00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:19.559
<v Speaker 3>Hey, good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to Eye on the Ball

7
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:22.640
<v Speaker 3>here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Riveta, he's

8
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:25.039
<v Speaker 3>Jagan Gauls. We've got a guy Ryan with us today.

9
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:26.960
<v Speaker 3>I only have one thing to say to you, Jay,

10
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:29.399
<v Speaker 3>but I'm glad I'm not in school anymore.

11
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:36.960
<v Speaker 4>That learning today got you. I know, I can't do it.

12
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:40.520
<v Speaker 4>Do you not have the I don't. I don't have

13
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:43.240
<v Speaker 4>the capacity, you know, the focus. You can't zero in

14
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:43.479
<v Speaker 4>on some.

15
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:47.280
<v Speaker 3>Focus determination, you throw anything right out there. I don't

16
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:51.399
<v Speaker 3>have the patience anymore to go through all that crap again.

17
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:53.960
<v Speaker 4>There's there's different ways of learning anymore, Steve. You can

18
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:58.000
<v Speaker 4>record stuff, you know, you know the I don't know

19
00:00:58.039 --> 00:00:58.600
<v Speaker 4>if you use it.

20
00:00:58.719 --> 00:00:59.159
<v Speaker 3>I use that.

21
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:03.159
<v Speaker 4>I use that pro not taking program. We don't have

22
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:04.280
<v Speaker 4>to take notes anymore.

23
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:05.719
<v Speaker 3>No, I know. You just got to clean it up

24
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:08.159
<v Speaker 3>and go back and listen to it again. Yeah, Yeah,

25
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:10.640
<v Speaker 3>that's all I do. Yeah, that's still like repetition, like

26
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:12.719
<v Speaker 3>you will explain what we're doing well.

27
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.599
<v Speaker 4>So for people who know what we're talking about, we're

28
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:18.359
<v Speaker 4>moving to a new studio here, they tell us by

29
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:19.400
<v Speaker 4>the end of the month, we're.

30
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:21.840
<v Speaker 3>Moving to the east side, like George Jefferson to the

31
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:22.959
<v Speaker 3>northeast side.

32
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.200
<v Speaker 4>We're gonna be over there in the we're moving. We're

33
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:30.359
<v Speaker 4>moving studios. So we went into took a look at

34
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:32.280
<v Speaker 4>the new studio today to kind of get trained on

35
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.480
<v Speaker 4>the board. Steve just kind of stood there with his

36
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 4>mouth hanging open while I was videotaping the thing so

37
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.799
<v Speaker 4>that I could go back and re refresh myself and

38
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:41.000
<v Speaker 4>all the stuff that I was forgetting.

39
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:43.920
<v Speaker 3>That didn't prevent you from your mouth though, but you

40
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:44.799
<v Speaker 3>just have a video.

41
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.560
<v Speaker 4>But we did videotape the whole video of the whole

42
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:51.719
<v Speaker 4>thing so that because you know, I was getting in

43
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:53.560
<v Speaker 4>about every third word I know about you.

44
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.120
<v Speaker 3>So right, Ryan, guess what you'll be taking some tests

45
00:01:57.719 --> 00:01:59.799
<v Speaker 3>you and the guys that are in our great interns

46
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 3>will be you guys.

47
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:03.439
<v Speaker 4>You guys will get this so easy though. It's right,

48
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:03.799
<v Speaker 4>you guys.

49
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:05.719
<v Speaker 3>This is what you guys do. Yeah, right, that's why

50
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:07.359
<v Speaker 3>you guys are young. You can learn me. I could

51
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:08.759
<v Speaker 3>give it, you know whatever.

52
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:10.560
<v Speaker 4>I just don't know that that room is big enough

53
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:11.199
<v Speaker 4>for both of us.

54
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:13.719
<v Speaker 3>You know, I know the colors because I could see

55
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:15.319
<v Speaker 3>those door blue right, and then you.

56
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:20.639
<v Speaker 4>Different color that's purple. I'm wearing that shirt again that

57
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:22.360
<v Speaker 4>you thought was peach. No, no, no, no no.

58
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.439
<v Speaker 3>In fact, in fact, I was gonna sit you because

59
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:26.719
<v Speaker 3>I saw you. The shirt says who's dressing you? Because

60
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:29.120
<v Speaker 3>they're doing a great time like that you made.

61
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:30.560
<v Speaker 4>This is the same one you made a comment on

62
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:31.000
<v Speaker 4>the other day.

63
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:33.639
<v Speaker 3>The other one was a peach one. That one's pretty pink.

64
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 3>It's the same shirt you're that.

65
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:37.240
<v Speaker 4>Oh no, I had a bright pink, have a bright

66
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:39.639
<v Speaker 4>But you notice this shirt.

67
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:42.400
<v Speaker 3>You know, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, because I think this

68
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:43.879
<v Speaker 3>is this is more of a laugh. It is your

69
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.240
<v Speaker 3>wife putting some stuff together because you ain't buiting that.

70
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:48.000
<v Speaker 3>The pink one.

71
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:49.919
<v Speaker 4>My wife bought me. This one my son bought.

72
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:50.039
<v Speaker 3>Oh.

73
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.800
<v Speaker 4>See the difference is this got the Nike logo. He's

74
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:55.680
<v Speaker 4>not gonna buy me anything. It's not Nike.

75
00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:00.159
<v Speaker 3>There's someone else's dressing you because you would not be wearing.

76
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.400
<v Speaker 4>I yelled at the other day, Steve, I got I

77
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:04.960
<v Speaker 4>showed up for golf and I've got Nike golf shoes

78
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.800
<v Speaker 4>on with Adida socks. My I didn't think. I thought

79
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:10.879
<v Speaker 4>he was going to make me go home. I thought

80
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:12.840
<v Speaker 4>Adam was going to make me go home. I seriously

81
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:14.960
<v Speaker 4>did I converse and pumas?

82
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:18.719
<v Speaker 3>Dress good? Play good? Who cares? Did you play any?

83
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:19.639
<v Speaker 2>He said?

84
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.360
<v Speaker 4>You can't play like that. I'm like, I'm like, like

85
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.280
<v Speaker 4>what I'm like, I'm looking at myself like a quick

86
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:27.639
<v Speaker 4>you can't have those socks on with those shoes.

87
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.960
<v Speaker 3>Who are you raising out there? Back in the day,

88
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.439
<v Speaker 3>you were lucky to have socks and shoes with the holes.

89
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:38.840
<v Speaker 3>Exactly sixty years later, you're about you having a different

90
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:39.280
<v Speaker 3>I know.

91
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:40.680
<v Speaker 4>My mom used to be the one yelling at me

92
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:41.319
<v Speaker 4>about my socks.

93
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:42.000
<v Speaker 3>And that's my son.

94
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:43.400
<v Speaker 4>What the hell is going on?

95
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:45.080
<v Speaker 3>To wear clean underwear? Because you never know?

96
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:50.360
<v Speaker 4>I never that never happened. Those things are dirtiest things

97
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 4>I put him on yesterday exactly.

98
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:57.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, okay, so I'm too too old to learn stick.

99
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:01.520
<v Speaker 4>Look, it's very cool. Well, have some more capabilities. We'll

100
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:02.800
<v Speaker 4>have more than one phone line.

101
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:04.120
<v Speaker 3>We'll know who's calling.

102
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.400
<v Speaker 4>We'll know who's calling. We'll have more than one phone line.

103
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:08.319
<v Speaker 4>You'll be able to call us and you won't get

104
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 4>a busy signal. Well, you know, take your call and

105
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:12.039
<v Speaker 4>put you on hold, and you'll be on hold for

106
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:13.840
<v Speaker 4>two and a half hours like you are for all

107
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:14.639
<v Speaker 4>those other shows.

108
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:18.120
<v Speaker 3>Right today, we're hoping them full lines work today. Yeah,

109
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.639
<v Speaker 3>I think they will. Yesterday we struggled to a possible

110
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:25.120
<v Speaker 3>interview or whatever and we got it to work eventually. Yeah,

111
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:27.040
<v Speaker 3>So we're hoping because we have a pretty good show today.

112
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:28.600
<v Speaker 4>Right. Well, one of the guests we were supposed to

113
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:33.319
<v Speaker 4>have yesterday, Alie Smith, the the daughter of the late

114
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:37.600
<v Speaker 4>Arizona football coach Larry Smith, but also the mother of

115
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:43.120
<v Speaker 4>a preferred walk on at Arizona, Mason Bray who. So

116
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:45.079
<v Speaker 4>we're going to talk to her about all of that,

117
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:48.519
<v Speaker 4>right being being the the mom of a player, being

118
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:50.560
<v Speaker 4>the daughter of a major college football coach, but that

119
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:53.160
<v Speaker 4>was like growing up, all those things. Just we'll just

120
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.879
<v Speaker 4>have some fun with that because you know, Larry Smith

121
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.160
<v Speaker 4>is still there, very well thought of in this town,

122
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.319
<v Speaker 4>despite you know how he left with USC and stuff

123
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.279
<v Speaker 4>like that. Over the overtiming think people have softened about

124
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:07.040
<v Speaker 4>about all of that, and he was, you know, continue

125
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:09.240
<v Speaker 4>to live here, and he and his wife and family

126
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.279
<v Speaker 4>were always very well thought of. So we'll have it.

127
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.480
<v Speaker 4>We'll have some fun with her, and then in the

128
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.399
<v Speaker 4>second hour at four fifteen, Amanda Beard is going to

129
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.279
<v Speaker 4>join us. Seven time medal winner, gold medal winner, uh

130
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:24.199
<v Speaker 4>two I think, two or three gold medal I think.

131
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:29.399
<v Speaker 3>So she was the darling darling of one of them.

132
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.319
<v Speaker 4>At the U of A. She's now she's been she

133
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.439
<v Speaker 4>was an assistant coach last year and got retained by

134
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:37.199
<v Speaker 4>the new coach this year. So we'll talk to her

135
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:40.120
<v Speaker 4>and of course get into the Olympic experience.

136
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:44.000
<v Speaker 3>Right exactly, Okay, no cool. On day two of practice

143
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.639

144
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:02.759
<v Speaker 4>Of well, he's good enough to be a starter, of course.

00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.480
<v Speaker 4>we say, these aren't professional athletes. Get well, they're sort

154
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:31.360
<v Speaker 4>of profession they're starting to be a professional athletes.

155
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.279
<v Speaker 3>But journalism still journalism, it is.

156
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.800
<v Speaker 4>And and just to do the right thing if you're

157
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.120
<v Speaker 4>if you're looking into, you know, if you want to know,

158
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:42.600
<v Speaker 4>or looking into what happened to me. Look, it's good

159
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:44.120
<v Speaker 4>enough for me to know that he's not gonna he's

160
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:46.279
<v Speaker 4>not gonna play. That's it. He's not We're not sitting

<v Speaker 4>Is he gonna play six weeks? He's not available this year.

163
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 4>If it's an injury, fine, If it's some personal issue,

164
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:57.120
<v Speaker 4>then whatever it is, you know, let him go off

165
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.000
<v Speaker 4>and deal with that. So, but yes, he is gonna

166
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:01.959
<v Speaker 4>be missed. When you're talking about a guy who would

167
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.560
<v Speaker 4>be starting on the offensive line, when you know how

168
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.519
<v Speaker 4>hard it is to come across offensive lineman, Yeah, it's

169
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:08.720
<v Speaker 4>gonna be he's gonna be missed.

170
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:11.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no question. Okay, So we'll talk a little about

204
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:52.879
<v Speaker 3>like out of there.

205
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:56.279
<v Speaker 4>I heard a bunch of stuff that Kevin Durant was

206
00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:00.039
<v Speaker 4>was was with somebody, Well he was, he was what

207
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:05.600
<v Speaker 4>do you call it trash talking the sudan players, Kadie,

208
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:06.200
<v Speaker 4>what are you doing?

209
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:06.720
<v Speaker 3>Really?

210
00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:08.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

211
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.480
<v Speaker 3>Well I thought he got into it with Keishaw Johnson

212
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:13.919
<v Speaker 3>or something on Twitter or or so.

213
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:16.879
<v Speaker 4>No, he apparently during they caught there's some I guess

214
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.399
<v Speaker 4>some video of him dogging, you know, the Sudanese players

215
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:21.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, what are you doing right?

216
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:26.399
<v Speaker 3>Come on, man, Yeah, it's like South Point talking crap about.

217
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:31.759
<v Speaker 4>Greenfield exactly exactly, Yeah, yeah, you're no your well, well, well,

218
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:33.120
<v Speaker 4>what it tells me is that they were a little

219
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:36.240
<v Speaker 4>concerned about how close Sudan kept that game because they

220
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:37.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, they were really I mean they were, they

221
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:40.240
<v Speaker 4>were never they weren't in it, but they weren't getting

222
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:43.919
<v Speaker 4>blown out. And I think they think the Americas, after

223
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.039
<v Speaker 4>after how close they came against them, they thought, Okay,

224
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:47.759
<v Speaker 4>we're going to go out there and kick their asses

225
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:49.840
<v Speaker 4>and make make sure that they know that that was

226
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:52.759
<v Speaker 4>an accident what happened the first time around. But the Sudans,

227
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:55.200
<v Speaker 4>they wouldn't go away. They kept hanging in ten, twelve,

228
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:58.519
<v Speaker 4>fourteen points down and didn't go away. So who knows what?

229
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:01.039
<v Speaker 4>Who knows it was on his mind? You know what?

230
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:02.639
<v Speaker 4>Excuse me be better than that, Kevin.

231
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:06.159
<v Speaker 3>Yes, well, you know I didn't see that.

232
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:08.399
<v Speaker 4>I didn't see much Olympics today other than to know

233
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:11.120
<v Speaker 4>that the guy that I that I picked to when

00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:47.399
<v Speaker 3>How why why would you bet on it?

273
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:50.360
<v Speaker 4>Well, there's yeah, we know how, but why you know,

274
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:52.720
<v Speaker 4>why would you want to bet on that unless you're

275
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.200
<v Speaker 4>just like you're bad. You need a phone number, you

276
00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:57.320
<v Speaker 4>need one eight hundred.

277
00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:05.279
<v Speaker 3>Next step, Yeah, take all advice from you. You need

278
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:09.919
<v Speaker 3>a next step hold though, yeah.

279
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:12.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, okay. I was just starting to go through Michael

280
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:16.799
<v Speaker 4>Lev's five takeaways. He's tweeting out five takeaways from every practice.

281
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:18.200
<v Speaker 4>He says he's going to be at every pree.

282
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:20.000
<v Speaker 3>So he said, is it from today? Yesterday?

283
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.600
<v Speaker 4>This was from today? Okay? So I just posted this

284
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:27.960
<v Speaker 4>with time at three o'clock. So he says, the quarterback

285
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.639
<v Speaker 4>battle appears to be wide open. Four quarterbacks. Rayden Dorman

286
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:36.519
<v Speaker 4>Anthony Garcia, Adam Demonte, and Cole Tannenbaum all got reps

287
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:39.360
<v Speaker 4>with the two's said, all had their moments. I wouldn't

288
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.600
<v Speaker 4>be surprised if Garcia, who has a background with the

289
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:44.480
<v Speaker 4>coaching staff, eventually wins the title. But this one is

290
00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:49.320
<v Speaker 4>a long way from interesting stuff. And you know that

291
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:51.080
<v Speaker 4>that's important. I mean, we saw it right. You know,

292
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:53.639
<v Speaker 4>if norf Feed is not the number two quarterback last year,

293
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:56.440
<v Speaker 4>who knows what all happens to that team? When when

294
00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:58.480
<v Speaker 4>de Laura got hurt? Sure, so you know that's a

295
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.679
<v Speaker 4>that's a big deal. Trading Stukes was back on the field.

296
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:06.639
<v Speaker 4>He missed. He missed the first practice. The running backs

297
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:10.639
<v Speaker 4>did a lot of work, he says. Tedor McMillan seems

298
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:13.200
<v Speaker 4>like a man on a mission. The rehabbing wide receiver

299
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:15.120
<v Speaker 4>around a series of sprints right in front of us

300
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.120
<v Speaker 4>as a temperature inch toward one hundred degrees late Thursday morning,

301
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:21.759
<v Speaker 4>t mac and head strength coach Colin Carroll have been

302
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:25.759
<v Speaker 4>attached at the hip. The only the McMillan quote unquote

303
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:28.279
<v Speaker 4>pulls the gronk and doesn't play this season is if

304
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:31.879
<v Speaker 4>something goes wrong with his recovery so far, so good. Yeah,

305
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:34.840
<v Speaker 4>because remember Gronk could have played and chose not to

306
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:36.399
<v Speaker 4>that last year.

307
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:38.759
<v Speaker 3>I think, didn't Adam Hall kind of go to the

308
00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:41.799
<v Speaker 3>same thing. Yeah, injury and then they tried to at

309
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:43.440
<v Speaker 3>the last minute and then because.

310
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:44.960
<v Speaker 4>Steps needed him and it didn't work.

311
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:46.879
<v Speaker 3>It did work out then that his career was kind

312
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:47.679
<v Speaker 3>of ended. Yeah.

313
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:52.559
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, so we're not going to get gronked with

314
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:54.399
<v Speaker 4>with t mac which which would be nice.

315
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:56.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but you know what I mean, he still got

316
00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:57.159
<v Speaker 3>work to do.

317
00:13:57.200 --> 00:13:59.720
<v Speaker 4>He still has to have a good year, you know,

318
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.679
<v Speaker 4>to be under consideration to get drafted if he wants

319
00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:06.000
<v Speaker 4>to get drafted high. So he can't not play and

320
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:08.519
<v Speaker 4>then think, okay, we're going to take it, you know.

321
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:10.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he starts to show that he's worth it, right,

322
00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:13.720
<v Speaker 3>although you know that he has crazy ability.

418
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:11.279
<v Speaker 13>even day. Yeah, it was very last minute. I mean

419
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:13.359
<v Speaker 13>we you know, he was kind of offered as a

420
00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:16.319
<v Speaker 13>walk on in the spring and then he had to

421
00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:20.720
<v Speaker 13>go through you know, a bunch of like a process.

422
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:23.839
<v Speaker 13>So we just found out he had to go through

423
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:29.599
<v Speaker 13>the appeal process because the grades were not well like

424
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:32.000
<v Speaker 13>you know, early on in high school. So he made

425
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:33.559
<v Speaker 13>up for the end, but we still had to go

426
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:36.440
<v Speaker 13>through that, and we found out Friday that he was approved,

427
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:39.240
<v Speaker 13>and so they called and said, we need you down

428
00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:42.319
<v Speaker 13>here Sunday. So we packed up and came down here

429
00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:45.960
<v Speaker 13>in forty eight hours. So it's been really exciting for

430
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:47.519
<v Speaker 13>him in all of us.

431
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:50.319
<v Speaker 3>Very nice and he had a fantastic senior year. If

432
00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:53.640
<v Speaker 3>I can remember, Oh, well, what would have happened had

433
00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:56.240
<v Speaker 3>he not shown up here? Would you have gone to

434
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:57.599
<v Speaker 3>to like a school somewhere else?

435
00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:01.160
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, we were looking at maybe like like a one

436
00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:04.000
<v Speaker 13>year school out of it. Like we knew, no matter what,

437
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:06.519
<v Speaker 13>we just wanted to get out of Phoenix. We wanted

438
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:08.400
<v Speaker 13>to get you know, all of us out of Phoenix.

439
00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:12.839
<v Speaker 13>And so yeah, if Arizona didn't happen, we were looking

440
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:16.079
<v Speaker 13>a few one you know, one year colleges, one or

441
00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:20.160
<v Speaker 13>two year colleges Midwest area. So, I mean, no matter what,

442
00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:22.480
<v Speaker 13>we knew, there was going to be an opportunity for Mason,

443
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:26.480
<v Speaker 13>you know, because he did not play his third year

444
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:29.279
<v Speaker 13>of high school and that didn't help him with recruiting.

445
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:33.160
<v Speaker 13>So but yeah, his senior year he fought, he won

446
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:37.119
<v Speaker 13>the starting position. You know, he had excellent grades all year,

447
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:40.599
<v Speaker 13>he was an amazing leader. He was injured after the

448
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:44.160
<v Speaker 13>third game and missed I believe three games, and then

449
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:46.440
<v Speaker 13>he came back and brought him back and they won state.

450
00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:49.680
<v Speaker 13>And you know, that's all you can ask for, is

451
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:51.839
<v Speaker 13>high school football player, right.

452
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:55.519
<v Speaker 3>Right, So, so, so what's what's the well we're talking

453
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:59.079
<v Speaker 3>about masonbry right right, what's the opportunity for him as

454
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:00.119
<v Speaker 3>a preferred walk on on?

455
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.640
<v Speaker 4>You know, what's what's he hoping for you know for

456
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:06.680
<v Speaker 4>this year or next year and beyond. I mean, what,

457
00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:08.599
<v Speaker 4>what's what's the approach right now and what can you

458
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.200
<v Speaker 4>expect to uh see as he as he goes through

459
00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:12.720
<v Speaker 4>this season.

460
00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:16.480
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, well, great question. The first thing he has to

461
00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:21.240
<v Speaker 13>learn this whole offense. You know, he he actually ran

462
00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:24.079
<v Speaker 13>a really good offense in high school because his head

463
00:21:24.079 --> 00:21:27.000
<v Speaker 13>coach was Dat Kill, who came from you know, numerous

464
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:29.599
<v Speaker 13>other programs in college and is now at the Seahawks.

465
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:33.559
<v Speaker 13>So Mason got really great experience with learning that offense

466
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:37.079
<v Speaker 13>and all I know was super complicated. So I feel

467
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:41.240
<v Speaker 13>like that already puts him ahead because he is phenomenal

468
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:44.759
<v Speaker 13>when it comes to reading offense and reading defense. And

469
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:48.480
<v Speaker 13>I mean he's a smart, smart quarterback, so you know,

470
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:50.720
<v Speaker 13>it's in his blood. I mean, this is a kid

471
00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:53.480
<v Speaker 13>that I can tell you from a very young age

472
00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:56.680
<v Speaker 13>he started writing his own playbook, you know, and he's

473
00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:59.960
<v Speaker 13>left with the football. So but this year, I think

474
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.400
<v Speaker 13>really he's focused on just really getting a foundation and

475
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:06.119
<v Speaker 13>getting you know, to know the team. I'm very grateful

476
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:09.279
<v Speaker 13>that this team is so family because that's exactly what

477
00:22:09.319 --> 00:22:13.359
<v Speaker 13>Mason needs. And learning the offense and you know, getting

478
00:22:13.400 --> 00:22:16.960
<v Speaker 13>grounded in school and you know, all the practices he's

479
00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:19.480
<v Speaker 13>had in his life so he can get to this point.

480
00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:21.799
<v Speaker 3>Oh so, I think one of the questions we wanted

481
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:24.519
<v Speaker 3>to ask is you're excited in the East Spring when

482
00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:28.599
<v Speaker 3>all this started. How excited were you one? Because he's

483
00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:30.839
<v Speaker 3>kind of coming back home at he's home for you too,

484
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:33.960
<v Speaker 3>right giving your daughter was Larry Smith. How would your

485
00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:35.119
<v Speaker 3>dad feel about this?

486
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:39.599
<v Speaker 13>Oh my gosh, myar We keep thinking about that. And

487
00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:44.160
<v Speaker 13>you know, this morning, Mason was at be a practice

488
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:48.119
<v Speaker 13>for the very first time, and you know, I got

489
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:50.440
<v Speaker 13>a photo of him in the Arizona helmet and I

490
00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:53.480
<v Speaker 13>just thought, oh, my gosh, his dad, my dad, Like

491
00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:56.559
<v Speaker 13>you know, there's such a legacy here between you know,

492
00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:59.559
<v Speaker 13>my dad and then his father too. And the really

493
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:03.119
<v Speaker 13>cool thing as Mason is number fourteen exactly like he's wow.

494
00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:08.440
<v Speaker 13>But you know, my dad, like, Mason is the youngest

495
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:11.960
<v Speaker 13>of five other boys within my family, not me, but

496
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:14.000
<v Speaker 13>you know, I have a brother too, and there's five

497
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:17.119
<v Speaker 13>boys and one girl. And I'm when Mason was very little,

498
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:21.960
<v Speaker 13>maybe two, when my father was still alive, and Mason's

499
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:23.680
<v Speaker 13>on the floor and my dad looks down at him.

500
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:26.359
<v Speaker 13>He goes that one I go what he goes. That's

501
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:30.119
<v Speaker 13>the one that's that's going to do something far. I

502
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:32.480
<v Speaker 13>was like, he's two. Dad, He's like, he's the one.

503
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:39.279
<v Speaker 3>So that's how that's how it starts with those guys.

504
00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:41.440
<v Speaker 3>You know he's born, you know, you know, it's going

505
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:42.119
<v Speaker 3>to be my star.

506
00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:45.640
<v Speaker 13>That's what he said. I'm like, well, and he was

507
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:48.519
<v Speaker 13>like really sad as a kid. He was like really chunky,

508
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:51.839
<v Speaker 13>and like we have a brother son, Heath and I do,

509
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:54.839
<v Speaker 13>and he's really tall, lanky, and then Mason's you know,

510
00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:58.519
<v Speaker 13>Mason's tall, but he's way more sick. So so he

511
00:23:58.640 --> 00:24:00.200
<v Speaker 13>was right. My dad was right?

512
00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:04.440
<v Speaker 4>Is it? I mean, as you as you're trying to

513
00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:06.799
<v Speaker 4>figure out what to do, I mean, how hard was

514
00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:09.440
<v Speaker 4>it to I mean you want I mean, was Arizona

515
00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:12.319
<v Speaker 4>the place you wanted to end up? Or where were

516
00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:14.839
<v Speaker 4>you just looking for any opportunity? I guess I know

517
00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:16.720
<v Speaker 4>if that's the right way to ask that. But how

518
00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:19.359
<v Speaker 4>important was this for you guys that he wind up here?

519
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:24.039
<v Speaker 13>Extreme Well, I think this is the best place for him,

520
00:24:24.359 --> 00:24:27.799
<v Speaker 13>you know, considering with what he just went through, you know,

521
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:31.920
<v Speaker 13>with his you know, he unfortunately passed away four months ago,

522
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:34.160
<v Speaker 13>and all he's ever won, and it was that his

523
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:38.799
<v Speaker 13>son played at Arizona, and ironically, Arizona reached out and

524
00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:41.880
<v Speaker 13>you know offered Mason, you know, I mean whatever you

525
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:45.200
<v Speaker 13>call that as a walk on. But he didn't even

526
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:47.680
<v Speaker 13>know about it. So Mason got to tell his dad

527
00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:49.480
<v Speaker 13>that Thursday, and he's.

528
00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:53.160
<v Speaker 3>Passed on Saturday too, well right before.

529
00:24:55.279 --> 00:25:00.119
<v Speaker 13>So he's died knowing his son got that opportunity and

530
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:03.920
<v Speaker 13>you know, for his healing. For I mean, my family's here.

531
00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:06.599
<v Speaker 13>You know, we have a lot of support in Tucson.

532
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:11.039
<v Speaker 13>I know, you know, old players, alumni, half the staff,

533
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:16.400
<v Speaker 13>you know, they know Heath, they know Mason, so you know,

534
00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:18.359
<v Speaker 13>I just think it's the best place for him. And

535
00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:22.039
<v Speaker 13>he came home, well, you know, I had to drive

536
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:24.319
<v Speaker 13>him down here. We're actually putting rid of his dorm.

537
00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:26.640
<v Speaker 13>In about an hour he gets to go in his

538
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:30.799
<v Speaker 13>dorm finally. So he's been staying with you know, my

539
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:32.759
<v Speaker 13>my mom lives here in TUSA, so we've been staying

540
00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:34.440
<v Speaker 13>with her till we can get him. But he's been

541
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:37.640
<v Speaker 13>you know, down at you a ail day and the

542
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:39.960
<v Speaker 13>first day he came home and he just goes, Mom,

543
00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:45.720
<v Speaker 13>everyone's so nice to be Yeah, yeah, no, but he

544
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:48.759
<v Speaker 13>just said, it just feels like family. It feels like

545
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:52.200
<v Speaker 13>home to him, and he feels safe, so I think

546
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:53.519
<v Speaker 13>it's a perfect place for him.

547
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:56.079
<v Speaker 3>Let me ask you, can your mom cook? Because if

548
00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:57.519
<v Speaker 3>she can cook, guess who's going to be there.

549
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:02.279
<v Speaker 13>She can cook. But yeah, I mean, Mason's one of

550
00:26:02.319 --> 00:26:05.359
<v Speaker 13>those who eats every few hours, so you know, she's

551
00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:07.799
<v Speaker 13>got to cook a lot of stuff. But yeah, I

552
00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:09.880
<v Speaker 13>mean the nice thing is that if he needs anything,

553
00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:13.599
<v Speaker 13>you know, my mom's here, and then my other son

554
00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:15.599
<v Speaker 13>and I are moving down here in about a month

555
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:16.599
<v Speaker 13>back to Sucson.

556
00:26:16.799 --> 00:26:20.640
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow, wow, okay, cool, yeah, cool cool. We talk

557
00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:23.599
<v Speaker 3>about your dad a lot on this show. Given the

558
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:27.200
<v Speaker 3>history of the coaching staffs here, good and bad. Your

559
00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:30.200
<v Speaker 3>dad was a really good one obviously. How old How

560
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:32.039
<v Speaker 3>old were you at the time that he was coaching,

561
00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:34.640
<v Speaker 3>because he was followed by another good one? Didn't tell

562
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:36.480
<v Speaker 3>me right, correct?

563
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:41.400
<v Speaker 13>Yeah? So I so nineteen eighty So I was nine

564
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:43.960
<v Speaker 13>or ten years old. Not to tell you my age,

565
00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:47.680
<v Speaker 13>but I was about ten. So you know, a lot

566
00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:50.400
<v Speaker 13>of those guys like Ricky, you know, all those old

567
00:26:50.440 --> 00:26:53.599
<v Speaker 13>guys suck, Mike. I knew them, you know. I was

568
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:55.680
<v Speaker 13>running around on the practice field when I was ten

569
00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:59.200
<v Speaker 13>eleven years old. So it's been nice because they have

570
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:03.400
<v Speaker 13>always still been family. And yeah, I mean, I know,

571
00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:06.839
<v Speaker 13>you know, they're so proud. I know every you know,

572
00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:10.960
<v Speaker 13>everyone that knows the whole situation with Mason and football is.

573
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:14.119
<v Speaker 13>You know, we're just so super proud of the work

574
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:17.200
<v Speaker 13>he's done and the effort and just being locked in

575
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:18.240
<v Speaker 13>so you can get here.

576
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:21.200
<v Speaker 4>What was It's hard to Its hard to say like

577
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:24.079
<v Speaker 4>this because there were so many aspects of being in

578
00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:26.440
<v Speaker 4>you know, in a sports family like that, where your

579
00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:30.559
<v Speaker 4>your dad's you know, a major college football coach. You move,

580
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:33.200
<v Speaker 4>you moved some successful one, you moved from from places

581
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:37.279
<v Speaker 4>everybody knows your dad. You walk into restaurants people know him.

582
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:39.480
<v Speaker 4>You know, you're running around on the field with people,

583
00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:42.160
<v Speaker 4>as you said, Ricky Hunley and Chuck Cecil, people who

584
00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:44.440
<v Speaker 4>are on TV and in the newspaper all the time.

585
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:48.000
<v Speaker 4>As a little girl, a little kid and not specifically

586
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:49.839
<v Speaker 4>a girl, but just as a little kid seeing all

587
00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:53.279
<v Speaker 4>that did that was that normal to you? Did it

588
00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:56.440
<v Speaker 4>seem normal to you or did you know? You were

589
00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:59.119
<v Speaker 4>in a situation that not a lot of kids are in.

590
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:05.480
<v Speaker 13>It was very very normal. And I think I like

591
00:28:05.680 --> 00:28:09.680
<v Speaker 13>because I had this staying all through childhood that like Saturdays,

592
00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:12.119
<v Speaker 13>I couldn't do a friend, I couldn't work, I couldn't

593
00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:14.200
<v Speaker 13>do anything on Saturdays because that was our game day.

594
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:18.079
<v Speaker 13>And so as a coach's family, like you live for Saturdays,

595
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:21.599
<v Speaker 13>and you know there's a mindset you wake up anxiety

596
00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:24.559
<v Speaker 13>and nerves and you know it's so you know a

597
00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:29.599
<v Speaker 13>lot of my friends throughout my life have really come

598
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:33.440
<v Speaker 13>to understand Lee Valley alone on Saturdays. And now it's

599
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:36.559
<v Speaker 13>been since Mason, you know, been playing high school. It

600
00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:39.119
<v Speaker 13>was like that on Friday. As the mom of a quarterback,

601
00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:41.799
<v Speaker 13>you know all those nerves too. So I mean I've

602
00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:45.720
<v Speaker 13>been very fortunate to you know, this job and this

603
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:51.680
<v Speaker 13>life and the coaching world. You know, it's great. You know,

604
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:54.519
<v Speaker 13>there's a lot of perks to it. You know, there's

605
00:28:54.559 --> 00:28:57.920
<v Speaker 13>also a lot of negative to it. You know, your

606
00:28:57.960 --> 00:28:59.960
<v Speaker 13>life is in the limelight. It's hard to really check

607
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:01.160
<v Speaker 13>people sometimes.

608
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:01.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

609
00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:04.359
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, you know, they love you one second, they hate

610
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:07.240
<v Speaker 13>you the next. So and that affects everyone, not just

611
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:09.720
<v Speaker 13>you know my father, to affects that whole family. So

612
00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:13.559
<v Speaker 13>you know, I have a soft spot for other kids,

613
00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:17.839
<v Speaker 13>you know, other families that come from this world because nowadays,

614
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:20.640
<v Speaker 13>you know, it's a transfer portal and people are fired

615
00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:23.240
<v Speaker 13>all the time. Like you know, back in night Day,

616
00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:25.359
<v Speaker 13>I think it was pretty normal that you had a

617
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:28.200
<v Speaker 13>job for an average of about five years. Now I

618
00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:33.880
<v Speaker 13>think it's maybe two thirty, right, So yeah, it's it

619
00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:36.720
<v Speaker 13>was just it was amazing. It was. I was very

620
00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:41.000
<v Speaker 13>fortunate and you know, been around football players and all

621
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:45.240
<v Speaker 13>these brothers I've had my whole life, and you know,

622
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:49.240
<v Speaker 13>now we're older and they still are families. So you know,

623
00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:51.240
<v Speaker 13>it's a bomb that never goes away, whether you're a

624
00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:54.839
<v Speaker 13>player or a coach or you know a family that

625
00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:55.880
<v Speaker 13>age well.

626
00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:57.839
<v Speaker 3>That age you talked about ten in nineteen eight, but

627
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:00.839
<v Speaker 3>you were probably in your early teens when your dad

628
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:03.839
<v Speaker 3>decided to leave and you already built all these friends here.

629
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:05.039
<v Speaker 3>How was that for you?

630
00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:09.240
<v Speaker 13>Oh, it's great. Well, the nice thing is that I

631
00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:11.599
<v Speaker 13>was also an athlete. I was a swimmer. I swam

632
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:15.119
<v Speaker 13>me around for fourteen years of my life until college.

633
00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:19.920
<v Speaker 13>So you know, with min dad. I remember when my

634
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:24.359
<v Speaker 13>dad was interviewing for USC and he came home and

635
00:30:24.359 --> 00:30:26.319
<v Speaker 13>he sat Astanta as a family and said, how do

636
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:29.240
<v Speaker 13>you guys feel about moving out to la And I

637
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:32.039
<v Speaker 13>was like, yes, you know, I wanted to live in California,

638
00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:35.359
<v Speaker 13>and my mom, you know, not everyone else in the

639
00:30:35.359 --> 00:30:39.039
<v Speaker 13>family was really for that. Yeah, but obviously we ended

640
00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:41.240
<v Speaker 13>up going there and it was a great experience, and

641
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:43.359
<v Speaker 13>I think it helped me because I was an athlete

642
00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:47.960
<v Speaker 13>that I you know, met friends fast. I got really connected,

643
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:51.119
<v Speaker 13>you know, I got into my group pretty quick, so

644
00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:51.799
<v Speaker 13>it was easy.

645
00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:53.839
<v Speaker 3>So I'm sorry, where did you go to college?

646
00:30:54.920 --> 00:30:56.519
<v Speaker 13>I went to college in State Elizabeth though.

647
00:30:56.799 --> 00:30:59.359
<v Speaker 3>Okay, okay, so you stayed in the Okay, did you

648
00:30:59.359 --> 00:30:59.839
<v Speaker 3>swim there?

649
00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:03.960
<v Speaker 13>I swam there for a year and then I was done.

650
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:10.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, okay, okay. So Jay always talks about this too.

651
00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:13.160
<v Speaker 3>You have. So your dad was here and then he

652
00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:15.839
<v Speaker 3>left and he went to Missouri. But guess what happens.

653
00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:19.599
<v Speaker 3>You came back, your mom came back. Now you're coming back.

654
00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:22.680
<v Speaker 3>He came back. Tucson must be a special place.

655
00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:26.640
<v Speaker 13>It is. We can't stay away from this place, you know.

656
00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:31.440
<v Speaker 13>So when my dad got hired at Missouri, my mom

657
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:34.039
<v Speaker 13>and dad had a place in Tucson, and so when

658
00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:37.759
<v Speaker 13>they left her there, they they held onto that place

659
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:40.960
<v Speaker 13>and because they knew they always wanted to retire in Tucson,

660
00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:44.960
<v Speaker 13>so that's what they did. And I've been in got

661
00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:48.240
<v Speaker 13>Staff for the past eight years, and now that Mason's

662
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:51.119
<v Speaker 13>here and I don't have to live up there anymore,

663
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:55.039
<v Speaker 13>so we're all coming down here. Plus with the circumstance,

664
00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:57.440
<v Speaker 13>I feel like we all need to be close for

665
00:31:57.559 --> 00:31:59.799
<v Speaker 13>that healing part with both of our boys.

666
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:01.799
<v Speaker 3>So let me tell you something. Let me give you a secret.

667
00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:04.160
<v Speaker 3>You part already know. It's not as stuffy down here.

668
00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:09.799
<v Speaker 14>That is, It's true, true, but I will say it's

669
00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:14.440
<v Speaker 14>not as clean, not as clean as well.

670
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:15.839
<v Speaker 3>There's that we're working on it.

671
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:16.640
<v Speaker 4>We're working on.

672
00:32:18.119 --> 00:32:19.200
<v Speaker 12>Down the roads.

673
00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:21.400
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, I get out there for you.

674
00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:26.160
<v Speaker 4>And I'm like, yeah, And downtown's gotten much better too, though,

675
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:28.960
<v Speaker 4>you got to give us that. We've got to very

676
00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:32.400
<v Speaker 4>nice downtown again. So it's very I see that. Yeah.

677
00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:35.519
<v Speaker 4>So so as a mom this year. So you know,

678
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:37.880
<v Speaker 4>I mean, the likelihood that Mason's going to get on

679
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:39.759
<v Speaker 4>the field is probably not very high, and he's got

680
00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:41.319
<v Speaker 4>you know, he's got to work his way and stuff

681
00:32:41.359 --> 00:32:44.319
<v Speaker 4>like that. But you're still gonna be out there going

682
00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:48.920
<v Speaker 4>to the games, uh, like you know, like you did before. Uh,

683
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:51.559
<v Speaker 4>what what Saturday is gonna be like for you now?

684
00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:55.640
<v Speaker 4>With your son on it on the team.

685
00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:58.680
<v Speaker 13>Well, if he's not playing, and it'll be fine, I mean,

686
00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:02.039
<v Speaker 13>nerve anxiety. If he's playing, it's you know, it's a

687
00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:04.920
<v Speaker 13>whole different ball game, a whole different mindset. But you know,

688
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:08.839
<v Speaker 13>we've always been Wildcats from the heart, and we've always

689
00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:11.920
<v Speaker 13>followed Arizona my whole family. I always have, so have

690
00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:16.599
<v Speaker 13>the you know, our boys, especially Mason. It was cool.

691
00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:19.880
<v Speaker 13>He's had this Arizona banner up on his wall in

692
00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:23.640
<v Speaker 13>his room at home for eight years and it's now

693
00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:25.400
<v Speaker 13>going to be in his dorm. Yeah, and all his

694
00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:28.519
<v Speaker 13>you know. So it's very exciting. But you know, as

695
00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:31.519
<v Speaker 13>a mom, I'm just here for support and to push

696
00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:35.319
<v Speaker 13>him and keep him accountable and make sure he has fun, because,

697
00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:38.240
<v Speaker 13>more than anything, this experience should be fun for him. Yes,

698
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:41.680
<v Speaker 13>you know, I know he's been very humble since he's

699
00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:44.000
<v Speaker 13>been there. He's not the hot sat on the black

700
00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:47.279
<v Speaker 13>anymore like Yard high school. So it's good. You know,

701
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:51.880
<v Speaker 13>it's a process there. He's got a great roommate, so

702
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:54.119
<v Speaker 13>he's been blocked in.

703
00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:57.160
<v Speaker 3>Right right, So you must be very happy to be

704
00:33:57.279 --> 00:33:59.559

766
00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:06.639
<v Speaker 4>a lot of times you forget that these coaches have

767
00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:09.440
<v Speaker 4>families and a lot of times little kids, right or

768
00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:13.119
<v Speaker 4>teenagers or ten year old kids you know who are

769
00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:17.440
<v Speaker 4>going through this when they hear that, you know, people

770
00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:21.519
<v Speaker 4>booing their dads or their moms, you know, saying stuff

771
00:37:21.519 --> 00:37:23.639
<v Speaker 4>about it. Now in today's world, you know, with the

772
00:37:23.639 --> 00:37:26.159
<v Speaker 4>social media and all that stuff, and that there's these

773
00:37:26.199 --> 00:37:28.000
<v Speaker 4>little kids that are going through that stuff, and it's

774
00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:30.599
<v Speaker 4>kind of like, you know, you forget about that and

775
00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:33.679
<v Speaker 4>how that stuff might affect you know, those those kids,

776
00:37:33.679 --> 00:37:38.039
<v Speaker 4>because I mean, you know, it's actually kind of a

777
00:37:38.079 --> 00:37:42.079
<v Speaker 4>funny story. You know, one time when I was when

778
00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:44.599
<v Speaker 4>I was covering football. One of the things I had

779
00:37:44.719 --> 00:37:48.199
<v Speaker 4>was a was a Friday Picks column. I was bad

780
00:37:48.199 --> 00:37:53.079
<v Speaker 4>at it then too. I'm sure I would predict all

781
00:37:53.079 --> 00:37:55.519
<v Speaker 4>the top twenty. Back then it was top twenty instead

782
00:37:55.519 --> 00:37:59.480
<v Speaker 4>of twenty five top twenty college football games. And I

783
00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:01.639
<v Speaker 4>knew around the time that Pete Rose was getting in

784
00:38:01.639 --> 00:38:05.400
<v Speaker 4>trouble for his gambling stuff. So every column I had

785
00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:09.199
<v Speaker 4>some sort of a comment about Pete Rose, and you know,

786
00:38:10.519 --> 00:38:14.599
<v Speaker 4>just some snid remark because I didn't like him. So finally,

787
00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:17.559
<v Speaker 4>at some point during the season, somebody writes a letter

788
00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:20.400
<v Speaker 4>to the editor. We had letters to the sports editor

789
00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:22.679
<v Speaker 4>that ran on Sundays. Soon writes a letter to the

790
00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:25.960
<v Speaker 4>sports editor ripping me for being a jerk and called

791
00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:30.440
<v Speaker 4>me a jerk in the letter for uh for calling

792
00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:33.440
<v Speaker 4>you being so mean to Pete Rose. And my mom

793
00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:36.360
<v Speaker 4>calls me and wants me to get the lady's address

794
00:38:36.440 --> 00:38:40.559
<v Speaker 4>and phone number so he could cook. So she go

795
00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:41.199
<v Speaker 4>beat her up.

796
00:38:41.760 --> 00:38:45.880
<v Speaker 3>You don't call you don't call that.

797
00:38:47.039 --> 00:38:48.559
<v Speaker 4>She literally she called me, can you get the phone

798
00:38:48.639 --> 00:38:50.199
<v Speaker 4>number of that lady. I want to find out who

799
00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:51.880
<v Speaker 4>she is, and I want to go kick her ass.

800
00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:55.559
<v Speaker 4>And I'm like, Mom, relax, Okay, probably that's part of

801
00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:57.559
<v Speaker 4>the job. I've got to call him. My pictures in

802
00:38:57.639 --> 00:38:59.800
<v Speaker 4>the paper, people are gonna say things about me. Yeah,

803
00:38:59.840 --> 00:39:02.039
<v Speaker 4>but she shouldn't be calling you a jerk in the newspaper.

804
00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:06.199
<v Speaker 4>I kind of am, you know, kind of I to

805
00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:07.920
<v Speaker 4>diffuse that. I said, yeah, no, I'm fine with it.

806
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:09.400
<v Speaker 3>No big deal. She was.

807
00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:11.159
<v Speaker 4>She was hurt by that. But that's sort of the

808
00:39:11.159 --> 00:39:13.119
<v Speaker 4>you know, the same thing with kids, right sure. I

809
00:39:13.159 --> 00:39:14.519
<v Speaker 4>mean we all think, you know, when we think about

810
00:39:14.559 --> 00:39:16.639
<v Speaker 4>Larry Smith, we will think about the time that you know,

811
00:39:16.840 --> 00:39:19.519
<v Speaker 4>he alleged I wasn't at that game, but where he

812
00:39:19.800 --> 00:39:21.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, supposedly flipped. I was at the game. I

813
00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:23.920
<v Speaker 4>just missed when we flipped off the crowd. You know,

814
00:39:25.079 --> 00:39:29.440
<v Speaker 4>it's like, you know, these kids are going through that too.

815
00:39:29.760 --> 00:39:32.679
<v Speaker 4>They're hearing people say stuff about their their parents and

816
00:39:32.719 --> 00:39:34.840
<v Speaker 4>their and stuff, and they have to they have to

817
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:35.320
<v Speaker 4>deal with that.

818
00:39:35.880 --> 00:39:39.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, no, I can. I can understand that completely.

819
00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:42.239
<v Speaker 3>It was good to talk to her. Yeah, and we'll

820
00:39:42.280 --> 00:39:46.960
<v Speaker 3>talk more about about about U of A obviously down

821
00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:48.920

00:39:48.960 --> 00:39:51.639
<v Speaker 3>and getting issue stuff that will significance.

823
00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:52.480
<v Speaker 13>Uh.

824
00:39:52.760 --> 00:39:55.320
<v Speaker 3>In about half hour we got to get a man

828
00:40:06.239 --> 00:40:08.119
<v Speaker 4>I didn't see hardly anybody. Watched a little bit of

829
00:40:08.119 --> 00:40:11.760
<v Speaker 4>the golf this morning. That was about it. Do I

830
00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:13.280
<v Speaker 4>know when Chase Fighting is playing again?

831
00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:15.239
<v Speaker 3>No? I don't.

832
00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:17.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so you know, i'd like, you know, I kind

833
00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:17.599
<v Speaker 4>of keeping.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well no, she's got she's got the individual ten

836
00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:25.800
<v Speaker 4>meter platform event that she's in. I just don't know

837
00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:29.800
<v Speaker 4>when that is, you know, I don't even know where

838
00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:31.440
<v Speaker 4>they are. And the diving stuff, you know, there's all

839
00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:37.039
<v Speaker 4>the swimming stuff going on, you know, just there's there's

840
00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:38.960
<v Speaker 4>so much stuff going on. Hardy to keep up with it. Now,

841
00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:41.559
<v Speaker 4>Like I said, you can watch all the sports. I mean,

842
00:40:41.599 --> 00:40:43.320
<v Speaker 4>you've got archery, you can watch.

843
00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:46.679
<v Speaker 3>I saw some kayak. I saw some ping pong yesterday.

844
00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:48.920
<v Speaker 3>That was fun sport.

845
00:40:49.000 --> 00:40:52.280
<v Speaker 4>I love the kayaking, the bad minton, the there's so

846
00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:55.920
<v Speaker 4>much stuff. Breakdancing. Have you watched any of the breakdancing?

847
00:40:56.199 --> 00:40:59.599
<v Speaker 4>Neither there's breakdancing is the Olympic sport? Did you know

848
00:40:59.639 --> 00:41:04.719
<v Speaker 4>that it's break dances? And again break dancing is Olympics sport.

849
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:07.440
<v Speaker 4>But baseball and softball are not, right, But you.

850
00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:12.039
<v Speaker 3>Don't want the coach and Bush talked about that the

851
00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:16.519
<v Speaker 3>whole city. Yeah, that makes that makes sense. No softball, right,

852
00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:18.079
<v Speaker 3>no softball.

853
00:41:18.079 --> 00:41:20.960
<v Speaker 4>No softball, baseball. But there'll be softball and baseball next year. Yeah,

854
00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:22.159
<v Speaker 4>But the way I think softball is going to be

855
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:24.559
<v Speaker 4>in Oklahoma City when the rest of the Olympics, some

856
00:41:24.679 --> 00:41:25.920
<v Speaker 4>most of the Olympics are going to be in l

857
00:41:25.960 --> 00:41:27.480
<v Speaker 4>a Oh. Is that really they're going to play softball

858
00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:29.199
<v Speaker 4>at that makes in Oklahoma City?

859
00:41:29.320 --> 00:41:29.920
<v Speaker 3>That makes sense.

860
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:32.360
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, it doesn't to me. They got soft

861
00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:35.039
<v Speaker 4>there's good softball stadiums. But that's all over in LA.

862
00:41:35.719 --> 00:41:37.960
<v Speaker 3>On a normal day in LA. Just to drive around,

863
00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:39.920
<v Speaker 3>oh god, that's going to be a mess. But now

864
00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:42.239
<v Speaker 3>you have Oklahoma City. Just concentrate.

865
00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:45.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but if you're an Olympic softball player, you're not

866
00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:50.559
<v Speaker 4>really where the Olympics are. I don't know, Steve, I

867
00:41:50.599 --> 00:41:52.280
<v Speaker 4>don't know. I would I would have thought that you

868
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:55.920
<v Speaker 4>could play softball at USC Stadium or U c l

869
00:41:55.960 --> 00:41:56.800
<v Speaker 4>A Stadium or.

870
00:41:56.880 --> 00:41:58.719
<v Speaker 3>All those places. Yeah, I didn't know that. I didn't

871
00:41:58.760 --> 00:42:01.280
<v Speaker 3>know that. But I don't know lot l A. I

872
00:42:01.320 --> 00:42:04.480
<v Speaker 3>hate l A. Here's a disclaimer.

873
00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:08.679
<v Speaker 4>Driving around, Oh god, I mean I wouldn't live there.

874
00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:10.840
<v Speaker 3>What's the word for you? Then?

875
00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:13.639
<v Speaker 4>I mean I like going there.

876
00:42:14.760 --> 00:42:16.960
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, I like l A driving around.

877
00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:19.320
<v Speaker 4>Oh no, see when I when I when I go

878
00:42:19.400 --> 00:42:21.559
<v Speaker 4>to l A and I'm in traffic, it's just to me,

879
00:42:21.599 --> 00:42:24.280
<v Speaker 4>it's an accepted part of being in l A. I

880
00:42:24.280 --> 00:42:26.519
<v Speaker 4>don't I don't deal with it all day. You know,

881
00:42:27.079 --> 00:42:28.920
<v Speaker 4>all my life, you know, every day of my life,

882
00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:30.320
<v Speaker 4>so I don't mind it.

883
00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:32.920
<v Speaker 3>I'll give you a story. It rained one saturday. It

884
00:42:32.960 --> 00:42:34.440
<v Speaker 3>was a little play the u USC and U C

885
00:42:34.599 --> 00:42:37.039
<v Speaker 3>l A. My then wife we had a party in

886
00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:39.400
<v Speaker 3>engagement to go to on a Friday. It rained. It

887
00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:45.719
<v Speaker 3>took about four hours to go seven miles. Seven miles.

888
00:42:46.000 --> 00:42:48.480
<v Speaker 4>I've never had that happen. Oh, you couldn't get off

889
00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:49.519
<v Speaker 4>the freeway wherever that.

890
00:42:49.800 --> 00:42:52.320
<v Speaker 3>Because everybody was trying to do that, and that was

891
00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:56.280
<v Speaker 3>everybody trying to, you know, find a spot to get up. No, no,

892
00:42:56.400 --> 00:42:58.960
<v Speaker 3>it was not good. And I remember training day.

893
00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:04.280
<v Speaker 4>Let's take this car. You're on the air nine the ball.

894
00:43:05.719 --> 00:43:07.800
<v Speaker 12>Hey, j hey, Steve, this is done done?

895
00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:08.559
<v Speaker 3>What's going on?

896
00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:12.320
<v Speaker 12>Oh? I got a couple of a couple of comments

897
00:43:12.360 --> 00:43:16.000
<v Speaker 12>on the Olympics. But as far as softball goes, there's

898
00:43:16.039 --> 00:43:18.679
<v Speaker 12>no stadiums in LA to support softball.

899
00:43:19.679 --> 00:43:21.400
<v Speaker 3>But there's college there's that.

900
00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:22.440
<v Speaker 4>You got, you got.

901
00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:26.519
<v Speaker 12>You can only see like eight hundred people at the

902
00:43:26.679 --> 00:43:30.519
<v Speaker 12>u c. L A Stadium. Looks like it's in a park.

903
00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:32.159
<v Speaker 12>It looks like it's in a city park.

904
00:43:33.280 --> 00:43:33.639
<v Speaker 3>It's not.

905
00:43:33.719 --> 00:43:36.559
<v Speaker 12>It's not as big as Rita Hillenbrand. The only place

906
00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:42.679
<v Speaker 12>that can support Olympic softball is Oklahoma City, and especially

907
00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:45.679
<v Speaker 12>the way that they've enlarged that that stadium to hold

908
00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:47.400
<v Speaker 12>as many people as they do.

909
00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:50.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, no, I think it's a smart move. But

910
00:43:50.360 --> 00:43:52.840
<v Speaker 3>I kind of agree with Jay in terms of everyone's

911
00:43:52.880 --> 00:43:54.519
<v Speaker 3>in LA, why not just they play there?

912
00:43:55.239 --> 00:43:57.480
<v Speaker 12>It's sad. I mean, it is sad that they're not

913
00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:04.000
<v Speaker 12>in LA like everybody else. And but then here's the

914
00:44:04.039 --> 00:44:06.760
<v Speaker 12>only I forget which Olympics it was. I think it

915
00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:11.639
<v Speaker 12>was in Atlanta and they had like river kayaking or something,

916
00:44:11.679 --> 00:44:13.360
<v Speaker 12>and it was like three hundred miles away.

917
00:44:13.599 --> 00:44:15.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. The other thing about that is that if if

918
00:44:16.320 --> 00:44:18.119
<v Speaker 4>let's say you're a spectator, right, you want to see

919
00:44:18.119 --> 00:44:20.960
<v Speaker 4>the softball and you want to see other sports, well

920
00:44:21.039 --> 00:44:22.679
<v Speaker 4>you got you Either you're either going to go see

921
00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:24.880
<v Speaker 4>softball or you're gonna go to l A. And so

922
00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:28.000
<v Speaker 4>that's the only thing about that is it I.

923
00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:31.519
<v Speaker 12>Did's tough unless they could find like a minor league

924
00:44:31.559 --> 00:44:36.599
<v Speaker 12>baseball stadium that they could convert for the Olympics, someplace

925
00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:38.760
<v Speaker 12>that can hold four or five thousand.

926
00:44:38.559 --> 00:44:40.679
<v Speaker 4>Well they did that. Where was that? Was it? Tokyo?

927
00:44:40.719 --> 00:44:44.159
<v Speaker 4>They had softball and they did that. They played you know,

928
00:44:44.199 --> 00:44:46.400
<v Speaker 4>they did the thing like you know where we used

929
00:44:46.440 --> 00:44:48.960
<v Speaker 4>to do when you know we played softball on a

930
00:44:48.840 --> 00:44:51.679
<v Speaker 4>on a on a baseball field. That's that's also not

931
00:44:51.800 --> 00:44:54.039
<v Speaker 4>good for the Olympics. You need you need a stadium.

932
00:44:54.039 --> 00:44:56.400
<v Speaker 4>I just don't know how big the USC and US

933
00:44:56.519 --> 00:44:58.559
<v Speaker 4>and and UCLA stadiums are.

934
00:44:58.719 --> 00:45:02.559
<v Speaker 12>Come on, come on, Jay, USC doesn't have softball.

935
00:45:03.679 --> 00:45:06.559
<v Speaker 4>Oh I love it. That's how much I know Dan Don,

936
00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:08.800
<v Speaker 4>That's how much I know there. So there you go.

937
00:45:09.159 --> 00:45:09.559
<v Speaker 3>All right.

938
00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:11.840
<v Speaker 4>I mean, we're not an idiot.

939
00:45:14.039 --> 00:45:18.199
<v Speaker 12>You could find you know, I'm sure there is the

940
00:45:18.280 --> 00:45:21.039
<v Speaker 12>minor league baseball park that they can convert. But then

941
00:45:21.079 --> 00:45:23.639
<v Speaker 12>you're gonna have to pay off that baseball team to

942
00:45:23.719 --> 00:45:25.920
<v Speaker 12>take their stadium for a while. Yeah, and then you're

943
00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:27.440
<v Speaker 12>gonna have to rebuild the whole field.

944
00:45:28.079 --> 00:45:31.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah all right, Well then that then that's the answer, right,

945
00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:33.800
<v Speaker 4>that's why they're doing it at.

946
00:45:33.920 --> 00:45:37.679
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, because there's no there's no other stadium like that

947
00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:40.519
<v Speaker 12>that can support the amount of people that are gonna

948
00:45:40.519 --> 00:45:40.880
<v Speaker 12>want to go.

949
00:45:41.119 --> 00:45:43.599
<v Speaker 3>Well here, here you go. It's a thirteen twenty eight

950
00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:46.039
<v Speaker 3>thirt thirteen hundred.

951
00:45:46.119 --> 00:45:50.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah that's not very big. Well yeah, I was just

952
00:45:50.119 --> 00:45:53.719
<v Speaker 4>looking that up too. Yeah that's not very big. Oh

953
00:45:54.320 --> 00:45:54.719
<v Speaker 4>they're like.

954
00:45:55.800 --> 00:45:58.119
<v Speaker 12>Nobody goes so it doesn't matter. It's not like they

955
00:45:58.159 --> 00:45:59.280
<v Speaker 12>pack it anyway.

956
00:45:59.079 --> 00:46:01.599
<v Speaker 3>Right, Which is strange because you were just saying, Jay,

957
00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:03.559
<v Speaker 3>they're one of the Juggernauts of the Ball.

958
00:46:03.639 --> 00:46:05.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they're one of the top programs in the country

959
00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:08.960
<v Speaker 4>and they have a thirteen hundred seat stadium. Come on, man,

960
00:46:08.679 --> 00:46:12.000
<v Speaker 4>They're as blue blood as you can get in softball.

961
00:46:12.079 --> 00:46:15.000
<v Speaker 12>And that's what they have because that's that's because that's

962
00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:15.519
<v Speaker 12>all they.

963
00:46:15.400 --> 00:46:18.119
<v Speaker 3>Need right right, because you know, look at football.

964
00:46:19.039 --> 00:46:21.840
<v Speaker 4>Two people they can play football at the at the

965
00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:23.239
<v Speaker 4>at the softball stadium.

966
00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:26.119
<v Speaker 3>They're all traffic.

967
00:46:26.320 --> 00:46:30.159
<v Speaker 12>I tell you, well, look what Look what's happened to

968
00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:32.800
<v Speaker 12>Arizona softball. They used to play in the corner of

969
00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:35.679
<v Speaker 12>the field over there, and you look at the old

970
00:46:35.719 --> 00:46:38.039
<v Speaker 12>pitchers when Kendrea first got here, and it was like

971
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:40.960
<v Speaker 12>a backstop. It was back in the middle of the field.

972
00:46:41.039 --> 00:46:44.079
<v Speaker 12>That's where they played. And then they and then they

973
00:46:44.119 --> 00:46:48.239
<v Speaker 12>grew the program and they built Rita and then they

974
00:46:48.280 --> 00:46:51.840
<v Speaker 12>added the left field bleachers. Yeah, I think they need

975
00:46:51.840 --> 00:46:54.079
<v Speaker 12>to put some bleachers on top of the building in

976
00:46:54.199 --> 00:46:57.079
<v Speaker 12>right field. But yeah, I mean that would be another thing.

977
00:46:57.239 --> 00:46:59.880
<v Speaker 4>I took a softball class that was taught on their

978
00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:01.880
<v Speaker 4>field and it was just it was like playing in

979
00:47:01.960 --> 00:47:06.920
<v Speaker 4>the park. You know, you the face Northwest, I remember

980
00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:12.679
<v Speaker 4>face regular bleachers, yess, And you know we had softball class. There.

981
00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:15.599
<v Speaker 3>Uh, you go into some pretty tough classes.

982
00:47:15.719 --> 00:47:19.639
<v Speaker 4>I did. I took a badminton class and look for

983
00:47:19.800 --> 00:47:23.760
<v Speaker 4>that got you exactly exactly.

984
00:47:23.960 --> 00:47:26.519
<v Speaker 12>Hey, I got a question for you guys. You guys

985
00:47:26.519 --> 00:47:29.880
<v Speaker 12>have talked to sports people from all over and everything.

986
00:47:30.159 --> 00:47:35.719
<v Speaker 12>We've had Olympians on the show. What is it about

987
00:47:35.760 --> 00:47:41.960
<v Speaker 12>the Olympics that these commentators always say, whall? You know,

988
00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:46.760
<v Speaker 12>it's it's the Olympics. I know the Olympics are big,

989
00:47:46.960 --> 00:47:49.840
<v Speaker 12>but some of these athletes have a very short window

990
00:47:50.559 --> 00:47:53.880
<v Speaker 12>to be at their best. So what is wrong with

991
00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:58.639
<v Speaker 12>the World Championships or something like that. I don't know,

992
00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:01.920
<v Speaker 12>not that there's anything wrong with that, but they make

993
00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:04.599
<v Speaker 12>the Olympics out to be such a big deal.

994
00:48:04.840 --> 00:48:05.639
<v Speaker 4>It's the history.

995
00:48:05.719 --> 00:48:07.599
<v Speaker 3>It's in the four year every four years and yeah,

996
00:48:07.639 --> 00:48:08.079
<v Speaker 3>and it's.

997
00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:10.679
<v Speaker 4>Only every four years, and the build up to it, right,

998
00:48:10.760 --> 00:48:13.159
<v Speaker 4>you know, some people don't get that window. Yeah, you

999
00:48:13.199 --> 00:48:15.039
<v Speaker 4>know some people who just their.

1000
00:48:15.239 --> 00:48:17.840
<v Speaker 12>Lives, people just miss that, they missed their peak by

1001
00:48:18.000 --> 00:48:19.199
<v Speaker 12>two years off.

1002
00:48:19.239 --> 00:48:21.679
<v Speaker 4>And it's like, you know, they they they you know,

1003
00:48:21.719 --> 00:48:24.800
<v Speaker 4>they set their lives on the course to get to

1004
00:48:24.840 --> 00:48:27.519
<v Speaker 4>the Olympics, and so you know, it's I feel like

1005
00:48:27.559 --> 00:48:30.000
<v Speaker 4>it's a it's a tremendous amount of pressure. And we

1006
00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:32.239
<v Speaker 4>were using the example of let's say you're one hundred

1007
00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:35.440
<v Speaker 4>meter freestyler and that's your only event and you and

1008
00:48:35.480 --> 00:48:37.719
<v Speaker 4>you come out and it's what takes you a minute

1009
00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:39.440
<v Speaker 4>to swim that or a minute and a half or

1010
00:48:39.440 --> 00:48:41.519
<v Speaker 4>whatever it is, and you go and you swim that

1011
00:48:41.679 --> 00:48:43.920
<v Speaker 4>in a heat, and then you don't make the next level,

1012
00:48:43.920 --> 00:48:46.039
<v Speaker 4>and that's it. For four years you've trained for that,

1013
00:48:46.079 --> 00:48:49.239
<v Speaker 4>and then it's over in a minute and change. However

1014
00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:51.800
<v Speaker 4>long it takes you swim one hundred meters, you go.

1015
00:48:53.239 --> 00:48:55.320
<v Speaker 4>I mean, the pressure of that is incredible.

1016
00:48:56.840 --> 00:48:59.159
<v Speaker 12>But here's a here's a good Olympics story. I was

1017
00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:02.519
<v Speaker 12>watching the other morning and it was it was ladies archery,

1018
00:49:04.159 --> 00:49:06.639
<v Speaker 12>and I thought this lady was wearing a fanny pack,

1019
00:49:07.360 --> 00:49:10.559
<v Speaker 12>but she wasn't. I don't know where she was from.

1020
00:49:10.599 --> 00:49:13.360
<v Speaker 12>I don't know what her name is. She had a

1021
00:49:13.360 --> 00:49:15.920
<v Speaker 12>little bucket hat, the back was flipped up. She had

1022
00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:18.840
<v Speaker 12>glasses on, and I thought she had like a pouch.

1023
00:49:19.280 --> 00:49:24.599
<v Speaker 12>And she's like six months pregnant. Wow, there's a little

1024
00:49:24.599 --> 00:49:25.599
<v Speaker 12>Olympian in there.

1025
00:49:27.719 --> 00:49:29.280
<v Speaker 4>That's too cool. I hadn't heard of that one.

1026
00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:33.920
<v Speaker 12>And he and he and that little kid and somebody

1027
00:49:33.920 --> 00:49:36.280
<v Speaker 12>better tell him and drill it into him. Dude, you're

1028
00:49:36.320 --> 00:49:37.000
<v Speaker 12>an Olympian.

1029
00:49:37.960 --> 00:49:39.360
<v Speaker 4>You were there, you were there.

1030
00:49:39.960 --> 00:49:44.920
<v Speaker 3>His name is Zeus, Yeah, he's That's what they got.

1031
00:49:45.159 --> 00:49:46.920
<v Speaker 12>Or if it's a girl, they could name her.

1032
00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:59.800
<v Speaker 4>Paris the professional state as always. That's pretty pregnant, lady

1033
00:49:59.800 --> 00:50:01.920
<v Speaker 4>in the you know, the Olympics, that's that's a crack up.

1034
00:50:02.440 --> 00:50:05.159
<v Speaker 4>Who would have thought? I mean, good, you know, I mean,

1035
00:50:05.199 --> 00:50:07.079
<v Speaker 4>I know, I look like I'm wearing a fanny pack.

1036
00:50:09.960 --> 00:50:11.639
<v Speaker 3>That shirt. Thank you.

1037
00:50:11.800 --> 00:50:16.679
<v Speaker 4>I appreciate this. My son thinks you could have got Okay.

1038
00:50:17.199 --> 00:50:19.440
<v Speaker 3>Okay, no cool. And we got maybe three minutes left.

1039
00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:21.199
<v Speaker 3>Do you want to give us a quick call? We

1040
00:50:21.239 --> 00:50:23.440
<v Speaker 3>could take it. If not, don't worry about it. We've

1041
00:50:23.440 --> 00:50:24.119
<v Speaker 3>got next hour.

1042
00:50:24.039 --> 00:50:27.400
<v Speaker 4>Getting and I mean, you know, to to Don's point,

1043
00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:29.679
<v Speaker 4>the you know, the Olympics are a big deal because

1044
00:50:29.679 --> 00:50:34.119
<v Speaker 4>they I think there I know from a TV standpoint

1045
00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:35.599
<v Speaker 4>and all that and all the money that goes into

1046
00:50:35.639 --> 00:50:38.599
<v Speaker 4>but in terms of I think the competitions, I feel

1047
00:50:38.639 --> 00:50:41.320
<v Speaker 4>like they were a bigger deal back when it was

1048
00:50:42.159 --> 00:50:45.719
<v Speaker 4>uh the amateurs, oh yeah right, and it was like

1049
00:50:46.320 --> 00:50:49.199
<v Speaker 4>you you felt more attached to them because you knew that.

1050
00:50:49.760 --> 00:50:51.639
<v Speaker 4>You know, they grew up. You know, now you've got

1051
00:50:51.719 --> 00:50:54.079
<v Speaker 4>Lebron on the court, You've got kd on the court,

1052
00:50:54.400 --> 00:50:56.440
<v Speaker 4>You've got all these professionals playing, and you know in

1053
00:50:56.519 --> 00:50:59.679
<v Speaker 4>all these sports. Back then you knew, you know, for

1054
00:50:59.719 --> 00:51:02.440
<v Speaker 4>the moment part this was it. You trained, you were

1055
00:51:02.440 --> 00:51:04.480
<v Speaker 4>in this one Olympics and then you were done.

1056
00:51:04.599 --> 00:51:10.400
<v Speaker 3>But it only happens, maybe it happens in other things, basketball, baseball, golf,

1057
00:51:11.079 --> 00:51:13.880
<v Speaker 3>what other sports that have have the pros of the

1058
00:51:13.880 --> 00:51:17.719
<v Speaker 3>pro hockey? You know, hockey, Okay, winter, I'm not a

1059
00:51:17.719 --> 00:51:19.400
<v Speaker 3>big winter guy. It's too cold.

1060
00:51:21.039 --> 00:51:24.440
<v Speaker 4>But you know, the you know, even the skaters and

1061
00:51:24.440 --> 00:51:27.480
<v Speaker 4>and even the gymnast uh Steve, I mean that, you know,

1062
00:51:27.840 --> 00:51:31.440
<v Speaker 4>I mean Simone Biles is by no means an amateur. Right,

1063
00:51:31.719 --> 00:51:34.199
<v Speaker 4>She's making a lot of money doing what she's doing.

1064
00:51:34.599 --> 00:51:37.000
<v Speaker 4>You know, good for her, but the point being that

1065
00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:41.159
<v Speaker 4>she's not an amateur. And and you know the tennis players, right,

1066
00:51:41.960 --> 00:51:44.559
<v Speaker 4>you know again, so it's it's it's it's a it's

1067
00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:47.519
<v Speaker 4>a festival of professional athletics, is what it is. Not

1068
00:51:47.840 --> 00:51:51.079
<v Speaker 4>for the kayakers and those you know, some of those sports,

1069
00:51:51.079 --> 00:51:53.440
<v Speaker 4>but you know, most of the sports these people are

1070
00:51:53.440 --> 00:51:56.079
<v Speaker 4>doing you're doing it for making money.

1071

1073
00:51:59.800 --> 00:52:01.679
<v Speaker 3>about when you were talking you were younger much right.

1074
00:52:02.440 --> 00:52:06.280
<v Speaker 3>As you get older, your sense of wow, your sense
