• 0:38
  Speaker 1: a month and minimum at least three And I am
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: so pleased to be joined by this young lady for
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: whom I met on LinkedIn from who also does good
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: work that I see on Instagram and I go on there,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: but when I see her and we connected, it was
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: just unbelievable that this young lady is actually a graduate.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I think Jillian Well, Okay used to calling me a
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Jillian because I got it righted from my screen.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Either one works, Okay, Well, you.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Go to Syracuse University or you went they had a
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: conpectation up there. So tell me a little bit how
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: you embrace the history of the sportscasters that have gone
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: through Syracuse University. There's a lot of good ones in there,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and I'll all of a sudden, you're coming out of.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: That group too.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there's a ton I can't necessarily be
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: grouped in with those people quite yet. But there's some
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: greats coming out of there. Obviously you have Mike Turrico,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: and then there's a long long list of very very
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: established sportscasters that come out of Syracuse. So I'm just
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: thankful enough to have been in a program that kind
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: of sets that level of expectation from people who leave there.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: But I only did my grad school there. I did
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: not do my undergrad there, would you say?
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: So?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I did my undergrad at a UMass lowl In right
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: outside of Boston. I played lacrosse there, and then I
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: studied criminal justice with a minor in journalism. So really
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: the whole thing fell through with falling in love with
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: journalism and deciding that I needed to get my masters
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: in it if I really wanted to continue.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: We seem to be having some little tup and the
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: gold difficulties. Scott, let me. I'm gonna come in and
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: help you, but keep uh, Jillian, just introduce a little
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: bit more about like where you grew up kind of
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: and start to start there.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, Uh, So I grew up in Long Island, right
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: outside of the city, well like forty minutes away from
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: the city. Grew up like go into Yankees game, Rangers games,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Knicks games, and then the Jets, which is kind of
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: funny because it's usually Yankee Giants, Yankees Giants, Knicks and
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: then yeah, that's it, and then Rangers, and then it's
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: usually Jets, Mets, Islanders, Knicks, the Nets usual. Usually aren't
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: really involved in there too much. But so far, it's
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: it's been pretty good coming out of here. I'm very
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: thankful for the type of atmosphere that I grew up
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: in with the sports world. I mean, can't complain going
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: from New York to Boston in terms of school. So
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: it's been good so far. Anjilan, correct, yes, I can.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: We're having a few technical difficulties, so we'll go everything
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and go from there.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, you're doing a good job.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Just sometimes stuff like this happens in our industry, and
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I just want to get all straightened out. So now
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I think we're back in business. Candy is always the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: only that comes to the rescue. So all right, let's
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: continue on the theme here. And you talked about growing
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: up in New York, so why don't you talk a
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: little bit about what you said, and FORDA, We'll get
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: rolling again. So you obviously grow up in the metropolitan
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: New York area, and these are the teams that you follow,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Is that correct?
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean you have. I mean New York's one
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: of those weird states where we have two of everything
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: and then for football we have three. But yeah, I
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: have my teams that I follow, but then obviously I
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: follow all the other teams as well that I don't
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: in terms of like New York. So like I keep
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: tabs on the Giants even though I'm a Jets fan,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: and I keep tabs on the Mets even though I'm
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: a Yankees. Family can't really not so right.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: So were there any female broadcasters that you grew up idolizing?
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you probably study what's in there now. I mean,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: let's stay that ear one of them. I know, for example,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I grew up and enjoyed Phillis. George Leslie Visser is
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: a good friend of mine. I really liked Leslie, and
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: then hands from of Linda Cone and Linda's obviously going hockey.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Those are just a few that come up out of
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: my head. But I imagine there are a few that
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: come to mind now that you're actually actively doing this.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, obviously if you're talking about football and
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Aaron Andrews is someone that comes right, But then a
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Syracuse grad is Beth Mowens. She is a play by
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: play broadcaster. So that's something that I really look up
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: to because there are more now. But when I was
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: growing up, there wasn't as many female play by play broadcasters.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: It usually was just sidelined. But now we're seeing a
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: bunch more, which is super, super exciting. I feel like
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: there was more in the industry when I was even
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: just in high school and college growing up. But I
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: don't really remember when I was younger seeing of female
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: play by play broadcasters, but that also could have been
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: because I was young and I wasn't really picking up
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: on that tough well.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: You know, let's face that Aaron Andrews has come a
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: long way in her day candy with ESPN, and she's
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: graduated and done a great job at Fox. And Beth
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Mullen's a lot of people don't realize it, but she
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: is really, really, really good, especially as a player play. Yeah,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: so tell me a little bit about what you like
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: about both of those individuals.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, just Like I said, Beth is just someone
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: who's very, very diligent in everything that she does in
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: terms of okay, play by play stuff, She's very detail
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: oriented and it's something that I try to emulate in
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: my own work. I don't think you can try to
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: be a carbon copy of anyone in this industry or
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: else you're not original, But I do think the amount
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: of effort and detail she puts in is something that
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: should be noticed.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Well, that's true because I've dived into play by play
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: a little myself, and the amount of preparation that you
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: have to put in. Most people don't even understand this,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: but think about it when you go to a game.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I know when I go to a game, whether it's
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: a writer or is it announcer, you got to be
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: there's at least three or four hours to prep Let
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: wane what you do there and then what you do afterwards,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Not so much afterwards because the work is done, but
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: what you do. So you're probably looking at or between
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: four to seven eight hours at the stadium. Would you
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: think the death or a program amount of time that
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: you put in when you do something.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say so. I mean I probably get
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: there what two hours before like the show open at least,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: but it's not so much the day of that's so long.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: It's the prep work leading up to it.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: It's because like a lot of my friends who aren't
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: in the industry, they're in business or in finance or
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: like whatever, they thought that there was like someone in
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: their ear like giving them all of this information all
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: of the time, which to a degree that is true,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: But they don't realize that there's like notes and stats
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: that these people are preparing days in advance in front
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: of them. They thought this was something that people just
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: like had like remembered off the top of their head.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: And that's the case, but also not the case, like
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: you got to do your homework or else you'll be screwed.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. There's no way you can do this extemporaneously.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: There's no way.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: It's one thing to think on your feet, that's all
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: well and good, but if you don't know the stats,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: then you're in trouble. And I'll tell you something. Growing
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: up in the industry as I have, I've done it
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: a long time and I know you're going to be
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: in it a long time. Is I can remember many
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: times being in the press pots, I'd have all kinds
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: of press notes, I have my eyelighters and be able
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: to do everything. By the time Gables, it was easy,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: but it's all the stuff other it's media guys.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Now everything's done electronically.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: So I've got to go back to this because it
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: really You've got me really more and more intrigued. Okay,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: you get into broadcasting, but what inspired you to get
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: into it? Because that fascinates me. How you really pretty
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: much pivoted to doing what you do. Is it the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: fact that this became more of a stimulus challenge type
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: of thing versus what you were originally going to major
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: into dealing.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: So it kind of started off when I was playing
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: lacrosse in college and I I was kind of just
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: getting my degree just to get my degree. I wasn't
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: super fascinated in what I was doing. And while I
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: was there, I created a podcast of my own to
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: interview fellow student athletes about their lives outside of sports,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: to showcase athletes as people first, not just as stats
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: and jersey numbers. Okay, so that's kind of what sparked
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: the whole storytelling side of me. So I picked up
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: a journalism minor because at that point in my undergrad
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: if I completely switched, I would have graduated a year late,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: and I was like, at that point, I might as
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: well just go to grad school, and that's what I did.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, storytelling is what this is all about. So have
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: you've done radio or have you done radio and TV.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: I've done radio NTV. I was at Syracuse. I hosted
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: like a bi weekly radio show where we would discuss
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: like ACC sports, Syracuse sports, and New York sports in general.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: They allowed those students there to like audition and we'll
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: get like an hour slot every other week.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Which one did you like better?
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: It's different. I mean I like radio because I think
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: it's more like free flowing and it's like just sports
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: talk radio is a little bit more I don't want
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: to say relaxing, because you have to know your stuff
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: just as much, but I think it's just more conversational.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: And I would say I'm a conversational person. So I
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: do like radio. But I also love being on TV
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: as well in terms of analyst stuff, especially for lacrosse
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: because that's the sport that I played, and even play
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: by play as well. It's like I'm being trusted to
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: tell these people's stories. I know I'm explaining the game,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: but then again, I'm also in the hands of someone's
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: grandma's watching this game, and I'm the voice that they're hearing.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: So well, what got me into sportscasting was my late
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: ant Tina. She said, when I was broadcasting Red Wings
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: days many years ago, she would turn off the sound
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: and watch me do it, and that was fun.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: The Tiger Allion's not so much because I was trying
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: to understand football, and the Pistons not so much. I
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: couldn't really get them on TV now, but the Red
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Wings and the Tigers, especially the ways I would turn
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: it off. But I guess the thing that you're telling
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: me that decided to get you into sportscasting was you
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: like to do the storytelling.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Is that correct?
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I hear that that's a very common thing of
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: what you just explained that a lot of people grew
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: up like trying to call games themselves. But I didn't
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: really realize that this was even like an avenue or
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: like a job that I could do. Like I knew
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: people did it, but the idea of like how to
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: get involved in it, I had absolutely no idea. So
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: I think it's just more of that. I was someone
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: who played sports their whole life and then after college
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: decided that they wanted to stay in it. So I
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: did my research and figured out what I needed to do,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: and I've kind of just been going from there, beautiful.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: So let's talk about your play by play now, all right?
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Now, you got me wanting to go back and see
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: if I can find any kind of play by play
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: that I could get into, and again I've dived into it.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: But now I'm out here doing what I'm doing as
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: an executive producer for my own network, where I enjoy
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: interviewing people and being able to do different types of
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: shows in different groups as you're going to experience from
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: now one on Thursday nights, and I'm going a prayer
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: to us of really great veterans where you'll be able
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: to rof.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: One thing I like about what you're doing is the
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: fact that you are shadowing other people. And the sign
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: of a good prodcaster is the ability to shadow around
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: people so that you could take a little bit of this,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: a little bit of that, turn it into Jill. And
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: that's the thing that's important.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I would agree. I mean I kind of
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: started completely from scratch because it was like play by
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: play and just broadcasting in general now, and I'm sure
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: it was the same way when you first started that.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like a chicken before the egg situation
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: where they're like, oh, do you want to see Like
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: we need to see a reel so we could give
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: you opportunity. I'm like, okay, well, I can't get a
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: reel until someone gives me an opportunity. So what I
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: did is I emailed I think every Division III school
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: within like an hour radius of me to see if
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: they would let me broadcast their games. And then Cortland
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: gave me a chance to do that. So that's where
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: I started. And then I also started calling games for
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: high schools nearby as well, So that's where I started,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: just to get practice in reps, and then from there
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: I built my way up and then I was calling
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: games for ACC Network as an analyst for lacrosse.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: So you work for the ACC network, is that correct?
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Not technically work, but the how Syracuse works as a university,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I believe for the only university that does this, they
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: will allow students to be the play by play or
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: analyst for certain games. So because of my lacrosse background
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: because I played Division one, I showed that I could
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: handle myself on camera, and then they gave me some
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: opportunities to be the analyst for some of the games
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: on ACC Network.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, so do you put ACC Network on a perspective resume?
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I think if you do, it's impressive because, let's face
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: a reality, you are technically doing some freelance work for them,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: even though they're not technically being hired.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: I would think you would, right.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, yeah, But I wouldn't say I was
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: like specifically employed by them. It's like a weird like
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: roundabout thing. But yes, and I do freelance stuff right
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: now for l IU, doing play by play and sideline
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: stuff when they need me to.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: So always employed by any nowadays. It's all freelance anyways
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: in a matter.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: So all right, so let's talk about it.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: You've done play by play for soccer, field hockey, and volleyball,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: and are the other ones that I'm missing? Because those
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: are pretty interesting sports. You'd better do a lot of
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: storytelling for soccer and field hockey. I don't think a
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: lot of people know as much about it because it's
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: not as publicized as regular hockey. And volleyball is an
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: action pack sports. So tell me your experiences in those
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: three sports or the other ones that I made a
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: bit missing.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: So those were the three main ones that I've done
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: play by play for. The only one that I was
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: an analyst for was La crosse in the spring. Those
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: three sports I've been doing for LU right now, which
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: has been super fun. It's also allowing me to kind
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: of like build up my on air like repertoire, if
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: you will, because a lot of those don't. I don't
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: have an analyst, so it's a lot of me talking
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: and learning to like be comfortable with dead air, but
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: also being able to analyze a little bit of what
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I can but not talk when I shouldn't be talking.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: But it's been it's been a very interesting time. I
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: think that field hockey was also very interesting because for me,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: at least where I went for my undergrad our field
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: hockey team was pretty good, so I had some knowledge
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: and background. But for any sport that I cover, that's
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: new for me. I am doing a very very deep
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: dive of anything possible, just so that I'm aware of
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: what's going on.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, preparations all it's all about. That's for sure.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: So you've talked about we'll talk about your favorite sports
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: a little bit. I know we touched on a.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Little bit earlier. But and then we'll have a little.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Bit of fun with it because I interviewed a guy
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: that you obviously mentioned earlier as we started our earlier conversation.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: You see your favorite sorts of baseball, basketball, and hockey,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: and you grew up in the New York area. I
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: know that you said specified the Knicks and the Yankees,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: and Jets and the Rangers are the ones that you
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: followed the most. Well, the Knicks haven't really given anybody
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: a championship in a while, and they let Tom Thibodeau go,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: which I still think could bite them.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Later.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: We'll see how Mike Brown does. Yeah, so what are
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: your talks about the Knicks at this particular point.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: They looked good last night against the Calves, So I mean,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. We just need something right now.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, they made it to the playoffs first time
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: in what half a decade or was it a full
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: decade last year I think it was. I can't fully
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: remember off the top of my head what the timeline was,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: but it's been years since they made it to a
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: playoff run, and they made it last year, and then
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: they fired Thibodeau halfway through. So I don't know about
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: that decision, but I'm not on the board for that one.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: So but I think we have a lot of veterans
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: coming back. Not a lot has changed for that team,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: which is a good thing. I think that is early
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: in the season. It will be very hard to tell,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: considering there are a lot of injuries, so especially heart
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: being one of them. But we shall see.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you, Jill. I think of a feeling
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: that defense is a foreign language of mostly thea team time.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Thibodau was as good at it as anybody else, and
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: he's a heck of a coach. He's been a winner
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: somewhere else. To see what Mike Brown could do. The Yankees,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: on the other hand, they're not happy unless they're winning
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: world and they haven't done it for a while. So
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: let's talk about the Yankees for a moment. Aaron Judge
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: obviously has more lives than Morris. What are your thoughts
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: about the direction that the Yankees are going in?
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, the reality of this situation is that I
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: want to be like I can be upset, but other
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: fans of other teams haven't made it to playoffs consistently
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: as we have over the past two years. So I'm
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: not going to sit here and complain as a Yankees
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: fan when we do win and we do make it far,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: but it is frustrating when we keep getting so close
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: but just can't seem to shut the door.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: So well, they have two exceptional broadcasters. Meredith Marekovitz is
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: one out there that does the sideline, and I met
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Susan Waldman recently. They're both unbelievable. Since you're a New
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: York person, do you ever look at those two women
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: and use them as role models?
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean any women in New York sports space,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I'm always looking at and seeing what they're doing and
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: what I can improve on. I do listen to radio
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: a lot as well, just because you know, baseball is
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: one of those sports where they play more often than not,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: and it's hard to always have the TV on when
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: the Yankees are playing, so I do. I do listen
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: to the radio as well.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but Merrick covid So does a really good job.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I think I matter what was Susan? I got to
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: know her a little bit once she was in Ireland's
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: and they're two of the two great people in their
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: own way, and they make a lot of tell you
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: they have legacies of their own. Michael Kay's a good guy.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I've got to know a lot of those people Yankees.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: In fact, I'll go a step further back, Jill. Back
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty two, I covered the Fort Lauderdale Yankees.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah too.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: As I know, it's way before your time. And you
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: know I got to know Dime Manningly many years ago.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Stop maryl and Dime Manningly. Obviously, I had to want
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: to want to interview with me. So I don't know
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: if I sent that one to you. I'll send it
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: to you at some point. So you have so much
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: to do what you listen to them, But that one's
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: only nine mantes. I will that'd probably be worth a
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: little on your launch break. But the New York Chats,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: on the other hand, to me, they have made life
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: difficult for people in that area.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I haven't they Yeah, I don't know. I don't have
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: any answers at this point.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: I just.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I think that there's a very high
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: chance we gohen seventeen. I almost I wouldn't be mad,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: because at this point it's like whatever. But I just
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: hope that if we do get the first round draft
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: pick from that, that we don't take it, that we
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: trade the first round draft pick for more draft capital,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: because I don't think it's a QB problem right now.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: We've seen that half of the qbs that have left
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: and where our starters are now out doing great things
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: for other franchises. So I think it's I think it's
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: a rebrand thing and a culture problem. I don't think
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: it's a it's a finger pointing issue. There's a lot
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: of things that could be changed.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: So well, Aaron Glenn is over his head, and you
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: don't go out there and disrespect Aaron Rodgers the way
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: he did get him to fly across country and said
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: you're not my quarterback anymore, and all of a sudden,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: justin fields, to me, this kid looks like he's lost
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: out there. I feel bad for him. It's one thing
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: that he had a tough time in Chicago, but he
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: comes here thinking he can play. I don't know if
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: the kid is wrecked or not, but his confidence looks
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: like he's taking a toll.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Can you notice the same thing.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: I haven't really liked justin Fields. I'm also like a
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: big Ohio state person, so I might be like biased there.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: But in that regard, I don't think you could blame Fields.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: I think it's easy to point blame on a quarterback
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: in any situation, but I just think it's not everyone
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: on the field is not performing there hundred and that
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: just creates like one big week chain. So if he
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: were to be doing one hundred percent, I still don't
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: know if we would be doing any better.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: But what about the way they treated Rogers? I mean
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: that to me, zoom calls are okay, you know, I
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: have to make the guy go out there and fly
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: across the country, and all of a sudden boom, you
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: don't think he's your quarterback?
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Could give him demands for a first year coach by
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Karon Glenn.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: There's a way to handle things that there's a way
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: not to, and I think Glenn found the way not to.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: But what's your take.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: I don't really have a comment on that one. I
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: thought it was very odd that he was to New
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: York in the first place, just because I don't think
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: that bringing in a veteran quarterback was going to fix anything.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: I think we needed to find someone who was going
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: to be their long term to build this team around.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: But I do understand what you're saying in terms of
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: him being a veteran, in him deserving a certain level
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: of respect.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: But yeah, right, that's all I'm saying. And I'm glad
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: you picked up on that.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Now one team that I know you feel good about
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: the New York Rangers. I know they've struggled a little
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: early on. I know for a while they won three
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: home games without even scoring and going out in that one.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: But let's talk about the bigger picture. Neil Smith ended
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: up building this team into a championship team. He brought
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: in Mark Messia and I did an interview with him recently.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: What are your talks about the Rangers in general to me?
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: When you play at the original six team like the
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: New York Rangers. That's to me in Madison Square Curtain.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: And I have a good friend of mine who's there,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: played by a play broadcaster by the name of Kenny Albert,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: who I had on this very show like you. I'll
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: have to send this tape over to Kenny one of
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: these days and say I brought a young lady that
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I'm working with and I'll have him check you out
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: after I get you up to speak. How do you
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: like that?
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: One?
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Sounds good?
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: So what do you talk about the Rangers?
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Though, I don't know. I really thought that twenty twenty
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: was our year and then we wound up losing to
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: the Panthers. It was like so good on paper, and
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: then I believe it was like we lost in like
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: like a game five. I don't remember when it was.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I just remember it vividly because it was my senior
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: year of college and I was like, this is the year,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: and it just slipped away from us. I just feels
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: like the Rangers and every other New York team right now,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: it's just it feels like the commonality is that everything
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: feels like it's there, but we can't seem to close
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: the door or do do the final step to like
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: get that trophy. So but the Rangers this year, Yes,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: I do think it was a little bit alarming when
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: there were no goals scored within the first three games
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: of the season. That was a little alarming. I won't lie,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: but I think that there are a lot of hockey
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: games in a season and they'll be able to figure
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: it out.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: While Gerard Gollot had a pretty good run. I don't
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: know if you were out is welcome a little quick?
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I know he has a short lifespan. Mike Sullivan's a
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: really good coach. And of course the John that Neil
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Smith putting that hole to get thing together. I know
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I sent you that and it was a good I
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: had a good time talking to him. I had somebody
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: that set up. Neil Smith is the ideal general manager
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: to build a program with. That's what we're gonna go
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: to a station break, and then when we come back
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: to talk about your time as a goaltender for lacrosse
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: and what you've learned in the field so far, we'll
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: go to a station break. Jillian, It's really fun having
• 25:32

  Speaker 3: Once again, for.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Those of you they're just joining us. We met through LinkedIn,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: and I think you've sent me a requests.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Or vice versa.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: I don't remember.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: We connected through Linkedlin, a great place if you're looking
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: to go out there, connect professional. And I'm so proud
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: to have this young lady on here. George Eichorn, by
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: the way, is the guy you're going to be working
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: with next Thursday night. And he's a guy I worked
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: with when I was starting out in nineteen seventy nine.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: So George, get used to Jillian. She's a dynamo. I
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: am proud of this young lady, and the sky's a
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: limit for her. Let me tell you I have a
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: good feeling about her. I'm not putting a pressure on her.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: She does a good job. I've looked at her work
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: on Instagram. It is what it is. But let's talk
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: about your experience playing goalie and division woe lacrosse.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: What was that like?
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's exactly. I don't want to see what
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: you think it was like, but I mean I grew
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: up being a goalie here in Long Island, because it
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: was the closest thing I could get to boys lacrosse
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: because it was the only thing they had with like
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: a helmet and stuff. So that's why I started doing that,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: and I played at UMAs loll. I wouldn't change it
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: for the world. My teammates are my best friends still
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: to this day. I do think that me playing taught
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: me a lot in terms of broadcasting and also just
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: time management and work as well. So I'm very used
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: to working with limited time to get certain things done.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: So time management was for sure up there. But it's
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: also just like a mentality there being a d one athlete,
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: just like striving to go to the extra mile when
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: you can.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, being a goaltender remind me
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: of being a catcher. It so thinking new Man's position,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: it really is a thank you person because you have
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: to make those decisions. You're the quarterback at that particular
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: point when you're handling the ball and you know, you
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: see you went to U Mass. Little Mike Santos, by
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: the way, this from the actual.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: New England area.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: He's a big well and wait till you get him
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: on if you're gonna learn a lot from him.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: So I had the opportunity.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping to have Mike on Sports Rap probably after Thanksgiving.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: He does so many other things as well. And when
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Jillian and I talked about Santos, I think you've heard
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: of him, haven't you?
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you know about Mike Boston area? I
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: was saying, I've met, like heard of him like briefly,
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: and just what he's done within like the hockey world.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: But I'm not like aggressively familiar with like most of
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: his his work. But I know, like I'm when you
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: said the name, I was like, I know that is.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Well, he's been the commissioner of a couple of hockey leagues,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: number one, and he's also worked with a few different
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: NHL organizations, so you've been around the circuit and being
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: a commissioner speaks volumes of himself. So yeah, you mass Law.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: The New England area does produce a lot of great
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: high hockey talent, and we all know about the rivalry
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: between Boston College and Boston University, Harvard and the rest
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: of that group out there, which would be pretty interesting
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Did you follow that a lot?
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all within the realm of like Hockey East.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: That's like UMass Lowell's conference. That's the bean pot that
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: you are just referencing. Ums lowl isn't in the bean
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: pot because it's technically not a Boston school, so it's
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: just Harvard, Northeastern, BU and BC that competes in that,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: I believe for the men's and then I believe the
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: women also have that as well. I don't know if
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: it's still called the bean pot for the women, but
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: I know that they do something very similar.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: All I know is they played great hockey there and
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: a lot of people know that they win a lot
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: of championship. So what have you learned in the field
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: so far? I've seen you through your Instagram clips over
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: at Gillette Stadium working with the Patriots and you get
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: that microphone out there and do what you've got to do.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: But explain to me what's like for Jill out in
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: the field and what you're able to do as a reporter.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so what you were referencing was something that I
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: did for my capstone for Syracuse. We sent as interns
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: to work for WPRI in Providence, which is the new
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: station out there. Okay, help them cover Patriots training camp.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: So that was like a month and a half long internship,
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: and it was just great in terms of like networking
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: and like learning the kind of the ins and outs
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: of a professional NFL team and how media works in
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: that realm. So that was really good. While I was there,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: I got to do a bunch of like stand ups,
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: live shots like stuff like that, just making packages, filming
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: all that type of stuff. So that was a really
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: cool experience in that realm.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: So how do you like interviewing?
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: I like it a lot. I think it's probably my
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: favorite part of doing sports media in general. I loved
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: get to know athletes and just kind of show them
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: as people first rather than just a number or a
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: stat So that's always my main goal. But I do
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: also love sports broadcasting in terms of play by play
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: or sideline or anything like that.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: Well, we all know full well that this guy's a
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: women for you.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: All you need to do is just keeping do you
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: watch a lot of sportscasters weekend and week out in
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: college football to try to pick things up from them
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: whether they're on TV, and just see what you can do.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Because I don't know about you. If I see a
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: guy who's a great one on one interview, for example,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Roy Firestone, I don't know if you've heard their name
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: or not. And a lot of other one on one people.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: I just watch these people, just study them. I'm a
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: student of this industry, and I can only imagine if
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: you're the same way as well, because there's a lot
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: of people that you can do. But do you study
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: a lot of these people just to see what you're
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: able to do from so far?
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Uh? Yes? And no. I think that I look at
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: people and see what they do to see where I
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: can improve. But I also think that once again, if
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: you try to completely change who you are as a
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: broadcaster to emulate someone else, like that person already exists, right,
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: So you kind of want to be your own person,
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: be your own brand. And I think it's good to
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: see how they free certain things or how they are.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: But I don't think that, like you could study them,
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: but you shouldn't try to like completely emulate them.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Well, I totally agree. I mean, you got to be yourself.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here and say I'm going
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: to see one person's line and make them out.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: No, I got to come up with my own stuff.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, they made their name doing what they're doing.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna make my name doing my own and I
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: totally agree with you, and you are one hundred percent
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: on partment that it's just the idea that when you
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: watch people how they carry themselves with the language, the
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: body language, and how they go about approaching those are
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: the little things that you learned that we all learn
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: in the field in school.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Just what call me the intangibles? Jillian?
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, I'm using Jill Gillian because I think they're both
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: beautiful names, so I just.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Jump I get both, so either one works, yeah.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Which is great. I mean, but that's the thing.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: You can go out there and look at all the
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: different styles and again there's only one Gillian Schumacher out there,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: and you're going to carve your niche wherever you find
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: out where you end up doing it. Yeah, at this
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: point in time, I enjoy being an executive producer doing
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: these interviews with someone like you, because you're right. The
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: advantage of being able to interview somebody is to get
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: to know them in depth, find out what they're all about,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: and by finding out what they're all about, you.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Get comfortable with them.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: And I can I can't tell you so many people
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I've studied with one on one. I just know Roy Firestone.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: There's the one guy that comes to mind because I'm
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: watching from a distance. Ever really met the guy?
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: Not worried.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: There's other ones that have been good too. But my
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: first big interview with tomlessorda the Los Angeles Dodgers back
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty one.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: You've heard of.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Tommy, I think, so you got to You're going a
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: little too far back for me.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: I think, no, yeah, I know, I'm going back to
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: sort of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: That's okay.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a guy by the name of Phil PEPPI taught
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: me a couple of tricks. I know we're going back.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: That's why I was trying to say this, It's okay, Joe.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: But that was my first major interview. I gained a
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: lot of confidence and then everything went on and here
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: I am way much older, and I've done a lot
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: of these and they come on firsthand.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: So now that what else do you want people to
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: know about you? Professionally?
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: I've done asking a question, but it's time for you
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: to tell Jillian's story.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: I mean professionally in what realm? I mean, I kind of,
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I just always try to make sure
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: I'm being myself whether that is on air off air,
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: like who you see on TV is who you're gonna
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: meet in person. I also think in a professional realm
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: right now. I mean we've spoken about this. I'm applying
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: for jobs and interviewing for jobs right now across all
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: types of medium, whether that be TV, radio, podcasting, So
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: I don't really pigeonhole myself to one type of medium.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: I'm open to anything and everything and willing to learn.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Obvious I can see that the potential that you have
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: is off the charge, and I hope a lot of
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: people will look at you and they see the time
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: that we're spending on this show to realize that I
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: have a hidden gem sitting right in front of me.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: And hopefully, as time goes on, you'll accumulate enough film
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: here to impress people.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: And that's my goal.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: I've mentored Jill a lot of people over my lifetime,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: and the biggest thing I can tell you that I've
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: learned from them. If you have the work ethic and
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: you're pleasant and you're polite, and people can look at
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: you in a very positive, credible way, you've got a shot.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Because you know full well and you've been in the
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: industry long enough. There's no shortcuts in this business. If
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: you put in the work or you're not going.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: To make it.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, do you have any other personal interests
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: that you'd like to share with people when you're not
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: around here. I'm not asking you get personal I'm just saying, well,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: what other interests you have outside of this. It's just
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: one of those things where I want people to get
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: to know you outside of what you're doing.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean outside of sports in general. It's really
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: not a huge surprise that I'd love to go to
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: the gym in my free time. I love to lift,
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: That's not really too surprising. I do read a lot.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: I live right near the beach, so going to the
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: beach and reading is one of my favorite things to
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: do with my dog as well. But yeah, I would
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: say that. And then I just have a lot of
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: friends I like to hang out with when I get
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: the chance. But I would say right now, because I'm
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: just starting off in this industry, I'm very consumed about
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: trying to get a lot of content out, So my
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: free time is usually spent trying to create something else
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: when I can, so great stuff.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Are there any people that you've been inspired by the
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: most in your lifetime, whether it's family members or people
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: outside of her.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: I know lots of people are inspired by somebody.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I would say my mom. My mom
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: is a public speaker and an author. She created this
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: program when I was in middle school. I believe it was.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: It's called Don't Pressend. It's a mindfulness approach to social
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: media for children, because kind of social media became like
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: a huge thing first off when I was in like
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: middle school, elementary school. So she kind of took the
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: initiative and now she public speaks about it all around,
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: and she has a children's book, a regular book, and
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: then she also has a Ted talk. So her kind
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: of being able to change the trajectory of her career
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: was I would say, very notable for me.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Do you have aspirations to do some public speaking.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not a post I've public speaked before, but right,
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: that's not even right public spoken, yes, spoken.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: Right, that's okay.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: I've done it before at like awards, dinners and stuff.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: But that's the full extent. I don't really know. Maybe
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: maybe down the line, but.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: You have your whole life to go. I'm not asking today.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Tell me you're all your goals in one short, forty
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: minute conversation. But I know an author or something I
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: always dreamed of and finally got it done. But I
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: imagine at some point, as you accumulate stories, you see
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Jillian Schumacher being an author one day like their mom.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know if I have the whole patience
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: to sit down and write a book. I like to
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: speak more than I do to write, so maybe if anything,
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: altern it into like an audio series.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: What's wrong with that? So you say you don't have
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: the patience.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: To write, Now write a book, right?
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: Or write a book? Okay? Right?
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Write articles for sports and like game recaps, can do that,
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: no problem. But like a full two hundred three hundred
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: page book, I think I think that's where I tap out.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Jillian, let me tell you so. It took me into
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: my late fifties to do mine. So if you're telling
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: me you may not have the patience, he will be
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: the first one that ever said it, and you won't
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: be the last. But you're not going to have to
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: for a while. You have a lot of storytelling to
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: do before you to get to that point. But I'm
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: so intrigued by the fact that your mom does public
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: speaking and that she's a writer. Because I've always been
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: a firm believer. And tell me what you think about this. Okay,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: do you think it's good to be a writer in
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: order to be a good broadcaster?
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, I would say so. I mean, look at
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Malika Andrews Uh, she's always the NBA and she started
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: as a writer. They pulled her off because of her
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: knowledge that she had as a writer. So I think
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: there's like an attention to detail thing where you have
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: to bring people in through just words on a page.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: And if you could do that and then you're put
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: in front of a screen and you're able to articulate
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: that you're comfortable with that, then yeah, I will say
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: those people would make the best broadcasters. But not all
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: writers want to be on a screen, so, but those
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: who do, I think it would completely enhance everything. You
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: ever heard of Bob Ryan, No, I don't think so.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: You used to work with the Boston Globe. He's one
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: of us older guys. I had him on recently. Mike
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: Wilbon is a guy that you probably heard of I
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: think a little bit.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: Maybe maybe not.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: But some of these other guys, many of them began
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: as writers and they obviously were able to get behind
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: a microphone seamlessly easy, and like I said, with you,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: was those sky's limits. So did you start out as
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: a writer before you got into broadcasting. I guess that's
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: the one thing I forgot to ask, and I'm glad
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: to mention that.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: No, not really, I kind of just started directly on
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: the mic, Well did you Okay? Yeah, all my journalism
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: background at UMass Lowell was more in kind of hard news,
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: if you will, because I was also a criminology major
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: with like a minor journalism, so it had a lot
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: to do with that type of stuff. So but not
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: so much. I think it worked then to become a
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: writer and then to go on screen. But now that
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: everything's so digitalized and like podcasts and all of that,
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: I don't really know how that will transition in fifteen
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: twenty years from now. But I won't predict the future.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: So yeah, NOBE, they can predict the future. But yeah, No,
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: It's true.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of different ways to get in and
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: the thing about podcasting and it has changed everything.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: Podcasting is your way.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Players are doing it and all that, and I want
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: to drag onto that some of them are using it
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: coming to a distraction on the field. But there's no
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: question that the industry has changed. Back in the day,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: I use my writing in order to beat a lot
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: of the good people, a lot of people in the
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: press boxes and all that. So when you talk about
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: it with play by play, when you get in that zone,
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: what goes through your mind? Do you feel like the
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: light switch goes on and where's your mind at that
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: particular point.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: For me, like when I'm driving there and stuff, it
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: almost feels like I'm like driving to play it a
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: game again like I was in college. So it makes
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: me feel a little washed up sometimes, But it's more
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: of like I'm just excited to be there, and I'm
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: excited that I'm getting the opportunity to potentially to continue
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: talking about sports for a living. So but in that
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: zone when I'm there, it's more of I'm just very
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: like hyper focused on what's going on, making sure I'm
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: I'm locked in, but not too locked in that I'm
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: not capturing the moment that's around me as well. For
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: the people who aren't there through the TV, do.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: You find yourself a very even keel broadcaster or do
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: you find a point where you have that excitable quality
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: for the moment.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: I would not say, I would not say I'm even keel.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: I would say, I you can tell when I'm excited,
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: and when I'm you can for sure tell.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: So would you ever have a desire out of curiosity
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: to do football or baseball? I know I presented this
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: question to Jim As one time down in North Carolina,
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: and Jim, we all know, I know, you know who
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: he is, right, but he's obviously football and golf. I
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: asked him if he would ever do basement No way,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: that's not his deal golf more his style baseball requires
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of research and more time at the ballpark.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: Golf you just go out there and just roll with
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: that a little bit more. But what your thoughts about
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: doing some of the other sports that I mentioned.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: I would love to do baseball. I think baseball. Baseball's
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: a very very fun time. I also think it's one
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: of the few sports that lasts as long as it
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: does in terms of length season, So I think that's great.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: I would also love to do football as well. I
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: haven't not done those because I don't want to. I
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: haven't done those because there hasn't been a specific opportunity
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: for me to be a broadcaster for the for those
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: sports specifically. Yet, Yeah, if.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: You could get a job in baseball, and I know
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: there's minor league teams out there, you should really give
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: it a shot. I think it's a sport that to me,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: I've always loved baseball. I don't think I could do
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: any other sports Jill other than baseball at this point,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: because I love the storytelling and my mentor.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you've heard the name name Ernie.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Harwell of the Tigers as a guy who's mentored me
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: and shouting me a lot about It's like, of course,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: everybody's sort of Ben Scully. Never had me Ben Scully
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: every time I tried to meet him, he was never
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: up in Vero Beach. But when you have the legendary
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: baseball guys and you pick their brain, someone like you.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: And now, of course there's a lot more female play
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: by play announcers. I'm sure you're probably taking notice of
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: that too, aren't you.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: Uh. Yeah, it was this past year when I believe
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: it was the Red Sox had a full all female
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: broadcast team, which that was really cool to see for
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: one of their games, because growing up, I don't think
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: we had that at all. So it's really good just
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: to have that representation in that realm, not just for
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: me obviously because I'm older now, but for younger girls
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: who are getting into sports seeing that that is in
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: avenue that they could possibly get into.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: Well, guess what, Jillian, we're getting some action in the
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: chat room. How do you like that? How'd you like
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: to respond to some questions? Okay, and we've got Atlanta
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: Falcons runs of South We love hockey. When is Atlanta
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: getting the team?
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: Joe? All right, come on, give it to us.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: That's a great question. I don't know. You guys should
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: probably figure that out.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: Hey, I'll tell you one thing, Atlanta Falcons, you get
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: to see Jillian Okay, every on Thursday nights, eight o'clock
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: pm Eastern Time on Sports Rap. That's so the Jillian's
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: gonna be on with myself, George Kern will be on there,
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: Mark Meriday will be on there from time to time,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: Cody spe Mike Santos. We're gonna bring a lot of
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: different people in there. Be surprised, Jillion, You're gonna meet
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: a lot of different people in the hockey world. We're
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: going to get that name of yours out there, so
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: when the Atlanta Falcons or wherever else comes on, and
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: of course sports standards lol, yeah, we definitely know what
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: those are, right Dellian.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: Right, yes, yes, yeah.
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: When do you think the standards aren't broadcasting?
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Give me a few the standard? Yeah, well, my personal
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: standard is just to make sure that I'm delivering everything
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: that's factual for one, right. For two, just making sure
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: that I'm timely and on time with my calls and
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: that I think pronunciation is also another big one. I
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: think those are some pretty they're basic standards, but they're
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: very important standards.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: See Atlanta Falcon South. I'm going to tell you right now,
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: we're ready to see the best squart back. The reason
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: why I believe the third time will be a charm
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: for you is because they're putting that team in the suburbs.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: Otherwise I think it would be in trouble downtown. So
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: I definitely believe that Atlanta will do well with the
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: third time. I really too, Jillian, because that's a market
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: where you have a big population, and I think the
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Braids are proving that if you put them in
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: the suburbs there, they'll show up. So I think Atlanta
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: has a good shot, and I'm looking forward to seeing
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: them get the team. When the time does come, they'll
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: get that thing.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, not to go way way back. I mean,
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: you talk about the Whalers leaving going to become the Hurricanes,
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: and they clearly went on and to do fine. So
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: I don't see why you couldn't do something similar. I'm
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: not saying to take a team from somewhere else, but
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: I could see that working out well in that area.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: Well guess why you come back with my boss as
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: the developer of the new arena up in coming Georgia.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: I hope you're a subscriber Atlanta Falcon South. If you are,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: that's great stuff. Then you're get to get your hockey
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: fixed every week. Please subscribe if you aren't. If you are,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: then our thanks as well. You ever heard of Gordy Howe.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: No, Then I know full well that she's definitely a
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: young whipper snapper for sor Gordy how By the way,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: mister hockey, you'll get to know him really, so.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do know Gordy How. I have this card.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: You what I have a card like a like a
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: how he's like hockey card. I have a whole box
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: of him. Really, yes, sorry, I don't know why. I
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: only know him as mister Hockey not and then.
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: There you go. That's all it takes.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: Jillian is a mister Hockey reference and now it comes
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: out people forget about Gordy. How Jillian knows mister hockey.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: All right, So what do you think of mister hockey?
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: Gillian? Did you're gonna be on a hockey show?
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I can't comment too much considering that
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: was a little bit before my time, but I just
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: didn't know him as as the person that he was.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: So well, it's good enough. All he did was playing
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: five or six decades, that's all. Nopeing they don't want
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: about Wayne Gretzky.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm a Rangers fan, so I'm a big fan
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: of a of him and what he did for for
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: our team as well. So you can't you can't say
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: anything bad about Gretzy. I mean, Ovechkin passed his record
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: this past year, so.
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he did that. So what do you think of out?
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: You know that this Atlanta Falcon guy is asking what
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: do you think.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Of this guy?
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: Well, I hope he has a good last year. I'm serious.
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: He he did such great things last season that I
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: was thought he was going to try to like end
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: on that high. But I think maybe he has other
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: other things planned. I would assume that the Cup is
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: probably one of them for him. But I hope he
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: has a really good last season and goes out with
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: with a bang.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: You know, Andy know everybody, you get to hear her
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: all the time, so he wants to know what your
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: team is.
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: Show the bias here.
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: Oh I'm a Rangers fan. I'm so sorry, but yeah,
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: I'm a Rangers fan. But obviously we run't off to
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: a good good start there for a hot minute. But
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: we'll see how the rest of the season goes. I
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: always think the first three weeks it's too soon to
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: tell with anything.
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: But.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: We'll well, we'll see how the rest of the season goes.
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: So far.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a Runlings guy by trade. So he said
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons says the cheers on the Utah Mammoth. I
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, I always love a new team. So I
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: also kind of like the jerseys without the mammoth logo.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: Like I liked how before they put anything on how
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: it just says Utah. I know they didn't put the
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: logo on yet, but I kind of hope that they
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: just like rock with just the Utah I kind of
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: like it.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'm glad they changed the name of Mammoth
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: and Carrie Benton gave the chance to get away from
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: their previous background because we all know for well would
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: happened in the desert as well.
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: But the best part of ours I.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: Get to hear your commentary and I get to have
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: it as I can at Lanapalk and everybody else in
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: the chat room, to be able to pick your brain
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: about all this thing. And like I said before, you
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: know you are here on the self Forward Trim your
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: media network. We're bringing on three times a month, and
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: we're as often as you want to come on any
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: other show, but we're starting with this anyway.
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: And I know, like you say, you're a Rangers fan.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: And one thing you and I both have in common
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: for both original sixteens, which seem to fit vine Ikorns
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: are red Wing Guy and our man Cody speak out
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: there is a I believe in Anaheim's duck and his
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: dad does the la Ks they called royally quacked out
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: there as well. So you and I have the situation
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: that the Neil Smith connection. And I don't know if
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: you were alive when they won the Stanley Cupp or not,
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: or what you've heard about it, but hey, listen, that
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: was a heck of a team. As we get ready
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: to wrap this program up, any final talks about the
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: Rangers and that Stanley Cup.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: Well, obviously it was a little bit before my time.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: But I do have a couple of memorabilia. I got
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: a shirt actually that I just thrifted two weeks ago. Okay,
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: it's from that cup. It's a nice one. It's a
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: nice one.
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: See Atlanta. One of them may be called the Utah Blizzards.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: Well, i'd probably be appropriate considering for the located Well,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: they got mammoth instead.
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: There are a lot of things they wanted to call
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: so but never gonna happen.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: Again, the Jets haven't a better chance right now than
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: the Rangers. Okay, well, there you go. You know he's
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: in your neck of the woods there, Jillian's what are
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: your thoughts? Keep commenting, Hey, you're gonna have to do.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: We'll tell you when you come up with us. We're
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: gonna go out there and have you comment on some
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: of these chefs. So your truly can do the executive produce,
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: so please get used to helping me in that department
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: of my testing.
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: Naty Coles fair enough.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll let you know. I don't know about that.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: I think the Jets are going out at seventeen, so
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: I think there's a lot more hockey left to play
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: than there is a lot more football left to play.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: So there's a little bit more wiggle room and in
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: terms of hockey than there is football, just because the
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: amount of games that you play.
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: So there you have it.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: Jill Leeann Schumacher predicts that the New York Jets are
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: going to go oh one seventeen.
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: Now not the win, oh not.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: I thought he was comparing it the Rangers to the
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: to the Jets.
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: To the New York Jets.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's talking to Winnipeg Jets once upon a time.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: I think they went ahead.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: Are you joined the chat late? We were talking about
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: the New York Jets earlier, so I got confused.
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's okay.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: Well, but you're going out on the limb saying do
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: you feel that the right things are going to New
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: York Jets could go one one seventeen?
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: Right? Do you feel that way?
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: I just want us to get good draft capital. That's all,
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: so I wouldn't hate it.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, listen, you're trying to, let's face reality, Joe,
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: you're trying to make their mark in this industry. The
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: way you do that now it's provide storytelling me. It's
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: about making opinions too. Yeah, dat Campbell is a common
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: thing in any industry. I don't care what sport. You're
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: a weather of hockey, basketball, baseball, football, no matter, draft
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: Campbell is what is what you do with is another story.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: But yeah it's seventeen. There's another story of the line's
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: but it's only sixty. I had to deal with that
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: many years ago. That would good the Browns joined them.
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: There, Yeah, no, it's yeah.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: Great first act, Jillian. What are your thoughts, am I
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: it's obnoxious or crazy or or I don't know, give
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: me some critiques. What do you think about me? Or
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: do you think I'm washed up? And I'm going to
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: hand over the network to you. I need some critiques
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: from this young lady.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: I don't have any critiques. No, I thought I thought

• 55:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, and how is that? I'd like to know? Now?
• 55:45

  Speaker 1: and she did check out the samples. But I'll tell
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: you one thing. The one thing I do take a
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: lot of pride as I've been in this industry forty
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: seven years, is being able to find hidden gems and talent.

• 56:33
