we always hold up a sign atthe beginning. Do not look at us
directly in the eyes. That's justsomething. It's a thing we have.
You think, Man, I don'tdo that. I don't do that.
Do not look Oh, I usuallywear those dark glasses, right, were
those dark glasses, Kevin? Justtalk to me about that in the past.
It's just not the best look.You don't look very engaged, fred
(03:05):
No, no, Freddy. Butyou know you want to connect with you.
They want to see your soul,you know, they want to be
your soul, Freddy. The glasses, it's just, you know, it
takes away the intimacy. It's alsonot very nice of you to be cornered
off in the corner people come upand say, hey, can I talk
to Fred? And I was like, first of all, that's mister Rogan,
and no you can't. You willrelay the message to me, and
(03:30):
if I deem it worthy enough,I will tell Fred, Yes, you
want to talk to me, talkto Freido. Didn't talk to me.
Freido will talk to me. Sobe there. Be there at Hollywood Park.
Be there Monday early. The showstarts at Oh. Mayor Butts is
now confirmed, excellent. Mayor Buttsis confirmed. He'll be on at one
(03:51):
o'clock. Yeah, yeah, andthen we can talk about his great Economic
Summit that he had a couple ofweeks ago. Yeah, go ahead,
but tell you what, I'll justsay this. On that stage, there
was a lot of money, alot of money on that stage that day.
Wow, at the economic summit.Okay, a lot of money on
(04:14):
that stage. Okay, So MayorButts will be on. You know when
you said people, you know,I'm goofing around. You can't look us
directly in the eye and the glasses. So I'm doing curling in Vancouver for
NBC and we were working out ofthe venue. We were not in Stanford,
Connecticut, and I don't know becauseof the way the camera was positioned,
(04:38):
it kind of looked like that Iwas just looking a little off camera.
We tried to fix it, butwe couldn't because it was built inside
the crowd of the venue. Andpeople on social media were saying, please,
dear God stop, it looks likeyou're staring directly into my soul.
Wow, Like, well, whatdo you want me to do about it?
(04:58):
You're staring directly into my soul?All right? So the Olympics in
Paris gets started here pretty soon,and I think if you listen, you
know that I've been to a lotof Olympic Games and there's one thing that
they all have in common. Onething. Well there's more than one,
(05:21):
but one of the things is first, at the end of the game,
at the end of the day,the country that holds the Olympics always thinks
it was terrible, terrible. Thecountry that holds it, yeah, because
they're over budget, so they gotto make up the difference. Things don't
go exactly as they thought, andthen oftentimes the venues and things like that
are not maintained afterwards, so everythingkind of falls apart. It's not a
(05:46):
great thing. It's a great thingto go in. It's a great thing
for tourism, it's a great thingfor national pride, and then when it's
over, it's like, oh god, awful. So that's one thing that
really happens now that will not happenin LA because again, the venues exist.
In a lot of countries, theyhave to build the venues right right,
(06:06):
Okay, In LA, the venuesexist, and for example, the
media village exists, and the athletesvillage exists. That'll be at UCLA.
So a lot of the stuff's alreadyin place. It doesn't cost as much.
But LA is over now too,but they'll figure that out, all
right. Another thing you always hearbecause it's how the news cycle works.
(06:30):
For example, the river there thatthey were going to have the canoeing in
stuff like poop, right, thatwas okay. You will hear every possible
problem reported on before the games.It doesn't matter what it is. There
will be protests, yes, therewill be. There will be people protesting
(06:54):
that they didn't want to have thegames there. Yes, that will happen.
Do you want to know why?Because it happens every time. It
happens every single time. There willbe transportation problems. You will have reports
on that. I don't know why. It happens every time, every single
(07:14):
time. It doesn't matter where yougo. Basically, the stories are the
same because once this thing really getsclose as it is, and you send
the news people over there to startreporting, they've got to report on something.
They've got to tell stories. That'swhy they're there and that's why they're
(07:36):
paid. So I don't even knowwhat the stories will be coming out of
Paris, but there will be protests, there will be problems with transportation,
some of the venues may not functionas they hoped. Yes, you will
hear that. And the funny thingis the way NBC does the games,
because I sent in enough seminars.When you are doing the games for NBC
(07:58):
Sports, whatever the problems are,they don't exist. We don't report those.
If there is a major overriding story, Bob Costas, then Mike Turrico
now will handle it. In primetime. They will tell that story. Now
NBC News is there and the TodayShow, and if something goes south,
(08:18):
NBC News will be all over it. But the goal when televising the Olympics
and the image you have in thiscountry and the way that you acquire the
rights from the IOC. In thebidding process, you are creating picture postcards
of each country. NBC spends millionsof dollars capturing images from the most picturesque
(08:43):
places in every country so they cantell stories about the history of the country.
So they can create this basically,will put together travelog which will always
all way, He's be beautiful.That's what you do when you have the
Olympics. Those are the scenes youwill see. You know, if Paris
(09:07):
has a lot of homeless people,I assure you that's not going to be
a bumper coming back into beach volleyball. You think happen, then I here,
beach volleyball is gonna be right outsideof the Eiffel Tower. Is that
where it's going to be. I'llsee if I can find it. There's
a video of it. It looksspectacular. Oh my god, I saw
that. I was like that thatis going to be amazing, because even
(09:31):
you know, beach volleyball at theOlympics has turned in something that is incredible,
that gets large crowds and it's beenone of the fan favorites to go
dot over the last few Olympics.Oh and I heard that it's going to
be right at the backdrop is goingto be the Eiffel Tower and Kevin,
Yeah, when you get that,send it to me because that will be
a made That would be something thatI would love if I was going to
(09:52):
the Olympics to go see in Paristhe beach volleyball at the Eiffel Tower.
There you go, picture postcards,right, Yeah, everything is strategized,
everything is choreographed, everything to showthe cities off in their best light.
And there is a group of people, the International Broadcasting Company or Olympic Broadcasting
(10:18):
Company OBC, and what they dois NBC contracts with them. NBC can
send supplemental cameras over but the majorityof coverage comes from a universal Olympic Broadcasting
company. So if you're watching inJapan or Kenya, or Canada or Munich,
(10:43):
the shots are all the same.Shots are all the same. Yeah,
the Olympic Broadcasting Company is providing thosefeeds. You have the opportunity to
supplement those feeds. You can spendmore money and then put your own cameras
in there. So, for example, in the United States, gymnastics,
(11:07):
beach volleyball, swimming, diving,track and field all have NBC supplemental cameras.
So if there was a sport inJapan that was very big, the
Japanese broadcasting company would probably supplement itwith one of their own cameras, but
the feed so they get the extrashot as opposed to it just being the
(11:30):
feed that everybody gets. Correct,you can get something special like maybe having
an extra camera too that just focuseson the bench or the players, or
it was something you know that's justlike something that everybody doesn't just get what
you're saying. Yeah, So forexample, in gymnastics, what is it
called the kiss and cry area afterthey finish the kissing cry area, I
(11:54):
think that's what it's called, ormaybe that's in skating. I don't know
what skating was, kissing cry came. But in gymnastics you will see shots
of the Americans that will not beseen around the world because NBC has paid
for additional camera placement so they cansimply focus on the Americans, and they
(12:16):
do that in all of the primetime events. So if you're watching on
cable, for example, or PeacockThis Go Round, you will get the
world feed. You will probably nothave those supplemental shots. You'll just see
what the world sees. You'll seeaction, but the supplemental cameras and there's
Summitt Beach volleyball too, they allowyou to tell stories, which in the
(12:39):
United States is critical for the primetimeaudience because you are going to see these
people. Now you know some ownedBiles, Okay, we know her,
but the majority of these people you'venever seen before. You don't know who
they are. You don't know whythey're there, You have no idea where
they're from. And what we tryto do in the United States is tell
(13:01):
stories. And when you tell stories, people gravitate toward those individuals. Oh,
I want to root for them.Now I know their story. That's
why they have the supplemental cameras,That's why they have athlete profiles, so
you become invested in their story.The worst thing that ever happens to NBC
(13:24):
coverage of the Olympics, and wehad it in boxing all the time,
all the time. The Americans getknocked out. Now you're screwed. Now
what happens? What happens? Yeah, if you plan for them to go
all the way to the finals andbe at the end, right right,
you keep Now you lose what fivedays of programming that you planned on.
(13:48):
No, you keep going, youkeep going, but you have no stories.
Now you're trying to create a storyabout a guy from Cuba. You
have the research manual, he doesn'tspeak English, and you've got to quickly
pivot. You've got to start tellingstories about people from around the world.
But while we found is the Americanaudience doesn't really care. They just don't
(14:11):
care. If the Americans are out, you're in trouble. Yeah, right,
because there's a bunch of people you'venever heard of in the first place.
Right, So we've taken the timeto introduce you to each and every
one of these people. And someof those yeah, well, sorry to
cut you off, but some ofthose like people might haven't even be interested
in that particular event, but whenthey see an American involved, it's like,
(14:35):
oh, let me watch, letme sit in, let me get
invested in this. Americans involved inthis Olympic sport. Right, And that's
why, all of a sudden,if you don't follow Greco Roman wrestling,
But as that discipline continues and thestory becomes there's an American with a chance
to meddle, you're gonna watch.You're now interested in that fencing, fencing,
(14:56):
an American can win fencing. I'mgonna watch table tennis. I'm gonna
watch How did curling get so big? Fred? How did curling get to
the point where, I mean,what was the transition into making curling one
of those events that for I guess, for a while it was nobody watching
(15:20):
curling, nobody wants, nobody caresabout curling. It's just a crazy sport.
And then I don't even remember howit happened, but if it's some
reason, at some point it becameit became a must watch. The curling
became a must watch event to theto the people that would never otherwise be
interested in any kind of curling,or any kind of for that matter,
(15:43):
any kind of winter sport, butthey got interested in curing. I know
people that like, I can't waitfor the curling competition. Curling starts at
nine to night. I'm getting readyfor that? Are you getting ready?
You're gonna watch that curling? Like? What in the world? How did
curling get so big? A coupleof ways. The first one, NBC
got the Olympic package and the WinterGames. They devoted an entire channel which
(16:07):
then was CNBC to Nightly Curling,So that was a featured event. What
is the fascination with curling? Ait appears anybody can do it? How
hard could that be? I coulddo that? You kidn't meete, Well,
first, you can't trust me.There's no way you can. But
the allure is when you watch it, well, hell, I could do
(16:30):
that right. Here's the other partof it. There is strategy involved,
and it's intricate strategy. So theway they shoot it and you watch it
and you think, hmm, amI going to play that rock off the
top one? Or am I goingto try to come around the edge because
you've now become an expert, sonow you can't try to strategize and watch
(16:56):
it, I think more over,the thing about curling, it is absolutely
the perfect thing to watch if youget really loaded. If you get loaded.
Why is that because all you do, and you know, if you
get loaded, what you do youjust sit and stare. You can't move
(17:19):
real fast, your mouth open,your mouth open. Things aren't firing on
all cylinders as quickly as they normallywould be. So now you're loaded and
you're staring, and you go,oh man, wow, are you kidding
me? Who? Yeah, andyou just become transfixed. You just sit
(17:41):
there and stare. I'm telling you, I think that's what it is.
I think you just get completely toastedand stare at it and you're mesmerized by
it. I think that's one ofthe big that's one of the big draws
of it. Yeah, but Ithink you're also right that a lot of
people believe that curling. I coulddo that. It's easy. I could
(18:03):
go do that. You know,let me get out of my buddies and
get my roller blades since it's sunnyout here, and try to do some
curling real quick, and then we'lltransfer to the ice. But I think
a lot of people do, andthose that are in you know, northern
territories where it does snow and there'sice on the lake. You go out
there. I bet much millions ofpeople have gone out and go, let's
do some curling today. Let's gocurling. No, I agree with you,
(18:26):
And I'm telling you, if youthink you can try that, there
are places in Los Angeles where theyhave curling rings. You should go try.
Go out there and just give ita shot. How hard can it
be? Just go out there,try it. Because in the Olympics.
They are by the way, they'recalled bond Spiels, bond Spiels, a
(18:51):
bond spiel or a bond spiel,a bond spiel. Those are curling tournaments,
so even in the Olympics, itwould be known as a bond Spiel.
And if you really watch them,they are so precise and just an
inch an inch off could be amiss or set the other other team up
(19:17):
to score. It's a lot harderthan it looks. And it was fun
doing it. I have to tellyou. I know I wasn't loaded,
but I was staring at it.It was it fun to commentate. Yeah,
it was fun. I enjoyed.Really. What about the maintenance of
the of the ice, you know, I would imagine that it's yeah,
I would imagine that it's got tobe because it has to be very smooth.
(19:41):
And then when you see it,noshing, the brushing, the brushing,
the brushing, the brushing, thegypsy so it's not smooth. No,
they don't. They don't really manage. Know what they do is they
before each match they do something calledpebbling, and pebbling. A comes out
and he's got a tank on hisback and he starts sprinkling the ice with
(20:07):
water pebbles, and that that thensits on top of the ice because the
only way the stone curls is offthe pebbling of the ice. So it
doesn't really I mean, you haveto throw it, but I mean it
doesn't matter. If you know I'mgonna throw this thing as hard as I
(20:30):
can look at you using all theseterms, that won't matter. That won't
matter. And it's just the wayyou your wrist moves and at the end
the way you release it. Andthen it's it spins like this until it
gets to the point they're not throwingthis thing like rock hard fast right down
the middle. It's not a fastlike a bowling ball. Then I like,
(20:52):
okay, last these pins and makeit curve a little bit and do
that. It is so they waterpedals, pebble that's what they put it
in between the matches in between theypebble it and it and then what it
does it do? Does it melt? Does it the water comes out?
What? What did the pellets do? They make it bumpy to sit there
(21:15):
and and form on top of theice. I'm mystified, Yes, I
was, I was mystified. Thankyou and then the brush of it and
the brushing. All you're doing isyour You're brushing down those pebbles the way
it's a millimeter to the right orto the left, and trying to get
(21:36):
it. Yeah, that's how itworks, all right. Kevin just said
that's enough curling. Okay, Kevin, I had nothing to do with the
curling. Is this. I'm lookingat the clock. Don to come down
the hale yelling at me. That'sall all right. I'm just going to
go into the history of curling andeverybody I ever competed it. Get the
spirituality. No, no, no, no, I'll save that for another
day. And I'm mystified. Iam mystified. I am too. All
(22:03):
right, we do need spirituality.After that, we must come together as
a people for sure. All right, Well, welcome on VIC next.

want to see your soul. Freddy. Where the glasses. It's just,
(25:26):

Yeah, go ahead, Butts tellyou what. I'll just say this.
(26:11):
On that stage, there was alot of money. A lot of
money on that stage that day.Wow, at the economic summit. Yeah,
okay, a lot of money onthat stage. Okay, So Mayor
Butts will be on. You knowwhen you said people, you know,
I'm goofing around. You can't lookus directly in the eye and the glasses.
(26:32):
So I'm doing curling in Vancouver forNBC and we were working out of
the venue. We were not inStanford, Connecticut, and I don't know,
because of the way the camera waspositioned, it kind of looked like
that I was just looking a littleoff camera. We tried to fix it,
but we couldn't because it was builtinside the crowd of the venue.
(26:56):
And people on social media were saying, please dear God, stop, it
looks like you're staring directly into mysoul. Wow, Like, well,
what do you want me to doabout it? You're staring directly into my
soul? All right. So theOlympics in Paris get started here pretty soon,
(27:21):
and I think if you listen,you know that I've been to a
lot of Olympic Games, and there'sone thing that they all have in common.
One thing. Well there's more thanone, but one of the things
is first, at the end ofthe game, at the end of the
day, the country that holds theOlympics always thinks it was terrible, terrible.
The country that holds it, Yeah, because they're over budget, so
(27:42):
they got to make up the difference. Things don't go exactly as they thought,
and then oftentimes the venues and thingslike that are not maintained afterwards,
so everything kind of falls apart.It's not a great thing. It's a
great thing to go in, it'sa great thing for tourism, it's a
great thing for national pride, andthen when it's over, it's like,
(28:02):
oh God, awful. So that'sone thing that you really happens now that
will not happen in la because again, the venues exist in a lot of
countries. They have to build thevenues right right, Okay. In LA,
the venues exist, and for example, the media village exists, and
(28:23):
the athletes village exists. That'll beat UCLA. So a lot of the
stuff's already in place. It doesn'tcost as much. But LA is over
now too, but they'll figure thatout, all right. Another thing you
always hear because it's how the newscycle works. For example, the river
there that they were going to havethe canoeing in stuff like poop, right,
(28:48):
okay. You will hear every possibleproblem reported on before the games.
It doesn't matter what it is.There will be protest, yes, there
will be. There will be peopleprotesting that they didn't want to have the
games there. Yes, that willhappen. You want to know why,
(29:08):
because it happens every time. Ithappens every single time. There will be
transportation problems. You will have reportson that. You want to know why.
It happens every time, every singletime. It doesn't matter where you
go. Basically, the stories arethe same because once this thing really gets
(29:33):
close as it is, and yousend the newspeople over there to start reporting,
they've got to report on something.They've got to tell stories. That's
why they're there and that's why they'repaid. So I don't even know what
the stories will be coming out ofParis. But there will be protests,
the will be problems with transportation,some of the venues may not function as
(29:55):
they hoped. Yes, you willhear that. And the funny thing is
the way NBC does the games,because I sat in enough seminars. When
you are doing the games for NBCSports, whatever the problems are, they
don't exist. We don't report those. If there is a major overriding story,
(30:17):
Bob Costas, then Mike Turrico nowwill handle it in prime time.
They will tell that story. NowNBC News is there and the Today Show,
and if something goes south, NBCNews will be all over it.
But the goal when televising the Olympicsand the image you have in this country
and the way that you acquire therights from the IOC. In the bidding
(30:38):
process, you are creating picture postcardsof each country. NBC spends millions of
dollars capturing images from the most picturesqueplaces in every country so they can tell
stories about the history of the country. So they and create this basically will
(31:03):
put together travelog which will always alwaysbe beautiful. That's what you do when
you have the Olympics. Those arethe scenes you will see. You know,
if Paris has a lot of homelesspeople, I assure you that's not
going to be a bumper coming backinto beach volleyball happen. Then I here,
(31:25):
beach volleyball is gonna be right outsideof the Eiffel Tower. Is that
where it's going to be. I'llsee if I can find it. There's
a video of it. It looksspectacular. Oh my god, I saw
that. I was like that,that is going to be amazing, because
even you know, beach volleyball atthe Olympics has turned into something that is
incredible, that gets large crowds andit's been one of the fan favorites to
(31:48):
go get over the last few Olympics. Oh and I heard that it's going
to be right at the backdrop isgoing to be the Eiffel Tower. And
Kevin, Yeah, when you getthat, send it to me because that
will be a made That would besomething that I would love if I was
going to the Olympics to go seein Paris the beach volleyball at the Eiffel
Tower. There you go. Picturepostcards. Right. Yeah, everything is
(32:10):
strategized, everything is choreographed, everythingto show the cities off in their best
light. And there is a groupof people, the International Broadcasting Company or
Olympic Broadcasting Company OBC, and whatthey do is NBC contracts with them.
(32:34):
NBC can send supplemental cameras over butthe majority of coverage comes from a universal
Olympic Broadcasting company. So if you'rewatching in Japan or Kenya, or Canada
or Munich, the shots are allthe same. Shots are all the same.
(32:57):
Yeah, the Olympic Broadcasting Company isproviding those feeds. You have the
opportunity to supplement those feeds. Youcan spend more money and then put your
own cameras in there. So,for example, in the United States,
gymnastics, beach, volleyball, swimming, diving, track and field all have
(33:22):
NBC supplemental cameras. So if therewas a sport in Japan that was very
big, the Japanese broadcasting company wouldprobably supplement it with one of their own
cameras, but the feed so theyget the extra shot as opposed to it
just being the feed that everybody gets. Correct, You can get something special
(33:43):
like maybe having an extra camera too, that just focuses on the bench or
the players, or it was somethingyou know that's just like something that everybody
doesn't just get, you know whatI'm saying. Yeah, So, for
example, in gymnastics, what isit called the kiss and cry area after
they finish the kiss and cry Ithink that's what it's called. Or maybe
(34:06):
that's in skating. I don't knowwhat skating was kissing cry I can't remember.
But in gymnastics you will see shotsof the Americans that will not be
seen around the world because NBC haspaid for additional camera placement so they can
simply focus on the Americans, andthey do that in all of the prime
(34:27):
time events. So if you're watchingon cable, for example, or Peacock
This Go Round, you will getthe world feed. You will probably not
have those supplemental shots. You'll justsee what the world sees. You'll see
action, but the supplemental cameras andthere's summ at Beach volleyball too, they
allow you to tell stories, whichin the United States is critical for the
(34:51):
primetime audience because you are going tosee these people. Now you know some
owned Biles, okay, we knowher, but the majority of these people
you've never seen before. You don'tknow who they are, you don't know
why they're there, You have noidea where they're from. And what we
try to do in the United Statesis tell stories. And when you tell
(35:12):
stories, people gravitate toward those individuals. Oh, I want to root for
them. Now I know their story. That's why they have the supplemental cameras,
That's why they have athlete profiles,so you become invested in their story.
The worst thing that ever happens toNBC coverage of the Olympics, and
(35:36):
we had it in boxing all thetime, all the time. The Americans
get knocked out. Now you're screwed. Now, what happens? What happens?
Yeah, if you plan for themto go all the way to the
finals and be at the end,right right, you keep Now you lose
what five days of programming that youplanned on. No, you keep going,
(36:00):
you keep going, but you haveno stories. Now you're trying to
create a story about a guy fromCuba. You have the research manual,
he doesn't speak English, and you'vegot to quickly pivot. You've got to
start telling stories about people from aroundthe world. But while you found is
the American audience doesn't really care.They just don't care. If the Americans
(36:22):
are out, you're in trouble.Yeah, right, because there's a bunch
of people you've never heard of inthe first place. Right, So we've
taken the time to introduce you toeach and every one of these people.
And some of those yeah, well, sorry to cut you off, but
some of those like people might haven'teven be interested in that particular event,
but when they see an American involved, it's like, oh, let me
(36:44):
watch, let me sit in,let me get invested in this. Americans
involved in this Olympic sport. Right, And that's why, all of a
sudden, if you don't follow GrecoRoman wrestling. But as that discipline continues
and the story becomes there's an Americanwith a chance to meddle, you're gonna
watch. You're now interested in thatfencing, fencing, an American can win
(37:07):
fencing. I'm gonna watch table tennis, I'm gonna watch. How did curling
get so big? Fred? Howdid curling get to the point where,
I mean, what was the transitioninto making curling one of those events that
for I guess for a while itwas nobody watching curling. Nobody wants,
(37:30):
nobody cares about curling. It's justa crazy sport. And then I don't
even remember how it happened, butif it's some reason, at some point
it became it became a must watch. The curly became a must watch event
to the to the people that wouldnever otherwise be interested in any kind of
curly, or any kind of forthat matter, any kind of winter sport,
(37:54):
but they got interested in curly.I know people that like, can't
wait for the curling competition Curly.It starts at nine to night. I'm
getting ready for that. Are yougetting ready? You're gonna watch that curling?
They What in the world how didcurling gets so big? A couple
of ways. First, when NBCgot the Olympic package and the Winter Games,
they devoted an entire channel, whichthen was CNBC to nightly curling,
(38:20):
so that was a featured event.What is the fascination with curling? A
it appears anybody can do it.How hard could that be? I could
do that? You kidding Meete,Well, first, you can't trust me.
There's no way you can. Butthe allure is when you watch it,
Well, hell, I could dothat, right, here's the other
(38:42):
part of it. There is strategyinvolved, and it's intricate strategy. So
the way they shoot it and youwatch it and you think, hmm,
am I gonna play that rock offthe top one? Or am I gonna
try to come around the edge becauseyou've now become an expert, so now
you can't try to strategize and watchit. I think more over the thing
(39:09):
about curling, it is absolutely theperfect thing to watch if you get really
loaded. If you get loaded.Why is that because all you do,
and you know if you get loaded, what you do you just sit and
stare. You can't move real fast, your mouth open, your mouth open.
(39:31):
Things aren't firing on all cylinders asquickly as they normally would be.
So now you're loaded and you're staring, and you go, oh man,
wow, are you kidding me?Who? Yeah, and you just become
transfixed. You just sit there andstare. I'm telling you, I think
(39:54):
that's what it is. I thinkit just get completely toasted and stare at
it and you're mesmerized by it.I think that's one of the big that's
one of the big draws of it. Yeah, but I think you're also
right that people. A lot ofpeople believe that curling. I could do
that. It's easy. I couldgo do that. You know, let
(40:15):
me get out of my buddies andget my roller blades since it's sunny out
here, and try to do somecurling real quick, and then we'll transfer
it to the ice. But Ithink a lot of people do. And
those that are in you know,northern territories where it does snow and there's
ice on the lake. You goout there. I bet it much.
Millions of people have gone out andgo, let's do some curling today.
Let's go curling. No, Iagree with you, and I'm telling you,
(40:37):
if you think you can try that, there are places in Los Angeles
where they have curling rings. Youshould go try. Go out there and
just give it a shot. Howhard can it be? How hard?
Just go out there? Try it? Because in the Olympics they are by
the way, they're called Bondspiels,bonds biel, a bond spiel, or
(41:00):
a bond spiel, a bond spiel. Those are curling tournaments. So even
in the Olympics it would be knownas a bond spiel, And if you
really watch them, they are soprecise and just an inch an inch off
(41:22):
could be a miss or set theother other team up to score. It's
a lot harder than it looks.And it was fun doing it. I
have to tell you. I knowI wasn't loaded, but I was staring
at it. Was it fun tocommentate? Yeah? It was fun.
I enjoyed. I really What aboutthe maintenance of the of the ice?
(41:43):
You know, I would imagine thatit's yeah, I would imagine that it's
got to be because it has tobe very smooth. And then when you
see it, the brushing, thebrushing, the brushing, the brushing,
the gipsy, so it's not smooth. No, they don't. They don't
really manage. What they do isthey before each match they do something called
(42:05):
pebbling and pebbling A guy comes outand he's got a tank on his back
and he starts sprinkling the ice withwater pebbles and that that then sits on
top of the ice because the onlyway the stone curls is off the pebbling
(42:31):
of the ice. So it doesn'treally I mean, you have to throw
it, but I mean it doesn'tmatter if you know, I'm gonna throw
this thing as hard as I canlook at you using all these terms that
won't matter. That won't matter.And it's just the way your wrist moves
and at the end the way yourelease it. And then it's it spins
(42:52):
like this until it gets to thepoint they're not throwing this thing like rock
hard fast right down the middle,not a fast like a bowling ball.
Then I like, okay, lastthese pins and make it curve a little
bit and do that. It isso they water pedals, pebble that's what
they put in between the matches inbetween They pebble it and it and then
(43:16):
what it does it do? Doesit melt? Does it the water comes
out? What? What did thepellets do? They make it buffy to
sit there and and form on topof the ice. I'm mystified, Yes
I was. I was mystified.Thank you. And then the brushing of
it, and the brushing all you'redoing is your you're brushing down those pebbles
(43:42):
the way melimitter to the right orto the left and try to get it.
Yeah. Wow, that's how itworks, all right. Kevin just
said that's enough curling, okay,kevinin I had nothing to do with the
curling. Is this. I'm lookingat the clock. Don to come down
the hall yelling at me. That'sall all right, I'm just going to
go into the history of curling andeverybody has ever competed spirituality. No,

Do not look Oh, I usuallywear those dark glasses, right, were
those dark glasses, Kevin? Justtalk to me about that in the past.
It's just not the best look.You don't look very engaged, fred
(03:05):
No, no, Freddy. Butyou know you want to connect with you.
They want to see your soul,you know, they want to be
your soul, Freddy. The glasses, it's just, you know, it
takes away the intimacy. It's alsonot very nice of you to be cornered
off in the corner people come upand say, hey, can I talk
to Fred? And I was like, first of all, that's mister Rogan,

Be there Monday early. The showstarts at Oh. Mayor Butts is
now confirmed, excellent. Mayor Buttsis confirmed. He'll be on at one
(03:51):
o'clock. Yeah, yeah, andthen we can talk about his great Economic
Summit that he had a couple ofweeks ago. Yeah, go ahead,
but tell you what, I'll justsay this. On that stage, there
was a lot of money, alot of money on that stage that day.
Wow, at the economic summit.Okay, a lot of money on
(04:14):
that stage. Okay, So MayorButts will be on. You know when
you said people, you know,I'm goofing around. You can't look us
directly in the eye and the glasses. So I'm doing curling in Vancouver for
NBC and we were working out ofthe venue. We were not in Stanford,
Connecticut, and I don't know becauseof the way the camera was positioned,
(04:38):
it kind of looked like that Iwas just looking a little off camera.
We tried to fix it, butwe couldn't because it was built inside
the crowd of the venue. Andpeople on social media were saying, please,
dear God stop, it looks likeyou're staring directly into my soul.
Wow, Like, well, whatdo you want me to do about it?
(04:58):
You're staring directly into my soul?All right? So the Olympics in
Paris gets started here pretty soon,and I think if you listen, you
know that I've been to a lotof Olympic Games and there's one thing that
they all have in common. Onething. Well there's more than one,
(05:21):
but one of the things is first, at the end of the game,
at the end of the day,the country that holds the Olympics always thinks
it was terrible, terrible. Thecountry that holds it, yeah, because
they're over budget, so they gotto make up the difference. Things don't
go exactly as they thought, andthen oftentimes the venues and things like that
are not maintained afterwards, so everythingkind of falls apart. It's not a
(05:46):
great thing. It's a great thingto go in. It's a great thing
for tourism, it's a great thingfor national pride, and then when it's
over, it's like, oh god, awful. So that's one thing that
really happens now that will not happenin LA because again, the venues exist.
In a lot of countries, theyhave to build the venues right right,
(06:06):
Okay, In LA, the venuesexist, and for example, the
media village exists, and the athletesvillage exists. That'll be at UCLA.
So a lot of the stuff's alreadyin place. It doesn't cost as much.
But LA is over now too,but they'll figure that out, all
right. Another thing you always hearbecause it's how the news cycle works.
(06:30):
For example, the river there thatthey were going to have the canoeing in
stuff like poop, right, thatwas okay. You will hear every possible
problem reported on before the games.It doesn't matter what it is. There
will be protests, yes, therewill be. There will be people protesting
(06:54):
that they didn't want to have thegames there. Yes, that will happen.
Do you want to know why?Because it happens every time. It
happens every single time. There willbe transportation problems. You will have reports
on that. I don't know why. It happens every time, every single
(07:14):
time. It doesn't matter where yougo. Basically, the stories are the
same because once this thing really getsclose as it is, and you send
the news people over there to startreporting, they've got to report on something.
They've got to tell stories. That'swhy they're there and that's why they're
(07:36):
paid. So I don't even knowwhat the stories will be coming out of
Paris, but there will be protests, there will be problems with transportation,
some of the venues may not functionas they hoped. Yes, you will
hear that. And the funny thingis the way NBC does the games,
because I sent in enough seminars.When you are doing the games for NBC
(07:58):
Sports, whatever the problems are,they don't exist. We don't report those.
If there is a major overriding story, Bob Costas, then Mike Turrico
now will handle it. In primetime. They will tell that story. Now
NBC News is there and the TodayShow, and if something goes south,
(08:18):
NBC News will be all over it. But the goal when televising the Olympics
and the image you have in thiscountry and the way that you acquire the
rights from the IOC. In thebidding process, you are creating picture postcards
of each country. NBC spends millionsof dollars capturing images from the most picturesque
(08:43):
places in every country so they cantell stories about the history of the country.
So they can create this basically,will put together travelog which will always
all way, He's be beautiful.That's what you do when you have the
Olympics. Those are the scenes youwill see. You know, if Paris
(09:07):
has a lot of homeless people,I assure you that's not going to be
a bumper coming back into beach volleyball. You think happen, then I here,
beach volleyball is gonna be right outsideof the Eiffel Tower. Is that
where it's going to be. I'llsee if I can find it. There's
a video of it. It looksspectacular. Oh my god, I saw
that. I was like that thatis going to be amazing, because even
(09:31):
you know, beach volleyball at theOlympics has turned in something that is incredible,
that gets large crowds and it's beenone of the fan favorites to go
dot over the last few Olympics.Oh and I heard that it's going to
be right at the backdrop is goingto be the Eiffel Tower and Kevin,
Yeah, when you get that,send it to me because that will be
a made That would be something thatI would love if I was going to
(09:52):
the Olympics to go see in Paristhe beach volleyball at the Eiffel Tower.
There you go, picture postcards,right, Yeah, everything is strategized,
everything is choreographed, everything to showthe cities off in their best light.
And there is a group of people, the International Broadcasting Company or Olympic Broadcasting
(10:18):
Company OBC, and what they dois NBC contracts with them. NBC can
send supplemental cameras over but the majorityof coverage comes from a universal Olympic Broadcasting
company. So if you're watching inJapan or Kenya, or Canada or Munich,
(10:43):
the shots are all the same.Shots are all the same. Yeah,
the Olympic Broadcasting Company is providing thosefeeds. You have the opportunity to
supplement those feeds. You can spendmore money and then put your own cameras
in there. So, for example, in the United States, gymnastics,
(11:07):
beach volleyball, swimming, diving,track and field all have NBC supplemental cameras.
So if there was a sport inJapan that was very big, the
Japanese broadcasting company would probably supplement itwith one of their own cameras, but
the feed so they get the extrashot as opposed to it just being the
(11:30):
feed that everybody gets. Correct,you can get something special like maybe having
an extra camera too that just focuseson the bench or the players, or
it was something you know that's justlike something that everybody doesn't just get what
you're saying. Yeah, So forexample, in gymnastics, what is it
called the kiss and cry area afterthey finish the kissing cry area, I
(11:54):
think that's what it's called, ormaybe that's in skating. I don't know
what skating was, kissing cry came. But in gymnastics you will see shots
of the Americans that will not beseen around the world because NBC has paid
for additional camera placement so they cansimply focus on the Americans, and they
(12:16):
do that in all of the primetime events. So if you're watching on
cable, for example, or PeacockThis Go Round, you will get the
world feed. You will probably nothave those supplemental shots. You'll just see
what the world sees. You'll seeaction, but the supplemental cameras and there's
Summitt Beach volleyball too, they allowyou to tell stories, which in the
(12:39):
United States is critical for the primetimeaudience because you are going to see these
people. Now you know some ownedBiles, Okay, we know her,
but the majority of these people you'venever seen before. You don't know who
they are. You don't know whythey're there, You have no idea where
they're from. And what we tryto do in the United States is tell
(13:01):
stories. And when you tell stories, people gravitate toward those individuals. Oh,
I want to root for them.Now I know their story. That's
why they have the supplemental cameras,That's why they have athlete profiles, so
you become invested in their story.The worst thing that ever happens to NBC
(13:24):
coverage of the Olympics, and wehad it in boxing all the time,
all the time. The Americans getknocked out. Now you're screwed. Now
what happens? What happens? Yeah, if you plan for them to go
all the way to the finals andbe at the end, right right,
you keep Now you lose what fivedays of programming that you planned on.
(13:48):
No, you keep going, youkeep going, but you have no stories.
Now you're trying to create a storyabout a guy from Cuba. You
have the research manual, he doesn'tspeak English, and you've got to quickly
pivot. You've got to start tellingstories about people from around the world.
But while we found is the Americanaudience doesn't really care. They just don't
(14:11):
care. If the Americans are out, you're in trouble. Yeah, right,
because there's a bunch of people you'venever heard of in the first place.
Right, So we've taken the timeto introduce you to each and every
one of these people. And someof those yeah, well, sorry to
cut you off, but some ofthose like people might haven't even be interested
in that particular event, but whenthey see an American involved, it's like,
(14:35):
oh, let me watch, letme sit in, let me get
invested in this. Americans involved inthis Olympic sport. Right, And that's
why, all of a sudden,if you don't follow Greco Roman wrestling,
But as that discipline continues and thestory becomes there's an American with a chance
to meddle, you're gonna watch.You're now interested in that fencing, fencing,
(14:56):
an American can win fencing. I'mgonna watch table tennis. I'm gonna
watch How did curling get so big? Fred? How did curling get to
the point where, I mean,what was the transition into making curling one
of those events that for I guess, for a while it was nobody watching
(15:20):
curling, nobody wants, nobody caresabout curling. It's just a crazy sport.
And then I don't even remember howit happened, but if it's some
reason, at some point it becameit became a must watch. The curling
became a must watch event to theto the people that would never otherwise be
interested in any kind of curling,or any kind of for that matter,
(15:43):
any kind of winter sport, butthey got interested in curing. I know
people that like, I can't waitfor the curling competition. Curling starts at
nine to night. I'm getting readyfor that? Are you getting ready?
You're gonna watch that curling? Like? What in the world? How did
curling get so big? A coupleof ways. The first one, NBC
got the Olympic package and the WinterGames. They devoted an entire channel which
(16:07):
then was CNBC to Nightly Curling,So that was a featured event. What
is the fascination with curling? Ait appears anybody can do it? How
hard could that be? I coulddo that? You kidn't meete, Well,
first, you can't trust me.There's no way you can. But
the allure is when you watch it, well, hell, I could do
(16:30):
that right. Here's the other partof it. There is strategy involved,
and it's intricate strategy. So theway they shoot it and you watch it
and you think, hmm, amI going to play that rock off the
top one? Or am I goingto try to come around the edge because
you've now become an expert, sonow you can't try to strategize and watch
(16:56):
it, I think more over,the thing about curling, it is absolutely
the perfect thing to watch if youget really loaded. If you get loaded.
Why is that because all you do, and you know, if you
get loaded, what you do youjust sit and stare. You can't move
(17:19):
real fast, your mouth open,your mouth open. Things aren't firing on
all cylinders as quickly as they normallywould be. So now you're loaded and
you're staring, and you go,oh man, wow, are you kidding
me? Who? Yeah, andyou just become transfixed. You just sit
(17:41):
there and stare. I'm telling you, I think that's what it is.
I think you just get completely toastedand stare at it and you're mesmerized by
it. I think that's one ofthe big that's one of the big draws
of it. Yeah, but Ithink you're also right that a lot of
people believe that curling. I coulddo that. It's easy. I could
(18:03):
go do that. You know,let me get out of my buddies and
get my roller blades since it's sunnyout here, and try to do some
curling real quick, and then we'lltransfer to the ice. But I think
a lot of people do, andthose that are in you know, northern
territories where it does snow and there'sice on the lake. You go out
there. I bet much millions ofpeople have gone out and go, let's
do some curling today. Let's gocurling. No, I agree with you,
(18:26):
And I'm telling you, if youthink you can try that, there
are places in Los Angeles where theyhave curling rings. You should go try.
Go out there and just give ita shot. How hard can it
be? Just go out there,try it. Because in the Olympics.
They are by the way, they'recalled bond Spiels, bond Spiels, a
(18:51):
bond spiel or a bond spiel,a bond spiel. Those are curling tournaments,
so even in the Olympics, itwould be known as a bond Spiel.
And if you really watch them,they are so precise and just an
inch an inch off could be amiss or set the other other team up
(19:17):
to score. It's a lot harderthan it looks. And it was fun
doing it. I have to tellyou. I know I wasn't loaded,
but I was staring at it.It was it fun to commentate. Yeah,
it was fun. I enjoyed.Really. What about the maintenance of
the of the ice, you know, I would imagine that it's yeah,
I would imagine that it's got tobe because it has to be very smooth.
(19:41):
And then when you see it,noshing, the brushing, the brushing,
the brushing, the brushing, thegypsy so it's not smooth. No,
they don't. They don't really manage. Know what they do is they
before each match they do something calledpebbling, and pebbling. A comes out
and he's got a tank on hisback and he starts sprinkling the ice with
(20:07):
water pebbles, and that that thensits on top of the ice because the
only way the stone curls is offthe pebbling of the ice. So it
doesn't really I mean, you haveto throw it, but I mean it
doesn't matter. If you know I'mgonna throw this thing as hard as I
(20:30):
can look at you using all theseterms, that won't matter. That won't
matter. And it's just the wayyou your wrist moves and at the end
the way you release it. Andthen it's it spins like this until it
gets to the point they're not throwingthis thing like rock hard fast right down
the middle. It's not a fastlike a bowling ball. Then I like,
(20:52):
okay, last these pins and makeit curve a little bit and do
that. It is so they waterpedals, pebble that's what they put it
in between the matches in between theypebble it and it and then what it
does it do? Does it melt? Does it the water comes out?
What? What did the pellets do? They make it bumpy to sit there
(21:15):
and and form on top of theice. I'm mystified, Yes, I
was, I was mystified. Thankyou and then the brush of it and
the brushing. All you're doing isyour You're brushing down those pebbles the way
it's a millimeter to the right orto the left, and trying to get
(21:36):
it. Yeah, that's how itworks, all right. Kevin just said
that's enough curling. Okay, Kevin, I had nothing to do with the
curling. Is this. I'm lookingat the clock. Don to come down
the hale yelling at me. That'sall all right. I'm just going to
go into the history of curling andeverybody I ever competed it. Get the
spirituality. No, no, no, no, I'll save that for another
day. And I'm mystified. Iam mystified. I am too. All
(22:03):
right, we do need spirituality.After that, we must come together as
a people for sure. All right, Well, welcome on VIC next.

(25:02):

were those dark classes? If Kevinhas talked to me about that in
the past. It's just not thebest look. You don't look very engaged
in fred No, no, Freddy, but you know you wouldn't want to
connect with you. They want tosee your soul. You know, they
want to see your soul. Freddy. Where the glasses. It's just,
(25:26):
you know, it takes away theintimacy. It's also not very nice of
you to be cornered off in thecorner. People come up and say,
hey, can I talk to fredAnd I was like, first of all,
that's mister Rogan, and no,you can't. Cannot. You will
relay the message to me, andif I deem it worthy enough, I
will tell fred Yes, you wantto talk to me, talk to Freido.
Didn't talk to me. Fredo willtalk to me, so be there,
(25:49):
be there a Hollywood Park, bethere Monday early. The show starts
at Oh. Mayor but is nowconfirmed, excellent, Mayor but is confirmed.
He'll be on at one o'clock.Yeah. Yeah, and then we
can talk about his great Economic Summitthat he had a couple of weeks ago.
Yeah, go ahead, Butts tellyou what. I'll just say this.
(26:11):
On that stage, there was alot of money. A lot of
money on that stage that day.Wow, at the economic summit. Yeah,
okay, a lot of money onthat stage. Okay, So Mayor
Butts will be on. You knowwhen you said people, you know,
I'm goofing around. You can't lookus directly in the eye and the glasses.
(26:32):
So I'm doing curling in Vancouver forNBC and we were working out of
the venue. We were not inStanford, Connecticut, and I don't know,
because of the way the camera waspositioned, it kind of looked like
that I was just looking a littleoff camera. We tried to fix it,
but we couldn't because it was builtinside the crowd of the venue.
(26:56):
And people on social media were saying, please dear God, stop, it
looks like you're staring directly into mysoul. Wow, Like, well,
what do you want me to doabout it? You're staring directly into my
soul? All right. So theOlympics in Paris get started here pretty soon,
(27:21):
and I think if you listen,you know that I've been to a
lot of Olympic Games, and there'sone thing that they all have in common.
One thing. Well there's more thanone, but one of the things
is first, at the end ofthe game, at the end of the
day, the country that holds theOlympics always thinks it was terrible, terrible.
The country that holds it, Yeah, because they're over budget, so
(27:42):
they got to make up the difference. Things don't go exactly as they thought,
and then oftentimes the venues and thingslike that are not maintained afterwards,
so everything kind of falls apart.It's not a great thing. It's a
great thing to go in, it'sa great thing for tourism, it's a
great thing for national pride, andthen when it's over, it's like,
(28:02):
oh God, awful. So that'sone thing that you really happens now that
will not happen in la because again, the venues exist in a lot of
countries. They have to build thevenues right right, Okay. In LA,
the venues exist, and for example, the media village exists, and
(28:23):
the athletes village exists. That'll beat UCLA. So a lot of the
stuff's already in place. It doesn'tcost as much. But LA is over
now too, but they'll figure thatout, all right. Another thing you
always hear because it's how the newscycle works. For example, the river
there that they were going to havethe canoeing in stuff like poop, right,
(28:48):
okay. You will hear every possibleproblem reported on before the games.
It doesn't matter what it is.There will be protest, yes, there
will be. There will be peopleprotesting that they didn't want to have the
games there. Yes, that willhappen. You want to know why,
(29:08):
because it happens every time. Ithappens every single time. There will be
transportation problems. You will have reportson that. You want to know why.
It happens every time, every singletime. It doesn't matter where you
go. Basically, the stories arethe same because once this thing really gets
(29:33):
close as it is, and yousend the newspeople over there to start reporting,
they've got to report on something.They've got to tell stories. That's
why they're there and that's why they'repaid. So I don't even know what
the stories will be coming out ofParis. But there will be protests,
the will be problems with transportation,some of the venues may not function as
(29:55):
they hoped. Yes, you willhear that. And the funny thing is
the way NBC does the games,because I sat in enough seminars. When
you are doing the games for NBCSports, whatever the problems are, they
don't exist. We don't report those. If there is a major overriding story,
(30:17):
Bob Costas, then Mike Turrico nowwill handle it in prime time.
They will tell that story. NowNBC News is there and the Today Show,
and if something goes south, NBCNews will be all over it.
But the goal when televising the Olympicsand the image you have in this country
and the way that you acquire therights from the IOC. In the bidding
(30:38):
process, you are creating picture postcardsof each country. NBC spends millions of
dollars capturing images from the most picturesqueplaces in every country so they can tell
stories about the history of the country. So they and create this basically will
(31:03):
put together travelog which will always alwaysbe beautiful. That's what you do when
you have the Olympics. Those arethe scenes you will see. You know,
if Paris has a lot of homelesspeople, I assure you that's not
going to be a bumper coming backinto beach volleyball happen. Then I here,
(31:25):
beach volleyball is gonna be right outsideof the Eiffel Tower. Is that
where it's going to be. I'llsee if I can find it. There's
a video of it. It looksspectacular. Oh my god, I saw
that. I was like that,that is going to be amazing, because
even you know, beach volleyball atthe Olympics has turned into something that is
incredible, that gets large crowds andit's been one of the fan favorites to
(31:48):
go get over the last few Olympics. Oh and I heard that it's going
to be right at the backdrop isgoing to be the Eiffel Tower. And
Kevin, Yeah, when you getthat, send it to me because that
will be a made That would besomething that I would love if I was
going to the Olympics to go seein Paris the beach volleyball at the Eiffel
Tower. There you go. Picturepostcards. Right. Yeah, everything is
(32:10):
strategized, everything is choreographed, everythingto show the cities off in their best
light. And there is a groupof people, the International Broadcasting Company or
Olympic Broadcasting Company OBC, and whatthey do is NBC contracts with them.
(32:34):
NBC can send supplemental cameras over butthe majority of coverage comes from a universal

or Munich, the shots are allthe same. Shots are all the same.
(32:57):
Yeah, the Olympic Broadcasting Company isproviding those feeds. You have the

like maybe having an extra camera too, that just focuses on the bench or

(34:06):
that's in skating. I don't knowwhat skating was kissing cry I can't remember.
But in gymnastics you will see shotsof the Americans that will not be
seen around the world because NBC haspaid for additional camera placement so they can
simply focus on the Americans, andthey do that in all of the prime
(34:27):
time events. So if you're watchingon cable, for example, or Peacock
This Go Round, you will getthe world feed. You will probably not
have those supplemental shots. You'll justsee what the world sees. You'll see
action, but the supplemental cameras andthere's summ at Beach volleyball too, they

stories, people gravitate toward those individuals. Oh, I want to root for

That's why they have athlete profiles,so you become invested in their story.
The worst thing that ever happens toNBC coverage of the Olympics, and
(35:36):
we had it in boxing all thetime, all the time. The Americans
get knocked out. Now you're screwed. Now, what happens? What happens?
Yeah, if you plan for themto go all the way to the
finals and be at the end,right right, you keep Now you lose
what five days of programming that youplanned on. No, you keep going,
(36:00):
you keep going, but you haveno stories. Now you're trying to
create a story about a guy fromCuba. You have the research manual,
he doesn't speak English, and you'vegot to quickly pivot. You've got to
start telling stories about people from aroundthe world. But while you found is
the American audience doesn't really care.They just don't care. If the Americans

(37:07):

part of it. There is strategyinvolved, and it's intricate strategy. So
the way they shoot it and youwatch it and you think, hmm,
am I gonna play that rock offthe top one? Or am I gonna
try to come around the edge becauseyou've now become an expert, so now
you can't try to strategize and watchit. I think more over the thing
(39:09):
about curling, it is absolutely theperfect thing to watch if you get really
loaded. If you get loaded.Why is that because all you do,
and you know if you get loaded, what you do you just sit and
stare. You can't move real fast, your mouth open, your mouth open.
(39:31):
Things aren't firing on all cylinders asquickly as they normally would be.
So now you're loaded and you're staring, and you go, oh man,
wow, are you kidding me?Who? Yeah, and you just become
transfixed. You just sit there andstare. I'm telling you, I think
(39:54):
that's what it is. I thinkit just get completely toasted and stare at
it and you're mesmerized by it.I think that's one of the big that's
one of the big draws of it. Yeah, but I think you're also
right that people. A lot ofpeople believe that curling. I could do
that. It's easy. I couldgo do that. You know, let
(40:15):
me get out of my buddies andget my roller blades since it's sunny out
here, and try to do somecurling real quick, and then we'll transfer
it to the ice. But Ithink a lot of people do. And
those that are in you know,northern territories where it does snow and there's
ice on the lake. You goout there. I bet it much.
Millions of people have gone out andgo, let's do some curling today.
Let's go curling. No, Iagree with you, and I'm telling you,
(40:37):
if you think you can try that, there are places in Los Angeles
where they have curling rings. Youshould go try. Go out there and
just give it a shot. Howhard can it be? How hard?
Just go out there? Try it? Because in the Olympics they are by
the way, they're called Bondspiels,bonds biel, a bond spiel, or
(41:00):
a bond spiel, a bond spiel. Those are curling tournaments. So even
in the Olympics it would be knownas a bond spiel, And if you
really watch them, they are soprecise and just an inch an inch off
(41:22):
could be a miss or set theother other team up to score. It's
a lot harder than it looks.And it was fun doing it. I
have to tell you. I knowI wasn't loaded, but I was staring
at it. Was it fun tocommentate? Yeah? It was fun.
I enjoyed. I really What aboutthe maintenance of the of the ice?
(41:43):
You know, I would imagine thatit's yeah, I would imagine that it's
got to be because it has tobe very smooth. And then when you
see it, the brushing, thebrushing, the brushing, the brushing,
the gipsy, so it's not smooth. No, they don't. They don't
really manage. What they do isthey before each match they do something called
(42:05):
pebbling and pebbling A guy comes outand he's got a tank on his back
and he starts sprinkling the ice withwater pebbles and that that then sits on
top of the ice because the onlyway the stone curls is off the pebbling
(42:31):
of the ice. So it doesn'treally I mean, you have to throw
it, but I mean it doesn'tmatter if you know, I'm gonna throw
this thing as hard as I canlook at you using all these terms that
won't matter. That won't matter.And it's just the way your wrist moves
and at the end the way yourelease it. And then it's it spins
(42:52):
like this until it gets to thepoint they're not throwing this thing like rock
hard fast right down the middle,not a fast like a bowling ball.
Then I like, okay, lastthese pins and make it curve a little
bit and do that. It isso they water pedals, pebble that's what
they put in between the matches inbetween They pebble it and it and then
(43:16):
what it does it do? Doesit melt? Does it the water comes
out? What? What did thepellets do? They make it buffy to
sit there and and form on topof the ice. I'm mystified, Yes
I was. I was mystified.Thank you. And then the brushing of
it, and the brushing all you'redoing is your you're brushing down those pebbles
(43:42):
the way melimitter to the right orto the left and try to get it.
Yeah. Wow, that's how itworks, all right. Kevin just
said that's enough curling, okay,kevinin I had nothing to do with the
curling. Is this. I'm lookingat the clock. Don to come down
the hall yelling at me. That'sall all right, I'm just going to
