You're jigansaws. Thanks everybody 6 00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:18.679 for listening. We got Henry at the board. We still 7 00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:23.079 survive this, KO give me affected this. So you know, 8 00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:25.800 you talked about Kaleb being the guy who's number two, 9 00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:29.839 who's a must, who's a must. 10 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:33.520 It's funny because there's so many Yeah, I think I 11 00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.399 think I'm gonna I was gonna say Henry. I think, 12 00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:40.479 you know, because when Henry, when Henry goes off again 13 00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:42.719 in a bunch of different ways, he's getting rebounds, you know, 14 00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.880 protecting the rim, you know, hitting you know, hitting some shots, 15 00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:48.719 you know, and getting the ball inside because he can 16 00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:50.560 move really well with the you know, with the ball, 17 00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:54.119 you know. And if you got a game where Henry 18 00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:56.159 goes out for you know, fifteen and eight or something 19 00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:00.000 like that, that's that adds a lot to what they do, right, 20 00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:02.840 you know. And so I put Henry the next the 21 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:06.640 next guy up on that just from the standpoint that again, 22 00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:07.920 if that happens. 23 00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.000 They're really good, Right, Okay, I'm gonna put. I'm gonna 24 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.079 put go ahead. I was just kJ kJ kJ. He's 25 00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:15.640 not gonna score a bunch of points. He's got to 26 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:17.079 play some defense and not. 27 00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:18.439 Turn the ball out. That's all he's got to do. 28 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.319 And he's been the X factor for a few of 29 00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:23.359 the people at REST. So I'm gonna go three with 30 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:27.280 Jayden Bradley because he's the point guard. He has, he's 31 00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:29.640 the ball. He hasn't been the Jyden Bradley that we 32 00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:30.719 had seen earlier in the year. 33 00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.560 Yeah, he's been a little The offense has been a 34 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:35.560 little more chaotic. 35 00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:38.640 He's not getting to the basket and he's not getting 36 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:39.079 in to the basket. 37 00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:42.319 But but obviously, you know, teams are scouting that and 38 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:42.879 they're playing that. 39 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.640 They're not letting him get to the basket. But you know, 40 00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:46.760 that's his game. 41 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.480 Game, that's his game or you know, Gay, you know, 42 00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:51.519 getting in there and hitting the fifteen footer if he's 43 00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.519 if he's going to hit that twelve to fifteen footer 44 00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.799 every time that he's been and he's been taking pretty 45 00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.159 good at it last couple of games he has, he's 46 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.079 he missed a few, know, because when I see him 47 00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:03.560 take that shot, I'm like, that's two points and then 48 00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:04.680 he's missed a few. 49 00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:06.560 Right, Okay, So I'm gonna go with a Waka four 50 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.000 even though you need him. Yeah, and he's been you know, 51 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:11.639 he is the big twelve. They bought him in the He. 52 00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:12.919 Is the big He's Yeah. 53 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.199 He he's a big reason why you know what's he 54 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.560 got six double doubles in a row or something like that. 55 00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:20.439 I mean, you know, he's a man in there, and 56 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:22.400 and he's not taking any crap from anybody. 57 00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:24.719 He gets he gets tough rebounds. 58 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:28.199 See that's the thing that I like with the difference 59 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:32.680 between you know, a Waka and and and Masar. 60 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:33.960 They're two completely different. 61 00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.039 Is the taller guy, but Walker I mean, but a 62 00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:39.240 Walka is the guy that you want him inside. 63 00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:41.560 It's a fastball and a curveball. Yeah, you know, on 64 00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:43.759 the ones one and the ones the other. Okay, So 65 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:47.599 then you have kJ maybe or is it Bryant ahead 66 00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.159 of kJ because you need Bryant to. 67 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.080 You need him, but you met him though, you need. 68 00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:56.120 Him in bed good because that's all you're getting, Yeah, 69 00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:56.599 because that's all. 70 00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.680 You're getting from you know, he's still you know, I 71 00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.639 saw a draft, a Monk draft. 72 00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:06.319 They had me eleven potential. Yeah, because, yeah, I mean 73 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:07.879 it's the draft potential. I get that. 74 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.919 But you know, and he does some great things, but 75 00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:13.560 there's something you know, he'll go and stretches and he'll 76 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:15.280 just look like a kid. 77 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:20.319 Foul people intentionally or or whatever stupidly. So yeah, no, 78 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.960 but they need him because he's a threat from the perimeter. 79 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.919 And that's why I like dol Orso. So you know, 80 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:27.960 he's the starter, but he's not really a starter, but 81 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:29.599 he needs to hit. If he hits three or four 82 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:31.719 shots from the perimeter, that's gravy. 83 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:32.319 Yeah. 84 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.240 Well, here's the thing that I think that that that 85 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.800 Tommy has adjusted to, and that the offense is adjusted too, 86 00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:40.360 is that they're not relying on the three point shot. 87 00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:41.120 Right. 88 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:44.759 They know they they know they can't shoot, you know, 89 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.840 a high high enough percentage to make it an integral 90 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:49.039 part of their offense. 91 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:51.120 It's enough a part of their offense. 92 00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:52.520 That they they've got to guard Caleb, they've got to 93 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.879 guard Jayden, They've even got to guard Henry out there, 94 00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:57.840 and and uh and and and Bryanton del Orso. But 95 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:01.319 they don't shoot so many that it's like everything runs 96 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.439 through that. Everyzone's trying to get the ball, you know, 97 00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:06.599 get the ball on the inside of fifteen feet all 98 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:06.919 the time. 99 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:08.159 Even Caleb, you'll see him. 100 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:11.000 I mean, there've actually been a couple of times that I, 101 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:12.439 you know, you see him get the one. I thought, 102 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:14.919 why didn't you shoot that? And he drives the lane, 103 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.959 you know, he gets a layup or you know, you know, 104 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.279 gets it inside and then kicks it out to somebody. 105 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.959 So I feel like he's doing he's doing a lot 106 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.240 more besides just standing out there waiting for an open 107 00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:26.800 three pointer. 108 00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:28.839 And I think that's been a big deal to what 109 00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:29.519 they've been doing. 110 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:34.079 Yeah, okay, uh in the bench, you know, here here's 111 00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:35.120 a nitty gritty baby. 112 00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:37.639 He asked what he has, and that's it, right, it's 113 00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:39.480 eight guys, it's eight guys. 114 00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:41.959 It's it's it's it's you know, Tray Townsend, it's the 115 00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:44.319 guys who have been starting with Vasar and the starting lineup, 116 00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.199 and then it's Tray Townsend, Carter Bryant and kJ Lewis. 117 00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:48.560 And you see the pattern, you. 118 00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:50.560 Know, when he makes his first substitution of the game, 119 00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:54.560 it's a it's a it's Vasar Bryant and uh and 120 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.800 and kJ come in, you know, and it completely changes 121 00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.079 what they're doing. Yeah, you know, or yeah, I mean 122 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:03.800 he subbed, he subbed. I know, he subbed dot Caleb 123 00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:07.600 at the first TV time out on on U on 124 00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:10.360 Wednesday night. And I thought that was unusual that you know, 125 00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:13.360 well he because usually usually the starting line goes in 126 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:17.160 is then at least past the first was the scored. 127 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.680 By that time, because if he really doesn't need him offensively, 128 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:21.639 he's just gonna, yeah, rust them up. They were up 129 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:23.120 a few, you know, they got up early. They had 130 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:24.920 a twenty four point lead at one point. Yeah, and 131 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.199 then they here's the issue. They do this a lot. 132 00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.519 They let go of that lead and against good teams. 133 00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.160 Guess what happened? Then it keeps going, It keeps going. 134 00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:35.600 You know that's not good. Yeah, yeah, uh and guess 135 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:37.399 what's gonna happen? And we talked about it. What's happen 136 00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:40.839 in the next the next five three four weeks, it's all. 137 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:42.480 Good teams that side of maybe a Tuesday game. 138 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.519 Yeah, well, starting well exeph as he was in the 139 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:48.040 middle of that, starting with I, I you know, Iowa 140 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:49.680 state that they got a s U and then they 141 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:50.680 then it's Kansas and. 142 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:52.279 It's nothing but tournament teams after that. 143 00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:55.399 Yeah, because you know, because you're you're if you're you know, 144 00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.199 you're you're seeded into the into the third round in 145 00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:02.439 the Big twelve Tournament, you're life playing a tournament team 146 00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.160 because we're going to get like eight teams in the tournament, and. 147 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:06.639 There are let me tell you, there are very few 148 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.879 better tournament teams than the Big twelve Tournament.

You know the the coach got 233 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:35.480 his five million dollars. You know, those guys are on 234 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:38.320 the team they're criticizing him forgetting emotional. 235 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:44.600 What Twitter? Twitter?

Those guys 242 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.240 are grown up. They shouldn't know they're on the team 243 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:02.360 and they should be there. 244 00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:06.960 Anyways, I'm like, really, you're not supposed to be a 245 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:08.399 having no good stories here. 246 00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:10.440 It's the news. I just want to I just want 247 00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:11.240 to slap some people. 248 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:15.919 Jennifer, Yeah, think Jennifin. You know she posted that and 249 00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:19.360 also a bunch of the responses were that tom what 250 00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:20.440 do you up said about Tommy? 251 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:21.799 He got five million bucks? 252 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:24.919 And but he said that when you somebody say it's 253 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.399 not about the money, these are our families that are 254 00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:28.399 going through these things. 255 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:31.720 Dad loses his job. It's tough on the kids. 256 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:34.519 I'm glad I didn't see that. I'm gone. We live 257 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:35.879 in a world that's just kind of crazy. 258 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:38.000 I want to slap the hell out of some people. Steve, 259 00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:40.919 I'm sitting over there prepared because it's going to be 260 00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:41.919 a bumpy ride. 261 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:43.440 From here on out. 262 00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:44.399 It is. 263 00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:47.200 We'll see, we'll see in a lot of different areas. 264 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:48.919 So no, that was that was good. In fact, it 265 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:51.399 humanized him even more. And then the funny thing about 266 00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:55.120 is he goes emotional and then return to scheduled program. 267 00:10:55.279 --> 00:11:00.639 He gets on Bruce, what are you talking about? You 268 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:01.759 know you're back to normal. 269 00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:03.600 What do you make of the relationship. 270 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:06.360 Oh, it's I joke about it because Bruce gets it too. 271 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:08.200 It's a give and take and a lot of it's 272 00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:11.600 tongue in cheek and they get each other. Yeah, but Bruce, 273 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:15.279 Bruce doesn't purposely egg game on. He just asked the 274 00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:17.559 questions the way he asked the questions. Yeah, and he 275 00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:20.720 and then Tommy kind of does with that paplop dog 276 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.600 kind of looks why are you doing this? He went 277 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:26.799 with me a couple of times. One time I asked him, 278 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:28.879 you know, you know you've been playing playing closes the 279 00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:31.679 game thing. I told you. They've been playing close over 280 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:34.720 the last couple of weeks, last couple of weeks, the 281 00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:38.039 last few months. You know what I'm saying, It's been 282 00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:40.639 close closely. The last three had a four. Yeah, and 283 00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:42.960 they all been good games. I mean, is it couldn't 284 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:45.720 kind of it was a relief game and he didn't 285 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:47.120 go to his bench till one minute. 286 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:49.720 Yeah, yeah, you know. And then that's the thing. 287 00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:51.519 I mean at the end, you know, when when they're 288 00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:54.159 up twenty, I'm like, this actually kind of feels good 289 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:56.399 because we haven't had one of these run right, right, 290 00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:58.919 and you know, a game that wasn't tensed down the stretch. 291 00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:01.039 And I'm like, and that's when I got to that thing. 292 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:04.799 That's been more fun sure, you know, watching you know, 293 00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:06.960 watching a game and not just saying, okay, let's get 294 00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:10.399 this over with, right, you know, let's want you know, 295 00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:11.440 these games are more fun. 296 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:13.480 Yeah, And I think it's been great. 297 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.759 I think those who who paid the money and didn't 298 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:19.720 sell her tickets have enjoyed the season and will continue 299 00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:20.440 to enjoy the sea. 300 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:22.960 I know, if I could afford some or whatever, I 301 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:23.639 would buy something. 302 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:26.200 I like to think that after a year of this, 303 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:29.200 right going through this this year, that the fans will 304 00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:32.240 make that adjustment for next You realize this is how 305 00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:35.600 it's going to be. Instead of thinking I wish it 306 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:36.720 was like it was before. 307 00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:40.039 Mentally, mentally yeah, yeah, I think you're probably right.

And 346 00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:28.120 I mean, look, the reason I keep my weight off 347 00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:33.360 is because my blood pressure is the biggest thing. And 348 00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:36.080 I figured, I'm gonna eat what I want to eat. 349 00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:39.279 I just won't eat as much, and I'll exercise. I'll 350 00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:43.799 get out and walk more. And if I if I'm lighter, 351 00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:47.080 that should help my blood pressure. And that's that's that's 352 00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:49.720 my contribution to my blood pressure, keep my weight down. 353 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:52.080 Very nice? Can I say this?
