  We're back with Dan Hurley. We're here in Hartford and iHeartMedia headquarters. Tell
• 0:05
  us so quickly about your European vacation. Was it a vacation. I know
• 0:09
  you did some cooking. I can't imagine it. What did Andrews say about
• 0:13
  what you came up with the PAIEA and how did that go over? My
• 0:18
  team won? I did see that in the I was involved in a lot
• 0:22
  of the preparation, but I did. I did kind of like influence the
• 0:26
  judges. Oh, it's important to me to win. Yeah, I understand
• 0:31
  that. I saw video of guys jumping off boats into the water. I
• 0:35
  don't know. Was that in Italy, Spain? It was? It was
• 0:38
  that was in the south of France. We were Monaco, Monico was It
• 0:41
  was a crazy place to go visit like a total fantasy land. There's probably
• 0:46
  not many places in the world like that. And then you know, by
• 0:50
  the time you you know, get to you know, a certain point on
• 0:54
  the trip, you know you're you're ready to go. I mean this,
• 0:58
  you got like a team with you and you're you know, you're like,
• 1:02
  you don't let your guard down a lot, you know, because it's not
• 1:04
  it's not a real It doesn't feel like a vay case. You did play
• 1:07
  three games, so the competition what I saw wasn't much. Is that what
• 1:12
  you Is that what you're looking for? I mean they were second division,
• 1:18
  you know, second division in Spain and and and the French team. No,
• 1:23
  I mean it's not. No. Smoking is still prominent in Europe.
• 1:30
  But when I went there in eighty eight with the Celtics, Johnny Mosse was
• 1:34
  our radio guy. I was doing TV. He would smoke during the game
• 1:37
  underneath the broadcast booth. Now that's thirty forty years ago and they're still smoking
• 1:42
  there. Yeah. Yeah, I think they just smoke, like right before
• 1:46
  the game. The nerves, you know. Oh is that the nerves they
• 1:51
  need the nicotine? Oh okay, that's good to know. That's good to
• 1:55
  know. Big East obviously starts in January. Whenever you play your first game,
• 2:00
  there's some different looks. I mean, Rick Patino's making a lot of
• 2:02
  noise. I read the New York papers all the time. It's an old
• 2:05
  habit of mine. And they got Rick Patino getting that team into the top
• 2:08
  twenty five, getting back to the tournament. I just think that brings a
• 2:12
  lot of juice to this conference. The music's going right now. I don't
• 2:15
  know I say anything. I mean we're done one mine, all right,
• 2:21
  yeah, one minute, Yeah, listen, you want the league to be
• 2:23
  as good as the league could be. There's nothing worse than playing like quad
• 2:28
  three or Quad four games in conference because conference games are brutal no matter what
• 2:34
  the records are for the most part. So you you know, you want
• 2:38
  to play a lot of games that are going to help your NCAA resume in
• 2:42
  league, not destroy it if you lose. And we've had too many of
• 2:46
  those types of games in the past. I mean, Son Georgetown being better,
• 2:50
  Saint John's being better. It's it makes biggies more compelling, and it's
• 2:53
  gonna help us seed higher in the tournament. All right. Thanks to Dan
