  a

  Yankee
• 2:43
  fan,
• 2:44
  you
• 2:44
  know,
• 2:44
  when
• 2:45
  I
• 2:45
  grew
• 2:45
  up
• 2:45
  with
• 2:45
  the
• 2:45
  Yankees
• 2:47
  in
• 2:47
  the
• 2:47
  late
• 2:48
  mid-60s
• 2:49
  because
• 2:49
  I
• 2:49
  was
• 2:49
  born,
• 2:50
  I'm
• 2:50
  53,
• 2:51
  so
• 2:51
  I
• 2:51
  was
• 2:52
  a
• 2:52
  big
• 2:52
  Yankee
• 2:52
  fan
• 2:54
  with
• 2:54
  the
• 2:55
  what
• 2:55
  they
• 2:55
  call
• 2:55
  the
• 2:56
  harlot
• 2:56
  clock
• 2:56
  era
• 2:57
  in
• 2:57
  my
• 2:57
  80s,
• 2:58
  you
• 2:59
  know.
• 2:59
  And
• 3:00
  when
• 3:00
  the
• 3:00
  Yankees
• 3:01
  finished
• 3:01
  up
• 3:01
  with
• 3:02
  their
• 3:02
  World
• 3:03
  Series
• 3:03
  time,
• 3:04
  I
• 3:04
  was
• 3:04
  still
• 3:04
  young.
• 3:05
  I
• 3:06
  think
• 3:06
  their

  last
• 3:06
  year
• 3:06
  was
• 3:07
  like
• 3:07
  65
• 3:07
  or
• 3:08
  60.
• 3:08
  And
• 3:08
  after
• 3:08
  that
• 3:09
  they
• 3:09
  went
• 3:09
  on
• 3:09
  a
• 3:09
  real,
• 3:10
  real
• 3:11
  drought,
• 3:12
  I
• 3:13
  recall.
• 3:15
  Oh

• 3:16
  when

  Red
• 3:16
  Sox
• 3:17
  and
• 3:17
  the
• 3:17
  Orioles
• 3:17
  and
• 3:18
  the
• 3:18
  Twins,
• 3:18
  all
• 3:18
  those
• 3:18
  teams
• 3:19
  took
• 3:19
  over
• 3:19
  and
• 3:19
  they,
• 3:19
  and
• 3:20
  they
• 3:20
  just
• 3:20
  beat
• 3:20
  the
• 3:20
  Yankees
• 3:21
  up,
• 3:21
  you
• 3:21

  night
• 4:20
  there,
• 4:21
  hung
• 4:21
  out.
• 4:21
  They
• 4:21
  were
• 4:22
  normal
• 4:22
  people,
• 4:22
  they
• 4:22
  were
• 4:22
  just
• 4:23
  good
• 4:23
  people,
• 4:23
  you

• 4:23
  Right,

• 4:24
  Yeah,
• 4:24
  genuine
• 4:25
  people.
• 4:25
  People
• 4:26
  think
• 4:26
  it
• 4:26
  was
• 4:26
  a
• 4:26
  big,
• 4:27
  you
• 4:27
  know,
• 4:27
  orgy
• 4:28
  like
• 4:28
  scene,
• 4:29
  but
• 4:29
  no,
• 4:29
  that
• 4:30
  wasn't
• 4:30
  it
• 4:30
  at
• 4:31
  all.
• 4:31
  Yeah,
• 4:32
  I
• 4:32
  didn't
• 4:33
  go
• 4:33
  there,
• 4:33
  but
• 4:35
  I
• 4:35
  didn't
• 4:36
  delve
• 4:36
  too
• 4:36
  deep
• 4:36
  into
• 4:36
  their
• 4:37
  personal
• 4:37
  lives.
• 4:37
  Sure.
• 4:37
  They
• 4:38
  were
• 4:38
  just
• 4:38
  good
• 4:38
  men.
• 4:38
  Good

  Great

  Montefusco

  pitched
• 4:53
  a
• 4:54

  shutout.
• 4:56
  The

• 4:58
  there
• 4:58
  was
• 4:58

  You

  quite
• 5:25
  upset
• 5:26
  about
• 5:26
  the

  Randy.
• 5:28
  Yes,

• 5:30
  Randy,
• 5:31
  you

  time
• 5:32
  ago

  now,
• 5:33
  but
• 5:33
  Randy
• 5:34
  and
• 5:35
  then
• 5:35
  days,
• 5:35
  he
• 5:35
  was
• 5:35
  really
• 5:36
  very,
• 5:36
  very
• 5:36
  nice
• 5:37
  to
• 5:37
  me.
• 5:38
  I
• 5:38
  was
• 5:38
  a
• 5:38
  young,
• 5:38
  I
• 5:39
  was
• 5:39
  a
• 5:39
  young
• 5:39
  naive
• 5:40
  rookie,
• 5:40
  21
• 5:41
  years
• 5:41
  old.
• 5:42
  And
• 5:43
  you
• 5:43
  know,
• 5:43
  I
• 5:44
  deserved
• 5:44
  a
• 5:44
  lot
• 5:44
  of
• 5:45
  rebuke
• 5:45
  back
• 5:46
  in
• 5:46
  those
• 5:46
  days.
• 5:47
  I
• 5:47
  didn't,
• 5:47
  you
• 5:47
  know,
• 5:47
  I
• 5:47
  was
• 5:47
  just.
• 5:48
  But
• 5:48
  he
• 5:48
  was
• 5:48
  so
• 5:48
  nice,
• 5:49
  he
• 5:49
  was
• 5:49
  so
• 5:50
  genuine
• 5:51
  and
• 5:51
  I
• 5:52
  got
• 5:52
  to
• 5:52
  know
• 5:52
  him
• 5:52
  really,
• 5:53
  really
• 5:53
  well.
• 5:53
  Spent
• 5:54
  a
• 5:54
  lot
• 5:54
  of
• 5:54
  time
• 5:54
  in
• 5:54
  his
• 5:54
  house.
• 5:55
  And
• 5:56
  when
• 5:56
  I
• 5:56
  finally
• 5:57
  passed
• 5:57
  away
• 5:57
  this
• 5:57
  week
• 5:57
  and
• 5:58
  we
• 5:58
  lost
• 5:58
  also
• 5:58
  Mark
• 5:58
  Hill,
• 5:59
  Mark
• 5:59
  was
• 6:00
  on
• 6:00
  that
• 6:01
  team,
• 6:01
  too.
• 6:01
  Mark
• 6:01
  was
• 6:01
  a
• 6:02
  catcher,
• 6:02
  and
• 6:02
  we
• 6:03
  were
• 6:03
  both
• 6:03
  rookies
• 6:03
  that
• 6:04
  year.
• 6:04
  But
• 6:06
  Randy,
• 6:07
  when
• 6:07
  I
• 6:07
  found
• 6:07
  out
• 6:07
  about
• 6:08
  that,
• 6:08
  I
• 6:08
  just
• 6:08
  broke
• 6:08
  my
• 6:08
  heart.
• 6:09
  Broke
• 6:09
  my
• 6:09
  heart.
• 6:10
  Broke
• 6:10
  my
• 6:10
  heart.
• 6:10
  For
• 6:11
  people
• 6:11
  that
• 6:11
  don't
• 6:11
  know,
• 6:12
  Randy
• 6:12
  Moffett,
• 6:13
  the
• 6:13
  Giants
• 6:14
  pitcher,
• 6:14
  passed
• 6:15
  away
• 6:15
  this
• 6:15
  week.
• 6:16
  And
• 6:16
  people
• 6:16
  may
• 6:17
  not
• 6:17
  know
• 6:17
  he
• 6:17
  was
• 6:17
  the
• 6:19
  younger
• 6:19
  brother
• 6:20
  of
• 6:20
  Billie
• 6:21
  Jean
• 6:21
  King,
• 6:22
  the
• 6:22
  tennis
• 6:23
  legend.
• 6:24
  And
• 6:24
  Randy
• 6:25
  will
• 6:25
  be
• 6:25
  missed.
• 6:26
  That's
• 6:26
  for
• 6:26
  sure.
• 6:27
  He
• 6:27
  will
• 6:27
  be
• 6:27
  missed.
• 6:28
  I
• 6:28
  saw
• 6:28
  a
• 6:28
  picture
• 6:29
  of
• 6:29
  him
• 6:30
  recently
• 6:31
  and
• 6:31
  he
• 6:31
  was
• 6:32
  at
• 6:32
  a
• 6:32
  Giants
• 6:33
  Old
• 6:33
  Timers
• 6:33
  game
• 6:34
  in
• 6:34
  California.
• 6:35
  And
• 6:35
  I
• 6:35
  saw
• 6:35
  him
• 6:35
  standing
• 6:36
  in
• 6:36
  a
• 6:36
  picture
• 6:36
  with
• 6:37
  the
• 6:37
  cap.
• 6:38
  And
• 6:38
  I
• 6:38
  looked
• 6:38
  at
• 6:39
  him
• 6:39
  and
• 6:39
  he
• 6:39
  had
• 6:39
  a
• 6:39
  cane.
• 6:40
  He
• 6:40
  looked
• 6:40
  really,
• 6:41
  really
• 6:41
  frail.
• 6:42
  It
• 6:42
  looked
• 6:42
  like
• 6:42
  he
• 6:42
  had
• 6:43
  shrunk
• 6:43
  a
• 6:43
  foot.
• 6:44
  And
• 6:45
  I
• 6:45
  just
• 6:45
  shook
• 6:45
  my
• 6:45
  head.
• 6:46
  I
• 6:46
  said,
• 6:46
  oh,
• 6:46
  my
• 6:46
  goodness,
• 6:47
  look
• 6:47
  at

  remember
• 6:49
  these
• 6:49
  guys
• 6:49
  back
• 6:49
  in
• 6:49
  those
• 6:50
  days
• 6:50
  as
• 6:50
  they
• 6:50
  were.
• 6:51
  I
• 6:52
  can't
• 6:52
  look
• 6:52
  at
• 6:52
  these
• 6:52
  guys
• 6:53
  today
• 6:53
  and
• 6:53
  see
• 6:54
  them
• 6:54
  as
• 6:54
  they
• 6:54
  are.
• 6:55
  I
• 6:55
  just
• 6:55
  cannot.
• 6:56
  I
• 6:56
  can't
• 6:56
  face
• 6:56
  it.
• 6:57
  I
• 6:57
  saw
• 6:57
  a
• 6:58
  picture
• 6:58
  of.
• 6:59
  Recently,
• 6:59
  I
• 6:59
  saw
• 6:59
  a
• 7:00
  picture
• 7:00
  of
• 7:00
  Dave
• 7:01
  Parker
• 7:02

• 7:03
  I
• 7:03
  know
• 7:03
  Dave
• 7:04
  passed
• 7:04
  away.
• 7:05
  I

  see
• 7:06
  Dave
• 7:06
  Parker
• 7:07
  in
• 7:07
  a
• 7:07
  wheelchair.
• 7:08
  I
• 7:08
  see
• 7:08
  him
• 7:08
  as
• 7:08
  a
• 7:08
  gladiator
• 7:09
  on
• 7:09
  the
• 7:09
  field.
• 7:09
  He's
• 7:10
  in
• 7:10
  bad
• 7:10
  shape
• 7:10
  towards
• 7:11
  the
• 7:11
  end.
• 7:11
  Oh,

• 7:12
  God.
• 7:12
  Yeah,
• 7:13
  yeah,
• 7:14
  A
• 7:14
  real
• 7:14
  shame.
• 7:15
  Another
• 7:15
  guy,
• 7:17
  I'm
• 7:17
  pretty
• 7:17
  sure,
• 7:17
  you
• 7:18
  know
• 7:18
  this
• 7:18
  guy
• 7:19
  during
• 7:19
  the
• 7:19
  Mets
• 7:20
  Old
• 7:20
  Timers
• 7:21
  game
• 7:21
  a
• 7:21
  couple
• 7:21
  of
• 7:21
  years
• 7:22
  ago,
• 7:23
  the
• 7:23
  dude,
• 7:24
  John
• 7:24
  Stearns,
• 7:26
  cancer.
• 7:27
  And
• 7:27
  he,
• 7:27
  he
• 7:27
  was
• 7:27
  a
• 7:28
  shadow
• 7:29
  of
• 7:29
  his
• 7:29
  former
• 7:30
  self.
• 7:30
  He
• 7:30
  looked
• 7:31
  terrible
• 7:31
  and
• 7:32
  he.
• 7:32
  I
• 7:32
  did
• 7:32
  not
• 7:33
  know
• 7:33
  that.
• 7:33
  Yeah,
• 7:33
  he
• 7:34
  passed
• 7:34
  a
• 7:34
  few
• 7:34
  months
• 7:35
  after
• 7:35
  that.
• 7:35
  He
• 7:35
  was,
• 7:36
  he.
• 7:36
  He
• 7:36
  had
• 7:36
  passed
• 7:37
  away,
• 7:37
  but
• 7:38
  yeah,
• 7:39
  he
• 7:39
  looked
• 7:39
  terrible,
• 7:39
  but
• 7:40
  he
• 7:40
  was
• 7:40
  pretty
• 7:40
  heroic
• 7:41
  to
• 7:41
  come
• 7:41
  out
• 7:41
  there
• 7:42
  and
• 7:43
  show
• 7:43
  the
• 7:44
  fans
• 7:44
  that
• 7:44
  he
• 7:44
  still
• 7:45
  was
• 7:46
  around.
• 7:47
  And
• 7:48
  he
• 7:48
  did
• 7:48
  a
• 7:48
  great
• 7:48
  job.
• 7:49
  He
• 7:49
  really
• 7:50
  did.
• 7:50
  He'll
• 7:51
  be
• 7:51
  missed,
• 7:51
  too.
• 7:52
  Another
• 7:52
  great
• 7:52
  ballplayer,
• 7:53
  John
• 7:53
  Stearns.
• 7:55
  You
• 7:55
  know
• 7:55
  John
• 7:55
  Stearns.
• 7:56
  A
• 7:56
  story
• 7:56
  about
• 7:56
  John
• 7:57
  Stearns.
• 7:57
  He
• 7:58
  was
• 7:58
  a
• 7:58
  really,
• 7:58
  really
• 7:58
  good
• 7:58
  catcher.
• 7:59
  He
• 7:59
  was,
• 8:00
  I
• 8:00
  believe,
• 8:00
  a
• 8:00
  defensive
• 8:01
  back
• 8:01
  in
• 8:02
  college
• 8:02
  football,
• 8:03
  if

  I
• 8:03
  recall.
• 8:04
  He
• 8:04
  was
• 8:04
  tough.
• 8:05
  He
• 8:05
  was
• 8:05
  a
• 8:05
  tough
• 8:05
  guy.
• 8:06
  Do
• 8:06
  you
• 8:06
  know
• 8:07
  that
• 8:07
  he,
• 8:08
  he
• 8:08
  blocked
• 8:09
  home
• 8:09
  plate
• 8:09
  one
• 8:09
  night
• 8:10
  in
• 8:10
  Pittsburgh,
• 8:10
  I
• 8:10
  think
• 8:10
  it
• 8:11
  was
• 8:11
  in
• 8:11
  Pittsburgh,
• 8:11
  in
• 8:11
  New
• 8:11
  York
• 8:12
  when
• 8:12
  Dave
• 8:12
  Parker
• 8:13
  came.
• 8:13
  You
• 8:13
  know,
• 8:13
  Dave
• 8:13
  Parker
• 8:14
  was
• 8:14
  about
• 8:14
  6,
• 8:14
  5,
• 8:15
  right.
• 8:15
  And
• 8:16
  he
• 8:16
  was.
• 8:16
  He
• 8:16
  was
• 8:16
  bit
• 8:16
  of
• 8:17
  like,
• 8:17
  you
• 8:17
  know,
• 8:18
  a
• 8:19
  heavy
• 8:19
  fullback.
• 8:20
  And
• 8:21
  John
• 8:21
  Stearns
• 8:22
  held
• 8:22
  his
• 8:22
  ground
• 8:23
  and
• 8:23
  Dave
• 8:24
  Parker
• 8:24
  did
• 8:24
  not.
• 8:24
  But
• 8:25
  did
• 8:25
  not
• 8:25
  budge
• 8:25
  him.
• 8:27
  I
• 8:28
  think
• 8:28
  he
• 8:28
  broke
• 8:28
  his
• 8:28
  jaw,
• 8:29
  Pete,
• 8:29
  if
• 8:29
  I'm,
• 8:30
  if
• 8:30
  I'm
• 8:31
  remembering
• 8:31
  correctly.
• 8:32
  Yeah,
• 8:33
  yep.
• 8:33
  And
• 8:33
  there
• 8:34
  Was
• 8:34
  another
• 8:35
  incident
• 8:35
  with
• 8:36
  John
• 8:36
  Stearns.
• 8:37
  Some
• 8:38
  nut
• 8:38
  bag
• 8:38
  ran
• 8:39
  out
• 8:39
  on
• 8:39
  the
• 8:39
  field
• 8:39
  and
• 8:40
  he
• 8:40
  ran
• 8:41
  out
• 8:41
  and
• 8:41
  tackled
• 8:41
  the
• 8:42
  guy.
• 8:42
  Threw
• 8:42
  an
• 8:43
  open
• 8:43
  field,
• 8:44
  Open
• 8:44
  field
• 8:44
  tackle
• 8:45
  on
• 8:45
  the
• 8:45
  guy.
• 8:46
  Yeah.
• 8:46
  Took
• 8:46
  him
• 8:46
  right
• 8:46
  there.
• 8:47
  I
• 8:47
  don't
• 8:47
  remember
• 8:47
  that.
• 8:48
  I
• 8:48
  remember.
• 8:49
  I.
• 8:49
  Yeah,
• 8:49
  this
• 8:50
  Sterns
• 8:51
  was
• 8:51
  something.
• 8:51
  I
• 8:52
  do
• 8:52
  remember
• 8:52
  one
• 8:52
  time
• 8:53
  when
• 8:53
  he
• 8:53
  got
• 8:53
  a
• 8:53
  very,
• 8:53
  very
• 8:54
  bad
• 8:54
  injury.
• 8:55
  He
• 8:55
  took
• 8:55
  a
• 8:55
  foul
• 8:56
  tip
• 8:56
  off
• 8:57
  a
• 8:57
  bat
• 8:58
  and
• 8:58
  the
• 8:58
  ball,
• 9:00
  his
• 9:00
  hand
• 9:01
  was
• 9:01
  behind
• 9:01
  his
• 9:01
  catcher's
• 9:02
  bit.
• 9:02
  Yeah.
• 9:02
  But
• 9:03
  somehow
• 9:03
  his
• 9:04
  finger
• 9:04
  got
• 9:05
  away
• 9:05
  from
• 9:05
  the
• 9:05
  catcher's
• 9:06
  bit
• 9:07
  and
• 9:07
  the
• 9:07
  ball
• 9:08
  hit
• 9:08
  his
• 9:09
  finger.
• 9:09
  Yeah,
• 9:10
  I
• 9:10
  think
• 9:10
  his
• 9:11
  index
• 9:11
  finger.
• 9:12
  And
• 9:12
  his
• 9:13
  career
• 9:13
  was
• 9:13
  over
• 9:13
  after
• 9:13
  that.
• 9:14
  I
• 9:14
  remember
• 9:14
  he
• 9:14
  had
• 9:14
  a
• 9:14
  big
• 9:15
  rod
• 9:15
  coming
• 9:15
  out
• 9:15
  of
• 9:16
  his.
• 9:16
  The
• 9:16
  bone
• 9:16
  out
• 9:16
  of
• 9:17
  his
• 9:17
  finger.
• 9:17
  He
• 9:18
  was
• 9:18
  done
• 9:18
  for
• 9:18
  after
• 9:19
  that.
• 9:19
  That's
• 9:19
  how.
• 9:19
  It's
• 9:20
  pretty
• 9:20
  much
• 9:20
  how
• 9:20
  his
• 9:21
  career
• 9:21
  ended.
• 9:21
  He
• 9:22
  could
• 9:22
  not
• 9:22
  come
• 9:22
  back
• 9:23
  from
• 9:23
  that.
• 9:23
  His
• 9:24
  finger
• 9:24
  got
• 9:24
  smashed
• 9:25
  up
• 9:25
  pretty,
• 9:25
  pretty
• 9:26
  bad.
• 9:26
  He
• 9:26
  played
• 9:26
  and
• 9:27
  that's
• 9:27
  how
• 9:27
  I.
• 9:27
  I
• 9:28
  think
• 9:28
  that
• 9:28
  was
• 9:28
  like
• 9:28
  an
• 9:28
  81
• 9:29
  or
• 9:29
  something
• 9:29
  like
• 9:29
  that.
• 9:29
  And
• 9:30
  he
• 9:30
  couldn't
• 9:30
  even
• 9:30
  look
• 9:30
  at
• 9:30
  it.
• 9:30
  It's
• 9:31
  all
• 9:31
  ugly.
• 9:31
  Oh,
• 9:32
  but
• 9:32
  he,
• 9:33
  he
• 9:33
  was
• 9:33
  a
• 9:33
  tough
• 9:33
  guy.
• 9:34
  Tough.
• 9:34
  All
• 9:34
  those
• 9:35
  guys
• 9:35
  were
• 9:35
  tough.
• 9:35
  Played
• 9:35
  on
• 9:36
  some
• 9:36
  terrible
• 9:36
  Met
• 9:37
  teams
• 9:37
  too.
• 9:37
  He's
• 9:38
  one
• 9:38
  of
• 9:38
  the
• 9:38
  few
• 9:38
  bright
• 9:39
  spots
• 9:39
  on
• 9:39
  some
• 9:39
  of
• 9:40
  those
• 9:40
  Met
• 9:40
  ball
• 9:40
  clubs.
• 9:41
  He
• 9:41
  made
• 9:41
  the
• 9:41
  All
• 9:41
  Star
• 9:42
  team
• 9:42

• 9:43
  He
• 9:43
  did.

  the
• 9:57

• 9:57
  hitless
• 9:58

  And

• 10:05
  four
• 10:05
  outs

  away
• 10:06
  from

• 10:13
  But
• 10:13
  there
• 10:13
  was
• 10:13
  an
• 10:13
  incident.
• 10:14
  I
• 10:14
  don't
• 10:15
  know
• 10:15
  if
• 10:15

  the

  first
• 10:17
  base.
• 10:18
  Of
• 10:18
  course
• 10:18
  I
• 10:19
  remember
• 10:19
  the
• 10:19
  incident.
• 10:21
  It
• 10:22
  was
• 10:22
  a
• 10:22
  Sunday
• 10:22
  afternoon.
• 10:23
  Yeah.

  My

  fact,
• 10:25
  my

  from
• 10:29
  New

  York
• 10:30
  all
• 10:30
  the
• 10:30
  way
• 10:30
  to
• 10:30
  Atlanta.
• 10:31
  Yeah,
• 10:31
  it
• 10:32
  was
• 10:32
  a
• 10:32
  weekend.
• 10:32
  It
• 10:32
  was
• 10:32
  a
• 10:32
  weekend.
• 10:33
  It
• 10:33
  was
• 10:33
  a
• 10:33
  very,
• 10:33
  very
• 10:34
  hot
• 10:34
  August.
• 10:35
  It
• 10:35
  was
• 10:35
  in
• 10:35
  August.
• 10:35
  I
• 10:36
  believe
• 10:36
  it
• 10:36
  was
• 10:36
  hot.
• 10:36
  I
• 10:37
  remember
• 10:37
  it
• 10:37
  was
• 10:37
  so
• 10:37
  hot.
• 10:38
  And
• 10:39
  I
• 10:39
  had
• 10:39
  a
• 10:40
  no

• 10:42
  into
• 10:42
  da
• 10:42
  fitting.
• 10:44
  And
• 10:44
  I
• 10:44
  believe
• 10:45
  something.
• 10:46
  There
• 10:47
  was
• 10:47
  a
• 10:47
  catcher
• 10:48
  named
• 10:48
  Vic
• 10:48
  Correll.
• 10:49
  Right.
• 10:49
  Remember
• 10:49
  Vic?
• 10:50
  Yes,
• 10:50
  I
• 10:50
  walked.
• 10:51
  Rick
• 10:51
  Carell
• 10:52
  walked
• 10:54
  and
• 10:54
  he's
• 10:54
  the
• 10:54
  same
• 10:54
  guy
• 10:55
  I
• 10:55
  gave
• 10:55
  up
• 10:55
  my
• 10:55
  very
• 10:55
  first
• 10:56
  home
• 10:56
  run
• 10:56
  to.
• 10:58
  Vic
• 10:58
  was
• 10:58
  a
• 10:59
  good
• 10:59
  catcher
• 10:59
  for
• 10:59
  the
• 10:59
  Braves
• 11:00
  and
• 11:01
  he
• 11:01
  happened
• 11:02
  to
• 11:02
  get.
• 11:02
  I
• 11:02
  walked
• 11:03
  in
• 11:04
  and
• 11:04
  we
• 11:04
  had

  The

• 11:20
  used
• 11:20
  to
• 11:20
  do
• 11:21
  a

  good
• 11:21
  imitation

  of
• 11:23
  Willie
• 11:24
  going
• 11:24
  around
• 11:24
  the

  base.
• 11:26
  Willie
• 11:26
  had
• 11:26
  a
• 11:26
  habit
• 11:27
  goofing
• 11:27
  around
• 11:27
  with
• 11:27
  the
• 11:28
  first
• 11:28

  the
• 11:29
  guy
• 11:30
  in
• 11:30
  first
• 11:30
  base
• 11:30
  took
• 11:31
  a
• 11:31
  lead.
• 11:31
  Willie
• 11:31
  fooled
• 11:32
  around
• 11:32
  with
• 11:32
  him
• 11:32
  and
• 11:32
  he
• 11:32
  would
• 11:33
  take
• 11:33
  his
• 11:33
  glove
• 11:33
  and
• 11:33
  pat
• 11:34
  him
• 11:34
  on
• 11:34
  the
• 11:34
  rear
• 11:35
  end.
• 11:35
  Pat
• 11:35
  him
• 11:35
  on
• 11:35
  the
• 11:35
  rear
• 11:36
  end,
• 11:36
  goof
• 11:36
  around
• 11:36
  with
• 11:36
  him.
• 11:37
  I
• 11:38
  don't
• 11:38
  know
• 11:38
  what
• 11:38
  he
• 11:38
  was
• 11:38
  doing
• 11:38
  that
• 11:39
  for,
• 11:39
  and
• 11:41
  I
• 11:41
  don't

  But
• 11:42
  somehow
• 11:43
  it
• 11:43
  got
• 11:44
  to
• 11:44
  Vic
• 11:44
  Correll
• 11:45
  and
• 11:46
  Vic
• 11:46
  Correll
• 11:47
  turned
• 11:48
  around
• 11:48
  and
• 11:48
  threw
• 11:48
  a
• 11:48
  punch
• 11:49
  at
• 11:49
  him.
• 11:50
  If
• 11:50
  I
• 11:51
  remember,
• 11:52
  I
• 11:52
  think
• 11:52
  it
• 11:52
  was
• 11:53
  something
• 11:53
  like
• 11:53
  that.
• 11:53
  And
• 11:54
  next
• 11:54
  thing
• 11:54
  you
• 11:54
  know,
• 11:54
  there
• 11:55
  was.
• 11:55
  There
• 11:55
  was
• 11:55
  a,
• 11:55
  you
• 11:55
  know,
• 11:56
  a
• 11:56
  brawl
• 11:56
  at
• 11:56
  first
• 11:57
  base.
• 11:57
  Yeah.
• 11:58
  And
• 11:59
  here
• 11:59
  I
• 11:59
  am
• 11:59
  on
• 12:00
  the
• 12:00
  mound
• 12:00
  and
• 12:00
  I'm
• 12:00
  going,
• 12:00
  what
• 12:01
  in
• 12:01
  the
• 12:01
  world's
• 12:01
  going
• 12:01
  on?
• 12:02
  It
• 12:02
  was
• 12:02
  like
• 12:02
  a
• 12:02
  twilight
• 12:03
  zone,
• 12:03
  you
• 12:03
  know.
• 12:04
  You
• 12:04
  know,
• 12:05
  and
• 12:06
  both
• 12:06
  benches
• 12:07
  cleared,
• 12:08
  the
• 12:08
  bullpen's
• 12:09
  cleared,
• 12:09
  everybody's
• 12:09
  on
• 12:10
  the
• 12:10
  field.
• 12:10
  There
• 12:11
  was
• 12:11
  really
• 12:11
  no
• 12:11
  fight.
• 12:12
  But
• 12:13
  the
• 12:13
  umpires
• 12:14
  came,
• 12:14
  the
• 12:14
  coaches
• 12:14
  came,
• 12:15
  they
• 12:15
  broke
• 12:15
  everything
• 12:15
  up.
• 12:15
  And
• 12:16
  it
• 12:16
  lasted
• 12:16
  about
• 12:17
  maybe
• 12:17
  seven
• 12:17
  or
• 12:18
  eight
• 12:18
  minutes,
• 12:18
  you
• 12:19
  know.
• 12:19
  Right.
• 12:21
  I
• 12:21
  said,
• 12:21
  okay,
• 12:22
  so
• 12:22
  in
• 12:22
  the
• 12:22
  meantime,
• 12:23
  what
• 12:23
  I
• 12:23
  didn't
• 12:23
  do,
• 12:23
  I
• 12:24
  didn't
• 12:24
  keep
• 12:24
  throwing.
• 12:24
  I
• 12:25
  didn't
• 12:25
  take
• 12:25
  a
• 12:25
  few
• 12:25
  warm
• 12:25
  up
• 12:26
  throw,
• 12:26
  you
• 12:26
  know,
• 12:27
  it
• 12:27
  was
• 12:27
  enough.
• 12:27
  It
• 12:28
  was
• 12:28
  long
• 12:28
  enough
• 12:28
  to
• 12:28
  where
• 12:29
  I
• 12:29
  should
• 12:29
  have
• 12:29
  gotten
• 12:29
  a
• 12:29
  couple
• 12:29
  of
• 12:30
  balls
• 12:30
  and
• 12:30
  throw
• 12:30
  the
• 12:30
  home
• 12:31
  plate,
• 12:31
  you
• 12:31
  know.
• 12:31
  Right.
• 12:32
  But
• 12:32
  so
• 12:33
  I
• 12:33
  went
• 12:34
  back
• 12:34
  on
• 12:34
  the
• 12:34
  mound
• 12:34
  and
• 12:34
  I'm
• 12:34
  going,
• 12:35
  okay,
• 12:36
  big
• 12:36
  deal.
• 12:37
  And
• 12:39
  the
• 12:39
  first
• 12:39
  hitter
• 12:40
  up
• 12:40
  there
• 12:40
  after
• 12:41
  that
• 12:41
  was
• 12:41
  a
• 12:41
  guy
• 12:42
  named
• 12:42
  Rod
• 12:42
  Gilbreth
• 12:43
  who
• 12:43
  was
• 12:43
  a
• 12:43
  decent
• 12:44
  infielder
• 12:44
  with
• 12:45
  the
• 12:45
  Braves.
• 12:46
  I
• 12:46
  threw
• 12:46
  a
• 12:46
  pitch,
• 12:47
  it
• 12:47
  was
• 12:47
  a
• 12:47
  fastball,
• 12:48
  I
• 12:48
  guess
• 12:48
  he
• 12:48
  hit
• 12:48
  a
• 12:48
  line
• 12:48
  drive.
• 12:49
  Basic.
• 12:49
  There
• 12:49
  you
• 12:50
  go.
• 12:51
  That
• 12:51
  was
• 12:51
  the
• 12:52
  end
• 12:52
  of
• 12:52
  that.
• 12:52
  Yeah,
• 12:53
  that
• 12:53
  was
• 12:53
  the
• 12:53
  end
• 12:53
  of
• 12:54
  that.
• 12:54
  Another
• 12:54
  great.
• 12:55
  Listen,
• 12:56
  what
• 12:56
  am
• 12:56
  I
• 12:56
  going
• 12:56
  to
• 12:56
  be
• 12:56
  complaining
• 12:57
  about,
• 12:57
  you
• 12:57
  know,
• 12:57
  here
• 12:57
  I
• 12:57
  am,
• 12:58
  21
• 12:58
  years
• 12:58
  old,
• 12:59
  throwing
• 12:59
  them.
• 12:59
  No
• 12:59
  hitter.
• 13:00
  Almost.
• 13:00
  No
• 13:00
  hitter.
• 13:01
  Almost.
• 13:01
  I
• 13:01
  got
• 13:01
  the
• 13:01
  win.
• 13:03
  I.
• 13:03
  I'm
• 13:03
  not
• 13:04
  going
• 13:04
  to
• 13:04
  complain
• 13:04
  about.
• 13:04
  I
• 13:05
  wasn't
• 13:05
  mad.
• 13:05
  I
• 13:06
  don't,
• 13:06
  I
• 13:06
  don't
• 13:06
  even
• 13:07
  remember
• 13:07
  anybody.
• 13:08
  I
• 13:08
  don't
• 13:08
  even
• 13:08
  remember
• 13:08
  anybody
• 13:09
  apologizing
• 13:10
  to
• 13:10
  me.
• 13:10
  We

  just,
• 13:11
  we
• 13:11
  got
• 13:11
  a
• 13:11
  win
• 13:12
  and
• 13:12
  after
• 13:12
  the
• 13:12
  game
• 13:13
  we
• 13:13
  flew
• 13:13
  all
• 13:13
  the
• 13:13
  way
• 13:13
  back
• 13:13
  home
• 13:14
  to
• 13:14
  San
• 13:14
  Francisco.
• 13:15
  I
• 13:15
  didn't
• 13:16
  really.
• 13:16
  I
• 13:16
  didn't
• 13:17
  really
• 13:17
  didn't
• 13:18
  affect
• 13:18
  me,
• 13:18
  you
• 13:19
  know.
• 13:19
  No,
• 13:19
  I
• 13:20
  was
• 13:20
  just
• 13:20
  happy
• 13:20
  to.
• 13:20
  I
• 13:20
  was

  happy

• 13:22
  team
• 13:23
  in
• 13:23
  a
• 13:23
  starting
• 13:23
  rotation.
• 13:24
  That's
• 13:24
  the
• 13:24
  way
• 13:24
  it
• 13:25
  should
• 13:25
  be.
• 13:25
  Pete.
• 13:25
  Yeah.
• 13:26
  Be
• 13:26
  thankful
• 13:26
  for
• 13:27
  where

  are.
• 13:28
  We
• 13:28
  got
• 13:28
  Pete
• 13:29
  Falcone
• 13:29
  with

  us

  tonight
• 13:30
  on
• 13:30
  Sports
• 13:30
  Talk,
• 13:31
  New
• 13:31
  York.
• 13:31
  Yeah,
• 13:32
  you're
• 13:32
  right.
• 13:32
  You
• 13:33
  were
• 13:33
  lucky
• 13:33
  to
• 13:33
  be
• 13:34
  there
• 13:34
  and
• 13:35
  you
• 13:36
  felt
• 13:36
  your
• 13:36
  gratitude
• 13:37
  and
• 13:37
  that's
• 13:38
  all
• 13:38
  that
• 13:38
  matters.
• 13:39
  That's
• 13:40
  right.
• 13:40
  What
• 13:40
  can
• 13:40
  I
• 13:40
  say?
• 13:41
  You
• 13:41
  come
• 13:42
  to
• 13:42
  the
• 13:42
  Mets
• 13:43
  from
• 13:43
  St.
• 13:43
  Louis.
• 13:44
  After
• 13:44
  your
• 13:44
  time
• 13:44
  in
• 13:45
  St.
• 13:45
  Louis,
• 13:46
  come
• 13:46
  to
• 13:46
  the
• 13:47
  Mets
• 13:47
  for
• 13:47
  Tom
• 13:48
  Grieve
• 13:48
  and
• 13:49
  a
• 13:49
  guy
• 13:49
  by
• 13:49
  the
• 13:49
  name
• 13:50
  of
• 13:50
  Kim
• 13:50
  Seaman.
• 13:51
  I
• 13:52
  guess
• 13:52
  he's
• 13:52
  lucky
• 13:53
  he
• 13:53
  didn't
• 13:53
  stick
• 13:53
  around
• 13:54
  with
• 13:54
  the
• 13:54
  Mets
• 13:54
  because
• 13:54
  he
• 13:55
  would
• 13:55
  have
• 13:55
  had
• 13:55
  a
• 13:55
  hard
• 13:55
  time
• 13:56
  with
• 13:56
  that
• 13:56
  name.
• 13:56
  Sounds
• 13:57
  like
• 13:57
  a
• 13:57
  porno
• 13:58
  star.
• 13:59
  Ken
• 13:59
  Seaman.
• 14:00
  Yeah,
• 14:00
  I
• 14:00
  knew
• 14:01
  Ken.
• 14:02
  I
• 14:02
  knew
• 14:02
  him.
• 14:02
  I
• 14:03
  think
• 14:03
  he
• 14:03
  might
• 14:03
  have
• 14:03
  went
• 14:03
  to
• 14:03
  aaa.
• 14:04
  Yeah.
• 14:06
  Tom
• 14:07
  Greave.
• 14:07
  I
• 14:08
  got
• 14:08
  to
• 14:08
  know
• 14:08
  him
• 14:08
  pretty
• 14:09
  well
• 14:09
  years
• 14:10
  later
• 14:11
  when
• 14:11
  I
• 14:11
  was
• 14:11
  doing
• 14:11
  replay
• 14:12
  with
• 14:12
  the
• 14:12
  Major
• 14:13
  League
• 14:13
  Baseball.
• 14:13
  I
• 14:13
  was
• 14:14
  doing
• 14:14
  replay,
• 14:14
  so
• 14:15
  I'd
• 14:15
  go
• 14:15
  to
• 14:15
  the
• 14:15
  Rangers.
• 14:15
  I
• 14:16
  was
• 14:16
  in
• 14:16
  a
• 14:16
  lot
• 14:16
  of
• 14:16
  Ranger
• 14:17
  games
• 14:17
  doing
• 14:17
  replay
• 14:18
  on
• 14:18
  the
• 14:18
  field.
• 14:18
  And
• 14:19
  Tom
• 14:19
  was
• 14:20
  the
• 14:20
  head
• 14:20
  announcer
• 14:20
  for
• 14:21
  the
• 14:21
  Texas
• 14:21
  Rangers.
• 14:22
  Right.
• 14:23
  And
• 14:23
  yeah,
• 14:24
  we
• 14:24
  would
• 14:24
  talk
• 14:25
  all
• 14:25
  the
• 14:25
  time
• 14:25
  about
• 14:26
  those
• 14:26
  days.
• 14:27
  He
• 14:27
  was
• 14:28
  a
• 14:28
  really
• 14:28
  good
• 14:28
  announcer.
• 14:29
  He
• 14:29
  might
• 14:29
  still
• 14:29
  be
• 14:29
  doing
• 14:30
  it,
• 14:30
  I
• 14:30
  don't
• 14:30
  know.
• 14:31
  I
• 14:31
  lost
• 14:31
  contact.
• 14:32
  Yeah.
• 14:33
  But
• 14:33
  that
• 14:33
  was
• 14:33
  a
• 14:33
  big
• 14:34
  transition.
• 14:35
  I
• 14:36
  got
• 14:36
  traded
• 14:36
  and
• 14:38
  I
• 14:38
  remember
• 14:39
  getting
• 14:39
  over
• 14:40
  there
• 14:40
  because
• 14:40
  I
• 14:40
  had
• 14:40
  come
• 14:41
  back
• 14:41
  from
• 14:41
  Puerto
• 14:41
  Rico.
• 14:42
  I
• 14:42
  played
• 14:42
  baseball
• 14:43
  in
• 14:43
  Puerto
• 14:43
  Rico
• 14:43
  that
• 14:43
  winter
• 14:44
  and
• 14:44
  it
• 14:44
  didn't
• 14:44
  do
• 14:44
  well.
• 14:45
  I
• 14:45
  was
• 14:45
  really
• 14:45
  into
• 14:46
  doldrums
• 14:46
  and
• 14:47
  really
• 14:47
  having
• 14:48
  a
• 14:48
  lot
• 14:48
  of
• 14:48
  issues
• 14:48
  with
• 14:48
  confidence.
• 14:49
  And
• 14:50
  I
• 14:50
  found
• 14:50
  out
• 14:50
  I
• 14:50
  got
• 14:50
  trades
• 14:51
  in
• 14:51
  the
• 14:51
  Mets,
• 14:51
  and
• 14:52
  next
• 14:53
  thing
• 14:53
  you
• 14:53
  know,
• 14:53
  Lee
• 14:53
  Mazzilli
• 14:54

  Yeah.
• 17:45
  I
• 17:45
  don't
• 17:45
  know
• 17:46
  why.
• 17:46
  There
• 17:46
  was
• 17:47
  nobody
• 17:47
  on
• 17:47
  base,
• 17:47
  if
• 17:47
  I
• 17:48

• 17:48
  I
• 17:48
  don't
• 17:48
  remember
• 17:48
  what
• 17:49
  happened.
• 17:49
  But
• 17:50
  after
• 17:50
  that,
• 17:51
  everybody's
• 17:52
  world,
• 17:52
  everybody's
• 17:53
  coming
• 17:53
  up
• 17:53
  to
• 17:53
  me,
• 17:53
  you
• 17:54
  know,
• 17:54
  shaking
• 17:54
  my
• 17:54
  hand,
• 17:55
  everything,
• 17:55
  and
• 17:56
  Doug
• 17:56
  Harvey
• 17:56
  comes
• 17:56
  out.
• 17:57
  No,
• 17:57
  no,
• 17:57
  no,
• 17:57
  no.
• 17:57
  We
• 17:58
  have.
• 17:58
  Someone
• 17:58
  called
• 17:58
  time
• 17:58
  out.
• 17:59
  Frank
• 17:59
  called
• 17:59
  timeout.
• 18:00
  Right.
• 18:00
  So,
• 18:01
  okay,
• 18:01
  so
• 18:02
  I
• 18:02
  came
• 18:02
  out
• 18:03
  of
• 18:03
  the
• 18:03
  dugout
• 18:04
  and
• 18:05
  Joe
• 18:05
  came
• 18:05
  out,
• 18:06
  and
• 18:06
  suddenly,
• 18:06
  you
• 18:06
  know,
• 18:06
  they
• 18:06
  had
• 18:07
  an
• 18:07
  argument.
• 18:07
  I
• 18:07
  think
• 18:08
  that.
• 18:08
  I
• 18:08
  think
• 18:08
  they
• 18:08
  had
• 18:08
  an
• 18:08
  argument.
• 18:09
  So
• 18:09
  I
• 18:09
  had
• 18:10
  to
• 18:10
  go
• 18:10
  back
• 18:10
  on
• 18:10
  the
• 18:10
  field,
• 18:11
  you
• 18:12
  know,
• 18:12
  and
• 18:13
  redo
• 18:13
  it
• 18:13
  all
• 18:14
  over
• 18:14
  again.
• 18:14
  Right,
• 18:15
  Jeff?
• 18:16
  Same
• 18:17
  thing.
• 18:17
  I
• 18:17
  think
• 18:17
  it
• 18:17
  was.
• 18:18
  Yeah,
• 18:18
  I
• 18:18
  think
• 18:18
  it
• 18:18
  was
• 18:18
  Jeff
• 18:19
  Leonard
• 18:19
  again,
• 18:19
  right?
• 18:20
  Yeah,
• 18:20
  he
• 18:20
  had.
• 18:20
  And
• 18:21
  so
• 18:21
  I
• 18:21
  get
• 18:21
  out
• 18:21
  in
• 18:21
  the
• 18:21
  field
• 18:23
  and
• 18:24
  pick
• 18:24
  the
• 18:24
  sign.
• 18:26
  And
• 18:27
  I
• 18:27
  remember
• 18:27
  going
• 18:28
  into
• 18:28
  my
• 18:28
  wind
• 18:29
  up,
• 18:30
  I
• 18:31
  just
• 18:31
  happened
• 18:32
  to,
• 18:32
  for
• 18:32
  some
• 18:32
  reason,
• 18:33
  look
• 18:33
  towards
• 18:34
  the
• 18:34
  Mets
• 18:34
  dugout,
• 18:36
  and
• 18:36
  Eddie
• 18:36
  Crane
• 18:37
  pool
• 18:37
  is
• 18:38
  running
• 18:38
  out
• 18:38
  of
• 18:38
  the
• 18:39
  dugout
• 18:40
  to
• 18:40
  first

• 18:43
  playing
• 18:43
  first
• 18:44
  base
• 18:44
  that
• 18:44
  night.
• 18:48
  And
• 18:49
  I

  think
• 18:49
  Jeff

• 18:50
  a
• 18:50
  ground
• 18:50
  ball
• 18:51
  to
• 18:51
  Tavares,
• 18:52
  and
• 18:52
  Tavares
• 18:53
  had
• 18:53
  nobody
• 18:53
  to
• 18:53
  throw
• 18:54
  the
• 18:54
  ball
• 18:54
  to.
• 18:54
  Amazing.
• 18:57
  Yeah.
• 18:57
  Eddie
• 18:58
  wasn't
• 18:58
  there.
• 18:58
  What's
• 18:58
  amazing,
• 19:00
  Eddie
• 19:00
  was
• 19:01
  in
• 19:01
  and
• 19:01
  out
• 19:01
  of
• 19:01
  that.
• 19:01
  You
• 19:01
  know,
• 19:01
  he
• 19:01
  was
• 19:02
  all
• 19:02
  this
• 19:02
  kind
• 19:02
  of
• 19:02
  guys

  game
• 19:03
  is
• 19:03
  over.
• 19:04
  I'm
• 19:04
  gone.
• 19:05
  So
• 19:05
  he
• 19:05
  was
• 19:05
  running
• 19:06
  out.
• 19:07
  But
• 19:07
  the
• 19:08
  weird
• 19:08
  thing
• 19:08
  to
• 19:08
  me
• 19:08
  was,
• 19:08
  I
• 19:09
  look
• 19:09
  back
• 19:09
  on
• 19:09
  it,
• 19:10
  where
• 19:10
  was
• 19:10
  the
• 19:10
  umpire?
• 19:11
  Yeah,
• 19:12
  he
• 19:12
  had
• 19:12
  to
• 19:12
  be
• 19:12
  right
• 19:12
  there.
• 19:13
  Where
• 19:13
  was
• 19:13
  the
• 19:13
  first
• 19:14
  base
• 19:14
  coach?
• 19:15
  And
• 19:15
  Doug
• 19:15
  Flynn
• 19:16
  was
• 19:16
  playing
• 19:16
  second
• 19:16
  base.
• 19:19
  I
• 19:19
  mean,
• 19:19
  can
• 19:20
  you.
• 19:20
  Can't
• 19:20
  you
• 19:20
  tell?
• 19:20
  And
• 19:21
  I
• 19:21
  forgot.
• 19:21
  I
• 19:21
  think
• 19:22
  Sterns
• 19:22
  was
• 19:22
  catching
• 19:23
  with
• 19:23
  Trevino.
• 19:23
  You
• 19:24
  can't
• 19:24
  look
• 19:24
  at
• 19:24
  the
• 19:24
  field
• 19:24
  and
• 19:25
  see
• 19:25
  there's
• 19:25
  nobody
• 19:25
  at
• 19:25
  first
• 19:26
  base.
• 19:26
  I'm
• 19:26
  a
• 19:26
  pitcher.
• 19:27
  I
• 19:27
  can't.
• 19:27
  I
• 19:28
  can't
• 19:28
  be
• 19:28
  doing
• 19:28
  that,
• 19:29
  you
• 19:29
  know?
• 19:29
  Yeah.
• 19:29
  That's
• 19:30
  not
• 19:30
  my
• 19:30
  job.
• 19:30
  You
• 19:30
  got
• 19:31
  other
• 19:31
  things
• 19:31
  to
• 19:31
  worry
• 19:32
  about.
• 19:33
  And
• 19:34
  Joe
• 19:34
  Torrey,
• 19:34
  Rub
• 19:35
  Walker,
• 19:35
  Chuck
• 19:35
  Cartier,
• 19:36
  all
• 19:36
  the
• 19:36
  guys
• 19:36
  that
• 19:37

• 19:37
  out.
• 19:37
  No
• 19:37
  one's
• 19:38
  saying
• 19:38
  anything.
• 19:39
  And
• 19:39
  I
• 19:39
  thought,
• 19:40
  this
• 19:40
  is
• 19:40
  weird.
• 19:41
  So
• 19:41
  what
• 19:41
  happened
• 19:41
  was
• 19:42
  they
• 19:43
  had
• 19:43
  to
• 19:43
  call
• 19:43
  it
• 19:43
  again,
• 19:44
  Right.
• 19:44
  And
• 19:45
  so
• 19:45
  Doug
• 19:46
  Harvey
• 19:46
  made
• 19:47
  the
• 19:47
  call,
• 19:47
  I
• 19:47
  believe,
• 19:48
  to,
• 19:49
  we're
• 19:49
  going
• 19:49
  to
• 19:49
  finish
• 19:50
  the
• 19:50

• 19:51
  before
• 19:51
  the
• 19:51
  other
• 19:51
  game
• 19:52
  starts.
• 19:54
  So
• 19:56
  the
• 19:56
  next
• 19:56
  night,
• 19:56
  we
• 19:57
  had
• 19:57
  a
• 19:57
  guy
• 19:57
  in
• 19:57
  our
• 19:57
  good

  mine,

  He
• 20:04

• 20:04
  there
• 20:05
  and
• 20:05

• 20:05
  The
• 20:06
  next
• 20:06

• 20:07
  he
• 20:07
  had
• 20:07

  And

  he

  lasted
• 20:51
  a
• 20:52
  year.
• 20:52
  No,

  I
• 25:15
  was
• 25:15
  switching
• 25:15
  back
• 25:16
  and
• 25:16
  forth
• 25:16
  was
• 25:17
  the
• 25:17
  Godfather
• 25:17
  with
• 25:18
  Fredo
• 25:18
  and
• 25:18
  Mikey.
• 25:19
  And
• 25:19
  then
• 25:19
  you
• 25:20
  went
• 25:20
  through
• 25:20
  Sal
• 25:21
  and
• 25:21
  Sunny
• 25:21
  on
• 25:22
  Dog
• 25:22
  Day
• 25:22
  Afternoon.
• 25:23
  You
• 25:23
  said
• 25:23
  you
• 25:24
  witnessed
• 25:24
  that
• 25:24
  event.
• 25:26
  Well,
• 25:26
  I.
• 25:27
  You
• 25:27
  know,
• 25:27
  I'm
• 25:27
  from
• 25:28
  Brooklyn.
• 25:28
  I'm
• 25:28
  from
• 25:29
  Baked
• 25:29
  Hearst.
• 25:30
  And
• 25:30
  that
• 25:30
  day,
• 25:31
  it
• 25:31
  was
• 25:31
  a
• 25:31
  summer
• 25:32
  day.
• 25:32
  We
• 25:33
  heard,
• 25:33
  man,
• 25:34
  you
• 25:34
  get
• 25:34
  what's
• 25:34
  going
• 25:34
  on
• 25:35
  over
• 25:35
  there?
• 25:35
  I
• 25:35
  forgot
• 25:36
  where.
• 25:36
  I
• 25:36
  think
• 25:36
  it
• 25:36
  was
• 25:36
  like
• 25:37
  Avenue
• 25:37
  U
• 25:37
  or
• 25:37
  something.
• 25:38
  Yeah.
• 25:38
  Which
• 25:38
  was
• 25:39
  not
• 25:39
  too
• 25:39
  far
• 25:39
  from
• 25:39
  my
• 25:39
  house.
• 25:40
  And
• 25:40
  we
• 25:40
  all.
• 25:41
  I
• 25:41
  got
• 25:41
  on
• 25:41
  my
• 25:41
  bike
• 25:41
  and
• 25:42
  we
• 25:42
  all
• 25:42
  run
• 25:42
  down
• 25:43
  there.
• 25:44
  It
• 25:44
  was
• 25:44
  off
• 25:44
  McDonald
• 25:45
  Avenue.
• 25:45
  And
• 25:46
  by
• 25:46
  the
• 25:46
  time
• 25:46
  I
• 25:46
  got
• 25:46
  there,
• 25:47
  there
• 25:47
  was
• 25:47
  crowds
• 25:48
  everywhere
• 25:48
  along
• 25:49
  the
• 25:49
  streets
• 25:50
  and
• 25:50
  the
• 25:50
  cops
• 25:50
  were
• 25:50
  keeping
• 25:51
  people
• 25:51
  away.
• 25:52
  So
• 25:52
  I
• 25:52
  was
• 25:53
  in
• 25:53
  a
• 25:53
  place
• 25:54
  where
• 25:54
  I
• 25:54
  can
• 25:55
  look
• 25:55
  at
• 25:55
  the.
• 25:57
  It
• 25:57
  was
• 25:57
  a
• 25:57
  bank,
• 25:57
  if
• 25:57
  I
• 25:57
  recall.
• 25:58
  Yeah,
• 25:58
  it
• 25:58
  was
• 25:58
  a
• 25:58
  bank.
• 25:59
  And
• 25:59
  I
• 25:59
  could
• 25:59
  see
• 26:00
  the
• 26:00
  bank
• 26:00
  for
• 26:00
  where
• 26:00
  I
• 26:00
  was.
• 26:02
  And
• 26:03
  I
• 26:03
  was
• 26:03
  maybe
• 26:03
  a
• 26:03
  block
• 26:04
  and
• 26:04
  a
• 26:04
  half
• 26:04
  away.
• 26:04
  And
• 26:05
  we
• 26:05
  stayed
• 26:05
  there
• 26:05
  for
• 26:05
  hours.
• 26:06
  And
• 26:06
  I
• 26:07
  remember
• 26:07
  when
• 26:07
  they
• 26:07
  brought
• 26:07
  pizzas.
• 26:09
  Yeah.
• 26:11
  And
• 26:11
  I
• 26:11
  remember
• 26:11
  the
• 26:11
  guy
• 26:12
  coming
• 26:12
  to
• 26:12
  the
• 26:12
  window
• 26:13
  looking
• 26:13
  through
• 26:14
  the.
• 26:14
  Looking
• 26:14
  through
• 26:14
  the
• 26:15
  curtain,
• 26:15
  and
• 26:16
  he
• 26:16
  opened
• 26:16
  the
• 26:16
  door
• 26:17
  and
• 26:18
  everybody
• 26:19
  was
• 26:19
  cheering
• 26:19
  for
• 26:19
  this
• 26:20
  guy
• 26:20
  like
• 26:20
  they
• 26:20
  wanted.
• 26:21
  You
• 26:21
  Know,
• 26:21
  like,
• 26:21
  let
• 26:21
  the
• 26:21
  guy
• 26:22
  go.
• 26:22
  You
• 26:22
  know
• 26:24
  how
• 26:24
  cynical
• 26:25
  Brooklyn
• 26:25
  people
• 26:25
  are
• 26:26
  back
• 26:26
  in
• 26:26
  those
• 26:26
  days,
• 26:26
  maybe
• 26:27
  even
• 26:27
  today,
• 26:28
  too.
• 26:28
  But
• 26:28
  this
• 26:28
  is
• 26:29
  back
• 26:29
  in
• 26:29
  the,
• 26:29
  what,
• 26:29
  early
• 26:30
  70s,
• 26:30
  maybe.
• 26:31
  Yeah,
• 26:31
  right.
• 26:33
  But
• 26:33
  that
• 26:33
  was.
• 26:33
  There
• 26:34
  was
• 26:34
  hundreds
• 26:35
  of
• 26:35
  people
• 26:35
  there
• 26:36
  and
• 26:36
  there
• 26:36
  was
• 26:36
  a
• 26:36
  lot
• 26:36
  of
• 26:36
  cops.
• 26:37
  Yeah.
• 26:37
  And
• 26:38
  we,
• 26:38
  we
• 26:39
  didn't
• 26:39
  say
• 26:39
  that.
• 26:39
  I
• 26:39
  didn't
• 26:39
  stay
• 26:39
  the
• 26:40
  whole
• 26:40
  time
• 26:40
  because
• 26:41
  I
• 26:41
  know
• 26:41
  they,
• 26:41
  they
• 26:41
  came
• 26:42
  and
• 26:42
  they,
• 26:43
  I
• 26:43
  think
• 26:43
  they,
• 26:44
  they
• 26:44
  had
• 26:45
  limos
• 26:46
  took
• 26:46
  them
• 26:46
  to
• 26:46
  the
• 26:46
  air,
• 26:46
  was
• 26:46
  supposed
• 26:47
  to
• 26:47
  be
• 26:47
  taken
• 26:47
  to
• 26:47
  the
• 26:47
  airport,
• 26:47
  something
• 26:48
  like
• 26:48
  that.
• 26:49
  Yeah,
• 26:49
  yeah.
• 26:50
  But
• 26:50
  that,
• 26:50
  that
• 26:50
  was
• 26:50
  it.
• 26:51
  Everybody
• 26:51
  was
• 26:52
  there.
• 26:52
  Everybody
• 26:52
  was
• 26:52
  cheering.
• 26:53
  Every
• 26:53
  time
• 26:54
  the
• 26:54
  guy
• 26:54
  came
• 26:54
  to
• 26:54
  the
• 26:54
  window,
• 26:54
  they
• 26:55
  were
• 26:55
  cheering.
• 26:55
  The,
• 26:56
  the
• 26:56
  crowd
• 26:56
  was
• 26:56
  on
• 26:57
  the
• 26:57
  side
• 26:57
  of.
• 26:57
  Of
• 26:57
  the
• 26:58
  guys
• 26:58
  in
• 26:58
  the
• 26:58
  bank.
• 26:58
  They
• 26:59
  were
• 26:59
  against
• 26:59
  the
• 26:59
  cops.
• 27:01
  Exactly
• 27:01
  right.
• 27:02
  Yeah,
• 27:02
  exactly
• 27:02
  right.
• 27:03
  Anything
• 27:04
  the
• 27:04
  cops
• 27:04
  did,
• 27:05
  they
• 27:05
  booed.
• 27:05
  When
• 27:06
  Sonny
• 27:07
  and
• 27:07
  Sal,
• 27:07
  anything
• 27:08
  with
• 27:08
  them,
• 27:08
  they
• 27:09
  were
• 27:09
  loving
• 27:09
  it,
• 27:09
  the
• 27:09
  folks.
• 27:11
  Yep.
• 27:11
  And
• 27:12
  next
• 27:12
  thing
• 27:12
  you
• 27:12
  know,
• 27:12
  there's
• 27:12
  a
• 27:13
  movie
• 27:13
  coming
• 27:13
  out
• 27:13
  a
• 27:13
  couple
• 27:14
  of
• 27:14
  years
• 27:14
  later.
• 27:16
  Yeah.
• 27:17
  Pacino
• 27:18
  and
• 27:18
  Cazale,
• 27:19
  two
• 27:20
  great
• 27:20
  actors
• 27:21
  together
• 27:21
  in
• 27:21
  both
• 27:22
  those
• 27:22
  movies.
• 27:22
  Who
• 27:23
  would
• 27:23
  think?
• 27:23
  John
• 27:24
  Cazale,
• 27:24
  I
• 27:24
  think,
• 27:24
  was
• 27:25
  in
• 27:25
  five
• 27:25
  movies
• 27:26
  and
• 27:26
  every
• 27:27
  one
• 27:27
  of
• 27:27
  them
• 27:28
  was
• 27:28
  nominated
• 27:29
  for
• 27:29
  an
• 27:29
  Academy
• 27:29
  Award.
• 27:31
  So
• 27:31
  that's
• 27:32
  pretty
• 27:32
  good
• 27:32
  odds
• 27:32
  right
• 27:33
  there.
• 27:33
  And
• 27:33
  he
• 27:34
  was
• 27:34
  Meryl
• 27:35
  Streep's
• 27:35
  boyfriend.
• 27:37
  Unfortunately,
• 27:38
  he
• 27:39
  passed
• 27:39
  away
• 27:39
  shortly
• 27:40
  after
• 27:40
  that.
• 27:40
  But
• 27:40
  he
• 27:41
  was
• 27:41
  a
• 27:41
  great
• 27:41
  actor.
• 27:42
  Yeah,
• 27:43
  I
• 27:43
  did
• 27:43
  not
• 27:44
  know.
• 27:44
  I
• 27:44
  don't
• 27:44
  follow.
• 27:44
  I
• 27:44
  don't
• 27:45
  follow
• 27:45
  that
• 27:45
  too
• 27:45
  much.
• 27:45
  I
• 27:45
  don't
• 27:46
  know
• 27:46
  Fredo
• 27:46
  and
• 27:46
  the
• 27:47
  Godfather.
• 27:47
  Yeah,
• 27:48
  Fredo.
• 27:48
  Yeah,
• 27:49
  I
• 27:49
  know
• 27:49
  who
• 27:49
  he
• 27:49
  was.
• 27:50
  I
• 27:50
  know
• 27:50
  that.
• 27:50
  But
• 27:50
  I
• 27:50
  didn't
• 27:51
  know
• 27:51
  he
• 27:51
  passed
• 27:51
  away.
• 27:51
  Yeah,
• 27:52
  he's
• 27:52
  been
• 27:52
  gone
• 27:53
  a
• 27:53
  while.
• 27:54
  Pacino's
• 27:55
  still
• 27:55
  going,
• 27:55
  though,
• 27:55
  right?
• 27:55
  Oh,
• 27:56
  yeah,
• 27:56
  he's
• 27:56
  still
• 27:56
  alive.
• 27:57
  I
• 27:57
  think
• 27:58
  he.
• 27:58
  Well,
• 27:58
  he's.
• 27:58
  He's
• 27:59
  quite
• 28:00
  advanced
• 28:00
  in
• 28:00
  age,
• 28:01
  but
• 28:01
  he's
• 28:01
  still
• 28:02
  around.
• 28:02
  Yeah.
• 28:03
  Okay.
• 28:04

  What
• 31:26
  experience
• 31:27
  did
• 31:27
  you
• 31:27
  have
• 31:28
  in

  the
• 31:28
  past,
• 31:28
  Leslie,
• 31:29
  in
• 31:29
  sports,
• 31:30
  hockey,
• 31:30
  hockey
• 31:30
  in
• 31:31
  particular?
• 31:32
  Well,
• 31:33
  I
• 31:33
  grew
• 31:33
  up
• 31:33
  on
• 31:33
  Long
• 31:34
  island
• 31:34
  and
• 31:34
  my
• 31:35
  dad
• 31:35
  had
• 31:35
  season
• 31:35
  tickets
• 31:36
  to
• 31:36
  the
• 31:36
  Islanders.
• 31:37
  So
• 31:37
  I
• 31:37
  was
• 31:37
  going
• 31:38
  to
• 31:38
  Nassau
• 31:39
  Coliseum
• 31:39
  for
• 31:39
  my
• 31:40
  whole
• 31:40
  childhood,
• 31:41
  since
• 31:42
  I
• 31:42
  was
• 31:42
  3
• 31:42
  years
• 31:42
  old
• 31:44
  and
• 31:44
  I
• 31:45
  never
• 31:45
  played
• 31:45
  any
• 31:45
  hockey.
• 31:46
  But
• 31:46
  I
• 31:46
  was
• 31:46
  a
• 31:46
  competitive
• 31:47
  tennis
• 31:47
  player.
• 31:48
  I
• 31:48
  was
• 31:48
  the
• 31:48
  number
• 31:48
  one
• 31:48
  player
• 31:49
  on
• 31:49
  Long
• 31:49
  Island.
• 31:49
  I
• 31:50
  was
• 31:50
  nationally
• 31:50
  ranked.
• 31:51
  Wow.
• 31:52
  So
• 31:53
  my
• 31:53
  dad
• 31:54
  would
• 31:54
  take
• 31:54
  me
• 31:54
  to
• 31:55
  tennis
• 31:55
  matches
• 31:55
  throughout
• 31:56
  Long
• 31:56
  island
• 31:56
  and
• 31:56
  I
• 31:57
  would,
• 31:58
  we
• 31:58
  would
• 31:58
  have
• 31:58
  some
• 31:59
  time
• 31:59
  to
• 31:59
  kill.
• 31:59
  So
• 31:59
  he
• 31:59
  would
• 31:59
  take
• 32:00
  me
• 32:00
  to
• 32:00
  hockey
• 32:00
  games
• 32:00
  at
• 32:01
  night
• 32:02
  and
• 32:03
  there
• 32:03
  was
• 32:03
  no
• 32:04
  NHL
• 32:04
  team.
• 32:04
  We
• 32:05
  would
• 32:05
  see
• 32:05
  some
• 32:05
  minor
• 32:05
  league
• 32:06
  team
• 32:06
  play.
• 32:08
  So
• 32:08
  the
• 32:09
  hockey
• 32:09
  and
• 32:09
  tennis
• 32:10
  wires
• 32:10
  are
• 32:10
  very
• 32:10
  much
• 32:11
  crossed
• 32:11
  in
• 32:11
  my
• 32:11
  brain.
• 32:13
  Before
• 32:13
  my
• 32:13
  tennis
• 32:14
  matches,
• 32:14
  my
• 32:14
  dad
• 32:14
  would
• 32:15
  tell
• 32:15
  me
• 32:15
  not
• 32:15
  to
• 32:15
  come
• 32:15
  home
• 32:15
  without
• 32:16
  two
• 32:16
  points,
• 32:17
  which
• 32:17
  in
• 32:17
  tennis
• 32:17
  means
• 32:18
  nothing,
• 32:18
  but
• 32:18
  in
• 32:19
  hockey
• 32:20
  means
• 32:20
  you
• 32:20
  better
• 32:20
  get
• 32:21
  the
• 32:21
  Win,
• 32:21
  right?
• 32:22
  Yeah.
• 32:24
  So,
• 32:24
  yeah.
• 32:24
  So
• 32:25
  I
• 32:25
  was
• 32:25
  watching
• 32:25
  hockey
• 32:26
  my
• 32:26
  whole
• 32:26
  life,
• 32:26
  and
• 32:26
  then
• 32:26
  my
• 32:27
  family
• 32:27
  moved
• 32:27
  into
• 32:27
  the
• 32:27
  city
• 32:28
  and
• 32:28
  we
• 32:28
  became
• 32:29
  Rangers
• 32:29
  fans,
• 32:31
  and
• 32:33
  I
• 32:34
  watched
• 32:34
  Sean
• 32:35
  play
• 32:35
  throughout
• 32:35
  my
• 32:35
  20s,
• 32:36
  and
• 32:37
  hockey
• 32:37
  was
• 32:37
  just
• 32:38
  always
• 32:38
  a
• 32:38
  big
• 32:39
  part
• 32:39
  of
• 32:39
  my
• 32:39
  family
• 32:39
  and
• 32:40
  a
• 32:40
  big
• 32:40
  part
• 32:40
  of
• 32:40
  my
• 32:41
  life.
• 32:41
  And,
• 32:42
  you
• 32:42
  know,
• 32:43
  along
• 32:43
  with
• 32:43
  tennis,
• 32:44
  just
• 32:44
  like
• 32:44
  a
• 32:44
  huge
• 32:45
  passion
• 32:45
  of
• 32:45
  mine.
• 32:46
  Wonderful.
• 32:46
  Well,
• 32:47
  Sean,
• 32:47
  when
• 32:48

  up,
• 32:48
  who

  So
• 32:52
  I

  up
• 32:53
  in

  Toronto,
• 32:54
  which,
• 32:55
  you
• 32:55
  know,
• 32:55
  in
• 32:55
  most
• 32:56
  situations,
• 32:56
  it
• 32:56
  would
• 32:57
  make
• 32:57
  you
• 32:58
  a
• 32:58
  default
• 32:58
  Toronto
• 32:59
  Maple

  Leaf

• 33:02
  was
• 33:02
  my
• 33:02
  favorite
• 33:03
  player,
• 33:04
  so
• 33:05
  I
• 33:05
  was
• 33:05
  a
• 33:05
  little
• 33:06
  bit
• 33:06
  torn.
• 33:06
  I
• 33:07
  was
• 33:07
  mostly
• 33:07
  a
• 33:07
  St.
• 33:08
  Louis
• 33:08
  Blues
• 33:08
  fan,
• 33:09
  and
• 33:09
  then
• 33:10
  occasionally
• 33:10
  I
• 33:10
  was
• 33:10
  a
• 33:11
  Toronto
• 33:11
  Maple
• 33:11
  Leafs
• 33:11
  fan,
• 33:12
  But
• 33:12
  my
• 33:13
  first
• 33:13
  NHL
• 33:14
  game
• 33:15
  was
• 33:17
  1988
• 33:19
  Toronto
• 33:19
  Maple
• 33:19
  Leaf
• 33:20
  Garden,
• 33:21
  and
• 33:21
  it
• 33:21
  was
• 33:21
  the
• 33:22
  St.
• 33:22
  Louis
• 33:22
  Blues
• 33:22
  versus
• 33:23
  the
• 33:23
  Toronto
• 33:23
  Maple
• 33:24
  Leafs.
• 33:24
  And
• 33:24
  I
• 33:24
  had
• 33:25
  a
• 33:25
  sign
• 33:25
  that
• 33:25
  said.
• 33:26
  Hull
• 33:26
  of
• 33:26
  a
• 33:26
  shot.
• 33:27
  So,
• 33:28
  you
• 33:29
  know,
• 33:29
  I
• 33:29
  think
• 33:30
  I've
• 33:30
  been
• 33:30
  kind
• 33:30
  of
• 33:31
  torn
• 33:31
  ever
• 33:31
  since.
• 33:32
  And
• 33:32
  then
• 33:32
  years
• 33:32
  later,
• 33:33
  I
• 33:33
  ended
• 33:33
  up
• 33:34
  having
• 33:34
  the
• 33:35
  pleasure
• 33:36
  and
• 33:36
  luxury
• 33:37
  of
• 33:37
  playing
• 33:37
  with
• 33:37
  Brett
• 33:37
  Hall.
• 33:38
  So
• 33:38
  it
• 33:38
  all
• 33:38
  kind
• 33:38
  of
• 33:38
  came
• 33:39
  around
• 33:39
  full
• 33:39
  circle.
• 33:40
  Nice.
• 33:40
  Not
• 33:41
  many
• 33:41
  people
• 33:41
  get
• 33:42
  to
• 33:42
  play
• 33:42
  hockey
• 33:42
  with
• 33:43
  their
• 33:43
  idols,
• 33:44
  Sean,
• 33:44
  that's
• 33:44
  for
• 33:45
  sure.
• 33:45
  Now,
• 33:45
  I
• 33:46
  want
• 33:46
  to
• 33:46
  talk
• 33:46
  to
• 33:46
  you
• 33:46
  quick
• 33:47
  about
• 33:47
  your
• 33:47
  acting
• 33:48
  career.
• 33:48
  How
• 33:49
  did
• 33:49
  you
• 33:49
  break
• 33:49
  into
• 33:49
  that
• 33:50
  and
• 33:51
  what
• 33:52
  did
• 33:52
  you
• 33:52
  start
• 33:52
  with
• 33:53
  when
• 33:53
  you
• 33:53
  started
• 33:53
  acting?
• 33:56
  Yeah,
• 33:56
  so,
• 33:56
  I
• 33:56
  mean,
• 33:56
  it's
• 33:57
  been
• 33:57
  a.
• 33:57
  It's
• 33:57
  been
• 33:57
  a
• 33:58
  journey
• 33:58
  now,
• 33:58
  probably
• 34:00
  seven
• 34:00
  or
• 34:00
  eight
• 34:00
  years.
• 34:01
  A
• 34:02
  friend
• 34:02
  of
• 34:02
  mine,
• 34:02
  Peter
• 34:03
  Berg,
• 34:04
  great
• 34:04
  American
• 34:05
  director,
• 34:06
  he
• 34:07
  directed
• 34:07
  a
• 34:07
  movie
• 34:08
  called
• 34:08
  Patriots
• 34:08
  Day.
• 34:10
  And
• 34:10
  I
• 34:10
  just
• 34:10
  finished
• 34:11
  my
• 34:11
  last
• 34:11
  season
• 34:11
  with
• 34:11
  the
• 34:12
  Rangers,
• 34:12
  and
• 34:12
  I
• 34:12
  didn't
• 34:13
  know
• 34:13
  if
• 34:13
  I
• 34:13
  was
• 34:13
  going
• 34:13
  to
• 34:13
  play
• 34:13
  again.
• 34:14
  And
• 34:14
  I
• 34:15
  think.
• 34:16
  I
• 34:16
  don't
• 34:17
  know.
• 34:17
  You
• 34:17
  know,
• 34:17
  Pete's
• 34:18
  a
• 34:19
  wise
• 34:19
  man.
• 34:20
  He
• 34:20
  said,
• 34:20
  why
• 34:20
  don't
• 34:21
  you
• 34:21
  come
• 34:21
  down
• 34:21
  to
• 34:21
  Boston?
• 34:22
  I'm
• 34:22
  making
• 34:22
  this
• 34:22
  movie.
• 34:23
  I
• 34:23
  got
• 34:23
  a
• 34:23
  small
• 34:24
  part
• 34:24
  for
• 34:24
  you.
• 34:25
  Very
• 34:26
  small
• 34:26
  part.
• 34:26
  I'm
• 34:27
  a
• 34:27
  cop.
• 34:27
  I
• 34:27
  play
• 34:27
  a
• 34:27
  Watertown
• 34:28
  police
• 34:28
  officer.
• 34:29
  It
• 34:29
  was
• 34:29
  the
• 34:30
  Boston
• 34:30
  bombing
• 34:30
  story.
• 34:33
  You
• 34:33
  know,
• 34:33
  I'm
• 34:33
  on
• 34:34
  set,
• 34:34
  there's
• 34:35
  like
• 34:35
  200
• 34:35
  people.
• 34:36
  Mark
• 34:36
  Wahlberg's
• 34:37
  in
• 34:37
  the
• 34:37
  scene,
• 34:38
  and
• 34:39
  they
• 34:39
  call
• 34:39
  action.
• 34:40
  And
• 34:41
  that
• 34:41
  was
• 34:41
  really
• 34:41
  the
• 34:41
  closest
• 34:42
  thing
• 34:42
  that
• 34:42
  I
• 34:42
  had
• 34:42
  felt
• 34:43
  to
• 34:45
  maybe
• 34:46
  just
• 34:46
  pure
• 34:47
  fear
• 34:47
  since
• 34:48
  I
• 34:48
  had
• 34:48
  played.
• 34:49
  And
• 34:50
  then
• 34:50
  I
• 34:50
  just
• 34:50
  kind
• 34:51
  of
• 34:51
  dug
• 34:51
  in,
• 34:51
  and
• 34:52
  I
• 34:52
  found
• 34:52
  a
• 34:53
  teacher
• 34:53
  in
• 34:53
  New
• 34:54
  York
• 34:54
  and
• 34:55
  chipped
• 34:55
  away
• 34:56
  at
• 34:56
  it.
• 34:56
  And
• 34:57
  now,
• 34:58
  you
• 34:58
  know,
• 34:58
  today
• 34:58
  I'm
• 34:59

  actor,
• 35:00
  and
• 35:02
  I
• 35:03
  see.
• 35:04
  I
• 35:04
  see
• 35:04
  that
• 35:06
  impenetrable
• 35:08
  mountain
• 35:08
  that
• 35:08
  nobody
• 35:09
  can
• 35:09
  either
• 35:10

• 35:11
  through
• 35:11
  or
• 35:11
  get
• 35:12
  over.
• 35:12
  I've
• 35:12
  kind
• 35:12
  of
• 35:13
  cleared
• 35:13
  it
• 35:13
  now,
• 35:13
  and
• 35:13
  I
• 35:14
  feel
• 35:14
  pretty
• 35:14
  good.
• 35:15
  Yeah,
• 35:15
  you're
• 35:15
  doing
• 35:16
  very
• 35:16

  For

  you,

  this
• 35:36
  your

  first
• 35:37
  foray
• 35:37
  into
• 35:37
  writing
• 35:38
  a
• 35:38
  sports
• 35:38
  centered
• 35:39
  work?
• 35:41
  Yeah,
• 35:41
  this
• 35:41
  is
• 35:41
  my
• 35:42
  third
• 35:42
  novel,
• 35:42
  but
• 35:42
  my
• 35:43
  first
• 35:43
  two
• 35:43
  were
• 35:43
  more
• 35:44
  just
• 35:44
  straight
• 35:44
  romantic
• 35:45
  comedies,
• 35:46
  and
• 35:46
  this
• 35:46
  is
• 35:47
  my
• 35:47
  first
• 35:47
  sports
• 35:48
  romance.
• 35:48
  Okay,
• 35:49
  now,
• 35:49
  who
• 35:50
  spawned
• 35:50
  the
• 35:50
  idea
• 35:51
  for
• 35:51
  Summer
• 35:51
  Skate?
• 35:52
  Who
• 35:52
  got
• 35:52
  the
• 35:53
  light
• 35:54
  bulb
• 35:54
  over
• 35:54
  their
• 35:54
  head
• 35:55
  for
• 35:55
  Summer
• 35:55
  Skateboard?
• 35:56
  It
• 35:56
  was
• 35:57
  actually
• 35:57
  our
• 35:57
  agent.
• 35:58
  I
• 35:58
  played
• 35:59
  competitive
• 35:59
  softball
• 36:00
  in
• 36:00
  Central
• 36:00
  park
• 36:01
  with
• 36:01
  my
• 36:01
  agent
• 36:01
  for,
• 36:02
  like,
• 36:02
  five,
• 36:02
  seven
• 36:02
  years,
• 36:03
  and
• 36:04
  we
• 36:04
  would
• 36:04
  always
• 36:04
  talk
• 36:04
  about
• 36:04
  the
• 36:05
  Rangers.
• 36:05
  So
• 36:05
  he
• 36:05
  knew
• 36:05
  that
• 36:06
  I
• 36:06
  loved
• 36:06
  sports,
• 36:06
  and
• 36:06
  he
• 36:07
  knew
• 36:07
  that
• 36:07
  I
• 36:07
  loved
• 36:07
  hockey.
• 36:08
  And
• 36:09
  one
• 36:09
  day
• 36:10
  his
• 36:10
  agency
• 36:10
  signed
• 36:11
  Sean
• 36:11
  for
• 36:12
  his
• 36:12
  acting.
• 36:13
  And
• 36:13
  so
• 36:13
  he
• 36:13
  texted
• 36:14
  me
• 36:14
  out
• 36:14
  of
• 36:14
  the
• 36:14
  blue
• 36:14
  and
• 36:15
  said,
• 36:15
  I
• 36:15
  have
• 36:15
  a
• 36:15
  great
• 36:15
  idea
• 36:16
  for
• 36:16
  your
• 36:16
  next
• 36:16
  novel.
• 36:16
  You
• 36:17
  should
• 36:17
  write
• 36:17
  one
• 36:17
  with
• 36:17
  Sean
• 36:18
  Avery.
• 36:18
  And
• 36:18
  I
• 36:18
  was
• 36:18
  like,
• 36:19
  why
• 36:19
  would
• 36:19
  I
• 36:20
  do
• 36:20
  that?
• 36:21
  Just,
• 36:22
  like,
• 36:22
  didn't
• 36:22
  make
• 36:22
  any
• 36:23
  sense.
• 36:24
  I
• 36:24
  had
• 36:24
  no
• 36:25
  idea
• 36:25
  hockey
• 36:25
  romances
• 36:26
  were
• 36:26
  a
• 36:26
  trend.
• 36:28
  So
• 36:28
  I
• 36:28
  started
• 36:29
  looking
• 36:29
  into
• 36:29
  it,
• 36:30
  and
• 36:30
  I
• 36:30
  saw
• 36:30
  that
• 36:30
  they
• 36:31
  were,
• 36:32
  and
• 36:32
  I
• 36:32
  started
• 36:32
  reading
• 36:33
  them,
• 36:33
  and
• 36:33
  I
• 36:33
  thought,
• 36:34
  well,
• 36:34
  I
• 36:34
  think
• 36:35
  I
• 36:35
  can
• 36:35
  do
• 36:35
  better
• 36:35
  than
• 36:36
  this.
• 36:38
  And
• 36:38
  that's
• 36:39
  how
• 36:39
  it
• 36:39
  started.
• 36:40
  You
• 36:40
  see
• 36:40
  a
• 36:41
  lot
• 36:41
  of
• 36:41
  hockey
• 36:41
  romances
• 36:42
  that
• 36:42
  are
• 36:42
  publicized.
• 36:43
  I
• 36:43
  mean,
• 36:43
  you
• 36:44
  have
• 36:44
  Alexi
• 36:45
  Yashin
• 36:45
  and
• 36:45
  Carol
• 36:46
  Alt,
• 36:47
  things
• 36:48
  like
• 36:48
  that.
• 36:48
  That's
• 36:49
  just
• 36:49
  one
• 36:49
  of
• 36:49
  them.
• 36:49
  But
• 36:50
  there
• 36:50
  are
• 36:50
  a
• 36:51
  lot
• 36:51
  of
• 36:51
  stories
• 36:51
  out
• 36:52
  there
• 36:52
  featuring
• 36:53
  hockey
• 36:53
  players.
• 36:54
  And
• 36:54
  you
• 36:55
  two,
• 36:55
  of
• 36:55
  course,
• 36:55
  you
• 36:55
  found
• 36:56
  each
• 36:56
  other
• 36:56
  for
• 36:56
  the
• 36:57
  collaboration
• 36:57
  through
• 36:58
  your
• 36:58
  agent,
• 36:58
  Leslie.
• 36:59
  Yeah.
• 37:00
  Yeah.
• 37:01
  Okay.
• 37:02
  Yeah.
• 37:02
  But
• 37:02
  this
• 37:03
  one,
• 37:03
  I
• 37:03
  think,
• 37:03
  is
• 37:03
  just
• 37:04
  really
• 37:04
  different
• 37:04
  from
• 37:04
  all
• 37:05
  of
• 37:05
  the
• 37:05
  others
• 37:05
  that
• 37:06
  are
• 37:06
  out
• 37:06
  there,
• 37:06
  because
• 37:06
  there's
• 37:07
  never
• 37:07
  been
• 37:08
  a
• 37:08
  collaboration
• 37:09
  like
• 37:09
  this
• 37:09
  between
• 37:09
  a
• 37:10
  novelist
• 37:10
  and
• 37:10
  a
• 37:10
  former
• 37:11
  professional
• 37:11
  hockey
• 37:12
  player.
• 37:12
  So.
• 37:13
  No,
• 37:13
  you're
• 37:13
  right.
• 37:14
  That's
• 37:14
  what
• 37:14
  makes
• 37:14
  it
• 37:15
  compelling
• 37:16
  and
• 37:17
  certainly
• 37:17
  unique.
• 37:18
  Yeah,
• 37:18
  that's
• 37:18
  for
• 37:18
  sure.
• 37:19
  The
• 37:20
  two
• 37:20
  main
• 37:20
  characters.
• 37:21
  Let
• 37:21
  me
• 37:21
  fill
• 37:22
  the
• 37:22
  folks
• 37:22
  in
• 37:22
  on
• 37:22
  that.
• 37:23
  Carter
• 37:24
  Hughes,
• 37:24
  a
• 37:24
  rising
• 37:25
  Ranger
• 37:25
  star,
• 37:26
  Dangerous
• 37:27
  edge,
• 37:28
  kind
• 37:28
  of
• 37:28
  edgy,
• 37:29
  everything
• 37:29
  to
• 37:30
  lose.
• 37:30
  He's
• 37:30
  starting
• 37:31
  out
• 37:31
  as
• 37:31
  a
• 37:32
  rookie,
• 37:32
  and
• 37:33
  he
• 37:33
  meets
• 37:33
  Jessica
• 37:34
  Riley,
• 37:34
  which
• 37:35
  is
• 37:35
  the
• 37:35
  female
• 37:35
  character.
• 37:36
  She's
• 37:37
  married,
• 37:38
  a
• 37:38
  sharp
• 37:38
  girl,
• 37:39
  and
• 37:39
  a
• 37:39
  successful
• 37:40
  novelist,
• 37:41
  but
• 37:41
  she's
• 37:42
  got
• 37:42
  writer's
• 37:42
  block.
• 37:44
  And
• 37:44
  anything
• 37:45
  more
• 37:45
  you
• 37:45
  can
• 37:45
  tell
• 37:45
  us
• 37:46
  about
• 37:46
  the
• 37:46
  character,
• 37:47
  Sean?
• 37:48
  Yeah,
• 37:48
  I
• 37:49
  mean,
• 37:50
  I
• 37:51
  think
• 37:51
  that
• 37:53
  certainly.
• 37:55
  I
• 37:56
  think
• 37:56
  we're
• 37:56
  both
• 37:56
  pulling
• 37:57
  from
• 37:57
  real
• 37:57
  life
• 37:59
  experience
• 37:59
  at
• 38:00
  some
• 38:00
  point.
• 38:02
  You
• 38:02
  know,
• 38:02
  the
• 38:02
  Rangers,
• 38:03
  the
• 38:03
  players.
• 38:04
  Some
• 38:04
  guys
• 38:04
  go
• 38:05
  back
• 38:05
  to
• 38:05
  Sweden
• 38:05
  in
• 38:06
  the
• 38:06
  summers,
• 38:06
  and
• 38:06
  some
• 38:06
  guys
• 38:07
  go
• 38:07
  to
• 38:07
  the
• 38:07
  Hamptons.
• 38:09
  So
• 38:09
  it's
• 38:10
  a
• 38:10
  very
• 38:10
  realistic
• 38:11
  setting.
• 38:12
  Jessica,
• 38:13
  our
• 38:14
  female
• 38:14
  character,
• 38:15
  she's
• 38:15
  in
• 38:15
  the
• 38:15
  Hamptons
• 38:17
  trying
• 38:17
  to
• 38:17
  work
• 38:18
  through
• 38:18
  a
• 38:18
  writer's
• 38:19
  block.
• 38:19
  Her.
• 38:21
  Her
• 38:21
  agent
• 38:22
  has
• 38:22
  arranged
• 38:22
  a
• 38:22
  house
• 38:23
  for
• 38:23
  her
• 38:23
  to
• 38:23
  live
• 38:23
  in.
• 38:24
  It
• 38:24
  just
• 38:25
  so
• 38:25
  happens
• 38:25
  it's
• 38:25
  in
• 38:25
  a
• 38:26
  house
• 38:26
  next.
• 38:26
  It's
• 38:26
  the
• 38:27
  house
• 38:27
  next
• 38:27
  door
• 38:28
  to
• 38:28
  Carter
• 38:28
  Hughes
• 38:29
  and
• 38:29
  two
• 38:29
  of
• 38:29
  his
• 38:30
  former
• 38:31
  college
• 38:31
  teammates,
• 38:32
  who
• 38:32
  are
• 38:32
  also
• 38:32
  Ranger
• 38:33
  prospects.
• 38:35
  And,
• 38:35
  you
• 38:35
  know,
• 38:36
  there's
• 38:36
  a
• 38:37
  lot
• 38:37
  of
• 38:37
  trouble
• 38:37
  to
• 38:37
  be
• 38:38
  had
• 38:38
  for
• 38:39
  the
• 38:39
  boys,
• 38:39
  for
• 38:40
  sure.
• 38:41
  And
• 38:41
  I
• 38:41
  think
• 38:41
  that
• 38:42
  they
• 38:42
  pull
• 38:43
  Jessica
• 38:43
  into
• 38:44
  their
• 38:44
  web
• 38:44
  a
• 38:44
  little
• 38:45
  bit,
• 38:45
  but
• 38:45
  she
• 38:45
  also.
• 38:47
  She
• 38:47
  also
• 38:47
  pulls
• 38:48
  Carter
• 38:48
  into
• 38:49
  her
• 38:49
  web.
• 38:50
  And
• 38:52
  there's
• 38:52
  some
• 38:52
  decisions
• 38:53
  that
• 38:53
  are
• 38:53
  made
• 38:53
  that
• 38:53
  are
• 38:54
  the
• 38:54
  wrong
• 38:54
  decisions.
• 38:55
  And,
• 38:56
  you
• 38:56
  know,
• 38:56
  I
• 38:56
  think
• 38:57
  at
• 38:57
  a
• 38:57
  certain
• 38:58
  point,
• 38:58
  even
• 38:58
  a
• 38:58
  place
• 38:59
  like
• 38:59
  the
• 38:59
  Hamptons
• 38:59
  is
• 39:00
  much
• 39:00
  smaller
• 39:00
  than
• 39:00
  people
• 39:01
  think.
• 39:02
  And
• 39:02
  maybe
• 39:03
  you
• 39:03
  dance
• 39:03
  with
• 39:03
  the
• 39:04
  wrong
• 39:04
  guy's
• 39:04
  wife
• 39:05
  at
• 39:05
  some
• 39:05
  point
• 39:06
  in
• 39:06
  time,
• 39:06
  or
• 39:07
  it
• 39:08
  could
• 39:08
  lead
• 39:08
  back
• 39:08
  to
• 39:08
  the
• 39:09
  owner
• 39:09
  of
• 39:09
  the
• 39:09
  Rangers.
• 39:10
  You
• 39:10
  never
• 39:11
  know.
• 39:11
  You
• 39:11
  never
• 39:12
  know.
• 39:12
  There's
• 39:12
  a
• 39:12
  lot
• 39:12
  of
• 39:12
  twists
• 39:13
  and
• 39:13
  turns
• 39:13
  in
• 39:14
  this
• 39:15
  mixed
• 39:15
  in
• 39:15
  with
• 39:16
  very
• 39:16
  realistic
• 39:18
  hockey
• 39:18
  training
• 39:19
  scenes.
• 39:19
  This
• 39:20
  kid's
• 39:20
  getting
• 39:20
  ready.
• 39:21
  All
• 39:21
  three
• 39:21
  of
• 39:21
  these
• 39:22
  guys
• 39:22
  are
• 39:22
  getting
• 39:22
  ready
• 39:22
  for
• 39:23
  training
• 39:23
  camp.
• 39:25
  He's
• 39:25
  being
• 39:26
  pulled
• 39:27
  into
• 39:27
  the
• 39:27
  city
• 39:27
  as
• 39:28
  the
• 39:28
  summer
• 39:28
  goes
• 39:29
  on.
• 39:29
  It's
• 39:30
  very
• 39:30
  realistic.
• 39:31
  You
• 39:32
  know,
• 39:32
  right
• 39:32
  now,
• 39:32
  today,
• 39:33
  this
• 39:33
  weekend,
• 39:34
  there's
• 39:35
  NHL
• 39:35
  players
• 39:36
  across
• 39:37
  the
• 39:37
  country
• 39:38
  that
• 39:38
  are
• 39:39
  packing
• 39:39
  up
• 39:39
  their
• 39:39
  bags
• 39:41
  and
• 39:41
  leaving
• 39:41
  their
• 39:42
  summer
• 39:42
  skate
• 39:42
  to
• 39:43
  go
• 39:43
  to
• 39:43
  training
• 39:43
  camp.
• 39:44
  And
• 39:44
  the
• 39:44
  summer
• 39:44
  skate,
• 39:45
  the
• 39:45
  title,
• 39:46
  it's
• 39:46
  really
• 39:47
  what
• 39:47
  hockey
• 39:47
  players
• 39:47
  call,
• 39:48
  you
• 39:48
  know,
• 39:49
  wherever
• 39:49
  you
• 39:49
  go
• 39:50
  in
• 39:50
  the
• 39:50
  summer,
• 39:50
  if
• 39:51
  you're
• 39:51
  on
• 39:51
  vacation,
• 39:52
  if
• 39:52
  you're
• 39:52
  going
• 39:52
  to
• 39:52
  visit
• 39:52
  a
• 39:53
  buddy,
• 39:53
  you
• 39:54
  always
• 39:54
  ask,
• 39:55
  do
• 39:55
  you
• 39:55
  have
• 39:55
  a
• 39:55
  summer
• 39:56
  skate?
• 39:56
  Because
• 39:57
  guys
• 39:57
  got
• 39:57
  to
• 39:57
  stay
• 39:57
  sharp
• 39:58
  during
• 39:58
  the
• 39:58
  off
• 39:58
  season.
• 39:59
  So,
• 40:01
  yeah,
• 40:01
  it's
• 40:02
  pretty
• 40:02
  exciting.
• 40:02
  I
• 40:03
  think
• 40:03
  sports
• 40:03
  fans
• 40:04
  and
• 40:04
  romance
• 40:04
  fans
• 40:05
  are
• 40:05
  going
• 40:05
  to
• 40:05
  get
• 40:05
  both.
• 40:07
  They're
• 40:08
  going
• 40:08
  to
• 40:08
  get
• 40:08
  a
• 40:08
  little
• 40:08
  bit
• 40:08
  of
• 40:08
  both
• 40:09
  from
• 40:09
  each
• 40:10
  character's
• 40:10
  perspective.
• 40:11
  Right.
• 40:12
  Because
• 40:13
  it's
• 40:13
  really
• 40:14
  written
• 40:15
  from
• 40:15
  two
• 40:16
  really
• 40:16
  wildly
• 40:17
  different
• 40:17
  perspectives,
• 40:18
  like
• 40:18
  you
• 40:18
  say,
• 40:18
  Sean.
• 40:20
  Yeah.
• 40:20
  So
• 40:20
  I
• 40:21
  think
• 40:21
  that's
• 40:21
  what's
• 40:21
  unique
• 40:22
  as
• 40:22
  well,
• 40:22
  is
• 40:22
  that
• 40:23
  Leslie
• 40:23
  writes
• 40:24
  the
• 40:25
  female
• 40:26
  protagonist,
• 40:27
  which
• 40:27
  is
• 40:27
  Jessica,
• 40:28
  and
• 40:28
  I
• 40:28
  write
• 40:29
  the
• 40:29
  male
• 40:29
  protagonist,
• 40:30
  which
• 40:30
  is
• 40:30
  Carter
• 40:31
  Hughes.
• 40:32
  So
• 40:32
  each
• 40:32
  chapter
• 40:33
  flips
• 40:33
  because
• 40:33
  between
• 40:34
  her
• 40:35
  and
• 40:35
  Carter,
• 40:36
  as
• 40:36
  the
• 40:36
  book
• 40:36
  goes
• 40:36
  on
• 40:37
  and
• 40:37
  we
• 40:37
  sort
• 40:37
  of
• 40:37
  weave
• 40:38
  it
• 40:38
  together
• 40:39
  into
• 40:39
  what
• 40:39
  I
• 40:40
  think
• 40:40
  is
• 40:40
  a
• 40:40
  real
• 40:40
  nice
• 40:41
  ending,
• 40:41
  a
• 40:41
  bit
• 40:41
  of
• 40:41
  a
• 40:42
  cliffhanger,
• 40:44
  because,
• 40:45
  you
• 40:45
  know,
• 40:45
  the
• 40:45
  romance
• 40:46
  genre
• 40:48
  readers
• 40:48
  get
• 40:49
  very
• 40:49
  vested
• 40:50
  in
• 40:50
  their
• 40:50
  characters.
• 40:51
  So
• 40:52
  it's
• 40:52
  not
• 40:52
  like
• 40:52
  a
• 40:53
  one
• 40:53
  and
• 40:53
  done
• 40:53
  type
• 40:54
  of
• 40:54
  book.
• 40:54
  These
• 40:54
  books
• 40:55
  generally
• 40:55
  go
• 40:56
  for
• 40:56
  4,
• 40:56
  5,
• 40:57
  6
• 40:57
  in
• 40:57
  a
• 40:57
  series
• 40:58
  until
• 40:59
  they
• 40:59
  wrap
• 41:00
  it
• 41:00
  up.
• 41:00
  That's
• 41:00
  how
• 41:00
  you
• 41:00
  set
• 41:00
  it
• 41:01
  up.
• 41:01
  So
• 41:01
  I
• 41:01
  think
• 41:01
  we've
• 41:01
  done
• 41:01
  a
• 41:02
  good
• 41:02
  job
• 41:02
  with
• 41:02
  that.
• 41:03
  Nice.
• 41:03
  Okay,
• 41:04
  so
• 41:04
  this
• 41:05
  could
• 41:05
  be
• 41:05
  the
• 41:05
  first
• 41:06
  in
• 41:06
  a
• 41:07
  series
• 41:07
  then,
• 41:07
  John.
• 41:08
  Right.
• 41:09
  Well,
• 41:09
  it
• 41:09
  should
• 41:10
  be.
• 41:10
  And,
• 41:10
  you
• 41:10
  know,
• 41:12
  I
• 41:12
  need
• 41:13
  to
• 41:13
  say
• 41:15
  this
• 41:15
  book
• 41:15
  elevates
• 41:16
  the
• 41:16
  romance
• 41:17
  genre
• 41:17
  because
• 41:19
  everything
• 41:19
  we
• 41:19
  do
• 41:20
  is
• 41:20
  just
• 41:20
  more
• 41:21
  modern
• 41:21
  and
• 41:21
  cooler
• 41:22
  and
• 41:23
  edgier.
• 41:23
  You
• 41:24
  know,
• 41:24
  the
• 41:24
  references
• 41:24
  we
• 41:25
  use,
• 41:25
  the
• 41:25
  language
• 41:26
  that
• 41:26
  we
• 41:26
  use,
• 41:27
  the
• 41:28
  types
• 41:28
  of
• 41:28
  characters
• 41:29
  we've
• 41:29
  built.
• 41:30
  The
• 41:31
  sports
• 41:31
  romance,
• 41:32
  specifically
• 41:33
  the
• 41:33
  hockey
• 41:33
  romance,
• 41:34
  has
• 41:34
  been
• 41:34
  very
• 41:36
  almost
• 41:38
  comic
• 41:39
  book
• 41:39
  esque.
• 41:40
  It's
• 41:40
  like
• 41:41
  bubblegum.
• 41:41
  It's.
• 41:42
  You
• 41:42
  know,
• 41:43
  I
• 41:43
  think
• 41:43
  it's
• 41:44
  time
• 41:44
  that
• 41:44
  this
• 41:44
  whole
• 41:44
  entire
• 41:45
  space
• 41:45
  gets
• 41:45
  elevated.
• 41:46
  But
• 41:47
  I
• 41:47
  also
• 41:47
  think
• 41:47
  that
• 41:47
  was
• 41:47
  probably
• 41:48
  somewhat
• 41:48
  difficult
• 41:49
  to
• 41:49
  do,
• 41:49
  which
• 41:49
  just
• 41:50
  makes
• 41:50
  me
• 41:50
  and
• 41:50
  Leslie
• 41:51
  a
• 41:51
  great
• 41:51
  team,
• 41:52
  is
• 41:52
  that
• 41:53
  most
• 41:54
  of
• 41:54
  these
• 41:54
  books
• 41:54
  are
• 41:54
  written
• 41:55
  by
• 41:55
  females.
• 41:56
  And,
• 41:56
  you
• 41:56
  know,
• 41:58
  so
• 41:58
  to
• 41:58
  write
• 41:58
  a
• 41:59
  hockey
• 41:59
  romance
• 42:00
  novel
• 42:00
  as
• 42:01
  a
• 42:01
  female,
• 42:03
  it's
• 42:03
  just.
• 42:04
  It's
• 42:04
  much
• 42:04
  different.
• 42:05
  It's
• 42:05
  harder.
• 42:06
  You
• 42:06
  know,
• 42:06
  Leslie
• 42:07
  has
• 42:07
  the
• 42:07
  ability
• 42:08
  to
• 42:08
  bounce
• 42:08
  things
• 42:08
  off
• 42:08
  of
• 42:09
  me,
• 42:10
  me
• 42:10
  to
• 42:10
  her.
• 42:11
  It's
• 42:11
  a
• 42:12
  really
• 42:12
  nice
• 42:12
  combination.
• 42:13
  And
• 42:13
  I
• 42:13
  think
• 42:14
  people
• 42:14
  are
• 42:14
  going
• 42:14
  to
• 42:14
  be
• 42:15
  surprised
• 42:16
  at
• 42:16
  how
• 42:16
  elevated
• 42:17
  and
• 42:17
  how.
• 42:17
  Much
• 42:17
  fun
• 42:18
  and
• 42:18
  it's
• 42:19
  dangerous
• 42:20
  and
• 42:20
  it's.
• 42:20
  Realistic,
• 42:21
  and
• 42:21
  it
• 42:21
  could
• 42:21
  happen
• 42:22
  to
• 42:22
  any
• 42:22
  of
• 42:24
  the
• 42:24
  readers
• 42:25
  on
• 42:25
  any
• 42:25
  given
• 42:26
  weekend
• 42:26
  in
• 42:26
  the
• 42:26
  Hamptons.
• 42:27
  You
• 42:28
  know,
• 42:28
  you
• 42:28
  never
• 42:28
  know
• 42:28
  when
• 42:28
  you
• 42:28
  walk
• 42:29
  into
• 42:29
  Gurney's
• 42:29
  and
• 42:30
  you
• 42:30
  run
• 42:30
  into
• 42:30
  a
• 42:30
  future
• 42:31
  New
• 42:31
  York
• 42:32
  Ranger
• 42:32
  rookie
• 42:33
  or
• 42:34
  the
• 42:34
  captain
• 42:34
  of
• 42:34
  the
• 42:35
  team.
• 42:36
  So
• 42:36
  I
• 42:36
  think
• 42:36
  it's
• 42:36
  very
• 42:36
  exciting.
• 42:37
  Very,
• 42:38
  very
• 42:38
  possible,
• 42:39
  too.
• 42:39
  As
• 42:39
  you
• 42:40
  say,
• 42:40
  Sean,
• 42:41
  a
• 42:41
  lot
• 42:41
  happening
• 42:42
  out
• 42:42
  there
• 42:42
  in
• 42:42
  the
• 42:42
  Hamptons,
• 42:43
  folks.
• 42:43
  As
• 42:44
  we
• 42:44
  all
• 42:44
  know,
• 42:44
  on
• 42:44
  Long
• 42:45
  Island,
• 42:46
  I
• 42:46
  could
• 42:46
  see
• 42:47
  this
• 42:47
  being
• 42:47
  a
• 42:47
  Lifetime
• 42:48
  movie.
• 42:48
  What
• 42:48
  do
• 42:49
  you
• 42:49
  guys
• 42:49
  think?
• 42:51
  Right?
• 42:53
  Yeah,
• 42:53
  no,
• 42:54
  I
• 42:54
  think,
• 42:54
  listen,
• 42:55
  Lifetime
• 42:56
  makes
• 42:57
  great
• 42:57
  American
• 42:57
  Family.
• 42:58
  They
• 42:58
  all
• 42:58
  make
• 42:58
  great
• 42:59
  movies.
• 43:00
  This
• 43:00
  is
• 43:00
  extremely
• 43:01
  elevated.
• 43:02
  I
• 43:03
  think
• 43:03
  that
• 43:03
  this.
• 43:05
  Is
• 43:05
  it
• 43:05
  a
• 43:05
  movie?
• 43:05
  Is
• 43:06
  it
• 43:06
  a
• 43:06
  television
• 43:06
  show?
• 43:08
  They're
• 43:08
  actually
• 43:08
  making
• 43:09
  a
• 43:09
  show
• 43:09
  right
• 43:09
  now
• 43:10
  based
• 43:10
  on
• 43:10
  the
• 43:11
  number
• 43:11
  one
• 43:11
  hockey
• 43:12
  romance
• 43:13
  novel
• 43:13
  called
• 43:14
  Off
• 43:14
  Campus.
• 43:15
  It's
• 43:16
  an
• 43:16
  Amazon
• 43:16
  show.
• 43:19
  So
• 43:19
  it
• 43:20
  could.
• 43:20
  Go
• 43:20
  either
• 43:20
  way,
• 43:21
  but
• 43:22
  hopefully
• 43:24
  the
• 43:24
  phone's
• 43:24
  going
• 43:24
  to
• 43:25
  be
• 43:25
  ringing
• 43:25
  quite
• 43:25
  a
• 43:25
  bit.
• 43:26
  I
• 43:26
  think
• 43:26
  once
• 43:26
  people
• 43:27
  get
• 43:27
  their
• 43:27
  hands
• 43:28
  on
• 43:28
  this.
• 43:29
  The
• 43:29
  romance
• 43:30
  category
• 43:31
  is
• 43:31
  a
• 43:31
  word
• 43:32
  of
• 43:32
  mouth
• 43:32
  category.
• 43:33
  Now,
• 43:33
  Book
• 43:33
  talk
• 43:34
  is
• 43:35
  extremely
• 43:36
  influential.
• 43:37
  These
• 43:37
  books
• 43:38
  sell
• 43:38
  themselves
• 43:38
  to
• 43:39
  a
• 43:39
  certain
• 43:39
  extent
• 43:40
  because
• 43:40
  you
• 43:40
  read
• 43:41
  one
• 43:41
  and
• 43:41
  you
• 43:41
  want
• 43:41
  to
• 43:42
  tell
• 43:42
  somebody,
• 43:43
  you
• 43:43
  want
• 43:43
  to
• 43:43
  tell
• 43:43
  another
• 43:43
  mom
• 43:44
  at
• 43:44
  the
• 43:44
  school,
• 43:44
  or
• 43:45
  in
• 43:45
  this
• 43:46
  case,
• 43:46
  hopefully
• 43:46
  it's
• 43:46
  going
• 43:46
  to
• 43:47
  be,
• 43:47
  you
• 43:47
  know,
• 43:48
  another
• 43:48
  guy
• 43:48
  at
• 43:48
  work
• 43:49
  or
• 43:49
  on
• 43:49
  the
• 43:49
  hockey
• 43:50
  team,
• 43:50
  the
• 43:50
  beer
• 43:50
  league
• 43:51
  team.
• 43:51
  Like,
• 43:51
  hey,
• 43:51
  I
• 43:51
  read
• 43:52
  this
• 43:52
  book
• 43:52
  my
• 43:52
  wife
• 43:53
  was
• 43:53
  reading.
• 43:53
  You
• 43:53
  should
• 43:53
  get
• 43:54
  this
• 43:54
  for
• 43:54
  your
• 43:55
  wife
• 43:55
  and
• 43:55
  maybe
• 43:56
  read
• 43:56
  it
• 43:56
  yourself.
• 43:57
  So
• 43:58
  that.
• 43:58
  Yeah,
• 43:58
  it's
• 43:59
  crazy.
• 43:59
  I
• 43:59
  have
• 43:59
  so
• 43:59
  many
• 44:00
  friends
• 44:00
  who
• 44:00
  their
• 44:01
  husbands,
• 44:01
  like,
• 44:02
  they
• 44:02
  can't
• 44:02
  remember
• 44:02
  the
• 44:03
  last
• 44:03
  time
• 44:03
  they
• 44:03
  and
• 44:03
  their
• 44:04
  husbands
• 44:04
  have
• 44:04
  read
• 44:04
  the
• 44:05
  same
• 44:05
  book,
• 44:06
  which
• 44:07
  is
• 44:07
  very
• 44:07
  unusual.
• 44:08
  You
• 44:08
  know,
• 44:08
  it's
• 44:08
  really.
• 44:09
  There's
• 44:09
  something
• 44:09
  for
• 44:09
  everybody,
• 44:10
  men
• 44:10
  and
• 44:10
  women,
• 44:11
  so,
• 44:11
  so
• 44:12
  interesting.
• 44:12
  Yeah.
• 44:12
  We're
• 44:13
  speaking
• 44:13
  to
• 44:13
  Leslie
• 44:14
  Cohen
• 44:15
  and
• 44:15
  the
• 44:16
  great
• 44:16
  Sean
• 44:16
  Avery
• 44:17
  about
• 44:17
  their
• 44:18
  New
• 44:18
  book,
• 44:18
  Summer
• 44:19
  Skate
• 44:19
  Now,
• 44:20
  Leslie.
• 44:21
  Messy,
• 44:21
  self
• 44:22
  destructive
• 44:23
  characters,
• 44:23
  which
• 44:23
  is
• 44:24
  what
• 44:24
  we
• 44:24
  have
• 44:24
  there.
• 44:25
  Why
• 44:25
  are
• 44:26
  they
• 44:26
  so
• 44:26
  appealing?
• 44:29
  Well,
• 44:30
  I
• 44:30
  think
• 44:30
  that
• 44:31
  that
• 44:31
  is
• 44:31
  what
• 44:32
  makes
• 44:32
  our
• 44:32
  book
• 44:32
  different
• 44:33
  from
• 44:33
  the
• 44:33
  others
• 44:33
  in
• 44:33
  the
• 44:34
  genre
• 44:34
  is
• 44:34
  that
• 44:35
  we
• 44:35
  really
• 44:35
  wanted
• 44:36
  to
• 44:36
  have
• 44:36
  people
• 44:36
  who
• 44:37
  felt
• 44:37
  real
• 44:37
  and
• 44:38
  authentic.
• 44:38
  And
• 44:39
  a
• 44:39
  lot
• 44:39
  of
• 44:39
  the
• 44:39
  problem
• 44:39
  with
• 44:40
  the
• 44:40
  romance
• 44:40
  genre
• 44:41
  to
• 44:41
  me
• 44:41
  is
• 44:41
  like,
• 44:42
  it's
• 44:42
  just
• 44:42
  a
• 44:43
  fantasy
• 44:44
  that
• 44:44
  we
• 44:44
  wanted
• 44:45
  to
• 44:45
  keep
• 44:45
  the
• 44:45
  good
• 44:45
  parts
• 44:46
  of
• 44:46
  the
• 44:46
  fantasy
• 44:46
  without
• 44:47
  the
• 44:47
  annoying
• 44:48
  parts.
• 44:48
  Like
• 44:49
  the
• 44:49
  part
• 44:49
  where
• 44:49
  you
• 44:50
  read
• 44:50
  and
• 44:50
  you're
• 44:50
  like,
• 44:51
  I
• 44:51
  don't
• 44:51
  know
• 44:52
  anybody
• 44:52
  who
• 44:52
  speaks
• 44:53
  that
• 44:53
  way.
• 44:54
  Like,
• 44:54
  I
• 44:55
  don't.
• 44:55
  I've
• 44:55
  never
• 44:56
  had
• 44:56
  a
• 44:56
  friend
• 44:56
  who
• 44:56
  this
• 44:57
  has
• 44:57
  happened
• 44:57
  to.
• 44:58
  You
• 44:58
  know,
• 44:58
  we
• 44:58
  want
• 44:58
  it
• 44:58
  to
• 44:58
  be
• 44:59
  exciting
• 44:59
  and
• 44:59
  extraordinary,
• 45:01
  but
• 45:01
  we
• 45:01
  also
• 45:01
  want
• 45:02
  these
• 45:02
  characters
• 45:03
  to
• 45:03
  have
• 45:03
  real
• 45:03
  flaws
• 45:04
  and
• 45:04
  real
• 45:04
  problems.
• 45:05
  Yeah.
• 45:06
  And
• 45:06
  just.
• 45:07
  And
• 45:07
  you
• 45:07
  know,
• 45:08
  keep
• 45:08
  it
• 45:09
  very
• 45:09
  genuine
• 45:09
  and
• 45:09
  authentic
• 45:10
  to
• 45:11
  like
• 45:11
  how
• 45:11
  people
• 45:12
  really
• 45:12
  are.
• 45:13
  And
• 45:14
  we
• 45:14
  don't
• 45:14
  need
• 45:14
  people
• 45:15
  who
• 45:15
  are
• 45:15
  perfect
• 45:16
  and
• 45:16
  nothing
• 45:17
  bad
• 45:17
  ever
• 45:17
  happens
• 45:17
  to
• 45:18
  them.
• 45:18
  Like,
• 45:18
  that's
• 45:18
  so
• 45:19
  boring.
• 45:19
  Right.
• 45:20
  And
• 45:20
  there
• 45:21
  really
• 45:21
  is
• 45:21
  kind
• 45:22
  of
• 45:22
  a
• 45:22
  blurry
• 45:22
  line
• 45:23
  between
• 45:24
  love
• 45:24
  and
• 45:25
  obsession
• 45:26
  in
• 45:26
  these
• 45:26
  two
• 45:27
  worlds.
• 45:29
  Yeah.
• 45:29
  I
• 45:30
  mean,
• 45:30
  I
• 45:30
  think,
• 45:30
  you
• 45:30
  know,
• 45:31
  love
• 45:31
  and
• 45:31
  obsession
• 45:32
  is
• 45:32
  like,
• 45:34
  it's
• 45:35
  interesting
• 45:35
  because
• 45:35
  how
• 45:35
  do
• 45:35
  you
• 45:36
  love
• 45:36
  something,
• 45:36
  certainly
• 45:37
  from
• 45:37
  a
• 45:37
  hockey
• 45:37
  player
• 45:38
  standpoint
• 45:38
  or
• 45:38
  an
• 45:39
  athlete's
• 45:39
  standpoint
• 45:39
  standpoint.
• 45:40
  How
• 45:40
  do
• 45:41
  you
• 45:41
  love
• 45:41
  something
• 45:42
  and
• 45:42
  not
• 45:42
  be
• 45:43
  obsessive
• 45:43
  about
• 45:43
  it?
• 45:44
  If
• 45:44
  you
• 45:44
  want
• 45:44
  to
• 45:44
  be
• 45:44
  a
• 45:44
  pro,
• 45:45
  it's
• 45:46
  kind
• 45:46
  of
• 45:46
  like
• 45:46
  the
• 45:46
  two
• 45:47
  ingredients
• 45:47
  that
• 45:47
  you
• 45:48
  have
• 45:48
  to
• 45:48
  have,
• 45:48
  but
• 45:49
  it's
• 45:49
  also
• 45:49
  very
• 45:49
  dangerous,
• 45:51
  certainly
• 45:52
  when
• 45:53
  you
• 45:53
  put
• 45:53
  it
• 45:53
  into,
• 45:55
  you
• 45:55
  know,
• 45:56
  a
• 45:57
  male
• 45:57
  and
• 45:57
  a
• 45:57
  female.
• 45:58
  And
• 45:58
  what
• 45:58
  can
• 45:58
  happen
• 45:59
  when
• 45:59
  that.
• 45:59
  When
• 45:59
  that
• 46:00
  sort
• 46:00
  of
• 46:00
  starts
• 46:00
  popping
• 46:01
  off.
• 46:02
  Danger.
• 46:02
  You're
• 46:03
  right,
• 46:03
  Sean.
• 46:03
  Now,
• 46:04
  the
• 46:05
  book
• 46:05
  again,
• 46:06
  folks,
• 46:06
  called
• 46:06
  Summer
• 46:07
  Skate,
• 46:07
  it
• 46:08
  redefines
• 46:09
  romance
• 46:10
  and
• 46:11
  injects
• 46:12
  sports
• 46:13
  and
• 46:14
  darkness
• 46:15
  and
• 46:15
  kind
• 46:15
  of
• 46:15
  realism.
• 46:18
  Yeah,
• 46:18
  yeah,
• 46:18
  I
• 46:19
  think.
• 46:19
  Listen,
• 46:20
  I
• 46:20
  remember
• 46:20
  when
• 46:21
  the
• 46:21
  50
• 46:21
  Shades
• 46:22
  craze
• 46:23
  started
• 46:23
  and
• 46:24
  what
• 46:25
  you
• 46:25
  saw
• 46:25
  was
• 46:26
  the
• 46:26
  initial
• 46:27
  run
• 46:27
  was
• 46:28
  women
• 46:28
  were
• 46:28
  reading
• 46:28
  the
• 46:29
  book.
• 46:30
  And
• 46:30
  then
• 46:30
  all
• 46:30
  of
• 46:30
  a
• 46:30
  sudden
• 46:32
  on
• 46:32
  the
• 46:32
  subway
• 46:32
  or
• 46:32
  I'd
• 46:33
  get
• 46:33
  on
• 46:33
  an
• 46:33
  airplane
• 46:33
  and
• 46:34
  you'd
• 46:34
  see
• 46:34
  a
• 46:34
  man
• 46:35
  reading
• 46:35
  the
• 46:35
  book,
• 46:35
  but
• 46:35
  he'd
• 46:36
  have
• 46:36
  the
• 46:36
  COVID
• 46:36
  folded
• 46:37
  over
• 46:37
  so
• 46:37
  that
• 46:38
  you
• 46:38
  couldn't
• 46:38
  tell
• 46:38
  he
• 46:38
  was
• 46:39
  reading
• 46:39
  it.
• 46:40
  I
• 46:40
  think
• 46:40
  that,
• 46:41
  you
• 46:42
  know,
• 46:42
  that's
• 46:43
  the
• 46:43
  holy
• 46:43
  grail,
• 46:44
  but
• 46:44
  that's
• 46:44
  also
• 46:44
  how
• 46:45
  you
• 46:45
  should
• 46:45
  be
• 46:45
  writing
• 46:47
  because
• 46:49
  like
• 46:49
  Leslie
• 46:50
  said,
• 46:50
  you
• 46:50
  know,
• 46:50
  men
• 46:51
  and
• 46:51
  women,
• 46:52
  it's
• 46:53
  nice.
• 46:53
  It's
• 46:54
  nice
• 46:54
  to
• 46:54
  think
• 46:54
  about
• 46:55
  reading
• 46:55
  the
• 46:55
  same
• 46:55
  book
• 46:56
  and
• 46:56
  like,
• 46:56
  but
• 46:57
  getting
• 46:57
  different
• 46:57
  things
• 46:57
  from
• 46:58
  it.
• 46:58
  And
• 46:59
  I
• 46:59
  think
• 46:59
  as
• 46:59
  we
• 46:59
  evolve
• 47:00
  and
• 47:00
  as
• 47:01
  hopefully
• 47:01
  the
• 47:01
  series
• 47:02
  evolves.
• 47:05
  We'Ll
• 47:05
  start.
• 47:05
  To
• 47:05
  play
• 47:06
  into
• 47:06
  those
• 47:06
  things
• 47:06
  a
• 47:07
  little
• 47:07
  bit
• 47:07
  more,
• 47:07
  you
• 47:08
  know,
• 47:08
  because
• 47:08
  we're
• 47:08
  dealing
• 47:09
  with
• 47:09
  a
• 47:09
  young
• 47:09
  subject
• 47:10
  too.
• 47:11
  Carter's
• 47:12
  a
• 47:12
  young
• 47:12
  kid.
• 47:12
  He's
• 47:13
  a
• 47:13
  rookie.
• 47:13
  He's
• 47:13
  got
• 47:14
  a
• 47:14
  lot
• 47:14
  to
• 47:14
  learn.
• 47:16
  The
• 47:16
  target
• 47:16
  audience
• 47:17
  for
• 47:17
  the
• 47:17
  book,
• 47:18
  as
• 47:18
  I
• 47:19
  said,
• 47:20
  fascinating
• 47:21
  in
• 47:21
  that
• 47:21
  it's
• 47:22
  both
• 47:22
  men
• 47:22
  and
• 47:22
  women.
• 47:23
  And
• 47:23
  like
• 47:24
  you
• 47:24
  say,
• 47:25
  a
• 47:25
  husband
• 47:25
  and
• 47:25
  wife
• 47:26
  could
• 47:26
  share
• 47:26
  this
• 47:26
  book,
• 47:27
  discuss
• 47:27
  it,
• 47:28
  and
• 47:29
  that's
• 47:29
  what
• 47:29
  makes
• 47:29
  it
• 47:30
  great.
• 47:31
  Yeah.
• 47:32
  Characters
• 47:32
  have
• 47:33
  such
• 47:33
  different
• 47:33
  backgrounds,
• 47:34
  and
• 47:35
  I
• 47:35
  think
• 47:35
  Sean
• 47:35
  and
• 47:35
  I
• 47:36
  have
• 47:36
  such
• 47:36
  different
• 47:36
  backgrounds.
• 47:37
  This
• 47:37
  doesn't
• 47:38
  always
• 47:38
  make
• 47:38
  for
• 47:38
  the
• 47:39
  most
• 47:39
  peaceful
• 47:39
  working
• 47:40
  situation,
• 47:40
  but
• 47:41
  I
• 47:41
  think
• 47:41
  the
• 47:41
  friction
• 47:42
  is
• 47:42
  what
• 47:42
  makes
• 47:42
  the
• 47:42
  book
• 47:43
  really
• 47:43
  great
• 47:43
  and
• 47:43
  what
• 47:44
  makes
• 47:44
  it,
• 47:44
  you
• 47:44
  know,
• 47:44
  like,
• 47:45
  we
• 47:45
  all
• 47:45
  can
• 47:45
  get
• 47:45
  so
• 47:46
  stuck
• 47:46
  in
• 47:46
  our
• 47:46
  rust
• 47:47
  and
• 47:47
  are
• 47:47
  stuck
• 47:47
  in
• 47:47
  our
• 47:48
  perspectives
• 47:48
  and
• 47:48
  ways
• 47:49
  of
• 47:49
  thinking
• 47:49
  about
• 47:49
  things.
• 47:51
  And
• 47:51
  it's
• 47:51
  just.
• 47:52
  It's
• 47:52
  so
• 47:52
  beneficial
• 47:53
  for
• 47:53
  a
• 47:53
  novel
• 47:54
  to
• 47:54
  have
• 47:54
  this
• 47:54
  cast
• 47:55
  of
• 47:55
  colorful
• 47:55
  characters
• 47:56
  where
• 47:57
  you
• 47:57
  have
• 47:57
  one
• 47:57
  chapter
• 47:58
  and
• 47:58
  it's
• 47:59
  a
• 47:59
  certain
• 47:59
  feel.
• 48:00
  Has
• 48:00
  a
• 48:00
  certain
• 48:00
  feel
• 48:01
  to
• 48:01
  it,
• 48:01
  and
• 48:01
  another
• 48:01
  chapter
• 48:02
  has
• 48:02
  another
• 48:02
  feel
• 48:02
  to
• 48:03
  it.
• 48:03
  Sort
• 48:03
  of
• 48:03
  reminds
• 48:04
  me
• 48:04
  of,
• 48:04
  like,
• 48:04
  a
• 48:05
  really
• 48:05
  great
• 48:05
  song
• 48:06
  that
• 48:06
  has
• 48:06
  different
• 48:06
  parts
• 48:07
  to
• 48:07
  it,
• 48:07
  like
• 48:08
  Bohemian
• 48:08
  Rhapsody
• 48:09
  or
• 48:09
  scenes
• 48:09
  from
• 48:09
  an
• 48:09
  Italian
• 48:10
  restaurant,
• 48:10
  where
• 48:10
  it's,
• 48:11
  like,
• 48:11
  really
• 48:11
  fast
• 48:11
  in
• 48:12
  one
• 48:12
  chapter
• 48:12
  and
• 48:12
  a
• 48:13
  little
• 48:13
  bit
• 48:13
  slower
• 48:13
  and
• 48:13
  more
• 48:14
  melodic
• 48:14
  in
• 48:14
  another,
• 48:15
  so
• 48:15
  you
• 48:15
  never
• 48:15
  get
• 48:15
  bored.
• 48:16
  And
• 48:16
  it's
• 48:16
  just
• 48:17
  moving
• 48:17
  from
• 48:17
  one
• 48:17
  tempo
• 48:18
  to
• 48:18
  another
• 48:19
  with
• 48:19
  characters
• 48:20
  who
• 48:20
  are
• 48:20
  very
• 48:21
  different
• 48:21
  but
• 48:21
  come
• 48:22
  together
• 48:22
  on
• 48:22
  certain
• 48:23
  things
• 48:23
  and,
• 48:23
  you
• 48:24
  know,
• 48:24
  fall
• 48:24
  apart
• 48:24
  on
• 48:25
  others.
• 48:25
  And
• 48:25
  so
• 48:26
  it's
• 48:26
  not
• 48:26
  just
• 48:26
  one
• 48:26
  note.
• 48:27
  That's
• 48:28
  a
• 48:28
  great
• 48:28
  comparison,
• 48:29
  Leslie.
• 48:29
  It
• 48:29
  really
• 48:29
  is.
• 48:30
  Between
• 48:31
  the
• 48:31
  music
• 48:31
  and
• 48:32
  the
• 48:32
  book,
• 48:33
  and
• 48:33
  with
• 48:34
  you
• 48:35
  with
• 48:35
  the
• 48:36
  literary
• 48:36
  world
• 48:36
  and
• 48:37
  Sean
• 48:37
  with
• 48:38
  the
• 48:38
  NHL,
• 48:39
  you
• 48:39
  really
• 48:39
  get
• 48:40
  to
• 48:40
  see
• 48:40
  what
• 48:41
  it's
• 48:41
  like
• 48:41
  behind
• 48:42
  the
• 48:42
  scenes
• 48:42
  of
• 48:43
  these
• 48:43
  two
• 48:43
  worlds.
• 48:44
  Yes.
• 48:45
  And
• 48:45
  actually,
• 48:45
  Sean
• 48:46
  was
• 48:46
  really
• 48:46
  good
• 48:46
  at
• 48:46
  providing
• 48:47
  insider
• 48:47
  information
• 48:48
  to
• 48:48
  the
• 48:48
  point
• 48:49
  where
• 48:49
  there
• 48:49
  was
• 48:49
  one
• 48:49
  scene
• 48:50
  where
• 48:50
  we
• 48:50
  wanted
• 48:51
  to
• 48:51
  set
• 48:51
  this
• 48:51
  really
• 48:52
  sexy,
• 48:53
  romantic
• 48:53
  scene
• 48:54
  in
• 48:54
  the
• 48:54
  laundry
• 48:55
  room
• 48:55
  at
• 48:55
  Madison
• 48:55
  Square
• 48:56
  Garden.
• 48:56
  Oh,
• 48:57
  wow.
• 48:57
  And
• 48:58
  I
• 48:58
  was
• 48:58
  looking
• 48:58
  for
• 48:58
  footage
• 48:59
  online,
• 48:59
  and
• 48:59
  I
• 48:59
  said
• 49:00
  to
• 49:00
  Sean,
• 49:00
  you
• 49:00
  know,
• 49:00
  I
• 49:00
  can't
• 49:01
  find
• 49:01
  any
• 49:01
  footage
• 49:02
  of
• 49:02
  the
• 49:02
  laundry
• 49:02
  room
• 49:02
  at
• 49:02
  Madison
• 49:03
  Square
• 49:03
  Garden,
• 49:04
  because
• 49:04
  obviously,
• 49:05
  where
• 49:05
  would
• 49:05
  that
• 49:05
  exist?
• 49:06
  Nobody
• 49:06
  wants
• 49:06
  to
• 49:07
  see
• 49:07
  that.
• 49:07
  And
• 49:08
  so
• 49:08
  he
• 49:08
  actually
• 49:08
  texted
• 49:09
  the
• 49:09
  Rangers
• 49:10
  equipment
• 49:10
  manager,
• 49:11
  like,
• 49:11
  the
• 49:11
  current
• 49:11
  Rangers
• 49:12
  equipment
• 49:12
  manager,
• 49:13
  and
• 49:13
  was
• 49:14
  like,
• 49:14
  do
• 49:14
  you
• 49:14
  have
• 49:14
  any
• 49:14
  photos
• 49:15
  on
• 49:15
  your
• 49:15
  phone
• 49:15
  of
• 49:15
  the
• 49:15
  laundry
• 49:16
  room,
• 49:16
  Madison
• 49:17
  Square
• 49:17
  Garden?
• 49:17
  And
• 49:17
  of
• 49:17
  course,
• 49:18
  he
• 49:18
  was
• 49:18
  like,
• 49:18
  no.
• 49:21
  But,
• 49:21
  you
• 49:22
  know,
• 49:22
  he
• 49:22
  described
• 49:22
  it
• 49:23
  to
• 49:23
  us,
• 49:23
  and
• 49:23
  I
• 49:23
  was
• 49:23
  like,
• 49:23
  does
• 49:24
  it
• 49:24
  smell
• 49:24
  like
• 49:24
  sweat?
• 49:25
  Does
• 49:25
  it
• 49:25
  smell
• 49:25
  like
• 49:25
  blood?
• 49:26
  You
• 49:26
  know,
• 49:26
  and
• 49:26
  it
• 49:26
  was
• 49:27
  just
• 49:27
  really
• 49:27
  fun
• 49:27
  to
• 49:27
  be
• 49:28
  able
• 49:28
  to
• 49:28
  get
• 49:28
  somebody
• 49:29
  who's
• 49:29
  actually
• 49:30
  there,
• 49:30
  like,
• 49:31
  on
• 49:31
  the
• 49:31
  ground
• 49:32
  to
• 49:32
  tell
• 49:32
  us
• 49:33
  how
• 49:33
  many
• 49:34
  washers
• 49:34
  and.
• 49:34
  Dryers
• 49:35
  are
• 49:35
  in
• 49:35
  this
• 49:35
  laundry
• 49:36
  room.
• 49:36
  How
• 49:36
  often
• 49:37
  do
• 49:37
  you
• 49:37
  do
• 49:37
  the
• 49:37
  laundry?
• 49:38
  Yes.
• 49:39
  Like
• 49:39
  that.
• 49:40
  That
• 49:40
  we
• 49:40
  need
• 49:40
  to
• 49:40
  know.
• 49:42
  We
• 49:42
  need
• 49:42
  to
• 49:42
  know
• 49:42
  what
• 49:43
  the
• 49:43
  laundry.
• 49:43
  Room
• 49:43
  Madison
• 49:44
  Square
• 49:44
  Garden
• 49:44
  looks
• 49:45
  like.
• 49:45
  Exactly,
• 49:45
  exactly.
• 49:46
  Yeah.
• 49:46
  I
• 49:46
  bet
• 49:46
  you've
• 49:47
  never
• 49:47
  thought
• 49:47
  about
• 49:47
  it
• 49:48
  before,
• 49:48
  but
• 49:48
  we
• 49:48
  thought
• 49:49
  it
• 49:49
  would
• 49:49
  make
• 49:49
  for
• 49:49
  an
• 49:49
  awfully
• 49:50
  sexy
• 49:50
  time.
• 49:51
  Yeah,
• 49:51
  no,
• 49:52
  that's
• 49:52
  a
• 49:52
  good
• 49:52
  idea.
• 49:53
  Boy,
• 49:53
  oh
• 49:54
  boy,
• 49:55
  the
• 49:55
  feedback
• 49:56
  that
• 49:56
  you
• 49:56
  received
• 49:57
  thus
• 49:57
  far,
• 49:58
  guys,
• 49:58
  how's
• 49:59
  it
• 49:59
  been?
• 50:01
  I
• 50:01
  mean,
• 50:01
  people
• 50:02
  are
• 50:02
  emailing
• 50:03
  and
• 50:03
  Texting
• 50:04
  me
• 50:04
  at
• 50:04
  4
• 50:04
  o'
• 50:04
  clock
• 50:05
  in
• 50:05
  the
• 50:05
  morning.
• 50:05
  I
• 50:05
  read
• 50:05
  this
• 50:06
  in
• 50:06
  one
• 50:06
  sitting.
• 50:07
  You
• 50:07
  know,
• 50:07
  everyone
• 50:08
  is
• 50:08
  just
• 50:08
  over
• 50:09
  the
• 50:09
  top,
• 50:10
  excited
• 50:10
  and
• 50:11
  hooked
• 50:11
  on
• 50:11
  this
• 50:11
  book.
• 50:13
  Now,
• 50:13
  I
• 50:13
  saw
• 50:13
  a
• 50:13
  photo
• 50:14
  of
• 50:14
  you
• 50:14
  two
• 50:14
  guys
• 50:14
  that
• 50:15
  I
• 50:15
  used
• 50:15
  in
• 50:15
  my
• 50:15
  social
• 50:16
  media
• 50:18
  of
• 50:18
  you
• 50:18
  two
• 50:18
  guys
• 50:19
  that
• 50:19
  looked
• 50:19
  like
• 50:19
  a
• 50:19
  book
• 50:19
  fair.
• 50:20
  Was
• 50:20
  that
• 50:20
  out
• 50:20
  in
• 50:20
  the
• 50:21
  Hamptons,
• 50:21
  Sean?
• 50:23
  It
• 50:23
  was,
• 50:23
  yeah.
• 50:24
  We
• 50:24
  went
• 50:24
  to
• 50:24
  the
• 50:24
  annual
• 50:25
  East
• 50:25
  Hampton
• 50:25
  Authors
• 50:26
  Night,
• 50:26
  which
• 50:26
  is
• 50:28
  through
• 50:28
  the
• 50:28
  East
• 50:28
  Hampton
• 50:29
  Public
• 50:29
  Library.
• 50:30
  They
• 50:30
  do
• 50:30
  it
• 50:30
  every
• 50:30
  summer.
• 50:31
  Local
• 50:32
  authors,
• 50:32
  they
• 50:33
  preview
• 50:33
  them
• 50:34
  on
• 50:34
  their
• 50:34
  upcoming
• 50:35
  books.
• 50:36
  People
• 50:36
  come
• 50:36
  out,
• 50:37
  they
• 50:37
  get
• 50:37
  to
• 50:37
  buy
• 50:37
  books,
• 50:38
  support
• 50:38
  the.
• 50:39
  Support
• 50:39
  the
• 50:40
  library.
• 50:40
  So,
• 50:40
  yeah,
• 50:41
  we
• 50:41
  were
• 50:41
  out
• 50:41
  there
• 50:41
  and
• 50:42
  signed
• 50:42
  a
• 50:42
  book.
• 50:43
  A
• 50:43
  lot
• 50:43
  of
• 50:43
  books.
• 50:44
  Unfortunately,
• 50:45
  we
• 50:45
  didn't
• 50:45
  sign
• 50:45
  as
• 50:46
  many
• 50:46
  as
• 50:46
  Hilaria
• 50:47
  Baldwin.
• 50:47
  She
• 50:47
  was
• 50:47
  a
• 50:48
  real
• 50:48
  hit
• 50:48
  that
• 50:48
  night.
• 50:51
  Alec
• 50:51
  was
• 50:52
  with
• 50:52
  her,
• 50:52
  so
• 50:52
  I
• 50:52
  think
• 50:52
  that
• 50:53
  helped.
• 50:53
  But
• 50:54
  it
• 50:54
  was
• 50:54
  a
• 50:54
  good
• 50:54
  showing.
• 50:55
  Yeah,
• 50:56
  no,
• 50:56
  it
• 50:56
  sounds
• 50:56
  like
• 50:57
  it.
• 50:57
  I
• 50:58
  wish
• 50:58
  I
• 50:58
  would
• 50:58
  have
• 50:58
  attended
• 50:59
  this
• 50:59
  year
• 50:59
  because
• 51:00
  I
• 51:00
  would
• 51:00
  have
• 51:00
  liked
• 51:01
  to
• 51:01
  meet
• 51:01
  you
• 51:01
  guys
• 51:01
  and
• 51:02
  get
• 51:02
  a
• 51:02
  copy
• 51:02
  of
• 51:02
  the
• 51:03
  book.
• 51:03
  We're
• 51:03
  speaking
• 51:04
  to
• 51:04
  Leslie
• 51:04
  Cohen
• 51:05
  and
• 51:05
  Sean
• 51:05
  Avery
• 51:06
  about
• 51:06
  their
• 51:07
  great
• 51:07
  new
• 51:07
  book,
• 51:08
  Summer
• 51:09
  Skate.
• 51:09
  Now,
• 51:10
  any
• 51:11
  upcoming
• 51:11
  projects
• 51:12
  for
• 51:13
  you,
• 51:13
  Leslie,
• 51:13
  or
• 51:14
  for
• 51:14
  you,
• 51:14
  Sean?
• 51:16
  I
• 51:16
  know
• 51:16
  there's
• 51:16
  probably
• 51:17
  going
• 51:17
  to
• 51:17
  be
• 51:17
  a
• 51:17
  second
• 51:17
  in
• 51:18
  the
• 51:18
  series.
• 51:18
  Anything
• 51:19
  else
• 51:19
  on
• 51:19
  the
• 51:19
  horizon
• 51:20
  for
• 51:20
  you
• 51:20
  two
• 51:21
  folks?
• 51:23
  Well,
• 51:23
  now
• 51:23
  we
• 51:23
  get
• 51:24
  out
• 51:24
  and
• 51:24
  we
• 51:25
  do
• 51:25
  the
• 51:25
  PR
• 51:26
  dance
• 51:26
  and
• 51:26
  we
• 51:26
  try
• 51:27
  and
• 51:27
  get
• 51:27
  the
• 51:27
  book
• 51:27
  in
• 51:28
  front
• 51:28
  of
• 51:28
  as
• 51:28
  many
• 51:28
  people
• 51:29
  as
• 51:30
  we
• 51:30
  can.
• 51:33
  As
• 51:33
  far
• 51:33
  as
• 51:33
  personally,
• 51:34
  I
• 51:34
  just
• 51:34
  finished
• 51:35
  filming
• 51:35
  a
• 51:36
  movie
• 51:36
  that
• 51:38
  took
• 51:39
  us
• 51:39
  all
• 51:39
  over
• 51:39
  the
• 51:39
  world
• 51:39
  and
• 51:40
  it
• 51:40
  was
• 51:40
  five
• 51:40
  or
• 51:41
  six
• 51:41
  months
• 51:41
  long.
• 51:42
  It's
• 51:42
  coming
• 51:42
  out
• 51:43
  next
• 51:43
  summer.
• 51:43
  So
• 51:43
  that
• 51:44
  was
• 51:44
  exciting.
• 51:44
  Really
• 51:45
  incredible
• 51:45
  experience.
• 51:48
  And
• 51:49
  then
• 51:49
  I
• 51:49
  just,
• 51:49
  you
• 51:49
  know,
• 51:50
  now
• 51:50
  I
• 51:50
  wake
• 51:50
  up
• 51:50
  tomorrow
• 51:51
  and
• 51:51
  try
• 51:51
  and
• 51:51
  get
• 51:51
  the
• 51:51
  next
• 51:52
  one.
• 51:53
  It's
• 51:53
  much
• 51:53
  different
• 51:54
  than
• 51:54
  being
• 51:54
  an
• 51:54
  athlete
• 51:55
  where
• 51:55
  you.
• 51:55
  You
• 51:55
  can
• 51:55
  have
• 51:56
  some
• 51:56
  stability.
• 51:56
  The
• 51:57
  world
• 51:57
  of
• 51:57
  acting,
• 51:57
  you
• 51:58
  just
• 51:58
  wake
• 51:58
  up
• 51:58
  and
• 51:58
  every
• 51:59
  day
• 51:59
  you're
• 51:59
  trying
• 51:59
  to
• 51:59
  chase
• 52:00
  a
• 52:00
  job.
• 52:01

  Now,
• 53:16
  as
• 53:16
  a
• 53:17
  hockey
• 53:17
  related
• 53:18
  question,
• 53:18
  Sean,
• 53:18
  I
• 53:19
  want
• 53:19
  to
• 53:19
  ask
• 53:19
  you,
• 53:19
  you
• 53:20
  played
• 53:20
  with
• 53:20
  a
• 53:20
  couple
• 53:21
  of
• 53:21
  NHL
• 53:22
  teams.
• 53:22
  Where
• 53:23
  does
• 53:23
  your
• 53:23
  time
• 53:23
  with
• 53:24
  the
• 53:24
  Rangers
• 53:25
  stack
• 53:25
  up
• 53:25
  with
• 53:25
  your
• 53:26
  other
• 53:26
  stops
• 53:26
  in
• 53:26
  the
• 53:27
  NHL?
• 53:29
  Yeah,
• 53:29
  I
• 53:29
  mean,
• 53:29
  I
• 53:29
  think.
• 53:31
  I
• 53:31
  think
• 53:32
  I
• 53:32
  really.
• 53:33
  When
• 53:33
  you
• 53:33
  think
• 53:33
  about
• 53:33
  it,
• 53:34
  I
• 53:34
  probably
• 53:34
  really
• 53:34
  only
• 53:34
  played
• 53:35
  for
• 53:35
  the
• 53:35
  Rangers.
• 53:37
  That's
• 53:38
  sort
• 53:38
  of
• 53:38
  how
• 53:38
  it
• 53:38
  feels
• 53:38
  like
• 53:39
  for
• 53:39
  me.
• 53:39
  You
• 53:39
  know,
• 53:42
  it's
• 53:42
  an
• 53:42
  incredible
• 53:43
  organization.
• 53:45
  I
• 53:45
  think
• 53:46
  Jim
• 53:46
  Dolan's
• 53:46
  one
• 53:47
  of
• 53:47
  the
• 53:47
  best
• 53:47
  owners
• 53:47
  in
• 53:47
  sports.
• 53:48
  I
• 53:48
  think
• 53:49
  the
• 53:49
  fans,
• 53:50
  although
• 53:51
  they've
• 53:51
  had
• 53:51
  a
• 53:51
  tough
• 53:52
  go
• 53:52
  the
• 53:52
  last,
• 53:52
  you
• 53:53
  know,
• 53:53
  four
• 53:53
  or
• 53:53
  five
• 53:54
  years,
• 53:54
  I
• 53:54
  think
• 53:54
  the
• 53:54
  fans
• 53:55
  are
• 53:55
  incredible.
• 53:55
  Ranger
• 53:56
  fans
• 53:56
  are
• 53:56
  incredible.
• 53:59
  From
• 53:59
  all
• 53:59
  over.
• 54:00
  You
• 54:00
  know,
• 54:00
  the
• 54:01
  boroughs,
• 54:01
  Long
• 54:02
  island,
• 54:03
  upstate.
• 54:04
  You
• 54:05
  know,
• 54:05
  it's
• 54:05
  a.
• 54:05
  There's
• 54:06
  a
• 54:06
  lot
• 54:06
  of
• 54:06
  Ranger
• 54:06
  fans
• 54:07
  in
• 54:07
  the
• 54:08
  state
• 54:08
  of
• 54:08
  New
• 54:08
  York.
• 54:08
  Not
• 54:09
  so
• 54:09
  many
• 54:09
  Islander
• 54:10
  fans.
• 54:10
  You
• 54:10
  know,
• 54:11
  there's
• 54:11
  a
• 54:11
  few.

  And

  then
• 54:13
  if

  God,
• 54:14
  God
• 54:14
  help
