00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.759
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky Derby. He's even mad at me, though I'm not.

00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:56.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to be living with you for like a

18
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.799
<v Speaker 2>three days for the condurban, believing on the couch. Some

19
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:04.200
<v Speaker 2>get a nice couch. I got a hammocks even better.

20
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:06.799
<v Speaker 2>I can sleep on the It's just not too far

21
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.000
<v Speaker 2>from the from church, will gads please? Yeah? Yeah, no, cool,

22
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.599
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be a nice, nice little venture from two years.

23
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:16.799
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I should say much pat TV, I can say

24
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:21.920
<v Speaker 2>that TV. Yeah, oh boy. Behind the scenes, behind the scenes, okay, smart,

25
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm not there's a reason we're on. I'm on the radio. Okay, No,

26
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:29.519
<v Speaker 2>but let me too. Let me tell you David. David

27
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:33.040
<v Speaker 2>might or might or might not agree with me. That's

28
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:35.599
<v Speaker 2>the place to be. I mean, come on TV. In

29
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:38.239
<v Speaker 2>front of the camera's one thing. Behind the cameras good.

30
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:41.239
<v Speaker 4>Behind the camera, there's probably gonna be a million more

31
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:44.439
<v Speaker 4>opportunities to do things exactly. You know, a TV station

32
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.719
<v Speaker 4>has tons of people that you never see on the air,

33
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.200
<v Speaker 4>So there's a lot more jobs there. Maybe not the

34
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:54.200
<v Speaker 4>high paying jobs necessarily or the marquee jobs, but there's

35
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Speaker 4>certainly more of them.

36
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and with the ability to move up, yeah, for sure,

37
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.159
<v Speaker 2>to be you know, a decision maker. The best thing

38
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:01.959
<v Speaker 2>is just getting the door.

39
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:03.599
<v Speaker 4>You know, such a cliche, but if you can get

40
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.439
<v Speaker 4>that first job, it leads to probably a better second job,

41
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:08.639
<v Speaker 4>and who knows, you know where you're going from there.

42
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:12.039
<v Speaker 2>That's the goal. So good for you, Good for you.

43
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.879
<v Speaker 2>I guess when your spy job can let you talk

44
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:19.240
<v Speaker 2>next week maybe because you'll be gone, it should be

45
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:20.719
<v Speaker 2>next week. It should be next week. You this is

46
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.719
<v Speaker 2>your second last show, but it'll make you good like

47
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:26.759
<v Speaker 2>you're like your life depended on oh, like your job.

48
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:29.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm ready to put on a whole performance next week. Yes,

49
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:36.319
<v Speaker 2>don't screw my job at the end of the show.

50
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.199
<v Speaker 2>Not my goody two shoes guy. He would never do that.

51
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:42.759
<v Speaker 2>I would never mean nothing. Though there's some other people

52
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:44.319
<v Speaker 2>that might have been there. You'll drop the mic and

53
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:46.560
<v Speaker 2>say at this and that, like I almost we almost

54
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.439
<v Speaker 2>said a couple of times. No performance. I mean I'll

55
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.719
<v Speaker 2>probably sing or something or dance. That's fine, that's funny.

56
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:55.840
<v Speaker 2>We got the TV screens to karaoke there. Well, welcome

57
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:57.680
<v Speaker 2>to the show. A second show back this week after

58
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.319
<v Speaker 2>being out for a while. Uh, dave a lot of

59
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.280
<v Speaker 2>stuff going on. Yeah, it's kind of a busy week right.

60
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:05.879
<v Speaker 2>Summer is going to be a bee for me because

61
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:09.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm scrabbling for people and you know, everyone's busier. Gone.

62
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.319
<v Speaker 4>But that's when you can be creative, you know, maybe

63
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:18.960
<v Speaker 4>you can get Seriously, this is what we not our

64
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:21.639
<v Speaker 4>strategy in the summertime is we were doing more fun

65
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.000
<v Speaker 4>and interesting stories sometimes in the summer than we were

66
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:26.960
<v Speaker 4>during the typical school year. Okay, we can always go

67
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.759
<v Speaker 4>talk about the Wildcat football team, basketball and baseball and stuff.

68
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:31.560
<v Speaker 2>But once that ends, what are we gonna do for

69
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:35.240
<v Speaker 2>a couple of the routine ends. Yeah, that's what's crazy.

70
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.639
<v Speaker 2>One dude who's jumping jacks or whatever? You know exactly.

71
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:39.680
<v Speaker 2>You don't find that guy.

72
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:42.120
<v Speaker 4>That's why we need want to stick around and try

73
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.879
<v Speaker 4>to find those stories. But those are those were you know, challenging,

74
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:48.240
<v Speaker 4>but they were sometimes the most fun to do.

75
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.919
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, best stories. Yeah, the my story. So I'll

76
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.599
<v Speaker 2>be looking up for that tool. Today. We have Brian

77
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.560
<v Speaker 2>Peterson out in Oregon. He'll talk about tomorrow's game with

<v Speaker 5>One.

<v Speaker 2>They'll be probably in the middle of the game when

<v Speaker 2>we go on the air tomorrow. So he'll be on

83
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.680
<v Speaker 2>A three seventeen. And then at four seventeen, I got

84
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:13.960
<v Speaker 2>a guy who's been on the show before and he's

85
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 2>coming back. Lauren Woods is coming on the show at

86
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:21.399
<v Speaker 2>four seventeen. Many people may not know well, but he's

87
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:21.920
<v Speaker 2>an actor.

88
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:24.920
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I saw him on some show and I will

89
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:26.759
<v Speaker 4>have to talk about it. I need to look up

90
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.199
<v Speaker 4>his IMDb page see what he's been doing. But yeah,

91
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 4>there was something where he was like it was like

92
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.199
<v Speaker 4>obviously it was him. He was wearing some kind of

93
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:36.959
<v Speaker 4>a costume. He was wearing like a hood thing, but

94
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.600
<v Speaker 4>he was on, so good for him. I didn't know

95
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:41.279
<v Speaker 4>he was even branching off into something like that.

96
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:43.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, So I've seen him on on Instagram a lot.

97
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:45.839
<v Speaker 2>So I said, come back, come back, and I've been

98
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:47.800
<v Speaker 2>pressuring him and he finally said, Okay, I get some

99
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.959
<v Speaker 2>time today, so he'll come on. We'll talk about what

100
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:52.800
<v Speaker 2>he's up to, you know, back back in the day.

101
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:54.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you agree with me, but I've

102
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:57.160
<v Speaker 2>said this on the show a lot. Who's the best

103
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.000
<v Speaker 2>team in Arizona basketball or what's.

104
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:02.639
<v Speaker 4>The I mean, that was a great team that two

105
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:05.639
<v Speaker 4>thousand and one you're talking about that was I mean, yeah,

106
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:10.079
<v Speaker 4>Gilbert Walton, Richard Richard, Michael, Michael Wright, Lauren.

107
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:12.959
<v Speaker 2>Jason Gardner. I mean that was quite a teams. Still

108
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:14.920
<v Speaker 2>my best team in my mind, I know eighty eight.

109
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:17.439
<v Speaker 2>Everybody loves that team and it's fantastic. So it would

110
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.000
<v Speaker 2>go two thousand and one, eighty eight, ninety seven, ninety eight,

111
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:22.279
<v Speaker 2>ninety seven. Yeah, that was great.

112
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 4>I mean that was a really good team obviously, and

113
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.560
<v Speaker 4>they came so close and I don't know had what

114
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.560
<v Speaker 4>was it Gilbert ran into Zach Randolph's shoulder or vice

115
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:32.120
<v Speaker 4>VERTI yeah, the injury I forgot.

116
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:35.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he was he hit his clout, his middle mid section, yeah,

117
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:36.120
<v Speaker 2>and he heard.

118
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:38.839
<v Speaker 4>Show messed him up and Luke had an injury and yeah,

119
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:41.160
<v Speaker 4>So I mean that had things all just at the

120
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:43.279
<v Speaker 4>very last moment. It kind of cost them, you know,

121
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:44.959
<v Speaker 4>maybe a chance to go over the sure and then

122
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:49.160
<v Speaker 4>maybe a call or two. Yeah that too, caller too

123
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:50.319
<v Speaker 4>at half court too.

124
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.600
<v Speaker 2>But to me, it's the best team, best team again,

125
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:58.199
<v Speaker 2>like an eighty eight was fantastic, ninety eight was fantastic. Uh,

126
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:00.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, two thousand and three was the first time

127
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:03.759
<v Speaker 2>they were the longest time they were. They spent that

128
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.560
<v Speaker 2>number one in the history of the program. Is that right?

129
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:09.439
<v Speaker 2>They three three teams, So that was a Luke Walton

130
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:14.560
<v Speaker 2>team with with Andre Hassan and sim that team another

131
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:16.720
<v Speaker 2>good one, but but just kind of got beat by

132
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Kansas in that sweet sixteen. Yeah, yeah, so okay, we'll

133
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:24.680
<v Speaker 2>talk all about that stuff for Lauren because he's had

134
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:27.160
<v Speaker 2>he had a pretty nice career here after transferring from

135
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:28.439
<v Speaker 2>Wake Forest. That's right.

136
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:30.759
<v Speaker 4>It was from Wake Forest, wasn't he kind of right

137
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.839
<v Speaker 4>after Tim dunk Or he played with.

138
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:36.079
<v Speaker 2>And that was one of the reasons why he left.

139
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:39.560
<v Speaker 2>There was some pressure to do what he did. Yeah,

140
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:42.600
<v Speaker 2>he's he was supposed to take over after Duncan left

141
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.720
<v Speaker 2>and then transferred to the u A. Right, that's when

142
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:47.480
<v Speaker 2>they set out to remember they had to sit out

143
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.600
<v Speaker 2>actually a good old days with basketball.

144
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:52.560
<v Speaker 4>When you had to rest or had to sit sit

145
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:54.319
<v Speaker 4>up that one red shirt year whatever they call it,

146
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:58.399
<v Speaker 4>or transfer transfer year. It's hard to believe that basketball

147
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.160
<v Speaker 4>really kind of was like that word.

148
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:00.639
<v Speaker 2>It was like that.

149
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:02.759
<v Speaker 4>I mean even going way way back to when you know,

150
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:04.160
<v Speaker 4>freshmen were.

151
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Pretty that's when you were probably just a kid that

152
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:06.959
<v Speaker 2>I was.

153
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:08.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean I kind of sort of you know,

154
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.519
<v Speaker 4>in my mind, like three we could see like those

155
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:13.600
<v Speaker 4>U c l A teams and like Walton and al

156
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:15.720
<v Speaker 4>Sinder just played three years because they didn't get to

157
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:16.680
<v Speaker 4>play their freshman years.

158
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, were older. You in seventy two is seventy three.

159
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.360
<v Speaker 4>I was like early high school. Okay, okay, so I

160
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:25.759
<v Speaker 4>kind of remember I remember Walton.

161
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:28.319
<v Speaker 2>So we asked this yesterday. I don't know if people

162
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.199
<v Speaker 2>could still call in. Uh even Jesse, who has his

163
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:35.360
<v Speaker 2>smart as remarks about who you got his is? Uh

164

165
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:44.439
<v Speaker 2>So I still have them?

166
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:44.879
<v Speaker 6>Uh?

167
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:49.519
<v Speaker 2>I got Hank Aaron? Oh really? On what on a program?

168
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Cool that I got? Cool? That's a good one. I got.

169
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:52.399
<v Speaker 7>So.

170
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:54.680
<v Speaker 4>I'm my dad and I we would go to a

171
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.519
<v Speaker 4>lot of games in Oakland when the Warriors were We're

172
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:00.399
<v Speaker 4>there and their heyday, and I mean I got Jerry West,

173
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:01.680
<v Speaker 4>I got, I got.

174
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Wilt, I got and you would get you would get.

175
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.560
<v Speaker 4>That, I would get them. They would just come walking

176
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.560
<v Speaker 4>out of the locker room heading to the bus. So

177
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:09.319
<v Speaker 4>you were allowed to stand there, believe it or not.

178
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.240
<v Speaker 4>So your dad would say, hey, do this for my kid. No, no, no, no,

179
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:15.639
<v Speaker 4>you would you would push me towards at the end

180
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:15.959
<v Speaker 4>of the game.

181
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:17.240
<v Speaker 2>You would kind of go there. Yeah, that was a

182
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:18.319
<v Speaker 2>great experience we had.

183
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.519
<v Speaker 4>I mean I had basketball, we had hockey, but yeah,

184
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.519
<v Speaker 4>I mean Jerry West, I think I definitely got Wilt

185
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:28.279
<v Speaker 4>that group Gail Goodrich.

186
00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:31.639
<v Speaker 2>Uh, you know all the Warriors, Rick Berry and Nate Thurman.

187
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Do you still have the stuff? Still have them? Well? Cool? Yeah,

188
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:37.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Your mom did away.

189
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:39.000
<v Speaker 4>And she saved my baseball cards, so I have all

190
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.039
<v Speaker 4>this stuff. No idea what I would ever do with him.

191
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:42.960
<v Speaker 4>You got a good mom, because most of our moms,

192
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.480
<v Speaker 4>What the hell is this? One day in Tucson, many

193
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:48.240
<v Speaker 4>years after I was out of our house, so all

194
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:50.000
<v Speaker 4>of a sudden, this box shows up and says.

195
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Make sure I got these two very nice. So I

196
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:55.039
<v Speaker 2>still have a lot of stuff. Yeah, I was good.

197
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:57.639
<v Speaker 2>You were got to get together with my boy George

198
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.279
<v Speaker 2>and see is this worth it? I don't know.

199
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.679
<v Speaker 4>I've you know, I used to kind of look at

200
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:05.879
<v Speaker 4>the old magazines. What was it Beckett's I think it

201
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:07.600
<v Speaker 4>was the baseball card one and he's look and see,

202
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.159
<v Speaker 4>oh I've got that card and it was worth, you know,

203
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.720
<v Speaker 4>twenty five dollars or this is worth twenty five cents.

204
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:13.840
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know. I've got a lot. Yeah, but

205
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:16.080
<v Speaker 2>those those are prime. I have some. I sold my

206
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:21.440
<v Speaker 2>baseball cards in my senior year in high school to someone. Yeah,

207
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:24.679
<v Speaker 2>one hundred dollars back then to me, it was like fantastic. Yeah,

208
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:26.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure I would go there.

209
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.399
<v Speaker 4>Used to be baseball card shows if people remember, like

210
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.120
<v Speaker 4>Foothills Mall used to have short card shows every you know,

211
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:33.159
<v Speaker 4>a few times a year myself and I just go

212
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:34.840
<v Speaker 4>wandering in there just hey, wait a minute, I get

213
00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:36.519
<v Speaker 4>that card and maybe, you know, just to kind of

214
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:37.840
<v Speaker 4>out of curiosity.

215
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:39.679
<v Speaker 2>Howard calls in him out again. He says, I bet

216
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:41.919
<v Speaker 2>you this guy, what Howard? What did I meet you?

217
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:45.200
<v Speaker 2>But use that those events? Really use a card guy? Yeah?

218
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I never other than just kind of having them.

219
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:49.879
<v Speaker 4>I never like thought about what am I going to do?

220
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:52.120
<v Speaker 4>And people have urged me to like, well maybe you know,

221
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.240
<v Speaker 4>just check because many of them are you know, could

222
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:54.919
<v Speaker 4>be worth something.

223
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:57.080
<v Speaker 2>I was assuming, sure, no, but I think they're more

224
00:09:57.639 --> 00:09:59.840
<v Speaker 2>like I said yesterday, they are more there, worth more

225
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.080
<v Speaker 2>of me. Then to sell them to somebody, does that

226
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:05.159
<v Speaker 2>make sense? Because you have them there? To me, I'm

227
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.120
<v Speaker 2>excited for you just because you have them, and I

228
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.879
<v Speaker 2>don't know how you display them, but to me, that'd

229
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:10.240
<v Speaker 2>be cool.

230
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:12.279
<v Speaker 4>I don't I don't want to really give up my

231
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:15.279
<v Speaker 4>Henry areon autograph. No, I mean it's pretty cool I mean,

232

00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:12.799
<v Speaker 5>about the players in the back of the cards and stuff.

272
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:15.840
<v Speaker 4>That was that was an art in itself, the way

273
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:19.720
<v Speaker 4>they would they would summarize their careers in four four lines.

274
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:22.879
<v Speaker 2>Sure didn't have a little cartoon in the state.

275
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:26.639
<v Speaker 3>Also too is now I mean there's so many different.

276
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:29.399
<v Speaker 5>Card companies, you know, compare compared to what it used

277
00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:32.639
<v Speaker 5>to be. Basically it was just tops, yeah, you know,

278
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:35.080
<v Speaker 5>and and the cool thing got you got the piece

279
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.440
<v Speaker 5>of gum that was at that time was the size of.

280
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.639
<v Speaker 2>The card, right, and the hard is the card?

281
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:41.600
<v Speaker 3>Yes it was.

282
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:45.519
<v Speaker 5>It didn't matter, you know. You got that gum and

283
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:47.000
<v Speaker 5>you chewed that thing, and you.

284
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:49.039
<v Speaker 2>Know forever, I know, you have to clean the cards

285
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:52.240
<v Speaker 2>from the powder. Sometimes I don't know, because you're ten,

286
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:55.200
<v Speaker 2>twelve years old, even younger than that. When you drove

287
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:56.639
<v Speaker 2>your bike, where did you put the card?

288
00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:57.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh? Yeah, I.

289
00:12:59.120 --> 00:12:59.360
<v Speaker 2>Can't.

290
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:03.000
<v Speaker 5>I don't put when I put the cards in the spokes?

291
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:05.000
<v Speaker 5>How many decent cards I got rid of?

292
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Right exactly, because you don't know any better. And then

293
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:11.080
<v Speaker 2>you realize, oh, my mink carry's gone right now.

294
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:14.000
<v Speaker 4>My my mistake I made was I wrote on a

295
00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:18.159
<v Speaker 4>few of them as they were retiring or getting traded. Yeah,

296
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:19.799
<v Speaker 4>and I look at him, you know, twenty years later,

297
00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:20.799
<v Speaker 4>I go, what did I do?

298
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:21.559
<v Speaker 8>You know?

299
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:24.039

00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:36.839
<v Speaker 8>or two before when the Pac Ten did their women's

450
00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:39.519
<v Speaker 8>basketball tournament there. There's a great experience, just such a

451
00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:41.799
<v Speaker 8>weird thing with having it so straight up. It felt

452
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:44.559
<v Speaker 8>like you were watching basketball in like a theater.

453
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:47.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, no question. I think Jones who was the

454
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:50.839
<v Speaker 2>coach it was, did he Ken't?

455
00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:53.519
<v Speaker 8>Oh no, it was Ernie Kent. It was Ernie Kent there.

456
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:53.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

457
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:56.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was back in the day when everyone thought,

458
00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:59.480
<v Speaker 2>or at least in Oregon thought, oh they're gonna catch Arizona.

459
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:02.079
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna cat Arizona in terms of prestige, and there

460
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:06.599
<v Speaker 2>was like, get off, get off my lawn. Whatever. Hey, well,

461
00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:09.160
<v Speaker 2>now you're either there for baseball. What's the scene like,

462
00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:10.559
<v Speaker 2>it's a day before.

463
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:12.039
<v Speaker 3>Good?

464
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:14.519
<v Speaker 8>Pretty good. It was a little cloudy and drizzly this

465
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:18.000
<v Speaker 8>morning when Arizona was practicing, but it's supposed to be

466
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:20.200
<v Speaker 8>really nice weather for the rest of the week here

467
00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:24.880
<v Speaker 8>seventies eighties, No storms like there are at so many

468
00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:27.319
<v Speaker 8>of the other regionals in college baseball, which are all

469
00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:31.599
<v Speaker 8>centator in the Southeast. Arizona dealt with weather the last

470
00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:35.319
<v Speaker 8>two times they traveled, Coral Gables in twenty two and

471
00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:38.839
<v Speaker 8>Fayetteville in twenty three had tons of weather delays. So

472
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:41.559
<v Speaker 8>that alone makes this a better trip than those other ones.

473
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:44.960
<v Speaker 4>Plus there's some familiarity with the stadium, and I guess

474
00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:46.920
<v Speaker 4>that's going to help.

475
00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:49.920
<v Speaker 3>I would, yeah, they well, yeah, I mean because of

476
00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:50.799
<v Speaker 3>the connection.

477
00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:55.160
<v Speaker 8>With the Pac twelve. Arizona played here last season, lost

478
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:59.640
<v Speaker 8>to A three, but almost everybody in their starting lineup

479
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:01.720
<v Speaker 8>has played here, and a couple of them have been

480
00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:04.759
<v Speaker 8>here twice because the seniors were here as freshman in

481
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:08.440
<v Speaker 8>twenty two, So that definitely gives them an advantage against

482
00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:11.759
<v Speaker 8>cal Polly and if they play them Utah Valley because

483
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:15.119
<v Speaker 8>they've already seen what it's like. And you can even

484
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:17.400
<v Speaker 8>see an example of how that worked during the season.

485
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:21.359
<v Speaker 8>Arizona began the year at Globe Life Field in Arlington

486
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:24.359
<v Speaker 8>for a tournament, went oh To three three months later,

487
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:26.559
<v Speaker 8>come back for the Big twelve tournament and win all

488
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:29.880
<v Speaker 8>three games and just being a little bit more acclimated

489
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:33.000
<v Speaker 8>for how everything works there, it can only help you.

490
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:37.400
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to say, Oh God, what I want to say?

491
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:40.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh I saw something. I guess it's accurate from the

492
00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:44.680
<v Speaker 2>line from yesterday. Playing these guys, it's even money. I'm

493
00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:46.960
<v Speaker 2>assuming that the San Luis they're going to throw their

494
00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:50.359
<v Speaker 2>ace and Arizona'll throw let's ace. But he must be

495
00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:53.640
<v Speaker 2>pretty good. Yeah, his name.

496
00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:57.640
<v Speaker 8>Is Griffin As he's a right handed sophomore. I think

497
00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:00.400
<v Speaker 8>he's seven and two on the season, an era in

498
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:04.519
<v Speaker 8>the mid threes. He's not a flame thrower. He's more

499
00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:07.720
<v Speaker 8>a guy uses a lot of his change up and

500
00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:12.720
<v Speaker 8>Arizona has had some vulnerabilities to off speed pitches and

501
00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:16.759
<v Speaker 8>breaking balls, mostly from left handers, but they just have

502
00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:20.200
<v Speaker 8>to be disciplined and not go chasing after those balls

503
00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:22.960
<v Speaker 8>that start down in the zone because change up's just

504
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:24.640
<v Speaker 8>going to keep dropping. They need to be going after

505
00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:28.240
<v Speaker 8>the high balls. They're playing in a park aside from

506
00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:32.160
<v Speaker 8>the fact that they're familiar with it, it's small, especially compared

507
00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:34.000
<v Speaker 8>to High Corbett, which is one of the biggest in

508
00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:38.720
<v Speaker 8>the country. So their ability to know that they don't

509
00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:40.079
<v Speaker 8>have to rely on the home run, but they can

510
00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:42.400
<v Speaker 8>play in a place where they can hit home runs

511
00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:45.319
<v Speaker 8>because of how small it is, could hopefully work in

512
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:47.519
<v Speaker 8>their favor. And I don't think cal Poly is a

513
00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:50.480
<v Speaker 8>big power team. They're more of a like a small

514
00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:53.240
<v Speaker 8>ball West Coast team, so they're probably going to bunt

515
00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:56.200
<v Speaker 8>a lot, try to steal some bases. I think seventy

516
00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:59.160
<v Speaker 8>percent of their hits are singles, so it'll be a

517
00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:03.000
<v Speaker 8>scrappy game. Team won forty one games, and they weren't

518
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:06.079
<v Speaker 8>just beating up, you know, weak teams in their conference.

519
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:07.440
<v Speaker 8>They were beating up good teams all of it.

520
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:10.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they have pretty good RPI is twenty nine, which

521
00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:12.680
<v Speaker 4>you know, coming out of a Big West is pretty impressive.

522
00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:16.799
<v Speaker 8>I would think, yeah, had they not won the Big

523
00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:20.440
<v Speaker 8>West Tournament, title. They may have gotten in as an

524
00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:23.359
<v Speaker 8>at large, or they may have been like a big

525
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:26.759
<v Speaker 8>snub because of where their RPI would have been. But

526
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:30.400
<v Speaker 8>the Big West Conference generally has a couple really strong teams.

527
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:33.720
<v Speaker 8>This year it's them and you see Irvine. Last year

528
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:37.880
<v Speaker 8>you see Santa Barbara hosted the regional. So it's a

529
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:41.160
<v Speaker 8>style of baseball that does well. It's just now you

530
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:44.400
<v Speaker 8>get into these tournaments where you're facing teams you haven't

531
00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:47.960
<v Speaker 8>seen and you don't have that luxury of, oh, well,

532
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:49.680
<v Speaker 8>there's still going to be two more games for the rest.

533
00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Of the weekend.

534
00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:52.680
<v Speaker 8>Let's just win two out of the three. Once you

535
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:54.920
<v Speaker 8>lose one game in a regional, now you're behind the

536
00:24:54.920 --> 00:24:58.079
<v Speaker 8>eight ball and you can't lose again. So the first

537
00:24:58.079 --> 00:25:01.559
<v Speaker 8>game is very, very critical, and Arizona has had trouble

538
00:25:01.559 --> 00:25:04.440
<v Speaker 8>in the first games of weekends. I think during PAC

539
00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:07.680
<v Speaker 8>twelve play they went four and six in the opening game,

540
00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:10.640
<v Speaker 8>but those again were situations where they knew they would

541
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:13.359
<v Speaker 8>be playing two more games after that different mindset.

542
00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:14.960
<v Speaker 2>We kind of saw that with softball.

543
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:16.799
<v Speaker 4>I guess it wasn't the first game, but losing that

544
00:25:16.839 --> 00:25:21.000
<v Speaker 4>even the second game put them behind the having to

545
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:24.279
<v Speaker 4>fight their way through a longer weekend. How about Mark Wazakowski.

546
00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:27.519
<v Speaker 4>He's done quite well at Oregon after coming over from

547
00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:30.359
<v Speaker 4>Arizona being an assistant for Andy Lopez two hundred wins.

548
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:32.279
<v Speaker 2>I kind of forgot he was there.

549
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:36.920
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, Well, he had left after the twenty eleventh season

550
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:38.880
<v Speaker 8>to come to Oregon to be an assistant coach, and

551
00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:40.799
<v Speaker 8>he was here for four or five years. Then he

552
00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:43.400
<v Speaker 8>got his first head coaching job at Purdue and was

553
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:45.400
<v Speaker 8>there a couple of years, got them into the tournament,

554
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:48.480
<v Speaker 8>and when the Oregon job opened, he went back there

555
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:49.519
<v Speaker 8>and I think he's been.

556
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:52.839
<v Speaker 3>There since twenty twenty.

557
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:54.680
<v Speaker 8>Somewhere about it, or maybe a little bit before that.

558
00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:57.519
<v Speaker 8>But yeah, he got over two hundred wins this year,

559
00:25:58.160 --> 00:26:01.799
<v Speaker 8>the last year and the year before they made Super Regionals,

560
00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:05.920
<v Speaker 8>and he's definitely established himself a program here. And this

561
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:09.119
<v Speaker 8>year the Ducks have one hundred and seven home runs,

562
00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:11.680
<v Speaker 8>which is a school record. It does help they're playing

563
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:13.920
<v Speaker 8>in a smaller park, but they do have dudes who

564
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:16.880
<v Speaker 8>can send it out of the park. Mason Neville, who

565
00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:22.039
<v Speaker 8>ironically was committed to Arizona before Jay Johnson went to LSU,

566
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:24.039
<v Speaker 8>and he could be in his junior year at the

567
00:26:24.119 --> 00:26:25.839
<v Speaker 8>u of A had things gone differently.

568
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:29.039
<v Speaker 3>He leads the nation with twenty six home.

569
00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:31.319
<v Speaker 8>Runs and he's their center fielder and nineteen of those

570
00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:33.599
<v Speaker 8>who come in this park, so he's one of the

571
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:34.240
<v Speaker 8>guys they.

572
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:36.640
<v Speaker 3>Have to keep in the park if they face.

573
00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:39.279
<v Speaker 8>Oregon, and I would imagine at some point in this

574
00:26:39.319 --> 00:26:42.160
<v Speaker 8>tournament they're going to play Orgon And there's another guy

575
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:44.880
<v Speaker 8>on the Ducks, Jacob Walsh, their first baseman. He's a

576
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:48.599
<v Speaker 8>senior and he has terrorized Arizona in the past two

577
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:51.400
<v Speaker 8>years ago, I think he hit four or five home

578
00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:55.200
<v Speaker 8>runs in four games against the Wildcats. So he's another

579
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:58.359
<v Speaker 8>one that they have to worry about. And Oregon Scott

580
00:26:58.519 --> 00:27:01.079
<v Speaker 8>a very strong overall pitch staff. They've got a very

581
00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:03.960
<v Speaker 8>good left handed pitcher named Grayson Grinzel who would probably

582
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:08.119
<v Speaker 8>throw against Arizona if they meet up tomorrow or excuse me,

583
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:09.559
<v Speaker 8>if they meet up Saturday in the.

584
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:11.559
<v Speaker 2>Late game.

585
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:14.920
<v Speaker 8>So definitely gonna be tough ones. The only team here

586
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:18.480
<v Speaker 8>that I don't think is particularly great would be Utah Valley.

587
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:21.440
<v Speaker 8>They have a twenty eight and twenty seven record, had

588
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:24.079
<v Speaker 8>to win four straight games in their conference tournament to

589
00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:26.640
<v Speaker 8>get here, and had lost ten of eleven before that,

590
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:29.720
<v Speaker 8>But again it's the inns of a tournament, and Arizona's

591
00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:31.440
<v Speaker 8>gone oh and to the last two years with a

592
00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:34.559
<v Speaker 8>loss to the number four seed to get in each

593
00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:36.599
<v Speaker 8>of those, So there's no guarantee.

594
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:39.240
<v Speaker 2>So how do you grade or what do you think

595
00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:41.920
<v Speaker 2>about the job that Chip has done. He kind of

596
00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:44.480
<v Speaker 2>falls into these petters, does really well, really well, kind

597
00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:46.000
<v Speaker 2>of have a lull, and then he catches the fire

598
00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:46.480
<v Speaker 2>at the end.

599
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:52.119
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I mean the during the season ups and downs.

600
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:55.640
<v Speaker 8>I think that's just something that comes with a long season.

601
00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:59.599
<v Speaker 8>Even in twenty one, when j Johnson's last year they

602
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:01.759
<v Speaker 8>went to the World Series, they had a stretch in

603
00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:03.920
<v Speaker 8>the middle of the year where they fell into a

604
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:06.440
<v Speaker 8>rut to the point they lost a game at Washington

605
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:09.920
<v Speaker 8>State where I feel like they gave up like twenty

606
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:14.079
<v Speaker 8>or twenty one runs and it just this didn't look

607
00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:15.759
<v Speaker 8>like a team that was going in the right direction.

608
00:28:16.319 --> 00:28:18.960
<v Speaker 8>And then they got hot after that and made it

609
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:21.640
<v Speaker 8>all the way to Omaha and then go oh into

610
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:25.119
<v Speaker 8>in the College World Series. And any team can do that,

611
00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:26.480
<v Speaker 8>and there's going to be one or two of those

612
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:29.400
<v Speaker 8>that do that each year. But I think overall, Hale

613
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:32.079
<v Speaker 8>has done a very good job here. He's gotten to

614
00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:36.839
<v Speaker 8>the tournament every year, no coach since Frank Stancett had

615
00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:40.000
<v Speaker 8>gone four straight years. He just hasn't gotten to the

616
00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:43.079
<v Speaker 8>next step. And that's really where it comes down to,

617
00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:45.960
<v Speaker 8>is at least getting to the Super regionals. J Johnson

618
00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:48.880
<v Speaker 8>made the World Series in his first year, Andy Lopez

619
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:51.680
<v Speaker 8>in his third year, and Jerry Kendall in his fourth

620
00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:54.279
<v Speaker 8>year or maybe the other two, or maybe Andy was

621
00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:56.640
<v Speaker 8>his fourth and Jerry was his third, I don't remember exactly,

622
00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:01.559
<v Speaker 8>but they all did something significant in the first four years.

623
00:29:01.599 --> 00:29:04.359
<v Speaker 8>And college baseball, maybe more than any other college sport,

624
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:07.720
<v Speaker 8>does have a big cyclical nature to it since a

625
00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:10.319
<v Speaker 8>lot of the best players once they get into college,

626
00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:13.200
<v Speaker 8>they get drafted after their junior year. So every three

627
00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:15.400
<v Speaker 8>or four years you can have that one really good

628
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:17.640
<v Speaker 8>team and then there's probably going to be a drop

629
00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:20.480
<v Speaker 8>off because you lose a large class. That's what Arizona

630
00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:23.279
<v Speaker 8>is facing here. Eight of their nine guys in their

631
00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:26.640
<v Speaker 8>starting lineup may either are either going to graduate or

632
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:29.200
<v Speaker 8>could get drafted, and you have to replace a lot

633
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:32.119
<v Speaker 8>of that. So the players know this and the coaches

634
00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:34.359
<v Speaker 8>know this that like this, there is no tomorrow so

635
00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:36.799
<v Speaker 8>if there's a team that's going to be able to

636
00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:38.000
<v Speaker 8>get past the first weekend at.

637
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:43.119
<v Speaker 4>This Mason White was a story in Texas last week.

638
00:29:43.160 --> 00:29:46.559
<v Speaker 4>You think he continued to hit this way for another

639
00:29:46.599 --> 00:29:47.160
<v Speaker 4>couple of weeks.

640
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:52.160
<v Speaker 8>Well, he has played if you include conference tournaments and

641
00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:57.920
<v Speaker 8>NCAA tournaments, he has played I want to say, fifteen

642
00:29:58.720 --> 00:30:01.119
<v Speaker 8>postseason games in his career. He has at least a

643
00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:05.480
<v Speaker 8>hit in every single game. He homered in both games

644
00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:10.480
<v Speaker 8>of the regional as a freshman. He hit three home

645
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:12.799
<v Speaker 8>runs last week in the Bigsball tournament. He's won two

646
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:16.880
<v Speaker 8>conference tournament MVPs. It seems like he rises the city

647
00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:20.640
<v Speaker 8>occasion in these games, the winner go home kind of situation.

648
00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:24.319
<v Speaker 8>But they need more than just one guy who's doing it.

649
00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:28.559
<v Speaker 8>Their number two hitter, Aaron Walton, was probably their best

650
00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:32.200
<v Speaker 8>overall hitter for the season until the last three weeks,

651
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:35.519
<v Speaker 8>and he's been in a big hole. If he can

652
00:30:35.640 --> 00:30:37.839
<v Speaker 8>just get a little bit of what he has back,

653
00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:41.359
<v Speaker 8>that definitely would change things. And if Brendan summer Hill

654
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:43.119
<v Speaker 8>is getting on base at the top of the order,

655
00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:46.559
<v Speaker 8>it just sets the table for everything. He's not hitting

656
00:30:46.599 --> 00:30:48.400
<v Speaker 8>for the kind of power that you would hope for

657
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:51.720
<v Speaker 8>coming back from his injuries. But he's getting on base,

658
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:55.480
<v Speaker 8>he's drawing walks, he has a great eye, and Arizon

659
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:58.200
<v Speaker 8>needs to score early to set the tone. This is

660
00:30:58.240 --> 00:31:01.839
<v Speaker 8>a team that I think they're something like thirty or

661
00:31:01.880 --> 00:31:04.119
<v Speaker 8>thirty one in oh when leading in the seventh inning

662
00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:07.160
<v Speaker 8>or later, and it's just a matter of they have

663
00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:09.400
<v Speaker 8>to get to that lead early and hold on to

664
00:31:09.519 --> 00:31:12.000
<v Speaker 8>it in those middle innings. They're not really a team

665
00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:15.599
<v Speaker 8>that makes big comebacks. They won the Big Twelve Final

666
00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:18.240
<v Speaker 8>when they were down one nothing, but if they fall

667
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:20.640
<v Speaker 8>behind a couple runs, I don't know if the team

668
00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:22.640
<v Speaker 8>is necessarily built to make that comeback.

669
00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:25.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm naive to this, Brian, and you covered it for

670
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:28.480
<v Speaker 2>a long time now in Grain. In the baseball situation,

671
00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:30.960
<v Speaker 2>someotball we know that, you know, if they don't get

672
00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:32.599
<v Speaker 2>to the World Series, there's a lot of complaints, Well,

673
00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:34.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, Caman can't do it, blah blah blah, even

674
00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:37.599
<v Speaker 2>though she's had a great a great year and a

675
00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:41.599
<v Speaker 2>nice little four year stretch. Is this pressure or whatever

676
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:44.000
<v Speaker 2>word you want to use. The same for Chip if

677
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:47.200
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't get to the Omaha to the series.

678
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:50.680
<v Speaker 8>Not this early because.

679
00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:53.680
<v Speaker 3>He's not following yes, j Johnson.

680
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:57.039
<v Speaker 8>Got there twice in six years, but it's it's not

681
00:31:57.240 --> 00:32:00.599
<v Speaker 8>the same. Arizona has won four national titles and they've

682
00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:02.920
<v Speaker 8>made the World Series eighteen times, and both of those

683
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:05.400
<v Speaker 8>are among the top ten in it, but they're not

684
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:09.079
<v Speaker 8>like softball, where they are one of the three or

685
00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:12.960
<v Speaker 8>four biggest names, and it's it's not the same coach

686
00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:17.640
<v Speaker 8>who did all of that. Like in softball, if you know, like.

687
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:18.039
<v Speaker 3>This is.

688
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:22.440
<v Speaker 8>If Chip were doing this stuff right after Jerry Stitt,

689
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:25.400
<v Speaker 8>or excuse me, right after Jerry Kendall, like if he

690
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:29.000
<v Speaker 8>was in the Jerry Stitt era in the late nineties, then.

691
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:30.839
<v Speaker 3>It would be the pressure you need to do more,

692
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:31.759
<v Speaker 3>which is why Jerry.

693
00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:33.799
<v Speaker 8>Stick didn't last very long because Jerry Kendall had been

694
00:32:33.839 --> 00:32:35.079
<v Speaker 8>so successful.

695
00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:37.480
<v Speaker 3>For so long and it's hard to come after that

696
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:38.039
<v Speaker 3>first person.

697
00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:41.240
<v Speaker 8>We saw that with men's basketball, doesn't matter what Sean

698
00:32:41.319 --> 00:32:44.119
<v Speaker 8>Miller did. If he doesn't get to final fours and

699
00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:47.400
<v Speaker 8>win a title, he is not successful because he didn't

700
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:50.079
<v Speaker 8>do what Luke did. Chip's not in that same boat.

701
00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:52.119
<v Speaker 8>Caitlin Lowe is with softball.

702
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:55.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, she's following in the legend, so kind of hard

703
00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:55.880
<v Speaker 4>to live up to that.

704
00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:59.640
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes it is, but it's also unfair to.

705
00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:04.440
<v Speaker 8>Compare apples to oranges in that respect, because yes, Ca

706
00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:06.839
<v Speaker 8>Andrea had all that success, but he wasn't.

707
00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:09.000
<v Speaker 3>Like super star success right away.

708
00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Same with Luke.

709
00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:11.880
<v Speaker 8>Luke took a couple of years before he finally got

710
00:33:11.880 --> 00:33:14.799
<v Speaker 8>things established and then hit his stride, So that needs

711
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:15.839
<v Speaker 8>to be taken with a grain of sap.

712
00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:17.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, I have a good time. I know you're with

713
00:33:18.119 --> 00:33:20.319
<v Speaker 2>Michael lev I know he's not me as a roommate,

714
00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:25.200
<v Speaker 2>so oh good luck. I should we tell him?

715
00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:32.240
<v Speaker 8>Well, yeah, because he does yoga in the morning. I

716
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:34.359
<v Speaker 8>never saw you. Yeah, I don't. I think if you

717
00:33:34.519 --> 00:33:36.200
<v Speaker 8>stretched it was because you slipped.

718
00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:40.839
<v Speaker 2>I would never I can't even spell yoga, you know. Yeah,

719
00:33:40.839 --> 00:33:43.319
<v Speaker 2>I'll get it. At ten, I'm getting and turn off

720
00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:45.440
<v Speaker 2>the turn off the curtains, get up, you know whatever,

721
00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:47.240
<v Speaker 2>pose those damn curtains.

722
00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:50.319
<v Speaker 8>Well, you would love where we're staying. We're actually staying

723
00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:53.160
<v Speaker 8>in these apartments right across the street from the baseball

724
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:58.279
<v Speaker 8>stadium that is basically student housing, off campus housing, and

725
00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:00.720
<v Speaker 8>it's got built in desks in the room and all that,

726
00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:04.000
<v Speaker 8>but it's definitely like a college vibe around there. So

727
00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:06.000
<v Speaker 8>that would be your wheelhouse seat because I know you

728
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:06.880
<v Speaker 8>love the college kids.

729
00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:09.719
<v Speaker 2>Is school out there? Are they done? No?

730
00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:12.679
<v Speaker 8>No, they are. I guess they have another week of

731
00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:17.199
<v Speaker 8>classes and then yeah, Oregon and Oregon State on the

732
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:19.639
<v Speaker 8>quarter system, if either of them were to host the

733
00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:23.280
<v Speaker 8>super Regional next week next weekend, it would be coinciding

734
00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:25.519
<v Speaker 8>with the end of finals and graduation.

735
00:34:26.559 --> 00:34:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's say Arizona guests do this. Could they be

736
00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:30.519
<v Speaker 2>in Tucson?

737
00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:33.559
<v Speaker 8>It really depends on who wins.

738
00:34:33.559 --> 00:34:35.199
<v Speaker 2>The other side, as they're in.

739
00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:38.239
<v Speaker 8>The the against the number twelve seed is who is

740
00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:41.840
<v Speaker 8>their regional host? They'd be paired up with the Chapel

741
00:34:41.920 --> 00:34:45.000
<v Speaker 8>Hill Regional, hosted by number five North Carolina. If North

742
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:48.400
<v Speaker 8>Carolina doesn't win that regional, then it would come down

743
00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:51.119
<v Speaker 8>to I guess which of the teams that won the

744
00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:54.880
<v Speaker 8>two and who hosts? Who bid to host the Super Regional.

745
00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:57.119
<v Speaker 8>And the better thing, If it were the number two

746
00:34:57.159 --> 00:35:02.760
<v Speaker 8>seeds from over there, which I believe is Oklahoma, Arizona

747
00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:04.679
<v Speaker 8>might be able to host. If it's the three seats

748
00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:07.000

761
00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Lessons from Loot. It was a labor of love through

762

<v Speaker 2>the eyes of twenty five former players, coaches, and friends

763
00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:45.400
<v Speaker 2>to give insight to the coach and the man who

764
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:48.480
<v Speaker 2>led them, competed against them, and inspired them. Twenty five

765
00:35:48.559 --> 00:35:51.679

832
00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:24.199
<v Speaker 2>Famer Bob Bafford. Bob, how are you?

833
00:39:25.639 --> 00:39:27.960
<v Speaker 3>Bye? Thank you and thanks for having me having me on.

834
00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:30.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, of course I saw you over the weekend. What

835
00:39:30.199 --> 00:39:33.599
<v Speaker 2>a great ride with your two phillies, and I'm thinking

836
00:39:33.639 --> 00:39:36.559
<v Speaker 2>Bob has some pretty good phillies. You usually don't have

837
00:39:36.599 --> 00:39:38.360
<v Speaker 2>a lot of phillies. But first of all, before I

838
00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:40.599
<v Speaker 2>say it and we get into that, uh, we've had

839
00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Kerr on not too long ago, and I'm thinking I

840
00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:45.519
<v Speaker 2>told Steve on the air, I wish I could, for

841
00:39:45.559 --> 00:39:47.880
<v Speaker 2>a weekend, could be Steve Kerr. And I also say,

842
00:39:48.039 --> 00:39:49.960
<v Speaker 2>for a weekend, I wish that could be Bob Bafford

843
00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:52.159
<v Speaker 2>giving your life and you know, horse racing and all

844
00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:54.440
<v Speaker 2>this stuff. And then I said to Steve, now you

845
00:39:54.440 --> 00:39:57.000
<v Speaker 2>have to deal with Draymond that I never mind, never mind,

846
00:39:57.119 --> 00:39:58.760
<v Speaker 2>you just have to deal with what you deal with.

847
00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:00.719
<v Speaker 2>So and I'd rather be you. I think.

848
00:40:02.079 --> 00:40:04.320
<v Speaker 3>I'd rather be making the money that Steve Kurt is

849
00:40:04.599 --> 00:40:06.679
<v Speaker 3>a trade with them. I'll put up with it for

850
00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:10.039
<v Speaker 3>the right for the money they make. It's ridiculous, right right,

851
00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:12.840
<v Speaker 3>he earns it. He's a great he's a great coach.

852
00:40:12.679 --> 00:40:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Right right. You two loves are fantastic. Your two phillies.

853
00:40:16.159 --> 00:40:18.880
<v Speaker 2>And I like the second one and didn't realize you

854
00:40:18.880 --> 00:40:20.639
<v Speaker 2>had the first one. You're gonna have to give me

855
00:40:20.679 --> 00:40:21.119
<v Speaker 2>the names.

856
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:27.679
<v Speaker 3>Well it's it's it was uh seismic Beauty and Splendora

857
00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:31.880
<v Speaker 3>they ran this last weekend. And I have some really

858
00:40:31.960 --> 00:40:34.400
<v Speaker 3>nice mayors, you know, they're in The crop that I

859
00:40:34.440 --> 00:40:39.000
<v Speaker 3>have is pretty strong, and so sometimes it happens sometimes,

860
00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:41.119
<v Speaker 3>you know, you go through years there you don't have

861
00:40:41.159 --> 00:40:43.719
<v Speaker 3>a good one. I've had some really good ones in

862
00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:46.679
<v Speaker 3>the past, you know, then it gets quiet. But uh,

863
00:40:47.320 --> 00:40:50.039
<v Speaker 3>you know we have you know, those Phillies Seismic Beauty.

864
00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:52.719
<v Speaker 3>I have a mayor called Cavalieri who is really good

865
00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:58.320
<v Speaker 3>mayor called Ritchie Hope Road ran. Uh she's another good Philly.

866
00:40:58.400 --> 00:41:01.920
<v Speaker 3>So I'm pretty stocked up in the in the Philly division,

867
00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:04.760
<v Speaker 3>you know, and we're all hoping, you know, come in

868
00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:07.199
<v Speaker 3>the fall the Breeders' Cups at del Mar this year

869
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:10.559
<v Speaker 3>and hopefully that that's the main objective is to have

870
00:41:10.679 --> 00:41:13.960
<v Speaker 3>him ready on that big day because that's when the

871
00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:17.320
<v Speaker 3>they give out the the championships.

872
00:41:17.519 --> 00:41:21.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah right, tell us about this year for you, I

873
00:41:21.559 --> 00:41:23.480
<v Speaker 4>mean you obviously you get to come back to the

874
00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:26.880
<v Speaker 4>Kentucky Derby. You're involved there, You're involved with the Preakness.

875
00:41:26.920 --> 00:41:28.440
<v Speaker 4>And now what's coming up with the Belmont? Is it

876
00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:30.639
<v Speaker 4>going to be Rodriguez? Is that going to be your horse?

877
00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:32.639
<v Speaker 4>Is he gonna be ready.

878
00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:36.360
<v Speaker 3>Yes, he's actually going to breeze tomorrow and hopefully. So

879
00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:39.599
<v Speaker 3>far he's been doing great. It was unfortunate when we

880
00:41:39.639 --> 00:41:43.840
<v Speaker 3>got to Kentucky and he was doing great and was

881
00:41:43.840 --> 00:41:46.280
<v Speaker 3>coming off a big win in New York in the

882
00:41:46.320 --> 00:41:49.679
<v Speaker 3>Wood and I breathed them at Kentucky and he bruised

883
00:41:49.719 --> 00:41:53.199
<v Speaker 3>his foot. It was wet and a lot of times

884
00:41:53.199 --> 00:41:55.880
<v Speaker 3>in it's raining, you know in California don't get a

885
00:41:55.920 --> 00:41:59.679
<v Speaker 3>lot of rain, but h and he had a bruise

886
00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:03.679
<v Speaker 3>and we just couldn't get him one hundred percent. And

887
00:42:03.800 --> 00:42:06.280
<v Speaker 3>uh so we we couldn't run him, and we were

888
00:42:06.360 --> 00:42:08.679
<v Speaker 3>still working on it. But it's one of those things

889
00:42:08.679 --> 00:42:12.159
<v Speaker 3>where it you know, it's uh, it takes a couple

890
00:42:12.199 --> 00:42:14.199
<v Speaker 3>of weeks just to you know, got to let it,

891
00:42:14.800 --> 00:42:18.800
<v Speaker 3>you know, uh, work its way out. And and now

892
00:42:18.840 --> 00:42:21.920
<v Speaker 3>he's good and he's ready to roll. And but it's

893
00:42:21.960 --> 00:42:24.639
<v Speaker 3>gonna it's gonna be a pretty tough phrase that the

894
00:42:24.719 --> 00:42:28.079
<v Speaker 3>journalism the horse that won the Preakness. You know, I've

895
00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:31.719
<v Speaker 3>been chasing him all winter. He's he's really good and uh,

896
00:42:32.639 --> 00:42:35.039
<v Speaker 3>you know the way he won the Preakness, he fought,

897
00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:38.159
<v Speaker 3>he just bowled his way through there. And and like

898
00:42:38.400 --> 00:42:40.960
<v Speaker 3>uh and and and one. That's pretty impressive when a

899
00:42:41.039 --> 00:42:43.639
<v Speaker 3>horse can do that, you know, and so uh and

900
00:42:43.679 --> 00:42:47.159
<v Speaker 3>then the Derby winner will be in there, and and

901
00:42:47.199 --> 00:42:50.519
<v Speaker 3>that he's a horse that ran uh third in the

902
00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:54.880
<v Speaker 3>Derby California horse he's uh and and Rodriguoz. Those are

903
00:42:54.920 --> 00:42:58.719
<v Speaker 3>the four top I think three year olds, you know,

904
00:42:58.880 --> 00:43:02.119
<v Speaker 3>and it's very rare that you get all for of them,

905
00:43:02.199 --> 00:43:04.679
<v Speaker 3>you know, in there. And I think the reason is

906
00:43:04.719 --> 00:43:07.480
<v Speaker 3>because it's not a mile and a half. It's being

907
00:43:07.519 --> 00:43:11.719
<v Speaker 3>run at Saratoga usually turn at Belmont, but they're they

908
00:43:11.800 --> 00:43:15.159
<v Speaker 3>tore it down and they're building a new, smaller venue there,

909
00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:19.320
<v Speaker 3>so so they're gonna that's why they've been running the

910
00:43:20.239 --> 00:43:26.000
<v Speaker 3>Belmont up there. They'll probably run it there this year

911
00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:28.320
<v Speaker 3>and next year and then in twenty seven they're gonna

912
00:43:28.400 --> 00:43:31.920
<v Speaker 3>they're gonna have it up there. So it's amount of quarter.

913
00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:34.079
<v Speaker 3>It's it's easier on the horse, and the mile and

914
00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:37.079
<v Speaker 3>a half is pretty it's tough. That's a tough distance,

915
00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:39.800
<v Speaker 3>you know, especially if you've run That's why the Triple

916
00:43:39.840 --> 00:43:43.320
<v Speaker 3>Crown it's so hard to win, because you run amount

917
00:43:43.320 --> 00:43:45.800
<v Speaker 3>of quarter a mile three sixteenth to shortened up. Then

918
00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:47.880
<v Speaker 3>you go a mile and a half, you know, in

919
00:43:48.239 --> 00:43:51.519
<v Speaker 3>a five week frame, and so that can be tough.

920
00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:55.840
<v Speaker 3>So that's why the derby winner the trainer really you

921
00:43:55.880 --> 00:43:59.519
<v Speaker 3>know a great trainer, Billmont, he decided, you know, the

922
00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:03.880
<v Speaker 3>Triple Crown. I wasn't you know, he wind away and

923
00:44:04.079 --> 00:44:07.079
<v Speaker 3>have a better horse for the Belmont. And then they're

924
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:09.840
<v Speaker 3>New York guys, you know, so you know, everybody has

925
00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:13.119
<v Speaker 3>their own they know their horse that they do. But

926
00:44:13.239 --> 00:44:15.559
<v Speaker 3>they you know, horse and Hamlet, then they'll they'll take

927
00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:16.400
<v Speaker 3>the crack at it.

928
00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:20.400
<v Speaker 2>So I saw you at the Breeders in this November.

929
00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:22.800
<v Speaker 2>You had some pretty good three three year olds. Think

930
00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:25.039
<v Speaker 2>one of them who ran on the derby. I think

931
00:44:25.039 --> 00:44:27.440
<v Speaker 2>he won the two year old thing. Gaming was third.

932
00:44:28.119 --> 00:44:30.960
<v Speaker 2>What happened to Gaming? It seems like he lost his confidence.

933
00:44:32.400 --> 00:44:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Gaming was really you know, he won the Delmar

934
00:44:37.039 --> 00:44:40.280
<v Speaker 3>Fraternity and he ran second to my horse in the

935
00:44:40.320 --> 00:44:43.360
<v Speaker 3>Breeders Cup, and then I ran him back at lost

936
00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:45.360
<v Speaker 3>all a Medos and he had a bad trip and

937
00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:49.320
<v Speaker 3>he he just was got out of rhythm. And then

938
00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:54.440
<v Speaker 3>I came back and and he just he lost for him.

939
00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:57.400
<v Speaker 3>And all these horses will do that, they lose confidence

940
00:44:58.320 --> 00:45:03.079
<v Speaker 3>and he's you know, he's fine, looks great, and he's uh,

941
00:45:03.400 --> 00:45:08.880
<v Speaker 3>he ran a decent race in on h Derby weekend.

942
00:45:09.079 --> 00:45:12.360
<v Speaker 3>He ran third in in a mile race. He ran

943
00:45:12.400 --> 00:45:14.880
<v Speaker 3>a better race than he can But he's uh, he's

944
00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:18.079
<v Speaker 3>a kind of horse that I'm letting him come back around.

945
00:45:18.119 --> 00:45:21.039
<v Speaker 3>He's gonna run next week, maybe in a in a

946
00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:24.639
<v Speaker 3>in a you know, Matt win, it's a Churchill down

947
00:45:24.760 --> 00:45:27.440
<v Speaker 3>Mount on the sixteenth race. I might give him a

948
00:45:27.440 --> 00:45:29.679
<v Speaker 3>shot there. If he doesn't run him well there, then

949
00:45:29.679 --> 00:45:33.000
<v Speaker 3>I might try him on the turf. But yeah, he

950
00:45:33.079 --> 00:45:35.559
<v Speaker 3>was he really just he was a head scratcher because

951
00:45:35.599 --> 00:45:39.320
<v Speaker 3>he's this big, beautiful horse that looked like he had

952
00:45:39.440 --> 00:45:43.280
<v Speaker 3>so much potential and then just one little you know,

953
00:45:43.400 --> 00:45:46.239
<v Speaker 3>I guess, I guess horses get the yips, you know,

954
00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:50.800
<v Speaker 3>like golfers. But but yeah, but we're slowly and then

955
00:45:50.840 --> 00:45:53.079
<v Speaker 3>you have to just back it up and say, all right,

956
00:45:53.880 --> 00:45:55.760
<v Speaker 3>he's not going to run in the Derby, So let's

957
00:45:55.840 --> 00:45:59.119
<v Speaker 3>let's let's take baby steps and get his conference going back.

958
00:45:59.199 --> 00:46:02.480
<v Speaker 3>It's there. They're horses, you know, and get them back

959
00:46:02.519 --> 00:46:04.480
<v Speaker 3>go and then they get good, you know, they'll they'll

960
00:46:04.519 --> 00:46:06.280
<v Speaker 3>go through a period there where you just gotta have

961
00:46:06.320 --> 00:46:07.320
<v Speaker 3>to wait on him a little bit.

962
00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:09.559
<v Speaker 2>So let me ask you real quick. I mentioned gaming

963
00:46:09.599 --> 00:46:12.599
<v Speaker 2>because of course he's the horse from the local guys,

964
00:46:12.599 --> 00:46:16.199
<v Speaker 2>your car guys, Whiteman and Watson and Pegram, So you

965
00:46:16.239 --> 00:46:17.000
<v Speaker 2>know there's that connection.

966
00:46:17.079 --> 00:46:19.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, yeah, they're they're they're my best clients,

967
00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:23.039
<v Speaker 3>you know, not only my best clients, but they're like

968
00:46:23.119 --> 00:46:26.840
<v Speaker 3>my best friends. You know. They're they're great guys, and

969
00:46:26.840 --> 00:46:29.920
<v Speaker 3>and they really you know, they love they love the game,

970
00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:33.760
<v Speaker 3>and and they they they handle the hids and lows

971
00:46:33.760 --> 00:46:37.559
<v Speaker 3>of the sport. You know, it's one of those racing's tough, Steve.

972
00:46:37.639 --> 00:46:39.920
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's like it's like any sports. You know,

973
00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:42.800
<v Speaker 3>it's like a coach, you know, or like you know

974
00:46:42.840 --> 00:46:46.039
<v Speaker 3>these owners that you know, you you you know, you

975
00:46:46.119 --> 00:46:49.079
<v Speaker 3>got to you gotta certain only certain people can really

976
00:46:49.280 --> 00:46:52.280
<v Speaker 3>deal with horse racing, owning horses and stuff like that,

977
00:46:52.360 --> 00:46:56.599
<v Speaker 3>because you know, you don't want a horse race to

978
00:46:56.760 --> 00:46:59.880
<v Speaker 3>ruin your day. It's a horse race ruined your day.

979
00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:02.559
<v Speaker 3>You're you should not be involved, all right. You got

980
00:47:02.599 --> 00:47:04.800
<v Speaker 3>to be able to got to take it, just like

981
00:47:04.840 --> 00:47:07.960
<v Speaker 3>when you're you know, sports teams or coaches or whatever

982
00:47:08.079 --> 00:47:13.639
<v Speaker 3>you know, and but uh, you know, it's it's it's

983
00:47:13.719 --> 00:47:17.360
<v Speaker 3>just like any other sport. And uh, but it never ends.

984
00:47:17.559 --> 00:47:20.039
<v Speaker 3>We were it's a yearly thing. We don't have breaks,

985
00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:22.199
<v Speaker 3>we don't have seasons. It just goes and goes and

986
00:47:22.239 --> 00:47:25.440
<v Speaker 3>goes and goes. And so it's it's it's a lot

987
00:47:25.480 --> 00:47:28.000
<v Speaker 3>of work. It's fun when it works well, and it's

988
00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:30.639
<v Speaker 3>not fun, you know, But it's like anything. When the

989
00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:32.239
<v Speaker 3>highs are high, the lows are roll low.

990
00:47:32.360 --> 00:47:32.920
<v Speaker 2>But uh.

991
00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:37.079
<v Speaker 3>My guys, you know the cardboard they have a passion

992
00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:41.000
<v Speaker 3>for it. They love the horses, they they love the competition.

993
00:47:41.239 --> 00:47:43.559
<v Speaker 3>And there's not a better feeling in watching your horse

994
00:47:43.719 --> 00:47:46.199
<v Speaker 3>turn for home and he's on the lead, no matter

995
00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:49.159
<v Speaker 3>what kind of race it is. It's just excitement, you know.

996
00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:54.599
<v Speaker 3>And so that's you know, horse racing is unfortunately RULEDO

997
00:47:56.599 --> 00:47:59.679
<v Speaker 3>I guess I guess they close it down.

998
00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:00.599
<v Speaker 2>I ask you about that.

999
00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:03.360
<v Speaker 4>Would you like to get involved maybe help help out

1000
00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:05.719
<v Speaker 4>in your roles of stopping grounds?

1001
00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:07.119
<v Speaker 7>You know?

1002
00:48:07.679 --> 00:48:09.599
<v Speaker 3>Really, I just I love really because that's where I

1003
00:48:09.599 --> 00:48:12.880
<v Speaker 3>got my start. And uh, when they turned the barn

1004
00:48:12.880 --> 00:48:15.679
<v Speaker 3>area into soccer field, it was sort of that was

1005
00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:20.119
<v Speaker 3>not good. It was like not a good sign. You

1006
00:48:20.159 --> 00:48:22.920
<v Speaker 3>need a barn area. You know, you just that bringing

1007
00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:26.280
<v Speaker 3>him in, and you know it's that track is pretty small,

1008
00:48:26.400 --> 00:48:29.800
<v Speaker 3>you know, but uh in that grandstand, I mean it's

1009
00:48:29.960 --> 00:48:34.440
<v Speaker 3>like one good Win. I think it's going to go.

1010
00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:38.119
<v Speaker 3>But I have a lot of great memories from there.

1011
00:48:38.320 --> 00:48:42.119
<v Speaker 3>I went there as a jockey, as a trainer. My

1012
00:48:42.199 --> 00:48:44.519
<v Speaker 3>father took me when I was eleven years old. Just

1013
00:48:44.599 --> 00:48:47.199
<v Speaker 3>fell in love with the place. I loved it. It

1014
00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:51.079
<v Speaker 3>was actually the first official Courter horse race was running,

1015
00:48:51.199 --> 00:48:55.960
<v Speaker 3>really yeah, you know, and so it's there's a lot

1016
00:48:56.000 --> 00:48:59.400
<v Speaker 3>of history there and that's where corterhorse racing sort of

1017
00:49:00.119 --> 00:49:03.800
<v Speaker 3>got its birds right there, you know that. And so

1018
00:49:04.679 --> 00:49:08.320
<v Speaker 3>it's just a lot of memories. I remember going there

1019
00:49:08.559 --> 00:49:10.920
<v Speaker 3>a few years back, you know, just showing up there

1020
00:49:10.960 --> 00:49:12.719
<v Speaker 3>and one of the races one day, you know, just

1021
00:49:12.840 --> 00:49:17.039
<v Speaker 3>not the races, but for the uh, just to check

1022
00:49:17.079 --> 00:49:19.719
<v Speaker 3>it out. And it's it's really you know, it's a

1023
00:49:19.719 --> 00:49:20.320
<v Speaker 3>great place.

1024
00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:23.719
<v Speaker 2>So so back in the day when you had real quiet,

1025
00:49:23.800 --> 00:49:26.280
<v Speaker 2>I think it's late eighteen eighties eighty nine, I spent

1026
00:49:26.360 --> 00:49:28.480
<v Speaker 2>a day or two with your your mom and dad,

1027
00:49:28.519 --> 00:49:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Ellie and Bill. Great people. Obviously fun Your dad's a

1028
00:49:31.800 --> 00:49:34.239
<v Speaker 2>funny guy. Was a funny guy. What would they be

1029
00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:36.519
<v Speaker 2>thinking of you now and how proud would they be?

1030
00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:41.400
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean, it was my father. It wasn't my

1031
00:49:41.440 --> 00:49:44.760
<v Speaker 3>father's passion. He loved animals. He loved horses, cattle, everything,

1032
00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:46.960
<v Speaker 3>and so he's the one that fell in love with

1033
00:49:46.960 --> 00:49:51.079
<v Speaker 3>the horses, rave horses racing, and and I was just

1034
00:49:51.239 --> 00:49:53.679
<v Speaker 3>tagging along with him, and that's how I got the

1035
00:49:53.760 --> 00:49:59.119
<v Speaker 3>bug and I really got to enjoy great memories with him. Unfortunately,

1036
00:49:59.199 --> 00:50:01.800
<v Speaker 3>they weren't around when I finally won a triple crown.

1037
00:50:01.880 --> 00:50:04.199
<v Speaker 3>They were with me with the other triple crown, with

1038
00:50:04.639 --> 00:50:09.119
<v Speaker 3>three of them that we that was in ninety eight,

1039
00:50:09.159 --> 00:50:12.719
<v Speaker 3>two thousand and two, whatever, But you know, they were

1040
00:50:12.719 --> 00:50:14.960
<v Speaker 3>there two thousand and nine when I was inducted in

1041
00:50:14.960 --> 00:50:17.159
<v Speaker 3>the Hall of Fame. That was probably my proudest moment.

1042
00:50:17.320 --> 00:50:21.320
<v Speaker 3>And I remember them. They were just so proud, you know,

1043
00:50:21.519 --> 00:50:23.760
<v Speaker 3>and to be there and to get introducted in the

1044
00:50:23.760 --> 00:50:26.079
<v Speaker 3>Hall of Fame and have them there, it was that

1045
00:50:26.159 --> 00:50:30.679
<v Speaker 3>was pretty pretty moving for me. Was very emotional, And

1046
00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:33.119
<v Speaker 3>when I won the Triple Crown, I got very emotional

1047
00:50:33.159 --> 00:50:36.360
<v Speaker 3>because I wish they could what could have been there

1048
00:50:36.360 --> 00:50:40.039
<v Speaker 3>to witness it was the most unbelievable experience. I mean,

1049
00:50:40.960 --> 00:50:43.280
<v Speaker 3>that's the greatest sporting event I've ever been to because

1050
00:50:43.360 --> 00:50:45.480
<v Speaker 3>everybody was there rooting for one horse, you know, one

1051
00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:51.039
<v Speaker 3>hundred thousand people and it had been thirty thirty seven years.

1052
00:50:51.239 --> 00:50:55.760
<v Speaker 3>You know, it was ridiculous whatever. And so you know,

1053
00:50:56.039 --> 00:50:59.880
<v Speaker 3>great memories from kid from the Gallas RULEDO wins triple crown.

1054
00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:03.280
<v Speaker 3>That was not I didn't I didn't plan that.

1055
00:51:03.679 --> 00:51:05.920
<v Speaker 2>No, it's been ten years. I mean since I think

1056
00:51:05.920 --> 00:51:10.519
<v Speaker 2>America fifteen. It seems like just yesterday and.

1057
00:51:10.480 --> 00:51:12.840
<v Speaker 3>Then and then Justify, you know, a couple of years later.

1058
00:51:12.920 --> 00:51:15.920
<v Speaker 3>Then he does it and like makes it look easy

1059
00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:18.920
<v Speaker 3>and it's tough, but it's it's you know, they keep

1060
00:51:18.960 --> 00:51:21.559
<v Speaker 3>wanting to change it because they can't get enough horses

1061
00:51:21.559 --> 00:51:24.079
<v Speaker 3>to run in the second leg. Because a lot of

1062
00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:28.719
<v Speaker 3>a lot of the younger trainers now they're you know,

1063
00:51:28.760 --> 00:51:32.039
<v Speaker 3>they're they're using analytical sort of just like they do

1064
00:51:32.119 --> 00:51:34.840
<v Speaker 3>in sports. You know, well my horse, if I get

1065
00:51:34.880 --> 00:51:38.199
<v Speaker 3>more time, blah blah blah, and so you know, but

1066
00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:42.960
<v Speaker 3>that's the thing is to me, I like, I'm traditionalists.

1067
00:51:43.199 --> 00:51:45.719
<v Speaker 3>It wouldn't mean the same if if they changed it,

1068
00:51:45.400 --> 00:51:48.079
<v Speaker 3>and it would just be another race. You know, it's

1069
00:51:48.119 --> 00:51:51.079
<v Speaker 3>it's they're very emotional, they're they're very important races. And

1070
00:51:51.800 --> 00:51:54.960
<v Speaker 3>the Derby is like, that's the Derby is The Derby

1071
00:51:55.079 --> 00:51:58.880
<v Speaker 3>is like it's like the Masters. Okay, you know, you

1072
00:51:58.920 --> 00:52:02.079
<v Speaker 3>can win a lot of turn in golf, but everybody

1073
00:52:02.199 --> 00:52:07.159
<v Speaker 3>at the Masters. That's the Kentucky Derby. And so it's

1074
00:52:07.400 --> 00:52:12.800
<v Speaker 3>it's it's something that I still have to pinch myself sometimes.

1075
00:52:12.840 --> 00:52:16.559
<v Speaker 3>I can't believe what I've accomplished coming from where I

1076
00:52:16.599 --> 00:52:17.079
<v Speaker 3>came from.

1077
00:52:17.280 --> 00:52:20.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, how much longer are we going to be seeing

1078
00:52:20.440 --> 00:52:22.960
<v Speaker 4>you involved with this? I went d Wayne Lucas is like,

1079
00:52:23.000 --> 00:52:26.000
<v Speaker 4>what eighty nine or something.

1080
00:52:26.039 --> 00:52:28.079
<v Speaker 3>He's going to be ninety years old, and I was

1081
00:52:28.880 --> 00:52:31.280
<v Speaker 3>I talked to him. I was just talking to him yesterday.

1082
00:52:31.280 --> 00:52:33.800
<v Speaker 3>He was there, and I mean he just loved it.

1083
00:52:33.840 --> 00:52:36.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean, and he the guy was a great horseman.

1084
00:52:37.440 --> 00:52:40.079
<v Speaker 3>I remember the first time I saw Wayne Lucas. I

1085
00:52:40.159 --> 00:52:43.719
<v Speaker 3>was seventeen. I was at Sonoyda, Arizona, and they had

1086
00:52:43.800 --> 00:52:46.440
<v Speaker 3>these court horse trials and he pulls up in this

1087
00:52:46.599 --> 00:52:50.719
<v Speaker 3>shiny trailer with wheels and ran these horses there came

1088
00:52:50.760 --> 00:52:53.599
<v Speaker 3>in from New Mexico. And I mean the guy has

1089
00:52:53.639 --> 00:52:57.440
<v Speaker 3>always been, like, you know, not only is a great horseman.

1090
00:52:57.480 --> 00:53:00.880
<v Speaker 3>But it's a great showman type. Know, he'd be brought.

1091
00:53:01.320 --> 00:53:05.079
<v Speaker 3>He really up the game, you know, brought class into

1092
00:53:05.159 --> 00:53:09.960
<v Speaker 3>the court horse. He changed, revolutionized court horse racing, durban racing.

1093
00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:13.199
<v Speaker 3>He's the one that started putting horses on planes and

1094
00:53:13.239 --> 00:53:17.119
<v Speaker 3>shipping them to different races and winning off de waighing

1095
00:53:17.159 --> 00:53:20.199
<v Speaker 3>off the plane and all this and so and he's

1096
00:53:20.199 --> 00:53:23.719
<v Speaker 3>still at it. His mind is still it's great, you know,

1097
00:53:24.119 --> 00:53:28.760
<v Speaker 3>he's he's getting up there in age, but his mind's

1098
00:53:28.760 --> 00:53:31.639
<v Speaker 3>still sharp, and he's you know, he said, he's he

1099
00:53:31.760 --> 00:53:34.559
<v Speaker 3>still loves what he's doing. And he told me yesterday

1100
00:53:34.599 --> 00:53:35.960
<v Speaker 3>he says, you know, I've got a couple of nice

1101
00:53:35.960 --> 00:53:39.880
<v Speaker 3>two year olds and uh, Charlie Winningham had they he's

1102
00:53:39.880 --> 00:53:44.760
<v Speaker 3>a great trainer, had the best the best phrase, he said,

1103
00:53:44.960 --> 00:53:47.920
<v Speaker 3>you never he never knew anyone that committed suicide knowing

1104
00:53:47.920 --> 00:53:49.440
<v Speaker 3>they had a good two year old in the barn,

1105
00:53:49.519 --> 00:53:53.679
<v Speaker 3>you know. And so and that's where we all live for.

1106
00:53:53.840 --> 00:53:56.119
<v Speaker 3>You know, how's our two year olds doing? You know?

1107
00:53:56.559 --> 00:53:58.199
<v Speaker 3>And we've got a good tier that can go to

1108
00:53:58.239 --> 00:54:00.719
<v Speaker 3>the Derby maybe next year or something like that. You know,

1109
00:54:00.840 --> 00:54:04.920
<v Speaker 3>So you need something to keep you going. And horse

1110
00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:08.360
<v Speaker 3>racing and horses. It's great therapy for a lot of

1111
00:54:08.400 --> 00:54:11.360
<v Speaker 3>these guys. It's secondary business for them, and you know,

1112
00:54:11.400 --> 00:54:14.000
<v Speaker 3>they were very successful in their businesses, but they want

1113
00:54:14.039 --> 00:54:16.719
<v Speaker 3>to do something. This is like their own. You know,

1114
00:54:16.760 --> 00:54:19.320
<v Speaker 3>they can't own a franchise team, you know, a team

1115
00:54:19.440 --> 00:54:22.800
<v Speaker 3>or something like that, but this is theirs, their own team.

1116
00:54:22.840 --> 00:54:26.360
<v Speaker 3>That's they got their colors and that's how they get involved.

1117
00:54:26.360 --> 00:54:31.679
<v Speaker 3>And I'm lucky that my brother Bill, who lives in Tucson,

1118
00:54:32.320 --> 00:54:34.639
<v Speaker 3>got to be good friends with Carral and Paul and

1119
00:54:34.679 --> 00:54:37.360
<v Speaker 3>that's how I met them and got them involved with

1120
00:54:37.480 --> 00:54:40.480
<v Speaker 3>horse racing. And they've had a lot of good luck, you.

1121
00:54:40.440 --> 00:54:44.760
<v Speaker 2>Know, Bob, thanks as always. Good luck next week with Rodriguez.

1122
00:54:44.760 --> 00:54:47.639
<v Speaker 2>I know he's going to be in my trifecta. You

1123
00:54:47.760 --> 00:54:50.119
<v Speaker 2>got it, my man. Good luck to you all right.

1124
00:54:50.119 --> 00:54:50.800
<v Speaker 3>Thanks for having me.

1125
00:54:52.639 --> 00:54:54.760
<v Speaker 2>You got to go. We're way over. So that was

1126
00:54:54.840 --> 00:54:56.840
<v Speaker 2>fun though. That was that was great. Yeah, thanks much.
