9
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:33.840
app. Okay, NBA All Star
Game this weekend. Earlier I pointed out

10
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:37.240
that I really didn't see any need
for it any longer. I don't think

11
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:41.759
this is some guy shaking his fist
get off my lawn. I just think

12
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:44.880
it's a statement of fact. You
know, if you're doing the game for

13
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:49.000
eight to nine year olds, and
that seemed to be the perception or the

14
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:55.000
opinion of Adam. Okay, then
watch Nickelodeon. If we're to be honest,

15
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:59.240
it just doesn't have the impact it
had because now you can see everything

16
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:03.079
every game whenever you want, and
with social media seeing the players isn't that

17
00:01:03.319 --> 00:01:07.120
special, And I think the downside
of it is Okay, it is a

18
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.840
showcase of the top players, but
they're not really playing a game. They're

19
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.120
just running up and down the court, dunking the ball and firing forty five

20
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.920
ft threes. There's not a lot
to it. There's just not a lot

21
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:25.840
to it. So Rodney, I
just believe that the NBA All Star Game,

22
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:27.280
it's past saying now, I don't
even see any need for it.

23
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:33.560
So you just want it to be
competitive again, that is who exciting.

24
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:38.120
You say, an entertainment value,
and then you say, no, it's

25
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.239
not about entertainment, it's about being
competitive, and they don't really care and

26
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:46.599
they're just dunking And as if that's
not entertainment to a ten year old.

27
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:52.400
That is who the market is.
It's who they're marketing to. Is that

28
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:56.200
that family or that ten year old
or twelve year old that just wants to

29
00:01:56.239 --> 00:02:00.560
see their superstars have fun, let
their hair down a little bit and enjoy

30
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:05.120
and not be so intense all the
time. Is the regular season and games

31
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.039
and playoffs, they are intense.
It is intense, you know, not

32
00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:13.520
a whole lot of smiling and joking
and getting along with each other and trash

33
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:17.800
talking each other in a fun,
humorous way. All Star Game is entertainment.

34
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:23.159
And then for that respect, yeah, so you'd rather just take a

35
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:27.520
break and not do anything. It's
for fan appreciation more than anything else.

36
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.120
Yeah. But I think here's the
thing. If it's for for the older

37
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:34.120
fan, is for the kids.
Okay, If it's for kids, then

38
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.520
why don't we put it on Nickelodeon. Let SpongeBob and Patrick do it call

39
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.319
the play by play, just like
they did with the Super Bowl because that

40
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.919
was for kids, all right,
So that's the case. What difference doesn't

41
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:45.759
make if it's on TNT, who
is that hurting? Well, there's not

42
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:49.599
SpongeBob doing it. Does it have
to be SpongeBob? Yeah? What differences

43
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:53.360
it make? I don't know.
Why does it have to be on Nickelodeon

44
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:58.360
Because you said it's just for kids, just for kids, just not just

45
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.560
but kids enjoy it's for the younger
demographic. I don't think they're trying to

46
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:06.080
get into an appeal to you guys, or even me to a certain degree.

47
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.800
How about twenty year olds that too? The ch worlds enjoy it too.

48
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:15.560
I believe. At my house they
think it's awful and their twenty in

49
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.800
their young twenties, they don't like
it. I think it's a complete waste

50
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:22.639
of time. Well, my house
loves the three point and the dunk contest.

51
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.919
My house loves the three point,
but they think that the dunk contest

52
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:29.919
is also kind of jumped the shark. Well, what hearts the dunk contest

53
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:30.960
is you don't have a lot of
name players that do it. Yeah,

54
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:35.800
Jalen Brown is in this year and
that helps. If you get star power

55
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.080
in the dunk contest, I think
that will help bring that back a little

56
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.719
bit. But you can't incentivize the
dunk contest more so than the game.

57
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:45.199
Then that would that would definitely if
there's one thing they could incentivize more so,

58
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.719
I think it would be the dunk
contest, and the three point is

59
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:51.759
a pride thing. I think that's
still cool. But yeah, incentivize the

60
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.240
dunk contest more and that they would
get more guys to participate. I think,

61
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.439
now, why do you feel about
that? Fred? As far as

62
00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:59.840
the weekend as a whole, the
game is one thing and we can get

63
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:01.159
back to that. But as far
as the All Star Saturday. Are you

64
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:03.879
out completely on that too? I'm
not out on that. I mean,

65
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:06.960
I like the three point contest.
I think they need to I don't know,

66
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:11.800
I think they need to do something. It's kind of flat. I

67
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.400
don't know. If they do they
do something, you criticize it, but

68
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.240
you can't say what they should do, right, Like what? Uh?

69
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:21.120
All right? You know, I
guess you can have one day of skills

70
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:27.319
contest. I'd just like to threat
personally have three points. That's that's all

71
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.839
they anybody cares about in my house
because it looks like there's some skill associated

72
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.000
with that. You gotta be able
to shoot. Uh, the game itself

73
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:36.839
shake Gilgi Salas Xander came out and
said, well, maybe if they paid

74
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:41.920
everybody, you know, five hundred
thousand dollars kind of there'd be more intensity,

75
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.800
we'd be more into it. And
if your point is they're doing this

76
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:47.800
as a showcase and trying to give
the kids what they want, then why

77
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.439
would you have to pay the players
in the All Star Game to give the

78
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:55.199
kids what they want? Really?
Why would you you are now? You

79
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:57.439
are? Now you are? Get
off my line, guy, No,

80
00:04:57.560 --> 00:04:59.959
I'm not to have it both ways. You can't have it both ways.

81
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.519
What do you mean, why would
you have to pay guys game? What

82
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:06.279
do you want you want it to
be? If you wanted the guys to

83
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:10.800
care, you want guys to be
competitive. Guys don't want to get hurt

84
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:13.839
for it either, you know.
If they don't want to get hurt,

85
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:15.480
then don't have the game. They
have to still have the rest of the

86
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.680
season. But that's why they have
it and the way it is now because

87
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:24.600
it's strictly for entertainment. It's not
for who wins and loses. It's strictly

88
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:29.920
to entertain It's the globetrotters, now, that's what it is. You know

89
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:34.680
what the Washington Washington Generals, Rodneys, The Washington Generals played more defense than

90
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:39.839
they do in the NBA All Star
Nobody cares who wins and loses, No

91
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:43.680
but you and if somebody you have
to have some sort of resistance to make

92
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:47.680
it interesting? Why? Why to
make it interesting? Why that just looks

93
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:54.199
like a prolonged scrimmage. That's why
people like it. People like I want

94
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:58.360
to see, well the numbers,
the people like count Ali oop to Lebron

95
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:00.920
from half court. I think that's
pretty cool. Well, it's cool if

96
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:06.399
there's somebody trying to take the ball. Why because it is not the NBA

97
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:10.560
Finals. Stop trying to make it
the NBA Final. I don't want it

98
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.759
to be the NBA Finals. Obviously
you do because you want it to be

99
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.720
ultra competitive, and it's never gonna
be that way. Look, I think

100
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:19.759
the NFL did it right. They
got rid of the Pro Bowl. They

101
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:25.720
got rid of the game that was
smart technically equivalent. That's not it's the

102
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:29.279
equivalent of what the NBA does,
and it kind of is Rodney. Yeah

103
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:30.800
it is. Yeah, but you
know what, water down version of the

104
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.360
actual game. At least I don't
have to play the game. I think

105
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:38.959
hockey, the three on three Disney
on ice where guys are skating around in

106
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:43.360
circles and stuff and it's just up
and down and nobody's really moving that fast.

107
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.160
I think they should get rid of
that too, Get rid of it,

108
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.360
give everybody a couple of days off. Man, how about this Fred?

109
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:53.160
Maybe if you hate it so much
you just don't pay attention to it,

110
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:57.160
how about that? Just don't watch
Fred? Because who is it hurting?

111
00:06:57.519 --> 00:06:59.079
You know what? I'm gonna take
you up on that. Yeah,

112
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.040
who is it hurting? By them
keeping it for the few fans who do

113
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:04.240
enjoy it. The point, if
you're gonna keep it, shouldn't you just

114
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:06.759
try to improve one and you want
to try to bring in as many people

115
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:11.040
and have interest as much as you
possibly can. Sure you don't just get

116
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:12.879
rid of it because a couple of
people say like, I don't care.

117
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:14.839
Well, if you don't get that, i'll watch. Well. I don't

118
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:16.399
think a couple of people say that, you know what, I actually think

119
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.600
there would be more. I think
there was more interest, and I don't

120
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:24.199
have this documented, but I'll bet
you there was more interest in the ind

121
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:30.160
Season Tournament and you guys hated that
than the NBA All Star Game. If

122
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.560
they didn't have these TV contracts,
they wouldn't do it. They wouldn't do

123
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:38.720
it. There'd be no reason there's
interest from the players in the n Season

124
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:44.439
Tournament because they got paid, are
incentivized five hundred grand. You don't throw

125
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.879
that five hundred grand. It wouldn't
be any interest or any incentive, and

126
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:55.720
really any like players wouldn't really care. So now they barely care right now.

127
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:58.519
If you incentivize the players in the
All Star Game, it's like Shay

128
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:03.639
Alexander said, and give them five
hundred thousand dollars high. I believe that

129
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:05.120
most of those players are gonna be
balling their asses off to try to get

130
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.759
that bonus and try to win a
game, and it'll look more competitive.

131
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.720
So, like almost regardless of how
you get it to be more competitive,

132
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:13.800
if the goal is to get it
more competitive, then you do whatever you

133
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.800
need to do. So I'd agree
for it. They shouldn't have to be

134
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.800
incentivized with extra money. But if
you want the game to be more competitive,

135
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.439
and that's what it's gonna take,
maybe you do it. Why not,

136
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.399
Well, okay, whatever you gotta
do. But my again, if

137
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.920
you're going, well, this is
for the kids, this is for the

138
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.279
kids. We gotta do it for
the kids. Well, we've got to

139
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:37.399
do for the kids, and do
it for the kids. If that's your

140
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.000
reason, we're doing it. Okay, Okay, you gotta go speak to

141
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:45.279
You're gonna go fly and speak to
a group of kids in Chicago and then

142
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:48.519
Philadelphia and they're gonna fly y'all around
the country. Just do it. You

143
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.320
know, normally you get paid to
do it for adults and you go speak

144
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:56.639
for him and you pay for it
too. You set your own flight,

145
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:00.000
and you you pay for it,
and you go and you set your own

146
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:03.039
hotel room up and you get it
right, because it's it's for the kids.

147
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.039
You're going speaking for the kids,
or you're speaking for a worthy cause,

148
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.799
So just go do it without getting
paid for it. So you're saying

149
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:15.840
with your All Star game, if
you want a more competitive All Star game,

150
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:22.080
you just gotta pay the guys.
Surly wouldn't hurt. Do you think

151
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.759
it would have been competitive and end
season if they didn't, if there was

152
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.720
not money attached to it. I
think they would have been regular season games

153
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:35.120
that counted in the standings because they
did, Okay, the final two didn't

154
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:37.679
except the two. Okay, so
what the Lakers or Pelicans or Pacers if

155
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.799
they were getting not a dime from
any of those games and all they got

156
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.039
was this little NBA Cup and a
banner, do you think they would have

157
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:48.799
cared as much? No, But
they got paid because they were additional regular

158
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.240
season games. No, that's not
the question, Fred, You know you're

159
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.519
avoiding the question. The games that
did not count towards the regular season standings,

160
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:58.679
the final two in Las Vegas,
if they did not get a single

161
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:03.519
dome for being in those games.
What they have cared as much is the

162
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:07.120
question, Yeah, where their teammates
and other or other team other players are

163
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.600
are in Hawaii or Rest Cabo or
somewhere else getting to rest in with their

164
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:15.919
families. Probably not, They probably
would not have cared as much. I

165
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:20.600
agree. I agree. So these
players now at All Star weekend, whether

166
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:22.320
they should be this way or not, we don't live in a ifs,

167
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.759
you know, ans and butts and
maybes. If they get more money,

168
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:31.480
guarantee you the games will be more
competitive because there's more stake in the game.

169
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:35.879
That's it, and it's a it's
a it's a party for the players

170
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.320
and the league as well. So
guys go and show up because for four

171
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:48.240
days, it's not about basketball.
It's about camaraderie, it's about philanthropy,

172
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:54.399
it's about other things than just trying
to be a make a competitive game for

173
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:58.519
those die hard get off my line, guys, that it's more. It's

174
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:03.600
more than that. So parties for
the kids, it's it's signing autographs for

175
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:05.919
the kids that that happened to be
in that city, going to the game,

176
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.480
or being a part of it at
fan fest and all those things that

177
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:15.159
happen around an All Star game where
kids can go into a into a convention

178
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:20.080
center and and maybe see some guys
signing autographs or go through the fan experience

179
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:24.519
of shooting threes and doing all these
things that you go through at an All

180
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:28.919
Star game. It is packed with
little kids and kids that care about their

181
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:33.240
teams and that want to be a
part of that experience, and the same

182
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:37.360
thing when the kids are watching it. I mean, it's almost like the

183
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.000
NBA's are yeah for It's almost like
the NBA's version of the Super Bowl.

184
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:45.759
Right. It was out there all
the parties for the growing ups, the

185
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.480
convention center, as he mentioned,
all the stuff for the kids. That's

186
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:50.759
you can't really do that in a
sport like basketball, where when the posts

187
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.039
and rolls around you have individual series. This is where all the stars,

188
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:58.440
all the players, commissioner can all
converge in one place and celebrate the sport

189
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:03.480
all as So instead of getting rid
of it completely if there is an issue

190
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:05.279
with it, try to find a
way to make it better and more competitive.

191
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.759
But don't just get rid of it
completely. Because the Sriadoney's point,

192
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.960
there's more to it than there's just
the game on the court. Well,

193
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:20.919
then just pay the players so it's
a better show. It's wrong with grumpy

194
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:24.919
lumpy, dumpy frumpy from No,
here's why, here's why. No,

195
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:26.919
no, no, here's why.
Because you make the point this is for

196
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:31.200
the kid, this is for the
kids, this is we're doing it for

197
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.240
the kids. Doesn't matter, we're
doing it for the kids. Well,

198
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:37.360
if you're doing it for the kids
and you're being transported there, put up

199
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:41.120
in a hotel and taken care of. Unlike the analogy you had Rodney,

200
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:45.679
where I'm gonna go talk to kids
in Philadelphia, fly myself there, pay

201
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:48.559
my own way. No, you're
doing it for the kids. Come on

202
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:56.960
in and just make the game more
entertaining for the kids. Make it more

203
00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:01.039
entertaining to the kids. You don't
think three sixty dunks. Kids don't care

204
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:03.679
who wins, you know, and
I don't get get dunks in three pointers

205
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:07.440
from half court and seeing Steph Curry
out far out he can shoot a three.

206
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.360
You don't think kids go crazy over
that. I think they do,

207
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.320
and so would I. But I'd
like to see somebody at least standing in

208
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.000
front of them. I'm not even
saying you really have to guard them,

209
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.879
but at least be there. It
means at least make it look like you

210
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.720
did something. So then when Steph
Curry hits a three and there's a guy

211
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:26.799
in front of him, you go, oh my god, now he's got

212
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:28.279
a wide open three and a half
courts. Are you gonna say that's what

213
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:31.360
he's gonna say in an All Star
game? Somebody standing in front of Steph

214
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:35.399
Corey going oh yeah, he's playing
competitive defense. Yeah no, Roddy,

215
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:39.120
there's nobody around anybody as three sixty
dunk. There's not even anybody there.

216
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:43.840
Even if somebody's around, they're not
getting close to him because the guys don't

217
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.720
want to get it hurt. No, it looks like a giant hurt somebody

218
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:50.399
else and they gotta step on somebody's
foot. That's what it looks like.

219
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.759
Not gonna do it. Just a
giant. Everybody show up. It's just

220
00:13:54.960 --> 00:14:00.399
not even a scrimmage. Just a
giant shoot around. That that's what it

221
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:05.519
is. And you guys know it
and the kids love it, well,

222
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:09.480
then do it for the kids.
They are And that's why I won't stop.

223
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:15.960
He ain't doing it for your ass. I can agree, you know

224
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.559
what. I can confirm that they
ain't doing it for my assesson No,

225
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:24.039
hell no, all right, we

We definite Differit definitely definitely needs some
spirituality because Fred is turned into the Grints

232
00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:01.360
that stole every day of a year. So you're saying there's something You're saying

233
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:07.960
there's something unusual about today. Oh
actually no, I mean you just turned

234
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:11.519
it up a notch. That's all
you went on volume nine or ten.

235
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:18.200
Uh. I would respectfully disagree.
I hear you, but I just respectfully

236
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.080
disagree with that. Hey, Dodger

239
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.279
special guests, Rich Hill coming up

240
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:41.559
need spirituality and to provide that we
walk them on, Victor Brick and victd

241
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:52.960
afternoon, he says. The upcoming
NBA All Star Game at Indy despite a

242
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:58.480
funky, techno charged led state of
the art court, He's got one word

243
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:03.559
or Fred Rogan, Hello, Vic, by the way, I think the

244
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:06.279
court will be cool. I'll give
you that the court will be cool.

245
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:15.320
They got the court set up for
Saturday's Lucas Oil Stadium stuff right, but

246
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:18.080
not the game. The game,
but not the game exactly. So it

247
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:22.759
will be techno charge though. For
the kids, for the kids, Vic,

248
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:27.480
for the kids. Baby. He
still loves the All Star flavor,

249
00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:32.399
the three point shot, the dunk, the whole thing, the unity in

250
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:41.519
the community. Rodney Pete, Yeah, talk to the VT p our perennial

251
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:51.720
All Star Kevin Figures come on now
and his every musical cut he'd be jamming.

252
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:56.039
Oh, Rodney Fossio coming off the
bench with the high coup. Y'all,

253
00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:04.880
y'all fellas, Tiger Woods is out
of the tournament. Yes, he

254
00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:11.599
just withdrew from the Genesis Invitational with
drew or didn't make the cut. He

255
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:18.839
withdrew and he was playing the seventh
hole and he hit his drive into the

256
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:27.799
fairway and then, according to tournament
officials, he wasn't feeling well and he

257
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:33.200
got into a golf cart and left
the tournament. Nothing to do with his

258
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:41.480
spasming back, left his tournament.
He's hosting the tournament. Yeah, but

259
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:48.920
Tiger's out due to illness. Boy, he had a rough shot yesterday and

260
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.839
then came out of it pretty good, pretty good. He did say his

261
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:55.000
back, his back was season on
him though a little bit too though,

262
00:17:55.119 --> 00:18:00.160
So he was spasming the last couple
of holes yesterday. Then he shot thank

263
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.799
the shot on the eighteenth and through
six holes today he was you know,

264
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.440
one over, two over for the
tournaments. So he he was straddling the

265
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:14.759
cut line. But he got he
got sick on the seventh hole. Yeah.

266
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:18.359
More about what is Tiles Tiger going
to finish? Is he gonna make

267
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:22.480
a run? It is. I
can't even finish two days of a tournament

268
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:29.359
without getting hurt, sick, sad. It's like that boxer that plays too

269
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:33.119
long, that fights too long.
It just keeps taking shot after shot because

270
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:38.519
he can't defend himself time. There's
always a time, and it's been time

271
00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:44.720
for Tiger. Well, he said
no moss today on the seventh hole,

272
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:49.880
but again he was very frustrated.
He was holding his head in his hands

273
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:53.799
as he was taking off the you
know, off off the riviera and a

274
00:18:53.799 --> 00:19:00.480
golf cart. We do not know
the source of the illness, but he

275
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:06.440
burned his first hole today, then
a couple of bogies and was won over

276
00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:14.640
for six and was straddling the cut
line at two over park. So that's

277
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:18.000
a bummer. That's a bummer that
Tiger's not playing because the excitement level at

278
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:21.759
the River, you know, it
was really amped up. The tigers first

279
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:27.720
competitive round since the Bahamas, his
first big tournament since the Masters. Yeah,

280
00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:30.960
well, you know, Vick,
I think you might have jinxed him.

281
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:34.039
I really do, given how much
you emphasized he was the host and

282
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:37.599
all of his hosting responsibilities. He
might have thrown his back out serving lunch

283
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:42.799
as the host. Well, Fred, I think we you were really overextending

284
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:48.039
is multitasking as host? I think
it was more of a ceremonial deal.

285
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:51.279
Yeah, but you said there was
a lot. I mean, he's going

286
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:52.839
to be busy. He's the host. Well, he's big. Of course

287
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.319
he's a host. Fred. If
you're hosting the tournament, yeah, Frank,

288
00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:00.240
you're not just playing in the tournament, making sure everyone's having a good

289
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:07.839
time. And the Genesis Invitational is
such an outstanding tournament, such a gorgeous

290
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:17.079
layout, you know, the river
area is just iconic. But we'll get

291
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:19.440
we'll get to the bottom of the
illness, I'm sure as time goes on.

292
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:23.720
But it's a it's a it's a
it's tough for all golf fans to

293
00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:29.519
see Tiger out. I'm just I'm
just glad it wasn't his back. According

294
00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:34.160
to the officials, there was nothing
to do with back spasms. It's probably

295
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:38.799
tough for CBS or NBC whoever else
is broadcasting this too, because uh,

296
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:47.440
who else you tuned in to watch? Well, Patrick can't lay there?

297
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:53.160
You go high school in Anaheim.
He's ten under. Unless you're an avid

298
00:20:53.200 --> 00:21:00.119
golfer, you don't know who that
is. We still got your you,

299
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:03.720
Ricky Ricky Fowl of course locally out
of Muriada, he's he's in the mix.

300
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:10.920
Worry McElroy's and I mean the top
names of golf are are playing the

301
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:14.559
top names in golf are playing for
the Saudis. You talk the Saudi the

302
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:18.759
Lift tournament, Well, they're in
the mix here. Yeah, nobody cares

303
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:25.720
about the PGA anymore. What was
that merger happening supposed top Yeah, when's

304
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:30.319
that happening? They're still talking about
it. We talked for three years now,

305
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:37.359
but you guys are really jaded money
talks VIC. PGA didn't understand that.

306
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:41.960
They're kind of like the n c
A, A kind of sat on

307
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:45.680
their hands thinking they were the only
show in town. Nobody could, nobody

308
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:51.319
could compete with them. You know, next thing you know, they got

309
00:21:52.720 --> 00:22:03.720
taken. It's coming. Tiger taking
from us today. Tiger was taken because

310
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:08.319
he was taken from us today.
Oh absolutely, I mean I think everyone

311
00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:15.079
dramatic. Yeah, we're still alive. Everyone who's riveted on Tiger Woods,

312
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:19.279
Fred for this tournament. Tiger was
taking them that golf club took his knee

313
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:32.599
out. Did I say that,
wow? Wow? Did I say that?

314
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:37.839
No? Normally I say that that
was the beginning, the beginning of

315
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:48.319
the end. We're just disappointing to
see Tiger out. And as you say,

316
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:53.839
as you say, as you say, the sponsors, the TV networks

317
00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:56.960
were planning on a weekend with Tiger, you know, in the in the

318
00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:03.400
mix of the last thirty six holes, that's a that's a supreme bummer.

319
00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:12.000
But again, Tiger Woods withdrawn from
the Genesis Invitational today due to illness and

320
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:18.000
according to officials from the tournament,
nothing to do with with his back.

321
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:23.279
So that's that's a good thing.
But he was playing through it was you

322
00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:29.119
know, he was, you know, tinkering with his swing. His he's

323
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:33.759
still rehabbing. He was tinkering with
his rehab. He was, you know,

324
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:36.480
Tiger was showing a lot of guts
out there, just I think playing

325
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:41.119
He was playing through a lot of
a lot of what are yours? Yours?

326
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:45.000
Uh? Pr campaign, bick,
what are we doing here? Oh?

327
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:48.880
I was really I was psyched to
see Tiger play, you know,

328
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:52.000
seventy two holes? Yeah, you
were, vig, You really were,

329
00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:02.319
Dick. You want the payroll with
Tiger Tiger Woods Company, none at all.

330
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:06.359
I just I'm a big fan of
Woods. I'm a big fan of

331
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:10.519
golf. You know, I carried
for many, many many years, you

332
00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:14.160
know, fellas you did. How
could you read it? Of course?

333
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:17.640
Where did you carry? First of
all, number on Austin, Texas.

334
00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:21.240
I used to club Tom Kite all
the time back in the back in the

335
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:26.680
day, Tom the Great Tom Kite, and is the consistency of golf back

336
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:30.759
in the day, back in Austin, Texas. In the celebrity golf tournaments,

337
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:33.960
I would I would carry the bag
of Tom Kite. Yeah, but

338
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:37.480
would you talk about pin placement,
how far out he is and give them

339
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.839
tips on how to play the shot? Could you read the greens and and

340
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:45.319
you know the distance and things like
that? Big? Were you accurated with

341
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:48.880
that? I was pretty accurate with
distance. I basically you know, I

342
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:53.319
give the three wood to Tom and
say Tom down the middle, Brother,

343
00:24:55.559 --> 00:25:00.359
down the middle, Tom Kite,
Tom down the middle. Baby would say,

344
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:04.119
how would you respond to that?
Got it? He'd said, Nick,

345
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:11.799
I'm killing it. I'm killing it. Now. Were you with Tom

346
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:15.319
when he won? He won one
or two majors? I think I was.

347
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:21.799
I only carry you for Kite in
the charity charity golf tournaments. Ah,

348
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:26.119
but he was so simple to caddy
for because down the middle man just

349
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:29.960
you know, you hit it down
the middle. Hey, Then that the

350
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:33.160
gold vick of every single, every
single get yourself in position for the next

351
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:38.039
shot. Absolutely. So what I'm
asking is how much of a stretch was

352
00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:42.119
that for you to tell Tom Kite, Hey, hit it down the middle.

353
00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:47.160
Once he was like you one hundred
and seventy from the whole, and

354
00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:51.279
he'd ask him, Vic, what
do you think of you know? Seven

355
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:56.319
six? I'd said, Tom,
doing nice easy six. There you go,

356
00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:02.640
nice easy six, don't puck big. How heavy was Tom Kite's bag?

357
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:08.279
It was pretty heavy. It was
an alligator bag. Alligator bag.

358
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:14.960
Man, it was pretty heavy.
Then you got all the accouterments in the

359
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:17.880
bag, you know, not just
the clubs. You got the umbrellas,

360
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:23.160
you got in case it rains,
you got sweaters, you got hats,

361
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:26.920
you got balls, you got te's. It's a heavy bag, Vic.

362
00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:30.640
Was there a point? Was there
a point where it was so heavy you

363
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:33.880
couldn't put it over your shoulder any
longer and just held it with two hands

364
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:37.680
in front of you and walked.
Never at that point I would straddle that

365
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:45.640
bag over my shoulder and just keep
just keep moving. Would he tipped you

366
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:53.440
after the round? Absolutely no.
There was a charity golf tournament. Absolutely

367
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:57.200
no, absolutely no, it was
you know, it was just caddy should

368
00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:02.759
be should always be tipped. Yeah, carrying all those as equipment, sweating,

369
00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:06.720
yeah or not, you got to
tip the caddy did it for the

370
00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:07.920
love, you know, for the
love of the of the charity. Look,

371
00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:12.960
just to be on the course with
Kite was a thrill. Do youre

372
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:18.079
any trash talking out there? Vic? Not? Tom Kite very clean,

373
00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:26.759
very business like. That might add
to the PGA tour though, you know,

374
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:30.880
well I heard that they're doing more
more micing of the players. You

375
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:37.039
know, they understand they want to
get closer to the fans, so there's

376
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:41.200
gonna be more micing of of golfers. I believe as a caddy, did

377
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:47.000
Tom Kite ever ask you to clean
his glasses? Yes? I believe he

378
00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:52.759
did. And did you have the
beautiful ropper cloth to clean his glasses?

379
00:27:52.200 --> 00:28:00.400
Absolutely? So here you go,
Tom, nice and clean, total clarity,

380
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:06.039
and we claro, here's a six
iron. He was a pleasure to

381
00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:12.839
caddy for. Well, that was
something we never knew. Yeah. I

382
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:19.200
was a caddy for many, many
years of my formative years. Every every

383
00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:26.000
summer I would caddy up in upstate
New York at the Tuxedo Golf Club in

384
00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:29.079
Touxedo, New York. Uh huh, Well, they would tip you,

385
00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:36.079
wouldn't they? Oh? Absolutely,
sensational tippers. Some roll Back in the

386
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:37.440
day, I called for Pat some
Roll a few times. Oh did you

387
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:44.839
really, Pat some Roll would come
over. Sensational golfer. Hit a tough

388
00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:48.000
short game, but he would drive
her three hundred yards. I mean he

389
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:52.960
was an incredible Oh that was a
kicker. So that makes sense to me

390
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:56.680
to a certain degree. But have
a couple of pops on the course,

391
00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:00.359
wouldn't he? Listen? Every wanted
a few pops on the course for it?

392
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:07.160
Were you trying to say, Red
that Pat summer All probably tossed a

393
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:14.599
few back on the course. What
an unusual form everyone? Everyone, You

394
00:29:14.599 --> 00:29:17.759
know, once you start golfing in
a relaxed setting, everyone's gonna have a

395
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:25.920
pop. No, you're gonna get
your your sandwiches and a beer at the

396
00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:30.400
air well as the seventh hole is
usually like a pop up, uh,

397
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:36.079
pop up sandwich shop with beer.
No doubt you'd have a sandwich while you

398
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:45.480
were out there. I wouldn't eat
when I was out there. Water.

399
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:48.160
Yeah, you grab a water,
that's it. Yeah, you just focused.

400
00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:55.480
You got a cigar, victor,
little cigar, little little glass,

401
00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:59.599
little beer. As you as you're
making the turn at the turn, Oh,

402
00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:03.440
yeah, to turn. Absolutely?
Are you sure that was a cigar?

403
00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:08.319
Kivin Just ask your questions. I'm
just inquiring. When I was inquiring,

404
00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:11.400
minds, you know, knowing Victor
is probably a blunt right, Victor,

405
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:14.960
Well, I was very young.
Wrong. You had to come out

406
00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:18.839
and say yeah, well, hey, I mean I'm speaking to twelve years

407
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:22.480
old, thirteen years old, fourteen
years old? Well you started young,

408
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:27.039
Vic. Geez told a young caddy
if Vic, you ever tells somebody what

409
00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:30.000
club do you use or you know, read the green and you were wrong?

410
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:36.000
Yes, of course, what would
they say to you? Well,

411
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:40.279
it was reflected in the tip for
it. Oh if you misread the greens

412
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:45.079
at the end of eighteen and they
lost, you know, they lost their

413
00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:52.279
their bets. Obviously, if you
were causing them to lose the bet,

414
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:57.319
you'd be part of the of the
of the negative cares flow and it affected

415
00:30:57.359 --> 00:31:00.319
your tip. So once your there, man, there's a lot of pressure

416
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:04.279
on a caddy. Man. I'm
sure that a lot of people would look

417
00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:08.440
for you and wanted you. But
were there people that said I don't want

418
00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:14.680
him. I think I was a
mixed bag. Fred I was a mixed

419
00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:21.960
bag. Some people requested me,
I was very very lucky, and some

420
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:30.160
people, you know, the caddies
obviously, uh had broken and LA sports,

421
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:33.839
that's going to be a cliffhanger.
That's going to be a cliphanger.

422
00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:38.279
They hold on, that's a cliffhanger. We'll get right back to it.

423
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:44.880
Come on, keep it moving,
keep it moving, Vic, I need

424
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:52.920
you to finish that listen. I
had caddying multi skills. But of course

425
00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:59.240
some great caddies in my caddy shack
back in the day, Jay and Dave,

426
00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:06.200
we're the top two because they were
like, who are Jane Dave?

427
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:08.640
There were four or five years older
than me, and they played sensational golf.

428
00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:14.640
They were like scratch golfers and they
were caddying well, Jay and Dave,

429
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:24.359
Jay and Dave sensational. And I'll
tell you who's been sensational. As

430
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:30.279
I told you when David Vassa planted
the seeds, Blake trining very impressive at

431
00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:40.000
Camelback Ranch. Dodgers fans a feeling
you very impressive. Yesterday he was throwing

432
00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:45.559
to a lot of guys and the
players were very impressed with Blake tryning.

433
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:57.720
But you say, oh, Tony's
son yet to face live batting practice,

434
00:32:57.759 --> 00:33:02.920
but still ahead of scare Jewel.
He had ten homers and twenty nine swings

435
00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:08.519
today at camel Back Ranch at batting
practice, and the show should be ripping

436
00:33:08.599 --> 00:33:19.279
live pitching next week. And Dave
Roberts has been saying that Otani will be

437
00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:23.200
ready for the first game of the
regular season March twentieth in South Korea against

438
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:30.240
the Padres. Listened to every historic
pitch from Soul right here the home of

439
00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:38.920
Otani, shar and the Dodgers am
five to seven the ELI Sports And I've

440
00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:45.640
been telling you guys for the years, OLTONI son's personality, so Gregarias,

441
00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:50.759
he's very friendly, Tiascar Hernandez says
of Otani. Quote, He's a very

442
00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:53.880
likable person. He's very friendly.
He likes to make friends, and I'm

443
00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:58.039
the same way. So I like
spending time with him and getting to know

444
00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:02.799
him better. Tiasca Hernandez, there
you go, Vic, how much time

445
00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:08.559
have you actually spent with Otani?
I feel like I know O Tani.

446
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:12.840
I know I have not spent any
time with Otani, but I feel I

447
00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:15.840
know him. Been following him,
you know, since high school in Japan.

448
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:20.639
Of course, the six years with
the Angels. I feel very close

449
00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:27.440
to Otani. He's just a wonderful
presence. But you don't know him.

450
00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:32.119
I don't know him personally, I
feel I know him. I feel close

451
00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:43.320
to him. You know what I'm
very close to is pizza, Fellas.

452
00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:50.519
I was I was nurtured by pizza
and growing up in New York City.

453
00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:52.320
I mean, who was it?
He always had a slice in your hand.

454
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:59.760
Very important food group to everyone.
And you know, the most expensive

455
00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:04.159
peace in America? Right? It
hit me. Oh here we go,

456
00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:14.360
all right, good big pizza pie. That's some more. Hey, that's

457
00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:21.280
love, Fellas. Where do you
think the most expensive pizza is New York?

458
00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:27.960
Exactly? New York City? How
much for a pie? One topping?

459
00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:38.119
Most expensive? How much? Fifty
nine? No way, Rodney,

460
00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:43.360
this is pizza. I'm not talking
to you know, caviar toppings, right,

461
00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:49.880
I'm talking one toping mozzarella, one
topping, mozzarella. Average average average

462
00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:54.960
pie, a full pie, large
pieco a large pie, large pie,

463
00:35:55.400 --> 00:36:02.119
twenty two dollars. Okay, fag
what do you think? Thirty four?

464
00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:08.920
Oh man, you are you're straddling
the cut line right there, Ronnie.

465
00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:14.199
What do you think I'm gonna go
thirty five very close, thirty three dollars

466
00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:17.800
and sixty five cents. Ah wow, I'll bet you you can find a

467
00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:22.960
pizza for thirty three bucks in La
vic. Well, some pizza places in

468
00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:28.840
New York even have the nerve to
charge a three dollars and fifty cents administrative

469
00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:31.440
fee and a pie. The hell
is that supposed to mean? Administrate this?

470
00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:36.400
Right? Well, that's gonna watch
your fat ass New York pizza anyway.

471
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:39.400
I'm a Chicago deep disc guy.
So restaurants here do that too.

472
00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:43.360
By the way, there are restaurants
that charge that here too. What does

473
00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:46.440
that mean? That means they make
more money basically, yeah, that means

474
00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:53.239
it goes toward benefits and things for
the employees because they don't pay him enough.

475
00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:55.159
We did a whole thing on this
a few weeks ago, about a

476
00:36:55.159 --> 00:36:58.800
month ago, didn't we. Yeah, that's a hitting administrator fee and all

477
00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:06.199
that. That's ludicrous. That cannot
be the most expensive pizza in the country

478
00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:08.159
thirty three bucks. There's got to
be one more expensive. There is one.

479
00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:13.039
When I was in Vegas recently,
there was a there was a pizza

480
00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:17.039
pie going for forty bucks. Well, they're VIC a whole pie expense.

481
00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:20.719
But then again, you know,
consider the fact that it is Vegas and

482
00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:24.320
everything is inflated in Las Vegas.
Well, it's still forty bucks, so

483
00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:35.440
that would be more expensive from extensive
research. In New York City, it's

484
00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:40.320
New York City's thirty three sixty five
one topping to go. You mean in

485
00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:45.039
New York the most expensive? No, in America. Why he just told

486
00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:47.519
you there was a pizza for forty
dollars in Las Vegas. He wasn't listening

487
00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:57.320
that it was an oberation. If
you got VIC, I guarantee if you

488
00:37:57.360 --> 00:37:59.760
go there now, the pizza is
probably going to be about forty two bucks.

489
00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:02.119
Easy. Was it was? Was
that super Bowl prices? No,

490
00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:06.760
VIC, it's a regular priced pizza. I was not there for the Super

491
00:38:06.760 --> 00:38:09.400
Bowl. I was there for the
uh, the AFC and NFC playoffs,

492
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:13.880
so it did calls for the Super
Bowl. Week got the playoff pizza.

493
00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:15.920
Yeah, it's a basically you're gonna
pay about forty two bucks for a pizza

494
00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:20.000
in Vegas, VIC, And it
has nothing to do with the Super Bowl.

495
00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:23.519
That's just the inflated price. Prices
are always inflated in Vegas. Yeah,

496
00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:34.920
yeah, well, remember there's a
Hawaiian spot. Victor is like,

497
00:38:35.239 --> 00:38:39.079
I think it's a pizza in the
forties as well. Damn confirms that that's

498
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:45.840
not the most expensive pizza. One
topping, Yeah, one topping, Yeah,

499
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:52.159
one topping vic forty two bucks.
Yeah, well that's that's crazy.

500
00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:59.960
That's more loco. Yeah, so
that's more local. Forty bucks for a

501
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:04.360
pizza to go. No, not
so that, but that's that's the most

502
00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:10.199
expensive. Now, well, according
to my pizza sauces, it's thirty three

503
00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:16.840
sixty five. Not to be outdone, right, Vick, I've done my

504
00:39:16.840 --> 00:39:20.519
Piecelessen, I do a lot of
pizza research, you know me? No,

505
00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:25.599
yes? Do you know what that
leads is too big to the source?

506
00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:32.079
Yes, it do. It's all
about the All Star Game, and

507
00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:39.239
I'm quoting a rock band out of
San Jose this nineteen ninety nine song of

508
00:39:39.320 --> 00:39:45.559
inspiration to be as fabulous as you
can be. With the All Star weekend

509
00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:52.840
looming and snowy Indie Indianapolis native Babyface
will be singing the national anthem. By

510
00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:59.559
the way, Jennifer will be rocking
halftime. There's a lot, a lot

511
00:39:59.599 --> 00:40:05.519
of great entertainment. You're gonna see
some mind blowing dunks. But they should

512
00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:08.760
do away with that dough Vic that's
no fun. Yeah, let's do away

513
00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:15.880
with all of that. Yeah,
give everybody the days off. Listen.

514
00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:21.760
I'm still a sucker for the slam
dunk. I love the creativity. I

515
00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:24.760
love the creativity. It's school yard, man, It's the ultimate school yard

516
00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:30.039
play. Yeah, the visuals and
the guys on the sidelines, doctor J

517
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:32.480
judging all of that. You know
what Fred wants like an old timers game,

518
00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:36.360
that's what just that's what you want
to see, right. If I

519
00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:40.920
have John Halchek out there, yeah, have Hondo? Yeah right, don't

520
00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:45.320
they have as they have a w
NBA player in the three point contest too.

521
00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:49.039
I think it's just a one on
one between Steph and S three and

522
00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:52.159
NYE and Escu, just the two
of them. Month they put Caitlin Clark

523
00:40:52.159 --> 00:40:58.000
in there. Congratulations Kaitlyn Clark.
Yeah, might as well. She's a

524
00:40:58.039 --> 00:41:00.400
pro anyway these days, right,
college kids professional, same difference. Yeah.

525
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:02.639
I want to see her state farm
commercials. He's making money, so

526
00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:12.760
why the hell not? Yea.
Caitlin Clark was burying Jay's from like forty

527
00:41:12.760 --> 00:41:15.880
feet out last night in Iowa City. But that's not fun to watch,

528
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:17.760
according Fred So, no, that'd
be fun to watch her. No,

529
00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:24.400
she was just going for the record. Do you really didn't care? No,

530
00:41:24.559 --> 00:41:30.679
congratulations Kathlyn Clark sensational accomplishment. Who
knew Kelsey Plumb had that record before

531
00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:34.960

532
00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:37.400
ten. I guess all right,
So if we had the high coup yet,

533
00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:43.119
