Speaker 1: It is showtime, Darry Pleas. Good evening, everybody, Greetings from
Speaker 1: the original Montgomery in home of the world's Greatest ReBs.
Speaker 1: I'm Dan Horde with former Bearcats stand out Terry Nelson
Speaker 1: and the star of the show, the head coach of
Speaker 1: your UC Bearcats. Let's hear at four Wes Miller. Great
Speaker 1: win for the Bearcats last night, eighty eight to fifty
Speaker 1: one the final score over Alabama State. I'm sure some
Speaker 1: people listening that might not know much about Alabama State
Speaker 1: kind of roll their riyse and think, well, they can't
Speaker 1: be very good. Well, it's a team that went to
Speaker 1: the NCAA Tournament last year, won a game in the
Speaker 1: NCAA Tournament last year, beat UAB on the road. This year.
Speaker 1: We know Andy Kennedy always wins twenty games a year
Speaker 1: at UAB. They almost beat New Mexico in the pit,
Speaker 1: which is one of the toughest places to win in
Speaker 1: the country. Their previous game before Cincinnati an eight point
Speaker 1: game against Missouri. So yes, Alabama State is from the sweat,
Speaker 1: but they've got some good players and to beat them
Speaker 1: by the biggest margin that any team has beaten them
Speaker 1: this year says a lot about your team's performance last night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, certainly you know you guys know this. Mike Roberts,
Speaker 2: who's as close as I am to anybody and coaching him,
Speaker 2: was an assistant here our first two years here as
Speaker 2: an assistant at New Mexico, and he had the scout
Speaker 2: and I called him after their game and I said, hey,
Speaker 2: we get ready to play those guys. I'm gonna call
Speaker 2: you back, and he said, let me just tell you something.
Speaker 2: Get your guys under the pretense now that they're a
Speaker 2: hell of a lot better than their name. They're really good,
Speaker 2: and there's two guards that can go for thirty against anybody,
Speaker 2: and so they are a better team than their name.
Speaker 2: I thought, we did some nice things and we're more
Speaker 2: consistent last night, and so that's something that we can
Speaker 2: build off of moving forward.
Speaker 3: Talk about doing some nice things. Bobba Miller did some
Speaker 3: really nice things. I mean, you got a career high
Speaker 3: at twenty six fourteen rebounds, you know, career high seventeen
Speaker 3: rebounds a couple games, but fourteen rebounds and multiple don't
Speaker 3: think he had seven or eight, eight, eight, So he
Speaker 3: was absolutely going to work. We got Santa Claus coming
Speaker 3: down the Chimney in their headphones.
Speaker 1: Joe is on the case.
Speaker 4: He's fixing it.
Speaker 3: But what's it like having a guy like You've had
Speaker 3: good teams, but good teams that don't have a guy.
Speaker 3: It makes it tough to coach because you're trying to
Speaker 3: figure out how to get a good shot when you
Speaker 3: need one, Baba, you just he finds himself with his
Speaker 3: hands on the basketball all the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he uh, his ability is it just jumps off
Speaker 2: the page. I think anybody that watches him run up
Speaker 2: and down the court and makes some of the plays
Speaker 2: he makes, it's it's very noticeable to the eye. Getting
Speaker 2: him to play with force so that ability affects every
Speaker 2: possession has been the goal since he got here. I
Speaker 2: think he's had stretches year where he's done it consistently,
Speaker 2: you know, And I mean this because he's I'm really
Speaker 2: proud of his development. I'm proud of his start to
Speaker 2: the year. But in our previous two games, I thought
Speaker 2: he did it in the first half and he dipped
Speaker 2: in the second half. I thought he sustained it last night.
Speaker 2: He sustained his effort on the board, He put pressure
Speaker 2: on the rim in different ways, he ran the floor hard.
Speaker 2: He did a nice job in screening roll and then
Speaker 2: you know, all of a sudden, you look up and
Speaker 2: he has a line that was historic. Actually I think
Speaker 2: there was. He made some history with his line last night.
Speaker 1: So, as I mentioned to Terry, eight dunks, team had thirteen.
Speaker 1: I don't ever recall seeing a Bearcat have eight dunks
Speaker 1: in a single game. And over the last thirty years
Speaker 1: this program has had some of the best dunkers ever.
Speaker 1: James White, you know, I don't know. Well, we had
Speaker 1: a debate on the radio last night. The three of
Speaker 1: us tried to say, who do you think might have
Speaker 1: had eight dunks in a single game. Eric Hicks came
Speaker 1: up Sea that was Steve Logan's pick. Moegger said, Kenyon,
Speaker 1: I went with Jason max Siel because he was close
Speaker 1: to the basket and he never laid it up.
Speaker 3: The last person I've seen dunk eight in the game
Speaker 3: was Obi Topping a couple of year that shut it down.
Speaker 3: He actually had eleven dunks in that game. It was
Speaker 3: Windmills through the legs. Nevertha. This guy's number one pick
Speaker 3: and then the season shut down. But he was he
Speaker 3: was phenomenal.
Speaker 1: Your Carolina days. Somebody must have been closed to eight
Speaker 1: dunks in a game, I would think.
Speaker 2: Not that I can recall him. I played with the
Speaker 2: guy named Tyler Hansbro and he he got the ball
Speaker 2: within two three feet. It felt like thirty times a
Speaker 2: game because you weren't allowed to do anything until he
Speaker 2: touched it, and he wouldn't get a pascet, but he
Speaker 2: never He didn't dunk it a lot. He'd get fouled
Speaker 2: and kind of fists. Yeah. Yeah, but eight dunks in
Speaker 2: a game significant, Yeah, But I think more than the dunks,
Speaker 2: it's the mentality did he played with. That's what he
Speaker 2: has to sustain, and I think he can. He can
Speaker 2: continue to have great impact.
Speaker 3: Corey and I were having this conversation. Other than Kenyon
Speaker 3: Martin and Corey Blunt, I can't remember a center that
Speaker 3: or a guy over six ten, whether it be forward
Speaker 3: or center, that ran the floor like Baba Miller, like
Speaker 3: every transition play, he's in the play, Like when I
Speaker 3: watched Lebron James, which one of the reasons that makes
Speaker 3: them so good. He's on every fast break. Same with
Speaker 3: you know, whether it was Jordan Kobe, Shaquille O'Neill, karmelone.
Speaker 3: They lead the break or they get out because they
Speaker 3: want to be a part of that action. In the
Speaker 3: open court, he runs every play and somehow it finished.
Speaker 3: He finished his plays in spectacular fashion, and it seems
Speaker 3: like he can.
Speaker 4: Go for at a high level for a long period
Speaker 4: of time.
Speaker 2: Well, I've really been pushing him to run more consistently
Speaker 2: and to kind of win those first three steps. James
Speaker 2: Worthy will say that, yeah, last break, when we get
Speaker 2: when we get the ball right, that that split second
Speaker 2: to get him out and win those first three steps,
Speaker 2: And that's been very unnatural for him. He's been a
Speaker 2: poor conversion guy. Now, once he starts running, he's extremely fast,
Speaker 2: and I think that the eye sees that when you
Speaker 2: watch us play. But getting that conversion in that moment
Speaker 2: and winning those first three steps, I think is the
Speaker 2: key because you don't realize that, but that split second
Speaker 2: it's probably the difference in about ten or twelve feet
Speaker 2: running the floor absolutely red. So I think he's improving
Speaker 2: that it was better last night. It's something we're hard
Speaker 2: on him about. The Other thing I think that I
Speaker 2: noticed in the open floor with his dunks last night
Speaker 2: was other guys were down the floor as well, so
Speaker 2: there was pressure on the baseline, corners were filled. Maybe
Speaker 2: somebody ran a lane in front of him and took
Speaker 2: a defender with him. So it's always the collective group,
Speaker 2: not just the player. But he's really good at finding
Speaker 2: those lanes when he's out running.
Speaker 1: It was an awesome night for Gisel James. He entered
Speaker 1: the game, got a huge ovation, a standing ovation for
Speaker 1: many people in the lower Bawl, and then he went
Speaker 1: out and brilliantly looked like he hadn't missed a practice,
Speaker 1: much less the game. Sixteen points in twenty minutes. You
Speaker 1: acknowledged on the postgame show. He even exceeded your expectations
Speaker 1: a bit for his first game back.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I didn't have a lot of basketball expectations for him
Speaker 2: last night and didn't want to put that kind of
Speaker 2: pressure on him. But he has been practicing. We kept
Speaker 2: that very quiet, mainly for the other players. We didn't
Speaker 2: want questions at every day and every game and on
Speaker 2: their phones about win's all that kind of crap going on.
Speaker 2: But he has been practicing for weeks now. I don't
Speaker 2: know the amount of days, A couple of weeks, three weeks,
Speaker 2: something like that, so it's not as if he hasn't
Speaker 2: been playing basketball, but for not playing in a game,
Speaker 2: and as long as he has to come out and
Speaker 2: play like that, I was I was surprised.
Speaker 3: I thought you guys coming out and making a conscious
Speaker 3: effort to get the ball down low to start the
Speaker 3: game really.
Speaker 4: Opened it up.
Speaker 3: Before you you said this thing where you like playing
Speaker 3: inside out instead of outside out. Did you feel like
Speaker 3: you had? But once you threw it into Mustafa, he
Speaker 3: kicked it back out to Baba, and Baba hit the three.
Speaker 3: That's the kind of offense you want to see going forward.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know you're gonna make more shots
Speaker 2: when you get a higher quality shot. And when the
Speaker 2: ball comes inside out, it touches the paint, it gets relocated.
Speaker 2: Guys are stepping in. You're gonna good shooters are gonna
Speaker 2: make shots at a higher level. Pats shooter's gonna make
Speaker 2: shots at a higher level. And so the first possession
Speaker 2: of the game, we did a nice job of getting
Speaker 2: it into Mustafa from the top of the key. We
Speaker 2: call those top downs, and he did a nice job. Again,
Speaker 2: I'd have been fine if he turned and shot his
Speaker 2: jump hook there, but he kicked it right back out
Speaker 2: to Baba. And inside out in rhythm, and Baba's can
Speaker 2: really shoot, but it's about taking the right ones, and
Speaker 2: that was the right one and it was good to
Speaker 2: see it go down to start the game.
Speaker 1: In the practices that I've attended since Chisel has been
Speaker 1: practicing again, it looked like to me he was just
Speaker 1: trying to be part of the team. Wasn't taking a
Speaker 1: lot of shots, was really passing the ball, trying to
Speaker 1: play good defense, almost taking like a subservient role for
Speaker 1: lack of a better expression. Then he got out in
Speaker 1: the court in the game and it looked like his
Speaker 1: just natural instincts took over. Is that about how he's looked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Gisel's done a great job of trying
Speaker 2: to assimilate back into our team. You know, the first
Speaker 2: thing he did, we didn't just bring him back to
Speaker 2: campus and he started practicing. He came back to campus.
Speaker 2: He wasn't allowed in the locker room, he wasn't allowed
Speaker 2: in practice, but he was allowed to work out and
Speaker 2: he sought out all the players on the team and
Speaker 2: apologized to him personally, told him that he just wanted
Speaker 2: to be a part of the team again, that he
Speaker 2: missed the team we had Thanksgiving at my house. And
Speaker 2: you know, my girlfriend Lauren made this board and they
Speaker 2: had she put sticky notes, and she asked everybody that
Speaker 2: came through the door to write on a sticky notes
Speaker 2: something they were thankful or grateful for and stick it
Speaker 2: on the board. Kind of is an idea for Thanksgiving,
Speaker 2: which was a terrific idea, and I was looking at
Speaker 2: after all the guys left, wrote I'm thankful to be
Speaker 2: a part of a team again, you know, like I
Speaker 2: think he just it's really just he just wanted to
Speaker 2: be a part of it. And uh, I think he's
Speaker 2: had that. He just wants to fit in and assimilate.
Speaker 2: So I give him credit. I give our players credit
Speaker 2: for accepting him back.
Speaker 4: And Dan just wrote his name on the security board.
Speaker 4: He didn't do any of that stuff.
Speaker 1: I just wondered if anybody put up a sticky note
Speaker 1: that said I'm glad Terry didn't show even after he
Speaker 1: got invited.
Speaker 4: Powhouse shots fired.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, it's about the time I got even
Speaker 1: te Now, all right, we're gonna take a time out.
Speaker 1: We are live with the original Montgomery in the home
Speaker 1: of the world's greatest ribs. It's the West Miller Radio
Speaker 1: Show in seven hundred WLW Reginal Montgomery in home of
Speaker 1: the world's greatest Ribs and the West Miller Radio Show.
Speaker 1: Appreciate the Bearcat fans who are here with us to night.
Speaker 1: We've got some stuff to give away at the end
Speaker 1: of the show, that is always the case, usually some
Speaker 1: Bearcat gear, some tickets. So if you want to come
Speaker 1: out and join us in the weeks to come, typically
Speaker 1: Thursday nights, although we've got a show coming up on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: December thirtieth, but for the most part, Thursday nights eight
Speaker 1: to nine here at the original Montgomery and the Bearcats winners.
Speaker 1: Big last night, thirty seven point victory over Alabama State
Speaker 1: Cincinnati now seven and four this year and getting set
Speaker 1: for a tough game coming up on Sunday on the
Speaker 1: road in Greenville, South Carolina against Clemson. Technically not a
Speaker 1: home game for Clemson, but it is that's very close
Speaker 1: to their campus. They've got to win over Georgia this year,
Speaker 1: the only team that's been able to beat Georgia. That
Speaker 1: was an overtime win for the Tigers. So another excellent
Speaker 1: test for your team on Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're very good it's we wanted to schedule up
Speaker 2: in this non conference slate, and you know, this is
Speaker 2: one of those games that I think allowed us to
Speaker 2: do so. So it is a road game. You know,
Speaker 2: Greenville's there's more Clemson fans in Greenville than there are
Speaker 2: in Clemson. His Clemson's a really small town if he
Speaker 2: hadn't been there before, but Greenville's forty minutes away. So
Speaker 2: I think it's a great opportunity. We're geared up and
Speaker 2: excited for it, and we were at work today and
Speaker 2: we'll be at work the next two days preparing.
Speaker 3: You have your leading score back from last season, and
Speaker 3: it seems like his positioning puts everybody else in position
Speaker 3: that we're playing out of position, or minutes that they
Speaker 3: shouldn't be playing past what they can contribute to the team.
Speaker 4: What's it like.
Speaker 3: Having your lead dog back knowing that at any moment, yes,
Speaker 3: he can run the team with any moment, he can
Speaker 3: also power you with scoring and playmaking for others.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't want to put too many expectations on
Speaker 2: Jisel to start. I think we have to allow him
Speaker 2: to kind of find his way, and I think that's
Speaker 2: the best way to approach it. But you know, I
Speaker 2: do think it's it's pretty obvious that having somebody with
Speaker 2: his physical presence in the backcourt is noticeable. It allows
Speaker 2: you to play different kinds of lineups, Like we're playing
Speaker 2: with a little bit of a smaller lineup and he's
Speaker 2: out there. You still don't feel quite as physically insignificant,
Speaker 2: you know, because he has physical presence.
Speaker 3: Did he did he gain weight? It looks like five
Speaker 3: to ten pounds heavier, like more muscle.
Speaker 2: He's been working out like crazy, So I don't know,
Speaker 2: but uh, but no, And I think Terry. The other
Speaker 2: thing is he can play, you know, multiple positions on
Speaker 2: and off the ball, and he can make make a
Speaker 2: lot of reads in a pick and roll. It's hard
Speaker 2: to speed him up, it's hard to get underneath him,
Speaker 2: and then he can shoot off the ball. So no, listen,
Speaker 2: we all have known that Jisel. He was an All
Speaker 2: League player last year honorable mentioned. Certainly there's going to
Speaker 2: be some positive impact there over time.
Speaker 1: Kirk Rees alled your team with seven assists last night.
Speaker 1: He was also one for nine from outside the arc.
Speaker 1: You know he can shoot. He's got a proven track
Speaker 1: right in college basketball. My question for you is there
Speaker 1: were a couple of instances last night where he took
Speaker 1: a three, missed it, somebody got an offensive rebound, kicked
Speaker 1: it right back to him. He shot another three and
Speaker 1: missed it. Is he one of those guys that you
Speaker 1: just tell him keep shooting, you're good, it's gonna go in.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, But I don't think with Curry you have to,
Speaker 2: because he has tremendous self belief. He's got I don't
Speaker 2: want to. Can I say it on air? Don't you
Speaker 2: say it?
Speaker 4: For him?
Speaker 2: Man? He's not afraid of the moment. He's not afraid
Speaker 2: of a mistake, and I think that's going to service
Speaker 2: well in conference play and finishing off our non conference slate.
Speaker 3: We gotta get your video guys to send YouTube videos
Speaker 3: of Dennis Robin to Halven because they almost to the.
Speaker 4: How they look, how they're built. Halven gets opposite.
Speaker 3: Side almost every time whether he gets the rebound.
Speaker 4: He only had one last.
Speaker 3: Night, but he was active on several attempts trying to
Speaker 3: get offensive rebounds.
Speaker 4: He runs the floor very well.
Speaker 3: But Dennis Rotmins would have had a similar role where
Speaker 3: his job was to go in there and mix it up,
Speaker 3: grab a rebound, kickingback out, grab another rebound, kickingback out
Speaker 3: and play tough defense.
Speaker 4: I'd say started sending those reels over there. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think if anybody turned into Dennis Rodman on our team,
Speaker 2: that'd be great. But I think Calvin's improvement from last
Speaker 2: year to this year is so incredibly significant, and we've
Speaker 2: been seeing that all fall and in our practices. I
Speaker 2: think last night everybody else got to see it, and
Speaker 2: I thought that was really cool because he hasn't necessarily
Speaker 2: shown that in the opportunities he's had up till last night,
Speaker 2: but he was able to give us really positive I
Speaker 2: thought his defense, his pick and roll defense was excellent.
Speaker 2: I thought he made a couple of really timely plays.
Speaker 2: I love that he caught a love in transition running
Speaker 2: the floor. He actually ran the floor really well to
Speaker 2: create some of those opportunities for Baba that you were
Speaker 2: talking about. He won our Defensive Award for the game,
Speaker 2: and so it was good to see the things we've
Speaker 2: seen in practice happen. Now. We really we really miss
Speaker 2: Tyler McKinley. I mean, the second half of the Georgia game,
Speaker 2: that was a massive blow, you know, to come out
Speaker 2: of halftime and realize that he can't play. He's such
Speaker 2: an important piece to our team. But you know, like anything,
Speaker 2: they're silver lining, it's giving hal Being some extended minutes
Speaker 2: and he's he's really making the most of them.
Speaker 1: It's a lower body injury for Tyler. Do you expect
Speaker 1: him back soon?
Speaker 2: I hope and pray and whatever you can do. I'm
Speaker 2: doing it. I mean, you know, like if I was Catholic,
Speaker 2: what do they call it? The hillsiers and all that stuff,
Speaker 2: like you do it all okay, but uh, you know,
Speaker 2: one of these days we're going to coach a team
Speaker 2: that we put together full a hole and that'll be
Speaker 2: that'll be fun. But uh but no, I really do,
Speaker 2: I really do hope that he's gonna be okay, and
Speaker 2: he's gonna he's gonna try to do some things here
Speaker 2: over the next couple days. So we'll see.
Speaker 3: What is the bug Celeste that makes some such a
Speaker 3: clutch shooter at the end of shot clock situations.
Speaker 2: I think, is he like he is there like some
Speaker 2: situations where at the end of the clock you've.
Speaker 4: Seen that he's the bailout guy.
Speaker 2: I think the thing about JC is he's got a
Speaker 2: lot of experience. It's it's he's just now finding his
Speaker 2: sea legs a little bit. Like he won our deflection total,
Speaker 2: which is another defensive category regrade last night. He was
Speaker 2: so happy about it in film. He said, I promised
Speaker 2: Coach Stowe I was gonna win it, and he said
Speaker 2: I couldn't. Then he got five last night. But he's
Speaker 2: starting to get his sea legs and he's starting to
Speaker 2: move with athleticism. There's a play last night where they
Speaker 2: tried to drive him on the right wing and he
Speaker 2: just turns and beats a kid to the spot and
Speaker 2: gets some positions, goes up to shoot a jumper and
Speaker 2: he didn't leave his feet and blocked the shot. And
Speaker 2: it's like, that's an athlete, you know. I've been telling him.
Speaker 2: I'll always tell him every day, play like an athlete,
Speaker 2: like because he's an athlete.
Speaker 3: But Bob Huggins never told me that I did the
Speaker 3: same thing against Donald Williams at North Carolina in the
Speaker 3: lead eights right to go to overtime. I blocked it
Speaker 3: when I was jumping, and Hugs just got over here
Speaker 3: and said, rebounded damn ball, Like he didn't even acknowledge
Speaker 3: the fact that I blocked this shot.
Speaker 4: That sends it the overtime. But you said he was
Speaker 4: a hell of an athlete.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I said retro play like an athlete.
Speaker 4: Come on, but you can't keep changing up and just
Speaker 4: say go back retro. I'm an athlete now.
Speaker 2: Uh Donald Williams, that's my that's my voice. That's a
Speaker 2: good mention tonight. He's different, but uh no, So, I
Speaker 2: think the thing about him is the more he gets
Speaker 2: his sea legs. He's a great shooter. He knows how
Speaker 2: to find a shot. So when he's playing around action,
Speaker 2: he has these little ways to separate, to shoot a
Speaker 2: catch and shoot shot, to separate with a little dribble.
Speaker 2: So it doesn't surprise me that you feel like he's
Speaker 2: been able to find some shots late in the clock.
Speaker 2: I think he can find him at any point.
Speaker 1: I want to get back to healthy and zella for
Speaker 1: just a moment. He did something last night that I'm
Speaker 1: not sure that I've seen before. I thought he boxed
Speaker 1: out a guy too well. He looked like Michael Orr
Speaker 1: in the blind Side blocking a kid right out about
Speaker 1: It's like he was so intent on boxing this guy
Speaker 1: out he actually wound up like.
Speaker 2: Too far from the ball.
Speaker 1: You remember what I'm talking about can't box well exactly
Speaker 1: if you get exactly, that's part of it, right.
Speaker 2: We always use the term box out plus pursue. That's
Speaker 2: when we teach we see, he's got to work on
Speaker 2: that box, box out plus pursue because just blocking out
Speaker 2: ain't good enough the goals to get the damn thing
Speaker 2: Dan And but uh no, he's again, his improvements significant.
Speaker 2: I think he he's going to have to play really
Speaker 2: important minutes for us here moving forward, and I'm I'm
Speaker 2: proud of the fact that he was able to do
Speaker 2: it in the real game last night.
Speaker 1: We didn't see much of Buck Harris last night. He
Speaker 1: had like a heating pad on his back in the
Speaker 1: second half, what's his status?
Speaker 2: Took that spill against Georgia and after his first rotation
Speaker 2: he just felt like he couldn't move, so respected him
Speaker 2: trying to give it an effort. But uh but again,
Speaker 2: I'll shoot that. It's like almost laughed that one last night,
Speaker 2: because you don't know from time out to time out
Speaker 2: who you got type of thing. But uh so, anyway,
Speaker 2: but you know, hopefully, hopefully he'll be feeling a little
Speaker 2: better by the time we take the floor in Greenville
Speaker 2: on Sunday.
Speaker 3: Isn't the assignment of Kissan Tillery to probe into paint
Speaker 3: and make sure that he keeps his dribbling fine, guys
Speaker 3: instead of you know, just sort of sitting the top.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think you know, you guys, the hardest the hardest
Speaker 2: position to plays freshman point guard, and that's that's a
Speaker 2: difficult position. Kishan is a playmaker and so trying to
Speaker 2: find that balance of making plays but valuing the ball,
Speaker 2: which is also so important from the point guard position.
Speaker 2: He's working through that and uh, he's he's doing a
Speaker 2: nice job of improving. But I think when he does
Speaker 2: get really deep into the paint, not leaving your feet,
Speaker 2: you know, not throwing it away. Uh, if you have
Speaker 2: nobody to throw it to, keeping your dribble a lot.
Speaker 2: We call that gnashing because Steve Nash used to do
Speaker 2: that so much years and years ago.
Speaker 1: Yep, Nelson Nelson for any it takes a charge nelsoning.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you need the little chart.
Speaker 2: T Nelling Kerr is leading.
Speaker 4: He's got like ten one per game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the terminology is funny, but the no, I think
Speaker 2: that is a key for him is to continue to
Speaker 2: value the ball but still be himself.
Speaker 1: T Nelling either can be taking a charge or saying
Speaker 1: yes to another glass of red wines. That's it, the
Speaker 1: two possibilities for t nelling yes.
Speaker 2: I like the basketball analogy better.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a time out. Questions from the
Speaker 1: audience when we continue. This is the West Miller Radio Show.
Speaker 1: We're live at the original Montgomery In, Home of the
Speaker 1: World's Greatest Rips and seven hundred WLW. We are back
Speaker 1: at the original Montgomery In, Home of the World's Greatest
Speaker 1: Rips and the West Miller Radio Show. Appreciate the Bearcat
Speaker 1: Fancer with us here tonight. We'll give away some stuff
Speaker 1: at the end of the show. You have to be
Speaker 1: here in order to win. Now, let's get some questions
Speaker 1: from the audience. We go to section two six with
Speaker 1: the what is it two O seven? I always say
Speaker 1: two six and it's two o seven. All right, it's
Speaker 1: the coach who does her work from section two O seven.
Speaker 1: At least take it away.
Speaker 5: Well, my first question is as a fan, so you
Speaker 5: kind of mentioned a bit how Gissel had to apologize
Speaker 5: to all of his teammates before coming back. Was there
Speaker 5: any conversation that you had with the team to make
Speaker 5: sure they were okay with him coming back knowing with
Speaker 5: whatever what all he had said and put out on
Speaker 5: social media to the world.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, and some of some of its family business
Speaker 2: guys like some of it doesn't need to be public,
Speaker 2: but certainly the team heard from me and we talked
Speaker 2: together before he was back in Cincinnati, and then before
Speaker 2: he was able to practice. I actually met with each
Speaker 2: Perst player individually to make sure that that was comfortable
Speaker 2: for them, and then I met with the team again
Speaker 2: before we decided to allow them to play, to make
Speaker 2: sure everybody was supportive of that. So yeah, the teams
Speaker 2: had a lot of say in it. I love that.
Speaker 5: So my question is coach assistant coach. I was at
Speaker 5: the Atlanta in Atlanta for the game, and so I
Speaker 5: got moved, I got upgraded to just behind the bench.
Speaker 5: I tried to get down to the bench, but they
Speaker 5: wouldn't let me.
Speaker 1: They draw the line.
Speaker 2: Eventually they did.
Speaker 5: I think it might have been because I had on
Speaker 5: regular street clothes. But so I was watching more of
Speaker 5: the warm up. I kind of just wanted to see
Speaker 5: what was going on because I was so close and
Speaker 5: growing up, you know, watching the teams of old your predecessors,
Speaker 5: Huggins grown in. Like I remember being at games for
Speaker 5: everyone because I worked in athletics, and you would see
Speaker 5: them out with the bags and like going up to
Speaker 5: the big men and doing those kind of warm ups.
Speaker 5: I don't see that from how they warm up now.
Speaker 5: I see a lot of jumpers, three pointers, what have you?
Speaker 5: What kind of warm up are those big men doing.
Speaker 5: I saw improvement and in an Alabama State game, but
Speaker 5: with Houston in the league games coming up, I just
Speaker 5: the inside presence is what we need, and that's all.
Speaker 2: I don't know what time you got there, how early
Speaker 2: you were. I'm not out there. I don't come out
Speaker 2: during their pregame warm ups, but I do have a
Speaker 2: lot of say in what goes on during them. Obviously
Speaker 2: they do pad work, and I say pad work, sometimes
Speaker 2: it's actually a grad assistant or a coach that gives
Speaker 2: them physical resistance without a pad. But it's the same thing.
Speaker 2: They do resistance work on the interior, whether it's post moves,
Speaker 2: duck ins, wedging, weeks out rebounding, which is like a
Speaker 2: They do that and shoot around every game day. They
Speaker 2: also do it in their post perimeter breakdown in the
Speaker 2: early part of their warm up but as they get
Speaker 2: to the I don't know the end of their warm up,
Speaker 2: it's layups to get their blood flowing and then free shooting,
Speaker 2: which we kind of added this year to see who
Speaker 2: help our shooting? That was an assistant coach's idea. But
Speaker 2: they do do that as part of their warm up,
Speaker 2: the pad or the resistance work in their post perimeter breakdown.
Speaker 2: I just don't know what time he got there.
Speaker 1: All right, where are we going next?
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, hey coach, I'm a student, so hopefully you'll
Speaker 6: see me in the student section and upcoming games.
Speaker 4: Love that. I had a question.
Speaker 6: We saw Gigsel James come in and he clearly had
Speaker 6: a spark and the team seemed to feed off of
Speaker 6: his energy coming in this game. How do you expect
Speaker 6: to roll that over into the future games coming up
Speaker 6: and the rest of the schedule, especially going at a
Speaker 6: big twelve plat.
Speaker 2: Well, I think I think Gigsel just has to continue
Speaker 2: to do what he's done here for the last two
Speaker 2: or three weeks, and that's keep his head down, have
Speaker 2: the right mentality and practice every day, keep building a
Speaker 2: rapport with his teammates and the opportunities that he gets
Speaker 2: and Honestly, That's what I told him last night when
Speaker 2: he checked in. I said that no pressure, but go
Speaker 2: play like Gigsel James, you know, and Gizzl's always had
Speaker 2: a little flare when the lights come on. So as
Speaker 2: as Dan mentioned earlier, he was better. He was better
Speaker 2: last night than he wasn't any practice, which kind of
Speaker 2: surprised me. But uh, uh no, I think he just
Speaker 2: needs to keep taking the steady steps and Gizzle Gizzle
Speaker 2: can do great things. Everybody already knows that about him.
Speaker 2: That's gonna happen over time here. But I don't want
Speaker 2: to put too much pressure on him in the first
Speaker 2: couple of weeks that he's back playing same table.
Speaker 7: Hey, coach, Uh, you'll be going against a former Bearcat
Speaker 7: in Victor Lockin Uh this Sunday.
Speaker 4: How do you anticipate skip? I guess Victor.
Speaker 2: Victor would love to get like an eighth year of eligibility.
Speaker 2: I'm sure of it. Uh. And if he ever hears that,
Speaker 2: he'll laugh great sense of humor.
Speaker 4: He's he is.
Speaker 2: He's with the Oklahoma City Thunders Uh organization. He did
Speaker 2: have a bad injury. He made he made it through
Speaker 2: his first injury less season at Clemson last year, no injury,
Speaker 2: and then he got He got hurt a couple of
Speaker 2: weeks after the season in a in a in a
Speaker 2: camp for seniors that graduated Portsmouth Imitational, which was really
Speaker 2: sad because he was in a really good position professionally,
Speaker 2: but Oklahoma City still still took him. I don't know
Speaker 2: in what capacity, but Victor loves Cincinnati. He also played
Speaker 2: that last year at Clemson, so he'll be tuned in.
Speaker 2: I'm sure he texted me when he saw the game
Speaker 2: was released.
Speaker 8: Brian, coach, you mentioned Bobby Miller's line, and it was
Speaker 8: a pretty good line. I'm gonna go back a little
Speaker 8: bit because we've kind of been talking about some stuff
Speaker 8: from the past, and this might be more for Dan
Speaker 8: and Terry than you.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if you're aware of this.
Speaker 8: How do you pull him out when he's so close
Speaker 8: to a Barbara Walters.
Speaker 1: A twenty twenty very good, very good, Dan very good
Speaker 1: had twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: The truth is, guys, I I it during the game,
Speaker 2: wor coach, and I have no idea like the individual
Speaker 2: player stats. I mean, I know who's playing well and
Speaker 2: who's not, and who's shooting it well and who's not.
Speaker 2: And if you said, you know, what were they, I
Speaker 2: could probably give you a good guess. But I didn't
Speaker 2: know that he was that close. That's that's somebody else's job.
Speaker 2: You know. If there's a chance to get one more
Speaker 2: rebound or one more assist or something special, somebody should
Speaker 2: come mention it. He wasn't that close, but I did.
Speaker 2: I did. I don't remember what it was, but our
Speaker 2: sid Brett Rybak, who does a terrific job, came up
Speaker 2: to me walking into press conference said it was one
Speaker 2: of the best stat lines in the history of the program,
Speaker 2: which is saying something, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I wondered if you have somebody, you know, kind of
Speaker 1: a lower level assistant, who would say, hey, this guy
Speaker 1: needs one more assist for a triple double or something
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And in most nights you wouldn't care. But if
Speaker 2: you if you had a game like last night and
Speaker 2: somebody was that close, you might run one more play
Speaker 2: and see if they can. If you can see him
Speaker 2: up for something, all.
Speaker 1: Right, who's got the mic way.
Speaker 9: One of the things I enjoy the most watching college
Speaker 9: basketball is a team that does a good job of
Speaker 9: interior passing with the big guys and it seemed like
Speaker 9: last night, I've seen a little more of that than typical.
Speaker 9: I don't know if I just noticed it more, or
Speaker 9: is that something you've kind of worked on to try
Speaker 9: to get him doing.
Speaker 2: It's it's so interesting that you asked that question in
Speaker 2: our October summer practices. In October practices, I thought this
Speaker 2: was the best interior passing team that I've ever been
Speaker 2: a part of playing coaching because Jalen Haynes had like
Speaker 2: a twenty five percent assist ray last year at Mason.
Speaker 2: He's like a wildly good passer and an interior passer,
Speaker 2: Baba has that ability to kind of pass over the
Speaker 2: top and make quick decisions how he can also catch
Speaker 2: over the top and catch low, and you know Boba's ability.
Speaker 2: You could see that MoU Is is a better passer
Speaker 2: than he looks because his fundamentals don't always look as clean,
Speaker 2: but his touch is good, so he's improved there. And
Speaker 2: then the best interior passer on our team is Tyler McKinley.
Speaker 2: He's elite and he didn't play last night. But one
Speaker 2: of the things that we've identified that we've done really
Speaker 2: well on offense when we've had good possessions is we've
Speaker 2: played really well in the pocket generally with Tyler and
Speaker 2: Meu and Baba, where they catch it in the middle
Speaker 2: of the floor and they make a really really nice
Speaker 2: play to somebody for a dunk or somebody for an
Speaker 2: open shot. We need more of that, and then certain
Speaker 2: defensive coverages allow for that. When people get really aggressive
Speaker 2: in the pick and roll, that pocket pass is open.
Speaker 2: And so again I do think that's the strength of
Speaker 2: our team. We got to get more out of that strength.
Speaker 2: I think would be the thing I'd say, play more consistently.
Speaker 1: There was it sean of byaps best passing game.
Speaker 2: Yes, said as much to him today. You know he's
Speaker 2: going through that process of trying to figure out how
Speaker 2: much to shoot, how much to drive, how much to create,
Speaker 2: when to pass. And it's pretty fun because he's you know,
Speaker 2: you're watching him evolve in front of our eyes. But
Speaker 2: I think he's figuring out how important it is to
Speaker 2: play downhill. He got to the foul line last night,
Speaker 2: how important it is to facilitate and make good decisions
Speaker 2: and then the shots will come his way. And I thought,
Speaker 2: other than maybe a couple there at the end of
Speaker 2: the game, I thought his shot selection was much better
Speaker 2: last night.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a time out or from the
Speaker 1: original Montgomery In, Home of the World's Greatest Ribs. Whant
Speaker 1: we continue? This is the West Miller Radio Show. I'm
Speaker 1: the Home of the Cats, seven hundred WLW. We are
Speaker 1: back at the original Montgomery In, Home of the World's
Speaker 1: Greatest Ribs and the West Miller Radio Show here on
Speaker 1: News Radio seven hundred WLW. I'm looking over at TL.
Speaker 1: Do we have another question for the audience?
Speaker 3: Yes, we have a question from the audience, but the
Speaker 3: person doesn't want to be identified, so they anonymously gave
Speaker 3: me the question. So the question is, coach Wes, what's
Speaker 3: your philosophy on end of halftime plays?
Speaker 2: So if it's not to throw it to the other team.
Speaker 10: No, I think the question was if it's you know,
Speaker 10: seventeen and you're counting it down all the way to
Speaker 10: seven or eight before you make your move, this person says,
Speaker 10: it seems like there's some chaos at the end of it.
Speaker 10: You end up throwing up a shot instead of just
Speaker 10: going with seventeen seconds and trying to score and then
Speaker 10: let put the pressure.
Speaker 4: On them to score on defense.
Speaker 2: Well, last night it was good, we called time out,
Speaker 2: we called time out, we scored. Then we actually double
Speaker 2: team so they couldn't hold for the last shot and
Speaker 2: we dunked it at the buzzer. So we had a
Speaker 2: four run to finish the half last night. So last
Speaker 2: night it was good at the end of the half.
Speaker 2: But no, I think I don't want to say too
Speaker 2: much in case somebody's listening, but I think I think
Speaker 2: it's a possession game. So what you're trying to do
Speaker 2: is make sure that you don't give the other team
Speaker 2: last shot. So I think that's the goal. But when
Speaker 2: you when you don't execute or you don't get And
Speaker 2: I'm not going to tell you what my execution rules
Speaker 2: are because right now you can't tell from watching our
Speaker 2: team anyway. So it is a mystery. But there is
Speaker 2: a method to the madness. And by the way, I mean,
Speaker 2: there's been some years that I think it's been a
Speaker 2: massive differentiator how we play the last minute, the behalf,
Speaker 2: and how we play the possession game. Last night was
Speaker 2: the first example of that that have this year. We
Speaker 2: did we were masterful at the end of the end
Speaker 2: of the half last nast night, but it has not
Speaker 2: been that way. But you don't want to settle for
Speaker 2: a leaping heaping three pointers step back. You want to
Speaker 2: put some pressure on the rim and have a chance
Speaker 2: to get foul.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm glad this came up because last night
Speaker 1: you called a time out, maybe thirty seconds left in
Speaker 1: the half, okay, and naturally.
Speaker 2: We actually are supposed to kill the two for one,
Speaker 2: which is really interesting. And our bench did a great
Speaker 2: job practice this all the time. If somebody scores at
Speaker 2: the end of the half, the clock doesn't stop. Not
Speaker 2: at the end of the game, the clock stops. So
Speaker 2: we got scored on okay, with like forty one seconds left,
Speaker 2: and we teach our bench because it's always in front
Speaker 2: of our bench at the end of the half, to
Speaker 2: scream kill it. And what we do is we don't
Speaker 2: take the ball out. We just kind of let it bounce.
Speaker 2: We walk over to it, you know, and you try
Speaker 2: to make sure you imbound it and then collect the
Speaker 2: ball with under thirty so you get the last possession
Speaker 2: of the half. So it was great. Jalen Haynes, actually,
Speaker 2: who's such a bright player, He's screaming kill it, and
Speaker 2: Baba just kind of didn't listen, and then he picked
Speaker 2: it up and then he heard it before he inbound it,
Speaker 2: so he froze for a second. But once you are
Speaker 2: taking it out, you can't hold it for ten seconds.
Speaker 2: And then instead of like letting it just like slowly
Speaker 2: bounce up the floor so Kirk could pick it up,
Speaker 2: he threw it towards the socket and then we we
Speaker 2: had to pick it up and it was like still
Speaker 2: an eight second differential. So then we took our thirty
Speaker 2: once we crossed half court, but we did. We did
Speaker 2: score four straight at that point, and that was pretty good.
Speaker 2: So we ended up getting the two for one.
Speaker 1: Ironically, here's my question, because when you called that time out, naturally,
Speaker 1: we kind of speculated, all right, he's drawing up the
Speaker 1: you know what he wants on offense for the final possession.
Speaker 1: And then after you scored, they come up the floor,
Speaker 1: cross center court and immediately double team the ball handler
Speaker 1: right there.
Speaker 2: We didn't want them to hold right, you know. And
Speaker 2: you know, again, there's not as much in with so
Speaker 2: many new players guys, so like we don't have a
Speaker 2: lot of our double team stuff in that we might
Speaker 2: have had at this point in previous years. But for years,
Speaker 2: like we had teams that just knew if anybody was
Speaker 2: holding for the last shot of a half, we're running
Speaker 2: at it. We'd practice it. We've just gotten into a
Speaker 2: little bit of Last night's the first time we executed
Speaker 2: in the game.
Speaker 1: So so the defense was also part of the time out.
Speaker 1: Here's what we want on offense, and then when they
Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna team.
Speaker 2: We got fouled, so we were on the free throw
Speaker 2: line and then you could look at the differential, so
Speaker 2: they're going to hold, and we called a double team.
Speaker 2: So if Brad Brownell at Clemson's listened to and you
Speaker 2: have the ball, we're gonna double you.
Speaker 1: All right, Brian, back to you.
Speaker 8: Well, after all of this end of half, end of
Speaker 8: game talk, my question seems really trivial. Every game this
Speaker 8: year that I remember, Bobba Miller's jumped at the tip
Speaker 8: and last night it was Chum. I was just wondering,
Speaker 8: what was the reason to change it up.
Speaker 2: Hell, you guys don't have as good a memory as
Speaker 2: I thought you guys did. Bob Mustapha has jumped the
Speaker 2: last four games, is that right? Five?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd say about that. And he had the forward
Speaker 1: tip in the Georgia game that led to an alley
Speaker 1: oop dunk at at the beginning of.
Speaker 2: The game, which was a design.
Speaker 1: So when Boba missed the two games with the injury,
Speaker 1: chom began jumping and he's continued since.
Speaker 2: Correct. So when Baba missed a game and then I
Speaker 2: told MoU didn't like it. When I told the first game,
Speaker 2: I said, Bob was jumping because when we scrimmaged in
Speaker 2: the preseason, Baba won the tip. So I said, shoot,
Speaker 2: I like winning the tip. That's a possession. So MoU
Speaker 2: didn't like that that he wasn't jumping. So when Boba
Speaker 2: got hurt, I said, are you win it tonight? You
Speaker 2: can keep getting it until you don't win it again.
Speaker 2: And he's won everyone since.
Speaker 1: And that was awesome. At the beginning of the Georgia game.
Speaker 1: Clearly that was something you must have seen too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: clip it forward instead of backward and getting out of it.
Speaker 2: Was actually a really impressive play because it was a
Speaker 2: tip play and it takes some really really nice touch
Speaker 2: in athleticism to tip it the way he had to
Speaker 2: tip it to let data run underneath it. And again
Speaker 2: we had a three on one on that one. So
Speaker 2: the kid the kids did a really nice job executing
Speaker 2: the first play.
Speaker 4: Bob Hey coach, that was as close.
Speaker 7: As I hope, you know, at the beginning of the
Speaker 7: season looking at the talent performance on the court last
Speaker 7: night was as close to what I expected to see
Speaker 7: from the team I think I've seen this season.
Speaker 2: I hope we can sustain it.
Speaker 7: But I think one of the key stats was seven turnovers.
Speaker 7: They're over and three of those were long lobs that
Speaker 7: were almost connected and just missed. So the ball handling
Speaker 7: was really tight, really took care of it, and I
Speaker 7: think that, well, if we can do that on the
Speaker 7: this weekend, I think it will help.
Speaker 2: Us a lot. You know, there's been a lot of
Speaker 2: talk about the offense, and you know, you can think
Speaker 2: about it every way from sideways. The first thing is
Speaker 2: you can't give it to the other team because you
Speaker 2: got no chance to make it if you don't ever
Speaker 2: shoot it right. And so cleaning up the turnovers to
Speaker 2: me has been priority number one. Ironically, one of the
Speaker 2: biggest mistakes we made with our offense last year was
Speaker 2: we were having some turnover issues really early in the
Speaker 2: year before games started, and we went bananas about taking
Speaker 2: care of the ball, and I thought we missed some
Speaker 2: opportunities to get the ball out and take advantage of
Speaker 2: our athleticism and the open court last year because they
Speaker 2: were so secure with the ball. And so one of
Speaker 2: the things I said this year, I said, hey, you're
Speaker 2: going to get the league. You got to be able
Speaker 2: to convert defense to offense. And we weren't able to
Speaker 2: do that well enough. And I thought part of the
Speaker 2: reason was we were so crazy about not taking chances
Speaker 2: and turning it over. We were top ten of the
Speaker 2: nation last year and taking care of the basketball and
Speaker 2: the whole country, and so we still need to be aggressive,
Speaker 2: but we cannot be a high turnover team, and I
Speaker 2: thought we made a huge emphasis of that for the
Speaker 2: last month. I thought we made a step in the
Speaker 2: right direction in a game last night.
Speaker 1: Fellas just it's more.
Speaker 11: Of an observation or a question, however you want to
Speaker 11: take it. But my observation is that's probably one of
Speaker 11: the most together games I've seen players play together for
Speaker 11: a while. And there's some kind of secret sauce you
Speaker 11: used wherever you store it. Really enjoyed that lot.
Speaker 2: If I had secret sauce, they've been used along.
Speaker 1: Right here actually for the chips every night.
Speaker 2: No they're capable. I mean, I think in every game
Speaker 2: we played, there's been great segments of the things that
Speaker 2: you saw. I thought it was more consistent last night.
Speaker 2: He's got to continue to be more consistent. But the
Speaker 2: unselfishness has been there. How many assists do we have
Speaker 2: last twenty five? Twenty five assists We've we've been one
Speaker 2: of the better teams in the country and assists rate
Speaker 2: and field goals that are assisted, so that's not a
Speaker 2: new thing. But we got to take care of the
Speaker 2: ball better. We got to make better decisions, We got
Speaker 2: to execute better offense more consistently.
Speaker 1: All right, we got just a few minutes left. As
Speaker 1: I was doing some homework for the game last night,
Speaker 1: I was looking back at last year's game against Alabama State,
Speaker 1: your leading scorer in that game with Simas Lukasis, Which
Speaker 1: leads to this question where a semas these days?
Speaker 2: Simas is playing in Lithuania, so playing in his home
Speaker 2: country for a really, really good club at a really
Speaker 2: high level. He had a lot of ops to go
Speaker 2: on and play professionally. He could have explored the Exhibit
Speaker 2: ten route, like what what Vick is doing with the
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City. He had options to do that. But if
Speaker 2: he didn't have a guaranteed NBA contract, he said he
Speaker 2: wanted to go, uh play at a really high level
Speaker 2: back in Europe. So you know he's he's doing really
Speaker 2: really well.
Speaker 4: What are your keys to the victory on Sunday?
Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna leave here a little more abruptly than
Speaker 2: normal because I got a lot of film to watch
Speaker 2: tonight of Clemson. We have an earlier practice tomorrow, so
Speaker 2: I gotta get to the film and and and get
Speaker 2: to work here tonight. But so I'd probably be more
Speaker 2: equipped to answer that question tomorrow morning.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 2: But what I'll say, they're very positionally sound, defensively, very physical.
Speaker 2: I think at least asked a question about physicality, uh
Speaker 2: in league play that this is a game like that.
Speaker 2: So it's it's like it'll be like a Big twelve
Speaker 2: game physically. So they're gonna be in position. Uh, we're
Speaker 2: gonna have to do a great job of executing, making decisions,
Speaker 2: like you're not going to just make one pass, drive
Speaker 2: the ball and get a good shot. Like they are
Speaker 2: a very positionally sound defense, very physical defense. Offensively, they
Speaker 2: don't beat themselves. They do not turn the ball over.
Speaker 2: They do a good job of turning things over side
Speaker 2: to side. So this is a this is a big
Speaker 2: twelve type game and in a very well coached and
Speaker 2: disciplined team, and so we're gonna have to match those things.
Speaker 1: I'm one of five kids, three sisters and a brother.
Speaker 1: My brother lives in Greenville, South Carolina. So it's very
Speaker 1: nice of you to schedule a game there that I
Speaker 1: can't attend because I'll be a the Bengal Dolphins game
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Unfortunately, so I don't get.
Speaker 2: To see my brother and in Miami or is that here?
Speaker 1: It's in Miami.
Speaker 2: I don't feel bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, nor should you. So I wish I could see
Speaker 1: my brother, but I hope to get back and watch
Speaker 1: on tape a great Bearrickhead victory over Clast.
Speaker 2: Let's leave them tickets. Let's end this though. Let's let's
Speaker 2: end on this tonight. He's obviously welcome. We'll put him
Speaker 2: behind the bench. But the for the most part, it'll
Speaker 2: be a blownot to have you there. I mean, like
Speaker 2: we we love Dan Horde. Enough set there, that's kind
Speaker 2: of you. You're the greatest.
Speaker 1: However, However, there it comes, there's a whole and it's
Speaker 1: a deserved.
Speaker 2: However, however, I will not be interrupted with music during
Speaker 2: my press conference.
Speaker 1: Yes, we learned officially last night that I'm old because
Speaker 1: my cell phone goes off in the middle of his
Speaker 1: news conference and I start slapping at this phone like
Speaker 1: I'm wearing upn mits. I can't find the button to
Speaker 1: just turn it off or turn the sound down. I'm
Speaker 1: like slapping at it. That was the most embarrassing thing
Speaker 1: in my life.
Speaker 2: It happened like three times twice. Went running out of
Speaker 2: the room in the press conference. It was great.
Speaker 1: Shut it off.
Speaker 2: Then I said nice things about you the.
Speaker 1: Water as she did, and I appreciate it. All Right,
Speaker 1: we're out of time. Stuff to give away momentarily. If
Speaker 1: you're listening on the radio, thanks for tuning in. This
Speaker 1: has been the West Miller Radio Show on seven hundred.
Speaker 1: What do you want to double you
