• 1:53
  Speaker 3: I'm asking with the kids. It's suns. Right, it's a
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: little loved that I got loved tapped when I was

  Speaker 3: now throwing herself on the ground, rolling on the unscreaming,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: crawling under tables. What do you do there? Is it?
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Is it a swing? Is it a spank? Is it
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: a hey, you wait till we get home? Or is
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: it like you just got to kind of grit your

• 2:32
  Speaker 3: People are filming the mom and the kid because that's
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: how bad it was. I've never heard a meltdown like this.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I was three gates away and they were still up
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: on the concourse and I could hear the screaming, blood
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: curdling screams.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And tell you feel for the parent because everyone's judging
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the parent, Like Jason said, whether or not you have

• 2:52
  Speaker 1: our kids all ACKed up, but not it sounds like
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: this level towel.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: This is a mutant clearly.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: How you're a hitter too.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: I can't seeyeah, I have a young son.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: I can't say we've ever hit the fit public fit
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: in the airport stage of raising our child. But yeah,
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: I feel like for me, that's that's where you immediately
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: start the negotiation.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Yes, hey, we're not doing this, you want to do this?
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Not happening.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: But we're told you don't negotiate with terrorists. Tal you Tal,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: You look like you seem reserved. You look like you
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: swing swing first, Ask questions later.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: My wife maybe just kidding, Keith, I love it.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Tell's wife just let's swing first, house questions later. Speaking
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of coming up swinging first, that's what the Philadelphia Eagles
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: did in the Super Bowl. I got to mention my
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: beloved Eagles demurs openly chirping on Twitter saying he doesn't
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: want to do unscripted this week because my gloating, but
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I'll keep it brief. A bit of fancas nineteen ninety
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: thirty five years of fandom. Oh for our first twenty
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: eight years. It's now three Super Bowl appearances in the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: last seven years and two championships. I don't know what
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: to do with myself, but I'll tell you this, JD.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Going into this playoff run, I'm an idiot because I,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: like many earlier in the years and fire Syrienne, Eagles
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: were two and two. They go into the Bible and
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: after that they're unstoppable. They won sixty of the last
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: seventeen games. The one blemish was against Washington, when Jade
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Daniels threw five touchdowns every stretch of the playoff run.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I felt pretty good Packers rams once the lines were
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: out of like, oh we'll beat Washing again. But going
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: into the Super Bowl, I have a few buddies now,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I have a few who are like blow up for
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: strem Like really, one of my friends actually goes forty
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: to nine, forty to fourteen Eagles. I'm like, Wow, I
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: got do Mahomes magic. I'm calling thirty one twenty four.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I text the manager of the New York Yankees, my
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: dear buddy, Aaron Boone, diehard Eagles fan.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: He goes, I got twenty seven to seventeen.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: The Homes magic makes you queezy going in And then
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: while watching the game, I said, what in the world
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: was I nervous about this Eagles defense? Picuarly that card
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: four absolutely overwhelming, And I can imagine for yourself, a
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: guy who doesn't have a dog in the race, what
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a terrible Super Bowl Eagles boat raced him.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Oh, I mean it was, It wasn't It was so
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: much fun to watch. I'm a defenseman, so watching defense
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: thrive and defense like really dominate. And to get that
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: kind of pressure with the front four like to be
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: able as a defense and football just drop everybody back
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: and still get to the quarterback is I mean, you
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: can't ask for it. That's you can't. You can't lose
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: with that kind of defense because it's I don't care
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: how good of a quarterback you are. If you're getting
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: pressure in you all game from only four and you
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: are looking up and all you see his bodies ever
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Eagles everywhere you're you're not. It doesn't matter how good
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: you were, Mahomes or not. So it was nice to
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: see the Eagles were the best team. I mean they
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: were fans and they didn't even have like a Barkley
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: game where he kind of ran rough shots. So I congratulations,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: it was born as shit. The how'd you like the halftime?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's get to the music.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: So I looked like the halftime performance, but I'm.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: A huge trombone shorty guy. He was great.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: And Terrence Blanchard, who Spike Lee's longtime composed, he was
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the trumpeter.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Right at the start.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Harry Connock Junior introduced him, so I was actually more
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: excited for that. And John Baptiste I thought did a
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: great anthem the way he did in the Land of
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the Three. I thought it was a great star spangled banner.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed those guys more than Kendrick Lamar. You and
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I both not huge hip hop guys. You're more in
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the EDM. I gotta be honest. The game got one
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty six million. I believe Lamar might have
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: got one hundred thirty one.
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: I thought it was good. I know, I do know
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: some Kendrick Lamar songs, so I like it, and I
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: think he is like one of the best rappers and
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: hip hop artists of all time. So I think he's
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: he's that good. I just you know, I just don't
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: know how that plays in those those venues. Like my
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: wife's turning, She's like, it just doesn't work, like my
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: favorite one. And it's not because I like a certain
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: genre more the other. But like the Bruno Mar when
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Bruno Mars had his, I think it was like ten
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: twelve years ago, it was a show is incredible. It
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: was so good. You could bring on you know, you
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: can bring on people, guests to come in and help sing,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: and you can really make it theatrical in a scene,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: because that's what the super Bowl is. Unfortunately, like when
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: you bring in the hip hop and the rap, it
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: just doesn't play. It's too big of a stadium.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Let's get to the four nations. So I'm an old man.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I went to bed after two period's like oh three
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: one Canada, we got this. You were locked in an
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: NHL network and I wake up today and you're just
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: sitting the messages going all my good Belsinger was rocket
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: what it finished?
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Like, what the hell happens?
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: So I watched the DVR and oh my god, Canada,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: thank god beat Sweden four to three. But Krasa was unbelievable.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Three assists and the fans chanting his name. I did
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: see what Wayne Gretzky was saying at the second or mission.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: He goes, you know, when I was getting older and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: playing with young guys, it reinvigorated me. People often focus
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: in the young players. Hey, what's it like to play
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: with person a Gretzky Lemieux. Crosby goes, But he's invigorated
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: by playing with those guys.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: JD.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I gotta type frek guy who it wasn't a hard
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: percent sure whether he was going to play for people
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: of four nations?
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Who really cares?
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Clearly Sidney Crosby at thirty seven years of ages taking
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: it seriously.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: He was awesome.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: That whole game, the whole spectacle. You know, anybody that
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: thought this turn and hey, I was a little skeptical
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: of this tournament. I was like, is this really gonna
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: be our guy's gonna be given it? Or are they
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: gonna be going hard?
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: You know?
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Is it gonna be good competition? And holy shit it was.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: It was such a good event. I mean starting off
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: with just marye Lemue walking out at the start of
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: the game as the ambassador, coming out having a picture
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: next to Sidney Crosby, the place erupting and then the game,
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: physicality was up, you know it. Cannon was dominating early
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: in the first period. I think Bell Center really carried them,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Like I think the fans were just next level, and
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: that's how good Montreal Canadians fans are and fans within
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: the Montreal area. And I think Sweden was just a
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: little kind of hesitant. They were a little bit scared
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: and you know, two nothing lead early and then Sweden,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: who I think is a dark horse in the tournament
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: for me, I think they have the best decore in
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: the tournament, a lot of NHL experience. They started to
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: kind of implement their game and I mean they held
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Canada like twenty twenty two shots, which is which is
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: insane with the amount of skill you have on that team.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: And you know again it was but it was the
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Sidney Crosby show, like this guy is is every every
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: time we think he might be getting a little old,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: you know, he comes out and he plays fantastic game,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: uses his brain. I broke down the three goals that
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: he was involved in directly him using his vision. I mean,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: there's every every single clip of the goal and I'd
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: love and edit here if we put these clips here.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: But before every goal he's he takes a look and
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: scans the ice and then that's where he ends up
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: going with the pucks. So in the mckinning goal, he looks,
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: hees where McKinnon makes that little spin around my backhand.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Then when he goes to mark Stone, he literally looks
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: behind him says, Okay, mark Stone's coming late. I can
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: drive deep, turn up hit mark Stone. He does it,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: and then in overtime he's looking where guys are coming
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: off from the bench and he's looking back behind him
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: where Mitch Marner is goes into the zone, drops it back.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Nobody really does that, and then gets out of the
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: zone leads to the Mitch Marner goal. He's just he's incredible.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: He is Captain Canada. And the crazy stat that I
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: want to really drive home here and drill home before
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: I let you get back on this is in international games, Sidney.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: When Sidney Crosby is playing consecutively, he is twenty six
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: straight wins in his last twenty six international games. He's
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: twenty six and zero. That is such an astronomical number.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: When he is on team Canada, they have not lost
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: in twenty six games.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Dude, that's incredible. I did not know that one grave
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: concern the Shay Theodore injury. As soon as you hear
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: we're down to five defense an, what like, oh my god,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: like geez, like this is this is the start of
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the tournament.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: And I love cal mccarnan.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: It's great sing Drew Dowdy up there, but talk about
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: a potentially crippling injury.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she you never want to see anybody get hurt
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: in this, and I think that was the fear of everybody.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: And then he gets it. It didn't look good. He
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: went and got X rays and and Jackie Redman was
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: kind of commentating on TNT and she said he she
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: said she just saw it and it was like swollen
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: and typically that's a break. That's a breakover a sprain
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: and and he probably broke a wrist or forearm. And
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: I'm not you know, I'm not a doctor, but I'm
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: just saying I played one on TV. But uh yeah,
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying he got X rays and it's not
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: good because he you kind of saw. That's when Sweden
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: started to take over a little bit too, because he's
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: a puck moving defenseman, really mobile, and you know, with
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Pareco and Dowdy, they're not as fleet of foot as him,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: so it's kind of they weren't breaking out the puckets
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: clean once he got injured. And those guys played a
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: lot of minutes. But again, all those all those deep
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: played you know, twenty five plus, So for them it
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: was fine, But that kind of atmosphere I think, uh,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: it was tough and and you know, credit to them,
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: they kind of they bent but did not break. And
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: now Travis Sandheim comes in. But it's a crazy rule
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: that until they're at eighteen skaters, they can't replace anybody.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: So if another D man gets hurt, they have to
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: afford us to play D because the rule, the rule
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: is you're a you have to be at eight under
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: eighteen skaters to replace guys from other teams. So can
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: you imagine you're sitting in Cobos sipping on a cocktail
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: and two guys go down, You go, You needn't come
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: play for Canada against the USA on Saturday and watch
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Jesus two sheets to the wind.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: It'd be a crazy atmosphere. Listen, you're always one for
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: four thinking of being different. How about three on three
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: in the NHL for ten minutes? How wild would that be?
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: I think it's I think it should be severely considered.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: I know McKinnon talked about it and everybody's online saying, well,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: you know, the top guys are gonna get tired. I'm like, well,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: the ten minutes makes you play your whole life. Don't
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: just play the mckinnons for six minutes. He played like
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: six of the seven minutes, Nate McKinnon. See, of course
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: he's going to be freaking tired. He played six to
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: seven minutes. Yeah, he's your best player, He's who you
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: want out there, but you need to have other guys
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: that play. And I think it would just it might
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: cause more goals because you'll have to put a third
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: line out there, a couple guys that don't typically play
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: three on three, And I just think, you know, if
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: you did that, That's the one rule I would like
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: them to look at is ten minutes. And then the
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: other rule in three on three if it's my opinion,
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: and I'm sure Gary listens to this, so Gary, if
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: you're listening, is in the three on three, when you
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: have the puck and you cross the offensive blue line,
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: so you're going into the ozone to attack, you cannot
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: then bring the puck outside the blue line. You have
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: to stay in the offensive zone so you don't get
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: this thing where guys start just bringing the puck back,
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: bringing the puck back, bringing the puck back. It means
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: you have to stay in the offensive zone until there's
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: a turnover. And I think you would increase play and
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: increase turnovers, and it would increase the it would kind
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: of speed up. I think the three on three a
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: little bit.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I mean, it's definitely. Listen, you think back
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: years ago and you go, oh, no, over time, it's
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the way this they'll ever do a shootout that gets incorporated.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: So the game does evolve and change, and you're right,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: but just being things up instantly would make things exciting.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: You predicted Canada USA as many are doing. You're predicting
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: USA to win. Of course, to Quinn Hughes injury that
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: could be notable and impact in such a short term.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Who knows how these things will go down, but Canada
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: US and Saturday is gonna be must watch and potentially
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: February twentieth in the Championship with Sean McDon will be
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: calling in the ESPN. Sean is coming up here momentarily.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: So first Nations off and cooking in the great city

  Speaker 1: of Montreal. I did want to hit you up as
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: well on this quarter century team. We were gonna get
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: this last week, but I know you're doing a little
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: bit of a talking on an NHL network as well.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: So the fact that fans now have opportunity to vote
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: for the NHL's All quarter Century Team. The fan vote
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: will determine the top twenty five players the past twenty
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: five years, regardless of position, that will comprise NHL Courter
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Century Team, presented by sap SO. Voting conducted on both
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: NHL dot Com and x Fans will have one hundred
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: percent of the vote. Only players named to a club
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: first quarter Century team will be eligible four selection.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: We're not gonna pick all twenty five JD.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: How about a starting six for the past twenty five years?
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Jeez, Louise, that's too tough off the god.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: That's that's tough off the top. Crosby, Oh yeah, you know,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: like I would recentcy biased like macar I think for
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: sure has got to be up there. Crosby, do you
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: I don't even know. Do you put Ovechkin in the
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: top six? I don't know, as he is the greatest golds,
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: you do, I would, yeah, okay, twenty five ors you
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: have I think you have to because there's nobody that's
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: done what he's done to you go a Vetchkin. Yeah,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: then you're looking past twenty five years. I mean you are.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Are you considering your boy Chris Pronger or I gotta get.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Chris Pronger There absolutely.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: No, not in the top six. You're nuts crazy, See
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: I baited. You need to into it.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: You need my god, I have to tick.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: The goddamn bad Yeah, Chris Barker, Yeah, I fan of
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: the show, fan of the show. No, McDavid, McDavid. And
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: then I'm probably, yeah, I need other defenseman, howbout the
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: day Chara? But yeah, but we argued that you argued
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: that Pronger is better than Charas exactly press. No, I
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: mean I would probably Scott Needemeyer would maybe be ahead
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: of that. But I'm like, oh no, Nick.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: All right, So Listrom mccarr crossbild Vetchan McDavid. We just
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: did it on the fly.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good line too, decent line.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Just need a goalie.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Who's your pick?
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: The last twenty five years?
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, Broder is kind of one where you can
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: be like you have carry Price, which I don't think
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: many people might take, but carry Price for me is
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: one of the best goal is. You could argue hell
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: about right now. But because he's breaking records, I mean,
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: there's there's so many goalies of cheez, let's go with Marty.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Then we'll say Marty, yeah, so just I'll let's just
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: have Yeah, let's just let's do this off the top
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: and just have people skewer me.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: We didn't have enough time to prep for it in faris.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: We just we're kind of throwing it out there.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: So that's why.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: No, there's Yeah, there's so many guys. I mean it
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: just you think about twenty five years, it becomes very much.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: I'm interested to see the more. The thing I'm more
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: interested to see is that it's one hundred percent fan voting. Yes,
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: so it's the big markets are gonna win. So it's
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: really gonna be good guy. There's gonna be guys like yeah, like.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Austin Matthews gonna make it. All the Leaf fans will
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: vote for him.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it. Like the biggest markets will win. That's
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: what I'm worried about. When they do the all fan
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: but again, you can't trust the writers. They stinks.
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: Well.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: They say you should never meet your heroes, but they
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: never met Sean McDonough one of the most recognizable voices
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: in sport.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: He calls everything. He's always done so at a high level.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I remember calling Boston Red Sox games, Monday Night football,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: the world stories, US Open Tennis Tournament, Winter Olympics, the
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Master's March, Madness, the college world stories. I had the
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: great delight of working with Sean on college football at ESPN,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: where he became friends. And honestly, the inter of you
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: today should be about four nations being underway, in the
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: fact he'll be called the final hopefully Canada USA on ESPN.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: But more importantly I want to talk with the fact
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: that Toronto Blue Jays will always be etched in my
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: memory with Sean mcdonnough because he called it back in
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: ninety two, ninety three.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: And still world champions, your Toronto Blue Jays.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: The great Sean McDonough joins us now for some Kelly
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Gruber and pap Border stories. Sean, it is so great
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: to see you, my friend.
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: Well, nice to see you and the rest of the
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: team here. Thank you for that introduction. I appreciate your
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: reading that just as I wrote it out for you.
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: And we're off to a flying start.
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: You weren't even alive in nineteen ninety two in ninety three,
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: Where were you.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Kidding getting into hockey a little bit? Sean? You know,
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: your lead broadcaster with ESPN and twenty twenty one. How
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: kind of is it getting back into hockey? And what
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: have you seen from the game, how it's evolved, and
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: how has that evolved for you as a broadcaster.
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know it was.
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: We were out for about seventeen years, and I got
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: a kind of a rude lesson opening night in Tampa
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: Bay when we got back in because the game was
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: so much faster than it was seventeen years ago, the
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: last time I had done an NHL game. You know,
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: it used to be you could look down at your
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: chart and oh, who's number seventeen again? Yeah, And I
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: have a good story about him, and I'm going to
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: start telling this story as soon as I find it
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: on my chart, And oh what happened? There's a goal?
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: Oh that was fast? So yeah, I kind of learned fast.
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: The game has changed a lot for the better, you know,
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: and we saw that here in Montreal and opening night
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: of the of the four nations face off.
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: You know the to here.
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: John Cooper has been around obviously for a long time, say,
• 18:41
  Speaker 8: you know, that was the fastest game he's ever seen.
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: And there's a guy who's coaching Stanley Cup finals and yeah,
• 18:48
  Speaker 8: so the game, it's the game's better than ever. You
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: guys know it because you follow it every day. And
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: obviously JD you played at a high level. You know,
• 18:56
  Speaker 8: it's just players are bigger, faster, stronger, more skilled, and
• 19:00
  Speaker 8: I think the game's better. The rules are better. You know,
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: the rules kind of support that. So it's been awesome.
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: Hopefully I'm up to speed now and looking forward to
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: this tournament.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Part of what makes your call so great, Sean is
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: that there's a really musicality to your voice, Like you
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: don't have to be a sports fan to enjoy listening
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: to Sean mcdonnal broadcast. And I can't imitate it, but
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: it would be something of the effect of you know
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Crosby of the Platform, Corl Harbor and Nova Scotia, Like
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: your voice will rise as the play goes. Where did
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: you learn that from? How are you able to do that?
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: Like?
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: How did that style develop.
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: You know what, I don't know. I just think it came.
• 19:35
  Speaker 8: And actually I don't know if it's from watching you know,
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: the great hockey announcers that I watched as a kid.
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: You know, I'm up here with with Ray Ferraro, and
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: I was telling Ray's story. You know, when I was
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: first starting out out of college, one of my first.
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: Jobs was hosting the Boston Bruins between periods, pregame, post game.
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: And I got the call, and I.
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: Was doing a lot of college hockey on nesson, and
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: that's been you know, the thread through the whole damn.
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: So I'm here and you.
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: Know I called games that Mike Sullivan played and it
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: bu and David Quinn and John Hines and Keith could
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: chuck and you know, so you know they're still here.
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: You know, it's some of us are in our sixties now.
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: So you know, I was doing a lot of college
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: hockey and I got a call, Hey, Fred Cusick isn't
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: feeling well and we need you to kind of hurry
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: up to Montreal. So the first NHL game I did
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: for the Bruins was at the old Montreal Forum and
• 20:27
  Speaker 8: it was just such a thrill. But I think I
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: watched Fred, you know, I kind of referred to it
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: as a crescendo style. You know that you should build
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: up to the big moment. If you come on the
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: air and you're screaming from the drop of the puck,
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: then where do you go when something really exciting happens?
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: You know? So I think you need to leave it
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: to me. It should just be to answer your question
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: after a lot of words. You know, it should be.
• 20:50
  Speaker 8: Instinctive, right, I mean, you shouldn't have to think about,
• 20:53
  Speaker 8: oh boy, this is exciting. So maybe I'm supposed to
• 20:56
  Speaker 8: yell louder now, or get more excited, or use really
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: flowery language. You know, you don't have time to do that.
• 21:02
  Speaker 8: And I think, you know, hopefully it's just you go
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: with the moment.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Really, is is there anything like kind of unwritten rules
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: that you don't do? You know, I just got into
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: you know, I do. I do some of the Sharks
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: play by play, and you know, I work with Dan Rusenowski,
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: who's fantastic, and Randy Hahn and and there's like some
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: little nuanced things that you really have. I never knew
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: when when starting a play by play, like not stepping
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: on a goal and as just a reactionary thing. As
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: a player, I'm like, oh my god, that's a great goal.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: But you're supposed to kind of stay silent, let you
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: take the call because that's your moment, and that's your
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: moment to kind of describe the goal and in such
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: a beautiful way. So is there any kind of other
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: unwritten rules or anything that where you're like, hey, this
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: is a big no no that you learned early on.
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: Uh, well, it's kind of to your question about getting
• 21:50
  Speaker 8: back in four years ago. You know, one of the
• 21:53
  Speaker 8: no nos now for me is storytelling all the pucks
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: in play. You know, everything needs to be one sentence.
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: You know, it's and.
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: Then I actually learned this doing the Masters when in
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: the late nineties and the late great Frank Chuckinnion basically
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: invented golf on TV on CBS. He brought me on
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: to do the Masters, and he said, you're a great storyteller.
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: We want you to be a storyteller. But in golf,
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: when we go to you on your whole, we never
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: know how long we're going to stay. You know, it
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: might be live and Tiger Woods is putting to take
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: the lead if we might come to you on tape,
• 22:25
  Speaker 8: and because the tape shots only twenty seconds, we're only
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: staying with you for twenty seconds because the tape ends,
• 22:29
  Speaker 8: so we have to go somewhere else. So I want
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: you to tell stories, but every story needs to be
• 22:33
  Speaker 8: able to end at the end of every sentence.
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: And he gave me an exam.
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: We said, I talked to Tiger Woods on the practice
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: range today and he told me he's.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: Using a new putter. Right, you could stop there, but
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: if you have more time. The reason he's using a
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: new putter is, you know, is.
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: Back's bothering, so he wanted a longer putter so he
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: doesn't have to crouch over quite as whatever.
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: So, and it's really a great lesson that I've tried
• 22:54
  Speaker 8: to take with me through all the other sports and especially.
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: Now in hockey.
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: You know, we have a million notes on every player
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: on all four of these teams in the fort Nations.
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: I mean, you could just spend the whole game reading
• 23:05
  Speaker 8: notes and not describe the play. But you know, the
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: key is to weave them in when it makes sense.
• 23:11
  Speaker 8: The other challenge is, I'm sure you're experiencing Jason is.
• 23:15
  Speaker 8: In hockey, there's no natural rhythm.
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: To when the analyst comes in. When the puck's in play.
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: Right, in football, they run a play, the play ends
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: for the most part of the analyst comes in.
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: Here's why that play did or didn't work. Here's the replay.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: If there was nothing play, it might be a graphic
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: or something.
• 23:31
  Speaker 8: And then you go back to the snap and the
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: play by play guy comes in hockey, you know, the
• 23:35
  Speaker 8: play might go up and down for ten minutes. So
• 23:38
  Speaker 8: and Ray Ferraro is down between the benches. He's not
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: right next to me, so I can't look at him like, hey,
• 23:43
  Speaker 8: do you want to come in?
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: Should I stop for a second? You know you could
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: go like this, you send him a player now to
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: the bench. So so you know, there you develop some cues.
• 23:53
  Speaker 8: I try to every now and then pause, especially when
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: the defenseman's behind the net.
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: There's at the game, the Sweden Canada game.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: But that was incredible.
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I texted John Cooper and I watched after the game.
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: I watched the Kadian TV here does a great job
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: of carrying like every player and coach press conference live
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: or they turned it around fast. So I was watching
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: Cooper and as you guys know, he's just the best.
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: I mean, he was born to sit at the podium
• 24:20
  Speaker 8: after the game and answer questions and talk about it.
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: And so I sent him a note about, Hey, what
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: a special night and what a great game, congrats on
• 24:27
  Speaker 8: the wind and I just want to say, like you're
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: the best ever in the postgame presser.
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: And he sent me a text back and it was
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: like he said.
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: What a special night, simply wow, exclamation point, exclamation point
• 24:44
  Speaker 8: expa and that typical coop. Right, he just summarized it perfectly.
• 24:48
  Speaker 8: So yeah, it's a blessing to be able to do this.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Sean will be calling the championship game on ESPN February twentieth,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: and what's been a legendary career. Perhaps well the highlights
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: was what happened just a year ago. Interview with WCVB
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: and Boston before Game seven, Sean predicted only the David
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Pashenaw will make an impact, but the Bruins would win
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: on a key goal by Pasta. How great was that
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: to call the winning goal shot?
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: I was totally lucky.
• 25:13
  Speaker 8: You know, Uh, Duke Castiglione, who's the anchor on w
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: CVB with Channel five Boston ABC, if I have known
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: him since literally he was probably eight years old because
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: his dad, the legendary Joe Castiglione, is a Red Sox
• 25:26
  Speaker 8: broadcaster just retired and I just you know, won the
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: Ford Frick Award in the Baseball Hall of Fame and
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: just the nicest man on the planet too. So anyway,
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: we're going to do that game seven Toronto and Boston.
• 25:36
  Speaker 8: There's so many storylines on both sides, right, I mean,
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: it's whoever loses, this is going to be excruciating. And
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: uh so, Duke says, Hey, we got a half our
• 25:46
  Speaker 8: pregame show leading in the game.
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: Will you come on for a couple of mens? Sure?
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: So I come on, and he know, I don't know
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: the leg here, I don't know the questions. I'm very upset.
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: I asked you guys to submit these in writing forty
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: eight hours in a dance. So I'm doing my best
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: to wing it.
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: But so at the end, Duke says, oh, you know,
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: give me a prediction for tonight, and you know it's
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: I'm from Boston, It's it's.
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: The home audit.
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: I'm not going, Hey, Toronto is going to win five
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: to one and Jim mccummery is gonna get fired after
• 26:12
  Speaker 8: the game, So you know, I just you know, Pasta,
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: it's easy pick, right, he's their best player, I said,
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: And I thought it would be a close game. So yeah,
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: it's gonna be close game. They're going to win it
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: on my Pasta. So then he scores an overtime and yeah,
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: I was proud of that call. You know, there's some
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: nights you're like, oh God, why did I say that
• 26:35
  Speaker 8: or do that? But that one was, you know, And
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: to j D's point earlier about think you know, call
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: the goal, like call the big moment and shut up.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: Sean, is there a call like, I know you've done
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: so many so it's probably so hard to pick one,
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: But is there a call that? And maybe you go
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: by sport, but that that really sticks with you as
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: something that maybe not your specific call it because I
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: know you you become kind of infamous a little bit
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: with the voice cracks, which I find it's just the
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: best thing ever emotion wise. But is there any kind
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: of call where you were like this was just perfect?
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: You know, some of the voice crack moments, I think
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: they add to people remembering the moment. You know, the Michigan,
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: Michigan State muff punt, you know, all Michigan do is
• 27:19
  Speaker 8: get the pun off and they win the game.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: And heartbreak.
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: Oh he has trouble with the snacks free, you know.
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: And but it goes back to what we talked about here.
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: Your call should reflect what's happening. And you know, I've
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: done a million college football games. We've all watched a
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: million football games. That's still the most shocking, stunning ending
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: I've ever seen. I mean, Michigan had the game won,
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: we were all but saying, what a win for Jim Harbaugh.
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: I think it was his first year as the coach,
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: you know, and against the rival, and and Chris Bally
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: kept saying, you know, if you're a punter, just catch
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: the punt one step and kick it, you know, don't
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: even just Michigan State had eleven, they didn't have anybody
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: back for the punt. If they just got the punt off,
• 28:01
  Speaker 8: the game's over. And with hindsight, like I talked to
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: both John Harrball is one of my best friends, and
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: he and Jim, you know, they've all talked about with hindsight, Now,
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: you coach, guy, hold everybody right, the telligences de lenment,
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: just tackle everybody, they throw a holding penalty, will punt again,
• 28:16
  Speaker 8: you know.
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: But so that was one.
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: You know that I think the hopefully the call match
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: the moment I had a guy in the Atlanta airport
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: say you have a minute. You got to listen to this,
• 28:30
  Speaker 8: and he played like his voicemail that plays when you
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: call him, you get his answer machine, and it was
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: my call out of the play again, it's like, you know,
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: this is ken ghost party, you know, leave a message
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: or whatever it was. Yeah, you know, and then Michigan people,
• 28:46
  Speaker 8: you know, don't kill the messenger. We don't control what happens.
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: You know, I would have yelled the exact same way
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: if it happened the other way, you know, if the
• 28:54
  Speaker 8: Michigan guy ran the ball in and Michigan State lost
• 28:58
  Speaker 8: in excruciating fashion.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do want to say, Sean, somebody who knows
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: you and your family. Of course, the linn it from
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: your dad will and the relationship with your brothers and
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: your sister. But I was really taken by what you
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: said on Jimmy Traina's podcast with your aunt TUTSI.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: So I want you to talk about this because.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: It's important for somebody knows somebody who's respected as you.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: It's not the most likely suspects are so critical in
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: your life, so I wanted you talk a little but Joyan,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: I think it's a really heartwarming story.
• 29:23
  Speaker 8: Oh well, thank you appreciate it, you know, because she
• 29:26
  Speaker 8: really is the most important person in my life.
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: I'll give the reader's digest version. When I was a kid, I.
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: Was the eldest of three at the time, my dad,
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: as you mentioned, sports.
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: Writer for the Boston called travel a lot. And my
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: parents get divorced.
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: My mom had some significant issues that prevented her from
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: having custody of the kids. So the judge said, you know,
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: I inclined to give you these kids, but you travel
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: all the time. They were eleven, nine and seven. You
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: know what's going to happen when you have to go
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: to Minnesota to cover of the Red Sox and the
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: Minnesota Twins. So he was one of nine. One of
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: his eldest sisters, sister Mary Martina, known to us as
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: Aunt Tutsi, was a nickname from her childhood by Irish
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: grandmother when she had her first teak and look at
• 30:07
  Speaker 8: the little tutsy because that's and she became on twitsy.
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: So she was a Catholic nun, a sister of Notre Dame.
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: To my bias for Notre Dame, she went into the common.
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: When she's eighteen years old, she went to Japan as
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: a missionary and she never came back. She was there
• 30:24
  Speaker 8: for like twenty eight years. So my dad called her, Hey,
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: here's the plan.
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: You need to come back, move in with us. We
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: have as good for chunnel thing. It's luck. I think
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: it was meant to be.
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: We had an all girls Catholic high school in our town,
• 30:39
  Speaker 8: Notre Dame Academy, which was run by the sisters of
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: Notre Dame. So come back, move in with us, help
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: me raise the kids. And she saved our lives. I mean,
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: we were really broken in a lot of ways and
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: she just nurtured us, loved us, showed us what it's
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: like to have God at the center of your life
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: and how you live life, and that's the case how
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: you treat people and exist in the world.
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: So yeah, she's a hero.
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: You know, I said in that interview at Man and
• 31:07
  Speaker 8: you know, you know, and I don't mean to turn
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: this into the Billy Graham Gospel Hour here, but the
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: you know, to me, to be a Christian is to
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: follow the example of Christ, right and what.
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: If you believe what I believe, he gave up his
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: life for us. What did she do? That's exactly what
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: she did.
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: I mean, she loved her life over there, that's where
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: her whole life was geared to her that, but she
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: gave it up because she thought God was calling her
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: to come raise us. And that's what she did. And
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: thank you for asking about you know, Like when I
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: first started on this and people would recognize me as
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: in the Red Sox Games.
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: Of twenty five, people would make a big deal.
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: About something, I thought, you know, what, what I do
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: really isn't that important, you know, compared to what people
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: like her every day. So yeah, the most important person
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: ever in my life. And I say that as someone
• 31:55
  Speaker 8: who idolizes my dad. I mean my dad, you know,
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: And you know I don't mean to diminish my dad.
• 31:59
  Speaker 8: And my dad was a superior human being by every
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: standard as well.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Amazing that obviously, like your father was such a legendary
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: favor with those that don't know it, literally changed television
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: broadcasting by being an insider going from print to television.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Last story, then let's.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Make it about your dad, particularly how he would bait
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: the Boston Red Sox with some great nicknames.
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: Oh jeez.
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah, And it was when I was doing the games,
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: so it wasn't doing me any favors.
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: And I would say to many fan's.
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: Dad, did you have to call Roger Clemens, the Texas
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: con man. Yeah, you have to call move on mow Money,
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: you know, because Moe was always threatening to leave.
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: And I don't know, but uh yeah.
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: And I would have the players come over to me.
• 32:46
  Speaker 8: Sometimes they get mad at me, and I would say
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: to them, I don't know if you have a phone,
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: but here's my dad's number. I have nothing to do
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: with this, you know, just like if you had a
• 32:57
  Speaker 8: problem with something I said on one of these games,
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: I wouldn't expect.
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: You to call my dad and yell at him. You know,
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: I'm right here.
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: So yeah, but I had a few players over the
• 33:07
  Speaker 8: years come up to me and tell me my dad
• 33:09
  Speaker 8: was sometimes I'm not very nice names, but.
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah. So people said like, did your dad help you
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: along the way. I'm like, yeah, I'm.
• 33:18
  Speaker 8: Pretty sure he probably helped me get a start at missing,
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: but I think he's gotten me fired twice.
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: So you know, so it's it probably even now, it's
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: at some point, you know, it's uh. I remember what
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: you know when.
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: You know you have no chance? Right, I'm thirty, I
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: get hired by CBS to do the World Series. And
• 33:40

• 34:04
  Speaker 8: what we got that little you know series in the fall.

• 35:27
  Speaker 1: major news right now, that's just gonna be a remake
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: of Young Buddy kidding me. This is a movie which
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: has been blowup by hockey people for a long time.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: The fact there's gonna be a remake.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Giti, you can still skate, you can still play, You're
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: a charismatic guy. You're married to an actress. For God's sakes,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Joe can help you run lines. We gotta get you
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: involved here in young Blood the.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: Remake, Yeah, I mean everything's lined up for me to
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: being this. I just don't understand. I do could put
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: on a French accent. I'll act thish, I'll act my
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: ass off in this. Kidding me again they bring in,
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: don't worry. I'll get this. My skates will be good,
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: the boots are still good, my hips are loose. Throw
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: me in. I could do the old young Blood triple deep,
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: but that was my That's my favorite hockey movie growing up.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: A lot of people will say slap shot or and
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: Slapshot is up there, But young Blood for me is
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: there is so much wrong with that movie. That's why
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: it made it so good. So much wrong.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: So cameras have just rolled on the movie and Hamilton
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: and Barry Ontario, with Hubert Davis directing. Young Blood follows
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: hockey pology dean Youngblood who joins the Hamilton Mustangs and
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: discovers he must face off against toxic behavior on the
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: ice and within himself. The original film star Rob lo
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: O Patrick Swayze can of Reeves in his feature film debut.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Low and Reeves are not on the bench to return.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Of course, Swayze has passed away, So I mean the cast,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: including Ashton James as Dean young Blood, Blair Underwood, love
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: for him from Ellie Law. He was in Long Legs
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: with Nicholas Cage's pastor Deep Impact. He's playing the father,
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Sean Doyle, Alexander McDowell. Again, a lot of these actors
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: are not major names. We gonna get Jason Burg's in here,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: and this is one of the quotes. Young Blood is
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: not homage the movies of the eighties, but are reorienting
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: of these films and ideas. Nice especially say that, especially
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: those about masculinity, which my generation grew up on throughout
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: our prog excuse me. Through a protagonist Dean Young Bob
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: explore the nuances of the black masculine experience via the camaraderie, brutality,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: and triumph for the.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: World of hockey.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Listen, you maybe you could play the white racist. If
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: it's a film about black masculine, you'd play the wine race.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Look at Timur's playing the heel, all right, that would
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: show your range.
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: At least.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: I'm a huge wrestling fan, so you know, playing a
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: heel and not breaking kfe. It would be big thing
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: for me to do that.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: No question.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: All right, let's do cinephile in sixties. So I gotta
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: get a couple things out of the way here before
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: JD's fired up talk with a couple of films he saw,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: and I think all people out there would be interested
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: in the moral Dilemma of Juror number two and also
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: a Different Man A twenty four. They always do fantastic stuff.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: It was not only an outstanding weekend for the Philadelphia Eagles,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: but also for my man, Sean Baker and the film Anora.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Prior to going into this Oscar race, if you looked
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: at the numbers, Emilia Perez thirteen Oscar nominations, the Brutalist one,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Best Picture of the Golden Globes, and Best Dictor for Brady.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: So everyone thought they're the favorites.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Well, no, the PGA, the Producers Guild of America, gives
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Best Picture to Anora. Let's go tell the DGA Directors
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Guild of America gave their Best Director of War to
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: what not Brady Corbay for the Brutal List, but Sean
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Baker for a Nora, Let's go tal. That means no
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Nora is now in the driver's seat. They won the
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: PGA and the DGA. Get ready for the Oscars and
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: of course the Saga wards are still to come. A
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: couple of documentaries want to briefly mention her because Tao
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: wan Be mentioned. Sugarcane, which is an excellent movie for
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: all those especially in Canada listening. It's about the indigenous
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: communities who were in these residential schools in Canada from
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: a century ago. It's a harrowing story. It's very sad,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: the treatment of Canon, the First Nation Shad. It's just
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: appalling what happened decades ago.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it. That's uh. I'm actually even watched that
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: tal you liked it. I I'm into my docu series
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: kind of documentary phase right now. But yeah, that was
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: It was a brutal time and all that stuff coming
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: to light.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's Sugarcane's available on Hulu if you're gonna
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: watch it there, And honestly, it's a very very film.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: And I saw No Other Land, which is fantastic Israeli
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Palestinian collective and it's about what's happening right now.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: In Gaza, which is just a heartbreaking movie to see.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: It's a favorite right now to win Best Documentary at
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: the Academy Awards. And I mentioned Israeli Palestinian Collective. So
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: the story is they're focusing on this Palestinian village. But
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: what happens is an Israeli student for friends, well the
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Palestinian guys, and they become friends. So basically he's trying
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: to say, listen, I'm trying to shed light on Palestinians.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: What can I do to help you? That's how the
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: film actually came about. No distributor would touch the movie.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: They're way too.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Skinn OF's like, eh, Israel Palestine. But then the Oscars.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: This is why people say why why the Oscars matter?
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Because of this, because they mom maated the movie for
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Best Documentary. Now, it's going to be slow theatrical release,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: it'll be hopefully streaming soon.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: It's giving more attention what's happened to Israel Palestine?
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: And like I said, if it actually wins the Oscar,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: if it wins her Best Documentary, a lot more people
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: are going to see No Other Land, which is a
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: great film. All right, let's get to Juror number two.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Clineaswood movie jad. He's made a lot of great movies,
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: especially later in his career. If you thought he peaked
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: with Unforgiven, for which he won obviously a bevy awards,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: including Best Picture, you were wrong, Clint falls it up
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: a million dollar baby, great film. He's been churning him
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: out for a while, and yet Warner Brothers kind of
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: bar his journy number two. It came and went.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: But I'm with you. I thought it was a very
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: good movie.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Speak to us about why he liked it, particularly the
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: moral dilemma of the film.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just you know, the way they shot this
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: and kind of almost getting to the ending at the
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: start with with the dilemmas thrown right into your lap
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: and it's how do I get out of this? Obviously
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: the don't want to give away the plot, but I
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: just love you know, not only that, but the showing
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: the flaws and the justice system and showing how some
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: people will overlook certain things because they're trying to get
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: ahead in life. But you know, having coming out as
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: a as a man with you know, I don't have
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: kids yet, but being in that you know, his wife's
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: pregnant and basically finds out if so facto that he
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: probably committed this crime, and what does he do? Does
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: he stay within this juror I don't know what would
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: you call that when the collective of Jersey just the jurors.
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: When he stays with the jurs does he prosecute this
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: guy that's obviously innocent, or does he try to do
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: the right thing get him off? Kind of tell oh, jesuis,
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: I'm falling over myself here. This is what I This
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: is what I look like when I'm trying to act smart.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: I love your Yeah, thank you. It's this and that
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: towel's giving me the thumbs up. No are you? You know,
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: he's trying to absolve himself in his conscience. And then
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: it's kind of it goes it goes off the rails
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: a bit, but it's kind of one of those things
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: you're watching the movie and you're like, would I do
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: this in the same situation? Like what I just go
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: up to the you know, basically go up to the
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: judge and be like, I did it. This was my fault. Hey, sorry,
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: because knowing full well you're going to go to prison,
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: or because you have a kid on the way, You're like,
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: I have to predict my family at all costs. That
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: is the main thing, is protecting my family being there
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: for him. So it was it pulls in a lot
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: of directions. And that's what I love about Clint Eastwood,
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: that that old bastard. He's ninety four, he still does
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: great movies. Now like it and you talked about it.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: We both said JK. Simmons, love JK Simmons, He's great.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: Always a great way to two time guest talent.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: Did you watch it?
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: I did. I liked it. I liked it and and
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: like it's a good watch.
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: Right, interesting backstory about I mean, the film was completely buried.
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: Most people didn't even know about it when it came out.
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: I watched it on Max and I thought it was.
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: I like a film that kind of presents a scenario
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: that makes you wonder, what would I do if I.
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: Was in that situation. That's sort of you know, that.
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: That personal judgment called questioning your own morality?
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: A good cast too, very good.
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, so I didn't get much ward discussion obviously,
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: zero Again, Clint Eastwood still still making compelling films in
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: his nineties is pretty amazing.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: And as far as what you would do The key
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: is you get the guy off because you don't want
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: an innocent man going to jail for God's sakes, and
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: then you run like the hills.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: And he did not he he got he he did
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: not get him off, and then he didn't he stayed put.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: Last thought before he wrapped things up. Listen, my guy
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: is humble about his career. He'll say he wasn't that
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: great a player. But you walk around arena sometimes you'll
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: see a Demers jersey. What you'll not see is a
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: Demers Russia jersey. What is going on in the world.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: We gotta find this guy.
• 43:23

• 43:26
  Speaker 3: popular plug in Angel history. I'm up there, you know
• 43:30
