Speaker 1: frustrated about they of officiating. Dabo said, in the meantime,
4:03
Speaker 1: we got gambling issues going on, people being suspended, all
4:07
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, right, I mean, refs are people too,
4:11
Speaker 1: It ain't just coaches and players. And if they're part
4:13
Speaker 1: of the game, then by god, they ought to be
4:15
Speaker 1: part of the game, and they ought to be part
4:17
Speaker 1: of the accountability, and they ought to be part of
4:20
Speaker 1: the consequences, not just behind some shadowy curtain like no,
4:25
Speaker 1: they ought to have an answer for it. You go, Dabo.
4:29
Speaker 1: I can't agree enough. UTSA quarterback Owen McCown has been

4:50
Speaker 1: in utsa's forty eight twenty six beat down of Tulane
4:58
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Aggie basketball one to zero under Bucky
5:03
Speaker 1: McMillan after running away from Northwestern State ninety eight to
5:09
Speaker 1: sixty eight. Last night. Ruben Domingus hit four seven from three.
5:14
Speaker 1: He had eighteen points. Josh Holloway had thirteen. Federico Federico
5:21
Speaker 1: had eight boards for the Aggies. They will play again
5:26
Speaker 1: on Thursday night, and I should know who that is. Yes,
5:34
Speaker 1: of course it is. I knew it was a directional school.
5:38
Speaker 1: It's Texas Southern. If it's an A and M non
5:41
Speaker 1: conference game this year, it is a directional school. Oh yeah,
5:47
Speaker 1: we got directional schools everywhere. We've got basketball tonight. Actually
5:53
Speaker 1: we started last night with an upset. The defending national champ,
5:56
Speaker 1: Florida went down to Arizona. That was a highly entertaining
6:01
Speaker 1: game in Las Vegas tonight. Duke and Texas play on
6:07
Speaker 1: the ESPN, and that game is in Charlotte, North Carolina.
6:14
Speaker 1: By the way, Kirk Bowles is covering that game. We
6:16
Speaker 1: will visit with Kirk on Friday. We will talk a
6:19
Speaker 1: little bit of college who, not a lot, but some
6:22
Speaker 1: with the columnists for the Houston Chronicle on Friday's show.
6:27
Speaker 1: The Live Golf League is altering its format, going to
6:31
Speaker 1: seventy two holes for all of its events this coming year.
6:36
Speaker 1: John rom says it's a win for the league and
6:40
Speaker 1: the players. The team competition will take place concurrently, with
6:45
Speaker 1: all players scorers counting towards the team total each day.
6:51
Speaker 1: Rom has been an ongoing opponent of the seventy two holes,
6:54
Speaker 1: just like the PGA does. But speaking of the PGA,
6:59
Speaker 1: the Live's decision to play their promotions event in Florida
7:05
Speaker 1: means it will be deemed an unauthorized Remember when the
7:09
Speaker 1: PGA and the Live were getting together and they were
7:12
Speaker 1: going to merge and everything was going to be nice
7:15
Speaker 1: and happy in one league. The Live Golf's decision to
7:20
Speaker 1: play their promotions event in Florida means it will be
7:22
Speaker 1: deemed an unauthorized event. By the PGA Tour, So any
7:28
Speaker 1: PGA Tour player will not be granted a media rights
7:33
Speaker 1: release and is subject to disciplinary action if they participate
7:40
Speaker 1: January eighth through eleventh in Florida. The issue for the
7:45
Speaker 1: tour is the tournament site being in North America. The
7:48
Speaker 1: regulation state players will not be granted conflicting events or
7:53
Speaker 1: media releases for tournaments staged in North America. Live Golf
7:59
Speaker 1: has as it responded yet, but hey, I'm sure they will.
8:04
Speaker 1: That won't be that won't be a problem. All right,
8:10
Speaker 1: We're going to take a break. We're going to come back.
8:13
Speaker 1: We're going to hear postgame Bucky. When we come back.
8:18
Speaker 1: We've got a high school report, We've got an interview

Speaker 6: NASCAR Xfinity Series race recap from Phoenix Raceway. I'm Kerrie Murphy.
9:09
Speaker 6: Jesse Love wins the race and the championship.
9:12
Speaker 7: Yeah, I last few laps, you kind of thought if
9:17
Speaker 7: I was in that position going into it, i'd probably emotional.
9:21
Speaker 7: Like It's like, there's probably a couple of drivers that
9:24
Speaker 7: would probably cry, Like the last couple laps. We were
9:27
Speaker 7: like Chase Priscoe Southern five hundred, he was going over
9:30
Speaker 7: that and he was saying, you know, he was crying
9:31
Speaker 7: the last few laps. I think it was, or maybe
9:33
Speaker 7: it was like Denny too, but I don't know. For me,
9:36
Speaker 7: I was just like I knew a caution was going
9:38
Speaker 7: to come out, so I didn't have like any emotion.
9:41
Speaker 7: I was just honestly thinking the whole last few laps
9:45
Speaker 7: a not to put a lap car in like a
9:47
Speaker 7: bad position where they get frazzled, but more importantly, when
9:51
Speaker 7: the caution comes out, what I was going to do
9:53
Speaker 7: to get a better restart because I didn't win from
9:55
Speaker 7: the front row all night, so yeah, that was what
9:58
Speaker 7: I was focused on more than any and then we
10:00
Speaker 7: crossed our finish line. Takes a whall from my brain
10:04
Speaker 7: to shut off. I was just still focused on a restart,
10:08
Speaker 7: so it was kind of crazy feeling really.
10:11
Speaker 6: Eric Omarolo a second, follow by Connor Zilich. He won
10:14

12:15
Speaker 1: I keep the ends up for the fight. I've just
12:18
Speaker 1: been informed that the NFL trade deadline ended a little
12:23
Speaker 1: more than an hour ago, so we're gonna be taking
12:26
Speaker 1: your calls and all your opinions on that at six nine,
12:30
Speaker 1: three eleven fifty be sure and calling way in on
12:34
Speaker 1: all of the trades that were made before the NFL
12:37
Speaker 1: trade deadline last night before an announced crowd of over
12:42
Speaker 1: seventy five hundred and I think there were there were
12:45
Speaker 1: over six thousand there. It was good. It was a
12:47
Speaker 1: good start for Bucky Ball and Northwestern State. Pretty good turnout,
12:53
Speaker 1: pretty good student turnout last night. Not not half bad
12:58
Speaker 1: for a Northwestern state, So it was a good start.
13:04
Speaker 1: Let's hear from Bucky and then we'll talk a little
13:06
Speaker 1: bit about the game.
13:07
Speaker 16: Pretty good job sharing that though the first half we
13:09
Speaker 16: were like sharing the ball really well and not turning
13:12
Speaker 16: it over, had good passing, had twenty two assists in
13:15
Speaker 16: the game, had less than twenty fouls, which was kind
13:18
Speaker 16: of our goals. When the more than twenty assists, less
13:20
Speaker 16: than twenty fouls, which was good.
13:22
Speaker 4: I wanted ten turnovers or less. We had twelve.
13:24
Speaker 16: So overall, I think that we were really pretty decent
13:29
Speaker 16: considering all factors.
13:30
Speaker 4: First game of the year. Could have been worse, could
13:34
Speaker 4: have been better.
13:35
Speaker 16: But I think that the focus that we got to
13:37
Speaker 16: get to is there was a loll in that game
13:39
Speaker 16: for about eight minutes if you just picked apart, forty
13:42
Speaker 16: minutes or just some kind of lull there, and we
13:45
Speaker 16: got to get to where we can play that for
13:46
Speaker 16: forty minutes of just high intensity, high pressure defense and offense.
13:50
Speaker 16: You know, on the other team, we're not necessarily playing
13:53
Speaker 16: Northwestern States. Even though all these things mattering, you gotta
13:58
Speaker 16: a can just not get up to win. You got
13:59
Speaker 16: win by certain ounce for the tournament, the computer rankings
14:02
Speaker 16: and all that for them say tournament. We're playing for
14:04
Speaker 16: the long game here, and so even late in that game,
14:07
Speaker 16: we're trying to play as if, hey, we got to
14:11
Speaker 16: do things. We got to keep getting better so we
14:12
Speaker 16: can compete in SEC. That's what we're really focused on.
14:16
Speaker 16: Some individual performance were pretty good. I thought Josh Holloway
14:20
Speaker 16: was really good in that game. He's been with us
14:22
Speaker 16: the longest, playing really good basketball, highest percentage, highest plus minus,
14:27
Speaker 16: and it was great to see him play that way.
14:29
Speaker 16: Ruby Domingus played like a pro and let the game
14:32
Speaker 16: come to him. I thought Fetty Fetti was great in
14:33
Speaker 16: that game. Others played well, but those were probably the best.
14:38
Speaker 16: I thought they had the biggest impact in that game.
14:41
Speaker 17: But yeah, with all these hats playing in their first game,
14:45
Speaker 17: how much of it do you feel like they fully
14:48
Speaker 17: grasp your style of basketball? And then I also wanted
14:51
Speaker 17: to ask you said, aside from that low, what are
14:53
Speaker 17: some of the ways that you feel like after this
14:55
Speaker 17: first game you could really get that.
14:57
Speaker 16: Yeah, you know, I think that they grasp what we
15:01
Speaker 16: want to do. It's just we got to get the
15:03
Speaker 16: total intensity up where it's sustained for forty minutes.
15:06
Speaker 4: And how that we're going to do it. That's gonna
15:08
Speaker 4: be That's got to be the key. I've never had
15:10
Speaker 4: a team though, for what it's worth that I've coached,
15:11
Speaker 4: just had that in the first game of the year.
15:13
Speaker 16: The teams way further ahead with that then a lot
15:17
Speaker 16: then I would have expected. To have so many new players,
15:20
Speaker 16: hopefully it will be the lead the furthest behind going forward,
15:24
Speaker 16: but have so many new players, that's probably there a
15:27
Speaker 16: little further ahead that I thought with that, because it's
15:28
Speaker 16: not the easy style to play. You got to play
15:30
Speaker 16: fast and aggressive throughout. So what we got to improve
15:33
Speaker 16: on obviously is like I said, forty minutes of just
15:35
Speaker 16: unrelenting effort. That's why we're playing to the end right there.
15:38
Speaker 16: You know, we're we're picking up. We're working on that
15:41
Speaker 16: right now. Half court defense got down beat down the
15:43
Speaker 16: slot too much, you know, just off the dribble from
15:46
Speaker 16: the gap. We got to control the gap better. And
15:49
Speaker 16: I thought we got too still happy in the half court.
15:51
Speaker 16: Our deal needs to be aggressive defense in the full court,
15:54
Speaker 16: solid defense when we get to the half court. We
15:56
Speaker 16: probably got just too still happy on defense right there.
15:59
Speaker 16: And then I'll so you just can't have a lull
16:01
Speaker 16: on offense like we did that bass popped in the
16:03
Speaker 16: first half and late we kind of rested on offense.
16:06
Speaker 4: That can't happen.
16:07
Speaker 18: And the moment you got here, you sold offense and
16:11
Speaker 18: tempo offense from your guys. Do you feel like ninety
16:14
Speaker 18: eight points was a good way to kind of back
16:16
Speaker 18: that up in the first performance?
16:18
Speaker 16: Yeah, you know, points can be misleading, Get Tom, because
16:20
Speaker 16: I thought they tried to slow the tempo down and
16:22
Speaker 16: a lot of I mean, you could say the ball
16:24
Speaker 16: went through the net.
16:25
Speaker 4: They try to let it roll for ten seconds, tried
16:26
Speaker 4: to slow the tempo down.
16:28
Speaker 16: You know, obviously, you percentage just matter. I wanted to
16:31
Speaker 16: be above fifty percent from the field, we're right at fifty.
16:33
Speaker 16: I want to hold them a low forty percent from
16:35
Speaker 16: the field, and they were right at forty. So I
16:38
Speaker 16: think good passing leads to good baskets, right, And I
16:42
Speaker 16: think if you asked me why did we not get
16:45
Speaker 16: to one hundred, I would say it was because we
16:47
Speaker 16: had two turnovers.
16:48
Speaker 4: We need only have ten, and we would have more
16:49
Speaker 4: shots at the basket.
16:51
Speaker 11: The full court pressure seemed like gave them a lot
16:53
Speaker 11: of issues, But you also give up some long passes,
16:56
Speaker 11: some open shots out of it. How would you kind
16:58
Speaker 11: of assess how effective it were, maybe what led to
17:01
Speaker 11: some of those lapses.
17:03
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean it's just those we will give up
17:05
Speaker 16: some of those. It's just the cost of doing business.
17:07
Speaker 16: It is what it is, right, you know. And I
17:09
Speaker 16: think the thing is they can score those in the full,
17:11
Speaker 16: they can score them in the half. But you know,
17:14
Speaker 16: the total of what we want to do is lean
17:16
Speaker 16: on the other team throughout a game so that not
17:18
Speaker 16: only that they suffer defense that they're often suffers, but
17:23
Speaker 16: that their defense starts to suffer less deep balls probably
17:28
Speaker 16: than I expected in reality. I mean, just being real
17:31
Speaker 16: with you, I mean, it's just what it is, like
17:33
Speaker 16: it takes them a second to get it.
17:35
Speaker 4: But overall positive.
17:37
Speaker 16: In the game, I would say, overall positive in the game.
17:40
Speaker 16: We'll keep getting better and better with that. We trapped
17:42
Speaker 16: a lot in this game. Sometimes we'll pick up, we
17:44
Speaker 16: won't trap, but because we need to work on it, right,
17:47
Speaker 16: I mean, we got to work on our back line
17:49
Speaker 16: stretching up. We probably could have gotten more stops just
17:52
Speaker 16: picking up, not trapping as much, maybe, but we wouldn't
17:55
Speaker 16: be able to work on the things we wanted to,
17:56
Speaker 16: and we probably wouldn't have won by as many points
17:59
Speaker 16: because we want more possessions in a game, right.
18:01
Speaker 7: It's gonna take Pop some time to get to the player.
18:04
Speaker 11: You know he can be, but for his first action
18:07
Speaker 11: live game in eleven months or what you like from
18:10
Speaker 11: him or notice.
18:10
Speaker 16: From him, I thought he'd got better as a game
18:12
Speaker 16: went along. I think he was a little nervous when
18:14
Speaker 16: it started, just because he hadn't played so long.
18:17
Speaker 4: You know, it's weird because our team hadn't.
18:18
Speaker 16: Practiced with Pop out there, so it's not just him
18:22
Speaker 16: playing well and figuring it out. It's like everyone else
18:24
Speaker 16: kind of knowing how to play with him, right, I mean,
18:28
Speaker 16: you know, Marshall read's a great quarterback, but hey, if
18:31
Speaker 16: he doesn't practice and he shows up game one, it's
18:33
Speaker 16: not just about and he plays just as everybody know
18:36
Speaker 16: right how to play with him. And so I think
18:39
Speaker 16: that that's just gonna keep getting better and better. But overall,
18:41
Speaker 16: for since went out a year, just be able to
18:43
Speaker 16: play defense and go three freight from the field, that's
18:47
Speaker 16: a positive.
18:48
Speaker 4: I guess to that end too.
18:49
Speaker 3: You said last week he was going to be a
18:50
Speaker 3: game time decision.
18:51
Speaker 11: So just what did you see from his progression this
18:53
Speaker 11: last week that made uncomfortable enough to play tonight?
18:55
Speaker 16: Yeah, you know, we thought we could play him between
18:57
Speaker 16: fifteen and twenty minutes.
18:58
Speaker 4: We're right in between. That pain was all good.
19:02
Speaker 16: We obviously weren't gonna put him out there if he
19:05
Speaker 16: wasn't good to go.
19:07
Speaker 4: I think that you can.
19:08
Speaker 16: You got a theory on this that you can sit
19:10
Speaker 16: players until they're fully ready to play. There they're allocated minute,
19:13
Speaker 16: but once the season starts, you're not practicing the same
19:15
Speaker 16: way we didn't practice today.
19:16
Speaker 4: He has to use this as is practice, that's what
19:19
Speaker 4: you got to use it like.
19:20
Speaker 16: And so that was a plan and hopefully wakes up
19:25
Speaker 16: tomorrow and he's paying for you like he was when
19:26
Speaker 16: we left that locker room.
19:28
Speaker 18: Cool little moment at the end there for Chris to
19:30
Speaker 18: get two points from being the guy that kind of
19:32
Speaker 18: was a little bit of a glue there to start
19:33
Speaker 18: out with.
19:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, Chris is a glue guy.
19:35
Speaker 16: I mean he'll get more minutes than he played tonight, right,
19:37
Speaker 16: I mean, we got it. We got a deep team,
19:40
Speaker 16: and you know it's it's good because when you have
19:45
Speaker 16: a deep team, it's just if someone's not doing.
19:47
Speaker 4: Their jobs, the next guy's gonna play.
19:49
Speaker 16: And we got a deep team, not because we got
19:51
Speaker 16: you know, ten guys on the NBA draft board right now.
19:54
Speaker 4: We got ten solid, good players.
19:56
Speaker 16: That's what we got and so therefore it's gonna be
20:00
Speaker 16: different people's nights every other game, and he'll get some minutes.
20:04
Speaker 4: Chris is a scrapper and is about winning.
20:06
Speaker 11: Was the proportion of threes to other shots about what
20:09
Speaker 11: you'd like?
20:11
Speaker 16: Let's see what we're thirty one seventy one shots. They
20:14
Speaker 16: usually like at fifty to fifty. So you know, maybe
20:16
Speaker 16: if we got some more up, but you know, you
20:18
Speaker 16: got to play with the game dictates, right, and so
20:22
Speaker 16: you know it's close though thirty five shit, took thirty
20:25
Speaker 16: five there.
20:25
Speaker 4: I feel good about it.
20:26
Speaker 16: You know, how about some of the playmakers they had,
20:30
Speaker 16: you know, that's some of their guards pretty ain't good.
20:32
Speaker 3: You know.
20:33
Speaker 16: Obviously number five went off in that game at twenty eight,
20:36
Speaker 16: shot at well, four for four from three, and so
20:40
Speaker 16: they gave us a good test.
20:41
Speaker 8: Man.
20:41
Speaker 16: They're well coached, they know what they're doing, and their
20:44
Speaker 16: guards were athletic, right, I mean you saw some of
20:46
Speaker 16: these players with their four comes over and pinshots off
20:48
Speaker 16: the glass.
20:49
Speaker 4: We got something out of that game. They had a plan,
20:52
Speaker 4: so that was good for us as well.
20:54
Speaker 19: I wanted to ask you it was, Yeah, Michael Thomas
20:57
Speaker 19: with twenty eight points to night for them, is that
21:00
Speaker 19: something playing, you know, against guard that talented this early
21:04
Speaker 19: in the season that you think will prepare you well
21:06
Speaker 19: when you go kind of deeper to non conference plan
21:09
Speaker 19: and an SEC play.
21:11
Speaker 4: Yeah.
21:11
Speaker 16: I mean everybody's got good players. I mean people are
21:14
Speaker 16: some play times, teams are going.
21:16
Speaker 4: To get off on us.
21:17
Speaker 16: I mean that's just the way it is. Because it's
21:18
Speaker 16: a full full court game. You know, went four for
21:22
Speaker 16: four from three. He made some tough ones, but they
21:25
Speaker 16: also missed some open ones. Right, But we obviously want
21:29
Speaker 16: to play good players. We want to play well coached teams,
21:31
Speaker 16: and we want to play teams I can get us better.
21:33
Speaker 4: We got better tonight, that's for sure.
21:36
Speaker 19: And then three games in the first week of this season.
21:38
Speaker 19: Do you think that's something that will prepare you well
21:40
Speaker 19: as the year goes on, just kind of the intensity
21:42
Speaker 19: to get you know, that schedule to start get the year.
21:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you can only do so much. You
21:47
Speaker 4: saw in that game. I don't know if you felt
21:49
Speaker 4: like you know, most people they don't.
21:52
Speaker 16: You know, I've coached how we played for a long time,
21:55
Speaker 16: so most people would be like, well, I didn't know
21:56
Speaker 16: what you're saying saying, but there was just a lull,
21:59
Speaker 16: not a significant low, not like a you probably looked
22:03
Speaker 16: like a regular basketball game. But then you saw times
22:05
Speaker 16: in that game we're just unrelenting effort, you know, put
22:09
Speaker 16: on the gas pedal, foot on their throat, right, and
22:14
Speaker 16: we were.
22:15
Speaker 4: Like that for most of the game. But thanks, you're
22:18
Speaker 4: not all the game.
22:19
Speaker 16: So our goal next game is how do we turn
22:22
Speaker 16: that up to Maybe you got twenty five minutes that night,
22:25
Speaker 16: let's get to twenty eight. Then maybe the next time
22:27
Speaker 16: was at thirty one, and then you build that up
22:29
Speaker 16: and you're able to do it for forty minutes and
22:31
Speaker 16: you're strong. You know, that's when you become a tough
22:33
Speaker 16: team to play against.
22:34
Speaker 4: What do you think what do you think you remember
22:36
Speaker 4: most about coaching your first game here? Good question. I
22:44
Speaker 4: don't know.
22:44
Speaker 16: It's weird that it was my first game and it
22:46
Speaker 16: was one hundred to winning college.
22:47
Speaker 4: That was pretty weird, you know what I'm saying. No,
22:50
Speaker 4: it was fun.
22:51
Speaker 16: Just I guess I'll remember that that. I remember those
22:56
Speaker 16: guys put on that water them in the locker room,
22:58
Speaker 16: that they just did.
23:01
Speaker 1: You feel like you're closer to finding those groups of
23:04
Speaker 1: five on the court that really gelled well together.
23:07
Speaker 4: Probably not.
23:08
Speaker 16: You know, we got Pop's first game back in Mckenzienbacco.
23:12
Speaker 16: You know, uh, it's highly tided player in.
23:15
Speaker 4: A lot of ways on our team.
23:16
Speaker 16: Hadn't practiced uh with this group yet with everybody, So
23:20
Speaker 16: it's gonna take some time. Obviously, we're not gonna have
23:24
Speaker 16: games where everybody gets that many minutes.
23:26
Speaker 4: You know, tighten up as we go along.
23:28
Speaker 16: But in the process, you know, this is good that
23:31
Speaker 16: we can look at look at different groups because we
23:33
Speaker 16: got to be able play different ways sometimes it's gonna
23:35
Speaker 16: be our press that wins a game. Sometimes it can
23:37
Speaker 16: be a lockdown half court. Sometimes it's gonna be running.
23:39
Speaker 16: Sometimes it's gonna be half court offense. So we've got
23:41
Speaker 16: to find out who can do what and who can
23:42
Speaker 16: play it well with each other. And that's why basketball
23:45
Speaker 16: is a conference sport and then the year sport, because
23:48
Speaker 16: this is the time when you find those rotations.
23:50
Speaker 19: First game from the Red red and crowdwell does that like?
23:53
Speaker 4: That was great?
23:53
Speaker 16: I was glad, you know, I felt them, glad they
23:55
Speaker 16: were there. We appreciate everybody coming out and fight. And
23:57
Speaker 16: I know it's hey, looking from Alabama, it's still November.
24:01
Speaker 16: This isn't even basketball season yet a lot of people's minds,
24:03
Speaker 16: but hey, we're fighting to get to the innsay tournament,
24:06
Speaker 16: and we accomplished that goal tonight in step one didn't win.
24:11
Speaker 16: But then also there's a certain amount that you got
24:13
Speaker 16: to look at when you're in this deal with the
24:14
Speaker 16: metrics that you gotta win by. That's just the way
24:17
Speaker 16: that it is. And so we don't want to be
24:19
Speaker 16: on that bubble and miss out. So we appreciate everybody
24:22
Speaker 16: coming out fighting with us. And look, we're gonna have highs.
24:24
Speaker 16: We're gonna have loads with this group, There's no question
24:26
Speaker 16: about that. And we just got to stay together and
24:29
Speaker 16: just keep fighting.
24:30
Speaker 1: You got shot nearly fifty percent from the floor, but
24:32
Speaker 1: still got forty four rebounds, including seventeen offensive.
24:36
Speaker 20: How impressed were you with the you know they're playing
24:38
Speaker 20: on the boards.
24:39
Speaker 16: Well, so, like that's how it all ties together a
24:41
Speaker 16: lot of times, and I thought there's times we didn't
24:43
Speaker 16: attack the glass, but like you know, we pick up
24:45
Speaker 16: on misshots and made shots in the full court. So
24:47
Speaker 16: on misshots we crash five players so that we can
24:50
Speaker 16: match up and pressure.
24:52
Speaker 4: So like it goes together, like we'll give out.
24:54
Speaker 16: Some runouts on misshotsh they're shooting laoffs, but we're also
24:57
Speaker 16: getting a high number of offensive rebounds because we're able
24:59
Speaker 16: to crash five, gonna pick a full court after we
25:01
Speaker 16: miss so the whole thing kind of ties together. We
25:05
Speaker 16: wanted to have ten more shots than they did, and
25:07
Speaker 16: you kind of measure that by the turnover margin and
25:10
Speaker 16: an offensive rebound margin. I think we had eleven was
25:12
Speaker 16: the difference in that. So when you do that, that's
25:16
Speaker 16: usually going to equate to winning basketball.
25:18
Speaker 1: So I mean that was a clinic I hope you
25:20
Speaker 1: listened to figure out what's going on with the with
25:23
Speaker 1: this team at the at the first part. You know,
25:28
Speaker 1: Scott Clinton and I were sitting together last night. I said,
25:31
Speaker 1: this what you're going to find, I think throughout the
25:34
Speaker 1: year because of the style of play is you're going
25:37
Speaker 1: to have a lot of ten oh runs by A
25:40
Speaker 1: and M. And you're going to have a lot of
25:42
Speaker 1: ten oh runs by the other team. Right, That's that's
25:47
Speaker 1: what this style of play is going to be. The
25:49
Speaker 1: idea is to get up more shots, which they did.
25:54
Speaker 1: They got up thirteen more shots than the opponent last night.
25:59
Speaker 1: So in order to get off more shots, you've got
26:03
Speaker 1: to be plus on the turnover margin, and A and
26:06
Speaker 1: M was plus four on the turnover margin. I think
26:10
Speaker 1: rebounding could be an issue with this team in the
26:15
Speaker 1: long run when they play more athletic teams and they
26:18
Speaker 1: get in the league play. That's at least what I'm
26:22
Speaker 1: thinking might happen. I just I want to see and
26:27
Speaker 1: it's going to be a while. It may be in
26:29
Speaker 1: the December or later. With the best three players on
26:35
Speaker 1: the court at the same time, which is Griffin and
26:40
Speaker 1: Pop isaacs Imbaco, those are going to be your three
26:44
Speaker 1: best players, or should be your three best players, and
26:48
Speaker 1: they may not be ready and able to go, you know,
26:54
Speaker 1: for a while when you get them all together. And
26:57
Speaker 1: it was obvious Pop Isaacs hadn't played in eleven months.
27:01
Speaker 1: But he did get better as the game went on.
27:04
Speaker 1: You could see he got more comfortable. You know, he
27:09
Speaker 1: scored eight and sixteen minutes against not a lot about
27:13
Speaker 1: the score, but he had two assists. He also had
27:15
Speaker 1: three turnovers. That's going to get better. I did like age,
27:23
Speaker 1: but that was against a team you know that's not
27:26
Speaker 1: very good inside, with not a lot of beef inside,
27:29
Speaker 1: so he took advantage of that. He's a big body.
27:35
Speaker 1: Federico was an interesting guy because, look, he has played
27:39
Speaker 1: at the highest levels at Texas Tech for a top
27:42
Speaker 1: ten program, right and you know, he ended up playing
27:48
Speaker 1: almost eighteen minutes last night. He ended up with eight points,
27:58
Speaker 1: he ended up with eight rebounds, and I think he
28:01
Speaker 1: did he had a double double in that scrimmage against
28:04
Speaker 1: Arizona State, if I'm not mistaken. And it's interesting to
28:09
Speaker 1: see how he's going to mesh into this style because
28:12
Speaker 1: that certainly wasn't isn't what he's used to. He's not
28:18
Speaker 1: the swiftest guy on the court, so I'm interested to
28:24
Speaker 1: see how he's but he's a good player. How he
28:29
Speaker 1: is going to be incorporated. I like Holloway, I like Hill.
28:36
Speaker 1: Hill didn't have a great offensive night, but I like
28:40
Speaker 1: the athleticism with him and Lane. I think Ruben Domingus
28:45
Speaker 1: is going to come off the bench. I don't know
28:47
Speaker 1: that you know for sure going into conference play, but
28:53
Speaker 1: that's what I think is going to happen. And he
28:58
Speaker 1: produced four out of seven last night, four out of
29:00
Speaker 1: five from the line. You could tell that he's a shooter,
29:03
Speaker 1: he's comfortable doing it, and you know, we'll see what
29:07
Speaker 1: happens going forward.
29:10
Speaker 4: Rebounds.
29:12
Speaker 1: Oh, he did only have four boards, but he had
29:13
Speaker 1: double digit points eleven and four. Okay, okay, you know
29:20
Speaker 1: again without Mbaco, it's hard to tell about the front
29:24
Speaker 1: line so much, but there there is chaos. It does
29:31
Speaker 1: move quick, I tell you. The most impressive thing, probably
29:37
Speaker 1: to me, is how fast they played and only had
29:41
Speaker 1: twelve turnovers. Right, and Bucky said, the goal is ten.
29:46
Speaker 1: You get to ten, and again that's that's more shots
29:50
Speaker 1: you get to put up, and that's what the game
29:53
Speaker 1: is predicated on, getting shots up. A lot of shots.
29:57
Speaker 1: I was surprised they passed up as many three points
30:00
Speaker 1: shots as they did last night. That would have been
30:03
Speaker 1: my question afterward. I mean, they took thirty one threes
30:07
Speaker 1: and Bucky said, hey, we want to be about fifty
30:09
Speaker 1: to fifty so in seventy one shots, so they got close.
30:14
Speaker 1: But I was surprised, and I think part of that
30:17
Speaker 1: is first game. I think part of that is the players,
30:25
Speaker 1: you know, wanting to distribute and pass the ball. So
30:31
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting to see how things improve. The
30:34
Speaker 1: quality of competition will improve on Sunday. I don't know
30:38
Speaker 1: by how much, you know, I don't know about Oklahoma State.
30:42
Speaker 1: Traditionally they've been good and a solid big twelve team.
30:48
Speaker 1: I know it will be better than the first two games, right,
30:52
Speaker 1: and there will be other opportunities going forward. But I
30:58
Speaker 1: thought a pretty nice start last night. Over all, Oklahoma
31:03
Speaker 1: State placed not against Roberts, oh Oral Roberts, Okay, a
31:09

Speaker 27: And today we're going out to the Polaris Fund Center
34:15
Speaker 27: phone line to visit with the head football coach for
34:17
Speaker 27: the Marshall Mavericks, Jason Hammett.
34:18
Speaker 1: How are you doing today, right right?
34:21
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me on.
34:22
Speaker 27: Yeah, of course, thanks for coming on. You came into
34:24
Speaker 27: the Marshall program and took over in twenty twenty four.
34:27
Speaker 27: What were some of the challenges of taking over the program?
34:30
Speaker 3: Well, I was here was an assistance. I've been here
34:32
Speaker 3: two years with Coach Evarez. When he retired, we had
34:35
Speaker 3: a really pretty seamless transition from him to me. You know,
34:40
Speaker 3: I knew where the kids were, knew you know, I
34:42
Speaker 3: knew where we needed to work on things, and I
34:44
Speaker 3: knew what we had coming back. So I think I
34:46
Speaker 3: had advantage on that part, but but now we you know,
34:51
Speaker 3: it was one of those things you you kind of
34:53
Speaker 3: put your own spin on it and keep moving, you know,
34:56
Speaker 3: moving direction and keep coaching.
34:59
Speaker 27: And your program had a great season last year, going
35:01
Speaker 27: ten and three overall in five and one in district.
35:04
Speaker 27: What lessons did you learn from those successes and have
35:07
Speaker 27: you brought them into the season this year?
35:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, we talked a lot about adversity. I mean,
35:13
Speaker 3: you know, who who can overcome adversity? Last year four
35:16
Speaker 3: times we were down or tied at half time that
35:18
Speaker 3: we came back and win games. You know, those are
35:21
Speaker 3: the those are the difference maker kind of games. When
35:24
Speaker 3: when you look at the season, uh, we've already been
35:27
Speaker 3: in a little bit of that already.
35:29
Speaker 18: You know.
35:29
Speaker 3: We we went for two and had to defend a
35:32
Speaker 3: Hill Mary against Tyler early, uh you know legacy tie
35:37
Speaker 3: game late, you know, melt pleasant. We needed a defensive
35:42
Speaker 3: score to win the game. You know, these are all
35:44
Speaker 3: just some example I mean of our kids and how
35:46
Speaker 3: tough they play and and you know, willingness to to
35:50
Speaker 3: fight back and have some you know, great to you
35:53
Speaker 3: when when when adversity comes knocking.
35:55
Speaker 27: M and which influential players graduated last season, and are
36:00
Speaker 27: there anyone you like to highlight that stood out and
36:03
Speaker 27: really filled those shoes this season?
36:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, we lost a love We lost twenty seven seniors
36:09
Speaker 3: last year. We ended up losing seven and seven. You know,
36:14
Speaker 3: we lost seven off the offense and seven off the defense,
36:16
Speaker 3: so a lot of good players. You know, we had
36:18
Speaker 3: a really great running game last year. Were you know,
36:22
Speaker 3: twenty five hundred yards rushing last year. You know, our
36:25
Speaker 3: our two running backs, Samaje Gats and he's at Bland
36:28
Speaker 3: right now, and our other running back, Isaiah Bush is
36:31
Speaker 3: at East Texas Baptist, and then our quarterback out and
36:35
Speaker 3: account for a lot of the other yards. And obviously
36:38
Speaker 3: he's back. He's accounted for over a thousand yards this year. Russian.
36:42
Speaker 3: You know, his role has changed a little bit more,
36:45
Speaker 3: you know, in terms of how much he needs to
36:46
Speaker 3: carry the ball this year. And then on defense, you know,
36:50
Speaker 3: we lost you know, quite a few good players on defense.
36:52
Speaker 3: We lost both our defensive ends last year. Jayden Cooks
36:57
Speaker 3: is a kid that's out at sant Angelo Stay right now.
37:02
Speaker 3: And Caden Rodgers. Those two guys graduated, and then our
37:05
Speaker 3: two corners Damian Smith and DJ Gedoh. You know DJ's
37:09
Speaker 3: running track at Preview and Damien is running track at
37:14
Speaker 3: at Tyler. So placed the two corners and two d ns.
37:17
Speaker 3: You know, we've had a lot of kids step up.
37:20
Speaker 3: Jamarrion Sparks is a two way player for US players,
37:23
Speaker 3: receiver and corner. Monte Haynes plays the other corner. And
37:27
Speaker 3: then you know in D line it's a little different
37:29
Speaker 3: in terms of some of the schematic stuff, but you know,
37:33
Speaker 3: Brandon Richardson and Brion Williams have kind of anchored our
37:36
Speaker 3: D line this year.
37:38
Speaker 27: Yeah, And what has been your toughest matchup this season
37:41
Speaker 27: and what kind of lessons have you taken away from it?
37:45
Speaker 3: Well, you know, there's been quite a few tough ones,
37:48
Speaker 3: you know when you look back at it. You know,
37:50
Speaker 3: we you know, we play Longview long views and Marshall
37:54
Speaker 3: have played for one hundred and twenty years, you know,
37:57
Speaker 3: whether Marshall's five A and long View sit and all
38:01
Speaker 3: the things that long you can be you know, so
38:04
Speaker 3: so we we gauge our season a lot on long View.
38:06
Speaker 3: It's the second week of the year this year. Our defense,
38:10
Speaker 3: you know, really, you know, played a tremendous game against
38:15
Speaker 3: Longview kind of kept us in the game the whole
38:17
Speaker 3: night and we weren't able to win it, but you know,
38:20
Speaker 3: it kind of proved, you know, we have some toughness
38:23
Speaker 3: to us.
38:25
Speaker 27: And you faced Nakadocus last week. What do you think
38:27
Speaker 27: went well and where do you think your team was challenged?
38:31
Speaker 3: Well, you know, next having a great year. They you know,
38:35
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's the best year they've had
38:37
Speaker 3: in twenty years or something. They you know, they have
38:42
Speaker 3: a really good receiver. They challenged us and that aspect
38:45
Speaker 3: number eighty eight from that tremendous receiver. We had to do.
38:50
Speaker 3: You know, we had to have plans, multiple plans to
38:53
Speaker 3: to be able to limit him or stop him or
38:54
Speaker 3: slow him down, which we did. You know, we did
38:57
Speaker 3: some of those things. But you know, it was definitely
39:00
Speaker 3: a challenge for our defense, challenge for our defense coordinator,
39:04
Speaker 3: defensive staff. Uh, you know, we you know obviously did
39:08
Speaker 3: a bunch of good things. You know, we had two
39:09
Speaker 3: defensive scores last week against them, you know, and and
39:13
Speaker 3: and then offensively, you know, our quarterback rush for over
39:16
Speaker 3: one hundred yards and scored two touchdowns and three for
39:19
Speaker 3: another so plenty of good stuff. I mean, you know
39:22
Speaker 3: what just kind of proves again. You know, we're again
39:24
Speaker 3: in a game with them, and our kids were able
39:27
Speaker 3: to play tough, overcome adversity and win the game.
39:30
Speaker 27: And your next matchup is against Hallsville, correct, yes, sir,
39:34
Speaker 27: what are you expecting from that matchup? And how do
39:35
Speaker 27: you think your teams will clash?
39:38
Speaker 3: Well, you know, like this is twelve miles away, it's
39:42
Speaker 3: our in county rival. Uh, you know, it's one of
39:45
Speaker 3: those things, and you know it's just you know, it's
39:48
Speaker 3: a it's a robbery game. So you know, you got
39:50
Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of people on both sides.
39:53
Speaker 3: You know, a lot of you know, a lot of
39:57
Speaker 3: gray area in terms of you know, people who live
40:00
Speaker 3: in Marshall and go to Hallsville and people who live
40:02
Speaker 3: in in Hallsville go to Marshall. So, uh, you know,
40:06
Speaker 3: it's it's a rivaly game. You know they're a really
40:08
Speaker 3: good team, well coach team. Uh, you know you kind
40:11
Speaker 3: of see them getting better and better every week. Uh,
40:13
Speaker 3: you know, it's one of those games for us, you know,
40:15
Speaker 3: we have to play our game and and and get
40:17
Speaker 3: in the mindset of of not being perfect but coming
40:21
Speaker 3: out and you know, take advantage of the things we
40:25
Speaker 3: can take advantage of. And then you know, when we
40:26
Speaker 3: when we were limited, you know, limit, how bad that
40:29
Speaker 3: mistake might be.
40:31
Speaker 27: Yeah, exactly. And you have like around twenty three years
40:36
Speaker 27: of experience under your belt. With that kind of depth
40:39
Speaker 27: of experience, how do you like continue to learn and
40:41
Speaker 27: stay ahead of the curve?
40:45
Speaker 18: Oh?
40:45
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it's been a minute. You know. You take
40:50
Speaker 3: you take all the things you want. I mean, that's
40:54
Speaker 3: you know, if you don't you know, if you don't
40:57
Speaker 3: accumulate uh experiences and you don't learn from them, then
41:01
Speaker 3: it's not much good. Just because you're old doesn't mean
41:04
Speaker 3: you're you know, all your experiences you learn from them,
41:07
Speaker 3: you know. So that's tell I've looked at all the
41:11
Speaker 3: whole time. You know, you you've you got to look
41:14
Speaker 3: at what you have. I think one thing our staff
41:17
Speaker 3: does a great job of is evaluating the players we
41:20
Speaker 3: currently have and and trying to fit scheme to that.
41:23
Speaker 3: And I think that's probably you know, a high school
41:26
Speaker 3: coaching probably number or lesson we should all learn is
41:28
Speaker 3: you know, you know, it's got to be right for
41:31
Speaker 3: the kids. It's not right for the kids, and then
41:33
Speaker 3: then it's not gonna work.
41:34
Speaker 27: Yeah, last few questions for you here, coach, What metrics
41:38
Speaker 27: are indicators besides just wins and losses do you use
41:41
Speaker 27: to measure whether or not your program is advancing both
41:43
Speaker 27: on and off the field.
41:47
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's a good question. I mean, you know,
41:51
Speaker 3: wins and losses absolute matter. We play at a high level,
41:54
Speaker 3: you know, in Texas and five A football. If you
41:58
Speaker 3: don't win, you're not gonna be a lot around long
42:00
Speaker 3: enough to do do some of the other stuff you
42:03
Speaker 3: want to do. You know, you you know, I you know,
42:05
Speaker 3: I know it's someone cliche or whatever, but I think
42:07
Speaker 3: most most high school coaches are in this to help kids,
42:12
Speaker 3: you know, make better kids out of it. And uh
42:15
Speaker 3: that's always the goal we have. And we see strides kids,
42:19
Speaker 3: you know every week where a kid who is you know,
42:23
Speaker 3: in trouble or you know, not making grades or you know,
42:29
Speaker 3: down on themselves and and you know, getting those kind
42:32
Speaker 3: of wins where you see a kid who's who's overcome
42:35
Speaker 3: a lot and is able to go be successful. And
42:38
Speaker 3: those are the you know, those are prior true measure
42:41
Speaker 3: of a program. And then wins and losses. But you know,
42:44
Speaker 3: and in our game, you know, you don't win enough
42:47
Speaker 3: and you won't have a chance to do those things right.
42:51
Speaker 27: And as you take this program into the next phase,
42:53
Speaker 27: what's your vision for the next level for Marshall football
42:57
Speaker 27: over the next three to five years and what are
42:58
Speaker 27: some of the milestones that you want my head?
43:02
Speaker 3: Well, we continue to play uh you know, uh continue
43:07
Speaker 3: to play tough games. I mean last year we lost
43:09
Speaker 3: to you know, three really tough teams. We lost to Longview,
43:11
Speaker 3: Texas High and and uh south of Cliff. You know,
43:15
Speaker 3: this year we've lost the long View in Texas High.
43:20
Speaker 3: You know, for us to get over the hump on
43:22
Speaker 3: some of those kind of games is ultimately the gauge
43:27
Speaker 3: of a program. I do caution people about like just
43:31
Speaker 3: the idea that it's a linear progression that you're just
43:34
Speaker 3: automatically on the rise.
43:36
Speaker 1: Uh.
43:36
Speaker 3: You know, we we coach high school kids and uh
43:40
Speaker 3: you know, next year we'll bring a whole new set
43:42
Speaker 3: of challenges, uh, you know, how to get those kids
43:46
Speaker 3: to to perform. Uh. So obviously we want to make
43:50
Speaker 3: those trides, not not just the wins and losses, but
43:53
Speaker 3: you know how we're you know, adding depth to the
43:56
Speaker 3: program and and and how we're helping kids change our line.
44:01
Speaker 4: Very well put.
44:01
Speaker 27: Thank you so much for your time, Coach.
44:04
Speaker 3: I appreciate you, Yes, sir, Good luck out there.

49:04
Speaker 34: All right, welcome back, thanks for being with us. Earlier
49:09
Speaker 34: this morning, I caught up with director of the new
49:12
Speaker 34: film Nuremberg and co star John Slattery. I had some
49:17
Speaker 34: self inflicted technical issues, so we're going to pick up
49:22
Speaker 34: the interview with James Vanderbilt, the director talking a little
49:27
Speaker 34: bit about the compelling story of the Nuremberg Trials.
49:31
Speaker 33: But instead got orders to go to Morndorff and meet
49:35
Speaker 33: John Slattery's character Burton Andrews. She said, look upstairs, we
49:39
Speaker 33: have the entire surviving Nazi high command and your job
49:42
Speaker 33: is to evaluate them to see if they would be
49:44
Speaker 33: fit to stand. Trial was fired in the European theater
49:49
Speaker 33: of May seventh, nineteen. But it is no less thrilling
49:54
Speaker 33: or exciting that, you know. It's sort of we described
49:56
Speaker 33: some of these scenes a sort of verbal gunfights, you know,
50:00
Speaker 33: because the stakes could not be higher in terms of
50:02
Speaker 33: what is going on, and the fact that you know,
50:06
Speaker 33: Michael Shann's character Robert Jackson said we have to have
50:10
Speaker 33: these trials. The US Army didn't want to have the trials,
50:12
Speaker 33: which was something I didn't know about, but they just
50:14
Speaker 33: want the Nazis and be done with it. And he says, no,
50:16
Speaker 33: we have to do this. And not only did he convinced,
50:19
Speaker 33: you know, these four countries to do it, he then
50:21
Speaker 33: took a leave of absence from the Supreme Court, traveled
50:23
Speaker 33: in Nuremberg and became the chief US prosecutor. So it
50:25
Speaker 33: was almost like building the airplane while he flew it.
50:28
Speaker 1: John, how did you get involved in the project? Pretty some,
50:31
Speaker 1: by the way, some pretty decent actors in this film yeah.
50:36
Speaker 9: I got a call from James and he informed me
50:39
Speaker 9: that Russell Romie Mike Shannon were involved. And then I
50:46
Speaker 9: read this great script, and I read the book that
50:49
Speaker 9: my character wrote on his own and the Jack eel
50:52
Speaker 9: High book, and I mean, this is the kind of
50:54
Speaker 9: material that you dream of, A great story with great
50:58
Speaker 9: actors and a director who knows is the greatest resource
51:03
Speaker 9: on the subject, and Darius Wolski shot it. I mean,
51:10
Speaker 9: all the effort gone into the whole proceeding. You show
51:13
Speaker 9: up for work and you can't believe it, and it
51:17
Speaker 9: really motivates you to bring your best work to the situation.
51:21
Speaker 1: You have been exceptionally busy. I mean, I'm not sure
51:24
Speaker 1: you've ever slowed down. And my guess is, and I
51:27
Speaker 1: know you're on a project right now. Do you have
51:30
Speaker 1: projects lined up going into the future.
51:35
Speaker 9: I did a television series that just was picked up
51:38
Speaker 9: for a second season of The rain Maker, so we'll
51:41
Speaker 9: see what becomes of that. I'm currently in between assignments.
51:48
Speaker 1: As they say, how often do you get asked about
51:51
Speaker 1: mad Men? And I apologize ahead of time for doing that.
51:56
Speaker 9: I'm often, I suppose, but you know, I think defiably.
52:00
Speaker 4: So it was it.
52:02
Speaker 9: Was a really well executed story that I'm glad I did.
52:08
Speaker 9: I'm glad it resonated as well as it did with everybody,
52:11
Speaker 9: and you know, I'm happy to talk about it.
52:14
Speaker 1: When you took the job, what did you.
52:15
Speaker 4: Expect of this job?
52:19
Speaker 1: No, the badman job? What what did you expect?
52:22
Speaker 4: It's funny.
52:23
Speaker 9: Matt Weiner told me that this would be a great part.
52:25
Speaker 9: There was about I think there were one scene, maybe
52:27
Speaker 9: two scenes in the pilot, and he claims that I
52:29
Speaker 9: was in a bad mood the whole time we shot
52:31
Speaker 9: the pilot because I wasn't sure if I believed him
52:33
Speaker 9: or not. I'm not sure that's true, but uh, I
52:37
Speaker 9: mean you could tell how good the script was, and
52:39
Speaker 9: he was as good as his as his word.
52:41
Speaker 4: The part turned out to be pretty okay.
52:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was okay, James. How long have you known John?
52:48
Speaker 1: How did you guys get together?
52:50
Speaker 4: We've met on this?
52:52
Speaker 33: On this I thought you were gonna ask me how
52:53
Speaker 33: many times have I asked John about He can't.
52:57
Speaker 4: Stop talking about it.
52:57
Speaker 9: I'm so we met on we met.
53:00
Speaker 33: The first time we spoke was was about this role.
53:02
Speaker 33: I had been an enormous fan of his for years
53:04
Speaker 33: and years and years we figured out that I had
53:06
Speaker 33: seen John on stage on Broadway, Neil Simon way, you know,
53:13
Speaker 33: years and years and years ago. My father took me
53:16
Speaker 33: and it was you know, so I was, you know,
53:19
Speaker 33: just sort of I think we talked about, Think the
53:20
Speaker 33: first thing we talked about was.
53:21
Speaker 4: Neil Simon, just because I was.
53:24
Speaker 33: I was and am in awe of of that that experience.
53:29
Speaker 1: You're you're one, You're one of those guys that started
53:32
Speaker 1: like right out of school. It was obvious, at least
53:35
Speaker 1: looking at it, that you knew what you wanted to do.
53:39
Speaker 33: I mean, I'm very lucky I was able to start
53:41
Speaker 33: right outside of school. But I wanted to be a writer.
53:43
Speaker 4: Since I was five years old.
53:44
Speaker 33: So it's just this is kind of I'm really happy
53:47
Speaker 33: I can make a living at this because I have
53:49
Speaker 33: no other marketable skills whatsoever.
53:52
Speaker 1: I tell you know, it's funny you say that I
53:54
Speaker 1: tell the same people all the time. All I do
53:56
Speaker 1: is talk, and I couldn't do anything else. So, uh, John,
54:01
Speaker 1: You've also been in a couple of also favorites comedies
54:05
Speaker 1: Arrested Development and Veep, I mean, two of the greatest comedies. Ever.
54:08
Speaker 1: How did how did all of that work out for you.
54:12
Speaker 9: Uh again, it's just the material.
54:15
Speaker 29: You know.
54:15
Speaker 9: You look for something that you that you that you get,
54:19
Speaker 9: that that you figure you could that you could do
54:22
Speaker 9: a good job of. And whether it's a comedy or
54:25
Speaker 9: a play or a film or a television situation, you're
54:30
