And because like anything really realistically below 427 00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:10.599 like seventy two, I'm free them. 428 00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:13.400 Yeah. We talked to the Colorado Beat right right, and 429 00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:15.799 he says it was fourteen below and cold level. 430 00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:18.400 We didn't we didn't know what below meant. Yeah, when 431 00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:20.599 he said it was fourteen below, we're like below what? 432 00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:22.640 Yeah, and Colorado's coming here. 433 00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:24.920 But Colorado's coming here, they probably don't want to go back. 434 00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:28.039 Yeah, I wouldn't blame them. I mean, they got a 435 00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:30.039 little bit of different perspective. But you know what, it's 436 00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.119 all relative. As far as I'm concerned, I'm still flipping cold. 437 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:35.640 So I'll ask you, because I've lost the people that 438 00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:39.960 it's been cold relatively, not that cold compared to other places, obviously, right, 439 00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:42.440 But would you take one hundred and fifteen or would 440 00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:45.799 you take maybe thirty for an extended period of time? 441 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:49.839 Oh, one hundred and fifteen for sure. See, because here's 442 00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:52.839 the thing. I've been out here long enough where once 443 00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:55.839 you break triple digits, until you get to about one twenty, 444 00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:57.279 it all feels the same to me. 445 00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:00.599 Plus, you know, there's so many people, you know, pools, 446 00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:02.680 you know, like you can you can find a pool 447 00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:04.759 to sit next to, you know, I. 448 00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:07.440 Mean, it's easier to cool off and get warm. 449 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:09.440 So I'm yeah, I'm with you. Although I did live 450 00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:10.880 in Phoenix the year that I was one hundred and 451 00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:11.400 twenty six. 452 00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:13.680 Yeah. 453 00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:16.480 See, that's too much. Team, that was too much. 454 00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:17.599 It sounds like litboro. 455 00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:19.720 Hell, where are you from originally? 456 00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:23.359 Originally I'm a so cow kid. I'm from the suburbs 457 00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:25.319 of Los Angeles, so out there. 458 00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:26.000 Uh. 459 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:28.559 And actually, as we're watching the wildfire coverage, I was 460 00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:32.599 looking at it recently, and I guess, like a week ago, 461 00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:37.079 one of the uh, one of the hard warnings, like 462 00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:42.440 the northeast tip of it was literally like two blocks 463 00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:45.319 away from my aunt house. So there was some there 464 00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:49.200 was some nervous, uh, nervous confusion going on with the 465 00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:51.559 family back there, but it all worked out and they 466 00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:54.720 were they were lucky enough to to be able to 467 00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:57.839 stay and not have to evacuate. But obviously, uh, everything 468 00:20:57.880 --> 00:20:59.799 else that's going on in the Pacific Palace Areas area 469 00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:02.279 and the new fighters that have sprung up have been 470 00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:03.519 just absolutely traumatic. 471 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:06.839 Yeah, no question, no question. Now let's go back to 472 00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:09.480 your world here. So I'm sure you're busy, are you 473 00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:11.680 You're kind of still the one man band or are you? 474 00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:16.160 Yeah? No, I'm I'm one man banding and and loving it. 475 00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:18.759 I guess is you know, as as much as one 476 00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:22.319 can I got I got help when I need it, though, 477 00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:25.640 like I am in a fantastic position where you know, 478 00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:28.200 it's it's a one man banded situation, at least on paper, 479 00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:32.640 but the station offers me and affords me to help 480 00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:35.319 when I needed, which, as it turns out, it's kind 481 00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:38.640 of a lot. So they do well by me, no complaints. 482 00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:40.559 Go ahead and tell me, well, hey, Damian, this is 483 00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:42.680 Tim Bentley. I was the coach at Saint Augustin Catholic 484 00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:44.880 High School. You came out and did the story in 485 00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:46.480 the Red Beard rally for coach Boule. 486 00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:48.400 Yes, sir, sir, how are you. 487 00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:49.880 I'm very good.

He's now a two 491 00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:02.400 time Olympic Trials athlete and running pro and living in Mammoth. 492 00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:05.400 So I that shows up on my Facebook page every 493 00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:09.759 once in a while, so think, yeah, small town huh. 494 00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:13.599 I love that. I love stories like that because. 495 00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:16.599 I mean, I think it's just so cool to be 496 00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:16.960 in the. 497 00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:20.480 Environment where you can see the foundation, lay the foundation 498 00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:23.319 and then watch the athlete or student or whomever just 499 00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:25.640 thrive like that. For you as the coach, I can't 500 00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:27.400 I can't imagine what that's got to be like for you. 501 00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:28.440 Yeah, we're really proud. 502 00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:32.480 It's it's a more rewarding that the fact that they're 503 00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:35.079 great kids, you know, well actually nice young men now 504 00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:37.039 and then they'll still check in and they'll they'll ask 505 00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:40.480 for advice, but now it's about mortgages and refrigerators and stuff. 506 00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:42.200 Like that, and and and all that stuff. 507 00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:44.720 But we were talking earlier about you know, your commitment 508 00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:47.039 and you know, kind of finding and turning over those 509 00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:48.200 stories here in Tucson. 510 00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:49.759 You know what fires you up. 511 00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:51.920 You know, there's the basic stuff, but what fires you 512 00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:55.799 up on the on and when you're looking for stories, just. 513 00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:59.920 The cool little nuggets about folks that no one else 514 00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:04.359 has unearthed. You know. The it kind of gets almost 515 00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:09.079 cliche with you know, certain athletes having to overcome certain 516 00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:12.359 trials and tribulations and obstacles because we as just humans 517 00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:15.400 and the human condition go through that on like a 518 00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:18.960 daily basis. And yet there's something unifying about that. So 519 00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:22.599 it never gets old for me telling those stories about 520 00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:27.720 kids and adults and athletes who who see a challenge 521 00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:30.160 and conquer the challenge because if nothing else, at the 522 00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:33.119 end of the day, it's just inspiring. And I love 523 00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:33.759 those stories. 524 00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:36.119 And who's inspired you most recently? 525 00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:38.440 You talk to cool people all the time, but who's 526 00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:41.160 who's stuck in your mind the last couple of years. 527 00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:46.160 I'm okay, so this is going to be so last 528 00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:49.759 week and and Steve, you know, we were both there, 529 00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:51.880 just I didn't get a chance to interview him, but 530 00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:53.720 just being in the presence and listening to the stories 531 00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:58.039 of doctor j at the benefits for the African American 532 00:23:58.079 --> 00:24:02.079 Museum of Southern Arizona, just because it's timely and it's 533 00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:06.200 it's so you know, just a week ago that was 534 00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:12.680 just awesome. That was just awesome. You talk about challenges, inspiration, 535 00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:17.440 and just this presence of a man who has seen 536 00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:21.440 it all, done it all, and whose legacy you know 537 00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:22.880 sits as one of the top. 538 00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:23.240 On the mountain. 539 00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:28.559 Just absolutely mind blowing. And I don't use those words 540 00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:31.559 lightly because I know that can be a cliche too, 541 00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:33.880 But just being there and being able to absorb his 542 00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:38.960 knowledge and listen to how he overcame whatever he was 543 00:24:39.079 --> 00:24:43.000 up against to become the guy he is. Yeah, you 544 00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:45.759 just gotta love moments like that, So you know those 545 00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:48.440 things like that, that's most recently, that's what stuck with me, 546 00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:50.160 and I just really enjoyed that time. 547 00:24:50.359 --> 00:24:52.000 So when you have a story like that, because you 548 00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:54.559 know I was there too, do you are you able 549 00:24:54.640 --> 00:24:57.200 to maybe just use that as the story and forget 550 00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:59.079 about the other ones because you can maybe expand more 551 00:24:59.119 --> 00:24:59.440 on that. 552 00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:04.279 Absolutely, absolutely, which is what I pretty much did on 553 00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:06.119 that night. And I was only there. I was only 554 00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:08.400 able to be there for the first half of the 555 00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:11.000 the talk, but it was enough for me to be 556 00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:14.839 able to grab a lot of just good nuggets and 557 00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:18.240 tell a pretty cohand story about a guy who grew 558 00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:19.200 up to become a legend. 559 00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:22.160 Yeah, tell the story real quick. I had Bob Elliott 560 00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:24.559 here maybe two three years days ago, just as he 561 00:25:24.640 --> 00:25:26.839 how it went, and it was very successful obviously, But 562 00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:32.440 I couldn't remember the name he got, doctor J because 563 00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:34.559 they couldn't. He didn't want to be the professor. 564 00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:38.200 Because you didn't want to be the professor. With his 565 00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:41.839 high school friends, right, one of his best buddies, a 566 00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:48.000 teammate of his who they basically what was it? They 567 00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:52.119 started off they were ribbing one another and the buddy 568 00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:54.599 of his was basically talking about how his play was 569 00:25:54.640 --> 00:26:00.079 so clinical that he was just the doctor. And the 570 00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.519 response was doctor J calling his buddy the professor. And 571 00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:05.680 I don't recall why it was professor exactly. I don't 572 00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:08.400 know if it was, Uh yeah, I don't remember that, 573 00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:11.920 but I just remember the friend describing the play as clinical, 574 00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:13.920 so you might as well be the doctor. And then 575 00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:15.400 that just that name just stuck. 576 00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:17.359 Right, and it's probably one of the best, if not 577 00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:19.279 the best nicknames out there. 578 00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:21.759 I'll tell I'll tell you, I'll tell you. What's funny, 579 00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:26.359 was that, like one of our one of the folks 580 00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:28.960 that worked with me, who is not a sports fan, 581 00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:33.480 and if I'm not mistaken, probably is a gen z 582 00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:36.440 uh just kind of put in perspective in terms in 583 00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:40.799 terms of age when she wrote up the notes, because 584 00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:42.839 she had been talking to somebody who had mentioned it. 585 00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:46.920 Uh she wrote up the notes and put doctor d 586 00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:51.599 O C P O R. Julius Irving thinking that it 587 00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:55.160 was like a medical thing, and I had to pause, 588 00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:57.960 and that just cracked me up. Okay, so this is 589 00:26:58.079 --> 00:26:59.920 generation we've reached, the generation doctors. 590 00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:02.720 He does rounds of TMC. He's down there doing babies 591 00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:06.559 on Saturday. You never know, you never know, but well 592 00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:07.920 he's super talent. 593 00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:11.880 Tell him about your gen Z experience with Star. 594 00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:15.079 Trek oh So, Damien, I work. I'm the director of 595 00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:18.519 Marketing and Communications at TMC Health and and I have 596 00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:20.799 a I have a wide variety of folks who work 597 00:27:20.799 --> 00:27:24.000 for me, and I do have a gen probably what's 598 00:27:24.119 --> 00:27:24.599 what's after? 599 00:27:24.680 --> 00:27:25.799 Yeah, gen Z for sure. 600 00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:29.319 And she was we were talking about uh being able 601 00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:33.119 to immediately translate languages and how cool that is, and 602 00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:34.759 I said, yeah, it's kind of like Star Trek hunt. 603 00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:37.720 She just gave me this blank stare, like what and 604 00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:39.599 I'm like, no, they had a communicator on their chest 605 00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:41.400 and it just it was like the coolest thing, Captain Kirk. 606 00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:44.079 And She's like she had no idea, all. 607 00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:45.759 Right, So how does that make you feel when you 608 00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:46.640 come up something like that? 609 00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:48.640 It made my knees hurt, dude, just like my I'm 610 00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:51.039 like old, my back hurt right after that comment, and 611 00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:53.240 I'm like, my knees hurt, and then all my hair 612 00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:54.799 fell out, and. 613 00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:56.000 Then you're like, where's my cane? 614 00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:59.799 Right right? Beat me up, Scotty, just beat me up 615 00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:03.839 the hell. So, David, David, we have some time talk 616 00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:08.160 about basketball. Are you keen on these guys? Are you okay? 617 00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:08.880 Are you patient? 618 00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:09.039 Well? 619 00:28:09.079 --> 00:28:09.680 What do you think? 620 00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:14.359 Patient? Patient with the capital P. I think that's that's 621 00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:17.200 been the testament of this season is how patient, at 622 00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:21.599 least Tommy Lloyd has been consideration of the non conference 623 00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:24.240 and then you know, this first quarter of conference play 624 00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:27.160 because and he he made mention of this, if anybody 625 00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:29.279 had told him after the U c l A loss 626 00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:31.359 that they would just start breathing through at the time 627 00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:34.119 they hadn't lost to Texas text they were six and zero, 628 00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:36.319 that he wouldn't have believed anybody. And I don't think 629 00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:38.839 anybody would have believed that they would go on the 630 00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:43.920 run at there on. Currently, I you know, I still 631 00:28:43.960 --> 00:28:50.039 feel that this team goes where Caleb Love goes. But 632 00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:51.720 that's just kind of the nature of the build up, 633 00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:54.599 of the of the of the work of this team. 634 00:28:55.640 --> 00:29:00.160 But when it comes down to it, the patient and 635 00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:06.759 it's hanging off now right like they're starting to figure 636 00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:10.359 some things out now and it and it might not 637 00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:15.160 have come as quickly as anybody would have wanted or expected. 638 00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:18.200 But let's let's take a step back and think about 639 00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:21.720 seasons past here where they've come hot out the gates 640 00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:25.200 only to kind of nosedive towards the end. And it's 641 00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:27.640 like they've flipped the script a little bit in this 642 00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:30.240 twenty twenty four to twenty five season and that makes 643 00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:34.119 it not only different, but darn right exciting to see 644 00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:37.599 how how much further this team can go as we 645 00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:39.119 as we continue on and press on here. 646 00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:41.880 So so let me ask you, okay, get Caleb out 647 00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:43.759 of the mix, because we already talk. I agree with 648 00:29:43.799 --> 00:29:46.000 you that you know, as this team goes, he goes, 649 00:29:46.079 --> 00:29:49.920 which is you know, very inconsistent. But who has to 650 00:29:49.960 --> 00:29:53.240 be the guy uh not named Caleb who has to 651 00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:54.000 really come through? 652 00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:58.279 I mean, at this point all eyes turned to JAYD 653 00:29:58.279 --> 00:30:02.599 and Bradley as far as I'm concerned, you know, I 654 00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:08.240 think he has asserted himself as but the facto team 655 00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:13.240 leader while the spotlight kind of circles above Caleb Love. Also, 656 00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:17.599 that being said, if you would have told me that 657 00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:22.000 Henry Theysar would be having this kind of a breakout season, 658 00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:26.119 I wouldn't believed you either, given you know who else 659 00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:29.039 they had on the roster. H So kudos to him, 660 00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:33.480 But but I think ultimately Jayden Bradley, Jade and Bradley 661 00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:37.160 will lay the foundation to direct the team. Caleb blog 662 00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:39.839 will push the team down that road. If that, If 663 00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:41.440 that analogy makes sense, Yeah. 664 00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:45.359 So you emphasize you being patient. What makes you nervous 665 00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:46.119 about this team? 666 00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:51.960 Everything is there, like you're like, oh no, if that 667 00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:54.240 it could go all off, It could go off the 668 00:30:54.279 --> 00:30:55.119 rails if this happened. 669 00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:56.519 Is there anything that is there? One thing? Or is 670 00:30:56.519 --> 00:30:57.359 it just everything? 671 00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:05.519 I mean, you know, it's like you just mentioned, it's consistency, turnovers, 672 00:31:05.559 --> 00:31:08.640 just be able to find the rhythm, keep the rhythm 673 00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:12.960 throughout the entire forty minutes and not letting your foot 674 00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:14.640 up off the gas. And we talked about this before 675 00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:17.079 and again going back to cliche. This is almost cliche, 676 00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:22.680 but there's a lot of peaks and valleys where you 677 00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:26.799 feel really secure with how strong this team is playing, 678 00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:31.079 and then they let up and it becomes much closer 679 00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:35.200 of a game than you would have thought, like ten 680 00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:37.279 minutes ago. I mean, how many times have we seen 681 00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:41.079 that within this course of justice, this winning street that 682 00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:47.440 they've been on. Right, So it's like cardiac cats, but opposite, 683 00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:49.480 because they're starting off strong and then they're tailing austin 684 00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:52.079 the end versus starting off week in the beginning and 685 00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:54.480 having to dig their way out, which is a story 686 00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:56.519 that we've read many times in the last few seasons. 687 00:31:56.519 --> 00:31:57.279 Wouldn't you agree? 688 00:31:57.480 --> 00:31:58.519 Yeah, you have no question. 689 00:31:58.680 --> 00:32:00.759 So is there is there a tell that they have 690 00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:01.119 for you? 691 00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:03.039 Like if if something goes off the rails, let's maybe 692 00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:04.400 a little quiet and you see it and you're like. 693 00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:06.039 Oh, here we go. Do you have a tell? 694 00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:06.599 Do they? 695 00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:08.000 Does a team have a tell to you? 696 00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:10.640 I mean, see, what do you think? What do you 697 00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:11.160 think of that? 698 00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:14.720 Uh? Tell? Well, when when Caleb goes south, I mean 699 00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:16.880 when he starts chucking them up and then he goes 700 00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:18.720 you know zero fo four from the three point line, 701 00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:21.559 not just in a matter of ten minutes, in a 702 00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:22.480 matter of three minutes. 703 00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:26.880 I was gonna say, a shot selection and Russian when 704 00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:31.160 they start rushing like forget it. Uh, you know, the 705 00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:33.279 time to kind of maybe turn away for a few 706 00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:35.640 minutes before before Timmy calls the time out and they 707 00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:35.880 have to. 708 00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:40.400 Course correct Texas right once they got out their pace. 709 00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:44.119 Uh and and once they get up against the defensive 710 00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:49.119 wall that does not allow them to play according to 711 00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:50.880 plan to the point where they have to improvise a 712 00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:55.960 little bit. Then it gets relatively scary, and that that 713 00:32:56.119 --> 00:32:58.279 is something that we have also seen in years past 714 00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:02.039 that have also proven be I mean, let's be realistic here. 715 00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:07.880 Their downfall in the tournament at least, right, and it's 716 00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:13.279 it's an ailment that I'm not sure they've found a 717 00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:13.759 cure for. 718 00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:17.079 Right. No, he's talked about that too, is getting that 719 00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:19.920 big lead, so just in case the collapse does happen, 720 00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:21.799 that they can survive that. And he's done that a 721 00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:24.079 couple of times too. Let me ask you outside of 722 00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:26.440 I think you're in your fifties, lower fifties, if not 723 00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:29.920 fifty yet. I'm in my sixties now, but I think 724 00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:31.480 the most unhappy. 725 00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:33.039 You're gonna be, I'm gonna be forty five, and like, 726 00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:37.480 I'm really really so I appreciate the opportunity to pretend 727 00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:39.240 as if I'm wiser than I am. 728 00:33:39.559 --> 00:33:39.599 You. 729 00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:42.720 We want everybody to be in their fifties, yes, yes, older, 730 00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:45.000 you get. We want everybody to the way we. 731 00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:46.440 Talked about this, how long you've been in two soon 732 00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:48.680 then twenty or seventeen around? 733 00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:51.759 Wait, what is it? What do you guys think? 734 00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:53.640 What I said seventeen. 735 00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:54.640 Thought twenty one. 736 00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:58.000 But okay, well we'll almost put the difference there. It'll 737 00:33:58.039 --> 00:34:02.000 be it's eighteen, it'll be nine. See in July, I think, wow, yeah. 738 00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:05.039 Okay, okay, and you've and TV is not an easy business, 739 00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:07.039 but let's go there too. So I was talking about 740 00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:10.079 the sixty year old older guys. The crowd has not 741 00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:12.039 been as generous as it has been in the past, 742 00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:15.079 in part because the time starts you too, or the 743 00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:18.000 TV people must hate that because they're finishing their eleven 744 00:34:18.360 --> 00:34:19.840 and you're coming gone. 745 00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:23.360 You know what that was. That was really more of 746 00:34:23.400 --> 00:34:29.079 an issue the last few Pact seasons. This season, I've 747 00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:32.280 been I've been, for the exception of like at least 748 00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:34.960 in conference games, the exception of a few games that 749 00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:39.400 have tipped off eight or nine, it's been relatively manageable. 750 00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:42.760 And the reason why is because the ones that have 751 00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:46.159 been the latest have been on the East Coast, so 752 00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:48.920 we've been able to have that time difference Act is 753 00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:51.960 kind of a little bit of a cushion. But for 754 00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:54.800 the late games, yeah, I mean it's it's like, actually, 755 00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:57.360 it's nice because then I don't have to rush and 756 00:34:57.360 --> 00:35:01.280 I can just watch and enjoy or know my pants 757 00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:01.960 one or two. 758 00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:03.519 And then what I guess overnight? 759 00:35:03.559 --> 00:35:06.480 What kind of your story the next day exactly? 760 00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:08.559 Then come back the next day and uh, and then 761 00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:11.199 do the friendly recap knock on wood. 762 00:35:11.239 --> 00:35:14.079 Yeah, okay, well one more you go. One. 763 00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:17.119 No, I was I'm thinking, Damian, outside of the U 764 00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:19.719 of A sports what what are you tracking on in 765 00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:21.440 the in the city. What's the state of the state 766 00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:24.760 sports wise? What are you tracking on here in town? 767 00:35:26.320 --> 00:35:28.840 Okay, let's talk. Uh, well, we can talk about a 768 00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:33.159 lot a lot of things, really, the Suns and and 769 00:35:33.800 --> 00:35:41.559 I find the whole Jimmy Butler Miami debacle super soap 770 00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:45.599 opery and the fact that the Suns you know, are 771 00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:50.159 right there in the mix to land Butler potentially, uh, 772 00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:54.360 is just fascinating to see what that would even look 773 00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:57.800 like and how much more beneficial that would be to 774 00:35:57.840 --> 00:36:00.079 the team and whatever kind of run that they're trying 775 00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:02.480 to make out of a season that, for all intentsive purposes, 776 00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:06.679 seems like it's kind of like nose diving. You got 777 00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:09.760 the Diamondbacks trying to do their best to make moves. 778 00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:14.000 The Corpy Burns signed was awesome, only to be followed 779 00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:16.199 up by Sasaki signing with the Dodgers, which I think 780 00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:17.559 is comical. Uh. 781 00:36:18.199 --> 00:36:21.159 And isn't there payroll like two billion dollars right now 782 00:36:21.480 --> 00:36:22.000 the Dodgers? 783 00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:24.760 Oh my god? Yeah, No, Actually, yeah, that's not even 784 00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:28.559 like an exaggeration. It's it's it feels like it's not 785 00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:29.559 it is up there. 786 00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:30.840 It's up there. 787 00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:33.960 Given all the moves they've made, I mean like they're 788 00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:36.519 on the hook for like billions of dollars between Otani 789 00:36:36.559 --> 00:36:37.599 and Yamamoto alone. 790 00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:40.000 Yeah, but not like twenty forty two. So come on, 791 00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:40.800 that's like, that's. 792 00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:41.280 True, that's true. 793 00:36:41.480 --> 00:36:46.039 That's part business planning. But no, man, it's you know, 794 00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:48.880 what about the state what's that? 795 00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:50.440 Yeah, go ahead, the state of Arizona. 796 00:36:50.559 --> 00:36:54.079 No, I'm just gonna say the state of the state 797 00:36:54.119 --> 00:36:59.519 of Arizona sports. It's kind of fascinating right now, you know, 798 00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:02.679 with the rye as of ASU football and with what 799 00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:07.039 Brent Brennan is you know, really attempting to do with 800 00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:10.599 with the Wildcats, combined with the fact that you know, 801 00:37:10.639 --> 00:37:15.159 there are rumblings up north that you know, maybe potentially 802 00:37:15.199 --> 00:37:19.280 reportedly some small backroom discussions are talking to potentially bring 803 00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:23.639 back the NHL to Phoenix or to the Arizona Uh. 804 00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:29.079 And then whatever the mess the Cardinals are in that 805 00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:34.920 that's always something to watch for, I guess. But yeah, 806 00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:37.519 it's an interesting time for sure to be covering sports 807 00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:37.960 in the state. 808 00:37:38.239 --> 00:37:41.360 Well, I'm sure the people at KOLD are looking for you, 809 00:37:41.239 --> 00:37:42.360 so you better get in the building. 810 00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:44.440 And I'm just hiding out in my car in the 811 00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:45.559 parking lot. 812 00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:48.039 Turn off the heat to put on your jacket and 813 00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:48.960 make a run for it. 814 00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:50.480 I guess got you. 815 00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:51.599 Huh, I guess it's that time. 816 00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:55.760 Thank you, Damian.

I think 1092 00:50:21.440 --> 00:50:25.480 that's exactly it, and I think the cure for that 1093 00:50:26.559 --> 00:50:28.840 is to get the seeds. 1094 00:50:28.920 --> 00:50:31.360 They're going to have to change the way they no question, 1095 00:50:31.559 --> 00:50:32.840 I agree with you, no question. 1096 00:50:33.199 --> 00:50:37.599 They see the playoffs and it's going to have to 1097 00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:40.280 be so that it's impossible to end up with that 1098 00:50:40.360 --> 00:50:42.400 matchup two hundred miles apart. 1099 00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:43.239 Yeah. 1100 00:50:43.320 --> 00:50:46.440 Well, it's like the March madness, you know. They they 1101 00:50:46.480 --> 00:50:49.039 want regional games to start off, but they want to 1102 00:50:49.119 --> 00:50:51.360 end up with the match what they want. 1103 00:50:51.599 --> 00:50:54.199 I know, this was a very very difficult situation because 1104 00:50:54.360 --> 00:50:56.239 the seedings were totally screwed up. 1105 00:50:56.480 --> 00:50:58.599 They didn't know what they were doing right away. They 1106 00:50:58.679 --> 00:51:00.039 you know, well twenty. 1107 00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:02.079 Five is huge. 1108 00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:05.960 Yeah, yeah, I know. 1109 00:51:06.360 --> 00:51:11.199 Down twenty five million a year before to nineteen million 1110 00:51:11.239 --> 00:51:11.639 this year. 1111 00:51:11.679 --> 00:51:12.400 Did you watch it? 1112 00:51:14.079 --> 00:51:14.159 No? 1113 00:51:14.480 --> 00:51:14.880 You didn't. 1114 00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:18.519 Why I had other things to do? 1115 00:51:19.079 --> 00:51:22.519 Yeah, okay, well there's one last person.

But there's twelve thousand, eleven 1127 00:51:48.719 --> 00:51:50.880 thousand in the building, a lot of empty seats, and 1128 00:51:50.920 --> 00:51:53.840 people are wondering why why that is, Well, you're gonna 1129 00:51:53.840 --> 00:51:56.800 go to eight o'clock, nine o'clock game. No you're not. 1130 00:51:57.000 --> 00:51:59.000 People don't it's too late for the for the crowd. 1131 00:51:59.079 --> 00:52:00.880 Well, and you used to have a cadence to those games. 1132 00:52:00.920 --> 00:52:03.320 There were Thursday, Saturday, Thursday Saturday, and you could kind 1133 00:52:03.320 --> 00:52:04.960 of map your Thursday game, but you could go to 1134 00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:08.360 a Saturday game. But now it's on a Tuesday night 1135 00:52:08.559 --> 00:52:11.280 and it's nine o'clock, and it's it's it's a little late. 1136 00:52:11.480 --> 00:52:13.559 And we've talked about the older audience in there too, 1137 00:52:13.679 --> 00:52:14.719 so it's. 1138 00:52:14.599 --> 00:52:17.280 Always been an older audience. So so that's the case. 1139 00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:20.400 We'll see. I guess that's sold out, right, they came out, Yeah, 1140 00:52:20.440 --> 00:52:23.719 they came out to I'm sure Monday night's gonna be 1141 00:52:23.719 --> 00:52:25.480 one of those sold out games. Depending even though it's 1142 00:52:25.519 --> 00:52:28.519 late that one hasn't hasn't been said.
