<v Speaker 2>on the Ball here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm

6
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Steve Rivera and with me today is Blake Eager. He

7
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:27.480
<v Speaker 2>ever shows up a little late here at three o'clock,

8
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:31.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna have to make him run some laps because

9
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:31.640
<v Speaker 2>he's late.

10
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:33.520
<v Speaker 3>He's always kind of late, but.

11
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:35.479
<v Speaker 2>Today he's really late because I'm the other one in here.

12
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:38.320
<v Speaker 2>But we're gonna talk a lot about the draft today.

13
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:42.920
<v Speaker 2>He starts in two hours from now. Carter Bryant likely

14
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.320
<v Speaker 2>to go in the top twelve, maybe top ten. We'll

15
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:51.159
<v Speaker 2>see what happens, and then maybe Caleb Love maybe by

16
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:52.840
<v Speaker 2>the end of the night. I'm sure by the end

17
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:55.000
<v Speaker 2>of the night we'll know where he'll be as a

18
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 2>free agent, for sure. Because runs the draft is over,

19
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:02.920
<v Speaker 2>the ones that don't get drafted gets picked up pretty

20
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:08.000
<v Speaker 2>quickly by by teams, you know. So so we'll see

21
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.319
<v Speaker 2>what happens there. And I see the bankers here, but

22
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:12.879
<v Speaker 2>now there's no one to get him at the door.

23
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:13.879
<v Speaker 3>We'll see what happens.

24
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:19.200
<v Speaker 2>So here we are on Wednesday, already Wednesday, midweek, so

25
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:20.760
<v Speaker 2>we'll have let me tell you who.

26
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:22.560
<v Speaker 3>We have a pretty good guest list here today.

27
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:27.400
<v Speaker 2>We have Jason Gardner, former you of a guard from

28

00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:36.000
<v Speaker 2>two and one Final four National Championship team, the Ironman guy.

00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:40.120

31
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:43.799
<v Speaker 2>Corey Williams at four seventeen, a guy who's been through this,

32
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.879
<v Speaker 2>the ropes of being not drafted, but you know through

33
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.439
<v Speaker 2>what my Caleb Love might be going through at the

34
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:52.000
<v Speaker 2>end of the day.

35
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:54.280
<v Speaker 3>You know, a guy who was I think.

36
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Picked up somehow in the summer and then he had

37
00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:00.079
<v Speaker 2>to go overseas and had a pretty good career and

38
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, has a pretty good life now with Crest

39
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:05.040
<v Speaker 2>and does a lot of things with the Summer League.

40
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.480
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk about that as well. And look, you showed up.

41
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.879
<v Speaker 2>Who the hell let you in? Apparently not you? Somebody did.

42
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:12.800
<v Speaker 3>No, I couldn't get off the bike.

43
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.240
<v Speaker 2>I guess I know where your priorities are now, Steve,

44
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:17.560
<v Speaker 2>too many, too many traffic lights?

45
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:18.240
<v Speaker 3>What's up with that?

46
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:21.800
<v Speaker 2>And it's called work. It's this weird thing that we're

47
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:23.879
<v Speaker 2>have to show up to the office and then all

48
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:25.400
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden you just kind of sneak out, and

49
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:27.240
<v Speaker 2>I gotta sneak out. I hate my boss.

50
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:28.800
<v Speaker 3>I was in his named Blake.

51
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah you got you need a little five every time.

52
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:32.639
<v Speaker 3>I look in the mirror.

53
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Five more minutes. Yeah, well you've got a hat on.

54
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.560
<v Speaker 3>You must have got another haircut. Oh here we go. Yeah. No,

55
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:44.199
<v Speaker 3>I'm not going back to that barber anymore. Super cuts,

56
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.759
<v Speaker 3>no more, no more. To see you, Blake. Good to

57
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:47.080
<v Speaker 3>see you.

58
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.199
<v Speaker 2>Steve had some good shows last few days without you.

59
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 3>That's good. Why'd you ask me back?

60
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.919
<v Speaker 2>Because I need somebody carry me through for two hours.

61
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.240
<v Speaker 2>But today we should have a pretty good one with

62
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.759
<v Speaker 2>with Jason Gardner at three seventeen and then Williams at

63
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:03.039
<v Speaker 2>four seventeen. Yeah. I don't think you could ask for

64
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:05.080
<v Speaker 2>two better guests. No, No, you know how it is.

65
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:05.360
<v Speaker 3>Today.

66
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.159
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I don't know, I want to get today.

67
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Try to get Murphy. Who's with with Caleb in New York?

68
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:16.280
<v Speaker 2>Given that to given that to Tommy's in Switzerland. We're

69
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:21.120
<v Speaker 2>hit him ready for the summer basketball stuff. Yeah, but

70
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:23.360
<v Speaker 2>it's been good. Last couple of days. We talked a

71
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:25.639
<v Speaker 2>little about baseball. We had the Two Squirrels. I'm sure

72
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:26.479
<v Speaker 2>you're familiar with him.

73
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:28.960
<v Speaker 3>Have you seen him? Have you seen anything? I haven't

<v Speaker 2>Eighteen and four going into yesterday.

76
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:36.520
<v Speaker 3>But you know, it's a it's a independent league. Yetta, Yetta,

77
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:38.479
<v Speaker 3>it's a grind as a player for that league. Too.

78
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:41.120
<v Speaker 3>Great word really really difficult? Great, Well, you got to

79
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:43.319
<v Speaker 3>really love baseball. I think I said that before.

80
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:45.719
<v Speaker 4>It has to be like your number one priority in life, right,

81
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:48.840
<v Speaker 4>and it's it might be a stepping stone to something bigger,

82
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:52.280
<v Speaker 4>you never know, but it's you don't stop until somebody

83
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:53.800
<v Speaker 4>takes your glover cleats away from you.

84
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 2>Right, and you're you know, you're young, twenty two to

85
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:57.639
<v Speaker 2>twenty three, and you say, what else am I going

86
00:03:57.719 --> 00:03:58.919
<v Speaker 2>to do besides go to work?

87
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.680
<v Speaker 3>And we know how work sucks? Yeah, we do, yeah,

88
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.919
<v Speaker 3>some of us. Do you know? I haven't made I

89
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:08.840
<v Speaker 3>like my boss. His name is Steve. Yeah.

90
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.080
<v Speaker 2>The most difficult part of my job is what do

91
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.520
<v Speaker 2>you think waking up every day? That's one of them.

92
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:18.399
<v Speaker 2>That's probably about number three. No, getting the guest list,

93
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I didn't guess I don't have

94
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:24.480
<v Speaker 2>too good job that you. Oh yeah, thank you. But

95
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:27.879
<v Speaker 2>it's just what myrolodexis. Who hasn't been on in a while,

96
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.240
<v Speaker 2>what the topics for today yet? To make it topical, I.

97
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.800
<v Speaker 4>Usually put an alarm at two thirty PM to set

98
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:39.279
<v Speaker 4>off waiting for your text to text me and say.

99
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:39.920
<v Speaker 3>I did today kind of early. But you know you

100
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 3>were thinking like I was thinking.

101
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.720
<v Speaker 2>And we're still waiting for coach Burke from the women's

102
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.519
<v Speaker 2>from the basketball team, women's basketball team at ubi H.

103
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:47.959
<v Speaker 2>Like I said, we try to get Murphy on, but

104
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:48.600
<v Speaker 2>he couldn't be it.

105
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:49.360
<v Speaker 3>He was in New York.

106
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:52.079
<v Speaker 2>Uh, and he wasn't sure if he'd be available on

107
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:55.360
<v Speaker 2>our time because it starts. When it starts, are they're

108
00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:00.319
<v Speaker 2>already starting to head to the the facility where the

109
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.040
<v Speaker 2>draft is. So I think it's in New York. Yeah,

110
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:07.160
<v Speaker 2>I think so. When I covered it was in Vancouver, Washington.

111
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:09.560
<v Speaker 2>So what else going on with Glorady? Did you say

112
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:14.120
<v Speaker 2>the draft? The draft was in Vancouver, Washington, Vancouver, Washington

113
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.199
<v Speaker 2>back in the day, that's when Bibi was number two, Yeah,

114
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.279
<v Speaker 2>the ninety eight. Yeah, yeah, before I think it moved

115
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:22.319
<v Speaker 2>around every now and again, but I think it's mostly

116
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:24.240
<v Speaker 2>centered in New York, the.

117
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.480
<v Speaker 3>Mecca, the mecca. Have you ever been to Madison Square guard?

118
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:27.959
<v Speaker 5>I have?

119
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:31.120
<v Speaker 3>And what Google? How long ago? It was a long

120
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:32.560
<v Speaker 3>time ago. What were your impressions?

121
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:36.399
<v Speaker 4>You know, I was pretty naive, but it was I

122
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:38.759
<v Speaker 4>was impressed when you walked through those doors. What about

123
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:40.319
<v Speaker 4>when you walked in the doors. That's what I mean,

124
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.959
<v Speaker 4>walk through the doors. I mean it smell like New

125
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:43.480
<v Speaker 4>York to me.

126
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:47.079
<v Speaker 3>So it was I didn't really I wasn't too impressed.

127
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:49.720
<v Speaker 4>I lived in New York for a little while. So

128
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.120
<v Speaker 4>did you the smell something that? That's why I get

129
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:53.959
<v Speaker 4>used to Yeah, yeah, yeah it is.

130
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:56.399
<v Speaker 2>I really didn't know in some of my books, you

131
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:58.959
<v Speaker 2>really didn't know that New York, that Medicine Square Garden.

132
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.279
<v Speaker 3>That's like the third or fourth version of That's regard. Yeah,

133
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:02.680
<v Speaker 3>I think, you know.

134
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Would it start off as a library or a bus

135
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:07.120
<v Speaker 2>station for a while and then they built it into

136
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:09.040
<v Speaker 2>they tore it down, built it into the first and

137
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:10.319
<v Speaker 2>I think this is a third.

138
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:13.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the third? Yeah? Yeah. What what are you doing

139
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:14.759
<v Speaker 3>in playing? Yeah? Playing?

140
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.360
<v Speaker 2>You lived in downtown lived in Brooklyn, Oh, Brooklyn? Okay,

141
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:21.839
<v Speaker 2>not too far. Yeah, it's a suburb. Yeah, I think

142
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:23.680
<v Speaker 2>that's where. I called it borough though. If that's where,

143
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.959
<v Speaker 2>that's where. Where's the island? How far is the island?

144
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.519
<v Speaker 2>That's not Brooklyn right, No, because that's where rail Roe

145
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:33.759
<v Speaker 2>Moddel lives. I'm talking about Stanton Islands. That maybe he

146
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:36.680
<v Speaker 2>lived in Staten Island, Pico.

147
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:40.199
<v Speaker 3>I was talking about Long Island, but Long Island is connected,

148
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:42.800
<v Speaker 3>so okay, maybe one of those. I can't remember. I

149
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:45.600
<v Speaker 3>was Raidiro model before Railroam model was raid Romon. Yeah.

150
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:47.759
<v Speaker 4>If I close my eyes at night, yeah, I had

151
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.079
<v Speaker 4>to watch I watch Everybody Loves Raymond.

152
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:53.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't. I somehow just dislike it I had.

153
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:58.360
<v Speaker 2>I had the same exact, almost exact same lifestyle. A

154
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.839
<v Speaker 2>wife who hated me, and two kids lord me and

155
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:02.360
<v Speaker 2>and you think it's white hated him.

156
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:07.680
<v Speaker 3>That's great. I'm sure overbearing mother yo and.

157
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:11.639
<v Speaker 2>A nearby dad's father in law bla, yeah, oh oh

158
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:13.079
<v Speaker 2>me and my mom was a lot like that.

159
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:15.600
<v Speaker 3>Mom, really, I like, yeah, well, bless her heart. Yeah.

160
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.399
<v Speaker 2>It's wild that you're not still married as often as

161
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:25.199
<v Speaker 2>to talk about it. Yeah, that's for another show, Why

162
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.720
<v Speaker 2>you're not married? Go ahead, call in first color a

163
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:31.920
<v Speaker 2>long time listener. That would be you know what we

164
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:35.199
<v Speaker 2>got along summer ahead of us? Right, yeah, keep you

165
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:39.079
<v Speaker 2>on the subject matter. Places to eat in Tucson and

166
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:40.160
<v Speaker 2>why aren't you married?

167
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:43.399
<v Speaker 3>That's too funny? All right?

168
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:45.079
<v Speaker 4>So I know you guys already talked about it, probably

169
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:49.120
<v Speaker 4>this week quite a bit asium. But uh NBA finals

170
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:50.759
<v Speaker 4>thought good.

171
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:54.800
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was a fantastic series, evenly played. I

172
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:57.680
<v Speaker 2>thought it would be. I thought that, okay, so you

173
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:00.120
<v Speaker 2>would win it in six? I thought you picked. I

174
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:02.800
<v Speaker 2>thought you picked Indiana and six no, I picked Okay. See,

175
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm still waiting to get paid from my guy here. Yeah,

176
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:09.399
<v Speaker 2>because you know, oh yeah, forgot can I veno?

177
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:11.279
<v Speaker 3>You know I want the cash, give me the cash?

178
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:13.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, no, no, no.

179
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:15.959
<v Speaker 2>But the thing about it was that the Arizona guys

180
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:17.279
<v Speaker 2>were fantastic, unbelievable.

181
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:19.800
<v Speaker 3>I thought Mathurne stepped up huge in that series. It's

182
00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:20.879
<v Speaker 3>great to watch him play.

183
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:23.399
<v Speaker 4>I think when Haliburt went down, he was kind of

184
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:25.279
<v Speaker 4>the go to guy too and took it upon himself.

185
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:28.160
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, yeah, it was it was same, we'll call it.

186
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.160
<v Speaker 3>It was he was. He was fantastic. Yeah. I had

187
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:33.720
<v Speaker 3>some late turnovers in the last game.

188
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:35.440
<v Speaker 4>Try to do too much at some point, but I mean,

189
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:37.240
<v Speaker 4>you're down, You're trying to do everything possibly can.

190
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:38.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna try to get him out the next couple

191
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:41.559
<v Speaker 2>of days. Yeah, send a note to Indianapolis if he

192
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.639
<v Speaker 2>can come on. Because he's one of the great guys.

193
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.120
<v Speaker 2>In Shawn's time, he was one of the great guys.

194
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:47.600
<v Speaker 3>I think you have a history.

195
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:49.279
<v Speaker 4>He's one of Oh yeah, yeah, right, yeah, I just

196
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:50.879
<v Speaker 4>didn't like community and everything else.

197
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:51.159
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

198
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:54.240
<v Speaker 2>The last uh I've been doing thirty seven, he's probably

199
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:55.639
<v Speaker 2>in the top seven for sure.

200
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:59.240
<v Speaker 3>That's interesting. Yeah. Yeah, is that good or bad? Number?

201
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:01.480
<v Speaker 3>I I mean, I like seven. Do you not like

202
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:02.039
<v Speaker 3>the number seven?

203
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:02.200
<v Speaker 2>No?

204
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.559
<v Speaker 3>No, no, I'm saying the number seven. I'm saying because

205
00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:05.879
<v Speaker 3>maybe you thought he could be higher.

206
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:08.120
<v Speaker 2>No, I think I think that's a good I think

207
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:12.000
<v Speaker 2>top ten is what I yeah, yeah, okay, that's fair assessment.

208
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.080
<v Speaker 4>I like top ten. All right, So what do we

209
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:16.080
<v Speaker 4>got for the summer? What do we got sports wise

210
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:16.320
<v Speaker 4>going on?

211
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:16.600
<v Speaker 3>Right now?

212
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:22.360
<v Speaker 4>Baseball, which is killing me because my Cubbies are terrible awful.

213
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:25.279
<v Speaker 4>Right now they're in first place in Central but the

214
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:27.039
<v Speaker 4>last ten games they look terrible.

215
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:29.000
<v Speaker 3>Council can coach or manage.

216
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.919
<v Speaker 4>I mean you're saying that, but well, I I we're

217
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:35.320
<v Speaker 4>talking about we were on the council the bus, I'm

218
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:39.440
<v Speaker 4>still on. Uh he's he just got off at the last stop.

219
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:41.679
<v Speaker 3>So what why what are they doing in the last

220
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:44.360
<v Speaker 3>ten days? Listen? His argument, I think is valid. You're

221
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:45.679
<v Speaker 3>leaving starting pitching in too long.

222
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.080
<v Speaker 4>Right, you're giving up five runs, six runs, eight runs,

223
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:51.159
<v Speaker 4>and you're still sticking with guys. I think some circumstances

224
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:53.480
<v Speaker 4>benefit those players like Ben Brown, who's a rookie, so

225
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:55.679
<v Speaker 4>they can work through things. I think you've got a

226
00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:57.799
<v Speaker 4>guy like Colin Ria who's a VET, and you've got

227
00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:00.600
<v Speaker 4>Jamison Italian that's a VET. That probably doesn't benefit them

228
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:02.960
<v Speaker 4>as much. And you've got a pretty good bullpen right now, right,

229
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:04.600
<v Speaker 4>you've got the number one bullpen in the big League

230
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:10.480
<v Speaker 4>since May tenth. You can utilize those resources. But it

231
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:13.679
<v Speaker 4>is what it is, and the offensive lineup is it

232
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:15.279
<v Speaker 4>was the best in baseball, and it's kind of gone

233
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:16.200
<v Speaker 4>dormant to a degree.

234
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:19.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, between you and Jay with his Dodgers, Yeah, I mean, like,

235
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:20.279
<v Speaker 3>who's it.

236
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:22.759
<v Speaker 2>If you're a Dodgers fan, you have nothing to complain about.

237
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:24.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't care if you have an injury. I don't

238
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:26.399
<v Speaker 2>care about any of that stuff like you have not.

239
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:29.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to listen to any Dodger fan plane.

240
00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:31.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to hear it like you essentially have

241
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.759
<v Speaker 2>the mecha of the baseball universe from a money standpoint,

242
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:36.840
<v Speaker 2>from a talent standpoint, from a resource standpoint.

243
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:38.600
<v Speaker 4>But I did think it was interesting. I know you

244
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:40.399
<v Speaker 4>don't follow this on deep diving a little bit, but

245
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:43.279
<v Speaker 4>I mean, they've had a ton of injuries to pitching,

246
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.879
<v Speaker 4>right to pitchers, so they brought on drive Line with

247
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:49.399
<v Speaker 4>this organization that helps develop arm strength and velocity and

248
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:53.879
<v Speaker 4>spin rate to kind of run and develop their throwing

249
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:57.320
<v Speaker 4>programs over the last couple of years and the amount

250
00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:00.000
<v Speaker 4>of injuries they've had since that time, and people are like, well,

251
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:03.240
<v Speaker 4>why are they keeping Well, you're trading You're trading health

252
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.480
<v Speaker 4>for velocity. This at the stage in the game, right

253
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.799
<v Speaker 4>you're it's no longer about feel, it's no longer about

254
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:10.639
<v Speaker 4>really truly pitching. I mean, the sinker's kind of coming back.

255
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:13.799
<v Speaker 4>That's a two seam fastball that went away forever, but

256
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.679
<v Speaker 4>it's slowly coming back. But the feel in pitching is

257
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:19.080
<v Speaker 4>it's just a different world now, So you're trading all

258
00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:20.600
<v Speaker 4>that for spin rate and try to grip it and

259
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:22.399
<v Speaker 4>rip it and throw as hard as you possibly can.

260
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.200
<v Speaker 3>And you're seeing a lot of injuries. That is what

261
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.399
<v Speaker 3>it is. How would you you've been out? How long?

262
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:29.919
<v Speaker 4>How long have I been my last professional year? Yeah,

263
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:31.480
<v Speaker 4>two thousand and nine, so.

264
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:32.120
<v Speaker 3>That's been a while.

265
00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:35.879
<v Speaker 4>How would you fare in today's world? I mean, my

266
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:38.879
<v Speaker 4>velocity was eighty eight ninety two. My top sided ninety

267
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:42.679
<v Speaker 4>ninety three ninety five. But I mean I sat eighty

268
00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:46.639
<v Speaker 4>eight ninety two, but I could throw everything I wanted

269
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:48.919
<v Speaker 4>to throw, so I would I would probably be like

270
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:51.679
<v Speaker 4>a middle innings relief guy, which I would not farewell

271
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:52.919
<v Speaker 4>because I was never good in relief.

272
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:53.679
<v Speaker 3>I was at a starter.

273
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:57.679
<v Speaker 2>So was there a day when you woke up and said, yeah,

274
00:11:57.879 --> 00:11:59.519
<v Speaker 2>or does someone make the decision for you?

275
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:01.159
<v Speaker 4>I think we had a conversation like the last two

276
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:03.159
<v Speaker 4>weeks so my shoulder, you had that decision for me.

277
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.759
<v Speaker 4>I had labor surgery that ended my career. I tried

278
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:07.159
<v Speaker 4>to come back from me. I was never the same,

279
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.919
<v Speaker 4>but no nobody ever really said physicality or talent wise

280
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:12.039
<v Speaker 4>that I was never good enough.

281
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:12.360
<v Speaker 3>At that level.

282
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:14.440
<v Speaker 4>Now, people told me that all the time growing up.

283
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.440
<v Speaker 4>They told me that going into college. Yeah, but when

284
00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:19.360
<v Speaker 4>I got into Pro Bowl actually had the opposite effect.

285
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:20.639
<v Speaker 4>So that's why I always have great love for the

286
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:23.559
<v Speaker 4>Mets system, because they believed in you. Yeah, and they

287
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:25.759
<v Speaker 4>gave me opportunities that most organizations probably want.

288
00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:28.039
<v Speaker 2>App Do you find that you do the same now

289
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.120
<v Speaker 2>as a person? Yeah, I hope I do, Yeah, because

290
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:33.279
<v Speaker 2>you know what you were afforded or Yeah. I think

291
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:38.000
<v Speaker 2>everybody deserves an opportunity. Okay, that's why that's why you're

292
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:41.480
<v Speaker 2>here with me. Yeah, you need to survive today's show.

293
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:44.480
<v Speaker 3>Survive right right? There are things going in the real

294
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:47.240
<v Speaker 3>world with the real world stuff. Well you know what

295
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:48.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean. Listen.

296
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.440
<v Speaker 4>I think we've talked about this offline, but you know,

297
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.440
<v Speaker 4>with the political realm that we're in right now. From

298
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:55.720
<v Speaker 4>a funding standpoint, the state's trying to get their budget

299
00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:57.840
<v Speaker 4>done and we're just hanging on and waiting to see

300
00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:58.559
<v Speaker 4>what happens from that.

<v Speaker 3>Where is he?

435
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:45.039
<v Speaker 2>Because we didn't see him a whole heck of a lot,

436
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:46.319
<v Speaker 2>but we knew he had a lot of talent.

437
00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:49.200
<v Speaker 5>I missed I missed a little bit of half the

438
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:49.839
<v Speaker 5>party saying it.

439
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just about about Carter Bryant. You know, you've seen

440
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:55.680
<v Speaker 2>a number of one and done's uh, where does he

441
00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:57.519
<v Speaker 2>fit in that ones that you've seen?

442
00:19:57.960 --> 00:19:59.480
<v Speaker 3>And we didn't get to see him a heck of

443
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:01.000
<v Speaker 3>a lot, but we you know, he's has a lot

444
00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:01.400
<v Speaker 3>of talent.

445
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:05.640
<v Speaker 5>I mean, you know, first off, I mean, you know

446
00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:07.799
<v Speaker 5>and talk about the kids character, I mean, he has

447
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:11.799
<v Speaker 5>unbelievable character. He has unbelievable work ethic, and I think

448
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:14.799
<v Speaker 5>half the battle to even get to that level is

449
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:18.039
<v Speaker 5>one is your attitude, your work ethic, and you know,

450
00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:20.480
<v Speaker 5>how you take the game seriously. So he does do that.

451
00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:24.839
<v Speaker 5>And so athletically, I mean, he's just as athletic as

452
00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:28.440
<v Speaker 5>anybody you know. And I think as far as again,

453
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:30.039
<v Speaker 5>it just kind of goes back to his work that

454
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:32.880
<v Speaker 5>as far as just you know, as many times you know,

455
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:34.440
<v Speaker 5>he's that kid you got to get out the gym.

456
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:35.759
<v Speaker 5>I mean he's in there in the morning, he's in

457
00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:39.799
<v Speaker 5>there at night. He has his routine, you know, before practice,

458
00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:43.359
<v Speaker 5>before games. I mean, so you know he you know,

459
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:45.759
<v Speaker 5>you can just tell he has it.

460
00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:48.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, It's funny. Yesterday he was doing the interviews in

461
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:51.960
<v Speaker 2>New York. In that twelve minute interview, he said, yeah,

462
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:54.400
<v Speaker 2>he's he intended to be a two year guy. And

463
00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:56.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking, really, I thought you were just going to

464
00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:57.880
<v Speaker 2>be a one and done guy. And you know, it

465
00:20:57.920 --> 00:20:59.640
<v Speaker 2>turns out to be a one and done guy. But

466
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:02.759
<v Speaker 2>when you first saw him, whatever, maybe a year or

467
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:06.000
<v Speaker 2>two ago or even just now, did you see one

468
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:06.799
<v Speaker 2>of anne guy?

469
00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:10.160
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I think as far as you know, you

470
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:13.279
<v Speaker 5>see the trend of the NBA, as far as athleticism,

471
00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:17.240
<v Speaker 5>guys that can play multiple positions, you definitely thought that

472
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:20.759
<v Speaker 5>he definitely has the opportunity. Now it depends on you know,

473
00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:22.960
<v Speaker 5>where does he see himself, you know, where does he

474
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:25.319
<v Speaker 5>see himself in a year to two years, But definitely,

475
00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:31.200
<v Speaker 5>you know, body style, you know length, you definitely could

476
00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:33.559
<v Speaker 5>say that, you know, you know he has the opportunity

477
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:34.039
<v Speaker 5>to do that.

478
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, did he do anything initially that he said, Oh wow,

479
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:40.640
<v Speaker 2>this guy's got some talent because we saw him at

480
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:42.519
<v Speaker 2>the Red Blue Game and I think he won the

481
00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:45.200
<v Speaker 2>three point contest. There was this dude, say, winning the

482
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:47.039
<v Speaker 2>three point contest one and two.

483
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:49.400
<v Speaker 3>I think the dunk contest too.

484
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:51.279
<v Speaker 2>Well.

485
00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:52.960
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I think you know he did things a

486
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:55.559
<v Speaker 5>practice as far as you know, getting a high level

487
00:21:55.599 --> 00:22:00.799
<v Speaker 5>offensive rebound, chasing somebody down, getting the backside block, you know,

488
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:03.759
<v Speaker 5>making you know, making them move, getting off into rebound,

489
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:08.160
<v Speaker 5>tip dunk, you know, running in transition, making a high

490
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:11.720
<v Speaker 5>level athletic move to where you know Big Tom finished

491
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:14.279
<v Speaker 5>at the realm. So there definitely were Tom's early on

492
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:16.759
<v Speaker 5>where you saw things and in your mind you're saying

493
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:20.839
<v Speaker 5>he's a pro. Is just a matter of wind, Yeah.

494
00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:23.759
<v Speaker 3>The win, not the f right, Yeah, of course. And

495
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:24.160
<v Speaker 3>you're right.

496
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:26.359
<v Speaker 2>You talk about you know, you talk about people like

497
00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:28.720
<v Speaker 2>him or kids like him, and you say the first

498
00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:31.119
<v Speaker 2>thing you say, you know his character and his personality

499
00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:33.160
<v Speaker 2>and stuff like that. And I said this on the

500
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:34.759
<v Speaker 2>show a number of times, kind of like you and

501
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:35.200
<v Speaker 2>your mom.

502
00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:35.759
<v Speaker 11>Uh.

503
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:39.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, good kids are good kids because of their parents,

504
00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:41.359
<v Speaker 2>and you see that often because they come in right.

505
00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:46.720
<v Speaker 5>I mean, his family is an awesome family. I mean,

506
00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:50.400
<v Speaker 5>you know, you can tell he's been raised right, you

507
00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:53.720
<v Speaker 5>can tell. You know, you know, he has two sisters

508
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:56.559
<v Speaker 5>that are awesome as well. So just as far as

509
00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:01.000
<v Speaker 5>like mom dead, both the sisters, you know, family, very

510
00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:04.599
<v Speaker 5>supportive family. You know, they're at his events, He's at

511
00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:07.400
<v Speaker 5>their events, so you can kind of just tell that,

512
00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:10.119
<v Speaker 5>you know, just as far as just family wise, that

513
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:13.279
<v Speaker 5>you know they're they're they're a complete family.

514
00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:16.519
<v Speaker 4>Hey, Jason is Blake eager as a two son in man,

515
00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:18.279
<v Speaker 4>I just want to say thank you for everything you've

516
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:20.480
<v Speaker 4>done and the ability to what you did while you

517
00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:22.319
<v Speaker 4>were here playing wise, and then what you're doing from

518
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:24.519
<v Speaker 4>a coaching standpoint. So I'm going to ask you a

519
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:27.319
<v Speaker 4>homer question. What was it like for you when you

520
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:29.960
<v Speaker 4>came back to Tucson. Was it just completely open arms.

521
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:31.799
<v Speaker 4>Were you excited to be here or was it like

522
00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:33.799
<v Speaker 4>a transitional phase where you had to get used to

523
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:35.079
<v Speaker 4>being back in Tucson again.

524
00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:38.559
<v Speaker 5>No, it was It's like my second home. It was.

525
00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:43.039
<v Speaker 5>I was. I was excited. Uh you know, I didn't know,

526
00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:45.920
<v Speaker 5>you know, as far as like being back in community,

527
00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:48.079
<v Speaker 5>I didn't you know, you know, you've been away for

528
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:51.680
<v Speaker 5>a while. You know, I wasn't in the NBA, and

529
00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:53.720
<v Speaker 5>so you know, I didn't know how many people, you know,

530
00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:56.720
<v Speaker 5>I didn't really realize how many people would recognize me,

531
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:00.640
<v Speaker 5>you know, still giving me love. So that was just

532
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:03.240
<v Speaker 5>kind of awesome to you know. And I think now

533
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:05.559
<v Speaker 5>just being older, and I think sometimes when you're younger,

534
00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:07.519
<v Speaker 5>you know, you don't kind of pay attention as much.

535
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:09.400
<v Speaker 5>It's because you know, you're just always on the go, go,

536
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:12.319
<v Speaker 5>And so I even think, you know, just being back

537
00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:15.039
<v Speaker 5>here and even for my kids, and you know, and

538
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:17.839
<v Speaker 5>having a son that plays ball, even for him sometimes

539
00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:20.279
<v Speaker 5>I think he was even like dang dead, you know,

540
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:22.400
<v Speaker 5>I mean, just not being able to see me play

541
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:24.680
<v Speaker 5>and now seeing the love that you get. I think

542
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:26.559
<v Speaker 5>he was kind of excited about it.

543
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:29.359
<v Speaker 2>Man, what an incredible journey. That's that's amazing. How would

544
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:31.039
<v Speaker 2>people not know who you are? You played the most

545
00:24:31.119 --> 00:24:32.359
<v Speaker 2>minutes of anybody ever.

546
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:35.119
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know, you know, you don't know. I mean,

547
00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:36.799
<v Speaker 5>you know, you're gone for twenty years. You know, you

548
00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:37.799
<v Speaker 5>don't know how it's going to be.

549
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:41.000
<v Speaker 3>And so you know, play the most minutes, won a

550
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:41.799
<v Speaker 3>lot of games.

551
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:44.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you got to you know, got to the championship

552
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:45.440
<v Speaker 2>game and all that stuff.

553
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:47.920
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you're you're putting Jason up on Mount Rushmore.

554
00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:49.920
<v Speaker 4>We talked about that, like he's he's pretty close to

555
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:52.559
<v Speaker 4>be on that. Yeah yeah, yeah, Steve says you're not.

556
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:55.519
<v Speaker 4>I say you are, so just you just remember that

557
00:24:55.599 --> 00:25:01.880
<v Speaker 4>Jason better, Hey, Jason, so on an another note, it's

558
00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:05.440
<v Speaker 4>been unbelievable to watch UH Caleb Love grow over the

559
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:08.720
<v Speaker 4>last couple of seasons, especially becoming a true wildcat from

560
00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:11.799
<v Speaker 4>that transition in from UH from North Carolina.

561
00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:13.799
<v Speaker 3>What what's uh? I mean?

562
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:15.720
<v Speaker 4>I don't think there's a doubt that he can play

563
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:18.440
<v Speaker 4>in the NBA. Where do you think he falls? And

564
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:20.880
<v Speaker 4>having gone through that process, what do you think he's

565
00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:21.799
<v Speaker 4>going through right now?

566
00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:24.960
<v Speaker 5>You know, I think I think you know for a

567
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:27.920
<v Speaker 5>kid that again, you know, I will one thing about

568
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:30.720
<v Speaker 5>Tommy is I will say that Tommy doesn't really bring

569
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:33.680
<v Speaker 5>any knuckleheads. And so again to go back to a

570
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:38.680
<v Speaker 5>great character kid, a great family, very supportive family. And

571
00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:40.359
<v Speaker 5>then when you look at a kid like Caleb Love,

572
00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:43.240
<v Speaker 5>I mean in three different think about this, in three

573
00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:47.480
<v Speaker 5>different conferences, he's been a top five player ACC PAC twelve,

574
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:51.240
<v Speaker 5>Big twelve. So it was no doubt that, like in

575
00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:54.400
<v Speaker 5>three conferences he's been a top five player. He's definitely

576
00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:56.599
<v Speaker 5>NBA guy. Now where does he fall here in the

577
00:25:56.599 --> 00:25:58.759
<v Speaker 5>next two days? You know, I don't know, but I

578
00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:02.519
<v Speaker 5>definitely think that he's a NBA player without without no question.

579
00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:05.880
<v Speaker 2>It's funny you talked about knuckleheads and stuff. You were

580
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:08.119
<v Speaker 2>with the Loot for four years. I think now you've

581
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:11.279
<v Speaker 2>been with Tommy for four years, and we can kind

582
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:13.599
<v Speaker 2>of compare and contrast. But they're a lot alike because

583
00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:18.680
<v Speaker 2>of that, you know, coaching styles, letting guys play within reason,

584
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:19.440
<v Speaker 2>stuff like that.

585
00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:22.759
<v Speaker 5>Yes, yeah, I would say, you know, I mean one

586
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:27.759
<v Speaker 5>is always calm, always thinking of head, you know, never

587
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:32.759
<v Speaker 5>really reacting to certain situations. Great, great with the players,

588
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:36.319
<v Speaker 5>great with the families. Allow guys to be who they are,

589
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:40.119
<v Speaker 5>and very similar to Hey, you know, just play to

590
00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:43.599
<v Speaker 5>your strengths and in your weaknesses you have all some

591
00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:46.240
<v Speaker 5>of the work on those. So very similar I think.

592
00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:49.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no question in his demeanor as well, Like you said, yeah,

593
00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:53.400
<v Speaker 2>back to Caleb, are you surprised? I think I asked

594
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:57.319
<v Speaker 2>Tommy two weeks ago about his chances for Caleb, and

595
00:26:57.359 --> 00:26:58.880
<v Speaker 2>he says, Oh, he's a pro, he's gonna be He's

596
00:26:58.920 --> 00:27:00.599
<v Speaker 2>gonna make it. And you know, we kind of you know,

597
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:04.400
<v Speaker 2>there's not a lot of teams or or mock drafts

598
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:05.160
<v Speaker 2>to have him up there.

599
00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:07.920
<v Speaker 3>What is he gonna have to do? Be just more

600
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:10.519
<v Speaker 3>consistent offensively or what is it?

601
00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:14.119
<v Speaker 5>No, you know, I think everybody's process is different. I

602
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:16.400
<v Speaker 5>think and then for him, I mean again, you know,

603
00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:20.119
<v Speaker 5>from the differ the different defenses he's faced, from a

604
00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:23.200
<v Speaker 5>box and one to you know, trapping him off the

605
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:26.720
<v Speaker 5>ball screens, to you know, putting three four different guys

606
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:27.200
<v Speaker 5>on him.

607
00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:27.720
<v Speaker 11>You know.

608
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:31.000
<v Speaker 5>You know, I just think he has to stay of

609
00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:33.200
<v Speaker 5>the course. And I think that's just you know, being

610
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:36.240
<v Speaker 5>ready when an opportunity comes. I mean, he's an elite scorer.

611
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:38.799
<v Speaker 5>I mean, he can he can attack the rim, you know,

612
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:40.960
<v Speaker 5>he can shoot the three, you know. And actually, I

613
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:42.720
<v Speaker 5>think what people really don't know is because he's been

614
00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:44.799
<v Speaker 5>a scorer his whole life, is that, you know, he's

615
00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:47.680
<v Speaker 5>actually a really good passer off the dribble. So I

616
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:49.640
<v Speaker 5>just think it's one of those opportunities. He just always

617
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:51.799
<v Speaker 5>gonna have to just be ready when that time comes.

618
00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:53.480
<v Speaker 5>He has to be ready. And then I think he's

619
00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:54.200
<v Speaker 5>gonna get a stick.

620
00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you have you you were with Gilbert and some

621
00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:02.079
<v Speaker 2>of these other guys, Richard, I know he's not them,

622
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:04.880
<v Speaker 2>but do you have a comp that you can compare

623
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:05.599
<v Speaker 2>Caleb to.

624
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:09.640
<v Speaker 3>M You know, it's tough.

625
00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:13.119
<v Speaker 5>I mean it's tough, you know, I mean, I guess,

626
00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:16.559
<v Speaker 5>you know, I'm kind of thinking more of a calib Reeves, right.

627
00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:20.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, a big, strong body, yes to the hoop, can score.

628
00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:23.039
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know a little in between a Dickerson and

629
00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:25.480
<v Speaker 5>you know Dickerson Reeves, you know.

630
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:29.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no in between, yeah, because he's not a big body,

631
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:30.440
<v Speaker 2>but he's a strong body.

632
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:32.640
<v Speaker 3>And Dickerson had that first step.

633
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:36.039
<v Speaker 5>Strong body and a guy and a guy that you

634
00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:38.079
<v Speaker 5>know like Reeves. I thought Reeves could really fill it

635
00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:41.519
<v Speaker 5>up and in Caleb and you know, on any given night,

636
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:43.680
<v Speaker 5>I mean, he can literally take over any game.

637
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:44.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know what.

638
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:47.599
<v Speaker 2>The one thing about Caleb, he had this fantastic year

639
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:51.160
<v Speaker 2>last last year, his first year here, first team All American,

640
00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:53.440
<v Speaker 2>and then this year he kind of started off slow

641
00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:55.599
<v Speaker 2>and then he built steam. He's one of those guys

642
00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:57.720
<v Speaker 2>that I think people were saying, I don't know, I

643
00:28:57.759 --> 00:28:59.920
<v Speaker 2>don't know about Caleb. But then in the last month

644
00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:03.000
<v Speaker 2>or so, maybe a little bit longer, he endured himself

645
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.079
<v Speaker 2>and the fans just refell in love with him again. Well.

646
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:09.079
<v Speaker 5>I just think though that you know, you know, when

647
00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:11.440
<v Speaker 5>you go through this process, and you know, last year,

648
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:13.519
<v Speaker 5>I think he came back and I think he was

649
00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:16.359
<v Speaker 5>trying to prove to everybody, you know what, you know

650
00:29:16.440 --> 00:29:18.359
<v Speaker 5>what he needs to do instead of sometimes I think

651
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:22.039
<v Speaker 5>that you know, just not overthinking you know, different things

652
00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:24.559
<v Speaker 5>and what people think and how people feel about you.

653
00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:26.279
<v Speaker 5>You know, again, people are gonna love and hate you,

654
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:28.720
<v Speaker 5>and you know, people are gonna criticize their game. And

655
00:29:28.759 --> 00:29:31.480
<v Speaker 5>so I think early on he was trying to, you know,

656
00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:34.960
<v Speaker 5>be the perfect Caleb Love. And and there's no perfect

657
00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:36.440
<v Speaker 5>Caleb Love. You know, we're all going to you know,

658
00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:39.319
<v Speaker 5>you know, have you know a game here there, and

659
00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:41.720
<v Speaker 5>let me do this to prove this person wrong. And

660
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:43.720
<v Speaker 5>so I just think as long as he just keeps

661
00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:47.279
<v Speaker 5>being him, you know, being the being the scorer that

662
00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:50.519
<v Speaker 5>he is, you know, he he's you know, in two years,

663
00:29:50.519 --> 00:29:54.240
<v Speaker 5>he became a better defender, you know, even you know,

664
00:29:54.279 --> 00:29:56.839
<v Speaker 5>he started turning down shots to you know, have the

665
00:29:56.920 --> 00:29:58.759
<v Speaker 5>ball move to get it back in his hands. So

666
00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:02.119
<v Speaker 5>even the maturit, you know, he showed that you know

667
00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:05.400
<v Speaker 5>that that he that he that he changed his game.

668
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:09.240
<v Speaker 4>Jason, from the from the time you were here to

669
00:30:09.319 --> 00:30:12.079
<v Speaker 4>the time you got back. What's something that you've learned

670
00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:14.559
<v Speaker 4>along the way and along the road that you try

671
00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:18.319
<v Speaker 4>to pass along to these young men stepping into this program.

672
00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:21.759
<v Speaker 5>I think probably just enjoying a moment, I think you

673
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:24.119
<v Speaker 5>get so caught up and just you know, you want

674
00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:25.519
<v Speaker 5>to be on the go, You want to be in

675
00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:28.519
<v Speaker 5>a hurry, you thinking about the next you know, game,

676
00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:31.480
<v Speaker 5>the next practice, the next month. You know, what if this,

677
00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:33.960
<v Speaker 5>what if that? And so I just you know, just

678
00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:35.920
<v Speaker 5>try to tell the guys to just pay attention to

679
00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:38.839
<v Speaker 5>the moment, enjoy the moment, because you know, it goes

680
00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:40.599
<v Speaker 5>so fast and the next thing, you know, whether you

681
00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:43.480
<v Speaker 5>here a year, two years, three years, four years, it's gone,

682
00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:45.599
<v Speaker 5>and so you know, and then you always look back.

683
00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:47.640
<v Speaker 5>I wish I had one more game of McHale. I

684
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:49.440
<v Speaker 5>would love to be playing a Michale. I would love

685
00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:51.559
<v Speaker 5>to go back to sign this autograph. I love to

686
00:30:51.559 --> 00:30:54.000
<v Speaker 5>be back with these guys on the bus on the trip.

687
00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:56.640
<v Speaker 5>So really it's just trying to really just enjoy the

688
00:30:56.759 --> 00:30:59.519
<v Speaker 5>moment and just quit trying to, you know, quit trying

689
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:01.799
<v Speaker 5>to be on the fast track of what's happening next

690
00:31:01.839 --> 00:31:05.000
<v Speaker 5>month or three months from now, you know, So just

691
00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:05.720
<v Speaker 5>enjoy the moment.

692
00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:08.279
<v Speaker 2>You know, as you as you talk and as I remember,

693
00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:09.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm probably incorrect with this.

694
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:13.240
<v Speaker 3>You you do you declared for the NBA. Uh I

695
00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:15.279
<v Speaker 3>think after your junior year or sophomore year.

696
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Did you declared twice or one sophomore year software year

697
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:21.720
<v Speaker 2>and you came back? Do you do you look at it?

698
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:24.839
<v Speaker 2>Does Jayden Bradley, who's a different guard than you were.

699
00:31:24.920 --> 00:31:27.720
<v Speaker 2>You were more of a facilitator, well, a leader type

700
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:29.920
<v Speaker 2>of guy, and Jayden's that too, but more of a

701
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:33.920
<v Speaker 2>less of a score. Is your his situation similar to

702
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:37.240
<v Speaker 2>yours where he's gone to see and he came back,

703
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:38.920
<v Speaker 2>and then he's gone to see and came back.

704
00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:42.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. I mean I think I think it's good, you know,

705
00:31:42.680 --> 00:31:45.680
<v Speaker 5>to get out there challenge yourself. I think it's good

706
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:48.000
<v Speaker 5>to get feedback on you know, what you need to

707
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:48.359
<v Speaker 5>work on.

708
00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:49.160
<v Speaker 8>Uh.

709
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:50.960
<v Speaker 5>I think it's good to kind of be in these

710
00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:54.240
<v Speaker 5>workouts and you know, in the summertime, you're going against

711
00:31:54.359 --> 00:31:56.640
<v Speaker 5>NBA guys and you're you know, trying to figure out,

712
00:31:57.119 --> 00:31:58.640
<v Speaker 5>you know, how can I guard them, how can I

713
00:31:58.680 --> 00:32:00.279
<v Speaker 5>get by them, how can I get my shot? What

714
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:02.759
<v Speaker 5>can I learn? So I think all that's a positive

715
00:32:03.279 --> 00:32:05.359
<v Speaker 5>and I think that, you know, and we even talked

716
00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:08.000
<v Speaker 5>today and I told him, hey, you know, uh, you know,

717
00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:10.880
<v Speaker 5>seeing him seeing him in practice, is that this is

718
00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:14.480
<v Speaker 5>this is the most you know, Uh, this is the

719
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:16.119
<v Speaker 5>best that I've seen him since he's been here. And

720
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:18.960
<v Speaker 5>so just even a mentality for him and what he

721
00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:21.400
<v Speaker 5>wants to do, what he's trying to accomplish. You can

722
00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:24.839
<v Speaker 5>tell that the maturity wise for him, as even the

723
00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:27.319
<v Speaker 5>way he talks, the way he carries himself. So I

724
00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:29.160
<v Speaker 5>think he's gonna be I think he's gonna have a

725
00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:29.880
<v Speaker 5>big year this year.

726
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:31.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, No, so do I.

727
00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:34.680
<v Speaker 2>So do I Because you be older, he'll know whose

728
00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:37.759
<v Speaker 2>teammates are. You know, it's after playing all these designment

729
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:40.000
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna have a fantastic guys group coming in.

730
00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:42.119
<v Speaker 8>Uh.

731
00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:43.599
<v Speaker 5>And you know he's gonna be a leader. I mean

732
00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:45.359
<v Speaker 5>you know he's this is gonna be his third year

733
00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:49.160
<v Speaker 5>in the system. Uh. And so the balls in his hands,

734
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:51.279
<v Speaker 5>you know, he's our you know, he's our leader, he's

735
00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:55.319
<v Speaker 5>our tapping, he's our PG. So you know he's you know,

736
00:32:55.400 --> 00:32:56.880
<v Speaker 5>on both ends of the floor. I mean, you know

737
00:32:56.920 --> 00:32:59.759
<v Speaker 5>what people don't realize about JB either is that he's

738
00:32:59.799 --> 00:33:01.920
<v Speaker 5>a head of a defensive player and he has a

739
00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:05.079
<v Speaker 5>knack for the ball, whether you know, a rebound comes off,

740
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:07.839
<v Speaker 5>somebody's driving, someone's about to make a pass, like he's

741
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:10.839
<v Speaker 5>always around the ball. So I think that, you know,

742
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:13.319
<v Speaker 5>as far as leadership wise, I think he's ready. I

743
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:15.960
<v Speaker 5>think he's prepared. And again, just seeing him from when

744
00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:19.160
<v Speaker 5>he first got here to now, like night and day.

745
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:22.359
<v Speaker 4>Kid Jason was this was this new team coming in,

746
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:25.480
<v Speaker 4>new recruits coming in. Uh, some of the returning players

747
00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:27.480
<v Speaker 4>be on the floor. I know it's a small sample size,

748
00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:30.319
<v Speaker 4>but what what can you talk about this with with

749
00:33:30.359 --> 00:33:31.000
<v Speaker 4>this new group?

750
00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:35.240
<v Speaker 5>I think, you know, we we we can we can

751
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:38.319
<v Speaker 5>play big, we can play small. I think Tommy can

752
00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:42.519
<v Speaker 5>throw a lot of different lineups out there, you know,

753
00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:46.079
<v Speaker 5>I think we I think we have. I think we're

754
00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:49.480
<v Speaker 5>gonna be a really good shooting three point team, you know,

755
00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:53.079
<v Speaker 5>from all all different positions. So I think that I

756
00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:55.319
<v Speaker 5>think from just throwing like a small lineup out there,

757
00:33:55.400 --> 00:33:58.119
<v Speaker 5>big lineup out there, and also to being able to

758
00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:00.279
<v Speaker 5>shoot the three, is gonna be I think it's gonna

759
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:01.039
<v Speaker 5>be good for us.

760
00:34:01.400 --> 00:34:03.599
<v Speaker 2>So I would hate to ade you a little bit,

761
00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:07.000
<v Speaker 2>but it's been twenty four years since you and Gilbert

762
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:09.239
<v Speaker 2>were rowing the back court back in the day. Does

763
00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:12.199
<v Speaker 2>it feel that long? And who would have thought Gilbert's

764
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:15.920
<v Speaker 2>goofiness and craziness has got him to be a podcaster

765
00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:17.440
<v Speaker 2>that's very successful.

766
00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:21.199
<v Speaker 5>Well, you know, it was crazy, you know, Gilbert, Gilbert

767
00:34:21.239 --> 00:34:23.880
<v Speaker 5>actually has he actually had a couple of businesses that

768
00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:27.199
<v Speaker 5>he sold. He was always you know, he's just I

769
00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:29.079
<v Speaker 5>just think, you know, I just remember him telling me that,

770
00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:31.840
<v Speaker 5>you know, people in life should just be happy and

771
00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:34.480
<v Speaker 5>enjoy life. And so I think that's how he takes life.

772
00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:38.159
<v Speaker 5>And you know, even looking at him now and looking

773
00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:40.960
<v Speaker 5>back at you know, some practices in the dorm room

774
00:34:41.119 --> 00:34:43.800
<v Speaker 5>in the apartment of you know, how he was, I

775
00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:46.000
<v Speaker 5>think he's still how he is now, and it's just

776
00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:49.079
<v Speaker 5>bigger platform. I think he means well. I think he's

777
00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:51.719
<v Speaker 5>a great person. I think he'd do anything for anybody.

778
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:54.760
<v Speaker 5>But I mean and and and personality wise, no matter

779
00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:57.400
<v Speaker 5>what you're going through, I mean, the dude is gonna

780
00:34:57.400 --> 00:34:57.880
<v Speaker 5>make you laugh.

781
00:34:59.079 --> 00:35:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm sure you get. We had some crazy times

782
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:02.519
<v Speaker 2>and back in the day, those were the fun times.

783
00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:05.039
<v Speaker 2>With what I think, and I still say to this day,

784
00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:08.760
<v Speaker 2>the best team that Arizona has ever had, would you Gilbert,

785
00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:11.800
<v Speaker 2>Luke Richard and Michael Wright, Lauren Woods. We had Lauren

786
00:35:11.800 --> 00:35:15.559
<v Speaker 2>Woods maybe a three weeks ago. He's fantastic and those guys,

787
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:17.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you won't argue that.

788
00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:21.159
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I mean, come on, I mean, Lauren Woods

789
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:23.079
<v Speaker 5>is the best shot blocker in the country. I mean

790
00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:25.960
<v Speaker 5>I remember at times where you know, we just denied

791
00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:27.800
<v Speaker 5>the wings and we got beat. We just send you

792
00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:29.760
<v Speaker 5>to Lauren. I remember he told us one time, like, hey,

793
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:32.519
<v Speaker 5>just get by the elbow and when I block it,

794
00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:35.119
<v Speaker 5>just pick it up. And so, you know, being young,

795
00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:37.800
<v Speaker 5>I'm thinking, I don't know about this, and I'll be darn.

796
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:40.440
<v Speaker 5>I mean, the dude literally he raced every shot. And

797
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:43.199
<v Speaker 5>then Michael Wright, I mean he was a monster on

798
00:35:43.239 --> 00:35:46.280
<v Speaker 5>that block. And with Gilbert Richard, I mean those two

799
00:35:46.320 --> 00:35:48.800
<v Speaker 5>wings and Luke you know, can come in and play

800
00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:52.199
<v Speaker 5>any position hand on the ball. I mean, it's just unfortunate.

801
00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:54.320
<v Speaker 5>You know, we got there, but we didn't finish it.

802
00:35:54.559 --> 00:35:56.559
<v Speaker 5>But I think obviously we finished it. I think, yes,

803
00:35:56.760 --> 00:35:59.239
<v Speaker 5>you could probably say that we're at one of those

804
00:35:59.239 --> 00:36:00.000
<v Speaker 5>top three teams.

805
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we'll talk to you, Okay, I still have the

806
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:05.599
<v Speaker 2>number one and maybe final question, uh with uh. With Williams,

807
00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:07.079
<v Speaker 2>you've seen him a number of times. I think he

808
00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:09.519
<v Speaker 2>even took a took a Selphie with him not too

809
00:36:09.559 --> 00:36:12.000
<v Speaker 2>long ago. He admitted that it was a foul, but

810
00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:14.440
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't called. Did he admit it to you as

811
00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:15.079
<v Speaker 2>a foul?

812
00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:17.480
<v Speaker 3>He did admit it was a foul.

813
00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:20.639
<v Speaker 5>Clearly it was a foul just for me straddling me,

814
00:36:21.119 --> 00:36:23.719
<v Speaker 5>you know, And so third foul in the first half.

815
00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:26.119
<v Speaker 5>You know, who knows how that game goes. So it's

816
00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:27.800
<v Speaker 5>just crazy. You know, you walk in McHale, you see

817
00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:29.760
<v Speaker 5>those banners, and you know, it's just crazy.

818
00:36:29.800 --> 00:36:30.119
<v Speaker 3>I think.

819
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:33.400
<v Speaker 5>So, you know, I don't know what's that twenty four

820
00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:36.639
<v Speaker 5>to twenty six years ago. You know, I'm replaying He'll

821
00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:39.639
<v Speaker 5>straddling me in the game thinking that should be not

822
00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:42.480
<v Speaker 5>row runner up, that should be a championship manner right there.

823
00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:46.639
<v Speaker 2>So it's just crazy, right, no question. Jason, Thanks a bunch, man.

824
00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:48.280
<v Speaker 2>It's always good just to talk to you. We'll see

825
00:36:48.320 --> 00:36:51.400
<v Speaker 2>you soon, all right, thank you? All right, Jason Gardner,

826
00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:54.440
<v Speaker 2>you ve no need to say much more. He's one

827
00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:56.880
<v Speaker 2>of the great ones. Yeah, absolutely, yeah. I mean you

828
00:36:56.920 --> 00:36:58.800
<v Speaker 2>can't deny I mean what he was able to do.

829
00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:01.119
<v Speaker 2>And you know, going back on I know we talked

830
00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:03.000
<v Speaker 2>about the different teams of my favorite teams and all

831
00:37:03.039 --> 00:37:05.880
<v Speaker 2>those things. That two thousand and one team was absolutely sacked.

832
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely the most talented team. I used

833
00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:11.880
<v Speaker 2>to write when I wrote histories, mister big shot because

834
00:37:11.880 --> 00:37:14.159
<v Speaker 2>he always used to hit a big shot. At some point,

835
00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:18.119
<v Speaker 2>that team just just loaded, just loaded characters too, with

836
00:37:18.320 --> 00:37:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Gilbert leading the way.

837
00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:23.719
<v Speaker 3>Crazy yeah, crazy stuff. What's your what's your fondest memory

838
00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:24.320
<v Speaker 3>of that group?

839
00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:27.199
<v Speaker 4>Like not not the games, but like just being in

840
00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:29.119
<v Speaker 4>that because you were so close to that group.

841
00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:29.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

842
00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:32.719
<v Speaker 2>So so two that was that was a strange, difficult,

843
00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:35.960
<v Speaker 2>fun time. And I'll say the difficult part that was

844
00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:39.719
<v Speaker 2>the year Bobby passed. Yeah, Lute stepped away. Uh, Lut

845
00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:43.480
<v Speaker 2>stepped away for a while. May two, three weeks after

846
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:47.039
<v Speaker 2>her passing, Jim Rosbell took over. Struggled a little, but

847
00:37:47.079 --> 00:37:48.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, kind of had him on the right path.

848
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Luke comes back. I think they won thirteenth straight, and

849
00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:55.039
<v Speaker 2>just how they banded together after struggling and not having

850
00:37:55.159 --> 00:37:59.159
<v Speaker 2>their guy, Yeah, and missus Olsen there, Uh, and then

851
00:37:59.239 --> 00:37:59.920
<v Speaker 2>just catching fire.

852
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:01.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean that's where they were.

853
00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:04.079
<v Speaker 2>They were the it was Duke or Arizona, Arizona or

854
00:38:04.159 --> 00:38:06.719
<v Speaker 2>Duke in the polls, and eventually they ended up playing

855
00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:10.719
<v Speaker 2>each other in Minnesota. Just just Gilbert was always getting

856
00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:12.400
<v Speaker 2>into trouble, so you know, we always had something to

857
00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:15.039
<v Speaker 2>write about, and we didn't have the media access like

858
00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:17.239
<v Speaker 2>today we had every day. We can go there every day,

859
00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:19.679
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, and Luke didn't like that, but he's always

860
00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:21.400
<v Speaker 2>answering questions and a lot of have to do with

861
00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:24.719
<v Speaker 2>Gilbert because he was alway getting in trouble or saying

862
00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:26.639
<v Speaker 2>some stuff you know that we were quoting him on

863
00:38:26.719 --> 00:38:29.679
<v Speaker 2>and him denying it, but he was actually, you know,

864
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Gilbert is Gilbert. Uh. And then then just good dudes,

865
00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:36.239
<v Speaker 2>you know Richard when he was on and Luke. Luke

866
00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:38.599
<v Speaker 2>was fantastic one of my favorite all time players because

867
00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:41.519
<v Speaker 2>he's just a good dude. Bill and Sue his parents

868
00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:44.960
<v Speaker 2>raised the Waltons. Do you see the Walton about four

869
00:38:46.280 --> 00:38:46.840
<v Speaker 2>just just.

870
00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:49.559
<v Speaker 3>A family there. You wish you wish you were kind

871
00:38:49.559 --> 00:38:50.000
<v Speaker 3>of part of.

872
00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:52.320
<v Speaker 4>Well when they when they're going through that process, they're

873
00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:54.519
<v Speaker 4>talking about like you know, because he all you think

874
00:38:54.519 --> 00:38:56.320
<v Speaker 4>about with Bill is that he's just as a happy,

875
00:38:56.320 --> 00:38:58.440
<v Speaker 4>go lucky guy. But to the point where he was

876
00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:00.239
<v Speaker 4>so depressed, it was like this is it and you

877
00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:02.800
<v Speaker 4>wouldn't think that, you would never think that about But

878
00:39:03.159 --> 00:39:06.599
<v Speaker 4>then hearing his children talk about the different circumstances going

879
00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:08.760
<v Speaker 4>through the NBA, just being around the family and the.

880
00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:12.639

953
00:43:07.159 --> 00:43:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, a lot of things going on to replacement, right, Yeah,

954
00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:11.719
<v Speaker 2>lots of stuff. We just took a call earlier about

955
00:43:11.719 --> 00:43:17.920
<v Speaker 2>a potential My mom would love to hear this reality show.

956
00:43:18.239 --> 00:43:22.079
<v Speaker 2>So cool, see what happens cool Tucson. I was, I

957
00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:24.119
<v Speaker 2>don't know how you'll depend this because you're probably half two,

958
00:43:24.400 --> 00:43:31.599
<v Speaker 2>but Mike and like, uh, Chris, Chris, my crazy better

959
00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:33.800
<v Speaker 2>guy came in here and we're talking about food and

960
00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:38.159
<v Speaker 2>food and Tucsons food in Albuquerque in New Mexico. Yes,

961
00:43:38.480 --> 00:43:41.400
<v Speaker 2>which is better, You're gonna say to Song, probably because

962
00:43:41.719 --> 00:43:44.599
<v Speaker 2>you mean like food as a whole, two Sons is

963
00:43:44.599 --> 00:43:46.400
<v Speaker 2>way better than Alberque. It's not even the same question.

964
00:43:46.400 --> 00:43:48.800
<v Speaker 2>If you're talking about Mexican food, that's a completely okay,

965
00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:51.639
<v Speaker 2>but overall food to Song blows out.

966
00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:54.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm always going to choose two Song. I think

967
00:43:54.480 --> 00:43:56.679
<v Speaker 4>it's an orn. Mexican food is my favorite that I've

968
00:43:56.679 --> 00:43:59.360
<v Speaker 4>ever had in the world. So, but cases can be

969
00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:02.920
<v Speaker 4>made for others, other things diplomatic. I mean, look, you're

970
00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:05.280
<v Speaker 4>a homer for Albuquerque, and I'm going to be you

971
00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:05.559
<v Speaker 4>know what.

972
00:44:05.519 --> 00:44:07.639
<v Speaker 2>Maybe maybe you correct in the sense that I don't

973
00:44:07.639 --> 00:44:09.800
<v Speaker 2>get to eat it very often, so I miss it

974
00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:14.039
<v Speaker 2>that way. But but the difference is very pronounced. Yeah,

975
00:44:15.480 --> 00:44:17.000
<v Speaker 2>it's the same argument. I think we all can get

976
00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:19.000
<v Speaker 2>on the board that tax Mexicans shouldn't even be considered

977
00:44:19.079 --> 00:44:19.679
<v Speaker 2>Mexican food.

978
00:44:20.159 --> 00:44:20.400
<v Speaker 15>Uh.

979
00:44:20.440 --> 00:44:22.719
<v Speaker 4>And then Baja is a different category in itself that

980
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:25.760
<v Speaker 4>California's will never emit any other, like dealing with I

981
00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:27.760
<v Speaker 4>don't know about you, but dealing with nor Cal or

982
00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:31.280
<v Speaker 4>so so cow guys, Like, nothing is ever going to

983
00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:33.840
<v Speaker 4>be better than what California has, right, But our Mexican

984
00:44:33.840 --> 00:44:37.360
<v Speaker 4>food and in New Mexico and in Arizona is better

985
00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:39.880
<v Speaker 4>than Baja. It's just different. Sure, I like last CRUs

986
00:44:39.960 --> 00:44:42.039
<v Speaker 4>is more like Alburquerque. That's just my own.

987
00:44:41.920 --> 00:44:43.920
<v Speaker 3>Okay, it's kind of the same. Let's say I'm.

988
00:44:44.400 --> 00:44:47.519
<v Speaker 2>Northern New Mexico's a little different. Yeah, okay, I won't

989
00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:49.320
<v Speaker 2>go into that. But do you agree with me? Like

990
00:44:49.559 --> 00:44:53.920
<v Speaker 2>overall food Tucson is much better. Uh, I don't know

991
00:44:53.960 --> 00:44:56.400
<v Speaker 2>because I don't eat. Albuquerque is not a favorite place

992
00:44:56.440 --> 00:44:57.280
<v Speaker 2>for Mina pis.

993
00:44:57.760 --> 00:44:59.880
<v Speaker 3>Uh there next week, you are too, right?

994
00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:00.400
<v Speaker 8>Uh?

995
00:45:00.719 --> 00:45:02.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, I'm going to Denver. Oh yeah, that's right,

996
00:45:02.360 --> 00:45:05.000
<v Speaker 3>you're going to I'm going to stay. Oh are you

997
00:45:05.360 --> 00:45:05.719

00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:06.519
<v Speaker 1>Well?

999
00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:09.199
<v Speaker 4>I want to drive by your your home, your childhood home,

1000
00:45:09.239 --> 00:45:10.800
<v Speaker 4>so I could ate it, and then I'm going to

1001
00:45:10.840 --> 00:45:12.519
<v Speaker 4>go relax, and then I'm gonna do the same thing

1002
00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:13.079
<v Speaker 4>the next day.

1003
00:45:13.199 --> 00:45:14.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Yeah, you have no idea.

1004
00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:16.760
<v Speaker 2>I was there two years ago and now we're getting

1005
00:45:16.760 --> 00:45:19.440
<v Speaker 2>off well with you and I get off the road here,

1006
00:45:19.800 --> 00:45:22.360
<v Speaker 2>do we have a specific sepet? No? No? So I

1007
00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:25.599
<v Speaker 2>went home, uh to visit some friends, and I went

1008
00:45:25.639 --> 00:45:27.480
<v Speaker 2>home and blah blah blah. My mom sold her house

1009
00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:29.639
<v Speaker 2>a while back, and I went back and they sold

1010
00:45:29.800 --> 00:45:33.760
<v Speaker 2>for unbelievable price. And I'm thinking, Mom, why I had

1011
00:45:33.760 --> 00:45:36.000
<v Speaker 2>you was staying there a little while longer. But I'm thinking,

1012
00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:37.519
<v Speaker 2>there's no way I would have bought that at my

1013
00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:40.440
<v Speaker 2>own house for that price. Yeah, you know, And it's

1014
00:45:40.639 --> 00:45:43.480
<v Speaker 2>just the staving home, and it's like, holy crap, it's wild,

1015
00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:46.159
<v Speaker 2>Holy crap. I don't know how anybody affords buying a

1016
00:45:46.199 --> 00:45:47.679
<v Speaker 2>new home right now. I know, I mean, I know

1017
00:45:49.079 --> 00:45:52.079
<v Speaker 2>the problem that you have is it's just anyway that's

00:47:41.119 --> 00:47:43.360
<v Speaker 4>going to go back and then end up making that

1066
00:47:43.519 --> 00:47:44.559
<v Speaker 4>choice to go back.

00:47:45.599 --> 00:47:47.599
<v Speaker 3>Were you a sophomore junior? I was going.

1068

1071
00:47:57.920 --> 00:48:00.679

1072
00:48:00.719 --> 00:48:03.599
<v Speaker 4>north Woods League again, and then I just didn't for

1073
00:48:03.679 --> 00:48:06.159
<v Speaker 4>some reason. I wasn't going back, and or if I

1074
00:48:06.239 --> 00:48:07.920
<v Speaker 4>was going back, I was gonna I was gonna have.

1075
00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:09.440
<v Speaker 4>I was gonna have this other guy that didn't play

1076
00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:12.519
<v Speaker 4>baseball as a roommate, this guy from Pueblo, Colorado, and

1077
00:48:13.239 --> 00:48:15.719
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, went sideways our friendship or whatever it is.

1078
00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:18.360
<v Speaker 4>So I showed up to like literally, my mom went

1079
00:48:18.440 --> 00:48:20.960
<v Speaker 4>with me to Denver because I had no place to live. Like,

1080
00:48:21.039 --> 00:48:22.599
<v Speaker 4>I didn't have an apartment, I had nothing.

1081
00:48:22.719 --> 00:48:25.599
<v Speaker 2>Your funnel year, my senior year, right, So the only

1082
00:48:25.639 --> 00:48:27.800
<v Speaker 2>place that we could find from an like in a

1083
00:48:27.920 --> 00:48:31.360
<v Speaker 2>price range that was affordable enough was an Aurora and

1084
00:48:31.480 --> 00:48:33.639
<v Speaker 2>it was this little apartment, which they were great.

1085
00:48:33.840 --> 00:48:36.039
<v Speaker 3>I just didn't like. I was like thirty minutes away

1086
00:48:36.079 --> 00:48:38.559
<v Speaker 3>from my friends and even farther from campus.

1087
00:48:39.199 --> 00:48:39.320
<v Speaker 11>Uh.

1088
00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:42.199
<v Speaker 4>So I didn't even buy a bed. I just me

1089
00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:43.880
<v Speaker 4>and my buddies went and bought a couch. So I

1090
00:48:44.039 --> 00:48:46.079
<v Speaker 4>slept on a couch for like the first month I

1091
00:48:46.239 --> 00:48:48.320
<v Speaker 4>was there, and then I ended up.

1092
00:48:48.440 --> 00:48:48.559
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

1093
00:48:49.159 --> 00:48:51.199
<v Speaker 4>We had these three guys that were juniors that year,

1094
00:48:51.280 --> 00:48:53.679
<v Speaker 4>two of them, uh, one was from Douglas, one was

1095
00:48:53.679 --> 00:48:56.039
<v Speaker 4>from Tucson, one was from Las Vegas, and we ended

1096
00:48:56.079 --> 00:48:58.119
<v Speaker 4>up just becoming best friends, right, so I ended up

1097
00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:00.480
<v Speaker 4>moving into their house, lived in there. They gave me

1098
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:02.239
<v Speaker 4>their dining room. I threw a bed on the floor,

1099
00:49:02.679 --> 00:49:05.480
<v Speaker 4>really classy, like this place was super do your dude's

1100
00:49:05.719 --> 00:49:08.840
<v Speaker 4>we had any greatest apartment though, So yeah, yeah, so

1101
00:49:08.920 --> 00:49:11.239
<v Speaker 4>I wasn't fond of Aurora, but I was super fun.

1102
00:49:11.320 --> 00:49:12.599
<v Speaker 3>That's that's like one of the greatest.

1103
00:49:12.679 --> 00:49:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Ye.

1104
00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:14.599
<v Speaker 3>Whyouldn't you have gone back if you want you get

1105
00:49:14.639 --> 00:49:15.119
<v Speaker 3>to play ball.

1106
00:49:15.639 --> 00:49:16.880
<v Speaker 4>I think I had in my mind that I was

1107
00:49:16.880 --> 00:49:19.320
<v Speaker 4>probably gonna transfer somewhere else well, because when I was

1108
00:49:19.360 --> 00:49:21.440
<v Speaker 4>in the Northwoods League, you had access to that Midwest

1109
00:49:21.519 --> 00:49:23.840
<v Speaker 4>so University of Annoying some other schools that I just

1110
00:49:23.880 --> 00:49:25.000
<v Speaker 4>wanted to go to that I had a lot of

1111
00:49:25.039 --> 00:49:25.519
<v Speaker 4>friends out and.

1112
00:49:25.519 --> 00:49:26.360
<v Speaker 3>Nobody came calling.

1113
00:49:26.880 --> 00:49:28.199
<v Speaker 4>They did, But I even at the end of the

1114
00:49:28.280 --> 00:49:30.639
<v Speaker 4>day metro Plate, I mean I should I guess I

1115
00:49:30.679 --> 00:49:32.559
<v Speaker 4>can say this now. They paid me to go there, right,

1116
00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:35.400
<v Speaker 4>it was the best scholarship you could ever imagine. And

1117
00:49:35.559 --> 00:49:38.320
<v Speaker 4>I was going to say that because you it's fine school.

1118
00:49:38.400 --> 00:49:41.280

1119
00:49:41.320 --> 00:49:42.800
<v Speaker 4>a D two, but it's a huge school.

1120
00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:45.480
<v Speaker 2>It's downtown Denver. That yeah, and if they're going to

1121
00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:47.800
<v Speaker 2>pay your school. I mean, come on, there's no better thing.

1122
00:49:47.960 --> 00:49:50.920

1123
00:49:50.920 --> 00:49:53.400
<v Speaker 4>anybody on blast by saying that it's pretty hard to find.

1124
00:49:53.440 --> 00:49:55.599
