But instead I 62 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 3: just make ripoff versions. So I made this Roundtable garlic 63 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 3: palmers on breadstick plate. And if you've never been to 64 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 3: Round Table, which I think is only on the West coast, 65 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 3: r it's a northern California place. 66 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: I think it's only kind of in the West. I 67 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: don't think it's a national chain. 68 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 3: But it's really good and cheesy, loaded with garlic goodness. 69 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: So I made that. 70 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 3: That was the appetizer, and then I made not one, 71 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 3: but two authentic original mallard pies from the old Country, 72 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 3: which is not really the Old Country, because you know, 73 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 3: I came up with the recie, but. 74 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: It's just what I like.

See that the time for me 96 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 3: is the timing thing.

We had a bunch of 116 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 3: left I made too much food, so we had a 117 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 3: bunch of leftover pizza and breadsticks. Actually the bread sticks 118 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 3: went pretty quick. There was leftover pizza, and so he 119 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 3: took a bag of pizza. 120 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 4: Well yeah, that's when you ask for some tinfoil. 121 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so he took some. He took some pizza, 122 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 3: and then I was like, well, maybe he's just being polite. 123 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 3: Part of me is like, well, maybe he's just being polite. 124 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 3: You know, I don't want to be a dick, and 125 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 3: he wants me to think that he likes the pizza. 126 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: You know, I like the pizza or whatever he likes it. 127 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: So I was kind of rolling over that. 128 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 3: But the next day I got a text and he said, hey, 129 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 3: I loved it. Tastes just as good the second day, 130 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 3: and so I was like, there you go.

It was basketball heaven for little kids. 174 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 4: And then you go to the middle and there was 175 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 4: like a huge basketball am was on store where you 176 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 4: could order exclusive NBA gear and they ship it right 177 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 4: to you so that you don't have to lug it 178 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,119 Speaker 4: around with you all weekend. So they had some cool concepts, 179 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 4: some good ideas. They had a big stage where they 180 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 4: had live performers, and that's also the stage where Adam 181 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 4: Silver got up there and made his weird announcement about 182 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 4: the in season tournament. 183 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: You know. 184 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 4: The highlight though, was Dominique Wilkins on our set. We 185 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 4: got to interview him former clipper. Yeah, former clipper, although 186 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 4: he said in the interview, he'd like to forget those years. 187 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: No, it's it's true. 188 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 3: When he was traded for Danny Manning, I was covering 189 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 3: the team at the time, and he was like a 190 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 3: sad puppy dog, like a Bassett hound. You know, he 191 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 3: was so depressed. He was so so depressed playing for 192 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 3: the Clippers. 193 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: What is still wrong with the Clippers? They were terrible 194 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: in those days. 195 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 3: At the play the Mausoleum Sports Arena, it was brilliant. 196 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, had it been the Bomber Clippers, he would have, 197 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 4: you know, blended in better with a Blake Griffin and 198 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 4: a Lob City. But yeah, back then it was a 199 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 4: sad situation for him. 200 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 3: And now, at one point Dominique for those that are 201 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 3: of not of the age, like Dominique Wilkins played in 202 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 3: the eighties, but at one point he was neck and 203 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 3: neck with Michael Jordan, like they were they were the 204 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 3: two great dunkers, dom Jordan, and then it's like they 205 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 3: were even and all of a sudden, Jordan like took off. 206 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 3: But for a while, Dominique Wilkins was considered the same 207 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 3: player as Jordan, and you know, very similar similar guy 208 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 3: as far as a dunking guy and a high flyer 209 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,119 Speaker 3: and all that, and then Jordan. 210 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: Took it to the next level. 211 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,719 Speaker 4: He even was runner up to Jordan's scoring title. Yeah, man, 212 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 4: a lot of people they asked him that too. They said, Hey, 213 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 4: when you google Dominique Wilkins, one of the first things 214 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 4: that comes up said why is he so underrated? He said, 215 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 4: he thinks it's because he didn't play alongside another genuine superstar. 216 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: That's a shot at doc rivers. That's a shot who. 217 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: I think the show was old HOWK John Contact. 218 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 3: I think was in Atlanta, a split web free rawlins right, Yes, yeah, 219 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 3: some of those old HOWK players back of the day. 220 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 4: That's very nice guy. It was really cool and he 221 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 4: stayed for like an extra fifteen twenty minutes after the 222 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 4: interview to take pictures with everybody that was there.

I've never seen a human being that 255 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 4: tall in my life. This guy would make you look 256 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 4: like Arnold West. I can't. Would you talk about Mallard? 257 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know, but he's not the thing about 258 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 3: I've seen him like he's very scrawny, like he's say, 259 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 3: he's got to fill out. But like the two biggest 260 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 3: human beings I've ever seen in my life were both 261 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 3: basketball players. 262 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: It was George Mirrasan who was in it. 263 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 4: That guy was huge. 264 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 3: He was in a movie with Billy Crystal and the 265 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 3: other one is Yao Ming and I guess Shaq would 266 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 3: be on there as well, but Yao Ming and George. 267 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: Mirras On were monsters, so Shack was also put. 268 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, but this guy is so skinny, though, do you 269 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 3: think he might be able to break him like a draft, 270 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 3: you know, the legs on a draft. 271 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why when we were on the air, I said, 272 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 4: I don't care what he says about skinny up or whatever. 273 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 4: He's got to put some muscle on. Whether that's fifteen 274 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 4: to twenty pounds. He's got to put something on because 275 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 4: if I'm an NBA coach, I'm telling my players, hey, 276 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 4: rough him up. He's definitely a skinny dude, and I 277 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 4: think you could probably push him around the court if 278 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 4: you wanted to play physical like that. 279 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like a piece of straw.
