But let's get started with 38 00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.599 the Dodgers today, Rodney and more reports. We have talked 39 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.159 about it, we have hypopthesized about it, but there are 40 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.400 more reports that they would be the favorites now to 41 00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:59.439 sign Roki Sazaki, the twenty three year old Japanese right hander. 42 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:03.040 He is hosted. That means at that age they don't 43 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.879 have to go out and spend Yamamoto money on him. 44 00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:09.439 His deal could rival the deal Otani had with the Angels. 45 00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:11.879 And what does that mean? It means he is cost 46 00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:15.560 effective and more importantly, that means they have even more 47 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:20.560 money to improve the team and add to the pitching staff. Really, 48 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.560 the only team, it seems that might be in the 49 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:28.879 running are the Padres, because Suzaki knows you darbage and 50 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:31.840 has admired you darbage. But if you got to pick 51 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:33.639 one person to admire you, is it going to be 52 00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:36.039 you darbage with the Padres or you come into La 53 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:42.680 to admire Otani and his pal Yamamoto. I think it 54 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:47.319 looks pretty good for the Dodgers, and it would be 55 00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:51.479 an embarrassment of riches for the Dodgers. And soon they 56 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:56.680 will have an entire Pacific rim pitching staff. Will the Dodgers? 57 00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:59.319 They just they just might. 58 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:06.680 Yeah yeah, and they got a half Asian manager as well. 59 00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:10.439 I mean throw that in, you know, I don't know, 60 00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:12.439 you know, a lot of a lot of guys look 61 00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:14.800 up to certain guys. Yes, Otani is a superstar and 62 00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.879 he's the guy now, and Yamamoto just signed a big deal. 63 00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.599 But for I get for kids growing up, like when 64 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:24.240 you're playing Little League, you know, in Japan, a lot 65 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:29.560 of even even Otani said this that he looked up 66 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.759 to you, Darvish, right, you darbish was the guy. He'd 67 00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:34.800 been doing it for years, did it in Texas, did 68 00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:36.240 it now, doing it in San Diego. 69 00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:38.000 So a lot of guys look up to him. 70 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.439 Same thing with them, you know, when each Yiro was 71 00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:42.840 coming up, it was him, and and it was the 72 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:45.719 guy uh the King Kong from New York. 73 00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:46.919 Uh, Matt Sui. 74 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:51.400 Yeah, people looked up to and and those were the heroes, 75 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.800 and people wanted to play in Seattle, wanted to play 76 00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:56.599 in New York because of those guys. So I don't 77 00:03:56.680 --> 00:04:00.000 I don't see that being an issue. And I understand 78 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.919 and at some of them, my you know favor or you 79 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.520 Darvis is their hero and and and would love to 80 00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:09.439 play with him. So but going back to him and 81 00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.719 his contract, so that means that the Dodgers or anybody 82 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:16.120 could sign him, he would be under club control. For 83 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:19.680 six years, right, Yes, for six years, and that's because 84 00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:23.000 of age. Yes, that's because of his age. Right, So 85 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.240 he could be under control. And when he say under control, 86 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:29.360 we're not talking about not talking about minimum wage, all right, 87 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.639 there's got to be something where he's getting a little 88 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:34.120 bit like o'tany got some money at the age of well, 89 00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:36.439 I think he comes in like a two million I 90 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.480 think would be an over sliding upward scale for that 91 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:41.439 going forward once. 92 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.759 He gets to arbitration, which would be the final two 93 00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:45.600 or three years, I think yes, But I think it's 94 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:47.360 a set amount the first couple of years, which is 95 00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:49.240 about two and a half million dollars. 96 00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:52.560 Right, which you can survive on. Let's just let's just 97 00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:54.959 put that out there. Two and a half million dollars. 98 00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.600 I think you're okay. I think you'll be all right 99 00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:02.399 at two and a half I it's pauper wages compared 100 00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.160 to what some people make, but to the average person 101 00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:07.360 two and a half million, you're gonna be just fine, 102 00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:08.560 of course, you know. 103 00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.399 I mean, I look, there's a lot of there's a 104 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:15.439 lot of positives and envy from other leagues when it 105 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.199 comes to the Players Association in baseball and what they've 106 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:20.839 done over the years, and how empowered baseball players are. 107 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:23.319 They got the best union in all of sports and 108 00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:26.480 probably all of the workplaces, is the Baseball Union. The 109 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:28.680 way those guys get paid and taken care of and 110 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:31.319 lifetime this and lifetime health and all those things and 111 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:32.240 guaranteed money. 112 00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:35.040 They've done a great job. This one. I don't know. 113 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.680 I mean, even with even with the American players that 114 00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:39.319 come up through the minor leagues where they got to 115 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:41.839 wait so long. I mean, think about it when Cody 116 00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:44.879 Bellinger went off for those first couple of years and 117 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.959 couldn't really get paid paid. He had to go to arbitration, 118 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.319 and then it was you know, it took a minute 119 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:52.199 for him to get to get his money, and then 120 00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:55.319 he fell off and really didn't make the gigantic two 121 00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:57.399 hundred three hundred million dollars that he could have made 122 00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:01.079 after the MVP season, you know. So I don't know 123 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:03.120 if that's a great thing, but it is. It makes 124 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:06.439 it very applical for the Dodgers to go after him 125 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:10.079 without really taking any risk because it's not gonna cost 126 00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:12.519 him anything and they can still go out and sign 127 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.639 other guys. So why not if this is the guy 128 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.000 they think is the next Yamamoto and the next up 129 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.800 and coming. Why not go after him, and especially after 130 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:22.639 you win the World Series? Why that's stockpile. 131 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:25.759 Well, here's the thing. So let's say you go after 132 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.680 him right now. And Kevin said, when he's available for arbitration, 133 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.519 things will change. So you have him two years. After 134 00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:34.959 two years, you have a fair sample size. He's twenty five, 135 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:37.439 twenty six years old, and you're thinking, okay, he is 136 00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:40.160 the real deal. At that point, you can just go 137 00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:42.199 in buy him out of arbitration. Let's get this locked 138 00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:44.439 up right now. Yeah, let's just take care of it 139 00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:46.519 right now. Why are we gonna continue like this? You 140 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:50.399 deserve more, We want you longer, So let's just fix. 141 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:51.959 It, which would be smart if he's going in the 142 00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:55.639 right direction, because then you're gonna you're not gonna fall 143 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.199 into the bidding war of a three hundred million dollar guy. 144 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:00.480 You may get him for two, may get him for one, 145 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:02.639 fifty over five years. I mean, you know you're not 146 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.959 gonna have to go and compete with other teams out 147 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:09.800 there if you go to them early and do that right, So, 148 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:10.680 I mean. 149 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:12.879 To me, it's a no brainer. And by the way, 150 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.519 speaking of spending money. That just just hit me because 151 00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:18.000 I saw it the other day. Do you see what 152 00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:21.519 they're doing at Dodger Stadium. Have you seen this? And 153 00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:27.279 maybe you haven't. No, they're redoing the home clubhouse. Oh yes, 154 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:29.399 what am I talking about? What am I talking? What 155 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.639 am I talking about? We just had this, I mean, 156 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:36.040 I just my son, are Jack keep talking about? You know, 157 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.199 he's a clubby? So after the World Series it was over, 158 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:42.720 you think they get a break, but all the people 159 00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:45.240 that work there, especially the clubbies, had to go in 160 00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:48.439 at six am every single morning for the next week 161 00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:51.000 because they had to clear out everything in the clubhouse. 162 00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:53.439 They had to clear everything because they were remodeling the 163 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:55.800 whole thing, the weight room, the clubhouse, the cave, is 164 00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:59.000 everything down there and building a new state of the 165 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.639 arts space down there, which which I thought it was 166 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:04.000 pretty good to begin with, you know what they had, 167 00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:05.040 I thought it was pretty good. 168 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:08.399 But they're doing They're they're totally remodeling it. So yeah, 169 00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:09.000 I did know that. 170 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.800 Yeah, And and Kevin and Ronnie said they're doing the 171 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:17.000 visitors clubhouse as well. Yeah. Yeah. The Visitors Clubhouse wasn't great. No, 172 00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:18.199 it wasn't great. 173 00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:20.120 No, you want to know the worst place to go. 174 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.319 They putting the cage in there for them visitors too. 175 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:24.639 No, No, I know they have to have a weight room. 176 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.480 They're probably upgrade. Dad. Yeah, you want to know the 177 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.240 very worst. And I know the charm and the beauty 178 00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:37.159 and the majesty a Fenway Park, I understand, I get it. 179 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.039 Sure there's something unique and special. 180 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:44.240 What a dump? Those duckhouts are dump? It is to 181 00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:47.559 make shift the makeshift the bullpen. Then they try to 182 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:50.000 do that underneath something like that and just bad. 183 00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:56.120 It was the visiting clubhouse. Bad bad, Yeah, and they 184 00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:59.720 don't care. Well that's the way it goes. You're hearing 185 00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:04.120 the the historical monument and this is what you get. 186 00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:07.440 It's bad. They need to fix that stuff. Not that 187 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:07.720 I think. 188 00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:11.000 Yeah, I wonder if there's a mandate now that you 189 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:14.919 have to do it. And I haven't been to to 190 00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:19.000 to Wrigley or or Finway, the the you know, visitors clubhouse, 191 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:21.080 but I know it's not great. But I know in 192 00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:25.519 the NFL they they they set a standard for the 193 00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:30.000 visitors clubhouse when these new stadiums are built and renovations 194 00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.200 are made. Because we used to go to places like 195 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:36.240 like going to New England, New England at the old 196 00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:39.399 old stadium there was the worst. And everybody will tell 197 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:42.720 you Cleveland was the worst stadium. I mean you you 198 00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:46.039 had to share a locker and it was a shower 199 00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:49.600 that only had three shower heads, you know, so you 200 00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:51.600 had to wait in line to take a shower after 201 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:54.679 the game. It was it was absolutely terrible. But yeah, 202 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:56.720 I think there's standards now where you got it. It 203 00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:57.519 has to be better. 204 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.399 Were you know, in the NFL, they had surveys about 205 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:09.679 teams practice facilities and basically shamed clubs into stop putting 206 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:14.320 players in dumps. I mean in Cincinnati they were shamed, 207 00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:17.480 shamed the organization. They had to rebuild things just for 208 00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:21.919 them to practice in because it was so substandard and 209 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.399 so awful that they conducted a survey. And the players 210 00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:28.799 vote now and they vote on their facilities, and if 211 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:30.240 you're at the bottom of that list, you got to 212 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:32.960 fix it. Now. Think about the owners that are so 213 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:36.559 damned cheap. Hey, you know what we have been in 214 00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:41.159 this former elementary school for the last thirty five years. Granted, 215 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:43.360 the seats are small and the rooms aren't very large, 216 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.679 but that's okay because that's how we do it. Then 217 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:48.399 you turn around and you look at what the rams 218 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:51.039 are built, or even the Chargers now in El Segundo. 219 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:53.480 Think about the Rams though you just mentioned the Rams, 220 00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:55.399 Think about the Rams where they were in Anaheim. 221 00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:58.360 Eric, Eric will tell you about it. They were at 222 00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.159 the elementary school, and the Raiders when they were here, 223 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:04.519 Raiders and Elsa Gundle. We're at an old converted elementary school. 224 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:06.759 It was terrible. 225 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:09.000 Breaking news coming in from Bet three six to five, 226 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.159 where every nail biting, overtime win, breakaway, pick six, three 227 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:17.360 point shot, underdog win, buzzer beater, shoot out, walk off, 228 00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:22.399 and absolutely every play in between is amazing, from football 229 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:26.080 to basketball and hockey to baseball, whatever the moment, it's 230 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:27.039 never ordinary. 231 00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:30.120 At Bet three sixty five gambling. 232 00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:32.399 Problem Call one eight hundred Gambler twenty one plus only 233 00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:34.360 must be physically located in Virginia. 234 00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:40.600 The holidays are all about sharing with family, meals, couches, stories, 235 00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:43.679 Gramma's secret pecan pie recipe, and now you can also 236 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:46.799 share a cart with Instacart's family carts.

Service fees in terms apply terrible. 255 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:42.279 I think the cafeteria was like the weight room, and 256 00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:45.240 it was It was bad. And then look at the 257 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:48.879 way the rams are now and about to be when 258 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:52.519 they moved to Woodland Hills. That is going to be ridiculous. 259 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:55.399 But look at the Chargers we were there. Yeah, look 260 00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:58.799 at that facility. Yeah, you know. The problem was, and 261 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.120 I think people have said it over years, and maybe 262 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:04.000 it speaks to baseball as well. You come out of 263 00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:07.879 a really good Division I school, a college, yep, and 264 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:10.879 they've got top notche facilities because they're recruiting people. Yeah, 265 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:14.000 Alabama or Ohio State, or you come out of Michigan. 266 00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:15.679 You come out of one of those places, and then 267 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.480 you go to an NFL team, like you said, like 268 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:22.840 you mentioned Cincinnati, you go, wow, this is the NFL Jackson. 269 00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:27.799 When I went to Detroit, I mean, USC wasn't I mean, 270 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:30.080 and it will because they're just going to spend another 271 00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:33.279 two hundred million dollars building a whole football facility now. 272 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:37.080 But we had just gotten money from. 273 00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:40.120 The Olympics to rebuild our weight room and locker room 274 00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:42.519 over at USC, So they benefited from the Olympics being 275 00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:45.799 there in eighty four, and so at that time it 276 00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.120 was one of the best before Oregon went crazy, it 277 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:48.679 was one of the. 278 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:49.279 Best in the pack. 279 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:54.519 And then I went to Detroit, and man, thinking I 280 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:59.159 went from USC to this where the weight room you had, 281 00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:02.320 you know, staying on the ceiling and water dripping off 282 00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:04.440 the top. It was like the old Rocky gym back 283 00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:08.480 in the day where Mickey was working, you know, in 284 00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:11.159 a combination locks on the lockers and it was all 285 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:15.799 rusty and crusty and stains on the floor, and it 286 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:19.559 was just it was ridiculous that this was an NFL team. 287 00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:21.200 But there are a lot of people like that, as a 288 00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:22.960 lot of clubs like that. But you're right, you know 289 00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:26.519 there's there's standards now well, and in baseball as well. 290 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:29.919 And the funny thing about the Dodgers, remember that's the 291 00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:32.360 third older stadium in baseball, and trust me, it does 292 00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:35.240 not appear that way too long ago, correct me, It 293 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:38.639 wasn't too long ago that they rebuilt the locker room. Yeah, 294 00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:41.840 that's right, because I remember the old clubhouse and I 295 00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:44.120 knew the new clubhouse. And now this clubhouse is going 296 00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:46.240 to be better than the newest clubhouse. 297 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:48.840 Yeah, it's amazing. Where do they find all the room? 298 00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:51.440 I mean with a not a new stadium, you know, 299 00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:54.480 it's an older stadium, the oldest, one of the third oldest, 300 00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:59.200 right like in an old stadium like that, how did they. 301 00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:03.720 Find the well. When you're spending one hundred million dollars, 302 00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:05.960 you can make the room. You find the room, you 303 00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:09.799 find it. But in the structure, the structure, you you 304 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:12.000 just know how to do it. Who knows, maybe they're 305 00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.639 building a twelve feet underground. I don't know what they're doing. Yeah, 306 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:18.440 But the thing is this years ago, if we're to 307 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:23.159 be really honest, this is long before Guggenheim owned the Dodgers. 308 00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:25.759 It was during the Frank McCort era. And Frank McCourt 309 00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:28.120 didn't have a lot of money, right, he didn't, He 310 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:33.000 wasn't didn't have cash flow, so things were as they were. 311 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:35.840 He put in the dugout club seats that he did 312 00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:39.399 to generate revenue. That was Frank McCourt. But aside from that, 313 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:41.080 if you looked at that stadium, and if you're all 314 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:47.799 to be completely honest, it was falling apart. It wasn't great. Now. 315 00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:50.000 I know you grew up going there and I understand 316 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.320 the significance of it, And even in eighty eight with 317 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:54.120 the home run and the Dodgers went in the World 318 00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:56.159 Series in the early eighties, I got all of that. 319 00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:02.600 Let's speak completely honest. That place was in disarray. It 320 00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:05.799 was bad and if you say anything else, you're not 321 00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:11.519 being honest. So just accept that. Now. When Gugenheim came in, 322 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:14.000 there was a train of thought where, you know what, 323 00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:17.279 they might build a new Dodger Stadium because this thing 324 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:21.000 has seen better days. There was that train of thought initially, 325 00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:24.200 and stankast and said, not only are we not building 326 00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:28.120 a new Dodger Stadium, because this location is absolutely beautiful. 327 00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:32.519 We're going to fix this Dodger Stadium up. And now 328 00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:34.840 when you walk in there, and yes it is not 329 00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:40.000 brand spanking new, it's not, but you go in there 330 00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:43.240 that now, I think is one of the nicest stadiums 331 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:46.240 again in Major League Baseball. Do you how much money 332 00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:48.919 the Dodgers have poured into that? And if we had 333 00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:52.159 stan On he would probably tell us, But I'm thinking 334 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:54.960 since Guggenheim has owned the team, I'm thinking it's at 335 00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:58.759 least five hundred million dollars. Yeah, improving Dodger Stadium, I agree, 336 00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:00.679 And again, you know it is what it is. You 337 00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:02.679 can only do so much with an older stadium and 338 00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:06.400 older facility. You know, it's not gonna be like if 339 00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:09.160 you've ever been to the New Yankee Stadium or even 340 00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:14.200 been to City Field. Certain places like that that are 341 00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:16.839 now state of the art with the new facilities and 342 00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:20.359 new flooring and everything is you know, updated and all 343 00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:23.759 that kind of You can't update everything at Dodger Stadium, 344 00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:25.720 it kind of is what it is. But certain places 345 00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:28.200 like you, like you mentioned the dugout club, the suites, 346 00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:31.000 you can you can do different things and improve the 347 00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:32.160 seating areas. 348 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:36.000 They gave it a front door, they gave it an entrance, 349 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:38.039 they gave it an interest. Do you think that they 350 00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:42.960 would ever consider or did they consider? Breaking news coming 351 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:45.599 in from Bet three sixty five, where every nail biting, 352 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:49.960 overtime win, breakaway, pick six, three point shot, underdog win, 353 00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:54.960 buzzer beater, shoot out, walk off, and absolutely every play in. 354 00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:57.440 Between is amazing. 355 00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:00.880 From football to basketball and hockey to baseball.

So when McCord owned 387 00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:38.319 the Dodgers, there were two things he desperately needed, neither 388 00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:42.440 of which he got. Number one, he needed to have 389 00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:46.119 access to the new TV deal because the TV revenue 390 00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:48.680 would have saved them, but he ran out of time 391 00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.160 and had to sell before the TV deal came due. 392 00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:55.559 Okay, so that got them. The other thing he desperately 393 00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:56.440 wanted to. 394 00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:01.160 I wonder, what's stall that TV deal? The other one 395 00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:05.119 wasn't up yet. Oh, the other one wasn't up yet. Yeah, 396 00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:07.920 the other one wasn't up. It's like he ran out 397 00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:10.839 of there and it wasn't getting renewed. No, you know, 398 00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:14.000 like sometimes it gets renewed a little a year earlier. No, no, no, 399 00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:15.759 talk about it. This was not getting renewed. 400 00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:19.559 And the other thing he desperately wanted to do. And 401 00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:25.599
