We don't want any other custom just Santa. Well, okay, you could be an elf? Oh what else? Could you be? Snowman? All right, so let's yeah, you can be what you want. Last week I'm in Palm Springs and I was the Grand Marshal of the Palm Springs Festival of Lights Parade, which, by the
way, it's pretty big deal out there. So the night before they have the tree lighting ceremony, I have to be at that, and here comes Santa and Missus Claws. They're coming on this huge sleigh and whatever. Santa looks like. This guy looks like Santa Claus and his wife looks like Missus Claws. Yeah, they come in and I'm talking to him, and the guy says, you want my card? I said, well, sure, give me your card. That's what he does for a loving look. Came
up to you and ask you, yeah you want Yeah. He lives in Redondo Beach, So Santa Claus lives in Redondo Beach. If anybody has any questions, I know where he's at and I can call him. But if he shows up at the remote, we have to pay him. We're not doing that. Oh it was a gig for him. It was a gig. Yeah, oh yeah, he does it every year. Guy looked like Santa Claus. It's pretty interesting. But then when he gives it your his card, you kind of think to yourself, it removed a little of a
luster. You know. Yeah, if he's asking for money, you know, he's like, you didn't ask him that you wanted to hire him or anything like that. He said, pose his business on you. Yeah, that'd be one thing. If you you reached down to hill Man you're great. Let me get your card so I can possibly hire you. That's one thing. But for him to solicit you that way, it's just yeah, it's no thanks, all right. So if you show up, don't give us your card. If you dressed a Santa Claus or a snowman or the
Elf or whatever, you can want to be paid. So we're not doing that. But if you show up, maybe I'll buy you lunch if you show up. Now, you put it out there, okay, But here's the thing. So if you come down and let's say three people are dressed like Santa or Missus Claws or an elf or a snowman, you guys can share a salad. I'll do that for you. You can share a salad. That's fair. Wells is buying your partners all together, not one and not one on one on one at a time, just all all three of
them will share a salad right with you? Or no, you're just gonna send them in. No, you're not showing up either, you're just gonna send them somewhere. Well, no, I'll buy him a salad. There the salad bar. Yeah, but no, they don't have a salad bar. I'll just buy a house seal. I don't know anything crazy. You're not getting a wedge, You're not getting a caesar. You guys get to split a house salad. Well, Uncle Fredz been hanging out with Uncle Arty.

And it's driven by the Ford F Series, America's best selling truck for forty six years in counting. Head to your Southern California Ford dealers for great offers out a Ford F Series truck wunitos. We are stronger I don't like your way of saying, if you don't sign up, you don't win. Well, no, you can't win, but this gives you a better chance. It's a
better chance to win if you sign up. Is that code? No? You know what, that's a good point. That's a very good point. I don't think we've ever explored that. So here's what you do if you sign up, If you sign up and we confirm you signed up when you get there, we'll give you two tickets to win, so you have a better chance, right, instead of one ticket to win. That's trying two. You know how we do it? Yeah, okay, So if you sign up, we'll give it. Kevin, Is is that wrong? Kevin?
Did I just do something wrong? With all kinds? Did you see his eyes? My god? What happened? What did I do wrong? It's not how that works. You can't just give people to tickets, right, it's an actual rapper. There's rules to it. Ry. Well, I'm trying to give incentive to sign up. I thought that's what we were supposed to do. No, if that's what you were supposed to do, we would have told you that's what you were supposed to do. We to explicitly say if you sign up, you get two raffle tickets. Yeah.
Maybe I shouldn't have suggested anything or anything, because you took it and went to a little bit too far. Fred. You just went and said let's do this instead of having a discussion about it. Now, look at your face. Well, I don't you're looking bewildered. I am bewildered because I thought we should give them an incentive. No. I was posing the question that that does it really matter if you sign up? Or is that just you know, do you really have a better chance? And you took it
to well, yeah, let's give you two tickets. Okay, Kevin, we're not doing that. No, we are not. Okay, but there is an incentive to sign up. Something good will happen for you. If you sign up. You can still show up. We'd love to see you. But if you sign up, good things will happen. Let's just put it like that, all right. I don't think Kevin's laughing. I don't
like whiners. I don't like that. I don't like small market professional sports franchises say we can't compete with the big guys because they make more money. What do you expect us to do. We're in Kansas City, We're in Cincinnati, we're in Pittsburgh. How do you expect us to compete with teams in Los Angeles soon, New York or Chicago. Stop whining? You know what, if you're in it, you're in it to win it, and
if you don't have the money to win it, then get out. Really that's how I look at it, and it might seem a little harsh, but I've always believed that you're doing an injustice and a disservice to your fans. If you buy something you can't afford it, Well, hell I can't afford to build a stadium. Then to get out, get out. You're not doing anybody any favors. Well, you know what do you expect I expect you to be able to afford it? Quite frankly, because you're in.
You're in, and you should be in to win. Get out. Just get out. And what you're saying, yeah, get out, sell your team, sell it. I know everybody can't live in LA and they don't have Balmer and Kranky. I know that I get it, But you know what, that's your problem, that's your problem wherever you live. Well, we just can't compete, well, then get out, bring somebody in that can't compete. Do your fans a favor, treat them properly. And
same thing applies to college sports. Well, you know you have the power five schools, the big schools. You've got a usc You've got a Texas, A and M. You've got a Clemson, you've got a Georgia, you got Alabama, you've got Michigan. You've had all these schools with a lot of money. And then you get the schools that don't have a lot of money. So what happens? They complained, Well, this isn't fair.
It's like the Michigan scandal that got Jim Harbaugh when they sent a guy around the country to look at the signals of the opposing team the week before they played them. All right, here's why that went south. It was months before they played them, by the way, But go on, all right, here's why that went south. It went south not because you think, oh, that's not fair. It went south because everybody didn't have the money to do it. That's where the complaining started. It didn't go south.
He missed gags because of it. Right, Well, they settled in court. I understand, and they should have never done anything to him. It was ridiculous. It all came down to they have more money so they can send this guy all over the place, and we don't have any money, and it's unfair. I don't think that's true at all. I think it is true. That has to do with it. I think it was other big programs that were complaining about it because they're wine. Ball State didn't
say anything about it. Well, Ball State, Ball, that's the one you're saying. People, people won't have money. You complaining that. People in the same conference that complained about it. You know why, because they can't win. That's not why it is. They can't afford it. They can't afford think of it, they can't AFFI can't afford it. They're whining. Stop whining, and you know it. No, it's not. I really believe that. Stop whining. Nobody wants to hear it. If you
can figure it out, figure it out. If you can't, then shut up and stop whining because nobody wants to hear you whine. So now they're thinking about nil. And of course the big schools really have an advantage Chip Kelly, Martin Jarmond. They had a conversation Chip, we better figure this out. We gotta we gotta do a little better with ni L here. Okay, Well, if you have the money and you have the donors and you have the boosters, and you're good, and if you don't, then
you'll whind some more. And we don't have any money and we don't have the boosters, and nobody's gonna come to our school, probably right, that's probably fair. So, uh, this is what they're thinking about. The president of the NCAA is planning to introduce a proposal to create a new subdivision within Division one that grants certain schools more autonomy around policymaking and permits them to
compensate athletes in a new and profound way. According to the proposal, schools that choose to be part of the new subdivision, they can opt in or out, are required to meet a strict minimum standard rooted in athlete investment. Members of the new subdivision will be permitted to strike name, image and likeness deals with their own athletes, a significant move away from the current NIL structure. So I take that to mean, for example, a school like USC,
they don't have to have a third party involved. Here, the school can strike these deals. Entry in to the subdivision requires a school to invest a minimum thirty thousand dollars per year per athlete into what is termed an Enhanced Educational Trust Fund, or at least half of the school'sccountable athletes. There you go, that's confusing right there, because it doesn't say all of the athletes, you know, you set aside thirty grand. It's a select number of
athletes. It says at least half. Yeah, they can choose up to how many beyond that? It is very nebulous. Yes, So what happens to that, you know, half that doesn't get chosen to be part of that thirty grand that's set aside, Well, what happens to them? They also said that it has to fall in line with Title nine, so women athletes have to be roped into this. You can't just say it's all revenue sports, just men's basketball and football players. You have to incorporate women within
it as well, right, And that's fair. Absolutely, I get that, Yeah, absolutely you should. So what happens to some kids, Well, you know what, don't be the long snapper on the punt team and then maybe you'll get your thirty grand you know, they're going to make a decision. They're going to pay the people they want to pay, that they want to hold on to, and you know, the people on the periphery. That's life. You all it's unfair. No, that's life, and
life isn't fair. What do you think of schools just paying up now, right, instead of going to a third party. I kind of like the third party, to be honest with you, because it takes the uh, it takes the school out of it. It takes to any kind of wrongdoings I guess, or sneaky or underhanded or undermining or illegal activities away from the school, and now the outside collective can be investigated, can be vetted, and it falls on them to be under the compliance rules. So I kind
of like it having the third party being able to do it. Yeah. But what this is is the strong get stronger, right, That's what it is. The rich get richer. We've got the money, we can do it. We can guarantee that you know you're going to make this money. Yeah, so we'll take care of it. The rich get richer. Yeah. And what is it? What is it like we're seeing right now? I mean, it is free agency basically what it is for college college kids.
Yeah, it's crazy what we're seeing these kids, these quarterbacks right now that are at university, big time universities that have started that are now transferring out and going to a different school. It's just it's it's a really weird time right now that they that part of it, the transfer portal part of it really needs to be addressed. For the allow kid to transfer multiple times
in a in a two to three year span is just absurd. So if it get enters the portal, can the school that's about to lose them come back to them and say, hey, look, we understand your frustration, you know, but these guys are going to hook you up. You've got a carra house collectives go hook you. They're gonna hook you up. Yeah, that happens. Now. Just because you enter into the portal doesn't mean you leave and you're going. So a lot of guys do into the portal
and end up stay and to get enticed to come back. That has happened the last couple of years. So it's basically, you know, pay me more, I'll be gone. It can be yeah, absolutely, yeah, I mean, if you if this system is set up that way. Well, you can't blame the kids for taking advantage of it, right, you can't take the kids say look, I hey, I was at I was at a basketball game the other night, and I saw somebody from from Texas who said that there might be something there for me, you know, in
terms of dollars and cents. I got to entertain that, and so I'm going to Texas. They're gonna give me double with my current school is willing to get me. Yeah. I'm just wondering how much more money would you have made now if you were playing than you did make when you played at USC easy easy leading the witness, Yes, very much so, Harvey. I'm gonna call Harvey Specter from students to come get you, right. I'm
just thinking, just you know, hit me. One other thing too, to point out about this proposal from Charlie Baker, the president of the NCAA. These are schools that enter into this agreement or this subdivision would also be able to hire almost an unlimited amount of coaches and have more scholarships. More on the rich getting richer, yep. Rich. As long as they're willing to pay for it, they can do it. It's on them basically yes, and the schools have the money to pay. Yeah, all right,
spirituality that's coming up. Oh yeah, come on a lot of missiletope, snowy nights, baby everywhere we go. Let's go, Rodney, p Fred Rogan on a hop day. Yes, how beautiful it is outside right now? Goodness, Rodney. The twenty twenty three MLS Cup presented by Outing is this Saturday, December ninth, the Columbus Crew going head to head against your defending ML's Cup champs LAFC for the ultimate prize. To tune into the action live on TV, watch free on Apple TV with MLS Season Pass. It
starts at one pm Saturday. All right, and that's big. While going back to back to the title game, mm hmm, tell you they've done it right. LAFC has done it right from the very beginning. It was a slow growth and slow grind upwards and they made it to the mountaintop. Man. They've just been going into right direction since they've they've come onto the scene and like you said, did everything right on the field and off the
pitch. Yeah, they really knew how to build a franchise. Also, quick shout out to the Kings last night They're down three nothing in Columbus, right, they were unbeaten on the road. They come back to score three goals in the third period to tie the game, and then Drew Dowdy scored in overtime and the Kings won four to three, undefeated, eleven to zero on the road. That ties an NHL record. They're good. They're really
really good this year. I mean, falling behind three nothing, coming back and hockey fan down three nothing, that's like being down thirty one and nothing in football. I was thinking the same thing last night when I was watching. Yeah, I mean, you're down three to nothing in the third period. You might be wondering what time does the plane leave? Exactly? Chuck this one up. Yeah, but they came back and won. That Old man cam talb be bawling out there, Frett, you think about that.
I can't believe that. I cannot believe it. Off Alaska, he's thirty six Ridney. Yeah, and but one of the best goaltenders in the entire in the Western Conference, maybe the entire NHL this year so far. Frett, Am I overstepping by saying that? I don't think so? And you know what's interesting about that? So the way Vegas won it. They did not have a lot of money invested in their goalies last year, right Aiden
Hill, a guy they called up. All of a sudden, he turns out to be a stud and they don't have to pay him a lot of money. So when the Kings looked at the method or the methodology of how things are being built, they said, all right, our investment will go for offense. We are going to score a ton of goals, and we need guys that can play goal. Cam Talbot was signed late, very late.
He was just floating around, needed a job and they had Phoenix Copley who was on the show with this last year Rodney, but they needed a guy who they thought would be a bona fide number one. Talbot has had success in the NHL, but he's never been a world beater, but he's been fundamentally sound. They bring him in here and all of a sudden he
catches fire. So the feeling works that maybe we don't need to invest five or six million dollars a year in a goalie, because you know, goalies, I've always maintained this, or like relief pitchers, they absolutely are hot and cold. They're hot and then they get cold, and if you want to invent and I mean, obviously in the history of the league there have been very good goalies, but overall, I mean, you know, one day, whatever this guy was doing is gone, And why wouldn't it be.
You're standing there and somebody's shooting something to atch it at a hundred minds an hour, you can't even see it half the time, and your only goal is to stand there and get hit with it. Just hit me and then it doesn't go in, So that messes with your mind a little bit. How much is that puck hurt when to hit you at one hundred miles an hour? Yeah, ask guys with the padd I know those guys back in the day with no teeth, no mouth guard, no shield or anything.
But vidio goalie. Does the padding do anything? Oh yeah, I'm sure it helps, but I'd be taking them off the chest, That's what I'd be doing. Well, you want to get them with that enough padding? You want to get him with a blocker, with your big blocker pad and then I want to, Yeah, you want to, but you got to you gotta spread out. Sometimes you get it with the chess. I look at it like almost like a playing a hot corner in baseball third base, just knock it down. Oh if you hit it, If you knock
it down, you got time to get him out at first. You know, I played that in college, and we play infield in you know, you runner a second, third, you gotta go, you gotta come up on the grass. And playing with those aluminum bats in college. I mean we're talking guys that you know, two years they're in they're in Made League
Baseball, they're in the big leagues. That's how the talented the pack was when I played, mean talking about guys like Barry Bonds and you know, uh, Mike mcina and and the big unit Mark McGuire, guys coming up. You know, it took him. You know, they played college, so it was very competitive. It took them one two years and then they were in the big leagues. Those guys coming up to bat, Mark McGuire
coming up the bat, and you got to play on the grass. You got to play in there on the grass, and you got to aluminum bat. Oh man, thinking that bad boy, you taking it off the tib almost had to wear a test protector sometimes giving out The way our pitching was when I was there, you know what. They had to bandose aluminum bats and ban them in college for sure, for sure. But the problem is the wooden bats will cost them too much, right, that's true, to
break them and then have to have more bad or run through him. Yep, Yeah, the cost is not gonna be good for it's not enough money generated from baseball in college that you can't afford it. Right, all right, let's bring on Vic. Let's have some spirituality. So here he comes with the Daily High coup a too. We welcome on Victor Brick and Vic. Good afternoon. He was in the running for Time Magazines twenty twenty three Person of the Year, but edged out by Taylor Swift. It's Fred Rogan,
Hello, Vic, He's mister Trojan twenty twenty three. Yeah, hey, yeah, may tb a la Taylor. He transcends borders and our constant source of light. Okay, everything now come on, nah and he moves us total slow ste us total snow chest with his holiday hits a virtual horn ucopia. Ronnie Fossio, time has come today with King Flavor. Ye young hearts can go their way and fellows, let's face it, taking over Nashville
and the baseball Winter Meetings was Dave Roberts. And by the way, congratulations to David Vase on the Sensational Show from Brad Paisley's Farm last night with Dave Roberts and Art Chris Archer, the newest member of the Dodger Front Office Sensational Show. You know what Vassie told us, We asked him how the farm was. He goes, what happens there is nobody's business. I can't talk about it one hundred acres outside of Nashville. But fellas Dave Roberts, honesty
is exactly what Otani seeks. Mhm okay. A lot of people freaked out on you know, Dave stating, you know the obvious, But he is a sensey with wavos. That's what Ol'tiny Sohn wants. Viva, Dave Roberts, fearless. How do you know that, vic, How do you know he's a sense with waves? How do you know that's what he wants. He doesn't say anything because based on the reporting, that's exactly what he didn't want, was someone talking on the record about a meeting. Oltonis I never
said anything about an embargo. That's the his agency talking. If indeed the agency did ever lay down this audio embargo. That's all hearsay. Nothing is concrete that there was this insane embargo. C AA never said in black and white. There will be consequence if someone talked talks about the OLTONI Son negotiations. If there's a leak, there will be penalties. I don't know where that came from. Came from Jeff Passon, who allied to think I trust
is sourcing on stuff, but he could be wrong. I guess all I know is Dave Roberts was right in speaking the truth. Yes, we spoke to him. Yeah, the two or three hour meeting. It was beautiful spending time with him. That's what old Son wants, the truth, doesn't want smoke screens. I mean, listen, FREDI pointed out earlier. He's gonna get the Denaro. The money's there no matter who pays him. But it's the interactions with the team I believe is a very very important factor and
still in it. Of course, Dodgers have the inside track, and I think Dave sealed it. I think Dave Roberts sealed it. He he is the conquering hero of Nashville, Tennessee. Wow, conckering hero absolutely all the qualities, the warrior qualities that Otani Son wants Dave Roberts has. What are you talking about? Well, what is it you're talking about? What are you saying? Dave Roberts from speaking the truth? You know, I know you're making this up. You don't know this for I know the mindset a
little bit of of Otani. I mean, it's it's been a mystery. But you know I constantly call my sources in Japan. Tell us one of your sources. I can't reveal my sources, Fred. Bottom line is Otani Son big. What's the area code to Japan? If I want to call Japan? What do I die? Well, he was start with the operator No, Vick you no, you would not make you don't call anyone in Japan. It's the country code. Is that what you want to know? That's what I want to know. What's a country code of Japan? Well
we text wet. The bottom line is Fred, Dave Roberts is a hero and Dave Roberts should be lauded for his honesty. And I think that's it's my opinion. It's only my opinion. It struck a chord with a in a positive way. And you know this could determine how you know this. Vic, that's the that's what's where we're trying to You have a bit of a disconnect here. It's a feel that you know it. It's a gut instinct of Otoni. Absolutely, he had an excellent meeting with the Dodgers.
This is not a secret. I mean he had meetings with Toronto. Oh no, Viva, Dave Roberts. I think Ronni had a feeling of an itch on his finger, right, That's what I was. Sorry, Vick. All right, Mick will continue taking his insight on. Vick was sending a mind of Otani and spirituality. Yes, it is the marshmallow world. Come on, ah, let's go on a hop. Dave Rodney, p Fred Rogan beautiful. Sorry about that, Vic, you know what happened. But he had an itchy trigger finger. Okay, Vic, did you wrap
up your understanding of Otani's mind. Dave Roberts with the giant Cojones, the sense and whatever else you said. I'm impressed that Dave Roberts was honest and candid, and I truly believe that Otani Sohn appreciates that Dave was open and as Dave said, well, Dave said, he didn't say much. Well, Dave said he was he felt like he was smiling inside. That was Dave's gut instinct. No one knows what that means, Vic smiling it was. There were some great vibes in that two to three hour meeting, Vick.
What am I doing inside right now? I think his exact quote, Vic was he had a nice poker face. Now how you interpreted that to be like he was smiling inside? I don't know. Yeah, that's yeah, Vic. How does my inside feel right now? I'll tell you, But how does my inside feel? Since you can figure that out, how do you think I feeling pretty? I think you're feeling good. You're looking forward to Hollywood Parkersino this Monday, So that's not right, Vic. I
feel bloated. I'm bloated, vict inside right now? What did you eat? I don't want to go into it, but I'm never eating there again? Oh money? Whoa Ron? Fred? You're the one that said you were bloated? Wow? What are we doing? Fred's starting early on the matzas. Make you ever play hide the Matza? No? Okay, I ate a lot of Matza Bride back in the day, But no, but not a lot of tastes to the Matza vic. You can do a lot
of stuff with Matsa. Yeah. But again, I just want to I want to pivot back to, you know, to to Dave robertson Otoni some because it's really has been so blown up out of proportion. It's almost it's it's almost ludicrous at this point. But I feel so good about what the Dodgers did in Nashville. They got a lot lot of clarity, especially on the Otani front. Now the Yamamoto fronts that is that is that is nebulous. Uh. I know mets New York, mets on A Steve Cone flew
to Japan about a week ago to Schmoozemamoto son. I think he's a little late to the party for him. I think CON's a little late victory, a little you never know. At this point, it's it's everything is is a flip of a coin. But the Yamamoto stock obviously is rising up to a close to three hundred million dollars. Dodgers still in the Almamoto sweepstakes, has no doubt about that. You like, you guys like to trade Verdugo from the Red Sox of the Yankees to form a Dodger Sure, why not?
Yeah, as apparently he and Korra had some some issues during the season, so it was, uh, it was a tough situation for Verdugo in so the Yankees basically cleaned up the mess of Dugo and Boston. So the Yankees actually did the Red Sox are favorite taking for do go. You guys watch Dancing with the Stars. Who's on it? It's over? Okay? Good. Mirrorball Trophy went to seventeen year old out of La Sochi Gomez and val So Yeah. So Chi Gomez was tremendous and Valet Jibikowski. Yes,
in the thirty second season. What forgive me? Maybe I'm sound older out of touch here, but what qualified Soci Gomez to be a star? What is her background? Their question? She better not be Selena Gomez's cousin or something either, because that's usually what these things turned into. Who is she? She's only seventeen, she's the Marvel of the Marvel movie. But a lot of these media people that want Tom to Marvel this recent Marvel movie and
the Marvel franchise. Yeah, what what character was she? Was she in the Miss Marvel movie? I'm not sure. I just I've become a big fan of her, of her acknowledge they were in the Marvel movie, based on the way it was performed, Did anybody acknowledge it? Not really? I mean she just said, you know, when you go on the dance floor, you're basically naked. She was naked. She wasn't. Are you naked to the process? Right? It's it's tough, you mean naked to
the PROCESSI of the of the ballroom dancing. Some some come on there or like they've been skilled in dancing. Some of them will have a little cheater background. They got the insight. My man, my man, Mario Lopez. You know he's a dancer by trade. He studied dance. Yeah, he can dance a little bit. He got a little salt because he lost to MTT Smith that year. Me off too, Yeah, and it was a sentimental favorite. But Mario had dance backgrounds. That's why he was a
little pista. It's like, I can do all these dances better than anybody. No, the NFL players have great success on Dancing with the Stars. Yeah, fand favorites, which leads us to what Vic not yet? Not yet? I want to get that I want to get that with Brenda Lee Ronnie hit me. Okay, Yes, oldest ever to have a number one song rocking around the Christmas is now number one, sixty five years after its original release. So congratulations Brenda Lee, y'all pretty amazing, No, absolutely
amazing, victim. She released the song when she was thirteen years old and now it's back number one on the Babe. She's singing this now as she was thirteen when she sang this sixty five years later, she's singing it right now. Or they was re released. This is Brenda Lee. Yeah, she's currently seventy eight when she was thirteen now singing this song. This is a thirteen year old singing, Is that what you're saying? Or she didn't now this could be the re release do we even know? No, it
rose to number one. Well, she's currently seventy eight years old, so based on my terrible years ago, based on my terrible math was sixty five. That would put her at thirteen. Although this is many times I've heard this song, I never would have guessed that this was a thirteen year old singing. To be honest and vic, this is not a re release. This is the original recording.
