Dave and Molly Sept 8 Sam Adams

0:00We now return to the Dave and Molly show. Hey, welcome back everybody. Dave and Molly show continues. We had a little bit of a break there because truth be told we're eating donuts. Oh, is my mic open? Yeah. I'm still eating mine. I didn't quite finish mine. You guys are, you're. We're man. Mm-hmm. That's what we do. If we need to scarf something down quick, maybe a maize. It was really good. Those were from Bex Harvest House. It's so good. Oh, yeah. Warm. Yeah. Well, Molly reheated them. Oh, yeah. It's a pro move to reheat them. 15 seconds in the microwave all in that there were four of them in that way that this doesn't look good for TV purposes. That's not a good look for us. Yeah, sometimes there's good product placement. Sometimes it's just in a wrinkled bag then. Anyway, I just kept it in the bag. I haven't quite finished mine. Great to see you Sam Adams. Great to be here. Yeah, we have missed you. You've had a lot of adventures lately. Well, Aralais is an adventure taking my son off to college for his junior year

1:02in Phoenix for college. And did that? Junior. Junior. Yeah, he's got this year and next and that's it. Is Colleys daughter one year behind? Correct. Okay. So she's starting her second year today. They go back to school today. That's the first day of school. Like, move in week was last week and it starts today. Yeah. What kind of classes does he take? He has one online class. Everything else is like super specific to his major now. So it's business and marketing and then he wants a minor in sport. So it's really cool. He's getting to do the good stuff. And what is the little thing? How do you do the thing? Oh, the low. So it's like this. It's like a quiet coyote kind of thing, you know? Like this. If he had started golfing earlier, which he could have gone on a golf scholarship. You know that there's a little known secret or well, I don't know well known for girls. Yeah. You can go on a golf scholarship and you can shoot in the 100s.

2:03And you still because there's so few female golfers, you can still. But is that a hundred percent? A hundred percent. Is that true? No, that is true. That is true. That is true. It may have gotten a little bit over the years, but I know as like five, six years ago. Okay, because I mean, I was talking to a friend. She works here kind of part time. She used to be full time. But she had a daughter. It has a daughter who was was in high school at the time. And super competitive, you know, going to state and all this stuff. But really like getting a true scholarship to a program that she wanted to go, that was like, okay, it's not like everybody's coming out of the woodwork to get you. They're not full ride scholarships, but they're scholarships. I mean, at least the ones that I had heard about and they, and they'll say, oh, I'm I played in college. Like, oh, well, what kind of score do you? Oh, yeah, I break a hundred once in a while. Like, and you got to go on a scholarship. Wow. I can do that. They would have lit me in. I'm sure they also had to have good grades and stuff. But anyway, yeah.

3:03So, well, that's exciting that he's back. Yeah, yeah, great. And it's kind of interesting because like, I've been in dad mode for, you know, for 20 years of his life and, you know, I would say sometimes I'm like, buddy, I'm sorry. I'm here to be your dad first. I'm not here to be your friend. I'm here to be your dad. So there'd be times where, you know, you have to lay down the lawn, teach them life lessons and all that, and less about, you know, if you, if you did something funny or inappropriate, I would laugh privately. Right. But not enable and encourage the behavior. And now this time, it's, it's like, the restructure plate is off and, and we're, I feel like friends first. And other suns. Super cool. You did all your hard work. That's what happens when you put in the hard work. Then you lay the groundwork and then you've created a nice human being. So then the life lessons, that's, that's, that's how I feel. Yeah. Honestly, I don't want to jinx the no hitter, but I feel really good. Yeah. That's good. My mom and I are like that. I think after about 20,

4:05and once I started making better decisions, we became really good friends. And then it was always just that. But they're, you know, shaky times when you're 17, 18, and 21, 22. Now it's just bet bud. We're going to win. We've played two rounds of golf down there. We did he beat you yet? He did. He beat me. It happened. This is very exciting. Well, exciting. Yeah. I mean, we knew it was going to happen. But of course it happens on basically the last day of summer. Like last day before, I'm now, we're not going to play golf again until, you know, who knows. So yeah, he played lights out. He shot a 40 on the front. And then he did shoot a 46 on the back. And I shot a 42 on the back. I actually played well on the back nine. But he could catch him. He'd rated me on the front. Yeah. So yeah, was it a course that either one of you had played before? No brand new. Is it is a resort course? And I love this about Phoenix.

5:05It's a little known gem. But these golf courts, they have so many golf and people like from Washington and Idaho. Yeah. Wherever, you know, you want to go down there. October, November, December, January, February, because it's like you can't golf here. Right. But there it's primo. It's 75 degrees. Well, on the flip side, you go and play an early September, late August. And of course, it costs $100 for around $45. Yeah. With a car. It's 89 billion degrees. Or 106. Not that I was looking. Ouch. It was hot. It was a cooker. But the ball ball travel is a little farther. It does. Yeah. All of that ball rolls. How long was the drive and where did you stop? We stopped off in Salt Lake. That's that's almost the halfway point. You lose an hour because of the time change. Oh, right. And so we stayed. We've got a family there on my wife's side. So we were to stay there and like South Salt Lake. And got in like 10 o'clock that night.

6:06State one, you know, quick. And then got on the road about 830 the next morning. Got into Phoenix that evening. We gained an hour back this time of year. So Arizona doesn't change. They're all the always the same. Yeah, so it was nice. It was it was a, you know, he did most of the driving, which was nice. Oh my gosh. See that this is getting better and better. You did raise him right. I did. I loved it. Yeah, it was great. And then even the moving was easy. Yeah. Yeah. In a dorm or is he in a house? It is on campus, but, but apartment style living. But it's definitely a dorm, you know. I have a question about on campus. So at Gonzaga, you know, the big main Hemings worth like, their main where they're cafeteria and all that, like that main building right across the street. So you get in there and there's the parking thing. Then there's that. Then there's the field in front. There's a house just a house. I mean, that's a neighborhood, right? But is that just a person living that house? Or is that a? What it looks like a regular house? It looks like it's decorated like a regular house.

7:07It's got Gonzaga flags and stuff, obviously, they're fans. But there's a little neighborhood in there. Sometimes the school will own some houses around. Sometimes I don't know. It's like right in the middle. Right in the middle. I can't imagine. It's interesting you asked that at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix. There's the, you know, there's the football, or football. The baseball field, the, you know, all the dorms, the, all of the campus and smack dab right in the middle of the camp, not middle of the campus. But part of the campus is just a random house. See that. One home. That's what I'm saying about this. Gonzaga house. But was myself refused to sell. Yeah. And to this day, he will not sell. He's got signs up and like, no, won't sell. Refused to sell. And he's just, oh, now he's got one dude in his house right in the middle of the college campus. It's college kids. 18, 19, 20, girls are all walking by. Yeah. See it seems like I see that the holding out thing. But then, then all of a sudden, you're living in the middle of a college. Yeah. You really have to like, you're in it at that point.

8:10At one point, are you holding out for like a better price? Or is it on the front of the board? Oh, that ship sailed, I think. Yeah. Well, but here like, I think GCU is looking at like, if we get this person to sell, then we can do all of this around this. There's only so much you can do with, you can't say in which it in like, was it up? Was that the movie up? Oh, right. With the whole house. With the house. Yeah. But remember, it's like this, this little home, and then there's skyscrapers right up against it. Oh, yes. Yeah. It's not quite like that situation. You're waiting. They're waiting. Now, I got to ask you about the, because we had a discussion about the Michigan Western Michigan game and how these teams, these big schools, will pay a smaller school to come in for their first game of the year and basically be a sacrificial lamb to, so, and you went to the Arizona State Morgan, Morgan State. Yeah. I don't work out for Morgan State.

9:10Well, they got money. I think they got about 650 grand or something like that. Okay. That's huge. That's vital. They, they really budget that in because that, that's going to pay for travel or scholarships, for all the things you need to do to keep the lights on the program, right? And so, yeah, it was, I think it was 49 to 7 at half time. Okay. Then, and then, I've never had this. I've never heard of this either. So, so we left at a certain point, backups are in, and me and my son are like, let's, let's go. We got the experience. This is Arizona State and Morgan State. Correct. It sees Nopa for ASU. It's 63 to 7 at this point, I believe. And we're like, we're good. And so we, we leave the stadium. We do the, the walk up. We, we, uh, we're, we're waiting to get on the little light rail to get back home. And as a guy, there's, there's a bunch of other ASU fans at this point, came over. And the guys got his phone on and looked down. He's like, I'm going, huh?

10:12There's 657 left in the fourth quarter. I'm like, what happened? How much did, how long was that walk to get to the train station? And then somebody said, oh, yeah, they shaved five minutes off the clock. For, for Mercy Rule. I'm going in college football. And I, and I know it like I covered sports, collegiate sports, high school athletics. Yeah. And I know it's like high school. There is a Mercy Rule for, for football. They'll turn on a running clock for baseball. You know, you tend to run them. They'll stop. I'm like, I raised my umbrella. What's going on here? And I found out after the fact that the coach for Morgan State had basically gone to the referee and said, can you shave off five minutes off the clock? And then you need permission from the other coach who I don't think, Dillingham, Kenny Dillingham, the ASU head coach. I don't even know if he was aware of this. But he said, yeah, sure, take five minutes off the clock. And there's a rule that I've never seen happen. Period in my life where both coaches agree. And I'm sure the officials have to agree too.

11:12They take five minutes off the clock. And they did. Yeah. They cut five minutes out of that when they said they shortened the game. I thought, well, what does that mean? They just, you know, run the ball and let the clock run. No, they said we're taking five minutes off of the game. I've never heard of that. I've never seen it in my life. Yeah. Don't look at me. I just started fantasy football for the first time Friday. And I have my draft. Oh, the big draft. She's throwing her. If I could take five minutes off of fantasy football draft, I would take that and then some. We did our draft in record time. It's only an hour. Whoa. Yeah, that's cool. April, my co-captain and I were the fastest. I think we're pretty, pretty efficient. Nice. Because we didn't know what you're doing. So did you use the tier system? Do you have like your S tier, your A tier, your B tier? I don't know what that means. What about you, Dave? Are you a tier person? I had a, I think I had a pretty good draft. I, you know, I know who my starters will be in my head, at least. Okay. I put it in. And you've never done fantasy. Oh, I did. I used to be hardcore.

12:13I was, I would eat, sleep, and breathe this stuff. Yeah. And now no more? Oh, no, I quit. Cold turkish. You had to quit. Well, I was a commissioner of the league. And awful. It's not fun being because you get, you get people, butt and heads and all the stuff. Like I was supposed to have the way for this person to make this move. This person's in kuhuts with this person. You know, like, but we're friends here. Like you guys are arguing about this. Like they, they would get into epic. We're not going to have that kind of a league. It's going to be very, very friendly. Good. That's a very friendly. Very friendly. Yeah. Hey, Michelle says that isn't that the being crossbe house on the guns like a campus? Oh, maybe perhaps. It looked like somebody was living there and it looked like they were renovating in the back. They, you could see through and they looked like they were, I just noticed it because I was there for something the other day. And I just thought, this is a regular house, right? In the middle of the lover. Well, I love the randomness. I just don't know if I would want that. I just like doing a little thing like this.

13:14He likes the love that the analog. Do you do? He learned that when Grand Canyon played here in Phoenix or or on the road from Phoenix and spoke in. Now at that time, did you? He was considering. So he was considering. He was considering. He was a, I think a senior or a junior in high school. Okay. And he was very much considering Grand Canyon. And then between that and his visit down there, that, and they still do the thing. You know, they have the discovery trip. Where you can go there. They will pay for the airfare. They'll put you up on campus lodging. I think they even give you a peridium for food. And you can check out Grand Canyon. Well, free of charge. Can I do that? I'm wondering about that. I don't know. If I said I really want to go back to school, here's my transcripts. And I'm just really going to check it out. I'm going to guess you have to be an active high school student. I'm going to get that big sound. Yeah. What if I have the education level of an active high school student? I've heard that about myself. So. But that, I remember that basketball game that we were, because we were in the same, we were in the same little room there.

14:16Yeah. And I just thought these people are so much fun. And I said, well, that was a cool school. And they were all doing the little thing. And that was enough to win them over to go there. I mean, it kind of was the tipping point for them. Yeah. Yeah. There were not this year, but maybe last year, when we did the, the thing for Silverwood, we helped with their scholarships. They get like 12 kids, $1,000. Remember how many Grand Canyon? There were a lot of Grand Canyon. So how many Grand Canyon kids? That's a growing school, too. Yeah. There it is. Yeah. They've got a big online program, too. A lot of people go to GCU, but don't actually go there. They take a lot of the classes online, work exclusively online. It's a massive online presence. Yeah. But I like the campus, too. It's, it's, it's not the, if people, if you know Phoenix, you'll know, this is in Glendale, it's not the best neighborhood. I wouldn't, I wouldn't compare to like USC's campus, where you're, you're kind of in an oasis. But, but the campus itself, there's security, you know, there's checkpoints and all that stuff to get in.

15:17But I love their campus. I love the vibe there. UCLA has a great campus. That's in the heart of Westwood. Like that's a fun. I had some friends who managed an apartment building kind of like, you're managed an apartment building. Tell them you're managing the apartment building story. You didn't tell them managing the apartment building story earlier. Yeah, I told it on the air. Did you know? No, you told me off there. Oh, yeah. Oh, so little did we, we went to Greenbluff, visit our friend's back service house. They had the big thing. It was a huge hit. Massive. That's down the bluff. Stuffed on the bluff. It was fantastic. Oh, great. Because this is the first year they did it. Yes. And they're, they're already full steam ahead for next year. It's going to be wonderful. Well, what I didn't know, so we're, we're talking to Kim and Todd at the end. And then he says, hey, I got to ask you, did you use to manage apartments back in the early 80s? And I said, yeah, actually, I did. It was a little spot on the south coast. It says, my dad owned that building. You were, you actually worked for my dad way back when. Oh, yeah.

16:18And it was, that all kind of came back to me. His name was Gordon. And he owned the, he owned the building. And I was basically a manager slash everything person. I had to paint. I had to change the elements and the hot water tanks. I'd have, you know, have the people come in, clean the rugs when new people would come in and out and everything. Did you get free rent for that? I got, I had discounted rent. I think I paid a hundred bucks for rent. Oh, yeah, it was a good deal. It's a great deal for me. Yeah. But I also learned a lot about, you know, managing apartments. There was a lot of, a lot of stuff that went on. You know, I learned the box and he built relationships, apparently. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, it was good. All those years later. Small world. Small world. Yeah, they, uh, the, who was the girl from here? Who was up there yesterday? Oh, Melinda. Yeah. Melinda. Yeah. Got a K HQ coverage. Tomorrow we have a pig coming in. I was telling Collide, in case you guys want to talk to pancake the pig.

17:21What time? To real pig? 9 o'clock. Be after hours, but I didn't know it. But it's part of the sensory day at the fair on Tuesday. That's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Well, as long as we don't have to, we do a teacher of the month. And I can't tell you what school because it's always a surprise. Yeah. You, you know, with this about the teacher of the month. So what will always do wonder in the school year every month that you get, you know, a student will write a nomination letter. It's always heartfelt and we'll surprise the teacher during a, uh, an assembly. Yes. But they, they keep us in like cloak and dagger because they don't want us to like, you got to park off on the side because if they, if we walk in, they, you know, uh, the kids will start to go, what's going on here? Yeah. So they, they'll get, we've been in, in a closet before essentially. We've been in, uh, where those, have you seen those, uh, the wrestling room, you know, where they have the mats. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We'll be in there next all the stinky, you know, singlets and stuff. And well, we got to hide and be there. So I can't even tell you where. And so this, so what they tell the students is, oh, it's a regular assembly. It's the back to school assembly.

18:23Everybody's going to meet here. And then you guys come out with a big surprise. We introduce ourselves. We get the crowd all excited. It's, it's one of my favorite parts. And is it always a teacher? Could it be any staff member? Is it an educator in general? Or is it teacher? I can't remember ever not having a teacher for it. But I don't know. And the kids nominate them. The kids nominate. No, uh, so is sweet because that's hard, especially if you're like a eight year old or a 10 year old or 12, however old, writing a letter, taking the time to do that. Open yourself up because it's usually about a personal thing like, you know, um, this year has been really difficult for me. And, and this teacher would always put a smile on my face with a dad pun and, and, you know, make me feel good about my day. And if it wasn't for this person, you know, I would, I would hate middle school or whatever. And those kids are so courageous writing those letters. So now for this first one, is this from a last year's letter or did somebody write a letter super fast like school or how does, or yeah, I guess I can reveal it.

19:25I think there was basically something where we were supposed to do it to end last year. Okay. But I have to speak very vaguely, but something happened where we couldn't do the, um, teacher of the month presentation then. Okay. So now they've pushed it to this year. But both the teacher and the student are still at the same school. As sometimes we have had it where it is a carryover or something where it's like a nomination that had happened, but it's in now that the student is in a new school even. Like they'll have gone from elementary to middle school or whatever. Okay. And so many times it will be then the, the kid will come in and get a, you know, day off or at least an hour off or something like the dentist's appointment. You get a little note. Yeah. I love it. I think that would be the ultimate just having a, a young person to take the time to write something and have that must. So teaching is a hard job. And it can be really thankless. I would imagine. Yeah, to hear that to actually hear it from your kid and, and every teacher has been essentially

20:26moved to tears every single time. Yeah. I say the promos you guys have were fantastic. It is heartfelt. It's, it's, it's really fun to be, you know, because sometimes it's like we, we're reading about the news and all the things are going on in the world and there's tragedy, there's sadness and you see that. And that's how we get to end our day. That's like the last thing is we leave like we go to do the teacher of the month. And it's really nice. That's nice. Same. Yeah. So what you're saying is you might not be here for the pig. I mean, that's what you're trying to say. That's all right. I think the logistics for this whole pig thing. Are we going to be? You're worried? Well, I don't know like does the pig stand on the table? Does the pig, he's big. Are you going to hold the pig? Well, I don't know. I mean, the pig has to be on camera. If we're going to have a pig in the studio, you've got to be on camera. I think the pig will, I think the pig will be here. I think maybe we get another chair and put the pig up on the chair. That's a good idea. Yeah, well, it could possible go wrong. I don't know that the, I don't know the pig goes on the table. Could I could I make a recommendation?

21:27Yes, recommendation. I think you put the pig in a blanket. You may, it may, pancake may come in a blanket. I don't know. Hey, and then one other thing, it's locked in the final Dave Sam major, the one that will decide it all. September 21st, Mark your calendars. Yep. Yeah, going to be amazing. The last resort. The last resort. Yeah. It comes down to this. We tied one of the majors. I beat you by a stroke in one of the majors. You destroyed me in the most recent major. He's not in the long. He knows. Yeah. But all comes down to this last one. And in the meantime, your son beat you. I know. That's got to take it. Oh, that's it. Yeah, that's it. It wasn't a question of if it was a question of when. Like I've been getting incrementally better, I think, at this point. And my son has been skyrocketing. Yeah. And he's bendy. He's strong. And he is obsessed with golf every time. I'm like, what are you doing? He's like, oh, I'm watching YouTube.

22:27And he'll be watching like some and he's practicing. They're all golf related videos now. He is obsessed with golf. Well, he's built. He's built for it. He's he's he's a very good shape. But long and linky and just in control of his movement. You can tell he's got a beautiful swing. And then there's me. Well, you have a beautiful swing too. All the things that you mentioned about it. Not as bendy. The opposite. But remember when you beat me? Yeah. It was a while ago. It was the second major. It comes down to this. It's going to be so much fun. Thank you for for being a part of it. Yeah, it's going to well. Yeah, pretty good deal for us. Great deal. Yeah. Well, good deal. Well, I try to go do my thing. K HQ non-stop. Local tomorrow we're getting ready for the Seahawks. It's going to be on a non-stop local cage. Yeah, yeah. So I've pre-gamed coverage of that. Get ready. Be fun. Okay. Did you watch any of the Apple Cup? Probably. Yeah, you were on the road. I was traveling. Yeah, Sunday was my travel day. So weird. We have Cougar football on a Sunday.

23:29Yep. And Seahawks football on a Wednesday. You're like finally me. Yeah, it is. That is weird. Both both firsts. Yeah. So how about that? Yeah, so looking forward to that. Anyways, we'll we'll have coverage tomorrow. You can watch our newscast getting ready for that. And love it. Yeah, go, Hawks.
