorship roles, right and teach,

269
00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:57.080
<v Speaker 3>because I think we can learn a lot from them.

270
00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:59.279
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if that's something that's available out there often,

271
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:01.720
<v Speaker 3>but it'd be nice to hear from some of the

272
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:04.720
<v Speaker 3>older the older people that are out there as to

273
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:07.600
<v Speaker 3>what you know, did get this country to this point

274
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:08.480
<v Speaker 3>and what.

275
00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:10.519
<v Speaker 2>We learned from Yeah, yeah, I was gonna ask you

276
00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:11.799
<v Speaker 2>another coach BA ask you out there.

277
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:15.559
<v Speaker 6>And this was a day after Brown said he intended

278
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:16.519
<v Speaker 6>to return next.

279
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:21.039
<v Speaker 4>Right right in the eighties. This is none not coming back. Yeah, okay,

280
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:22.240
<v Speaker 4>anything else, that's probably it.

281
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.000
<v Speaker 6>Right, that's it for breaking news.

282
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:25.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, no, cool, we'll just come come back to We

283
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:28.720
<v Speaker 2>got about four minutes before we touch to ben here

284
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:30.799
<v Speaker 2>on the other side, he'll be calling us, I assume, yeah, right,

285
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:32.960
<v Speaker 2>So I was gonna ask you, so you said you're.

286
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:34.360
<v Speaker 4>How old you feel?

287
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:40.080
<v Speaker 3>It comes and goes, right, I think when you know,

288
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:42.519
<v Speaker 3>I I when I'm with my children, I feel older.

289
00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:45.360
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes when they speak languages I don't understand anymore, or

290
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:47.679
<v Speaker 3>I have to look a word up and definitely feel older.

291
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.279
<v Speaker 3>You know, It's funny. I actually felt really old the

292
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:53.600
<v Speaker 3>other day, Uh, I went to a concert. My wife

293
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:54.799
<v Speaker 3>gave me tickets for my birthday.

294
00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:55.279
<v Speaker 4>Was it?

295
00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:57.120
<v Speaker 3>We went to go see Sting in concert.

296
00:11:57.240 --> 00:11:57.600
<v Speaker 5>I grew up.

297
00:11:57.799 --> 00:11:59.879
<v Speaker 3>I grew up with Police band D I loved aadies.

298
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:00.399

<v Speaker 4>Okay?

303
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:05.840
<v Speaker 3>And we had seen him when he played in Phoenix.

304
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:07.360
<v Speaker 3>It was a great show. It was a different venue.

305
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:09.600
<v Speaker 3>Phoenix was a little bigger venue and it was more

306
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:13.639
<v Speaker 3>crowd The venue in San Francisco was smaller, more, more compact,

307
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:15.840
<v Speaker 3>more maybe maybe both in him minute, if you want

308
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.360
<v Speaker 3>to call it that, But the crowd was so much older,

309
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:20.440
<v Speaker 3>and I realized I saw people that looked that they

310
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.480
<v Speaker 3>could have been my grandmother out there. And then I realized, like, well,

311
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:26.279
<v Speaker 3>in you know, eighty six, eighty seven, eighty eight, when

312
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:28.600
<v Speaker 3>they were out, I'm you know, I'm in my youth.

313
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.600
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I'm eleven, twelve, thirteen years old. But there

314
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.360
<v Speaker 3>were people that liked him at that point when they

315
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:35.519
<v Speaker 3>were in their thirties and forties, and now they're at

316
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:38.200
<v Speaker 3>a show, right, So I'm sitting there at fifty five

317
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:40.879
<v Speaker 3>amongst people that are seventy five eighty and they're they're

318
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:42.679
<v Speaker 3>rocking out and they're doing their thing and they're doing

319
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:44.759
<v Speaker 3>this thing thing. But I mean I felt really old

320
00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:47.039
<v Speaker 3>because I was in alignment with them, so it was different.

321
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm sure you've been to countrits down here, and

322
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:51.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll simplify it for me. Does ez tops that come

323
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:54.440
<v Speaker 2>to to Ava or the Kansases and stuff like that?

324
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.000
<v Speaker 2>And I'm thinking that the people were in their area

325
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:00.960
<v Speaker 2>in a in a being a break and their men

326
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:02.440
<v Speaker 2>obviously with their jackets.

327
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:04.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm thinking I don't know that old, do I?

328
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:06.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know it's old when like today, I went

329
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:09.360
<v Speaker 3>into one of my doctor's offices and ac DC Dirty

330
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:12.120
<v Speaker 3>D's was one of the background music. So you know,

331
00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:15.919
<v Speaker 3>when ac DC becomes background, you've got.

332
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:18.759
<v Speaker 4>Right and they're trying to make everybody happy.

333
00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:20.919
<v Speaker 2>No, no, I asked that question just to get out

334
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.919
<v Speaker 2>of you know, curiosity or whatever. Yeah, so okay, I

335
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:27.879
<v Speaker 2>will talk more about the aresultable obviously, the stuff that

336
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.399
<v Speaker 2>how it impacts you're part of that too. Right inside

337
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:33.240
<v Speaker 2>the stadium, nothing changes with the menu or nothing.

338
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:34.679
<v Speaker 3>Well, well look at that guy. There's a guy that's

<v Speaker 3>he's redefined himself at an.

342
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:42.840
<v Speaker 2>Older age, and to a degree of he's almost a

343
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:46.919
<v Speaker 2>folk hero today, you know, with so many things.

344
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.000
<v Speaker 3>Are now more people than he was when he was younger.

345
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:53.679
<v Speaker 2>Right, and a very syvy businessman. Very what what makes that?

346
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:54.759
<v Speaker 2>What makes that?

347
00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:56.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I mean I think he got lucky.

348
00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:59.360
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, no, no, not just that, because you're here

353
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:10.360
<v Speaker 3>but I think he's a sportsman of site, of typewriter.

354
00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:12.399
<v Speaker 3>I think he's competitive in his business and his environments

355
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:13.279
<v Speaker 3>that he surrounds himself with.

356

521
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:44.440
<v Speaker 14>the Bowl this year. We get there's a lot more interest,

522
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:48.920
<v Speaker 14>a lot more incoming interests for us versus US trying

523
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:51.960
<v Speaker 14>to go out and pitch people to to support the bull.

524
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:52.599
<v Speaker 5>It's been great.

525
00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:57.039
<v Speaker 3>It's a one of a kind situations, do you because

526
00:21:57.680 --> 00:21:59.839
<v Speaker 3>having been in the hospitality haven't been in the food

527
00:21:59.880 --> 00:22:02.160
<v Speaker 3>and average business having you know, heck, I wrote a

528
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:05.160
<v Speaker 3>book on tequila, having understood the beverage and spirits business.

529
00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:08.799
<v Speaker 3>To get a beverage brand, you know, an adult beverage

530
00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:10.880
<v Speaker 3>brand like this on top of the bowl in a

531
00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:13.880
<v Speaker 3>community like in Arizona's like a well known state for

532
00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:17.200
<v Speaker 3>consumption of things because we're hot and you know, beverages

533
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:19.920
<v Speaker 3>are always It's one of those markets where big brands

534
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:21.799
<v Speaker 3>go if you do well in Arizona. That's what we

535
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:24.680
<v Speaker 3>need to do. So to have that here, to have

536
00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:29.799
<v Speaker 3>this this amazing icon of an entertainer and cultural figure

537
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:34.200
<v Speaker 3>here at a time when really like our town needs it,

538
00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:37.079
<v Speaker 3>to be honest with you, you know, right after you know, Christmas,

539
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:40.480
<v Speaker 3>in fact, even right before Christmas. The hospitality trade. You

540
00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:43.400
<v Speaker 3>know which Tucson, you know, city of astronomy, one of

541
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:45.440
<v Speaker 3>the best, you know, maybe the best Mexican food, you know,

542
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:47.000
<v Speaker 3>Mexican food capital of the world. All they like to

543
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:50.720
<v Speaker 3>say of America I call it the world. But you know,

544
00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:53.559
<v Speaker 3>we go down, like sales drop big because people are

545
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:56.039
<v Speaker 3>tied up with money from after the holidays or kind

546
00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:57.720
<v Speaker 3>of everyone's full. They want to go back on their

547
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:00.319
<v Speaker 3>diets pretty soon, and it's just a stressful, you know,

548
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:04.960
<v Speaker 3>not our sales go down. So to see this influx

549
00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:07.720
<v Speaker 3>of visitors, especially when they come from towns that are

550
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:10.079
<v Speaker 3>easy to get to, you know, New Mexico shows up,

551
00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:12.559
<v Speaker 3>or if you and LV came or with schools might

552
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:15.079
<v Speaker 3>be even closer to get to, it's phenomenal. But I

553
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:17.599
<v Speaker 3>think this year they might come from anywhere. I mean,

554
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:19.160
<v Speaker 3>I think I think people are gonna come from far

555
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:21.759
<v Speaker 3>and around to be part of this because of the

556
00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Snoop Dogg connection.

557
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:29.319
<v Speaker 14>Then true, yeah, absolutely that ticket sales have been highest

558
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:33.200
<v Speaker 14>that you know, before announcing the teams, uh, the tickets

559
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:36.519
<v Speaker 14>were you know, we're way ahead we've ever been. And

560
00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:38.759
<v Speaker 14>that's there's people that you know, it's the stop Snoop effect.

561
00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:42.039
<v Speaker 14>People want to be a part of this because of

562
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:46.119
<v Speaker 14>Snoop dog They want to check out and you know

563
00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:48.759
<v Speaker 14>some people that this maybe Snoop Dogg is the one

564
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:50.920
<v Speaker 14>that kind of shine the light on on what we

565
00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:55.039
<v Speaker 14>do and they're they're excited about all the different activities

566
00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:57.960
<v Speaker 14>and and and the mission of the Bowl and now

567
00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:00.119
<v Speaker 14>that Snoop Dogs that tied to it, they want to

568
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:00.720
<v Speaker 14>be a part of it.

569
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:02.319
<v Speaker 5>So it's it's been really cool.

570
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:05.519
<v Speaker 2>And he sells merchandise. I mean there's a nice little

571
00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:06.160

581
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:35.119
<v Speaker 14>part of our success too. Is if our TV broad

00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:37.319
<v Speaker 14>But we have a community village that is part of

603
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:41.039
<v Speaker 14>a tailgate festival that we have. Nonprofits have an opportunity

604
00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:44.000
<v Speaker 14>to come out and showcase what they do, kind of

605
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:46.599
<v Speaker 14>spread awareness to what they do, and celebrate that kind

606
00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:49.359
<v Speaker 14>of have a celebration of the community.

607
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:50.480
<v Speaker 4>A big part of that.

608
00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:55.000
<v Speaker 14>Is a parade that happens inside the stadium. The parade

609
00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:57.960
<v Speaker 14>starts at the tailgate, goes to the stadium, and in

610
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:01.319
<v Speaker 14>the quarter break between the first and second quarter, all

611
00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:05.400
<v Speaker 14>those nonprofits marched down the fields. Uh, you know, from

612
00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:08.000
<v Speaker 14>end zone to end zone with a banner that of

613
00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:12.440
<v Speaker 14>their organization that they're proudly representing. So it's really just

614
00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:15.240
<v Speaker 14>a great opportunity. And one thing that's really great with

615
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:17.920
<v Speaker 14>these with the Community Village is it's a great opportunity

616
00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:21.640
<v Speaker 14>for those nonprofits to network within themselves that to have

617
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:25.759
<v Speaker 14>connections and and kind of discuss best practices and you know,

618
00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:29.160
<v Speaker 14>best ways of fundraise and drive awareness. So it's it's

619
00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:33.000
<v Speaker 14>a great networking opportunity for all of the community partners

620
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:34.880
<v Speaker 14>that make up the Community Village.

621
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:36.240
<v Speaker 4>At the tailgate, let me ask you.

622
00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:39.400
<v Speaker 2>A dumb question, So has him Has he made your

<v Speaker 2>job easier or more difficult because of the situation.

624
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:47.880
<v Speaker 5>Both, if that makes sense both.

625
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:52.279
<v Speaker 14>No, it's it's definitely it's more fun, that's for sure.

626
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:55.480

637
00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:29.920

660
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:24.599
<v Speaker 3>How much it and then if you will, because I

661
00:28:24.599 --> 00:28:26.480
<v Speaker 3>think when of the coolest parts is the youth football

662
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:29.759
<v Speaker 3>team part of it. I know my wife is, uh,

663
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:32.799
<v Speaker 3>she's in youth cheer, and I know there's a big

664
00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:35.079
<v Speaker 3>cheer part of this for youth cheer that is I

665
00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:37.920
<v Speaker 3>mean she I think they're over full already, like how

666
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:41.200
<v Speaker 3>many Yeah, yeah, I mean the youth cheerleading thing is

667
00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:44.839
<v Speaker 3>going to be huge with this with local Tucson kids

668
00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:47.000
<v Speaker 3>that are cheer in the cheer system and the cheer teams,

669
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:49.200
<v Speaker 3>and then you've got the youth football teams he's bringing.

670
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:51.559
<v Speaker 3>I mean, this is just it really is going to

671
00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:53.200
<v Speaker 3>reach into all kinds of generations.

672
00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:58.680
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, the cheer clinic, we introduced that last year and

673
00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:01.079
<v Speaker 14>that was a big success and and I think the

674
00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:03.960
<v Speaker 14>popularity a bit last year plus you know, the snoop

675
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:07.200
<v Speaker 14>effect is really ramped that up. I get an email

676
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:10.960
<v Speaker 14>notification every time a registration comes to our website, and

677
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:13.240
<v Speaker 14>my email is just ringing all the time.

678
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:15.039
<v Speaker 5>So that's gonna be exciting.

679
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:18.319
<v Speaker 14>They're going to perform at halftime and then yes, there's

680
00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:23.119
<v Speaker 14>a youth football component to this. Snoopez his youth football

00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:49.759
<v Speaker 14>field at U have a stadium.

689
00:29:50.279 --> 00:29:52.920
<v Speaker 2>One of the things that I think that you're getting

690
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:55.599
<v Speaker 2>so so so much excitement from from the players is

691
00:29:55.640 --> 00:29:57.799
<v Speaker 2>that they're going to be paid for this thing too.

692
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:01.200
<v Speaker 4>Right, the NIL is going to be in a way.

693
00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:05.880
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, that was something that Stupid was excited about and

694
00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:09.400
<v Speaker 14>I wanted to reached out to his team reached out

695
00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:12.119
<v Speaker 14>to Kim a few weeks, just a few weeks after

696
00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:13.920
<v Speaker 14>we made the announcements that he wants to do an

697
00:30:14.039 --> 00:30:16.680
<v Speaker 14>ni L deal for all the players, So every player

698
00:30:16.759 --> 00:30:20.440
<v Speaker 14>will will get a deal, they'll do a little there'll

699
00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:24.640
<v Speaker 14>be some community outreach that they'll do while they're here

700
00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:27.519
<v Speaker 14>in town as part of that NL deal that will

701
00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:31.119
<v Speaker 14>connect with with youth football. Uh so, yeah, it's pretty

702
00:30:31.400 --> 00:30:34.880
<v Speaker 14>pretty unique for for a bowl game that I have.

703
00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:37.240
<v Speaker 14>I think they might be the first one that's announced

704
00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:40.599
<v Speaker 14>the full a full team bowl game, assuming the players to.

705
00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:41.200
<v Speaker 5>Opt into it.

706
00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:44.559
<v Speaker 3>Do you think about this, Steve Tucson, Arizona is going

707
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:48.200
<v Speaker 3>to have a bowl game that maybe setting the way

708
00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:50.119
<v Speaker 3>that future bowl games that they operate like this is

709
00:30:50.160 --> 00:30:53.599
<v Speaker 3>cutting cloth. Other bowl games may actually have to emulate.

710
00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:56.599
<v Speaker 2>To Kim's Kim, that was Kim's hope, I think saying

711
00:30:56.599 --> 00:30:59.359
<v Speaker 2>with you, Ben, I'm sure I want to say this,

712

<v Speaker 4>No, it was all you know, Kim.

716

717
00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:14.319
<v Speaker 14>but I think she she sealed the deal with with

718
00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:17.279
<v Speaker 14>a zoom call with with you know, snooping his team

<v Speaker 14>conversation about opening the upper deck on the east side.

732

751
00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:53.079
<v Speaker 3>I mean I think there's there's a whole week of activities,

752
00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:56.720
<v Speaker 3>right besides the youth football sports, filling hotels, eating out often,

753
00:32:56.799 --> 00:33:00.200
<v Speaker 3>the campaign that Kim and Bannon the team there put

754
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:02.240
<v Speaker 3>together for places to be Bowl ready, a lot of

755
00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:04.519
<v Speaker 3>local restaurants and to be part of that. And then

756
00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:06.279
<v Speaker 3>they've got their New Year's stuff that they do, the

757
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:08.799
<v Speaker 3>pep Rally downtown. So there's a lot of activity, a

758
00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:10.839
<v Speaker 3>lot of good kid friendly stuff. Even though this is

759
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:12.920
<v Speaker 3>you know, a Snoop Dogg thing with a gin and juice,

760
00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:14.839
<v Speaker 3>don't ignore the fact that there is a ton of

761
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:19.079
<v Speaker 3>family friendly things going to happen day and day in,

762
00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:21.039
<v Speaker 3>day and day out. Yeah, for that whole week.

763
00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:24.680
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, and everything, everything is besides attending the game itself.

764
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:27.519
<v Speaker 14>Everything is free. The pep Rally is free, the Bull

765
00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:31.079
<v Speaker 14>Bash downtown is free. So there's a lot of great

766
00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:36.000
<v Speaker 14>opportunity to enjoy free entertainment and activity around the Bowl.

767
00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:37.240
<v Speaker 5>You don't have to, you know.

768
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:39.759
<v Speaker 14>Obviously we want you to purchase a ticket, but there's

769
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:43.279
<v Speaker 14>you know, many ways people can connect and enjoy what

770
00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:44.440
<v Speaker 14>happens during Bowl week.

771
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:48.759
<v Speaker 3>The New Year's party Steve was last year was one

772
00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:50.920
<v Speaker 3>of the coolest things I've been involved with in Tucson

773
00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:54.079
<v Speaker 3>because it was just this great amount of people. I

774
00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:58.000
<v Speaker 3>mean literally the street was full of people downtown. But

775
00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:00.680
<v Speaker 3>it was just a great family outmosphere but a lot

776
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:03.079
<v Speaker 3>of fun. It felt like a mini Times Square down

777
00:34:03.119 --> 00:34:03.799
<v Speaker 3>in downtown.

778
00:34:03.799 --> 00:34:04.960
<v Speaker 4>To so good weather too, I think.

779
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:07.559
<v Speaker 3>Good weather, Yeah, good weather. And he did the Taco

780
00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:11.079
<v Speaker 3>drop a friend of our Taco Bell Todd. He does

781
00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:13.480
<v Speaker 3>his Taco bellt drop, which I'm fine with. I'm let

782
00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:15.039
<v Speaker 3>to have it. He can write a bigger check for

783
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:17.599
<v Speaker 3>that one. So good for you. Talk, good for you

784
00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:21.159
<v Speaker 3>talk keep doing that. But yeah, the Downtown party, it's

785
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:23.519
<v Speaker 3>a worthy party for even those who are like hardcore

786
00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:24.679
<v Speaker 3>party or it's a good party.

787
00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:24.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

788
00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Then another thing one of the things that it hits

789
00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:30.079
<v Speaker 2>me for Tucson, I'm sure it's not universal to Tucson,

790
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:32.639
<v Speaker 2>is the late arriving crowd to you know, late tickets

791
00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:35.079
<v Speaker 2>purchase and so what do you want to do tonight, Mildred, Well,

792
00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:37.119
<v Speaker 2>there's a game going on, let's go buy some tickets.

793
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:39.679
<v Speaker 2>You wish that wouldn't happen, but that's something you have

794
00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:40.119
<v Speaker 2>to deal.

795
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:44.639
<v Speaker 14>With, right Oh yeah, yeah, everyone in Tucson. I used

796
00:34:44.679 --> 00:34:46.920
<v Speaker 14>to work at the Universus of Arizona that was that

797
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:49.960
<v Speaker 14>was an issue too. But you know, like I said,

798
00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:55.559
<v Speaker 14>this is uh, this is a year that we're selling

799
00:34:55.599 --> 00:34:58.599
<v Speaker 14>a ton of tickets in advance. So my advice to

800
00:34:58.639 --> 00:35:02.079
<v Speaker 14>people is not wait because the seat location that you

801
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:04.199
<v Speaker 14>might think that you'll be able to get last minute

802
00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:07.480
<v Speaker 14>won't be there. So let's let's try to get those

803
00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:10.840
<v Speaker 14>those tickets sold quickly and go ahead of me.

804
00:35:11.039 --> 00:35:13.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Well, and also, no, go ahead, I've got something

805
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:14.719
<v Speaker 3>I want to tell you about because I think it's

806
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:15.400
<v Speaker 3>important on the ball.

807
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:17.840
<v Speaker 2>And lastly, well, one of the things I thought is

808
00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:20.639
<v Speaker 2>when do you announce the teams? Because those those you

809
00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:22.519
<v Speaker 2>know you can't get in your Mexico state this year,

810
00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:25.360
<v Speaker 2>or you're talking about the Vegas showed up the local

811
00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:27.280
<v Speaker 2>driveable teams.

812
00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:28.639
<v Speaker 4>So when is that announced?

813
00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:33.280
<v Speaker 14>That's announced on December December eighth, Sunday, December eighth, the

814
00:35:33.360 --> 00:35:36.440
<v Speaker 14>selection Sunday, we you know, the day starts off with

815
00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:40.360
<v Speaker 14>the college football playoff announcing their twelve teams and then

816
00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:44.079
<v Speaker 14>everything kind of trickles down to there, so we will

817
00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:46.519
<v Speaker 14>be kind of waiting and seeing what happens here and

818
00:35:46.559 --> 00:35:48.639
<v Speaker 14>down the stretch. With Boise State, you know, they're in

819
00:35:48.639 --> 00:35:51.760
<v Speaker 14>the mix to be in that playoff and that has

820
00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:54.599
<v Speaker 14>an impact on us in the Mountain West side. So

821
00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:58.559
<v Speaker 14>it's going to be kind of interesting to see how

822
00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:03.039
<v Speaker 14>this how this plays out right your turn, Well, I want.

823
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:04.920
<v Speaker 3>To say that I think Ben and they have like

824
00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:06.880
<v Speaker 3>number one. Job Number one is the Bowl game. Job

825
00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:08.599
<v Speaker 3>Number one is for these for these folks to put

826
00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:11.320
<v Speaker 3>on as great a Bowl event the Bowl week, get

827
00:36:11.320 --> 00:36:13.360
<v Speaker 3>twoson Bowl ready, to get everybody in that stand. Let's

828
00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:15.400
<v Speaker 3>let's do fill to fill up that upper Bowl and

829
00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:18.440
<v Speaker 3>set a record. But also, you know the Arizona ble team,

830
00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:21.400
<v Speaker 3>the team that's Kim Adair and these folks, you know,

831
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:24.920
<v Speaker 3>they're also helping with other sports activations in Tucson, So

832
00:36:25.239 --> 00:36:27.599
<v Speaker 3>they need a you know, golf clap round of applause

833
00:36:27.639 --> 00:36:29.360
<v Speaker 3>in this room, and they need to also be supported

834
00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:32.559
<v Speaker 3>year round because they are and there's an opportunity here

835
00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:35.519
<v Speaker 3>for us to change the landscape of sports and Tucson

836
00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:37.800
<v Speaker 3>and the Arizona Bowl is one part of that in

837
00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:40.000
<v Speaker 3>correlation with the University of course, and continue to double

838
00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:41.960
<v Speaker 3>down on the bear down like we talked about and

839
00:36:42.400 --> 00:36:45.239
<v Speaker 3>things like World Baseball because sports need energy and when

840
00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:47.840
<v Speaker 3>there's positive energy, sports starts coming to town and we

841
00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:48.119
<v Speaker 3>need that.

842
00:36:48.239 --> 00:36:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Let me give you one more before you say respond.

843
00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Then you were part of the l Tour this weekend.

844
00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:56.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm part of the El Tour obviously, how did that go?

845
00:36:56.760 --> 00:36:58.599
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sure you saw the craziness because it was

846
00:36:58.639 --> 00:36:59.639
<v Speaker 2>the first year with you guys.

847
00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:03.519
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, no, that was our first year and we loved it.

00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:16.880

00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:23.320
<v Speaker 14>to generate awareness and educate people on on on the

854
00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:26.119

999
00:43:43.320 --> 00:43:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh from you and m from the New Mexico because

1000
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:48.920
<v Speaker 2>you know I'm from there. Yeah, I'm a nigy. So yeah, okay,

1001
00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:51.559
<v Speaker 2>good luck with that New Mexico tea. They're better And hey,

1002
00:43:51.599 --> 00:43:53.679
<v Speaker 2>you guys played them, Yeah, the first first game of

1003
00:43:53.679 --> 00:43:56.360
<v Speaker 2>the year. Yeah, so we'll see what happens. You're a

1004
00:43:56.400 --> 00:43:59.719
<v Speaker 2>big You're a big. Uh. Do you get grief for

1005
00:43:59.760 --> 00:44:03.320
<v Speaker 2>being a big tusonan pusher like you? I don't know

1006
00:44:03.360 --> 00:44:05.960
<v Speaker 2>if you would, but you know maybe, Yeah.

1007
00:44:06.119 --> 00:44:07.599
<v Speaker 3>I think there's a lot of people that you have

1008
00:44:07.639 --> 00:44:11.199
<v Speaker 3>a lot of transplants in Tucson, transplants to I don't.

1009
00:44:11.880 --> 00:44:14.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't think. I think people get confused as to

1010
00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:20.039
<v Speaker 3>the passion that comes from something like supporting the universe. Yeah.

1011
00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:22.199
<v Speaker 3>I want wins and I want calms, you know, checks

1012
00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:23.800
<v Speaker 3>in the wind calumn, But what I really want is

1013
00:44:23.880 --> 00:44:27.320
<v Speaker 3>just for us to support the effort, because I know

1014
00:44:27.400 --> 00:44:31.639
<v Speaker 3>what it means economically, socially and every to this, to

1015
00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:34.199
<v Speaker 3>this community. I see the numbers, I know the math

1016
00:44:34.280 --> 00:44:37.119
<v Speaker 3>behind it, So yeah, I won't and winning does matter

1017
00:44:37.280 --> 00:44:40.119
<v Speaker 3>to keep those numbers growing. But if we start from

1018
00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:42.639
<v Speaker 3>a negative, it even wins are hard, right because it

1019
00:44:42.679 --> 00:44:44.199
<v Speaker 3>could take us whole season and then all of a

1020
00:44:44.239 --> 00:44:46.800
<v Speaker 3>sudden we're behind the eight ball. And you made you

1021
00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:48.880
<v Speaker 3>made a reference. And I think Ben talked about selling

1022
00:44:48.920 --> 00:44:51.119
<v Speaker 3>tickets in this town. I was in the concert event

1023
00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:53.119
<v Speaker 3>business for a while in this town, and I always

1024
00:44:53.159 --> 00:44:55.800
<v Speaker 3>as I did boxing and whatnot. You know, it's it's

1025
00:44:55.840 --> 00:44:58.639
<v Speaker 3>not an easy town to sell tickets. I had Van

1026
00:44:58.760 --> 00:45:02.480
<v Speaker 3>Halen here, it's this story about Tucson. What year this

1027
00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:05.760
<v Speaker 3>would have been in five? Four oh five? Okay, so

1028
00:45:05.840 --> 00:45:07.480
<v Speaker 3>the last year they toured with Sammy Hagger was the

1029
00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:09.800
<v Speaker 3>last year they actually played together. And it was a

1030
00:45:09.840 --> 00:45:12.840
<v Speaker 3>cool show because Wolfgang came when you just started playing

1031
00:45:13.239 --> 00:45:15.760
<v Speaker 3>with his father, Eddie. Eddie was you know, obviously still played.

1032
00:45:16.760 --> 00:45:19.480
<v Speaker 3>We had the last two shows that they were ever

1033
00:45:19.599 --> 00:45:22.119
<v Speaker 3>going to play together. Well, they had sold out Phoenix

1034
00:45:22.239 --> 00:45:26.119
<v Speaker 3>thirteen thousand person venue in like fifty seven minutes. We

1035
00:45:26.199 --> 00:45:30.360
<v Speaker 3>couldn't sell out a thirty five hundred person venue like Abba.

1036
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:32.119
<v Speaker 3>Granted was two days in a row, so call it

1037
00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:35.239
<v Speaker 3>seven thousand seats, so half we couldn't sell out half.

1038
00:45:35.599 --> 00:45:37.440
<v Speaker 3>At the end of the day. For the second showing,

1039
00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:40.480
<v Speaker 3>we were doing two for one seats. Wow, and you

1040
00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:42.960
<v Speaker 3>know you just go come on two song, like, whether

1041
00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:44.440
<v Speaker 3>you like it or not, this is the last time

1042
00:45:44.519 --> 00:45:45.239
<v Speaker 3>these guys played here.

1043
00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:45.440
<v Speaker 5>It was.

1044
00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:47.440
<v Speaker 3>It was an iconic rock and roll group. We would

1045
00:45:47.440 --> 00:45:49.079
<v Speaker 3>never have gotten in a normal arena.

1046
00:45:49.519 --> 00:45:53.679
<v Speaker 2>So just tough to tell tickets sometimes, Oh, what's the issue,

1047
00:45:53.760 --> 00:45:54.639
<v Speaker 2>what's the problem.

1048
00:45:55.199 --> 00:45:59.159
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. Number One, the media, we all have

1049
00:45:59.320 --> 00:46:00.920
<v Speaker 3>to always say it. I will always say the media

1050
00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:03.440
<v Speaker 3>like champion, local, champion events, champion things to do like

1051
00:46:03.760 --> 00:46:06.159
<v Speaker 3>get out, get out and spend, you know, spending contages,

1052
00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:09.280
<v Speaker 3>take the wallet out, go out and spend. But I

1053
00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:11.159
<v Speaker 3>also think it's like there's a thing in two so

1054
00:46:11.199 --> 00:46:13.639
<v Speaker 3>onwhere hey, are you going to go to that, you know,

1055
00:46:13.880 --> 00:46:15.960
<v Speaker 3>and then you wait to hear the response back, yeah,

1056
00:46:15.960 --> 00:46:17.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm going, Okay, I'm gonna go too, And it's like

1057
00:46:17.920 --> 00:46:19.679
<v Speaker 3>that's how you almost have to market in twoson. It's

1058
00:46:19.679 --> 00:46:22.760
<v Speaker 3>almost like pure pressure is more important than media pressure.

1059
00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:25.800
<v Speaker 3>So maybe we just don't have those densities. Maybe it

1060
00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:28.280
<v Speaker 3>is very much like a family in a community. Like

1061
00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:31.159
<v Speaker 3>you know, well, I know, okay, I like that TV

1062
00:46:31.239 --> 00:46:33.320
<v Speaker 3>show too. I'll watch it too with you. It's funny

1063
00:46:33.440 --> 00:46:35.239
<v Speaker 3>like that. And that's how selling tickets and two soon is.

1064
00:46:35.400 --> 00:46:36.719
<v Speaker 2>Is there a reason why you got out of that

1065
00:46:36.800 --> 00:46:39.719
<v Speaker 2>business or maybe a side gig or whatever, you.

1066
00:46:39.760 --> 00:46:42.800
<v Speaker 3>Know that we were really we were really successful. I

1067
00:46:42.840 --> 00:46:44.159
<v Speaker 3>had a partner and I kind of had a fall

1068
00:46:44.239 --> 00:46:47.199
<v Speaker 3>out with the group we were working with, and you know,

1069
00:46:47.360 --> 00:46:49.199
<v Speaker 3>just change of life, kind of a different you know,

1070
00:46:49.719 --> 00:46:52.519
<v Speaker 3>wasn't great for the marriage, the first marriage, and it

1071
00:46:52.599 --> 00:46:54.440
<v Speaker 3>was pretty hectic, and I think at the at the

1072
00:46:54.519 --> 00:46:56.079
<v Speaker 3>end of the day too, you know, times of change,

1073
00:46:56.119 --> 00:46:58.400
<v Speaker 3>like being in that business was tough. We were we

1074
00:46:58.480 --> 00:47:00.679
<v Speaker 3>were kind of at a golden age opportunity, you know.

1075
00:47:00.719 --> 00:47:02.360
<v Speaker 3>We had irban A's off come to Tucson, one of

1076
00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:06.199
<v Speaker 3>the most prolific concert and musician, music minded professionals in

1077
00:47:06.280 --> 00:47:08.000
<v Speaker 3>the industry, and he came to Tucson. He's the one

1078
00:47:08.039 --> 00:47:10.159
<v Speaker 3>who brought Van Haalen. He's a reason we had them.

1079
00:47:10.159 --> 00:47:12.320
<v Speaker 3>We had Dave Chappelle one year who did a show

1080
00:47:12.360 --> 00:47:14.000
<v Speaker 3>with us. The year that he left County Central. He

1081
00:47:14.039 --> 00:47:16.159
<v Speaker 3>only did eight concerts that year, and he'd he did

1082
00:47:16.239 --> 00:47:18.360
<v Speaker 3>one of them with us, so we were proud. But

1083
00:47:18.480 --> 00:47:19.840
<v Speaker 3>it did the game changed.

<v Speaker 4>Okay, all right, Nico, thanks for calling, continue to listen.

1113
00:48:32.800 --> 00:48:33.719
<v Speaker 4>Appreciate you, hey man.

1114
00:48:33.760 --> 00:48:36.039
<v Speaker 17>And this guy that you're guessed. I know he doesn't

1115
00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:38.880
<v Speaker 17>have a say in the beer prices, but they need

1116
00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:40.000
<v Speaker 17>to lower those a little bit.

1117
00:48:41.760 --> 00:48:42.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't disagree.

1118
00:48:42.880 --> 00:48:43.280
<v Speaker 4>What are they?

1119
00:48:43.719 --> 00:48:48.159
<v Speaker 3>What are they? Thirteen fourteen for the big tall to

1120
00:48:48.159 --> 00:48:50.440
<v Speaker 3>the tall can and you know, like I've talked about

1121
00:48:50.480 --> 00:48:52.440
<v Speaker 3>it in defense of them, they get they get six

1122
00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:54.280
<v Speaker 3>or seven football games to make their nut for the

1123
00:48:54.320 --> 00:48:56.840
<v Speaker 3>whole year. So you know, it's a big investment. So

1124
00:48:57.079 --> 00:48:58.880
<v Speaker 3>that's why they charge what they charge.

1125
00:48:59.079 --> 00:49:01.320
<v Speaker 17>Yeah, okay, hey, then the prize wouldn't be bad if

1126
00:49:01.320 --> 00:49:02.119
<v Speaker 17>the beers were cold.

1127
00:49:02.239 --> 00:49:05.159
<v Speaker 3>Man, Well that that's that's another factory really and again

1128
00:49:05.199 --> 00:49:08.639
<v Speaker 3>I don't control that. I wish I did, but.

1129
00:49:11.599 --> 00:49:14.440
<v Speaker 4>He's gotta uh, he's got to put that in the

1130
00:49:14.480 --> 00:49:15.159
<v Speaker 4>complaint box.

1131
00:49:16.440 --> 00:49:18.639
<v Speaker 3>Well I think you know, again, more seats, more people,

1132
00:49:18.679 --> 00:49:21.599
<v Speaker 3>so more sales'll they'll keep improving that. The pressure's on

1133
00:49:21.719 --> 00:49:23.199
<v Speaker 3>to improve right on all facets of that.

1134
00:49:23.440 --> 00:49:25.840
<v Speaker 2>If if you were the A D and you've been

1135
00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:28.280
<v Speaker 2>around long enough and you've known every A D here,

1136
00:49:28.360 --> 00:49:30.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you're you're talking to Desiree every now and again,

1137
00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:31.400
<v Speaker 2>what would you do?

1138
00:49:31.840 --> 00:49:33.679
<v Speaker 4>What would what were the like maybe top two or

1139
00:49:33.679 --> 00:49:34.400
<v Speaker 4>three priorities?

1140
00:49:35.960 --> 00:49:39.519
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think communication is really important with who with

1141
00:49:39.679 --> 00:49:42.599
<v Speaker 3>everybody that is on the inner circle and on that

1142
00:49:42.719 --> 00:49:45.280
<v Speaker 3>fringe it wants to come into the circle, right. I

1143
00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:48.360
<v Speaker 3>do think that she has her she has her work

1144
00:49:48.440 --> 00:49:52.199
<v Speaker 3>cut out for that because unfortunately, she came in at

1145
00:49:52.239 --> 00:49:54.880
<v Speaker 3>a time where it wasn't just the athletics, but the

1146
00:49:55.079 --> 00:49:58.920
<v Speaker 3>entire university was under the under the you know microscope, right,

1147
00:49:59.039 --> 00:50:01.360
<v Speaker 3>the cloud of the finance. So you know, even if

1148
00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:03.400
<v Speaker 3>she was the most shining star of all, and I

1149
00:50:03.480 --> 00:50:05.840
<v Speaker 3>think she's a really smart person and she seems like

1150
00:50:05.920 --> 00:50:08.480
<v Speaker 3>a very good leader in that'spect, I just don't know

1151
00:50:08.599 --> 00:50:10.559
<v Speaker 3>how you get out from that cloud when the entire

1152
00:50:10.719 --> 00:50:15.119
<v Speaker 3>university brand has been clouded by that financial situation. So

1153
00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:19.360
<v Speaker 3>over communicate, right, don't over promise, be honest and over

1154
00:50:19.400 --> 00:50:22.719
<v Speaker 3>community people know and and real fans know, real fans

1155
00:50:22.800 --> 00:50:25.519
<v Speaker 3>knew you know, forever with the Chicago Cubs, right, I mean,

1156
00:50:25.800 --> 00:50:27.559
<v Speaker 3>but they sold out all the time. Real fans know,

1157
00:50:28.039 --> 00:50:30.239
<v Speaker 3>real fans will support, and then you build from there

1158
00:50:30.280 --> 00:50:32.360
<v Speaker 3>and you ask those fans to bring their friends into

1159
00:50:32.400 --> 00:50:35.679
<v Speaker 3>the circle and bring more people in. But constantly communicate,

1160
00:50:35.880 --> 00:50:38.599
<v Speaker 3>constantly tell people what you're doing, why you think it's

1161
00:50:38.639 --> 00:50:42.480
<v Speaker 3>gonna work, what other risks for that decision, Because it

1162
00:50:42.840 --> 00:50:44.719
<v Speaker 3>is a it is a community, and it is a

1163
00:50:44.800 --> 00:50:46.880
<v Speaker 3>fragile nucleus right now, because we have a we have

1164
00:50:46.920 --> 00:50:48.679
<v Speaker 3>a factor, right, We talked about it all day long

1165
00:50:48.960 --> 00:50:51.039
<v Speaker 3>on this call, on this show that nil is a

1166
00:50:51.079 --> 00:50:53.599
<v Speaker 3>factor that we all really don't know yet. We hope

1167
00:50:53.639 --> 00:50:55.800
<v Speaker 3>it's getting to be some clarity, but they still don't

1168
00:50:55.840 --> 00:50:58.239
<v Speaker 3>know everything yet. And so as long as but but

1169
00:50:58.400 --> 00:51:00.559
<v Speaker 3>keep communicating, I think that's what needs to happen for

1170
00:51:00.599 --> 00:51:01.079
<v Speaker 3>the university.

1171
00:51:01.159 --> 00:51:01.239
<v Speaker 5>Right.

1172
00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:03.320
<v Speaker 4>So that's number one. We got about a minute. Give

1173
00:51:03.360 --> 00:51:03.960
<v Speaker 4>me another one.

1174
00:51:04.320 --> 00:51:06.840
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think don't like to lose. I think we

1175
00:51:06.920 --> 00:51:08.639
<v Speaker 3>said that that's for the teams. Yeah, I think for

1176
00:51:08.719 --> 00:51:10.199
<v Speaker 3>the team, well, for the for the and for the

1177
00:51:10.239 --> 00:51:12.280
<v Speaker 3>financial side too, you know, like we don't want to

1178
00:51:12.320 --> 00:51:14.000
<v Speaker 3>lose money. We don't want to lose we don't want

1179
00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:14.519
<v Speaker 3>to lose players.

1180
00:51:14.559 --> 00:51:16.039
<v Speaker 4>I can't afford to lose this anymore.

1181
00:51:16.159 --> 00:51:18.519
<v Speaker 3>No, No, it's a really it's a real business and

1182
00:51:18.599 --> 00:51:22.639
<v Speaker 3>it needs some It needs real accountability and transparency and communication.

1183
00:51:23.159 --> 00:51:25.960
<v Speaker 2>So we got about thirty seconds up the dumb question,

1184
00:51:26.119 --> 00:51:28.960
<v Speaker 2>how disappointed were you to hear about the finances?

1185
00:51:30.159 --> 00:51:32.920
<v Speaker 3>I was disappointed. I was diappointing because it's an education

1186
00:51:33.000 --> 00:51:35.159
<v Speaker 3>facility and I don't know what message we're sending to

1187
00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:37.760
<v Speaker 3>the to the kids out there. Then there's crazy stuff

1188
00:51:37.760 --> 00:51:39.320
<v Speaker 3>going on, right, I mean, you heard think about Macy's

1189
00:51:39.320 --> 00:51:42.239
<v Speaker 3>today or somebody you know did something regarding one hundred

1190
00:51:42.239 --> 00:51:44.960
<v Speaker 3>and fifty million. They can't even announce porly financials because

1191
00:51:44.960 --> 00:51:47.679
<v Speaker 3>somebody frauded the company of some money. You're about the
