Well, 11 00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:46.320 let me tell you, I think this is gonna be an annual thing 12 00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:50.840 for the March madness. We have you know, Fred here and Ron here 13 00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:55.560 and keV and you guys are just the greatest and this is a tradition and 14 00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:00.039 we have how let's hear for the guys everybody, all right, Yeah, 15 00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:04.120 you know, you know Crony's is a family restaurant with a sports theme. 16 00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.560 Like you said, we have five locations. We're all about the community. 17 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.120 Although we make you know, the best sandwiches and burgers. I think, 18 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.760 what do you think? Gang pretty good? And how about those Buffalo Way 19 00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:19.000 very good coldest beer in town. Ladies and gentlemen and uh and we're just 20 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.040 you know, the reason why we we do well is because we have a 21 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.319 relationship with the with the community, with the schools, with the youth sports, 22 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.200 adult sports and everything like that. So so we just have a good 23 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:36.040 time here. You are a natural man, You're like the natural MC of 24 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.719 the area. Man.

I know I look very young. Yes you do, yes, 27 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:52.120 but but you sure no, you do look young. I look I look 28 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:57.159 like Fred's older older brother. But but no, we you know that's we. 29 00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:59.760 We do prizes all the time and we're always on the microphone. My 30 00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:04.040 partner Lyle Chuck and Dave. We we also you know, at the five 31 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.080 different locations, we we just engage with the people and it's genuine too. 32 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.840 The word cronies, I don't know if you know this, Fred means friends. 33 00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:15.599 Yeah, I heard that you know, Fred just walked away. He's 34 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.719 just letting me just go. You know, hey, you you have any 35 00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:24.080 questions, you know, this is your spot. That's that's how we do 36 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.840 your thing. This is your place, man, you know. So we 37 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:31.400 would go to uh Europe, uh and we went together one year where the 38 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:36.280 boys played on this all all Star team. This guy at All Star play 39 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.520 basketball. We played against professional teams. Was that the Morocco trip that was 40 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:44.199 That's where they threw the monkey out. Let me tell you please for those 41 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.120 that don't know, can you please tell them the monkey story where Fred got 42 00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.520 But we're both gonna, we're both gonna do this. Listen, So we 43 00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:55.240 in between games, our families get to tour the country. Hold on, 44 00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:59.599 Fred will tell you. And then you're gonna. You're gonna and we just 45 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.479 see different things that you probably only see on like these these day great race 46 00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:07.599 shows and things like that, and so and so there was someone trying to 47 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.199 promote their animals and show what's all about Fred. Why don't you tell them 48 00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:14.400 what happened? All right? I just want to say this. So while 49 00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:15.719 we were on this trip, and I'll finish the story. While we were 50 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:20.520 on this trip, for whatever reason, and I don't know why. Anytime 51 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.919 there was a team dinner or anything, they'd always come up and say, 52 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:28.639 hey, give a speech. Always, and they would look at me and 53 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:31.199 I'd go, let Dave do it. Dave would go up and start, 54 00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:34.319 and right in the middle, he'd give me the microphone and all right, 55 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.680 Fred, go ahead, just like you did right here. That's my go 56 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:40.120 to single time we would be asked to give these speech and I'd say, 57 00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.240 I don't want to say anything, but dude, Fred. The funny thing 58 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.599 is the locals in these different countries they would say, hey, this guy 59 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.039 was that guy Fred, he's good. He should probably do this professionally. 60 00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:54.400 Oh Jesus. All right. So anyway, we're in this marketplace in Morocco, 61 00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:58.479 and what they tell you to do, and of course I have a 62 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:03.560 tendency not to listen, do not look or get too close to anyone, 63 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:08.680 or they're going to ask you for money. Okay. So we're standing over 64 00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:12.479 here and I say, oh God, look there's monkeys and monkeys are doing 65 00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:17.560 tricks. So I get a little closer and no one's stopping me, and 66 00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:21.519 they're right in the middle of this marketplace. So now I get pretty close. 67 00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:28.120 One of the guys grabs the monkey from the ground, runs at me 68 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:31.519 and throws the monkey at me, literally throws it like this. I caught 69 00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:38.079 the monkey because he threw it at me. The guy comes over and sticks 70 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.439 out his hand and says, okay, pay me, and I'm like, 71 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:46.240 I'm not paying you at me. So I caught the monkey, and I 72 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:50.000 don't like monkeys. So then another guy walks over the way with him. 73 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:53.600 Yeah. No, well I had no choice because that the guy put the 74 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.040 snake around my neck, right, And it's true. The guy put a 75 00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.600 snake around my neck and then he stuck out his hand. And if I 76 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.399 didn't ain't either one of them, he wouldn't have taken the stinky monkey away 77 00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.600 or the snake off my neck. So I bought me forty bucks to get 78 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:09.040 out of there. It's forty bucks to get the monkey off of you. 79 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.399 And uh and then and then Fred, you had to put blinders on you. 80 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:14.639 You couldn't look at any vendors the rest of the day. No. 81 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:16.720 I was pulled aside. Remember they took me aside, and they said, 82 00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:18.879 don't walk anywhere, and you have to stay over here on the side. 83 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:21.720 Why why did they pick you to throw the monkey at well, I mean 84 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:26.360 you had that look or I mean why you well, I had a look 85 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:30.480 of wonderment. Yes, he's walking around the ligood's eyes wide open. Oh 86 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.160 my god, look how beautiful this is. Look all these interesting things, 87 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:34.519 and all of a sudden, damn, you were a mark. He's a 88 00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.240 mark, he said. I got that guy. And I'll tell you this. 89 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.000 It was about one hundred degrees and a monkey stunk, all right, 90 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:43.240 Just you know, you can file that away as well. That monkey had 91 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.560 not been bathed in about six weeks. Really, Christina was bad. It 92 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.759 was bad. Then I got yelled at it. It didn't go. You 93 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:56.639 should post those pictures on your site, you know, monkey. But it 94 00:05:56.680 --> 00:06:00.480 was great, you know so. But anyway, you know, Cronies is 95 00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.639 more than sports. That's what we're talking about sports. It's March madness here. 96 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:08.000 I just wanted to say that my bracket is still at ninety four point 97 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.839 eight percent of the highest in the country. Ladies and gentlemen. I'm just 98 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.040 saying, how do you know that? Because it says if you look at 99 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:16.279 your thing, I'll show you in a second. Right, Well, let 100 00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:20.839 me tell you I believe I threw darts three darts Kentucky losing yesterday? I 101 00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:25.879 did not who who had Kentucky not not or losing? You know what I'm 102 00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:28.800 saying. Right, that's a breaker, you know, so everyone loses the 103 00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:31.079 same amount that on that on that one game. But we have all the 104 00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:33.920 games here, you guys watching them while you're doing this, Can you guys 105 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:38.600 a multitask because how many TVs we have in here? I have thirty TVs 106 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:41.839 just rocking? You know? Did I tell you that we have five locations? 107 00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:45.600 Fred? I heard that day? Did I tell you about the Wing 108 00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.319 special or winning wings? And we were all to these wonderful people over here. 109 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:54.040 We were giving bottles of our thirsty sauce, our homemade saw exactly. 110 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.800 It's good. You know what we're known for, Fred, what let me 111 00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:02.120 tell you something. We are like Christine.

Yeah, he was our ace. 133 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:15.519 Well, I would think that when he was so good, sometimes the 134 00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.680 only way people gotta get on bases bunch, so maybe the bunch a third 135 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.519 try.

Just scrolling on social media and seeing your face all over it's 163 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.320 definitely nerve wracking, but just trying to control it and just be a kid 164 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:22.200 as much as I can. Now, Brady, I'm I'm I'm an old 165 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.240 man. So it's it's a little.

You're out there working out for different 170 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:45.200 colleges already, right, some problem. What's that been like? Yeah, 171 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:48.120 it's cool, it's definitely hard. Like in January, we got a bunch 172 00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.159 of schools coming through. So I'll just be in my math class or whatever 173 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:52.960 it is, and I'll be get in text for my dad like sell and 174 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.159 so schools there and you got to get signed out and they're waiting for you. 175 00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:01.120 So it's definitely difficult. January. It's very cool having like big time 176 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:03.919 schools, like the head coach at Penn State just coming to your school and 177 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.759 being able to shake his hand. It's obviously an honor. But January is 178 00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:09.159 definitely hard, just controlling school and wait, wait, wait, so they'll 179 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:13.600 show up, Hey, I'm here, and they want you to sign out 180 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.360 of class to go throw at like seventh or eight o'clock in the morning. 181 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.720 Yeah, it's definitely hard. Sometimes they'll tell me like a week before, 182 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.360 sometimes it's the night before. But sometimes I mean it's just right there. 183 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:28.480 Like one time I was studying for my Algebra two test. I'd like my 184 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.440 tutor at seven in the morning, and my dad calls me like so and 185 00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:33.519 so they're here and they want to see you throw like now, and I'm 186 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:35.360 like, all right, well, looks like I'm gonna be retaking that test 187 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.159 next week, so all right, love it. So when you me with 188 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:43.960 the coaches, what are they saying to you? What's the pitch they're giving 189 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:46.720 you? Yeah, I mean they're kind of just trying to take on a 190 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:50.440 conversation. They're not really I mean the questions. It's more like just like 191 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:52.639 adults a kid, like I feel like I'm talking to my uncle. They're 192 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:54.879 kind of just interviewing me, seeing how my eye contact is, seeing how 193 00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.240 respectful I am, seeing if I'm bringing up other kids, but really not 194 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.799 any serious questions. I feel like they're interviewing me on other stuff. Now, 195 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:07.320 you told me off there that you know, these workouts could happen at 196 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.720 any time, and right now you have some teammates that possibly could go to 197 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:16.919 some schools to play as well. And if a school comes and they're not 198 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.279 necessarily maybe it's a smaller school, they're not necessarily looking at you, but 199 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:22.720 they're looking at your teammates, you'll go out and throw for your teammates, 200 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:24.879 right, Yes, sir, for sure. We got a bunch of guys 201 00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:26.720 undersize, some colleges say, but they have really good stats, or they 202 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:30.000 at really good speed, and they kind of just want to see them in 203 00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:33.519 person. So if a smaller school comes through, I'm not gonna deny throwing 204 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:35.960 to them just because I got other kids on my team that are trying to 205 00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:37.840 get looked auck as well. All right, So when schools are talking to 206 00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.759 you, and I mean, you're in a fascinating place now, because, 207 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:45.720 as Rodney says, you're you're in a town without a sheriff, with nil 208 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.399 and opportunities that weren't available at least legally. When Rodney played what does that 209 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:58.559 mean that? What are you laughing at? Riley? He went to usc 210 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:01.600 Yeah, I don't know what I want to see. If you were listening 211 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.039 to know what I'm talking about now, I know I know nothing was happening 212 00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:11.200 anyway. So you have those opportunities, how do you view that. Niyel. 213 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:13.399 Do you look at a school now, I mean, do you expect 214 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.799 schools once it gets serious, because you're one of the top guys in the 215 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:20.279 country to come to you and say, all right, Brady, uh, 216 00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:22.240 you know, here's your scholarship and we're gonna I want you to talk to 217 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:26.519 this guy because this guy here, he's going to hook you up. I 218 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:30.440 mean, are you expecting that kind of thing? What will you do if 219 00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:33.919 it happens. Yeah, it's definitely interesting. There's a lot of factors that 220 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.320 go into a college, and that's just another add on to it. I'm 221 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:39.919 not saying that's like an important one to me. Just money is just another 222 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.879 add on. It's just a blessing being able to have college paid for and 223 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.000 have your own apartment with a couple of teammates and being able to play for 224 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.200 millions thousands of people on TV. So money's just to add on. It's 225 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:52.559 definitely not going to be the reason I go to a school. I think 226 00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:54.559 it's just going to be there, just another add on. Like I said, 227 00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:58.879 now, we obviously every school in the country is looking at you right 228 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.519 now when you're growing up, maybe not so much now because you're looking at 229 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:07.159 it through a different lens. But growing up, did you have your schools 230 00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:11.039 that you were that you liked and possibly wanted to play for, and has 231 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:15.679 that changed? I mean, there's really not a dream school anymore. But 232 00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:18.639 USC was obviously really cool just being local, forty five minutes away. My 233 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.120 grandma went there, so that was obviously really cool. I went there too. 234 00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:26.799 Yeah, I know a lot shout my dad played in Arizona, so 235 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.919 just yeah, absolutely, just being in areas of the family whole life. 236 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.120 I got them in March Madness, so they were always just another school that 237 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:37.720 I love to wear their jersey on Saturdays. But right now it's really just 238 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:41.039 up for grabs, Okay. And if it's up for grabs, what are 239 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:43.879 you looking for in a school? I mean, there's so much but I 240 00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:48.200 was talking right here, but I mean he was talking a lot about location, 241 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:52.559 and there's so much up for grabs with education, how they take care 242 00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:54.080 of a player, relationships with the quarterback, coach, off, it's a 243 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.840 coordinator, head coach. There's I mean, I could go on and on. 244 00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.159 That's why it's so much. That's it's such a hard decision. But 245 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:03.960 uh, I mean, the list just goes on and on. But we 246 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.360 were talking about location, and location is just not going to be the problem. 247 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:09.799 I don't care if I'm in the middle of nowhere. If the place 248 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.679 is right, it's right right now. When you look at your game, 249 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:18.000 is there anyone out there right now professionally that you look at and go that 250 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:22.559 my game kind of resembles this particular person. Is anyone out there that you 251 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:24.799 look at and say that, Yeah, I'd like to say, Josh Allen, 252 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:31.759 Yeah, not bad. Yeah. I get that question quite often, 253 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:33.799 So Josh Allen is my answer? Just a good arms show. So you're 254 00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:37.879 fearless, you don't mind taking hits? Oh yeah, coordinator, I don't 255 00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.240 really, I'm going deep pretty often. I love it. Yeah, I 256 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:46.320 just ask my off its coordinator. Okay, So in this process that you're 257 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.039 in now and as you enter your junior year, do you think a school 258 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:56.120 could catch your attention as early as this upcoming year and have you commit to 259 00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:58.000 it? I mean yeah, I mean I'm just looking for the right spot. 260 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:02.559 Obviously. It's really cool for the schools that are interested in me early, 261 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:06.080 offering me earlier. And I mean I got a couple offers when I 262 00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:07.720 was in eighth grade. I think it was our freshman year. Who offered 263 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.919 you an eighth grade or freshman year? University of Arizona was my first one, 264 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:15.840 so I got in the Filecats. Yeah, so that was my first 265 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.360 one. I went through coach Smith, Keith Smith, so that one's always 266 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:22.159 special. I'm never gonna forget my first one. But uh, I mean, 267 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:23.240 yeah, what I mean whatever fits me, right. I don't know 268 00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:27.279 when that is gonna be the decision, but I mean, if you offer 269 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.799 me, then you got an opportunity. I guess now. You told me 270 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:34.840 you going into your junior year. You said you guys are gonna be a 271 00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:37.120 senior heavy team this year. Right, Yes, so you guys are gonna 272 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:40.559 be loaded. You're gonna be pretty good this year. We're gonna be pretty 273 00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:44.440 good this year. Give me more to No, you're gonna be a predicted 274 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:47.840 give me a prediction, man. I mean we're going into you like Joe 275 00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:51.279 Namon. I'm not guaranteeing anything, but we're working pretty hard right now. 276 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:55.759 We've always been the smaller neighborhood school. Probably in warm ups, you think 277 00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:59.240 you're gonna kick our butt, but uh, we're coached very well by my 278 00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:02.440 dad and the staff. We got and uh, I think we Yeah, 279 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:04.799 shout out coach. I think we really are one and we work our butts 280 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:07.839 off every single day, and I think that's what makes us win games. 281 00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:11.160 I'm trying to rob. It is Newberry, the Marmani League, Newberry Parker. 282 00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:15.000 No, we're switching leagues every year. I don't really know we're switching 283 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:18.160 leagues. Yeah, you know what, You're so good. You can't be 284 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.640 controlled in one league. You don't know where you'll be next year. Okay, 285 00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:25.759 well, thanks for doing this, man, you said, thank you. 286 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:29.079 I appreciate youngratulations on your success. Thank you so much. Fuck man, 287 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:30.960 I got my eye on you, looking out for you. I'm gonna 288 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:33.440 come to a few games this year. Two chick you out. Thank you 289 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.519 so much. Thanks for joining us, all right, Freddy's Michael Newberry park 290 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:44.240 quarterback. Pretty cool, Rodney? When cool? When you think back to, 291 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:48.240 uh, when you were in high school and the process in the recruiting 292 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:49.359 process. Let me get the right frame of mind. I think back that 293 00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:52.880 far. Yeah, I understand. Yeah, a long time ago you took 294 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.160 your medications. I did, You're fine. Uh how different do you think 295 00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:59.680 it is today compared to when you were playing? Uh? Well, it's 296 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:03.079 night and day, night and day nowadays, because there's so much attention. 297 00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:07.319 Like I mentioned, I think you couldn't like there was a period of time 298 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:11.079 you couldn't talk to a high school kid until his senior year at a certain 299 00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:12.920 point. I think, at a certain leveling when you're playing, like going 300 00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:18.200 and maybe going into your senior year is when a college could contact you directly. 301 00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:21.440 You can get letters, but nobody could come talk to you, so 302 00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:25.480 that that was definitely different. And then the exposure and you know, and 303 00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:27.759 and you know, everybody's got tapes on you and things like that. Uh, 304 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:32.960 it is so dramatically different. I mean, as much as as cool 305 00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:36.960 as it is, I still I don't envy the decision that, you know, 306 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:38.920 a guy like Brady has to make because he's got everybody in the country 307 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:42.079 coming at him, and he's got to make that decision. And he's only 308 00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:47.119 a sophomore going into his junior year and still's got two more years to play, 309 00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:51.799 right, And so he's got a good nucleus around him that he can 310 00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:53.440 focus on these next two years. Because when you get it, like he 311 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:57.039 said, people were coming at him when he was in eighth grade, right, 312 00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:00.119 and for a lot of kids that can just blow them up and blow 313 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:03.839 their head up and go, I don't have to work anymore. But he's 314 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:07.319 surrounded by the right people where he's gonna continue to work. You know what 315 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:11.480 I find interesting. You know, I asked him the question about nil and 316 00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:12.920 he goes, well, you know, money's not gonna be the determining factor. 317 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:17.279 Well, let's have that conversation again in a year and a half. 318 00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:21.599 Seriously, let's have that conversation in a year and a half, because I 319 00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:25.880 don't think you know, and maybe that's the standard answer and the correct answer 320 00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:27.720 for everybody. That's not gonna that's not gonna make a difference for me. 321 00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:32.920 I think it's gonna make a difference for everybody. It's gonna be a factor. 322 00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:37.839 But I think that because of who he is and where he's gonna be 323 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:41.720 situated, and you know, amongst other quarterbacks in the league, I don't 324 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:45.279 think it's gonna be a dramatic difference between the say, the ten schools that 325 00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:48.480 are recruiting them in terms of the money factor. They're all gonna have some 326 00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:52.039 money to give to them. Oh so, big schools are all gonna be 327 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:53.079 in the ballpark, They're all going to be in the ballpark, I believe. 328 00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:56.960 I mean, everybody's not gonna be Caleb Williams. No, but there's 329 00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.720 gonna be kind of a level with top school and this kind of this is 330 00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:03.039 the going rate. Yeah, I think it is. I mean it's gonna 331 00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:07.839 be the going rate. I mean, you know, Michigan's not gonna be 332 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.440 outdone by Ohio State, and Ohio State's not gonna be outdone by Penn State, 333 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:14.200 and Penn State's not gonna be outdone by Texas. I mean, they're 334 00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:17.039 all gonna be in the ballpark when it comes to a player like that. 335 00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:23.119 So it'd be interesting the dynamic comes where one school is so dramatically different than 336 00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:27.039 another one, then you really got to make a decision. All right. 337 00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:30.680 Yeah, well we have to make a decision right now. Uh oh, 338 00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:34.200 that decision is what are we ready for? Spirituality? Oh? Baby, 339 00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:38.559 we need it, We definitely need it. We need it.

You had to see it. But once you saw 352 00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:49.960 it, you'd seen it. One of the things you buy that you put 353 00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:52.960 in the closet that you never see again, even if you buy it exactly. 354 00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:59.039 Yeah, I mean I think they had like like a Gucci belt for 355 00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:11.880 forty seven cents, Gucci with one seat.

Yes, well, 365 00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:21.680 fellas, I love the way he broke down the situation with earlier. Yeah, 366 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:25.720 you feel about all this? I mean, we haven't got your take 367 00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:27.720 on that. You know, the mind of otanis on. You've pointed that 368 00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:32.319 out for years. You live in his head, he lives in yours. 369 00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:37.720 You channel him, Vic, how do you feel about this? It's very 370 00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:44.799 disturbing, It's very disappointing. Of course, I thought, uh Nightingale really 371 00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:51.559 nailed it earlier, that this will be solved with a very very uh you 372 00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:59.559 know light. I believe a penalty in that Otanis knows nothing of gambling. 373 00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:06.960 I can tell you that his only life Wait wait, stop, and you 374 00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:10.400 might be right, but how can you sit here and say, I can 375 00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:14.279 tell you that he knows nothing of gambling nothing. I believe, I believe 376 00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:17.599 that it is not his world. That was that was you know, his 377 00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:22.359 interpreters world. Obviously, you know God lost in the rabbit hole. Vic. 378 00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:26.319 He was at the win for seven hours straight about a year and a 379 00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:32.799 half ago, on the blackjack table. Vic. I'm kidding, I'm kidding, 380 00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:37.519 big. I know you're kidding. His essence is baseball. Let's face 381 00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.160 it, twenty four to seven, that is Otani. I don't this is 382 00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:45.480 this is not his world. I could say, again, how do you 383 00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:52.759 know that, vig If you don't know judging from his his his lifestyle, 384 00:24:55.240 --> 00:25:00.359 judging from his career, what lifestyle. We don't know anything about him solely 385 00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:03.440 baseball. We know, we knew he had a dog, Papo in a 386 00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:12.680 white Yeah, we know he was engaged, fick. You know something we 387 00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:18.519 don't know? Come on, Vic, I believe he's and it's very well 388 00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:25.559 documented that Otani's life is baseball and basically it's twenty four to seven. How 389 00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:27.839 is he achieved to become basically, you know, the greatest player in baseball 390 00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:34.640 today has been his focus on baseball. He's he's not interested in sidebars. 391 00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:44.599 This O is pure baseball. I feel for, you know, for ip 392 00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:48.079 A, his family. I feel for O. I feel for the Dodger 393 00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:51.759 family. I have to, you know, to you know, to suffer 394 00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:56.160 through this. You know, this investigation. Now, it's going to be 395 00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:59.640 uncomfortable, but it will be done. It will be done right. And 396 00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:07.720 I'm obviously I mean, in my mind I can't say I have incise information 397 00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:17.400 on because you don't. All I could do is follow following his career religiously 398 00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:22.960 and following his lifestyle religiously. You're like that guy in Korea that uh bought 399 00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:27.279 the suits he wore, the car he drives, the shoes he wears. 400 00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:36.119 He's like your religion to So basically his whole essence is baseball. Are you 401 00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:41.039 worth me in that? Are with me on that? Yeah? Totally selfless 402 00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:45.599 and totally selfless. Okay, VIC helping out a friend, helping out his 403 00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:48.000 very good friend, Vic. Can I do anything he got? He got 404 00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:51.960 caught in this chaos? All right, let me ask you one question then 405 00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:55.599 we're gonna put it to bed. All right, here's the question. Do 406 00:26:55.680 --> 00:27:00.160 you believe in? The interpreter said, Otani was helping him his good friend 407 00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:03.839 pay off a four and a half million dollar debt. Do you believe that 408 00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:10.200 or do you believe when the interpreter came back and said, Otani knew nothing 409 00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:14.359 about it, I did this on my own and the implication was that he 410 00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:19.119 stole the money somehow. Which do you believe? As a man that knows 411 00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:25.400 the mind of Otani son, I believe Otani is totally clean. That is 412 00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:30.720 my belief. Okay, but that wasn't the question. Otani probably is clean, 413 00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:34.079 but which interpreter's story do you believe is correct? I don't know. 414 00:27:34.119 --> 00:27:37.240 He flipped, you know when you flip and you flop like that after you 415 00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:40.960 know, with a ninety minute interview. I don't know. I don't know 416 00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:42.559 what to believe at this points. That's why, you know, the probe 417 00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:45.440 will go on, the investigation will go on, and we'll get to the 418 00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:49.039 you know, the heart of the matter. But do you believe do you 419 00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:57.519 believe Otani knew anything about this gambling situation? I don't know. I don't 420 00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:02.440 know. I think he was, I don't know what. At this point, 421 00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:06.559 it's very very nebulous. I don't know, I don't know what to 422 00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:17.119 All I know is I know and I we don't know what he knows. 423 00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:22.839 We have to find out there. You could big golf. All right, 424 00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:26.559 Uh, we'll be back and Vic will tell us what he believes he knows, 425 00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:38.400 and also have the high coup from Croni's in Newberry Park. All right, 426 00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:42.799 we're out back at Crony's. It's Friday. We don't care. Oh 427 00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:47.160 they brought me. They brought my birthday beer. Oh yeah.

Bick called hitting 444 00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:44.920 my nil money for Brady real quick? Is that what you're doing? Yeah? 445 00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:48.319 Okay, got them a couple I gotta tell you what a couple of 446 00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:52.319 dollars. I gotta be honest with you. I got a feel in Penn 447 00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:59.839 staves for coming. I think you have to that a little bit more. 448 00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:02.200 Yeah, yeah, I agree, all right, I go ahead big. 449 00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:07.960 The salient point I want to make is we must now support Otani Sohn remember 450 00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:14.799 his iron will severely tested in South Korea. He gets there. There's the 451 00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:18.680 love fest, Then there is the bomb hoax, then the Ippimus Well horror 452 00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:26.480 gambling mess, allegations that old Tony's friend and interpreter ripped off Otani for millions 453 00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:30.599 to pay gambling debts to a not so kosher o C bookie. So that's 454 00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:33.680 the story you believe. No, I wanted to lay down the fact right 455 00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:41.599 now, the support for Otani is urgent and I believe is necessary. He 456 00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:48.519 must empty his mind and clear the clutter, clear it, and we must 457 00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:52.359 support OLTONI san right now. All right, it's gonna be hectic. Let's 458 00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:56.799 face it's gonna be hectic, but we must give all our love to Altani. 459 00:30:56.839 --> 00:31:03.079 Son. Okay, no distraction, but it's a bit of a distraction, 460 00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:06.559 said, We got to eliminate the destruction. That's what Big is talking 461 00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:15.000 about exactly. I think defense will do that. I think they'll they'll eliminate 462 00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:22.680 that distraction when they're getting ready. Well, Fred Fix not happy about you, 463 00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:30.920 Fred Rodney. This journey of the Dodger season has been unbelievable, and 464 00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:37.359 it's we've only played two games. It's just going to be an amazing season 465 00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:41.400 for the Azul. Well, it's not much of a journey yet, Vic, 466 00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:49.160 Well, the journey to Sounds, I mean, it's only two games, 467 00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:52.200 but it was pretty wild and Soul the Soul series was pretty wild. 468 00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:59.160 What did you think of Yamamoto? Vic, It's gonna take time. It's 469 00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:02.559 a process, yes, he said, he is it twenty five years old. 470 00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:07.519 He has to go through a lot of a lot of change, yes, 471 00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:12.359 but the Dodgers, the Dodgers coaching staff is fabulous and the work through 472 00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:15.880 it. Obviously, the Dodgers defense has to has to get more air tight. 473 00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:21.839 Yeah, I mean to get up the five runs. But you know, 474 00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:27.160 if months he gets that the ground ball that went for a double they 475 00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:30.200 called the double it was you know, obviously he butchered the ground ball at 476 00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:37.160 the line, But that don't change that. Now the defense, the defense 477 00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:40.039 is going to tighten up. The Dodgers will the Dodgers will be fine defense. 478 00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:44.359 That's what it is. Do you think you'd get comfortable going out of 479 00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:49.119 the stretch now, vic, I believe so. I thought Nightingale made a 480 00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:53.799 great point that everyone steals anyway. What's the difference if your if your stretches, 481 00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:58.559 you're a great stretch, you're a mediocre stretch. Some people are gonna 482 00:32:58.559 --> 00:33:02.519 steal on you. In the in this new in the brave new world of 483 00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:07.200 baseball, people are stealing. That's why he should go with what we suggested 484 00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:13.039 the other day in the podcast. Anybody that reaches first base immediately goes to 485 00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:16.400 third. He never pitches from the stretch. He never has to. If 486 00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:20.519 you go to first base, just keep going. We're not even gonna make 487 00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:22.799 a play on you. Yeah, it's the o John Lester. Just don't 488 00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:27.200 even look at first even be there. Who just gomed And when you get 489 00:33:27.240 --> 00:33:30.799 the third I'll pitch out of the wind up and it'll be fine. Maybe 490 00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:37.400 they take that approach vic. Yeah, the stretch is overrated, overrated, 491 00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:43.799 man, but you know it's not overrated the height. We get to the 492 00:33:43.880 --> 00:33:49.920 source, yes, yes, the source. This is from Bussan. Okay, 493 00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:52.039 he's on the he's on the mount Rushmore of haiku artists.
