  Speaker 4: fun fact about donuts. The earliest account known of the
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: what has now known as the modern donut eighteen oh nine.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Eighteen oh nine, that's one of the earliest accounts of donuts.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: It was attributed to a Dutch settler who brought them
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: over to the States, to New York. So we in
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: America eighteen oh nine, eighteen oh nine. The Salvation Army
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: in nineteen eighteen set up canteens in the front lines
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: of World War One and they provided care for the
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: soldiers who were mangled in World War One, and they
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: provided donuts.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: And can you imagine today if they did that. Who're
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: just not healthy. You can't you can't do that. What's right?
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: You know that whole thing.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: But they did in nineteen eighteen, over one hundred years ago.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: They're like, listen, these people are all messed up. These
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: soldiers got God love them, got messed up in war.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: We need to make them better. We'll give them donuts.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: And they gave them donuts. And knock yourself out.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: It's also National yo Yo Day today.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Yo Yo?
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Does anyone still use the yo yo? When I was
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: a kid, people fusched around with the yo yo? Yeah.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Yo yo goes all the way back to five hundred
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: BC five. It was made out of wood, metal and
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: painted disc the first yo yos and it's the second
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: oldest toy, by the way, second oldest toy.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: The yo yo considered the second oldest toy ever.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: It was patented in eighteen sixty six, so I guess
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: before that they only had one other toy, which was
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: like a ball, a ball or something like that. And
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: then the modern yo yo. Because I know you're all
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: about the yo yo. The modern yo yo was in
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: nineteen twenty, so one hundred and twenty, one hundred and
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: five years ago. Modern yoyo in the United States have
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: they the string looped only around the axle, only around
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: the axle, And yes, yo yo have been in space
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: in outer space.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: In nineteen eighty five, it became the first toy to
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: go to outer space.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: So I'm out of fun facts, and that means we
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: must get to the meat of the matter. So big
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: news yesterday and borrowing some kind of last minute snaffu.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Today, we're doing this here early in the morning.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: Aaron Rogers is going to sign the docu sign he
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: is going to go to the Pittsburgh Steelers. And what
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: better way to welcome Aaron Rodgers to Pittsburgh than bring
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: in the top Pittsburgh Steelers celebrity fan that I know
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: and a longtime friend of mine. I worked the sports
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: talk radio battlefield with this man for many many years,
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: the late night war of talk radio. And he joins,
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: now we're talking about Eddie Garcia King Eddie making his
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: way in their steamboat. Willie on the podcast, I see
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: is all decked out. He's got his high stuff on.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: And we'll get to that in a minute. But we're
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: gonna start with the football Eddie. And I'll make it
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: very simple. Thumbs up or thumbs down on Aaron Rogers
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: joining your Pittsburgh Steel was give me the inside, skinny, Eddie.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I guess I have to give it a thumbs up
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: considering what the alternatives were, which were a bunch of
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: crap on the roster now or like going and getting
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Matt Ryan or something. I mean, the options, the option,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, what were they gonna Are they really
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: gonna go into the season with the crap they had
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: at quarterback before this news came down?
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: So I mean, am I happy about it? No? Am
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I excited about it? Not really? But is it? Is
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: it under the circumstances, you know, a better option than
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: what they were gonna have? Apparently?
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so it does count.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: It counts as an upgrade, is what you're saying, because
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Mason Rudolph, the Red Noose quarterback was no. It is
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: a sad Rogers looked pretty cooked right with the Jets. Yes, yes,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: I agree, like they didn't have a lot left and
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: just the whole, the whole shebang and all that. But
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: the way I look at it, and you, obviously, Eddie,
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: you have skin in the game because you have terrible.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Dowels and you have how many Steeler jerseys do you own?
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Eddie? Oh gosh, probably about ten?
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Ten?
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: Ten?
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought maybe it was like three or four.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: I didn't realize it was ten. Now it's like it's
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: like ten ten, Now do you have? Like I mean,
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: oh boy, let see, we should do a game. Can
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: we name how many?
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna do that game.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: But before we get we'll try I'll try to guess
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: how many legendary Steeler jerseys Eddie has just off the
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: top there.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: But it might be more than ten now that I
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: think about it. But we'll play the game.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: We'll play the game.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: But yeah, so I look at it like this, uh,
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: and this is as you know, I'm very objective, Eddie.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: I never just you raw emotion.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: But you had, if you're Pittsburgh, you had the third
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: ranked quarterback in the division prior to this, right, because
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: you had Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow are ahead of
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: everyone else, and so they're there. And then thank God
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: for the Browns. I think you could Eddie for the
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Steelers and.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: You would still be better.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Off than with the Browns.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Aff So, so you had, you still have the third
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: ranked quarterback.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: And think of it, Eddie.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: For those of us, you know, you're you're a big podcaster,
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: muckety muck, you know, and those that do this kind
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: of stuff, think of the great conversations that Aaron Rodgers
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: will inspire. Either he'll be amazing, he'll have there's two
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: ways this goes. Right, he has a career renaissance and
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: this is the the classic.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: You know how in.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: Hollywood you have the high, the low, and then the
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: redemption story. It's that or he just doesn't give a
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: crap and he picks up the nickname Alleghany Aaron from
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: you know, having tea parties out in the woods around
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: Pittsburgh with Mike Tomlin and the players.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: And there's like, I don't think there's a middle ground here.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's just like middle ground. And either way,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: the Steelers are gonna win.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: What are you think with nine or ten games something
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: like that, no matter what, right, they always win around
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: that number.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they'll make the playoffs and they'll lose the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: first round.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: So you got it all man.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of funny because I used to
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: like Russell Wilson. I used to like watching him play.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I thought he was a pretty fun player to watch.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Thought he was pretty good when he was with Seattle
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: in the heyday, and then I don't know if it
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: was social media or what, he kind of turned into
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: a very unlikable douche. And then he started bouncing around
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: on different teams, and when he came to the Steelers,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I was not excited about it at all. I didn't
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: think he was going to do much. He actually played
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: a little bit better than I thought they would early on,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: but then he ended up being the guy I thought
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: it was gonna be, which is not very good. And
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: now he's gone the same thing with Aaron Rodgers. There
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: was nobody in the NFL that I enjoyed watching throw
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the football more than Aaron Rodgers. I loved how he
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: threw the ball. It made it look so effortless, and
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: he was fun to watch. And then he started doing
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: interviews and he was on shows, and then you kind
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: of realized what a douche she was and it became
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: more about him as a personality than what he was
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: doing on the field. And now he's coming to my
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: team again, and I feel the exact same way that
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I did on Russell Wilson joint. I'm not really excited
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: about it. I don't think he's gonna do much and
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. I'll hope for the best, but
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: expect the worst.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Well, Russell Wilson, at first, he thought, well he was
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: I thought he was doing cosplay in Seattle. When he was,
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: he sounded just like Pete Carroll. It was very bizarre,
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: like he'd do news conferences. He sounded just like Pete Carroll.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: And then the moment where I knew it was all
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: over for us when he did that thing that video
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: when he walked around his house, mister mister unlimited, Oh
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: my god, that was unbelievable.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: And now he's had a lot of weird He had
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of weird videos and clips and sound bite, says.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: Oh he did, he did, And then the stories that
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: came out, like even when it was with the Broncos
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: and he was high stepping down the trains continental flight
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: over the Atlantic.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Ocean, You're like, what are you doing?
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Dude?
• 8:59

• 13:51
  Speaker 1: so he could sign it for me, and he did.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: He was a super nice guy.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: That's great.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: I didn't know And so that's your your alignement. And
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: what other U I think some we'll just name them. Oh,
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: Carnell remember Carnell Lake. He was good, but that was
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: a long time ago. You probably don't have.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: No, I don't have him. One that you might not
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: have gotten, and I only got it for kind of
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: sentimental reasons was Ryan Shazier, the Steeler linebacker who's career
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: ended when he was paralyzed, although he did regain a
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: lot of his movement. And yes, I think, yeah, that
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: was that was a sentimental one that I that I got.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, big heart, Eddie. People say you're just cold, but
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: you have a big heart.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Look at that giant heart.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Giant, massive, huge heart.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: All right, Well that ends the Steeler jersey game. So
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: the main reason I was gonna have you on original
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: I reached out to you, Eddie. I said, you know,
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: I think I actually attempted the other night this is Friday,
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: but the other night on Wednesday, actually did a hockey
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: monologue on the Stanley Cup final. And and of course
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: you're the hockey guy, but you know I'm not, and
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: so I but I watched the game and I did
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: used to cover hockey many years ago. I covered the
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Kings and whatnot. So I know hockey, I just don't
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: talking about much. But I wanted to get your You're
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: the big Hockey podcast, Eddie. How many how many hockey
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: podcasts do you do?
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Two? Three, four, five, six, three three?
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Not one, not one, not two, but three three?
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's a lot. That's a lot.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Okay, so you're all over the NHL. So the Florida
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: pants Now, I picked Edmonton to win this series.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: You know that.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: I like stars. I'm all about the stars. Connor McDavid
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: is the big star. But the Florida Panthers in that game,
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: they only played well for one really one period in
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: my analysis, and in the in the third period in particular, Yeah,
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: look like they were I don't know what they were.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: They were skating in sand or something. Can you explain,
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: Eddie how that happened? I mean, I I was like, again,
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: I picked Edmonton. So I'm happy Edmonton won and all that,
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: but I could not believe how poorly Florida looked in
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: the in that late part of the game, like they
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: worn out.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Apparently they tried to take a page from the La
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Kings postseason playbook and just crapped themselves in the third
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: period of games against the Oilers. Now, two shots on
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: goal in the third period is pathetic after seventeen shots
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: on goal in the second period. I mean, talk about
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: a complete flip of the script. But and I look,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I hate the Edmondson Oilers with a passion, and I
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: am rooting very hard for the Florida Panthers. But Edmonton
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: had to win that game. When it's in overtime and
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: they get a power play because dumb dumb threw it
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: off the playing service and end of the crowd Toomas,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: no sick for Florida, Like you're like, they have to
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: win this game. They've been the better team. They've got
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: home ice this year. They didn't have it last year.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: The stars have showed up for him. McDavid and dry
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Title are already playing well and here they are in
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: overtime at home against the defending Stanley Cup champs. They
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: have to win this game. I thought if they were
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: to blow that game, it would have been a gigantic defeat.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: But they get the power play. McDavid sets up dry
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: see I'll drive home safely and all all is happy
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: north of the border. But a very solid performance for Edmonton.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I picked him to win the series because my picks
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: have been so bad that I'm trying to do the
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: reverse voodoo on them. Yeah. Yeah, I picked against them
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: in every round, including against my kings, and they've won
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: every round. So now I'm like, okay, enough, I'm going
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: to try it the other way and see how it goes.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: But no, that was I thought that was a hell
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: of a game. One goes over time, you have the
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: lead change, you have some controversy with the goalie interference thing,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: and then you know, it ends up going in overtime
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: and the stars, you know, like I said, McDavid and
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: dry Settle show up. So a terrific start to the
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cup Finals for the NHL.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: And my day ed the broadcast on tn T.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: You know, friend the great Kenny Albert, who I know,
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: you know because he's he used to listen to the
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: occasional Malor Overnight listener and he's, uh, you know, I
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: love that and you know sports with Coleman pal And
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: and Eddie Oldchuk when I you remember by briefly did
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: that crap at the studio show at NBC years ago,
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: and he was at one of the copy and one
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: time I've told I used to tell this, Sory Eddie,
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: you got to kick out of this because I at
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: one time the guy that was supposed to be on
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: set to talk about hockey wasn't there, so I had
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: to talk hockey and and he just busted my balls.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: He just thought that was funny.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: I'm like this, meetthead football fan and I had to
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: like breakdown, breakdown hockey.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: It was really funny.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: The other thing, as you know that the number.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: One cliche in the playoffs that he's a series does
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: not start until the home team loses.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that's usually an NBA thing though, isn't it,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: But it works in hockey.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Two. I think it works in hockey too.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Because the road teams win so often in hockey.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: I believe it still works though I'm going fine, Shay,
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: So it hasn't really started until the home team loses
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: and then the things. The other thing is everything I
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: read as I did my copious amounts of research was
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: that we're Stuart Skinner blows but he's playing well good
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: and then but it was a bold strategy by Florida
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: to not even really test Stuart Skinner from.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Most of the game. Like if you if you have
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: a weak link, don't you.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: Isn't sports one oh one or just any You just
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: attack the weak link. And Florida did not put any pressure,
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: did not make Stuart Skinner make saves late in the game.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: They just know how many shots they had.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: It's like, if that's the week you have, you're supposedly
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: have the better goaltender.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: Although you did blow a three.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: To one lead, so I don't don't know how good
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: Browsky was blowing that lead.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: But Stuart Skinner ady, who your Kings?
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: How many goals did they score against him before they
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: finally choked, you.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Know, the third period of those games?
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: But my god, well he got he got benched after
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: the first two games the Kings won, and he didn't
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: get back in until someone got hurt. That's the only
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: reason he's playing is because the backup Calvin Picker, who's
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: six and oh in the playoffs, but he can't get
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: his job back now because Skinner has come back and
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: now they're winning with him. But he is definitely the
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: week league CA and you're a hundred center right. They
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: have to wait, they have to put more pressure on him.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: That third period was shocking that they would I think
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: it was the what was it the first time in
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: thirty something games they blew a three third period lead
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: under their head coach Paul Maurice.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: There was something like, oh yeah, yeah when they had
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: to lead at the end of the first and second period.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: I saw they were thirty one to zer going into
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: the third period with the lead in playoff games under
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Paul Maurice. So bye bye to that. But they only
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: have themselves to play them, obviously, But it also didn't
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: they look they can't. The Oilers had to had to
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: win that game. They take advantage that dumb play where
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the where you know, the delay a game puck off
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: the ice. I mean, they had to come through on
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: that one. And they did, and and Florida let the
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: door open for him, and and they orders took advantage.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: All well, I've been told by one of my guys
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: in Boston, I gotta get any thought. The Bruins hired
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: a new coach. Idiot. I don't even know if you
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: know this.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, I know him very very well usually.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, Marco st Strom is Storm Storm Marco sterm.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know who this is.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: But he is the thirtieth head coach of the Boston Bruins.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: As you know, Eddie, we have a lot of listeners
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: there in Boston.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: They love you and they love hockey and they I
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: wish Eddie was here to bring Okay. So Eddie, you're here, Bruh,
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: you're on the fifth hour. So good Hire bad higher.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: I've never heard of the guy.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Well, he was the La Kings HL head coach, which
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: is if you're if you don't know what that means,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: basically their Triple A team, if you know, if you're
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: more a baseball guy, he was. He was the head
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: coach of their farm team that's here in Ontario, California,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: and he'd been there for many years. He had played
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: briefly with the Kings. He played for the Bruins and
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: had ties to that organization. Those guys over there know him,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: and uh, he was being groomed as being the next
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: King's head coach at some point, but it never like
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: that was the thinking of it for for years and
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: it just kind of wasn't happening, and they kept because
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: the Kings felt like they were close. They didn't think
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: it was a good idea to hand over a team
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: that was, in their eyes, a Stanley Cup contender to
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: a guy who never coached in the NHL before, so
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: they hired Todd McClellan. Uh, and then they fire him
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: and they promote the interim coach, and they I don't
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: know if they thought that was gonna work out. But
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: then this guy leads them to you know, the the
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: tied for the most wins and points in a regular
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: season ever. But then he vomits in the playoffs. So
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I just think, you know, he had Marco Sturm had
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: been groomed to be a head coach. The Kings thought
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: highly of him. He had coached professionally in Europe for
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: a little while. So we'll see. He's taken over a
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: team that's not very good. He's got one good player
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: and David Pasternak, and we'll see what else they have.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: But there, they don't like to talk about rebuilding in
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Boston because that's just not the culture of sports there.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: As you know, I think, though, they're they're gonna have
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: to do a little bit of a rebuild there.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: So we'll see. He's he's unproven.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: He's a fly good, but they don't I mean not
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: a not a Philadelphia flyer, but he's he's a you know,
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: a guy just taking a shot I got you all right, very.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Good and uh, you know, we did the whole hockey thing.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Have you ever been to Vancouver, by the way, have
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: you ever been?
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: I have? I thought it was beautiful. How did you
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: guys like it?
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: I loved it. I had no expectations at all.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: And our buddy Nico, who's a fan of yours by
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: the way as well, is a big p one there
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: in Vancouver.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: He's very kind.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: He rolled out the red carpet for us, and he
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: offered to uh to fly me up there, by the way.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you do that or not. Yeah,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: you should have. Yeah, I had had to work. I
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: had to do my little podcasting things, so but I
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: appreciate that. That was incredibly generous. And I looked like,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: you guys had a great time.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: We did it. We did have a fun time, had
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: a good turnout. And it's you know, you never know
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: who's listening, right Eddie.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: We've been on and off the the Overnight Show has
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: been on and off in Vancouver over the years, and
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: and we had you know, guys coming from all over
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: Vancouver and people from all over you know, different parts
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: of Canada that showed up there and Vancouver was just great.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: And the thing that I wandered around. I didn't go
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: to any games because we're supposed to go to a
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: soccer game, but the team the game, the white Caps,
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: moved the game to Mexico, so we obviously we didn't
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: go to that, but.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, couldn't make it there.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: But wandering around Vancouver was like, it's so beautiful that
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: I love the skyline. And then at the city, you know,
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: on one side, but you got the this Stanley Park.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: I don't know who Lord Stanley is. You know, he's
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: been you know, long dead before I came around. But
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: I would say Stanley Park more impressive than the Stanley Cup.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Eddy, what an amazing place that is.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that, Listen. I think Stanley Park's wonderful.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: We went to Stanley Park. When we went there, absolutely awesome.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Stanley Park is this massive. It's bigger than Central
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Park and awesome. You've got the skyline on one side,
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: huge trees, water surrounded by water.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: It's just seaplanes, like, I mean, it's I loved it.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: I thought it was gorgeous.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Oh, it was so sweet. I did not expect that.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: I had no expectations the other thing that I thought
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: really put Vancouver on the map. Do you know what's
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: right across the street from the Canuckserena, Eddie, do you
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: know what's right? There's a one street you cross over.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of traffic, so you gotta be careful.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: And do you know what's right across the street do
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: you remember?
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Well, well, we were all around there, but I don't
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: know what you're talking about.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: That would be a Costco food court literally across the
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: street from the Canucks Arena.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're laughing, Eddie, but I am.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Did you go? I mean, it's a stupid question, but
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: it could they sell poutine?
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: Yes, Costco putin Yes, I had Costco poutine. They have
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: chicken fingers, Eddie, and the Costco they have sushi. So
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: my guy, our friend Eddie, not you, I mean Nico, Eddie,
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: Nico who's lives there in Vancouvers and fan of your
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: work and my work, and so Nico he's telling me,
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: like they go. When people go to games in Vancouver,
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: whether it's the CFL team, the Canadian Football League team
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: there or the hockey team, they load up. There's a
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: huge line at Costco because it's so cheap. You can
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: tailgate and get the food and it's hot, you know,
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: because they got all the normal pizza and hot dogs.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: That is wild right across the street, all this amazing
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: dirt cheap, I mean advantage Vancouver massive.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: You're applying for your visa now you're moving moving to Vancouver.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Was it was quite expensive? What I hear? But it
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: is beautiful?
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: Well, it is expensive, but remember because of the US
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: currency versus the Canadian currency, it's like a twenty seven
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: percent discount.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: And who am I to say it's expensive. I live
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: in Los Angeles.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: I know the price of gas is obscene here. Everything
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: is just absolutely crazy, crazy.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: Town all the way around. Now the football season. I
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: did some math on this. The NFL season eighty is
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: like ninety something, maybe less.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Than that, I think remember less than ninety days away
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: from the NFL.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: And you and your wife always going some road trips.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: Have you planned anything this year? You are you eyeing something?
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: NFL road trip twenty twenty five? There is there something
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: you're looking at here. I'm guessing you're gonna do Chargers,
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: not Steelers, because you know.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: You're well, the Steelers are once again coming to LA
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: to places right away.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna have to try to go to that game.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: When is that game?
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: I'll have to try to go to that, gay, I'll
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: be a That is going to be Sunday night, so
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: that might not work out for you. That is on
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: November the ninth.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: Okay, so that's somewhat that's like this, Well, I guess
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: it's not early in the season. That'd be a third
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: month of the year, right September. Okay, so it's been
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: October Neber, so yeah, okay, that'd be decent, you know,
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: not bad. So you don't have to go Pittsburgh.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Right any we are not going to Brazil, which is
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: the Chargers opener in Plo, Brazil.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: Get the banana hammock out there, Come on, man, No, missus.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Garcia had no interest in going to South America. She
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: she was very upset that Europe was not on the
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: schedule there for the Chargers. Although the the you know,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: if something, look, I'll be you know this is going
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: on with me. They're her, my wife, God bless her her.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: She's got family members, her mom and her sister, who
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: are going through very difficult health issues right now. So
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: there are no plans for anything right now. You know
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: what I mean, We can't plan on anything. However, you know,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: there the Steelers are playing in in Ireland this year
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: and that would be kind of a dream trip because
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: she wants to go to Ireland and seeing the Steelers
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: in Ireland would be pretty awesome. So it's if if
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: anything in you know, along, if if it aligns right,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: maybe there's a chance that could happen. Uh, they're playing
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: the Packers. What a legacy kind of game that is.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: That would be amazing, But it probably won't happen, to
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: be honest with you, but that would be a hell
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: of a trip. But we don't. We don't unfortunately right now.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Think everything's on hold. Everything is on hold right now.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: So yeah, one thing that's not on hold is your podcasting.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: As you are there the.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: Joe Rogan of Hockey podcasts here dominating that world and
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: people I run up before I forget I did. I
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: did harass you at the meet and greet in Vancouver
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: because your name kept coming up, and so I finally
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: was like, listen, I just want to call Eddie. I
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: just I said I because people kept asking about you,
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: and not that I don't love talking about you, but
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: I was like well, I have his number, I'll just
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: call him. So I called you up randomly. You actually
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: answered the phone, and then I passed the phone around
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: a little bit, and and you made people very happy.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: The guys that were there and their friend, the mail man,
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: some of they were very happy. So I'm glad that
• 29:59

  Speaker 1: Well, not not the way we know them now. No,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: it was it was a very novel thing back when

  Speaker 1: week sometimes six I'm feeling feeling good even in the

  Speaker 1: off season every day. I know, I know it, Edie.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: I'm impressed. No, it's impressive and holy crap. All right.

  Speaker 1: At the end of the year, they hired me to

  Speaker 1: Game Night, which will be out there this weekend for
• 31:15

• 31:19
  Speaker 1: off season, although I don't know how that's gonna work,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna complain with it if it happens,

  Speaker 1: because that's money for me. But again, all these shows,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Puck podcasts, Locked on LA Kings, Locked on NHL Game Night,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: wherever are you looking for your podcasts? And also on YouTube,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: we have YouTube shows as well. Just search any of

• 31:43
  Speaker 1: You'll see my face and we may not want to

  Speaker 3: and you're learning.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: And I like that, as I've always said, Eddie, right,
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: this is like this, we're in June now, and this
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: is the time of the year that separates those that
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: can do talk radio and those that new podcasting. It's
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: easy to do these jobs when there's a lot going on, right,
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: you come in there, there's like seventeen different things you're
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: ready to run and yap about.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: But the real art of audio.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: Is coming in when there's not anything really juicy, and
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: you can make it compelling and have people want to
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: listen like That's that's what separates people.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: So well, my shows are only thirty minutes to an hour.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: You're you're your four hours, You're you're the You're in
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. I'm still you know, I'm the
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: miners here.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: Oh no, that's great. And at some point, probably sooner
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: than later, I'll be just like you. I'll just be
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: doing some podcasts. That's it, and that's that's how it's
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: gonna go. And I'm fine with that. I'm thirty minutes,
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: I can rant I can probably do that blindfold.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: At thirty I think you could, to be honest with
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: there at.
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: This point after all these years. Uh oh, and one
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: more thing, I know I'm taking.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: Much of your time.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: I want you to again remind people, Eddie, because this,
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: this has become a it's become a real issue the
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: last couple of months here, actually last couple of years.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: You worked in the stat world, right, you were in
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: that world, and I keep seeing these random stats pop
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: up or this it's the first time ever that this
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: has happened. And they add like seven variables. To explain,
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: Eddie again, why this is ridiculous, Because what they do
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: is theyre when you were doing it. They demand that
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: you find a unique stat.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Right, isn't that how that work? Can you explain how
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: that works?
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah? And we even had the assistance of computer programmers
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: at the time where we could go to them and
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: they could access some ridiculous database and they would find
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: the last time, you know, something ridiculous happened. But yeah,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: we would. You know, back when I worked in the
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: TV side of things, they would have some extraoc doing something.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Let's just say back in the day it was Steve
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Sachs was the Baseball Insider exactly, and he and he
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: would say, you know, hey, I need something that shows
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: that the White Sox bullpen is one of the best
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: bullpins in all of Major League Baseball, and then they'd
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: spin out some stat that he could throw out there
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: and you'd completely ignore some other stat that says that's
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: complete crap, but it it's just you could find any
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: stat to justify just about any other opinion. So that's
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: that's how it used to work, which is why I
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: raised an eyebrow and a lot of different stats.
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, I'm right there with you, because they
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: they'll they'll throw in that like triples or some weird
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: like in baseball, they're throwing some weird stat.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: Anyway, all right, we'll get out.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: I remember at all those podcasts type in Puck podcast
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: could be the iconic final season of the Puck Podcast.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: And you've got you've got all your your your deals
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: over there with the Locked On podcast group.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: So you've got that. Is our friend Tom Lee still there,
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: the great Tom Lee.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: He certainly is. Yeah, he was a part of me
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: getting that latest job on Locked on NHL Game Night,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: so I had to talk to him and set hello
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: to him.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: And yes, my best Tom Lee was the original boss
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: of Fox Sports Radio.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Tom Lee hired me and I guess you too, right
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Eddie of me.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: Both of us were here, yes, both of us at
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: Fox Sports, right, and I'm internally grateful to Tom Lee,
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: one of the great broadcast minds out there.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: So anyway, all right, thanks Eddie, appreciate it.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Thank you Ben, and thank you all of the people
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: out there in Benn mallor Land. I don't care. I'm leaving. Goodbye.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: Gotta murder, I gotta go.
