Young Hollywood

What's up guys, Leslie Robins here for Young Hollywood. Yes, I am center ice in center field. It is the Kings Ducks game coming to you from Dodger Stadium and I am bringing you all the action. So, did you ever think you'd see ice hockey outdoors in Southern California?

Guest

No, it's super weird. I can't wait to get out there and see what it's like. I mean, the last time I saw an outdoor hockey game was at Heinzfield in Pittsburgh and it was freezing.

Guest

I I love it. It's fantastic. Playing the Ducks. It's a two Stanley Cup champions playing each other. That's unique for California, especially on Dodger Stadium.

Young Hollywood

Kevin, you're a huge fellow Long Islander.

Guest

Fellow Long Islander right here. Long Island, Islanders, Rangers, but it's about the Kings and the Ducks playing at Dodger Stadium right now.

Guest

Yeah, it's crazy, right? It's a weird, weird thing. Yeah, I don't think it's too often with this types of games come around especially around here, so uh it's going to be fun.

Guest

Ice with palm trees in the background. It's it's pretty unique and and certainly going to be something I'll remember. Uh this is going to be a great, great event. I'm really looking forward to having fun.

Guest

You know, I moved here 27 years ago. Obviously, I didn't think I'd see the day, but then again, I didn't think I'd see the day where Wayne Gretzky signed with the Kings and that happened. You know, plus it's LA. We do everything so much better than Michigan or these other or Canada or these other places.

Guest

Kiss played Dodger Stadium about 15 years ago on Halloween 98. This is a special event tonight. Outside hockey in in Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium. Never you haven't heard of that before. It's a lot different. uh having palm trees in the background and beach volleyball and everything all that stuff. So it's going to be awesome.

Young Hollywood

Did you ever think you would hear That sound in Dodger Stadium?

Guest

I I didn't. No, that's uh that's a new one. I don't think they've ever had that here.

Guest

This is ultimately Hollywood at its finest. I guess so. Showtime. Ice.

Young Hollywood

Did you ever think you'd see an ice rink in the middle of your field?

Guest

No, never. Never. I'm I'm probably I probably wouldn't even dream about there being a get a hockey game here.

Guest

No, I never did think I'd see the day. I mean, and a few years ago you couldn't have done this. The technology was was not as sophisticated as it is in terms of keeping the ice out there. But um, yeah, it's great. It's great for the sport. It's great for the city. It's great for these two teams.

Guest

Even like just looking at the actual ice sheet, it it seems like really small, but I think it's it's just because everything around it looks so much bigger.

Young Hollywood

Is this going to be the biggest audience you've ever played in front of? I think we're talking maybe about 60,000 people.

Guest

Uh, yeah, I think so. You know, it's going to be strange out there. You know, these guys do it every day, so we got a little taste of their life for a bit.

Young Hollywood

Have you ever put on hockey skates before and how does that go?

Guest

Sure. Yeah, well, I was a kid growing up and in Pittsburgh, we had an ice skating rink at our high school that the penguins actually practiced at, so you you grew up um skating.

Young Hollywood

Are you a hockey player at all? Do you get on the ice?

Guest

I used to skate a little bit when I was younger. Uh, I never really played ice hockey, though. I would have liked to, though. I've always been into hockey and I I love it. So.

Young Hollywood

Well, tell me, how's your hockey game going?

Guest

Uh, not well right now, but I'll get back on it.

Guest

Little known fact, I am an ex-hockey player. Yeah, I played in high I played one year in high school and one year in college. I made a team, I sucked. I had no stats. I didn't score any goals. I had one penalty. Um, I froze my butt off on the bench.

Young Hollywood

What about you on hockey skates?

Guest

Uh, yeah, I used to used to be better. Now, I'm a little bit older and uh, it's a little more painful, so not as much.

Guest

I'm retired. I'm older than Yager.

Guest

I never put on a pair of skates in my life and I'll never put on a pair of skates. That's not my sport.

Young Hollywood

Since we're at Dodger Stadium and normally baseball players have a song they get to come out to. You get to pick a song, what would it be?

Guest

Ooh, I don't know. You're putting me on the spot here. Um. You you wouldn't know this song. It's probably I would do Tucke V. Diesel from Toten Hosen, German band. Yeah, you got to look it up. It'll be a tough one.

Guest

Probably I'm a big uh house music fan, so I'd probably get some Avicii playing.

Guest

Probably right now, Pompeii by Bastille. I've uh been rocking out to that a lot.

Guest

Like me, I'm for you, Gogo. Frank Gally, you know, Zoolander.

Guest

I think right now I'm on a real big Arctic Monkeys kick, so probably something by them. That's not a joke. That's a real band. Look 'em up. They're awesome.

Young Hollywood

Pretend you're an athlete. What are you doing exercise-wise, eating fresh, what are you doing for this?

Guest

And then I eat well. And then I eat well. Eating is the most important thing.

Guest

I do eat fairly well, thankfully. Um, right now I'm on a hiatus from workouts.

Young Hollywood

Are you working out? Eating fresh? What are you doing?

Guest

Still working out, so I'm doing that, trying to eat well.

Young Hollywood

If I was going to prepare to be a hockey player, what kind of advice would you give me on working out, eating fresh? What do you do?

Wayne Gretzky

All of the above. Uh, yeah, eat fresh. Um, take care of your legs. That's uh, that's your money maker, I guess.

Guest

I uh, I had a child, my first child, uh, almost 10 months ago. The minute he was born, I said, you know, I'm old, I'm 54 and I'm fat. I got to get rid of one of those. So I I care about what I eat. And just generally, you got to watch uh, what we're eating and, you know, we work out a lot. I've been I go to the gym every other day, so.

Guest

Just living a pretty clean life. Uh, I get to bed nice and early. Make sure you get your greens and uh, wear a helmet.

Guest

We eating Subway? Or what is this a Subway commercial? Do you remember last time? Yeah. We'll work with that. We'll send that into Subway. Maybe you can give me a sponsorship. I don't exactly have a paycheck coming in right now. Subway. Eat fresh.

Young Hollywood

And there's a movie you're doing right now. This Entourage movie. How's it going?

Guest

It's going good. We're only two days into it. We got a little ways to go, but uh, it's glad to have glad to have everybody back.

Young Hollywood

And when you need a reporter on set, we'll be there.

Guest

It'll be you. It'll be you guys first and foremost.

Guest

I'm going to state the obvious here that your team isn't playing out on the ice right now. You mean they do winter classics without us?

Guest

Kiss is on right now. We're missing Kiss right now. We have I mean, we're actually missing Kiss.

Guest

Few of the guys are giving me a hard time. There's a lot of Martinez's that have graced this field before me and I'm just happy that I can uh, I can follow it up maybe in a different sport this time around.

Young Hollywood

Tell me your fondest memory of playing outdoors.

Wayne Gretzky

Well, you know, we all loved it as kids. And the best part of being outdoors was coming in from the cold and your feet being frozen cold and your mom or dad rubbing your toes, and you're crying and bawling saying, I'll never do this again. And you're back out there again the next day.

Guest

One, two, three, do it. He didn't do it.
