  Speaker 1: there's a good chance that this show could be connected
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: to the NBA.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: It's about time fingers crossed.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: Peyton, what's the story far from the beginning?
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: You woke up, well, I woke up this morning. No

  Speaker 4: the Sun's G League team.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: So the Phoenix Sun's G League team, correct, what do
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: they call the Valley Son The Valley Sons?
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: Okay, So basically, if you don't know, like the G
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: League is a team or a program within the NBA
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: that kind of has players that aren't exactly like NBA ready,
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: but they kind of get ready. Some kids or some
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: guys get pulled up to play in the league. Sometimes
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: you just playing the G League. A lot of them
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: play overseas like that kind of gig. And so I
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: had the opportunity to essentially do like a live audition.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: So on Saturday, they had a preseason game and it
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: was not open to the public. So I had my
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: first interview just probably about a week and a half ago.
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: It was just a zoom interview. Made it through to
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: the second round.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: So it was three of us girls that had made it,
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: and we essentially like battled it out during this preseason game.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Oh really yeah, like live on the mic, live on
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: the mica.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Literally like simulated an exact game as if it would be.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: They turned off the lights, they had the PA announcer,
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: they were doing all the stats, they were doing all
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: of the stuff.
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: So you're hyping a crowd that isn't even there exactly.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: There was probably about forty people in this five thousand
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: seated arena.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: It's not at the Matchbook Center, no what making mortgage.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: Match up, No change the name.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: It's the Mullet Arena right by a CEO.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, that's a great. Great. So there's three of you,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: do they put you on?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Each of you have your own mic at the same
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: time you're interacting or to okay, Peyton, you go and
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: you do something.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Well, So there was two mics and we would kind
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: of alternate. So I had my own mic and then
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: they shared mic.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, So what did they What was your audition
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: would they tell you to do?
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: So?
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Okay, So, like I said, it was the preseason game.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: So one of the very first things that we had
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: to do was like, Welcome Valley Suns. Fans were so
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: excited to kick off season number two with you guys.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: We're going to start off with a Saturday party. And
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: this party starts with the best G League fans something
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: like that. They give you a script, Yeah, they gave
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: us a script to read over.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah. And then also like a lot of it was
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: ad lib and banter. I hosted a game that kind
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: of stuff, that kind of game. So the game that
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: I had was like the.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Wheel of free Throws, So we simulated like one of
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: the people that was working there was my contestant, and
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: he had to spin a wheel and basically whatever like
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: whatever item he landed on, he had a shoot, said
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: free throw, so he landed on the granny shot, so
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: he had to make a granny shot from the free
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: throw and had thirty seconds to do it.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: One person horse. But the wheel tells you what which.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Will tells you what she gets to do.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: So whenever I'm there, there's there's a way that the
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: people always say T shirts that I find annoying, and
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: it's like anybody wants a D shirt.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: We definitely did some.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: T shirts throwing, So could you not do that.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: I won't say it like that. I'll keep you in
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: the back of my.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Mind, just like that again, Rich.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: So it's up you and the other two. And when
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: does the U League.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Start the first official game for at least the Valley
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: send I believe that it's the eighth and the ninth
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: of this month, but the first home game is November fourteenth.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Do they know like your background in basketball? Like to me,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: just on paper, if I was those people, I would
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: look at you and go She was a divisional in
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: college basketball player, she played high school state championship, all
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: this stuff, and she's on the radio. She got personality
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: on paper, I'd be you're a slam dunk. Are the
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: other two in media or the other two?
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: One of so?
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: One of them she has been in radio before, like
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: on the promotion side, but never really did anything like.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: On a mic.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: And then the other girl she was from like the
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Midwest area and she's actually done in arena hosting before.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: And I mean she was polished, like she's definitely my competition.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, yeah, she's good. But like I said,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: I'm crossing my fingers in my toes because You're right,
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: I was the only one with the basketball background, and
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: I was really excited coming into it, and I'm like
• 4:18
