  Speaker 3: segments here, right, and we're trying to do segments much
• 2:08

• 2:12
  Speaker 3: am I wrong? For ad Nan? Tell them to talk

  Speaker 3: about your travel story.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Sure, so normally I fly back home and whenever I
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: get back, it's all good. But I generally find I
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: don't know about you, JD. But do you want to
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: have the same rhythm? And John Forstland has told me,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and I don't want to say this out loud because
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: if it ever happens Forest, you'll blame me, but he's
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: never missed a game in forty years, and I'm like,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: that's insanely You've never missed a game in forty years.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: This guy calls fifty cracking games. He works for TNT
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and Amazon Prime. And with the reliance on airplanes. JD's
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: mom worked at Air Canada, people always complain like that's
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: incredible to that John Forsland has never missed a game.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: And he goes, well, here's the thing.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: No matter what, I always take the first flight, because
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: he's like, the plane is there the night before, the
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: pilot has gotten his eight hours of sleep. There may
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: be a delay, there may be de icing, there may
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: be but that first flight is probably gonna get.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Out later in the day.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: You take more chances anyways, So reason I had a
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: noon flight schedule. Normally I take the first flight out,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: but it was Toronto. Maybe I'll go see my parents
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: for breakfast. I hang out with them all day Sunday,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: so I took.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: The noon flight. Anyways.

• 3:14
  Speaker 1: you know what, let me get to your flight, follow
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the four zone rule, get the first fight out. I
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: check the Amazon, like, yeah, wet's switch int the eight
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: forty five great had a great time, saw some friends
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: after the game. Get through the airport. Nights in early,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: get to F ninety eight at eight o'clock. I generally
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: like to pop altle melatonin, so then I'll fall asleep
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: on the plane. But it takes him at a half
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: hour to kick in. That's what they say. So it's
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: eight o'clock. Boarding is eight eight twenty. The flight today

  Speaker 2: And she said, can I go listen? If you have
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: any issues, seriously, hold my hand. She's like my mom says.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: She goes, ye, I go, just hold my hand.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: You're gonna be fine, I promise you, because I it's
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: not embarrassing.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I go, trust me.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I don't like blind. Most people don't like fine. Nobody
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: likes this experience right now. So a lot of people
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: are right there with you.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Deep breasts.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: You hold hand like okay, and her sister's in the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: other aisle. I go, your sister's a nurse, to go
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: ask we look at melotone, it's Nashville. Go ahead, papacalla shoes.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I don't want to take any were you drugging people
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: on the plane, So I'm like passing it out when
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: there was so many And then I.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Having a melton, I felt that moment like when the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: place was to kick it, and she immediately grabbed my hand.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I'm like, it's okay, it's okay, we got this. We
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: got this. Do all right. And then on the way
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: down we did get some serious turbulence.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh Jesus even I was like, and she
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: like grabs my hand, goes okay, we got this.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: We got this.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: So I mids imidst a terrible day in terms of
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: what could have been a disaster, I felt like I
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: did my part.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Is a good submaritan. I helped this lady get through
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: a bad flight.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: And uh, we learned our lesson, Jadie, don't fall asleep,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: don't nap, stay up the whole time.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's stinks. I once missed a flight for
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: for drinking in the in the in the bar of
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: the airport and we we we have like an hour
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: and we realized like two hours later we're ship faced
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: and we missed her flight.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Because I'm because now, but.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: At some point that mister demurs Jason tours Plase like
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering. I wanted to ask, did you say ad
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Nam burk work. I'm like, I think I would have
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: heard my name, but you didn't say anything.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: No, we blew by that because we ended up walking
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: to the gate, and then we sat at the gate
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: and we're like, oh, look at all these people here,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: like everybody's waiting for the flight. But that was the
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: next flight that we completely missed because we were hammering
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: and we're sitting there laughing. We look around, we turn
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: around and go, lock, where's our plane? If we've been
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: sitting here for a little bit, right home, right to bed.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Well's at least in your instance wherever you're going. Like, again,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: if I missed the flight, I have to work, it's
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: not a big deal. My fear was the noon flight's canceled.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Now yeah, costing MLB network, It's Hall of Fame day.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Carlos Beltian's all where the hell's urk?
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Well, he plaes still in Torontom, Like, I'll get in
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the car, I'll drive, well, do what I gotta do.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: So tell am I wrong? Was it on me? Was
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: it on Air Canada? Who's it fault? Here? Here's my
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: thought on this, and it is on you?
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, but I will say this, I think I
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: company man.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: I think I think it should be a policy among
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: the airlines if someone is asleep at the gate and
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: the and the plane is boarding, they.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Should be required to check with that person, even.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: If it means waking them up and they're not on
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: the flight. They should check with something them and say,
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: excuse me, sir, ma'am are you waiting to board this flight?
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: We don't want you to miss it? Yes, And worst
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: that happens, you wake them up and they go back
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: to sleep. But yeah, I think that should be kind
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: of the standard that if someone working at the gates
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: sees that they check in just to make sure that
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: they're they're not going to miss their flight.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: We have a wonderful guy named Adam Schlackman who does
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the scheduling, and he used a couple of offices over
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: from me.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: After Demerse pops.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: By, is this after the flight?
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: He goes, who's this guy?
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Demerse goes, just so you know, he recorded a video
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: of you before he came in to say hello to you.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I go, thank god. Demurse thinks I don't know that
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: he's going to pop this up on this right now.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: It's what he's doing eating an apple by office.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I've got spies everywhere, slackers, don't worry. He
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: video bombed you for about thirty seconds. Then he came
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: in try to be your body like, I'm ready for it,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: no problem, shlack office.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: On top of it.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: I watched you eat that apple, caress that apple for seconds.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Nothing wrong.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, it looked, it looked good. And then you had
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: socks on the desk that looked like a man of
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: mister Flight today.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Look, I hate wearing shoes. I believe that's also a
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Bender thing. When were you and Bender way back in
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the day, there was a thing about taking it. Well.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: He came into my he came into my apartment, and
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: he had shoes on, and he's you know, obviously most
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: places I'd be like, eh, no, shoes off. I'm a
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: New Jersey, New York. The filth that's out here, Yeah,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: actually get your goddamn shoes off. He was offended by it.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Wow, I'm team Demurs. I mean, you come up my
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: house you gotta take your shoes off.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: What are we doing always? Yeah, but yeah, you're not
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: a shoes guy. No, so I fell by my office.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I take my shoes off immediately. Now Tom's point, I
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: keep my socks on. I'm not I'm not a socks
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: off guy. I think that's gross. You're not an absolute animal.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: But any chance I did my shoes off, I take
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: my shoes off.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Wow, on the desk. That was Steve Tronzano's desk too.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: The tronz has never been on that desk. It's not true.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: By the way, I thought Tal had a critical comment
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to make him the chat. All it said was got
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: to get to hockey soon. He's lost interest now in
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: this topic. Let's move on. This is what podcasting is about. Well,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: we had a video element. Well video element. I think
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: we could definitely agree how that would be more fun.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: But our producer is not a fan of this. We'll
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: see if Bob Bender like the m I wrong. All right,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Rasmus Anderson's going to Vegas, the trade market going to
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: heat up. We all knew this. You saw Anderson's Saturday
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: night kind of getting an emotional there at the saddle.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: He knew the word was coming. Calgary retains fifty percent
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: of his salary.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: They get back Zach Whitecloud, a prospect Abram weeby a
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: first round pick in twenty twenty seven second round or
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty that does get bumped up to a first
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: rounder if Vegas wins the Cup this season. So again,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Andrew was a guy JD we would talk about. We
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: know he's gonna go somewhere at UFA this summer.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: What do you make of the trade? First off for Vegas?
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: How much does this help them? Yeah?
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: I think it's an upgrade, you know. I think Kelly
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: McCrimmon is an absolute gun slinger, does not give a
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: big ares fuck about draft picks. He doesn't care. You
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: look at the last you know, because you know first
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: round picks and I understand, but you know, you can
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: you draft somebody that has the potential to be a
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: superstar unless you're getting a top three Uh. If you
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: see somebody that's already established in the NHL, that that
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: is already producing at a high level, why wouldn't you
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: go out and get that person? Keep your team if
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: you can make it work financially, which they seem to
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: have done so far. It's an upgrade. I mean, listen,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: I like Zach Whiteclott a lot what he's done for
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: this team, and you know, he's won a Cup, and
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: he plays a good too in or foot game. He
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: can be physical, he can play some offensive defense. So
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: I think Calvary's by no stretch of the imagination they're
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: getting a solid boat of a solid return for Rasmus Anderson.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: But yeah, Rasmus is just he's a good, good hockey player,
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: He's a gamer. I think he's an upgrade from Zach Whiteclott,
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: and I think this really really makes Vegas his top
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: four when healthy, you know, one of the best in
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: the league. With Hannafin now reunited with his buddy Rasmus Anderson.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: You look at the what they've kind of gotten from Calgary,
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: and I just this is just a you know, it's
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: that question of do you want draft picks or players
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: that are established, And it seems to be a common
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: thread in the NHL amongst fans of like, oh, I'll
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: take a boatload of first round draft picks and then
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: you know, hopefully have a team for years. And it's like, well,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: those are great, but if you don't develop, you have
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: like a five year window, and it's like about a
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: three to five year weight for them all to kind
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: of hit, and then if it doesn't hit, you get
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: to restart all over again. And staid, you're taking a
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: guy that's proven to be a top four defenseman in
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: the NHL. It's playing big minutes, can score goals, he's
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: got some jam to him, versus a first round pick
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: that you don't know what it's going to turn into.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: And if you look at like their list of first
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: round picks since their inception that they've traded away, I
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: think there's like three that are playing in the end.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: The only one that hurts is Nick Suzuki. That's the
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: only one I think where they miss. But other than that,
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: I'm like, fucking it hasn't been that bad. I think
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: it's worked out pretty well for them. And I think
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: if you're any fan in the NHL, the question would be,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: would you rather take Vegas where Vegas is right now
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: or where Calgary is right now?
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: And I think oftentimes to your point about trading the picks,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: if you're a general manager, you have to have real
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: confidence that you have good jobscrew that you can make
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: these trades and you'll still be around because sometimes that happens.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: You don't care because you dealing the picture going.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: If I don't make this trade, if this doesn't work out,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: if we don't make the playoffs, I'm not going to
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: have a job in three years anyways when these draft
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: picks pay off. So ultimately, Anderson's a good players and
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: improve that team. And Vancouver right now is in a situation,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: as Jimmy Rutherford knows, Patrick Albin knows, we're not going anywhere.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I just trade all the assets we can. Let's top
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: their players.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: So Key for sure where goes to San Jose second
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: rounders in twenty twenty six and twenty twenty seven, along
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: with the defenseman Cole Clayton.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: He has been one of the few bright spots in
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: this Vancouver team. Seventeen goals this season, He's on pace
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: to shatter his career high. How much to Sure would
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: help your your guys there in San Jose, Well.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Just an added piece on the wing for them, you know,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: I think a thirty year old that that's kind of
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: where they're at. You know, it's interesting, it's a tailor
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: of two teams with Vegas and San Jose. Like you know,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Vegas is kind of win now, and in San Jose
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: had this plan of a rebuild of you know, three
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: to five years, and it kind of got sped up.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Maclin CELBRINGI sped it up, and that's one of those
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: rare cases where you're able to get the first overall
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: pick and he turns into this generational talent. So I think,
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: and this is also a vote of confidence from Mike
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Greer to the San Jose Sharks saying, Hey, you guys
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: have earned this as a group. I'm gonna go out
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: and get something to make you guys better. So sometimes
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: it's not like, hey, we're going all into win now,
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: but it's like we're gonna bring in a guy that's
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: thirty years old. We're probably gonna sign him a five
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: year deal, you know, and he's going to be there
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: until he retires or if this thing doesn't work out.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: But we're bringing in a guy that another guy that
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: plays physical is a shit disturber, can score goals, can
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: play on your third line, can play in your first line,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: it doesn't really matter where. And I think it's going
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: to benefit this team down the stretch, especially with you know,
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: the plethora of young guys that they have, so I
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: think it's a great, little tidy piece of work. You know,
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Mike Career has made some Initially when he got that team,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: it was a little bit of a tangled up heap
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: and mess, and he's had to unravel all these strings
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: and kind of put his imprint on the team and
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: it's kind of really coming to fruition. He's making some
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: very good moves that are really benefiting this team. So
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: I think it's a good tidy piece of work by
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Mike Career. And again, the guys in San Jose earned it.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: They earned it. They go into Florida and Tampa and
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: they split. Obviously, their back to backs have been a
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: little bit shitty and they have a tough schedule down
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: the stretch.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Here, just say, tough to beat the Lightning or the
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: best team in the Eastern Conference right now.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Just rolling after beating the Panthers. If you beat the
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: if you beat the Lightning and the Panthers back to back,
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think he would have went out and
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: tried to trade for Crosby at that point because you're
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: you're winning the Cup. Because it's a too you know,
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Florida has been struggling with Tampa's just a stud So
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I think they're they're in they're in
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: a good spot, they're ahead of the curve. And this
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: is where it gets a little tough, I think for
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: a GM, which is like, do you push your chips
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: in because you're but you can't get horny because you
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: don't want to get too horny and be like, well,
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: I'm trading white acids. I'm trading white acid's because we're
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: in a playoffs. But it's like, no, you got to
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: trust the process and make sure you kind of put
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: one foot in front of the other. And I think
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: he does that with Keith for Surewood and I still
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: think they need you know, they have five defensemen that
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: are gonna be UFA's next year that they're probably gonna lose.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Maybe they'll keep DeHart in and uh but yeah, they're
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: gonna have He's got a lot of work cut out
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: for them on the back end specifically. But yeah, good
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: pick good pick up by this San Jose.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: And sure would. By the way, it's gonna be fine
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: the summers to do for a big race.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: So you're talking about not utter sign, well, you're talking
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: about not getting too horny. In the meantime, there's all
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: but restraint here in terms of not want to shoot
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: your load, and that's what the Rangers are doing. This
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: letter was sent almost exactly eight years after Rangers executives
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Jeff Gordon and Glenn say The wrote a letter to
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: fans explaining how the team is going in a different direction.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Current Blue Shirts president and gim Christie put pen to
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: paper told fans, with our position in the standings and
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: injuries to key players this season, we must be honest
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: and realistic about our situation.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Now. Went on to say, it's not a reable, it's
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: a retool. We all know that's, you know, euphemism.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: The Rangers are not offering star Ford or Timmy penerin
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: at contract extension.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: After that, that's when it was revealed.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: So the Russian playmakers is the top of list right
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: now as far as targets going towards the trade deadline.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Your thoughts in the letter. I was on Edge on
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Network on Friday.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I was amused by it more than anything, and especially
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: if you're a Rangers than I can imagine just tossing
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: a hands up in the air.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: But but Aaron's getting doubts.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: The bottom line, Yeah, I hope like the Kings are
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: in Anaheim. I think those are two teams that could
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: use him, you know, Quinnville. I think it's definitely the
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Kings really need him. I mean the paper, the letter
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: had some you know there add some notes of potential.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: He wrote a letter.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe gem maybe what's the other one,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Google or Gemini? Maybe Gemini would who knows, you know,
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: who knows? We need a sponsor? Could be chat GPT
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: sponsored by CHET, but it's you know, chat GPT's that
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: hyphen is that dead giveaway and there's a hyphen that
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: didn't need to be there, Like no human being is like,
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: let me write this letter. Oh this needs a hyphen
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: right here. It's not like it's not like he's bridging
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: two last names or anything like that. So it's like, so,
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: uh listen the Rangers man, oh man, Like, I just
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: think it's been mismanaged. Uh, you know, unfortunately, not unfortunately,
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: but you know, Chris Chruri is really embedded in that organization.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: They really believe in him and what he's done. But yeah,
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: I just I just don't that that team doesn't have
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: an identity, and you're you're starting to kind of get
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: into a position where you see Igor Shisterkin visibly frustrated
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: like game in and game out. Like the media, he's
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: more and more kind of short. I'm like, you might
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: lose this fucking guy, like if you keep going the
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: way you're going, like, because no one wants to hang
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: around players that are signed to twelve year deals don't
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: want to be on rebuilds. So it's like, yes, you're rebuilding.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: You've pushed this off for years. You got to ask
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Igor Shusterka now to be kind of you know, patient
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: for three years so you know where this goes and
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: where the Rangers go. I don't know. They need a
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: lot of work on their back end. Their forward group
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: is missing. They're gonna now lose Paneren. We'll see what
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: the hall you can get. But to me, I'm like,
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: I don't understand what he's doing with the Panerien thing.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Like he's announcing like Panera can get traded. So it's
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: like now every GM is like looking their chops because
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: he's a UFA. So I'm like he did if he
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: doesn't want, he could just play out the year and
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: then just leave New York and they get nothing for him.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: And conversely, if you're a GM in the league. You're
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: gonna try to get him and least the mouch exactly.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Right, So I don't know if you're trying to start
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: a bidding war, but I feel like you you're.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Trying to start a biding war. Say the teams are
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: on the cush. Oh my god, you get Panera and
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: you knocker sow up.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: But I'm with you.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I think most gyms go I'll give up something. I'm
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: not gonna get up too much anyway. Yeah, I'll give
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: him the off season.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, who, I mean, who can use him? I think
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: the Kings definitely. I think the Kings just keep coming up.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's a.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Kings are stay a team, like they just need some offense.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: They need him. Yeah, it would help them. He'd be
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: an upgrade from Cusbenco and and and that forward group
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: that desperately needs it and they need to make the
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: playoffs but they miss there and they're in fucking trouble.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: And then you can also look at UH Minnesota Wild
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: as well.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Maybe big question becomes how much you believe in Jewry
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: if he's the guy even to turn around this Rangers team.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously I respect him as a player, what
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: he's able to do.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: But I don't I would be underwhelmed if I'm a
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Rangers fan right now, I look at it.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, respect what he's done as a player, definitely. Uh,
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: I just don't quite understand some of the moves as
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: a GM Unfortunately. It's just it is what it is.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: It's it's tough. It's a tough job because we're in
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: the media. We have to scrutinize, we have to look.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying he's a piece of ship by any means,
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: but I'm just saying like he's mismanaged the club and
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: in some sense of the word, and I just don't
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: think it's a lot of head scratching. Yeah, I'm kind
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: of sitting here like I don't understand that is that
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: chatchipt is that you know? Like what's with the letter?
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: I get it, you're in the Rangers and you're trying
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: to feel like you're Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: But come we believe they just just play hockey. Just
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: play hockey.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Uh. In the meantime, speaking to playing hockey, Chucky is back.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Bill Zio wouldn't tell us a damn thing about the
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: return of Matthew could Chuck, but the Panthers for I
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: finally made his season debut. That was in Flora's foremen
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: loss to the aforementioned Sharks. Chuck had been out since
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: surgery in August the torn abductor muscle and sports Turnia
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: went pointless just in or twenty.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: One minutes against San Jose. Did have three shots and
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: a hit.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Florida right now, JD on the outside looking at a
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: playoff spot, and I know over keeps saying, Hey, it's Florida,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: they'll be fine. The other day they'll be okay, But
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: this is kind of that moment. Right It's a couple
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: of weeks down before the Olympics. You get two and
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: a half weeks before that, make a little headway, and
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: then right after that it's gonna be a sprint to
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: the finish.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: So I'm of the.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Belief theoretically that Florida will be fine, but it's so
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: tight and congested the East right now. They need some
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: of those loser points. They need to figure things out.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: And they got Matthew kat Chuck back, which is huge.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm you know, it's it's it's a little worrisome.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: I'll be honest, with you. But you know, if you
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: look at their last stretch of games, they got what three, four, five, six,
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: seventy nine, got nine games before the break. Six of
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: the nine are against out of conference teams, and then
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: your last three before the break are all Atlantic Division teams,
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: So that is that is going to be some big,
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: big games. And then right out of the break they
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: got the Maple Leafs and the Sabers. So the last like,
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: after these next six games, it's five straight against five
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: straight against their own division, so they need to kind
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: of make up some ground against because I always say,
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: like the conference games is where you kind of make
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: up ground out of conference because you can't get the
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: loser point, the overtime points. So to me, it's like,
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: you know they got right now they have Jets the
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: while the Blackhawks and Mammoth Blues and Jets before these games,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, these are winnable games, like they can go
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: in a little bit of a run here, and then
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: they're playing the Atlantic Division, so that's like that then
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: becomes their this is their push. You know, if they don't,
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: if they're not within four points of a playoff spot
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: come to break, I think it's going to be very tough.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be very tough to make it post break.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that that's where the challenge becomes.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: You start to say, well, but like, I do think
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: you're right that somebody is sitting there with it's Bill Zeno,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: whether it's Paul Maurice saying what's the number? Like how
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: you know you keep saying well with them with four
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: points of the playoff spot past four teams ahead of you, right,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Like It's that's where I think it's simple. Masters become
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: an issue with this, Like, that's where I keep laughing.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: These leaf fans are like ten game points coming. You're
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: still not even a playoffs spot. Yeah, she still haven't
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: gotten ready to be. You still have room to grow.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Even the Sabers as great as run as it's been,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: like yeah, but a couple losses and you have a
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: playoffs pot again.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: So it's it's I'm with you. I think Florida should
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: see it.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Right, don't talk about my Sabers. They're they're a fucking wagon.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: A wagon right.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Now, I asked your wagon.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: No he did the TNT game Flyers Savers? Who did
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Jody Shelley did it last Wednesday? And go Savers making
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. He's like, because they lack a little killer instinct,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: because they don't they don't really put teams away.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Listen, I'm not writing either.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: I cover the NHL. These guys cover one team. I
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: love Jody Shelley. Yeah, Colamas Blue Jackets. He's all in. Yeah.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: But when you cover a team, you get a little
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: bit near sighted. Well, this team's a fucking wagon. This
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: team is getting They're rolling into the playoffs right now.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I love your passion for the Sabers. I also I'm
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: assuming your passion for a good goalie fight. Kachuck didn't
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: score against the Sharks, but every was talking about what
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: happened with the connect energy, perhaps rubbing offense and players
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: for the first time since Edmonton's Mike Smith and Calgary's
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Cam Talbot knuckled up. February first, twenty twenty A goalie fight.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Seeing Bobrovski making a two hundred foot trek down just
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: to fight Alex Nadelkovitz. Fantastic, pretty good goalie fight. They
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: got five for fighting, two for leaving the crease. You
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: think of the all time great goaliefights, of course, hecks
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: all pot fans, great Patrick wall osgood Wall versus Vernon
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Sugar Ray Emery.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: I can't spiroll, but this is pretty solid.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: I mean the fact that Bob got a couple of
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: good shots and eventually Bob did go down with me
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: to Dalkwitch won the fight. But my favorite part of
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: the JAD was the cutaway of the Shark's bench and
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: you see guys going nuts like that was made the
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: entire thing worth it.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: That's what it's all about, is that. And if you
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: look at that, like that lineup of guys, it was
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: like Mesa Will Smith, you know, celebrity chernus Off. It's
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: all these like nineteen twenty year olds just losing their
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: mind like kids at school.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Like ah to school fight. Ah.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: You know, I just that's what hockey's about. You look,
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: you know, you look at all those guys in that
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: bench to all super skilled, you know, guys that probably
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: in their career will maybe have five fights total between
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: a lot of them. Uh not saying they're not, you know,
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: tough players, but there's just another there's just a level
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: of respect for guys that can fight and and goalies
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: you know doing the but it's it's it's bigger than that.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: It just shows like the great kind of the rich
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: tapestry if you, if I may, of the game that
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: that is hockey is just fighting, and it's it's it's
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: part of it's embedded in the culture. And and I
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: think it's anytime you see somebody that your teammate kind
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: of the willingness to drop the gloves and fight, I
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: think you just love it. And and when it's a goalie,
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: it's just something different because we all we all dream
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: of the goalie fight. Like it's every time there's a
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: goal that jumps in a scrum, everybody's first look is
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: looking at the other goal. That's what we all do
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: as fans that we all do his media, we all
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: look down the ice and goes he coming? Is he coming?
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: So I just think it was great by Bob, who
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: struggled a bit this year to kind of shout up.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: You know, this is a guy that somebody said it yesterday.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: It's the guy that's won two cups ten million bucks
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: a year. Guy doesn't need to go down and fight. Yeah,
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: but he fucking that's him. Older guy can hurt himself
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: thirty six. This guy says, no, screw it, caution of
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: the wind. I fight you. It was Dragle it was
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Drago versus Rocky.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: I will break you.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: I would break you.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Tell your thoughts on goalie fights.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Love a good bullet of goalie fight.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: And again I was going to say, I love the
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: response from the Shark's bench. They they were absolutely their
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: eyes were just bugging out of their head. Great point
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: about Bob too. What does this guy have to prove
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: to anyone?
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: You know? And and not a thing.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: I want to know what it's like that moment. What's
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: that moment when you're all the way at the end
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: of the end of the ice, you see things are
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: starting to get heated all the way two hundred feet away,
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: and you're like, I'm going I'm getting in there, you know,
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: hold my calls, I'm going in.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: I just love that.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: For me, it's like the fight itself is fun, but
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: the anticipation when you're watching the one keeper make that
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: long skate all the way down the ice, it's just.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: It's like a WWE entrance.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: They need entrance music for these stone cold fucking awesome
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: than three Bob three sixteen.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: It is that John Cena's music.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, just goes nuts.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: It certainly was a memorable moment.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Meantime, one of the stories of this hockey season, at
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: least recently, has been all the noise coming out of Ottawa,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: and this time to try to silence that noise. Linas
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Almark spoke, this is a week after the sense statement
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: regarding rumors about a you know, alleged affair matters at home,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: et cetera.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: That's why all Mark's not there.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Well, he spoke to tssn's Claire Hannah emotional interview released
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday, the same day that Ottawa assigned Levi marijuana
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: to Belleville. The HL after the sends backup struggled in
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: relief of Olmarks. Olmark remains on indefinite leave and says
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: it's been and still is a journey. There's lots of
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: things going on, but the person I am today, in
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: the things I have learned the last couple of weeks,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: has been invaluable to me, not just as a hockey player,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: but as a person, as a father and a husband.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: He reiterated that his absence is due to mental health
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: and these issues have happened since he.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Was traded to Ottawa in June of twenty twenty four.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Jada, you've talking about anxiety you have when you played hockey,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: stress pressures. People don't realize this has just been a
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: bizarre story. This guy's getting over eight million dollars a year.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: They're expecting to be a rock there, a net that
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: made the playoffs last year.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: He leaves the team. You get the sensor not thrilled
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Rumors come out of infidelity, riding on teammates, et cetera.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: They got to put up this stay. But now he
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: comes out and says this, what do you make of this?
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: All of it, all of this drama. Yeah, I mean
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: powerful words by him. You know, he references, you know,
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: and you know you want to listen to somebody speak
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: like that to hear but you know, when you hear
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: him speak, you're kind of like, okay, this is this.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: I can only imagine everything that came out just compounded
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: his feelings. But you know, again, it's explaining anxiety to people.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Is like people think that, oh, once you make the
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: NHL and you're making money, that that anxiety goes away. No,
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: it only compounds and gets more and more and more.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: Because it's not necessarily that you know, the pressure you're
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: putting on yourself. But it's a negative thought pattern that
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: just keeps looping and you don't figure out a way
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: to kind of break that habit. It's a neurological connection,
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: so it's like you end up connecting any kind of
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: feeling of dread to this anxiety, and it just keeps
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: going in circles and circles and circles, and the circle
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: gets bigger until you know, he references it's a cup
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: that just keeps it gets overflowed with water and it's
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: too full and then it starts spilling over. So that's
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: kind of what happened to him. I've played with some
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: goalies too that that have It's a tough position as well,
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: pressure wise. When you think about it, like the game
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: hinges on you making a save, so even if you
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: make a turnover as a defenseman, the goalie can bail
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: you out. But if a goalie makes a mistakes, it's
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: in the back of his net. So you know, a
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: lot of goalies you see are a lot more in
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: you know, insular and they're they're they're not really outspoken
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: because you know, you got to be you got to
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: be rock solid in your brain. And I played with
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: some some goalies it had panic attacks before games in
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: myinancial career, and it's it's it's not fun. I've had
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: a couple of them, not before games, but some stuff
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: close and I just think it's it's important to talk
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: about it. And I think it's important to kind of,
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: you know, not again when it's always I advocate for
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: if you're feeling something, say something and go speak to
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: some of you have somebody can be an outlet for you.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: So I think it was it was powerful what he said,
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: and and I like the interview, and I like the
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: vulnerability and and you know, I think it's becoming more
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: of a it's more of something that people are willing
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: to speak about because again, I think we're all we
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: all have it. It's not like we're some people don't
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: maybe at all, but we all have some semblance of it.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Whether it be small or big. It's just a human experience.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: It really is that. So not thinking you're not alone,
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: I think is the most important thing. So it's good
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: for him to kind of get out there and speak.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: And yeah, hopefully he figures out a way to kind
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: of keep it at Bay. And you saw the the
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Ottawa Centers guys really kind of come out into support.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: So I hope he's got a good support system, but yeah,
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: it's tough. He's going to really to kind of sit
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: with himself and figure out ways to find tricks and
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: tips and tools to knock this back otherwise. And it
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: kind of goes with the way he plays. He's very streaky.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: When he's confident, he's one of the best goalies in
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: the league. But when he's not, he struggles mightily. So
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: I think it's just that all ties in with hist
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: his mental fortitude. So it's just gonna be something he's
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: gonna have to work on.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, at the very least, he's you know, trying to
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: work on himself, get the help he deserves, the needs.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: And like you said in the past that people might
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: roll the rise, I think most people now are going
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: to be clearly on his side. And once he does
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: come back to Kayden Tyler Center and you'll see a
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: huge ovation people trying to support him and.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: It get him back in that net. All right.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: That story when it comes to Lena's omark other hockey matters,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: we come back.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: You're gonna love this interview, Corey Wong.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: That's right, Walk, He's got a lot of great stories
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: entertaining guy loves the Pucks. It's music and hockey converging.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: After this on NHL inscripted, Our next guest is an
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: acclaimed guitar as songwriter, bandleader, and producer known for his

  Speaker 1: at the Tucson Jazz Festival this weekend and is on
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: tour through March. In April, it was also raised in Minnesota,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: the state of Hockey. Where were talking it is Corey
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Won Corey. Great to see you man, Thanks for shaking
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: us some time.
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: Good to see you too, bro. It's nice to be here.
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: Thanks for having me.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: You also have a new album coming out called Lost
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: in the Wonder and singles Blame It on the Moon
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: and Tongue Tied.
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: Tell us about the album, new album coming out. You
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: know a lot of people know me as a guitar player,
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: which you know, go figure for those of you that
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: can't see, I've got a load of guitars that the
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: guys were gushing over behind me here at my home studio.
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: A lot of people know me as a guitar player,
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: as they should, I guess, because you know, that's what
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: I tell Uncle Sam that I do. I'm a guitar player.
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: That's what I put on my taxes. But with this album,
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: you know, I wanted to, you know, explore and express
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: a different part of my artistry, and a lot of
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: that was in my songwriting and producing and arranging band leading.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: So this album has a lot of vocal features and
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: just stuff that I co wrote with a bunch of collaborators.
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: So very exciting, fun stuff coming here.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, Corey, it's so fun to have you here.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, you come from a Minnesota music scene that
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: also gave us Prince Bob, Dylan, Morris, Day in the Time,
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: the Replacements, Jimmy jam Terry Lewis, and Minnesota. Do you
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: consider that kind of one of the more underrated musical
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: meccas in America?
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: I do. I think the people that have come here
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: and that know, they get it. I think one of
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: the things that's interesting about the Minneapolis music scene is
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: that it's not a traditional industry town quote unquote like
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: La Nashville, New York, London, whatever, But it's such a
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: rich and vibrant arts scene. So because we're not an
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: industry town. A lot of folks that play music here
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: or or do their art, they don't think as globally,
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: and yeah, that's it historically. I think it's a little
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: different now in the modern age of the Internet. But
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: the benefit of that is that we just focus on
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: the art and we focus on the music side of it.
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: And a lot of people are also like, dude, how
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: is there so many good musicians in Minnesota. It's like, well,
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: have you been to Minnesota January through March.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: It's like a lot of blues there. Blues.
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, It's like, I guess what I want to get
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: out on the outdoor rink today, But it's like negative
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: ten or something. So it's like a lot of people,
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: especially the people that aren't into winter sports, it's like,
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: I don't know, what are we gonna do? Come over,
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: let's play some guitar. I don't know, let's bring your bass.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: So there's a lot of indoor activity the and pre internet,
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: you know, it was one of those things where, well,
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: a bunch of kids just hanging out. Even even with
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: the Internet, you know, it's kids hanging out playing music together.
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: It's something to do.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: Now, it's a good point.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: That's where sometimes great collaborations come from. Your work with
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Wolfpack has earned you plenty of attention. Where did that
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: first start?
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: Corey Well Wolfbeck started as Jack Stratton's college project. He
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: went to school at U of M. The other U
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: of them, I'm a U of M. University of Minnesota. Guy,
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: he's it's a U of M band. Right, it's University
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: of Michigan and University of Minnesota here whatever, but we
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: could say it's a U of M band. But it
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: was his his project at Michigan. He was going to
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: school for recording arts and you know, all that engineering,
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: and he basically started a YouTube channel, recorded a handful
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: of songs for a project, and then a year later
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: did it again. And then eventually people are catching on like,
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: oh this is cool. Well, you know, what's the deal
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: with your band. He's like, it's not a band. It's
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: like just a YouTube channel. I just like make music.
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: It's like no, no, no, guys like you're band. So then
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: eventually it's like, I gotta, you know, make this thing
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: a band. And then we started playing live ten years ago,
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: really kind of doing the thing, and then eventually it
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: grew and you know, now it's much more than just
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: a YouTube act. It's wild. You know how far we've come.
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: We just put out an album from our live show
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: at Madison Square Garden MSG two. It's our second garden
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: show and second live album from that, so it's pretty
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: pretty fun. I mean that buffet's been a wild ride.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: It's a fun collective of musicians. It's one of those
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: things where it's friends first, band second. So it's it's
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: great nice.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, I wanted to add you mentioned kind of
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: social media twice, Like for you, how has technology kind
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: of shaped, you know, in terms of social media, the
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: way you go about producing, releasing music and and just
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: how you promote it.
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: I mean it's everything for us now. Sorry, my camera
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: goes berserk.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Here, there's no video elment. Your audio is great, all.
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: Right, all right, good? You know, social media is like
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: everything for us now because it's how we let people
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: know what's going on. You don't need to have the
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: the street team of people in every city plastering posters
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: and whatnot. You don't have to go through the the
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: channels of major labels and all that sort of thing.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: So for an indie artist like myself and with both
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: tech and fearless flyers. We're able to do such big
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: things and maintain independent basically because of social media, like
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: we can we can let people know what we're doing,
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: we can invite people in on parts of our lives
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: and parts of the process, and I think a lot
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: of people embrace that. Some people it's not their thing. Fine,
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: some people still find success in it, but for so
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: many independent artists it's such a big thing. And the
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: other side of that is, you know, maybe people feel
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: obligated to do certain things. I certainly do sometimes like
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: oh I probably should do this, yeah, And my manager
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: will even tell me, like, dude, you should be doing
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: this thing on TikTok. I'm like, nah, I don't want to.
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: That doesn't feel fun to me. So the parts of
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: social media that I do are the things that feel fun,
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: you know. I like to keep it authentic and actually
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: me I think. I think fans nowadays are smart enough
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: to know like, oh, yeah, you're just like trying to
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: do that trend.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: I know, if you're being a douchebag now or.
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: Not well yeah yeah, or if you're just trying too
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: hard you know, which sometimes we do.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: It happens all but you're write sometimes you don't want
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: to do it me. You feel like it's a devil
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: you have to feed. Let's talk a little bit of hockey.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: You've been able to compete right wild celebrity hockey games,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: favorite player to skate with, who's had a nice interaction.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: You've been able to enjoy.
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: I met Mike Madonna when I was seven years old. Wow,
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: Ford dealership. My dad brought me. I don't know what
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: was going on. There's like something on a Friday afternoon

• 39:13
  Speaker 5: I'm like yes, She's like even better. Madonna is hanging
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: out at a Ford dealership, signing autographs, doing a meet
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: and greet. And you know, this is when the Norse
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: Stars were playing in Minnesota before they moved in ninety
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: three to ninety four whatever that was right after. This
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: was right after their Stanley Cup run against the Penguins. Yeah,
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: bummer of a turnout there. We went to a handful
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: of the Stanley Cup final games. It was incredible. Madonna
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: was just hanging out and it was my dad, my
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: brother and I and like two sales guys like why
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: is nobody here? So I choked. I just choked. I'm like,
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: I don't know what to say to this guy. I'm
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: a little kid. This is my hero. My dad's like,
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: I don't know, just like ask him some tips about hockey,
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: and you know, he just gave some some generic answers.
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: But he was a nice guy, a nervous couple of
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: kids hanging. So skating with Madonna at at Yeah a
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: couple of years ago was pretty fun playing having him
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: at center and just telling me like, hey, just like,
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: stay in your position, do this, do this. I'm like, bro,

• 40:19
  Speaker 5: Like I I can't hang just like you guys do.
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna stay over on the side here.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: It was great. Madonna was fun to skate with.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Awesome.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: Is that well? I mean you're you lived out kind
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: of majority of hockey fans dreams and and you know
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: you got to launch the Minnesota Whild the alumni association
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: with Oar, who's a great band as well. How did
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: that kind of come together? And was that kind of
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: one of the highlights or what's the highlights been so
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: far for you with the Wild alumni?
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was just such a fun event to be
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: a part of. And I didn't know. I didn't plan
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: on this happening. I I was trying to find like
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: talking about social media. I was trying to find fun
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: ways for my band to do just performances, and like, oh,
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: what's something cool we can do. What's a challenge? So
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: I put on this thing called Wong on Ice where
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: we went to the nice Charles Schultz Arena, Yes, the
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: Peanuts guy, this arena in Highland Park in Saint Paul.
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: That we went there and I brought my whole band
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: set up. I had to go like, I couldn't find
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: any school or any organization to help me get pads
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: and like gear for my band, so I just hoking.
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: I went to Pure Hockey and I was just like,
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: I need twelve sets of breezers. I need a bunch
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: of pads and helmets, you know. So they're sitting in
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: my story still. But I had custom jerseys made. We
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: did this whole thing where my band played on the
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: ice rink, and then the guys from OAR, who are
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: good friends of Min, were like, dude, I didn't know
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: you were a hockey guy. I'm super into this. I'm
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: actually good friends with this guy that works at the
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: Wild are you a Wild fan of like, are you
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: kidding me? So we all connected and then they were
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: talking about launching the Wild Alumni Association, and then we figured,
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: let's let's do a big concert, let's do a big fundraiser,
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: let's do a fun game, and that's it. Dude, it was.
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: It happened, you know. We we started talking in the fall,
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: and then it happened the next summer. So it was great.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: Well, how hard was it to play instruments in hockey year?
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: Good question.
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: For a lot of the guys, it was tough because
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: six out of the ten band members had just basically
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: never been on skates.
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: Oh no.
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: But for those of us that grew up in Minnesota
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: that are in my band, just like, yeah, this is
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: what you do. This is like you do that in
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: gym class, you know. So for those of us that
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: were that were familiar with skating and playing hockey, it
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: was so much fun. I made my drummer wear skates
• 42:53
  Speaker 5: playing on the drums. It's one guy, Sonny t who
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: plays Basement Band, who was also in Prince's band and
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: fun fact, was Prince's guitar teacher. Wow on he's og,
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: he's an O. He was like I'm not getting on
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: those skates, dude. He's like, I can't fall. I'm too
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: old for this. I'm like, all right, let's park the
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: zamboni behind us. You just get up. We can't. We
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: like ushered him on the ice, got him up on
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: the zamboni. He's sitting on the zamboni behind and I
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: was playing bass. It was great.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: Oh that's awesome, man, that's definitely great memories.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: And Prince's guitar teacher that.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: It's like learning from Dylan singing coach. I'm like, okay, well,
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: let's get clean us what they're doing. I want to.
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: I don't know, maybe that's a little different. I mean,
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: I love Dylan songwriting, but it's a little different. All
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: all respect to Dylan, but the technical facility and the
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: the control of the instrument as far as Prince's guitar playing,
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: might be in a different league, but different, all all
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: respect to Dylan.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: No, you're right, while I'm in a huge statement this year,
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Corey by acquiring Quinn Hughes. Your thoughts on the team
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: right now, I mean, it's a fac The division is
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: so tough, but Hughes is such an electric player. I
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: was just at the game in Toronto and saw the
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: Wild win sixty three.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: This is a team right now. They're missing pieces.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Matt bould Is out, Joel ericson X out, but they're
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: obviously thrilled with Croll the thrilled obviously Quinn Hughes now
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: in the mix.
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it's insane. It's so much fun to watch.
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: It's fun to be a fan. When the trade first happened,
• 44:25
  Speaker 5: the hometown vibe was a little bit like, I don't know, dude,
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: like what we love Booyam, Like, oh, it's like so
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: much fun. Buoyam was so fun. There was this young
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: energy ROSSI uh was a bit of a fan favorite
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: for a lot of people. Seemed like just kind of
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: Midwest quiet guys to kind of fit in in Minnesota.
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: Liam Ogrin somebody who was likable. Yeah, surey wasn't producing
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: as much, but I liked the guy, and it's fun
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: to see him actually doing a lot, doing more numbers
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: in Vancouver. But a lot of people were uncertain at first,
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: and then it's like, wait a minute, guys, this is
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: Quinn Hughes. This is a cat dude, And now everybody
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: is just so stoked. It's really fun to see it's
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: fun to see the team fire and fire and fired
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: up about everything, the fan base fired up. Like you said,
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: it's tough right now, not just Ek and Boldie, but
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: having Brodeine out sucks. Having Bogosian out has has not
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: been awesome. But I think it's it's fun to see
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: some of the other Cats step up and kind of
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: see some minutes on the ice and you know, we're
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: we're really excited here. You know, there's obviously a lot
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: of talk about other moves that could be made for
• 45:38
  Speaker 5: the team, which are exciting, but also again one of
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: those things that we're nervous, like, yeah, but what are
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: we gonna have to move? What are we gonna have
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: to to do?
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: Gott to push your chips in sometimes.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: One thing about Billy Karen's he's ippressive.
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, gotta go for it sometimes. Yeah.
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: So everybody here is is like, let's just get rid
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: of all our picks for the next however long. We
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: don't want to see anybody go. It's like, yeah, picks
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: and prospects or what everybody wants wants to give up,
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: but we'll see what happens. It's exciting.
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: Well what do you make of you know, there's a
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: little bit of a You know, Minnesota's been the state
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: of hockey for so long, and now Florida's kind of
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: usurping the throne with six finals in the last six years.
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on Florida becoming the state of
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: hockey and and is that just a little bit disrespectful
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: to your hometown home state.
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: Can somebody pull the numbers on youth hockey participation in
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: Florida Minnesota? Can somebody pull the numbers on the Florida
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: State Hockey tournament versus Minnesota? Can anybody let's let's pull
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: the numbers on Why don't you find every average mom
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: from the age thirty to fifty and test their knowledge
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: on hockey. You go to a Minnesota Wild game, there
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: is a forty seven year old woman who knows more
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: about hockey than ninety nine percent of anybody in Florida.
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: You know these are if you're gonna come at people
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: with fighting words, I'm just gonna pull the stats. I'm
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: just gonna pull the numbers. I I I hate to
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: talk too bad on Florida because two of the other
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: guys in Wolfpeck are huge Panthers fans. Jacob je He
• 47:27
  Speaker 5: grew up in Fort Lauderdale, has been a Panthers guy
• 47:30
  Speaker 5: through thick and thin, through thin and now thick. I
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: guess yeah, A.
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: How's that rivalry?
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: It's it's it's fun. Like it's when the when the
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: Panthers came to town last year, I invited the guys out.
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: They came and stayed them out. We all will sleep
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: over little NHL xbox hanged for a couple of nights
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: and went to the went to the game, had a
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: good time. You know, we we respect each other's teams,
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: and you know, I get that there. They're Panthers guys
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: and it's fun. I'm not I'm not going to fight
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: them on it. But if you're gonna say Florida is
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: a hockey state versus Minnesota, you know that's so's again,
• 48:14
  Speaker 5: let's pull the numbers.
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: Okay, I love the he came with receipts.
• 48:20
  Speaker 5: Well, okay, here here, here's here's the other step. How
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: many how many NHL ers grew up in Florida versus
• 48:26
  Speaker 5: how many NHLers grew up in Minnesota?
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: How many people go to a high school specifically to
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: train their hockey skills in Florida versus shatt a Saint
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: Mary and you know, and it's a little shot.
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: I like, yeah, I like you. I'm from Montreal, so
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: I listen. I I get it when I hear the
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: Florida stuff. I scoff.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: It's like high schooling years.
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: And your you're nice one piece sticks to Florida and
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: start talking about how you don't know how to grind
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: on the outdoor hockey rink.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: Ten Well, the World Juniors just happened, and people were
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: upset because they said, well, the attendance wasn't great in Minnesota,
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: Saint Paul and I said, listen, they care more about
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: high school hockey.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: They care more about the Gophers. Corey.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: I remember for years some of the north Stars would
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: be upset. They said they care more about golfers, and
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: they do about the north Stars. That great scene in Fargo,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: well watching their weight Golphers, true or false? They care
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: more about the Golphers than the wild winning a cup.
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: I mean that that was probably true, yes, until I
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: think recent. I mean, the Gophers are so much fun
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: to see. Mary Ucci is a great arena, fun place
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: to watch a game. The Juniors thing that was weird,
• 49:43
  Speaker 5: and I do feel like the marketing wasn't as prominent
• 49:47
  Speaker 5: here in Minnesota. Just boots on the ground. It didn't
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: feel like there was as much buzz being built around it. Okay,
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: I go to the majority of the wild Home Games.
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: I didn't see a bunch of marketing at those games.
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: I didn't see much marketing at the Frost Games. It's
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: just like, didn't feel like there was a lot of
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: push within the community. It's like, oh, of course everybody
• 50:11
  Speaker 5: knows this is happening, so we don't need to let
• 50:14
  Speaker 5: people know about it as much. I mean, I went
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: the one day the Stanley Cup was at the River Center,
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: which is where the big event was happening next to
• 50:23
  Speaker 5: Grand Casino Arena formerly Excel Energy Center. Stanley Cup was
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: there at ten thirty am. We open, so I was like,
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: oh my gosh, we got to get there early. Everybody's
• 50:34
  Speaker 5: gonna be there. My kids want to see the cup,
• 50:36
  Speaker 5: you know, I want to shake hands with Phil. We
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: get there at ten twenty, there's not a single person
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: in line. We get at ten thirty. We're just hanging
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: out with the cup for like thirty minutes with nobody
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: else there. My kids playing you know, target practice on
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: the We had the play store. It's like we rented
• 50:55
  Speaker 5: it out. It was insane.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: Well, how does nobody know about this marketing?
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta get them on social media there, And Corey,
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: I wanted to ask you because I always like asking, Like,
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: you know, my wife's an actress, and I like asking
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: artists as well of like you know, traveling and performing
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: in front of thousands of fans and stuff like that,
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: Like musicians and hockey players, Like there's there are parallels
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: and it's not that different. Like if you ever kind
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: of exchange road stories with some of the players in
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: the alumni and are there any kind of road stories
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: that stick out to you that that you kind of
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: felt like, Oh, I'm kind of borderline a hockey player
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: Well, sometimes it's mid tour, like you know, you take
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: a look at a hockey team that's on a road trip.
• 51:42
  Speaker 5: Wild just did an extended road trip, which, by the way,
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: was fine. I went down to California. It was over
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: my kid's break, so he went to the Anaheim game
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: and the two Kings games. It was a great opportunity
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: for a Minnesota and to go see a couple arenas
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: and it was just at the perfect time of year.
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: But you take a look at a team that's on
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: a road trip. You just gotta keep going. You go,
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: wake up, go from this place to the next ye
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: and people are expecting you to perform. You are expecting
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: that out of yourself and everybody else up there when
• 52:14
  Speaker 5: an artist is on tour. When I'm on tour and
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: it's show seventeen of a thirty show run, like, guess what.
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: These people paid just as much for tickets as the
• 52:25
  Speaker 5: folks on show one and Show thirty. We need to
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: give them the best show that we can. I have
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: to give myself the respect and the band the respect
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: to give it my all, to give it everything, no
• 52:36
  Speaker 5: matter how tired I am, no matter how I slept
• 52:40

  Speaker 5: have a bad gig. And I think anybody that does
• 52:53
  Speaker 5: that sort of thing where there's expectations tied to your
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: performance night after night, yeah, there's somewhat of a kindred
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: spirit in that.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: Well, you over delivered this time. Corey Wong once again

• 53:38
  Speaker 2: battle after another. Marty Supreme.
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, I saw Marty Supreme.
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: You did? Okay, yeah, stip on sixty go ahead, but
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: did you did? You didn't?
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: You already did? Barty, I did.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: But I want to hear your thoughts on it now.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: I've seen it twice. I thought it was great, that
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: really good.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: Supported I see all the script from Arty Supreme that.
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: I thought it was a little you know again, I
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: always think, you know, movies nowadays are too long. That's fair.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: Two twenty five is a little long, and it's like
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: we it just it and you know it's funny. I
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: think like Safty has that blueprint with like I thought,
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: but again he just he tweaked the ending, like I
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: thought this was another uncut Gems or he's got to
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: struggle through all this ship and then gets to the
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: final heat elation and then he dies or something doesn't
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: work and it does. It's not a benefit, but it was.
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: It was a very nice ending, very sweet how how
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: they kind of came full circle. And he's great in it.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: Give shell me the Oscar.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: Fantastic performance, just playing a very unlikable protagonist, obnoxious but hysterical.
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought he was. I thought he's so sharp
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: and witty in it. It's so funny, just in dry.
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: He's great, just great.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: When his uncle tries to have him morest he says
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: the copicause how much is he paying you? I'll double
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: it and then you can suck my dick Like that's
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: like some of these witticisms, and the ping punk scene
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: is obviously well done. And like tal had mentioned before,
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: just the the non professional actors, like Leary's unbelievable playing
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: Gwyneth Paltrow's husband like he's the.
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: Old only one. I thought that was. I thought he
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: was well listen for no acting experience. I thought he
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: was okay. It was good if you didn't think.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: I thought he was especially Shalom. Yeah, the paddle, because
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: what are you willing to do? Yeah, well, kind of
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: playing himself.
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: I will just know that it's Yeah, there's a major
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: shark tank energy in the performance.
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but did shal May mind to get paddled when
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: he was just giving it to Gwyneth the whole movie?
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: How about the.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: Fact that they get stopped the park by one wasn't
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: they're making it was going down on her. He gets
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: stopped potentially eating out a girl. And that's when the
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: cop flashes the lighting. Oh my god, what it's fun
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: to be in.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: Take this watch, take this chain, Take whatever you want. Well.
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: I love how they showed the corruption of the police
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: force back in the fifties because both cops that got
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: shown in the movie were you. They were getting bribed,
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: one was getting paid money, the other one took the
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: diamond necklace.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: It's a good point.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: It's actually indictment of police corruption. That's really what Marty
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: Souprate was all about. People don't realize that in the moment.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: Safti's but as you said, he's.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: A good brother. Now we know we know who the
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: talented brother is.
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: Now that fucking guy really likes like that dog.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: Well, that dog able for our unbelievable. I'm like, whatever
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: I'll do for the dog.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: I don't care.
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: I mean that shot when the guy's face gets blown off, unbelievable.
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: When they go back, okay, they only see anything in there.
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: I looked at Jill right when he was knocking on
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: the glass and said, he gowned. Yeah, he's getting his
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: head blown off, but an exhilarating thrill.
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: Right, I'm glad you enjoyed it. He's a great movie, fantastic.
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: What I want to talk about, though, is I'm Chevy
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: Chase and You're not. New documentary came out of scene
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: and directed by Marina Zenovich. In depth words, it all
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: look at the complex life and career of Chevy Chase
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: ninety seven minutes.
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: It actually premiered on New Year's Date.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: It's now available on streaming platforms including Max and I
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: thought it was highly entertaining and very enjoyable.
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: This is a guy who has been very controversial.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: Now back to the day who didn't love Chevy Chase right,
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: European vacation Fletch, Fletch lives, et cetera. But he's kind
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: of persona grata within the acting community, and it has
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: been for a long time. And when I read the
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: S and L book, I saw part of the reason why.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: And they tell the story of the book. Jim Miller,
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: fabulous writer James Andrew Miller, course legendary writer, wrote a
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: book about not only S.
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: And L but also ESPN, et cetera.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: But Jim tells the story not only in the book
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: but also in the documentary. They said, you know, Chevy
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: Chase was the kind of guy it's just no filter.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: Whatever he says, he's gonna just gonna say it and
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: defend people. For example, when he met one of the
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: cast members who was gay, Chevy Chase up to He's like, oh,
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: you're you're the gay cast member, right, He's okay, He's like, okay,
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: he's the guy said to anything you need help, He's yeah,
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: you can start by licking my balls. And like it's
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: a kind of reaction where that's common. I sactly, some
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: guys will laugh, like he's a comedian. Some guys are
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: gonna be offended. Later on, they had an idea, you know,
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: pitch meeting, et cetera. And they listen, you know this,
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: they pitch one hundred ideas, how.
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: Many sketches actually make it. But one of the chimp chans goes, waybite,
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: we should do this sketch.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: We should do one with a gay actor, because that
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: guy goes, yeah, he goes We'll pretend he has aides
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: and we'll just keep showing how much he weighs, like
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: in each successive second. Everyone's like, uh, that is either funny,
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: nor entertaining nor practically called for it, and like, but
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: this is Chevy Chase.
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: He's just gonna speak his mind. Who is you know
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: what I mean?
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: And so it becomes this conversation between Okay, what's acceptable
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: in terms of comedy and then what's acceptable just in life,
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: Like how often can you say, well, it's just Chevy
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: be and Chevy like.
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: No, you're just being an asshole.
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: And eventually it gets the whole situation with community and
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: the guy who runs can be a chay changer saker.
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: He's like, listen, dude, I love Chevy Chase.
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: He's like, I adore these guys, like I love the movies,
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: but like he's a paan in the assid deal. He's difficult,
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: but we'd go at it. He'd yell at me. I
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: yell at him, we do the take.
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: It was fine.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: Eventually he loses the job because apparently he said the
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: N word, And in part of his defense, he said,
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: Richard Pryor and I were buddies on SNL, Like if
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: that famous sketch right, he calls what honkey drops the nward,
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: et cetera. He goes like, I would call him the emword.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: He'd say this stuff to me, and they're like, yeah,
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: but Chevy, you just you can't use this.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: Kind of language and therefore's gonna cost you a job.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: But what I found the documentary was fascinating was Chevy
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: Chase is not apologetic for any of this stuff. Now,
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: it'd be one thing if the documentaryud go you know
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: what I mean? He's like, no, because this is why
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: the funniest lending thought that he is. She goes, what
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: do you think of the perception you're not particularly well liked.
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: He goes, oh, I have lots of friends and they
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: all like me, and the people who don't like me
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: fuck them.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: It was so funy the way he said it, like.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: He's an eighty year old man who's like no, Like
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: I've got lots of money, I've got friends, I lived
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: my life and if you don't like me, fuck you.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Dan ackro is my friend, Lord Michael's my friend, Martin Schorlick.
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: He's still got his buddies.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: He's definitely an interesting guy, but at times they call
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: him cruel. But as you and I both said before,
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: me said this with I believe Alex Moffatt JD mean
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: an ext the point he is.
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: All comedians they got a little mean streak in them.
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: I'm like one hundred percent.
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: So of the funniest people I know, they're pretty mean
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: and they can be met and there's this sense of
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: cruelty and they come from that aspect. So Chevy Chase,
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: to me, is just more open about it. Where's other
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: guys more concealing your thoughts.
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: Well, I think that's a perfect way to cap it off.
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: It's like that is that is comedy right as you're
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: blurring that line of like being a douchebag like cause
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: you have to kind of for certain types of comedians,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: you have to go to that place and you have
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: to think of the worst possible I don't know which
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: comedians said, but you got to think of the worst
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: possible tragedy and then try to make it funny, and
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: it's like they're able to find levity in situations that
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: you don't think need it require it, And I mean
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: that's kind of the pist. So it's like it's interesting singing.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: I'm sure he is a douchebag, but if you like douchebags,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: then he's for you. But I'm sure he's like again,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: he's he's authentic. Maybe he plays into it a little bit,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: but he's been polarizing for years.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to hang with him, like I person
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: wouldn't like No, I'd be like, hey, you're good.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: I think he's funny as hell, Like I.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing of like there's people you're just like,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: you're funny, But I would not want to hang out
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: with you.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: No Variety, by the way, described the movie a fascinating
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: look at his flip side of his genius and his
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: casual cruelty.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: The hollyod Reporter.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: Called it a gripping, funny and stifled, at times melancholic look.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: At the age year old comedian.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: Great stuff from his wife, his daughters of course, who
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: love him support him. That I thought that that's what
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: was interesting thing. You know what we don't crap in
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: our dat at the time. He's off for everybody's our dad.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: He's been a great dat, etcetera. Tell your thoughts on
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: Chevy Chase.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 4: He's certainly developed a reputation, you know, over the past
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: several years. Mark Mark Marin has mentioned a story several
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 4: times about appearing at a Chevy Chase roast and how
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 4: it was basically the worst moment of his professional career.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 4: And he claimed that that like none of his friends
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 4: showed up, Like there were no friends. It was just
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 4: kind of former colleagues who are jumping at the opportunity
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 4: to to roast Chevy Chase.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: You know, I think he might not have any friends.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: He might just you know, it's people that he says
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: are his friends, and maybe he's just putting on this facade.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: Who knows.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: I think he's due a career retrospect.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 4: I mean, this guy was legitimately one of the biggest
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 4: stars in the world at some point, and his persona
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 4: was kind of as like a jerk. That was his
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 4: stage persona. Right, So it tracks. I guess I'll definitely
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 4: check it out. Looks like a fascinating film.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's a good documentary, did a great doc and
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: Robert Williams coming sub and Mind. Also Doc and Lancer
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: Shrunk Soritovich is a very good documentary.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: And definitely check it out. All right. The other topics
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: for you.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: Rick Bonus after hiring Columbus won three strip for Tuesday Night.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: Bones is back a bag of bones, a seven year
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: old coaching life. I mean, this is unbeill what he's
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: doing right now. Bonus actually coached the dads of three
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: of his current players, Mason Marchmont, cole Cylinger, and Miles Wood.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: I love it. Let's go Columbus, Jady. This is great
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: news for Bones.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well they dropped the last one yesterday, but.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, uh yeah.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: I think listen, Bones, he's very honest with his players.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: I don't know how many players have said a bad
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: thing about him, So I think it's great to me.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 3: How about that TNT. Everybody that's on the panel, a
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: teen t gets a coaching job.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Rick Tocket, Rick Bonus, Ye, Bubey Breuve, Yeah, soon
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: to be be Sinnet.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: The way they're doing it should be well yeah at
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: this point, uh yeah, good bump for them. I think,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: you know, it's more more of a indication that like
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: management and ownership, are like, no, we're not tanking the season,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: like we're trying to win, like we're trying to make
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: the playoffs. So I think it's like kind of a
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: move that signifies that, and the players responded for the
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: first three games that that standard coaches bump. If it
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: holds on time will tell I just don't they need
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: they need? They need a lot exactly.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: It's a nice.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: Story, but it's not it's not sustainable. Meantime, Congrats to

  Speaker 1: Tal would look at some of his best writing, best editing.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.

  Speaker 3: Yeah, And that deflected so quickly. It made me think
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 3: that I am watches and stuff. Yeah, I don't have
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 3: anything with no shoes on, rubbing your feet together with
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: the socks and you rubbing the toes together.

• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: feet together, no watch and just crinkling your toes.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: I sadly don't. I don't have a foot feighter. So
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: that's the good news. Last we do want to say,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: and this will be an awkward segue, but to they want
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: to jam it in here. Congrats to Kim Weiss, promoted
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: to assistant coach by the Colorado Avalanches, American Hockey League
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: affiliate the Colorado Eagles.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: Let's Go Eagles. Wis look at full time.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: Assistant coach in HL history after Jessica Campbell, who's assistant
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: with the Coachella Valley Firebirds. Before making history in twenty
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: twenty four when she got more with the Seattle crack
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: and coaching staff.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: What do you think, JD. Do you see more female
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: coaches perhaps than HL.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: If you're good enough, you should make it. And if
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 3: you're good enough you apply and the job's right, I
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: think you should make it. I think it's as simple
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: as that, more or less. I never think anything is
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: more or less, like, hey, there should be more. I'm like,
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: if I'm a firm believer that there should be an opportunity,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: an equal opportunity. If you apply and you are the
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: best candidate for the job, then you get said job.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: That's just And I never say anything. I think Jessica
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: Campbell's been great in Seattle, so she earned that, and
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: I think Kim Weiss has earned that. And I just
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 3: think it's like I think there needs to be more
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: of it. Yeah, if there's more of it, great, But
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 3: I think as many as are lying they're right for
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: the job and they get it, I think they should
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: not be discounted just because the fact that they're a
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: woman or anything of that nature, and you get it.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: It's just as simple as that. It's pretty black and
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: white for me, with all that I.
