SPEAKER_01: Hello and welcome to a very busy edition of Pittsburgh Sports Memories Current Events.
0:05
SPEAKER_01: I'm your co-host, Steve Wirt, and I'm joined by Hi everybody.
0:08
SPEAKER_00: I'm Tim Hannon.
0:09
SPEAKER_01: So this is the uh time we take uh set aside for current events.
0:14
SPEAKER_01: Um the Pirates, uh let's see, they are 16-13, they are five and five in their last ten.
0:22
SPEAKER_01: Hey, they almost beat the Cardinals with their backups.
0:24
SPEAKER_01: They their starting pitcher, I think, was out due to like a personal reason.
0:29
SPEAKER_01: And so um that was pretty impressive, but they did give up like their closer did give up a blow a save, which happens.
0:37
SPEAKER_01: It really kind of sucks because the Pirates really probably should have scored like another run or two.
0:42
SPEAKER_01: But I mean, all in all, you can't complain with their start.
0:45
SPEAKER_01: Um, Paul Skeens, man, he took a perfect game into the seventh inning against the uh Brewers.
0:51
SPEAKER_01: That was, I mean, a perfect game, Tim.
0:53
SPEAKER_01: Not a no-hitter, a perfect game.
0:55
SPEAKER_01: No walks, no hits, no errors.
0:58
SPEAKER_01: You know, it was it was pretty awesome.
1:00
SPEAKER_01: Um, and the scariest part, Tim, here's the scariest part.
1:04
SPEAKER_01: You want to know this?
1:05
SPEAKER_01: The team still has room for improvement.
1:08
SPEAKER_01: They can get better.
1:08
SPEAKER_01: And I'm not just like saying, oh, if this like Ozuna's hitting like 162 right now.
1:15
SPEAKER_01: Like if he just hits like 250, 275, like they're already scoring a lot of runs, like because O'Neill Cruz is like tearing the cover off the ball.
1:24
SPEAKER_01: Now he's gotten okay in center field, and that's kind of their big like that's one of their biggest problems is they don't really have a depth in hitting outside of Cruz and who's it, Lau, and and Hearn isn't bad either.
1:39
SPEAKER_01: But like they they really don't have like a depth, and if you know Ozuna can start hitting, boy, that'll that'll really take them over the top there.
1:49
SPEAKER_01: And with their pitching, man, they I mean it's still early.
1:52
SPEAKER_01: It's April.
1:54
SPEAKER_01: They've had great Aprils before and had finished like in the basement.
1:58
SPEAKER_01: But um, so I guess I guess we kind of like we'll have to check back at the end of May and see where they are.
2:05
SPEAKER_00: So so a couple of things.
2:07
SPEAKER_00: Like you said, Ozuna could be doing better.
2:10
SPEAKER_00: Griffin's still, I think, finding his way.
2:12
SPEAKER_01: He's kind of you know, he's been gonna he's not gonna have.
2:17
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I can't see him having like being a major contributor.
2:20
SPEAKER_01: I think he'll be okay, but I think and eventually he'll be really good.
2:24
SPEAKER_01: But just I think this season, if you're expecting him to hit like 300 and have a hundred RBIs, then you're probably asking a lot from him.
2:32
SPEAKER_00: Right, but he could still improve over the course of the season.
2:35
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
2:36
SPEAKER_01: Anything he contributes is a bonus at this point.
2:38
SPEAKER_00: When when's when's Jared Jones coming back?
2:40
SPEAKER_00: Because that's another thing.
2:41
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I don't know, but it's coming soon, so there's another pitcher they're gonna have.
2:46
SPEAKER_00: Right.
2:46
SPEAKER_00: So so you're right, there is room for improvement.
2:48
SPEAKER_00: There's certainly room to fall off, too.
2:50
SPEAKER_00: I one thing that I thought of, Steve, I just got done reading uh a book about that was largely about the 70s, 70s pirates.
2:58
SPEAKER_00: And there was a lot of those seasons where they won a division, including the 79 season, where they were like in third place in June, you know?
3:07
SPEAKER_01: Right.
3:08
SPEAKER_00: So so, like you said, it is a long season.
3:11
SPEAKER_01: It's uh and they've been at the hot starts before and kind of fallen off.
3:14
SPEAKER_01: Like it really, really they call it the June swoon.
3:17
SPEAKER_01: Like you really see separate the men from the boys in June.
3:21
SPEAKER_01: That's really when the teams start to even the Tigers, I think last year, like June and July, they weren't they're kind of floundering and then they had a hot August and got into the playoffs.
3:31
SPEAKER_01: So we'll see, like I said, we'll see.
3:34
SPEAKER_01: If they're if they're like still you know doing this good, and the division is pretty tough.
3:38
SPEAKER_01: Like, there's a lot of really good teams in this division right now, so see what happens.
3:45
SPEAKER_01: Um, the Steelers, Tim, they had a draft.
3:49
SPEAKER_01: The draft happened, and um, it was held in Pittsburgh, and uh everybody seemed to like it except for the people that were had business in the strip district, because I guess nobody left like the North Side or downtown, and um, but I I think overall it seems like it was a success, Tim, as far as like local businesses go, right?
4:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I went I went down the first night, um, and I thought it was a lot of fun.
4:14
SPEAKER_00: I mean, it was a really great atmosphere.
4:15
SPEAKER_00: People were excited to be there.
4:18
SPEAKER_00: Um, saw a ton of people from out of town, and I I realized I didn't realize till I was down there that Pittsburgh's such a great city to host this because there's like six or seven NFL cities within driving distance.
4:29
SPEAKER_00: So I saw people in Buffalo jerseys, uh Philly, Baltimore, Washington, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit.
4:36
SPEAKER_00: Like I you saw all those jerseys walking around because those people can all drive here.
4:42
SPEAKER_01: So rather than like having it in Seattle or Yeah, or like Denver or something.
4:47
SPEAKER_00: Like get in Denver, you're gonna everybody that that's a visiting fan is probably having to purchase a plane ticket.
4:53
unknown: Yeah.
4:53
SPEAKER_00: So I think that really helped.
4:55
SPEAKER_00: I know they set the the attendance record, which again, not surprised.
4:58
SPEAKER_00: Pittsburgh's such a sports town.
5:00
SPEAKER_00: Um, but I thought I thought, you know, kudos to all the planners, all this, all the people.
5:05
SPEAKER_00: The city doesn't always do a good job with everything.
5:07
SPEAKER_00: They did a very nice job with this.
5:10
SPEAKER_01: So on to the draft, Tim.
5:13
SPEAKER_01: Um do you want to discuss whatever this Lemon guy is?
5:18
SPEAKER_01: I I guess we'll start with there.
5:20
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so so what happened?
5:22
SPEAKER_00: It I'm sure everybody's heard by now, right?
5:24
SPEAKER_00: The stewards are on the phone with this receiver, Makai Lemon from USC, I think.
5:28
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
5:29
SPEAKER_00: And and you know, they they basically because the Dallas drafted in front of them.
5:35
SPEAKER_00: Dallas and Carolina, and Dallas and Carolina don't need receivers.
5:39
SPEAKER_00: It's Dallas, especially, because they have CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.
5:42
SPEAKER_00: So you knew Dallas isn't drafting a receiver, so you're already assuming, okay, he's gonna be our pick.
5:48
SPEAKER_00: And as we're on the phone with them, Dallas makes a trade to Philadelphia, and Philadelphia jumps up and grabs this guy away.
5:55
SPEAKER_00: And and it it the optics aren't good.
5:57
SPEAKER_00: It looks we we looked dumb because it everybody knew we were actually on the phone with them, and then they stole our pick away.
6:05
SPEAKER_00: Me personally, Steve, I wasn't too disappointed because um uh we ended up drafting the the the tackle instead, max, max, max uh honitore.
6:17
SPEAKER_00: And I think offensive tackle is way harder to find than wide receiver.
6:21
SPEAKER_00: You can get a wide receiver in the second round, which they did.
6:24
SPEAKER_00: And and this guy, Lemon, I mean, he had some there were some character question marks and things of that nature.
6:29
SPEAKER_00: I I just would rather have had the tackle, but it looked bad.
6:33
SPEAKER_01: He had a he had a bad combine workout, I read.
6:36
SPEAKER_01: So and he's had a troubled past.
6:38
SPEAKER_01: And um then they were saying that the Steelers might get investigated for tampering, for draft tampering, because I guess you're not allowed to be, and I I I can kind of see their point.
6:50
SPEAKER_01: Like, let's say like the Steelers, and I'm trying to draft you, Tim, and I so I just like keep you on the phone all day.
6:58
SPEAKER_01: Like, I don't let you hang up the phone, like, oh hi Tim.
7:01
SPEAKER_01: Do you want to talk to Mike Tallman?
7:02
SPEAKER_01: Hey, you want to talk to the trainer?
7:04
SPEAKER_01: Hey, you want to talk to the groundskeeper?
7:05
SPEAKER_01: Hey, you want to talk to my mother-in-law?
7:07
SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
7:08
SPEAKER_01: Like, so you couldn't get like you don't have call waiting or something.
7:11
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but but they don't have to say yes to being drafted.
7:14
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I don't see how that really tampers with anything.
7:17
SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
7:18
SPEAKER_00: Like so, so so they don't they could hold out like John Elway, I guess.
7:22
SPEAKER_01: Is that what you mean?
7:23
SPEAKER_00: No, I'm saying that like if they don't have to take the phone call and they could like there's call waiting, like but but if the steelers if the steelers kept me on the phone all day and you're the Eagles and you can't call me, doesn't mean the Eagles still can't draft me.
7:37
SPEAKER_01: Right.
7:38
SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
7:38
SPEAKER_01: So it doesn't mean the Eagles can call and be like oh, it's the Eagles.
7:43
SPEAKER_01: Hold on, Steelers.
7:44
SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
7:45
SPEAKER_01: I mean, but what is this?
7:46
SPEAKER_01: 1910?
7:47
SPEAKER_01: We don't have call waiting?
7:48
SPEAKER_01: Like the okay.
7:50
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they're not gonna they're I I I get the point of like maybe maybe it's more about like you could I don't know, say something about like, hey, don't you don't want to answer for anybody else, yeah.
8:01
SPEAKER_01: But you could do that anywhere, right?
8:04
SPEAKER_01: I it seems like a very stupid rule.
8:07
SPEAKER_00: Punishment punishment enough was us looking stupid in front of everybody in the draft we were hosting.
8:12
SPEAKER_00: And that's that's I think as far as it'll go.
8:14
SPEAKER_00: By the way, fun fact that nobody ever brought up.
8:17
SPEAKER_00: What do you remember when the CRS drafted Ryan Shay's ear?
8:21
SPEAKER_00: I don't know, sure.
8:22
SPEAKER_00: Do you know who he was on the phone with when we drafted him?
8:25
SPEAKER_00: He was on the phone with the Cowboys who drew out who picked after us.
8:28
SPEAKER_01: Oh, whoa, we better find Jerry Jones.
8:31
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's happened before.
8:33
SPEAKER_00: It's it's not, you know, like I said, it looked dumb.
8:35
SPEAKER_00: I'm happy with who we got.
8:36
SPEAKER_00: I honestly I think it's a blessing in disguise.
8:39
SPEAKER_00: I didn't want Lemon.
8:40
SPEAKER_00: I would have rather had the tackle and had the receiver in the second round.
8:43
SPEAKER_01: Did you think those grapes were sour anyway?
8:46
SPEAKER_00: Well, no, I just no, it's not it's not him.
8:49
SPEAKER_00: It's just that a receiver in the first round to me is it never works out.
8:53
SPEAKER_01: It never yeah.
8:54
SPEAKER_01: Unless it's like Larry Fitzgerald or Calvin Johnson, like there's been more busts, or maybe Jordan Addison, but like there's been more busts than there have been players that have worked out.
9:05
SPEAKER_00: And tackles are harder to find.
9:06
SPEAKER_00: Receivers are easier to find out.
9:07
SPEAKER_01: Not that this guy couldn't be this tackle guy couldn't be a bust, but anybody else?
9:13
SPEAKER_01: Hey, we got a guy from Navy.
9:14
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
9:15
SPEAKER_01: Does he have to serve time in the Navy?
9:16
SPEAKER_00: He went to he went to Mount Lebanon, too.
9:19
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, does he have to like go like to Iran?
9:21
SPEAKER_00: I don't think so.
9:22
SPEAKER_01: I and does he have to like go like like blockade something in in the offseason this summer?
9:27
SPEAKER_01: Like does he have to like no, no oil can pass here.
9:30
SPEAKER_01: Oh, hold on, it's September.
9:32
SPEAKER_01: I gotta go to minicamp, guys.
9:33
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
9:34
SPEAKER_00: Well well, the big pick.
9:35
SPEAKER_00: Well, hang on.
9:35
SPEAKER_00: Before we get to the picks, I I want to mention one more thing about the first round pick that that I don't think that I think kind of got lost in this is how stupid the Dallas Cowboys are.
9:46
SPEAKER_01: Hey, he said he said he ignored it.
9:48
SPEAKER_01: He said Al Davis told him never to do the division thing, but he ignored the Al Davis.
9:53
SPEAKER_01: So I go figure.
9:55
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
9:56
SPEAKER_00: Here, okay.
9:57
SPEAKER_01: Because it could burn because you play them twice a year, so it could really come back to burn you.
10:02
SPEAKER_00: The Philadelphia last year.
10:04
SPEAKER_00: They're glaring, so they won the Super Bowl two years ago.
10:07
SPEAKER_00: They were definitely they took a step backwards last year.
10:09
SPEAKER_00: Their biggest weakness was their passing game.
10:12
SPEAKER_00: You're chasing them in the division.
10:13
SPEAKER_00: You handed them their biggest need, which was a wide receiver.
10:17
SPEAKER_00: Why?
10:18
SPEAKER_00: How dumb?
10:19
SPEAKER_00: I don't think Gary Jones is I don't think he I mean he I don't think he's known what he's been doing.
10:26
SPEAKER_01: So are you saying he should okay boomer?
10:31
SPEAKER_00: I I just think that was a dumb mistake.
10:33
SPEAKER_00: Like, why would you hand your division rival their biggest need?
10:36
SPEAKER_00: And did you see like when they drafted Caleb Downs, the safety, that's who they drafted with their first pick, and they he was on stage and they were like, Oh, you know, what was it like being on the phone with Jerry Jones?
10:47
SPEAKER_00: And he was like, Oh, you know, I he he couldn't really hear me, I couldn't really hear him.
10:51
SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, Yeah, I I bet that phone call was you know, they put Caleb Downs on the phone, and Jerry Jones is like, huh?
10:59
SPEAKER_00: Who's this?
10:59
SPEAKER_00: How'd you get this number?
11:01
SPEAKER_00: Are you Dion?
11:03
SPEAKER_00: Sir, sir, I'm I'm your number one pick.
11:06
SPEAKER_00: Are you the pole boy?
11:06
SPEAKER_00: You were late last week.
11:08
SPEAKER_00: No, sir, I'm I'm the number one draft pick.
11:10
SPEAKER_00: So I I don't think he knows what he's doing.
11:12
SPEAKER_00: I just anyway, I just thought that got lost at how stupid that was.
11:15
SPEAKER_00: How dumb to hand your division rival their biggest need.
11:19
SPEAKER_01: Well, how about uh Drew Aller?
11:21
SPEAKER_01: I mean, he looked he looked like he can throw the ball.
11:23
SPEAKER_01: It looks like he just needs coached up, and Mike McCarthy seems like he can coach a quarterback, so that might work out.
11:30
SPEAKER_01: It's something.
11:30
SPEAKER_01: Throw enough against the wall, right?
11:32
SPEAKER_01: Something's gotta stick.
11:33
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
11:33
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so so you you're the two things you just said are spot on.
11:38
SPEAKER_00: Like, number one, really amazing talent, like huge arm, um, can make all the throws, all that stuff.
11:46
SPEAKER_00: Terrible footwork, needs a lot of coaching, but we have an offensive set of coaches now that could coach him up.
11:53
SPEAKER_00: Uh that doesn't always work.
11:54
SPEAKER_00: Remember, like Kyle Bowler.
11:56
SPEAKER_00: I always think of Kyle Bowler throwing the ball 75 yards on his knees, and everybody was enamored.
12:00
SPEAKER_01: It's too bad you would be down in that situation.
12:03
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
12:04
SPEAKER_01: Well, I guess maybe not if nobody touched you.
12:07
SPEAKER_00: But but but just but that was but that was the thing with him.
12:09
SPEAKER_00: It's like, oh my god, that guy's just so much athleticism, and you can't teach athleticism.
12:14
SPEAKER_00: So so we'll find out, but but then the second thing you said is spot on too, Steve, that hey, go for it.
12:19
SPEAKER_00: Just start, just start getting young guys in there.
12:22
SPEAKER_00: And and you know what?
12:23
SPEAKER_00: If if if you spend some time with Will Howard and Drew Hour this summer, and maybe even making one of those guys the second string quarterback next season, then maybe by the 2027 draft, you'll know, do I need to get a guy in the first round, or should we stick with who we got and and give that a run?
12:41
SPEAKER_00: And that's fine.
12:42
SPEAKER_00: That's that's what we needed to do five years ago.
12:44
SPEAKER_00: That's what we needed to do when Ben had two years left.
12:47
SPEAKER_00: And we didn't.
12:48
SPEAKER_01: Well, that would have pissed Ben off.
12:50
SPEAKER_00: Okay, but like I said repeatedly, that's what Kansas City and Baltimore and and all all these other the Rams.
12:58
SPEAKER_00: The Rams used the number 13 overall pick in the draft, Steve, on Ty Simpson.
13:02
SPEAKER_00: Do you think do you think do you think Matt Stafford's happy about that?
13:06
SPEAKER_00: Like, I've got one more year left, and you used it on you know a quarterback.
13:09
SPEAKER_00: Well, tough.
13:10
SPEAKER_00: We have to play playing for life after you.
13:12
SPEAKER_01: Right.
13:13
SPEAKER_01: Especially if you only have one year left.
13:15
SPEAKER_00: So yeah, I mean, and he probably has one or two years left, and that's what you have to do, even if it upsets your guy.
13:21
SPEAKER_01: Maybe he'll be the Steelers next quarterback.
13:26
SPEAKER_01: Sure.
13:27
SPEAKER_00: But but again, that it was the right thing to do.
13:29
SPEAKER_00: So I'm and and you know what, Steve?
13:31
SPEAKER_00: The Penn State fans really hate Drew Aller, so I'm already feeling good about it.
13:35
SPEAKER_01: Well, at least they can crap on their own for a change.
13:38
SPEAKER_01: Um how about the guy with all the the guy that looks like a Viking is like like ready to raid raid like England or something and carry off like women and burn down villages.
13:50
SPEAKER_00: Jennings Dunker.
13:51
SPEAKER_00: We yeah, we we have to draft at least two guys from Iowa.
13:55
SPEAKER_01: I I can't well, they that way they don't have to switch uniforms.
13:58
SPEAKER_01: They could just keep the same color scheme.
14:00
SPEAKER_01: But you know, I it's like and then I heard like articles.
14:05
SPEAKER_01: The only thing I read about this guy is oh, the Steelers are gonna make him cut his hair.
14:08
SPEAKER_01: It's like, why?
14:09
SPEAKER_01: Like, I've never heard of anybody having to cut their hair to play like this.
14:12
SPEAKER_01: Isn't the Yankees where isn't the Yankees have a rule we'd be clean shaven?
14:17
SPEAKER_00: They did at one point.
14:17
SPEAKER_00: I don't have any idea if that's still the case.
14:20
SPEAKER_01: But yeah, I don't I don't see Aaron Judge with no facial hair.
14:24
SPEAKER_00: I I what I loved most about this draft was everybody all the players we got are guys who aren't gonna necessarily that Dunker might win a spot, but I think the rest of them are guys that are gonna take some time to develop, and that's fine.
14:40
SPEAKER_00: Like we're I think we're finally admitting that okay, we we need to start developing a nucleus, and and if Rogers comes back, fine, but you're not gonna build a team around like Rogers is coming back, we've got to make one more run.
14:55
SPEAKER_00: That's that that's that's that ship has sailed.
15:00
SPEAKER_01: Here's many years of Jennings Dunker.
15:05
SPEAKER_01: Well, Tim, the Penguins have lost.
15:10
SPEAKER_01: The season is over.
15:12
SPEAKER_01: Um they did look dead in the water down three games to none, but they battled back to force a game six.
15:19
SPEAKER_01: Unfortunately, like these things go sometimes, they've lost game six.
15:23
SPEAKER_01: How do you think they were able to uh force a game six?
15:26
SPEAKER_01: Do you think it was the goaltending?
15:28
SPEAKER_00: I mean you know what?
15:30
SPEAKER_01: Like I don't think it really was the goaltending.
15:32
SPEAKER_01: I think they finally I think they finally play got to their game and they were able to make plays from like behind the net because like early on it was just like the old penguins, like they always did.
15:42
SPEAKER_01: Like, let's skate around the perimeter and not really take shots from like you know the third aisle.
15:48
SPEAKER_01: And then this game, it these last games, it seems like they've been behind the net, shooting the puck, like passing the puck to guys in the prime scoring positions, which is what Philadelphia's been doing the whole series.
15:59
SPEAKER_01: And the last couple games, it seems like they haven't been uh as dominated as they were early in the series.
16:06
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
16:06
SPEAKER_00: I I don't think if you look at the first three games, I don't think you can put blame that all on Stuart Skinner.
16:12
SPEAKER_00: He had he had a couple of bad let ups, but you know, it you're right.
16:19
SPEAKER_00: I I think it was more coincidental when they brought he loves in, you know, that was a little bit of a spark, but that wasn't like he's stealing the games for them that they were winning.
16:28
SPEAKER_00: Um but but like you said, it's it's hard to when you dig yourself that big of a hole.
16:34
SPEAKER_00: I mean, kudos to them for not just folding up their tent and going home.
16:38
SPEAKER_00: You know, at least they at least they showed some spark.
16:41
SPEAKER_00: Um so that was nice, you know, and and like honestly, at the beginning of the season, we didn't even expect them to make the playoffs, so right.
16:48
SPEAKER_00: It just sucks.
16:49
SPEAKER_01: It's just sucks because it's Gino coming back, do you think?
16:52
SPEAKER_00: Oh boy.
16:53
SPEAKER_00: I I I don't know.
16:54
SPEAKER_01: He's looked good.
16:55
SPEAKER_01: He's looked good, except he's taken a couple dumb Gino penalties, but Yeah.
17:01
SPEAKER_00: I I bet that I bet they I bet they work out something where he has one more year.
17:07
SPEAKER_01: And you know, the Flyers are the Flyers, they're gonna engage in flyer type behavior.
17:12
SPEAKER_01: So and what did you think about Sid getting called for embellishment during the series?
17:17
SPEAKER_01: I mean, what was the guy from Philadelphia doing?
17:19
SPEAKER_01: He was just like flipping his stick around and then like he hits him in the face.
17:22
SPEAKER_01: What was that all about?
17:24
SPEAKER_01: Like, should they have just not called anything?
17:26
SPEAKER_01: Should they have just been like, oh, whoops, our bad.
17:30
SPEAKER_00: I mean, NHL is gonna NHL.
17:32
SPEAKER_01: I I it wasn't there was no gameplay, it was like during a break in the gameplay.
17:37
SPEAKER_00: That was that was the same game, I think, where Russ got elbowed in the face and then Russ got the penalty.
17:42
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so so you know, like Steve, you and I always talk about you know, like college football and how stupid it is that that they didn't have a playoff for years, and then how stupid it is that Pitt plays Stanford and Cal and Duke.
17:57
SPEAKER_00: And man, why don't they just fix that?
18:00
SPEAKER_00: It the hockey's the same hockey playoffs, especially, but hockey's the same way where you know if if Patrick Mahomes got elbowed in the face, there'd be a 15-yard penalty followed by like another 15-yard like makeup call just to like give him more yards, and the guy would be fined half his salary.
18:20
SPEAKER_00: You know, they would the NFL would never allow that kind of stuff to happen.
18:24
SPEAKER_00: But but hockey's like you know, hockey, it's it's the it's the umpire from Field of Dreams.
18:29
SPEAKER_00: Do you remember the umpire from Field of Dreams?
18:33
SPEAKER_01: Watch out, you don't get killed, kids.
18:35
SPEAKER_00: That's that's NHL playoffs.
18:39
SPEAKER_01: Well, what do you are they do they come back stronger next year, Tim?
