• 8:04
  Speaker 2: This was adventurous.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: You weren't just going to museums to strike at paintings.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: You were getting active out there.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Oh I gotta get a workout in on the road always.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Oh I missed two things. We went truffle hunting with
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: with Die. It was actually busy trip. I'll talk about
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: the truffle hunting after. But we were in on Lake
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Orda because we you know, everybody's like go to Lake Comos.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: When people say go somewhere, I'm like, okay, great, No
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to Yeah. So I went to Lake Orda,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: which is you know, more and I always get in there.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: It was more west towards Turin, and we like went
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: to the lake and really quiet isolated all Italians that
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: were vacationing there. So we were like, let's go on
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: the beach one day and let's just go swim a bit.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: So we went in the water and and there's this
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: random Italian guy that's like, you like, wanted to try
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: this bike. I'm like what, and they're like, this is
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: like bike, and I think he was like what is it.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: It's like it's not a Ponzi scheme, but it's like
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: those affiliate marketing where these guys go to some convention
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: and do a seminar about this bike and then they
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: sell it to make money. And but it's basically this
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: like hydro bike that once you're on top of the water,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: you're just spinning in it. You're literally like zooming on
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: the water. But it was so tough to get up
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: for me. And so I'm in the middle of this
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: lake trying to get up because you have to like
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: push the bike all the way down, and then you
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: got to pedal your feet and as you're pedaling, you're
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: pedaling your feet. It's like it's like one of those
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: like little scooters. So you pedal your feet and then
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: you turn the engine on because you got to generate
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: a little heat. But then if you're not leaned forward enough,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: you know, the front just comes out and you're you're dead.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: You're hoofed. And it happened like ten times. I'm in
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: the middle of the water, like treading water with this
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Italian guy and a speedo that's looking at me and
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: going it's easy, it's easy. And I'm like, you saw
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: my go fund yourself right now. I'm I'm I'm trying
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: to get up here. I'm like, I got ten pounds
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: of pasta in my belly and I'm trying to like
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: bike this thing. But so cool once you get up.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: And then they yelled at me too, because when I
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: felt off, They're like, you can't jump off like that
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: and like throw the bike. But I'm like I don't
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: want to. I'm not trying to hurt myself. But uh yeah,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I did it for like twenty minutes. Literally just did
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: it for Instagram and that the hydro doing it for
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: the gram. Yeah, but the one we did for Instagram
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: was truffle hunting. Truffle hunting with these dogs. Incredible stuff.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: These dogs they go around we went it was black
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: truffle summer tuffle hunting, which is black truffles in the
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: winter is white truffles, which is like the way more
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: expensive and more rare. And they were saying like it
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: was crazy, these dogs zipping around and like their noses
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: are incredible, and like the black summer truffle grows really
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: shallow in the dirt. So we got like pounds of it.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: And then the guy kept talking. We had this Italian
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: guy that was showing us who trains the dogs, who
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: didn't speak a lick of English. We had a translator.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Was how was the English to it?
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Talient? Because you were I can have stopped. Yeah, I can.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: I can understand. I can't speak great, but I can
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: understand cause of the French, like I can piece my
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: way through, I can read and stuff like that. At second,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: throw a couple of things together, you know. But yeah,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: so we're we're going around and you know, they're digging
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: up the truffles and and I'm a huge fan of truffles,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: and so it was just amazing because this restaurant, you
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: you go with the dogs and you find the truffles,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: and then they make you dinner with the truffles that
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: you caught. So they just pasta and and all sorts
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: of stuff. Is really good. Uh. But he was literally
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: telling us these dogs are like, like the dog that
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: was with us was like worth fifteen thousand dollars because
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: they're like that good. And he's at truffle hunting, like
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: they're crazy at finding truffles, and people other farms try
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: to poison them.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Oh geez.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: He said his dog that he caught two people trying
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: to poison They fill like sausages because the dogs love
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: sausages too. They got fine taste sau sausage truffles. Yeah,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: I sausage party. But they fill it with like poison
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: and then they like throw it on the ground onside.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: The are crazy world, man, The truffle world, cash business,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: cash money, cash is clay, all of it together. That
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: was my That was my trip in a nutshell.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Incredible travelog the honeymoon coming uh and it certainly was
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: well worth a truffle hunting.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: A lot of sex.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Dude, you're in that, you're there in the honeymoons.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: You hopefully get little bit of that as well, but
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: also hopefully you're checking out some of the scenery as well.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're want to be a little lot Italian
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: walking around.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: That's why we drove. She couldn't walk but up. And
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: then we segue to hockey.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Even though there's nothing happening in the NHL in July and August,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: still plenty of trade rumors. How about this, Mason McTavish
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: of the Ducks, Marco Rosh of the wild rumors about
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: both these guys. Now you had predicted, you said, I
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: know Zegres can get traded, and you were right, went
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to the Philippia Flyers.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: I was right and nailed.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Now too, young, talented forest be a welcome addition to
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: any any roster. I want you to put on that
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: no stra demurs cap again, McTavish, ROSSI either of these
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: guy's gonna get dealt.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: I can't McTavish, I can't see it, just because I
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: love him as a center. I think if they ultimately,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: if they can't settle on a number, or or you know,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: if he doesn't like but they're just trending in the
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: right direction with Quinnville. I can't see mctaviash wanting to leave,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: even though you know Zegrest is his good buddy. I
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: just don't see it. I mean, he'd be highly sought after.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: I'm sure they're they're kicking the tires listening at what
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: they could possibly get, because if they could get somebody,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: you know, really interesting in return, that could kind of
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: get him to that next level, because I mean, you know,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: and then this team's Anaheim's like kind of there might
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: pick to make the playoffs my dark horse. Yeah, I
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: think Quinville like they're making a push here. So it's like,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know why you'd get rid of a mctabash
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: ROSSI I think he's going to get dealt. I think
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: he hasn't been happy there. I think he's and his
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: eyes has been underutilized, and I think he's still got
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: some value. So I think he's a guy that could
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: produce on another team and have a bigger role, And
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: I think that's what he wants, so definitely, if they're
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: gonna keep Caprice off and they got to sign Capriso,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I think he's kind of been pushing forward and I
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: think they're trying to look for a place for him.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: So I see him getting moved. I just don't know
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: where goods skilled forward, So could really be anywhere that
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: a team that needs somebody could see like them. I
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: wouldn't say Vegas, but you could see like a Rangers.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: I think maybe somewhere out east. I don't think they
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: keep him in the West, you can see Rangers. Maybe
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: I'm not an Anaheim, but you know, maybe in LA
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: There's just there's some places that he could fit. So
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: I think him for sure. I don't think mctabb I
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: can't see mctabbah should be nuts though. If if maybe
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: there's just it's just irreconcilable differences, you know what I mean?
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and speaking traits that aren't gonna happen, but just
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: interesting chatter. Sidney Crosby turns thirty eighth this week. He's
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: gonna captain of Pittsburgh team that appears be in full
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: tank mode. He's got two years left in his current
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: deal with the Penguins. Now I can't imagine the situation
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: JD in which you would leave the Pittsburgh Penguin just
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: feels like a life for no matter what. At the
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: same time, I suppose if there was an opportunity in
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: which he wanted to chase another cup. It doesn't feel
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: like to me happening in time suit in Pittsburgh. Again,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I don't see it happening. I don't think it's moved
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: the next couple of years, But what do you think
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: happens there in Pittsburgh.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I've talked to Thrupper a lot on this, and I
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: guess it's more the temperament of what he wants to do.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Is he just happy to finish off in pitt and
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I love the only Yeah. I mean, I think maybe
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: initially he's like, I'm staying and then now you're gonna
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: see how bad this shit can get. Yes, But I
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: just know Dubis is trying to put his little fingerprints
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: all over this, and I think he's trying to get
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: rid of the old guard. So I think if he
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: gets rid of the Malkins, the Latin the Malkins, the Latanks,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I think Sid might be more inclined to say, like, Hey,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: I'm out of here. But what a sad way to
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: end the era for them, just kind of limping through.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: You know, you look at Ovi and it's like, at
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: least Ov there, they're staying competitive. You know, they're staying
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: competitive for him. I'm like, pit, how do you not
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: you have those three guys, How do you not say competitive?
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: How do you not figure something out? So Dubus is
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: gonna try have to I think, maybe make one more
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: push for it. But I'm the only place I'd like
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: to see sid go is is Colorado. That's really it.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I just I don't know what you guys think, but
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: I just feel like playing with Nate would be the
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: best case Ontario for me.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think with two seasons left in the deal.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: I'm kind to your points thinking, I don't think it's true.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: This year like as miserable as would be, but I
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: think next year, if it's like the final year, maybe
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: next summer he could say, all right, I got one
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: year left, one last kick of the can. It's not
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: happening in Pittsburgh, where some situations I would find enviable.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Tal has some upcoming predictions and takes for the season.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: What do you got for his tal?
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: Well, I was just gonna add also a lot of
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: I mean it's mostly from Canadians fans, but a lot
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: of Sid to Montreal night chatter about will will the
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: Canadians be rounding in de forum just as Sid's ready
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: to finally sign off on a trade. I don't see
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: it happening, but that's you know, we need to talk
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: about something.
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: It's barely August, right, so yeah.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: It would Sid go to a play like a big market,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: or would Sid want to go to like a Anaheim
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: or like a Colorado where it's like less media because
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: you imagine Sidney Crosby in Montreal.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, out of control to be they would
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: be throwing.
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: Panty out of control.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Oh those little Maria Canadians super fans would be going bananas.
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: Well, you mentioned also predictions add and of course you know,
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: and my duties as producer. I asked you both to
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: come up with some stuff for this dog day of
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: Summer edition of NHL Unscripted, and you both responded, you know,
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: justifiably do it.
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: It's barely August. What are we what are we doing here?
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Stanley Cupper Boss, Carolina Hurriys, that's what you want right here?
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: You go. Well, I said, I mean I kind of
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: want let's go. Yeah, JD, what you got dark horse
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: playoff team Ducks. Ducks are going to make the playoffs
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: this year. Rangers are gonna miss again.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Vegas also, Stanley cupper Bus, you signed that they're pushing hard.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: There's yeah, Vegas, Vegas, Vegas will be in. I think
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: this is I like Carolina, but again, I think they're
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: gonna make the playoffs and well they have enough who knows.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: But I mean the biggest one is will Florida repeat again?
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: That's probably the one that everybody's that's the lowest hanging fruit.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: But when you think about it, it's so tough to
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: win twice. Can they do it a third time? Now?
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Targets on their back picked Tim and they've been ship
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: talking everybody right now all summer long. And I mean, hey, listen,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: so what do you guys think of What do you
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: guys think of Matthew Chuck on the cover of What
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: do you guys think of that? Let's hear that.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I think this is a guy who really represents the
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: best of the sport. He's a phenomenal player. He had
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: a coming out party, certainly with the Four Nations. It
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense to me.
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: Tell yeah, I think we've reached full face of the
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: league status for Matthew could Chuck.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: I mean, not the only face, but one.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: Of the faces of the league in terms of, you know, statistically,
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: he's not putting up McDavid numbers, but in terms of
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: the personality the lineage, I mean, how many interviews did
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: he do immediately after Four Nations and they didn't even
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: win that tournament?
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: Not you know candidate, I'm just going to throw.
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: That out there, But anyway, but he's everywhere. He's someone
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: in the league is clearly putting out there to be
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: one of the guys. And it's it's because he does
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: so many different things. He kind of, I think represents
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: what a hockey player is for a lot of people
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: in terms of all the different elements he brings to
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: the game. And let's be real, he turned that franchise
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: around that thing that they became a Stanley Cup dynasty
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: when they acquired Matthew could Chuck.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's gonna be a lot of Panthers talk
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: all season long about if they're going to go three
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: in a row, and right now, I can't. I can't
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: go against him, even though it's August.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Even though it's August, you're early not you know, so
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: much can happen here. But talas adamant, well, hey, get
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: your futures bets in, folks, even though we don't.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Exactly imagine if we had odds brought to you by
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: bet MGM like that.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, we don't have anyone in there, so that's fine.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: We just have to kind of rind away.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Still to come here in NHL and scripted, we got
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: our hockey talking, we got fearless predictions in for Bob Bender,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: and we got JD's Tripp and more importantly, Tjos. She's
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: coming up right around the bend. Just went through an
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: impressive move. He's formally retired. We'll catch up with tj
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: some of the highlights of his career. It is coming
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: up next right after this here in NHL unscripted, our
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: next guest, a first round pick twenty fourth overall the
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: two thousand and five NHL dropped by the Saint Louis
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Blues after collecting three hundred and two goals and six
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: hundred and ninety five points and over one thousand career
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: NHL games the Blues and the Capitals.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: He called it her career when he fished. He retired
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: in June.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cup Champion, US Olympic legend tj ohh TJ.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Good to see it man, how you been.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Good to see you? Thanks for having me. I appreciate it.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: So for all the incredible things you did in the NHL,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: may have just computed the most impressive feet of your career.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: You recently moved a family of six from Virginia back
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: to Minnesota. You've got four kids, you and your wife.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: How co listen, there's nothing worse to me than the
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: move Outgrace was it making that move from different states?
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: The move was tough.
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: Had we had a good moving company that helped us
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: out and kind of took care of some of the
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: stuff for us. But uh yeah, I mean there's just
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: so many things that go into it that you don't
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: think of, Like the kids need new doctors, the new Dennis. Yes,
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: then you need to sign up for new travel sports.
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: Then you got to sign up for new camps. It's
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: just like all the things that seemed like kinda even
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: though that they're a little hard being a parent, you know,
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: keeping juggling all these things, to take all those things
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: and then transfer them to a state where really, I mean,
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: we know family here. I know guys that I played against,
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: Zach Breezey, Drew Stafford, doub Nick.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: We all played golf together the other day.
• 22:04
  Speaker 7: It's like I know those guys, but I didn't like
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: grow up with them, to go to high school with them,
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: and so uh yeah, you just don't have like your
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: normal stuff. So we're kind of starting over a little bit.
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: We got some family, which is nice, but kind of
• 22:19
  Speaker 7: a fresh start.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: It's like being back in high school finding your community again.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Like you gotta you're like first day at school, You're
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: just like, come on, boys, egg golf with the fellow
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: stuff like that. So I'm sure it's awkward a little bit. Yeah, yeah,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: it is a little bit.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: And I'm not like an extremely social person.
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: I'm not you know, I'm not going out to dinner
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: like once a week, like you know, hanging out with everyone.
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: I'm kind of homebody a little bit, like to just
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: make make food at home, hang out, enjoy some some
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: peace and quiet.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: So being that social.
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: Guy is like a little more difficult at the you know,
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: going to the golf course and like like introducing yourself
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: to a lot of people like, hey, you want to
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: be my friend.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: My friend, I'm new in town. Yeah you know, I
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: know you had a moving company and uh, you know,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: but kind of when you get settled. You know, I
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: did a big move and I retired too. So you know,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: the day I retired, I moved out of my house
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: from Phoenix to you know, a different house, and you're
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: packing up and seeing all your old, old stuff. Is
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: there anything you saw that like brought back some memories
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: that you were like, oh my god, I didn't even
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: know that was still kicking around the house, like some
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: memorabilia or something, you know, growing up.
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I haven't dug too deep into the memorabilia stuff. Actually,
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: last summer, which technically was right after I played my
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: last game, I went through my teammates high school teamates
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: up in war Owed.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: There's this big debacle.
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: My dad obviously at Alzheimer's forgot a lot of things.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: He forgot.
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: They had a storage unit up in northern Minnesota and
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: just stopped paying for it, and you know storage wars.
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: Someone got it. They tried to They tried to like
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: like ask me to buy it back for like numbers
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: like sixteen grand or something. I was like, dude, it's
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: just my childhood things, like it's yeah, there's no there's
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: nothing like it's all high school before so not World Juniors,
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: like none of that stuff, right, and and.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: He like won't give it back, won't give it back.
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: And finally I was like, all right, just keep it,
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: like piece it off and sell it if you want.
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: Apparently he couldn't sell it because it was like literally
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: my kid, like your medals playing like Burnaby eight rings,
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: like the Super series, like that's all what it was like,
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: stuff like that, my team pictures.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: And anyway.
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: So I went up for our team golf or the
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: City World Golf tournament last year, and they brought me
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: down to my buddies basement and surprised me. Some World
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: guy was driving through a guy told him about it,
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: and he was like, I'm leaving with that stuff, and
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: he like paid the guy. I can't remember what the
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: amount was, not sixteen, but I think he paid like
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: over one thousand dollars. He's like, it's all I have here,
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: I'm leaving with TJ stuff. Nice and he packed it
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: all up and I walked down theirs and like they
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: had it like out like a museum. It was like, yeah,
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: and I'm like my letterman's jacket was in there, and
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: then like a bunch of my dad's childhood stuff, like
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: his community college basketball things, and so that was kind
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: of the big thing for me, is like I got
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: all that stuff, and last summer I went through it
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: all and you know, threw away some stuff that's no meaning,
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: but cool to see all that stuff and a good,
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: good surprise for my my high school buddies.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Your shoot up performance against Russia. Of course, twenty fourteen
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Olympics remains an indelible moment the history of USA hockey.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: I once asked Joe Carter, who hit the famous homer
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: for the Blue Jays in ninety three. I said, you
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: know how often people mention that home run too? And
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: he said, well, if I'm out of the house pretty
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: much every day, I said, come on, every day I
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: go to the grocery. Someone said, hey, Joe Carter, I
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: remember the home if I'm with the golf course every day.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: So the question to you is how often do people
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: mentioned that goal to.
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: It actually depends on where I'm at. So if I'm
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: in d C, it's all cap stuff. You know, Saint Louis.
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: I don't get back there very much, but that's mostly
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: about Saint Louis stuff. Minnesota, not much any other place Betwirese.
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: Besides those three places, it's all shootout, you know.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: Because I'm in Minnesota. They talk about high.
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: School, they talk about playing North Dakota DC, they talk
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: about the Cup, talk about well, you talk about Ob
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: mostly and then and then you know, in Saint Louis
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: they talk about just like the old days and whatever,
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: you know, my my younger years. So but yeah, anywhere
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: outside of those places, like I'm walking around like in
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: New York stay and a hockey fan notices me for
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: some reason, it's going to be about the shootout on
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: hundred percent.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Oh my. And what's usually the question that you're getting
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: when you're somebody's grabbing you for that? Is it like
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: how'd you beat Bob? Or is it just like what's
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: usually the general question that comes up when somebody grabs
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: you for that?
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah, what's what's great is it's usually man, I've never
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: been to a bar at six am, and they're like
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: that was the best like time at a bar, And
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: I was like, so that that's usually what they say,
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: they're like, yeah, I have my kid with me, Like
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: we were buzzing, like can your name at six am?
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: And I'm like, that's actually pretty cool. That maybe a
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: reason why it stands out so much.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Is it a moment that like you can replay in
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: your head all the time, or is it one of
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: those that when you see it all the time that
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: it kind of you know, brings it's not that long ago,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: but it brings back every single detail of that performance.
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: Uh, I can, Yeah, I can pretty much remember everything
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: that happened. I'm usually not like that with games and sports.
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: There's only like a few moments where like off the
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: top of my head I can remember unless I like
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: watch it and then you know the feelings sprint come
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: back or the emotions or whatever it is. But that
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: one I can, just because it blew up so big
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: At the time. I wasn't thinking much about it. You know,
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: You're just playing and finish and you know you look
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: at look at the coach, see if he wants you
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: to go again and give.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Me the tap fell I'm feeling it again.
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: And so but yeah, it was you know, obviously a
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: special moment in my in my career, and so I
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: saw get all the feels, and I actually didn't watch
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: the whole thing back again until maybe a year ago.
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: I'd say, wow, you know, I had just seen the
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: clips of the goals. So me and my daughter, my
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: nine year old, she's a little athlete in the family,
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: and she wanted to watch the game, and so that's
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: that's the first time I'd ever watched the game was
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: a couple of months ago.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: That's awesome. How weird does that watch the game? It's
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: it's going back and watching some like early games in
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: your career is always so weird because you're just like god,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: I was. I was every time I watched. I'm like God,
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: I could not skate to save my life, but I
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: was just flowing out there.
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: I definitely looked terrible in the game, I thought, for sure.
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: You know what I noticed is some of the older
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: guys that, like you know, are probably almost all now
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: retired from the twenty fourteen Olympics.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: You look at those.
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: Guys and I remember them based on like the last
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: year or two of their career, and you see them
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: out You're like, oh my god, like I was, I
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: saw obviously, I'm good buddies with Orpik.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: I'm like, holy, Orpie's flying out.
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, because like at the end, you know,
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: you have knee problems, back problem, like you know you're
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: you're an NHL player, but you're kind of you're you're
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: getting through some things to get out there and stay
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: on the ice, you knowwh Yeah, And I.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: Just remember some guys in the game.
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: I was like, God, they are those guys are good,
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: Like they were really good.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Brooks door picked really good. Yeah you were good.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Jack, But.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: I wanted to I wanted to talk about No dak
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: for a sec just because you know, you play with
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Taves and you know, seeing him make his comeback,
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: you know, does that make you feel any kind of
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: way because you guys were together at such a young
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: age and had some good teams too. I was going
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: back and looking and how was that experience with him?
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: And was he always that serious?
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: He would he would lighten up sometimes, But I mean
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: as when we came in, I want to say he
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: either started school early as a young kid, or he
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: did high school in like three years or something, because
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: he was only seventeen as a freshman in North Dakota.
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: And so but even then, like he was definitely more
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: mature than I was, you know, turning nineteen that in
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: a couple months into my freshman year, he just had
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: like this drive about him and this like he was
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: like ultra ultra I don't want to say serious, but
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: he was like determined to like play in the NHL,
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: to be like the best player in the NHL, you know.
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: Where it was compared to someone like me, who was like,
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: I'm just there to have fun. If I make it
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: to NHL, you know great. I didn't watch my draft,
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: you know, like it was just two different So compared
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: to me, yeah, he was incredibly serious. But in those moments,
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: like in the locker room, he'd like we'd joke around,
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: We'd sitting there in our gear for hours, you know,
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: we'd show up in between classes and skate together. I
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: think he was really good for me, and I was
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: really good for him back then, because, like I said,
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: I was one hundred percent like fun, like that's all I.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: Wanted to do.
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: And so we would kind of clash, go head to head,
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: right Like point spies were always like pretty close on
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: the team, but like and even playing time a little bit,
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: but we were like super competitive against each other. And
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: you know, it was like Canadian American, you know, like
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: I don't know, like fun guy, like serious guy. But
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: we I mean, we absolutely loved each other, but we
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: were so we pushed each other so hard to the
• 32:07
  Speaker 7: point where like you know, sometimes we get not fight,
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: but like we get pissed at each other on the ice,
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: you know what I mean. And uh, but I'm I'm
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: so excited for him. He talked to me, gosh, you
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: must have called me in the spring, maybe late spring
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: about making a comeback and about training and stuff.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: We use a.
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: My trainer is something that he had used at some
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: point but throughout his career, and he's thinking about getting
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: back into it. So he's training where I trained in
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: the in the Twin Cities, And yeah, we talked about it,
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: and I'm super super excited for him.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: He sounded awesome on the phone.
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: And uh, John's got like the just the hockey smarts
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: that if his body gets into shape, like those those
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: those smarts just don't go away, right, All those guys
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: that play forever, they're so smart, they're so intelligent. Yeah,
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: they're so intelligent on the ice. So I hope he's
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: in a good spot. That was he gets in a
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: good spot. I think he can you know, he can
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: definitely help TJ.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: He came to the league with Keith the Chuck as
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: a teammate in Saint Louis. What's it been like seeing
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Matthew and Brady and matthewa checkson on the cover of
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: a NHL twenty six obviously Standley Cup champion.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: How wild has that been?
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: It's insane, honestly, it is. It's it's like crazy that,
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: you know, you get to that point because I remember
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: in the locker room they would be, you know, you'd
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: still be getting undressed and they'd be like playing like
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: like shinny like knee hockey in the locker room, and
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: we had a we had a big locker room with
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: we had a big locker room with like a rink
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: on the in the middle of it so that coaches
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: could like talk about it or whatever, but and use
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: like the carpet for like the whiteboard.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and uh.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, school, I know it is. You don't see that
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: any anywhere. You just have the coach just pointing on
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: the ice. That's why. Yeah.
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So to go from there.
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: And now to him being on the cover to stand
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: the Cups it's it's pretty pretty surreal.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, how was Keith for you as a as
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: a veteran guy when you came in and how was he?
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: You know, obviously he's got his two kids there and
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: they're so young, but but how did he mentor and
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: what was his style? You know, because at that point
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: he was about a year I think it was his
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: second last year when you first started playing with him.
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he was, Uh, he was a little difficult.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: I love hearing that.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah he was. He was hard. He was hard.
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he uh, yeah, he he expected you know, I
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: don't know, he was just he was just hard on me,
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: Patrick Bergland, David Perun specifically us three, and uh.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: It was good for me, honestly.
• 35:03
  Speaker 7: You know, I think he kind of saw, you know,
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: maybe the mistakes that he had maybe made at some
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: point in his career and saw you know, us and
• 35:10
  Speaker 7: knuckleheads running around, and so it was he was.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: He was hard on us.
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: But you know, every once in a while he'd like
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: grab you and like pull you under his arm and
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: like kiss the top of your head or something, you know,
• 35:21
  Speaker 7: and you're like, oh, he loves me.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: It's like that dad that like never like says good
• 35:25
  Speaker 7: to job, and then like that one like every once
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: in a while he like grabbed me. You're like he
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: likes me, but no, it was it was scary like
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: if he was in a bad mood and he walked
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: in the training room, like as like we would like
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: walk out.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, that for sure because like this guy.
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but I mean and it was hard too because
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: like you loved him at the same time. But yeah, no,
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: he was.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: He was great. I remember the first time.
• 35:50
  Speaker 7: I first time, like I might have been practice, were
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: like his big skate and like I come in the
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: training room and Walt has his own blue robe with
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: a blue symbol on it and just says Walt, and
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: no one else on the team had a row. It
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: was only it was just him and he's walking around you,
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: and I was like, wow, this must be this is different.
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: This is a little different. But it was. It was awesome.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: He was so good for me. But you know, at
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: the time, you're like, god, this guy is kind of meat.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: But see that's that's like what's great to hear from guys,
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: because I feel like fans don't get that enough, like listen,
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: like I had Joe Thornton obviously Joe Thornton and Kitchuck
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: are so different. But he was so incredibly hard on me,
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: to the point where like if I told people's stories,
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: they'd be like, that's not true, and I'm like telling you,
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: like they're such competitors, Like it's like people need to
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: know that. It's just like it's it helped me, but
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: at times you're like going home, I'm driving home like
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: this guy, this guy hates me, and I'm like, it's
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: just one of those things. It's like you gotta you
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: gotta go through those moments as a as a young kid,
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: and you know it's not all you know, roses and
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. So that's cool to hear that Keith
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: was not just all smiles but could be a dick sometimes.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, certainly Keith Chuk could be a tough customer.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: As far as Alexandro Vetchkin TJ, I feel like it's
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: a little more like you, fun loving kind of guy.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: I know he didn't play last season with the Capitals,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: but how much were you around the team, and of
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: course Obie's incredible gold chase hunting down Gretz.
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I was, I was around a lot
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: at the at the beginning during training camp, went with
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: the team. We brought back our like team bonding trip
• 37:29
  Speaker 7: this year, which we hadn't had for a couple of years,
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: and uh, definitely I was around during during the chase
• 37:37
  Speaker 7: and Ted was generous enough to have me and Backy
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: you know, fly with him.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: From game to game. Luckily ob made it pretty quick,
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: so make too many trips.
• 37:47
  Speaker 7: But no, it was it was an incredible, incredible year,
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: incredible seeing him do it. I mean it's been a
• 37:56
  Speaker 7: couple of years since I stopped. Like people ask me
• 37:59
  Speaker 7: all the time, like is he getting retires, is he
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: going to slow it down? Is going to get the record?
• 38:03
  Speaker 7: And my first two years I was like, yeah, I
• 38:06
  Speaker 7: don't know. Yeah, I guess everyone you hear like all
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: your too, your windows over like it's you know. And
• 38:12
  Speaker 7: then I was like, you know what, always gonna do
• 38:15
  Speaker 7: whatever he wants to put his mind to, and so
• 38:17
  Speaker 7: I stopped guessing how far he can go, how many
• 38:20
  Speaker 7: goals he can score, and sure enough he got it done.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: I mean I was one of those those doubters. I
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: was like, I mean, he's gonna get there, but it's
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: gonna take him a while. And you know, I think
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: as athletes we love seeing guys that kind of defy
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: father time and he's done that. And and you know,
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: there wasn't really a moment more than when he came
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: back from that leg injury, like like how is that?
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Like were you around the room when he was rehabbing,
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: and like, as a guy that you know, I was
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: injured in my career and a lot, and it's like that,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: that's just so disheartening. And he somehow came back quicker
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: than everybody thought.
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 38:56
  Speaker 7: I I saw him the next morning and I walked
• 39:00
  Speaker 7: in and I'm sitting there like doing.
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: My cross or you know, I don't have anything to do,
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: so I was like, I don't even think like a
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: cross over your clothes.
• 39:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we were a big cross for a team, and
• 39:13
  Speaker 7: we got the recliners, you know, almost getting into like
• 39:15
  Speaker 7: the Walt territory a little bit.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: That's how I said, you're gonna give yourself a bathroom?
• 39:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and uh and uh no.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: I I saw him.
• 39:24
  Speaker 7: I look over and he's like walking in and he
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: broke his leg like the day before, and I'm like, oh.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: What are you doing.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: He's like I'm walking in.
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: He's like I'm fine, bad, fine. He had like he
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: had like crutches, but like set him down and then
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: like walked around the table to like get up right,
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: and and I'm like and he sits down and I
• 39:44
  Speaker 7: go look, I'm like, let me see the X rays.

• 41:34
  Speaker 7: and like so many different facets of life that like
• 41:37
  Speaker 7: he's like the topic of conversation a lot of times
• 41:40
  Speaker 7: like he's just that.
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: It's just I don't know, he's just OV. It's it's amazing.
• 41:46
  Speaker 7: It's like funny, incredible, like impressive, like dumbfounded, something like
• 41:51
  Speaker 7: I don't know how to how to describe it.
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: He's like one of a kind.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: I mean he is, and I don't know if there'll
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: be another one like him. And I mean yourself too.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: You're you're so unique in what you've done in your
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: career and in your personality. But talk a little bit.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: We had you on the network and we talked about
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: your affinity for Mario Kart and then you got a
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: tattoo of Warrio on your leg, which is, uh, we
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: we could not have guessed it, but you got it
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: was insane. But just talk about that, like stint in
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: the bubble with OV, with those guys, and how great
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: it was that you guys found something to like all
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: kind of collectively play around, which is Mario Kart.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 42:28
  Speaker 7: Man, it really at the time, it was just like
• 42:31
  Speaker 7: there's just so much time in the hotel and so
• 42:34
  Speaker 7: we're like, let's just play Mario Kart. And for whatever reason,
• 42:37
  Speaker 7: it almost became like a religion, like you're going you're
• 42:41
  Speaker 7: on the plane. You know you're going on the road,
• 42:42
  Speaker 7: and you're like, boys, I can't wait to like set
• 42:44
  Speaker 7: it up, like you just like go in, throw your
• 42:47
  Speaker 7: bags down. I'd usually if you had a Mario Kart backpack,
• 42:50
  Speaker 7: like a Nintendo sixty four backpack that we carried it in.
• 42:53
  Speaker 7: And so usually when we get off the plane, our
• 42:55
  Speaker 7: team services guy Rob maybe like the best in the business.
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: So Rob, right when I get off, you'd like hand
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: me the backpack, I'd take it.
• 43:04
  Speaker 7: I'd go straight to the lounge, set up all the
• 43:07
  Speaker 7: video games because usually they have like the PlayStation five set.
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: Up like the wrong way or whatever.
• 43:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that way, I could pick what TV the Mario
• 43:14
  Speaker 7: Kard gets and what the PlayStation gets, and I would
• 43:18
  Speaker 7: like move it out of the way, set it up,
• 43:19
  Speaker 7: move the chairs, and then I would go out to
• 43:22
  Speaker 7: my room, set my bags down, switch into like your sweats,
• 43:25
  Speaker 7: and then run down there because you want to get.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: A controller, have to.
• 43:30
  Speaker 7: And so it became like a I don't know, it
• 43:33
  Speaker 7: was just like our way to bond. And we were
• 43:35
  Speaker 7: always in the lounge, not only just playing Mariocard. That
• 43:39
  Speaker 7: was like our like section of guys, but like everyone
• 43:42
  Speaker 7: was just always in the lounge when we were like
• 43:44
  Speaker 7: bonding that year, it wasn't like guys going to their
• 43:46
  Speaker 7: room and doing their own thing or guys going out
• 43:48
  Speaker 7: to dinner for their own thing.
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: It was like everyone was just together.
• 43:51
  Speaker 7: The whole run, and uh, you know, kind of almost
• 43:56
  Speaker 7: the same way we played the game. We were just
• 43:58
  Speaker 7: like fully like together and no one was complaining about anything,
• 44:04
  Speaker 7: just you know, onto the next and bonding and having fun.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: Like I'm sure you've answered this, you know a bunch
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: and have thought about it, but like you know, and
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: I know, it's it's really a common sentiment between guys
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: when you retire. Myself included of like, you know, some
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: personally you're gonna miss, which is always seems to come
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: up the guys in the locker room and the camaraderie.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: Is that kind of the same vein for you? Is
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: there anything else that kind of you're gonna miss about
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: the game and going to the rink every day?
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I think the I think why everyone
• 44:37
  Speaker 7: says it's like the guys and why that part's so
• 44:39
  Speaker 7: important is because you're really like I guess metaphorically, but
• 44:44
  Speaker 7: you're like going to war on the ice every day.
• 44:46
  Speaker 7: And so it almost like that that time that you're
• 44:49
  Speaker 7: together not on the ice is just like you just
• 44:51
  Speaker 7: bond it even more, you know what I mean. A
• 44:53
  Speaker 7: lot of times you're bonding over the game. You're bonding
• 44:57
  Speaker 7: over like tough losses, You're bonding over huge wins, you
• 45:00
  Speaker 7: know what I mean. And so you guys, you take
• 45:03
  Speaker 7: this emotional or coaster together like all every right, and
• 45:07
  Speaker 7: it's just like you're doing that together, whereas like not
• 45:11
  Speaker 7: every guy is like moving to a different state right
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: now that I can just like grab a beer with
• 45:16
  Speaker 7: at night, you know what I mean. It's it's just
• 45:18
  Speaker 7: so you missed that going through things together.
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: Gosh.
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: Other than that, just like the competition, I was like
• 45:24
  Speaker 7: my whole life even now, Like maybe that's why people
• 45:28
  Speaker 7: like having like a couple of drinks with me, because
• 45:29
  Speaker 7: like I need to get like some type of game going,
• 45:32
  Speaker 7: you know what I mean. And I'm just like I
• 45:37
  Speaker 7: can sit and chat for a little bit, and I'm like,
• 45:39
  Speaker 7: all right, guys, let's go like get in here, you know.
• 45:42
  Speaker 7: And so like I miss that about hockey that like
• 45:45
  Speaker 7: every day and I would make every like I tried
• 45:47
  Speaker 7: to make like practices like turn them into game somehow
• 45:50
  Speaker 7: or after the after practice have the guys down at
• 45:52
  Speaker 7: my end and be like hey, backhand crossbar, like like
• 45:57
  Speaker 7: let's go, you know, And so I I kind of
• 45:59
  Speaker 7: I miss that part. It translates a little into like
• 46:03
  Speaker 7: me and my kids and stuff. But but you know,
• 46:05
  Speaker 7: you miss miss your time with the boys.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that is the biggest thing, and I love that.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: So we'll have to find a time to grab a
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: beer at some time because I need to play shuffle
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: or I need to do something and keep those juices going.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: But now that you're done, you kind of did a
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: little stint, you did some ESPN stuff. You know, did
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: you enjoy it? Did you get a good feeling of that?
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: Is that's something you're trying to hope to kind of
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: continue and kind of what's next for you? Are you
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: just taking some time to get settled in the new
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: house and and just take a breath.
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah. ESPN was great. I loved it.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: You're great, Uka mass for great.
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: Steve was great.
• 46:41
  Speaker 7: It was it was really eye opening, that is I
• 46:46
  Speaker 7: mean it was at the start, it was so much
• 46:49
  Speaker 7: harder than I thought it would ever be with like
• 46:51
  Speaker 7: the ear piece in that's tough, and like people talking.
• 46:55
  Speaker 7: I'd never even said a word with like one of
• 46:59
  Speaker 7: my ears plugged, and so like right off the hop,
• 47:02
  Speaker 7: I was like, oh boy, like I'm thinking about my
• 47:05
  Speaker 7: ear piece, my legs shaking because I'm nervous, the desk
• 47:08
  Speaker 7: is like tight on my thighs, and like I don't
• 47:10
  Speaker 7: like that.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: You know, here, I'm coming my notes.
• 47:14
  Speaker 7: I got to remember like what my question is and
• 47:17
  Speaker 7: and so it was very hard at the start. And
• 47:19
  Speaker 7: by the end of the second intermission, They're like, all right,
• 47:22
  Speaker 7: we're done.
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: And I was like, oh what, Like I just felt
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: like I was getting caught out my rhythm, Like I'm.
• 47:28
  Speaker 7: Sitting there like, no, we're done, We're good, and like
• 47:31
  Speaker 7: get a plate and like and uh. And I was
• 47:35
  Speaker 7: like they're sitting there probably like oh thank God, Like
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: I can't wait to go home, and I'm sitting there
• 47:39
  Speaker 7: like please go it overtime, Please go to overtime, like one.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: Moreh Never you never say that on there, you never
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: say that. I've been stuck in a couple of long days.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's the scary thing is the ear piece,
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: like cause you're you know, somebody's counting you down in
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: your ear and you're trying to get a point off
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: and you're like all year in years thirty twenty five
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: and you're like, fuck, I haven't even gotten to the
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: best part.
• 48:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I know it was. I mean at one point,
• 48:05
  Speaker 7: it was at the end, they're like everyone had one
• 48:08
  Speaker 7: last take. I think it was at and the second
• 48:11
  Speaker 7: second intermission, maybe everyone had one last one for the game, Like,
• 48:14
  Speaker 7: how does you know? Whatever it is, and they're like,
• 48:18
  Speaker 7: everyone gets seven seconds. Well, they were counting down the
• 48:21
  Speaker 7: seconds that we all had combined, and when it got
• 48:24
  Speaker 7: to me, it was down to like one second.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: That's brutal.
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: That's they they gave me. They gave me the extra time.
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: You know. Steve Lee obviously like an.
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: Absolute he's he's the king.
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's the king. So he saved me at the end.
• 48:40
  Speaker 7: But in my mind, I was like, I don't know
• 48:43
  Speaker 7: what happened. So in my mind I was like, I'm
• 48:45
  Speaker 7: gonna be talking and it's just gonna cut.
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: You know, I don't know, I don't know how what
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: happens credits, and so.
• 48:54
  Speaker 7: I think it ended up being okay, and and I
• 48:56
  Speaker 7: got my you know quick, I only needed like three
• 48:59
  Speaker 7: seconds to say whatever I need to say.
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: But it is.
• 49:02
  Speaker 7: Something I'm pursuing right now a little bit. I'm also
• 49:04
  Speaker 7: talking to the Caps about some stuff nice and so yeah,
• 49:08
  Speaker 7: I'm kind of trying to get my foot in the
• 49:10
  Speaker 7: door and like a couple of different things and uh, yeah,
• 49:14
  Speaker 7: we'll see, we'll see where it takes me. TV was fun.
• 49:17
  Speaker 7: I could see my skill self getting into that. I
• 49:19
  Speaker 7: would love to coach, I really really would. I just
• 49:22
  Speaker 7: don't have the time with four kids right now.
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're eleven. I just can't do it.
• 49:27
  Speaker 7: But I know I was like, like watching Mighty Ducks
• 49:31
  Speaker 7: back in the day Charlie Conway when he like gave
• 49:33
  Speaker 7: away his skate and grabbed the clipboard.
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: I was like, Oh, that's gonna be me one day,
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: So transition, that's awesome, man, Yeah that's yeah.
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: So well, well we'll see what happens. But the TV
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: was fun.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: ESPN.
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: ESPN was first class and it was.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: Great, oh amazing. And you know, finally for you, I
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: just wanted to give you the kind of space to
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: talk about war Road and is there anything kind of
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: new coming out or or just any developments for you guys.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: And you're doing great work and you know, protecting kids
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: and protecting athletes in general.
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: Thank you. Yeah, it's uh, you know, it's coming along.
• 50:09
  Speaker 7: Growing a business is tough, but we're doing it for
• 50:12
  Speaker 7: the right reasons and we're trying to do it the
• 50:14
  Speaker 7: right way. So we're trying to protect as many as
• 50:18
  Speaker 7: many kids as possible. I think a lot of times,
• 50:20
  Speaker 7: a lot of kids. Last year kind of went more
• 50:22
  Speaker 7: forward towards like the doughnut neck guard thing a little bit,
• 50:25
  Speaker 7: and so right now we're just trying to educate that
• 50:28
  Speaker 7: what we have is a little more protective. You know,
• 50:30
  Speaker 7: you got the collar bone, you got the whole thing covered.
• 50:32
  Speaker 7: We're making it as comfortable as possible. We're working on,
• 50:36
  Speaker 7: you know, the next generation, which I think is going
• 50:38
  Speaker 7: to be pretty cool, but it's a little bit out.
• 50:42
  Speaker 7: So just trying to grow it. Hopefully kids out there
• 50:44
  Speaker 7: and everyone just stays safe. You know, it takes that one.
• 50:49
  Speaker 7: It's always a crazy accident, right, There's no reason a
• 50:51
  Speaker 7: skates should be by your neck. But even like I
• 50:54
  Speaker 7: was going through it's one of my one of my
• 50:56
  Speaker 7: buddies sent me a like a hit video that someone
• 50:59
  Speaker 7: made to me on it on Instagram.
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, what's this.
• 51:02
  Speaker 7: I clicked it and there was like two or three
• 51:05
  Speaker 7: hits where either we were going to the ice or
• 51:08
  Speaker 7: just I hit a guy and his skates come up
• 51:10
  Speaker 7: and like hit me in the shoulder. One time I
• 51:12
  Speaker 7: ran over someone in Minnesota. I can't remember who it was,
• 51:17
  Speaker 7: and he I fell on top of him. My skate
• 51:19
  Speaker 7: came through and like looked like it like clipped his vibes.
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: It's so close all the time, so I'm was like, gosh.
• 51:25
  Speaker 7: Like I look at those now obviously trying to you know,
• 51:28
  Speaker 7: making bass layers with neck protection and yeah, risk protection
• 51:33
  Speaker 7: all that. I'm like, man, that is so close and
• 51:36
  Speaker 7: you just don't know. So you know, I just hope
• 51:38
  Speaker 7: the kids stay safe they wear World or not. We're
• 51:41
  Speaker 7: just trying to protect the game.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: Awesome, Boddy, that's great. Well you got so much going on.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: Go hang with the family, go take care of all
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: that stuff and moving, and we hope to see you soon.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: But thanks so much Tjohi, and good luck and retirement.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure it's not the last we've seen you,
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: that's for sure.
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: Thanks brother, appreciate it.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: Thanks once again to tj osh As it's now time
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: for a little centophile. In sixty Jad and I both
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: saw Superman talents has been stuck watching kids movies. Tal
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: I saved editing for you Ari Astro's new movie We'll
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: do That Another Time, which was fantastic new movie Starry
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: Paedro piscal and Joaquin Phoenix. My new Superman is the
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: big one, so we gotta get to that. And plus
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: I did watch the new Naked Gun movie, which is
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: really funny.
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: So Superman JD.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: I'm fired up to go see it, obviously the kids
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: want to go. And I was really disappointed by a couple.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: Of main issues.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: People send me this video of Mike Frances's eight and
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: a half minute rant against Superman, and I got listen to.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: Mike Francisco is nice stuff, guy. I'm sure he's a
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: Radio Hall favorer. I'm not gonna watch it. Eight and
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: a half minute rant to go. Now, dude, you have
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: to watch it. So I wait until I Sadimnway, which
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: I was disappointed by. Then I watched it and I
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: thought it was hysterical and two of his major points
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: which I agree with. One enough with the dog? What's
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: with the dog? I don't care about Crypto?
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: What's with like? Who cares? It's a Superman movie.
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: I couldn't agree.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: More like, maybe it's just I'm not a dog guy,
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: but enough with crypto everything. There's a dog, dog needs saving,
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: dog showing up again. Apparently one point James gun said
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: the dog would be even a.
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: More of a featured role.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: Verst with the tript He's like, I'm gonna make the
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: dog basically the central part of the movie, which tells
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: you all you need to know.
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: Clearly playing to kids, waitmen, et cetera. Not really my jam.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: The major issue is this though for me, way too
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: much of the supporting characters.
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: It's a Superman movie where Superman, Superman's goodness butt kicked
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: the whole movie. He shows up first, He's gonna hit
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: you can't do nothing.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: Who's this guy, mister Terrific?
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: Like, mister Terrific ends.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: Up having one of the most exciting sequences of the
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: entire movie. Lois Lane is writing, Shako and mister Tripp, Who.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: The fuck is mister Terrific?
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: I want to watch a Superman movie.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: I'm like, and this is James Gunn, who did such
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: a great job at the Guardians of the Galaxy. There's
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: no question about it. He reinvigorated that franchise. It's funny,
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: it's irreverend, it's different. But they love the multiverse, they
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: love the multiple characters. I just want Superman GD against
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: Lex Luthor and instead of getting all these other ancillary characters.
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: The guy plays Superman was fine.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: He's not exactly Christopher Reeve love Brosnahand because I love
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: Marvel's missus Basel, she was all right.
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: But overall, form me, he's a disappointment. Having said that,
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: kids loved it.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: Uh, the movie worldwide is not doing great, but Domestic
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: was a strong hit.
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: So we're gonna get Superman two and all the rest
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: of it. But for me, I was disappointed. What did
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: you think of the Man of Steel?
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: Well, when you make those points, so I enjoyed it
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: because I thought, when I'm looking at what I want
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: to see from Superman, I thought they brought it back
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: a little bit more hokey and he's like kind of
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: a just a kid from a farm and stuff like that.
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: So I enjoyed that. And he's very happy, go lucky.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: You know, the dark Superman I never was the biggest
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: fan of because I don't think that was that was
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: ever Superman's vibe. He's just this good guy that that
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: is trying to do right and stumbles a lot of
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: the time because he's still learning as a human being
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: does so I like that. I mean I didn't, you know,
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: to your point when you mentioned the dog, I thought
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: there was too much crypto. I don't like an animated
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: dog is I hate animated animals and movies where it's
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: like this, you're playing with this random pet that doesn't
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: even exist, like it's a ball or it's it's like
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: some random human that's wearing a wearing those dots and yeah,
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: jumping in your arms. Like I didn't love that. I
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: enjoyed mister terrific. He actually was, Like I thought that
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: was like the best written character, right, But you know,
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: why show him that much makes no sense, you know,
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: him getting saved. I think they're trying to set up
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: for the next one. I mean, I thought Lex Luthor
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: was good. I thought I thought he was good. Yep,
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: I thought he played well. And those scenes with Lex
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: Luthor and Superman were the best scenes, you know, Like
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: those are the best scenes when they're arguing, battling, fighting,
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: Like that's that's what we to your point, what everyone
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: he wanted to see. But you know, I like overall,
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, good job, But it's always with DC.
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: I find you're just like, oh yeah, good, But like
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: I feel like I feel like you missed. I feel
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: like you missed what Marvel captured so early on. And
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: now I think Marvel's falling off a little bit. But
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: what they caught early on of like towing that line
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: between dark and light and all that stuff and the
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: funny and the so but yeah, too much animated dog.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: With the whole battle DC versus Marvel, like overall should
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: be a route for Marble. All DC's got is Batman
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: and Superman, which are the two most iconic characters arguably
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: ever in comic book history. But then Marvel just has
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: a litany of great characters in addition to course of
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: Spider Man. Tal Are you gonna see Superman at some point?
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: Are you're just not interested you just have the time yet,
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: or you're gonna wait to streaming?
• 56:20
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 56:21
  Speaker 5: I kind of between Superman and Fantastic Four, I kind
• 56:26
  Speaker 5: of feel like, haven't we done all this?
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: Like I keep thinking of looks awful too. Yeah, I keep.
• 56:31
  Speaker 6: Thinking of Robbie Williams.
• 56:33
  Speaker 5: Like I feel like every five years someone tries to
• 56:36
  Speaker 5: throw Robbie Williams at us, and we're like, we're not
• 56:38
  Speaker 5: interested in Robbie Williams. I'm sure he's great and yeah,
• 56:42
  Speaker 5: but just I'm not into it. And I feel the
• 56:44
  Speaker 5: same way about Superman and Fantastic four. Superman I'll probably
• 56:48
  Speaker 5: stream at some point. I still need to see F one.
• 56:50
  Speaker 5: I'm way behind Naked Gun. We were talking about that
• 56:53
  Speaker 5: top weight that you That's the first thing I'm gonna
• 56:55
  Speaker 5: see in the next week or so.
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: You're not a Robbie Williams fan.
• 56:59
  Speaker 6: I saw I never forought to even do a deep dive.
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: And I saw that that Better Man biopic. I thought
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: it was fantastic. It was a monkey though, that was yeah. No,
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: I know it's yeah, but he is. Yeah, but I
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: I just enjoy it once you kind of look past it.
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: I I I really a story told through a monkey?
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: Is that different? Being different? Better Man?
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: Well, after you just pointed out, I think correctly. You
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: don't like these animated characters like all the.
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: No, I don't like animated I don't like animated animals dogs,
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: dogs because I play a monkey. Okay, I yeah, that
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: one was. I liked it. I liked the song I
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: like the I like the love story a bit, and j.
• 57:38
  Speaker 5: D the Robbie Williams defender who knew I touched a
• 57:42
  Speaker 5: nerve there.
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: I liked his music. I always liked Robby Williams music too.
• 57:46
  Speaker 5: That he's good, well, fantastic for then, I think more
• 57:48
  Speaker 5: speaks to this because like we've gone through this several
• 57:51
  Speaker 5: like there's literally, isn't there like a Michael B.
• 57:53
  Speaker 6: Jordan fantastic for a movie that no one's seen.
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: I mean I've seen it.
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: I wanted the thought of Better Man.
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: It dot generally positive reviews, but one of the biggest
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: box office flops of recent memory. One hundred and ten
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: million her budget and it grows twenty million dollars worldwide,
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: and Jasons is a defender of it.
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: Better Man. Wow, that's crazy. Me and me and me
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: and Jill watched it and we're both like, you know,
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: once you get past that APG. I liked it, but.
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: Some of you said it was a unique and potentially
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: off putting concept. Yeah, okay, let's get into the naked gun. Then,
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: like a blind man at an orgy, I was gonna
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: have to feel my way around like a midgetary urinal.
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: I just have to be on my toes.
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: It's tough to top the original Naked Gun with the
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: all time great comedies, but I thought it was a
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: fantastic job by Akiva Schaeffering Company. First off, Leah Neeson
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: is such a home run as Lieutenant Colonel Frank Drevens
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: and Leslie Nielsen know, his entire career played a lot
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: of dramatic roles. That's why Naked Gun was so refreshing,
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: was he had been a dramatic actor and then all
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: of a sudden shows up doing these great deadpan comedies.
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: And of course, you know Abrams and the Zucker Brothers.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: Those guys pioneered a new style of comedy of the
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: airplane back in nineteen eighty and Naked Gun was an
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: extension of that.
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: But it's really tough to top the original.
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: It's got every single type of right syche gags, ponds
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: double on Taunders, and this one really kind of fits
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: into that mold. Nissan specifically a remarkable career, right He's
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: Oscar Schindler, does these great movies with gravitas, then he
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: becomes an action star and now doing a comedy. The
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: only really comedic shot that he's shown, which is hysterical.
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: Was Life's too short? Ricky Gervais show, he has one
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: scene if you haven't seen it before, it is like
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: on the floor hysterical. At one point he's talked. But
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: the reason he got Schindler's List because he makes lists
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: and Ricky Jervas's laughing it dead pays it. No, I
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: told Steven Goes Stephen, I make lists all the time,
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: like I should absolutely play this role.
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: And it is so funny the fact.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: He stays in characters, so I knew, like, all right,
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: niece's got him to be funny, and he plays it
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: straight and hysterical. Great chemistry with him and Pamela Anderson
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: fellow Canadian who they've been canoonling on the red carpet.
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: They found their role that.
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: Was pretty I like that. I love it later stage
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: in life.
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they've got genuine chemistry in the movie. And what's
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: great about the movie it's short, eighty five minutes. You
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: take up the credits, it's eighty minutes. Just let's just go, man,
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: get in there and go twenty five minutes of trailers.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: So seven o'clock show, seven to twenty eighth the movie starts,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: but you're walking out there.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: Eight fifty eight. Oh, I love it.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: Some big time laughs.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, listen some some Missus Dottaby laugh was great,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: but I'm giving a solid three to for me beliefs
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: a good time, and more importantly, it might be the
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: biggest movie of the summer in terms of impact, because
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: we've come a long way away from JD having great comedies. Normally,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: every summer you'd say, what's the comedy of the summer,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: the Hangover, there's something about Mary.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: Now it doesn't happen. Comedies just don't get released in theaters.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: So the fact there's actually a comedy seth McFarlan, who
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: produced it, that's what he was joking about. I want
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: to just explain to peeple what this is. It's a
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: movie where you go to the theater and actually laugh.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: We used to do that in the summers. That's what
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: kind of this is all about. So seventeen million dollar
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: opening and a forty two million dollar budget, that's a
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: good opening for them.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: Opening the third behind Fantastic Forum.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: Whatever the hell's was second place probably Superman, but good
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: stuff from the Nake Again. I hope people enjoyed, and
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: I think you guys will both really enjoyed as.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: Well amazing Liam Neeson. He also had a small cameo
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: and ted ted one or two with the tricks are
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: for kids. That's hilarious, zach us. I was told that
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: tricks are specifically for kids. I'm taking this now. Yeah.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: The fact that he stays in character is so well done. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: I love his stuff with Pamela Anderson too. They did
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: it well.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good John, all right, a couple more topics and
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: will bounce. He played his last year the NHL more
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: than a year ago. But how about your guy, Joe
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: Pavelski still racking up wins American Century Championship. Favorite memory
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: of Joe Pevelski?
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: Did you have any id?
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: Was this good a golfer?
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 6: You probably did well.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: Can we go to Happy Gilmore first?
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Happy to go two?
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: Three? Then Happy Gilmore. Happy Gilmore will go into into PAVs.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah no.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: By the way, before, let me just prayable by this.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: I've had friends text me it's the worst way they've
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: seen in fifteen years. I said, why would you watch it?
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: You know it's a cash grab Unless you truly love
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: Adam Sandler. I feel like you're gonna give me a
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: better review of what of my friends said, go ahead.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: I you know, what do you expect? You saw what
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: I wrote on Twitter when this guy wrote. And you know,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: Adam Sandler plays on nostalgia and he plays on on
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: he plays the hits. I thought, man, his use of
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: his his daughters who are not actors is very tough.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: They just they aren't they, oh man? And and you
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: know the whole family thing with with with Bowen and
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: killing her and I know you have to have this
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: like sad thing and this comeback story. I just thought
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: it just did not have a place whatsoever. You know,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: it just it had some moments. But again we you know,
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: I watched it with my wife and she's looking over
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: and she's like, you're telling me you couldn't have found
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: somebody else to play this part other than all these
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: cameos of these people that don't act at all. And yeah,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: and and you're just you know, the Travis Kel season
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: The Bad Bad Bunny was awful, and and you know
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: you're trying to say, like, come on, like just give
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: somebody that you know, John Traturo was in Mister de
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: It's like, get a guy that can act, that can
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: that can play that role. Like, get somebody iconic, but
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: that can act, don't just cash grap And then when
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: they got to that Maxi golf thing that that match
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: against the other league was god awful and we were like,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: what the fuck is going on in this movie? Like
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: it completely went turned into like an animated movie. But
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: you know, some fun parts in it, and again it's nostalgic.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: You finish it and you're like, Okay, that was bad,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: but there are some nice things I saw. So it's
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: just one of those. It's the classic Adam Sandler movie.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: So you're not recommended this way. It's a bad film.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: You're saying if you like Adam Sandler and you like
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: grown Ups and it's basically grown Ups on steroids, you know,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: that's what it is, grown Ups two on steroids, where
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: it's every single one of his buddies minus you know,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: the Spades and the Rocks and and Kevin James. Those
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: guys aren't in it. But he's got a you know,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: Rob Schneider mix a cameo. It's just cameo after cameo.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just almostay, we go. The cameos are great.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: It's when you're telling me the cameos are great. When
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: you're hanging your hat on that, that means that the
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: movie's not pretty good.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: The funniest part of it was I thought Scotty Scheffler
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: was great. The golf guys are actually pretty funny. Scotty
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: Scheffler was good, Ricky Fowler, Xander Schoffli, those guys are
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: actually pretty funny, like the golf guys. So I enjoyed
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: that part of it. No Tiger would so thought he
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: would come in, but I just thought, overall, I thought
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: the golf guys, actually it was pretty funny, all right.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: The golf guy's the highlight. Speaking of golf guys, Joe Pavelski.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: Wow, amazing wins acc nine years in the making, does
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: it great? Segue by you? Ah, Yeah, he was. I
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: mean the best part of that whole win was when
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: he stiff armed one of his buddies coming to hug
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: him to get to his wife, and he like threw
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: him aside. I was dying laughing. But I mean, that
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: guy is fuck. Anything that guy does he's good at.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: It's just one of those weird things. He's such a
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: good golfer, you know, I'd love to see him really
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: make a push. I don't know, if he would. But
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: you know, he's so good, he's you know, but he's
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: also a huge hunter and fisherman, like loves doing both
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: those and big games getting out Yeah, uh no, he does,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: like duck hunting, fucking geese, geese hunting, you know what.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: The when they're coming like.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: Hey, we like going to Africa, Like I'm gonna go
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: big game hunting.

• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: This is a knife.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: This is a knife. That's not a knife. Yeah. Uh
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: I got a little Crocodile Dundee underrated. That's an underrated film.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure with the sequels though, Like Crocodile Dundee
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: three is just brutal.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: Every road on that.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: You know they're going to remake that at some point.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Hugh Jackman, he's Australian, he can do it.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: Hemsworth will come in. That's not a knife. Yeah, But
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: good for him. I I thought I was, you know,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: he's been really wanting when winning that for like nine
