  Speaker 3: mcgiver trying to figure out the perfect lighting.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Here's something to pick you up.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I said to my wife before we started, I said,
• 1:50

• 1:57
  Speaker 2: And I said, yeah. So this brings me to my
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: story of mistaken identity.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: So this is now.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: This happened in Chicago.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Was there for the Flames Blackhawks game and no less
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: than four people Astro security guard Sean Laws is that?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: And before I tell you who it is, would you
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: like to take a guess? He's a Hall of Fame
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: defenceman Chris Chillios. There it is.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: You look a bit like Chris Cillios. So your hair's
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: whispy like his, just a little bit up top.

• 2:24
  Speaker 1: me and Shane Nighter. The shirt.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: People like, hey, is that Chris Chellio's. Oh my god,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Chris shows Can I go me Chris? It's not Christellio's
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: And not even was like, dude, he goes once you
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: see it because now I can't unsee it, which makes
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: me my favorite story mistake and identity. I worked with
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Chelios in the World Cup twenty sixteen, me him and
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Brett Hall also auditioned by the way, Marty Saint Luis,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: who when I saw him as the habits go checko.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Do you remember twenty sixteen, esp is like, of course
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I know who you are. I didn't do well in
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: the audition. I didn't want the job anyways. My wife
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: wanted to be of the house. I go, Marty, it's
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: all worked out for you. Anyways, Chelio's and I worked
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: the first shift. He looks at me and kind of
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: gives me sad eyes, goes, we do kind of look alike.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Excuse me, he goes, My wife was watching the last night.

  Speaker 1: She goes, that guy looks a lot like you.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, hey, you never know, did it? You know?
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: I always looking for a third I.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Need I need to maximize that.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: So there's one guy, Chris Chelios and his wife would
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: would think about maybe bringing in the better would be
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: somebody that looks like him or exactly like.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: It's not gonna be like Owen Wilson. It asked me.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Somebody who's a reasonable fact simile exactly the same.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: So twenty eighteen Detroit Airport. I'm wearing a Canada hat,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: which you know. One thing about Chris chellis he hates Canadians.
• 3:26

  Speaker 2: Listen to NHL and script and subscribe, rate and review please,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: by the way, go to Apple Podcast, leave a comment,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: leave a review. I checked the Today's some nice comments,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: some nice reviews. Let's get more of those I appreciate,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: and let's get into the hockey. So in Calgary, sorry,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: in that game between the Calgary famous Chicago Blackhawks. As
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: you know, Jay, Chicago's having a terrible season. Cobra Dart's great.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: But there's not much there. But the anthem is great.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: It's not quite Chicago Stadium nineteen ninety four, but it's
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: a heck of an anthem.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Think if I said, you, dude, you gotta watch the
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: game on problem, like why like the anthem, the anthem slaps.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: That's all you need is anthem and then you get
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: the hell out of there before it goes and watch
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: you such a conoverdard Point. I mean I saw a
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: video of him. They were talking about, you know, he
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: got he hit one hundred points and they were like
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: interviewing him and he just looked like absolutely depressed. And
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: somebody was like, somebody's got to get this guy some
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: good players with him because this is getting bad. Like
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: you don't want them to. You know, we talk about
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: the Buffalo Sabers and everything, and we rag on him.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: But you know, when you have young guys and you
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: don't build a team around that, you can really kind
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: of elevate and at least be competitive night in a
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: night out. Not saying any of these guys that are
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: on the black Hawks are non NHL players.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: It's not a competitive process.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the makeup, the makeup just does not work. And
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: what happens is you learn how to lose, and that
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: is very hard to un learn because it's easy when
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: you learn how to lose, to find the way out
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: and just be like, ah, you know what, we don't
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: need this game. It's fine, and I'll get my points
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: and I'll get my contract and everything will be fine.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: So you always want to have some semblance of like
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: competitive edge. Like listen, the Sharks are struggling, but this
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: team works every night like they're they're trying, they're in games,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: they're giving it. And that's just a subtle plug for
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: the SJA Sharks.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: By the way, for those who't know, Demurs calling sixteen
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Sharks games in the radio, so makes you gave a
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: shot out.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: What are you gonna be on there Shark's audio network
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: tomorrow against the Columbus Blue Jackets, which we are talking
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: about them. It's a nice little segue into the Columbus
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Blue Jackets, who are on an absolute heater. I mean,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: San Jose just took down the seventh straight victorious Detroit
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Red Wings last night.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: All right, hold that thought before we get into the
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: mid season talk. I just one more thing on the
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Monday night, I wanted to mention Rory Karns.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: This is one of the stories you were we were
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: oh sorry, I jumped.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: We were going to Calgary Yeah, it's keep going to
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: and I got excited. I got excited.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Flames rookie Rory Karns posted a picture of himself as
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: a child wearing a Flames jersey a few weeks after
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: the team took him in the sixth round of the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty Draft.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I was there Monday night.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: It's on Monday, It's on Prime John for Is in
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: the Voice of Amazon, Pribe sees Rory Karn's collect two
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: assists in the first twelve minutes of the game. Sergey
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Macaroff also did that. And the Flames, by the ways,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: you know, Jay, they're offensively challenged. They scored five against
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: the Blackhawks.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I mean scoring five against him? Was ax scoring two
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: against teams? What is Flame?
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Still had a great story for Rory Karens. Take me
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: back to your debut.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: What was it like?
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Oh? My debut was in Colorado. I was minus one
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: and I'll never forget you know, the game. We won
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: the game five too. But the funniest thing is the
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: guy I get played with, Brendan Buckley in the AHL
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: the year before, and I always tell the story and
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: the next day I kind of, you know, we want them.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: I'm feeling good even though it was minus one whatever.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: And I just get a text from him and he goes, hey, man,
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: congrats on your first game. You're on pace for minus
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: eighty two. Good luck keep going. And I just went
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: you Son a bit, just immediately, just easy, yeah, right
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: back to earth. But I mean, yeah, right, it's a
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: great story Rory Karens, and I mean to assist. I
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: mean that's he's a good player, good offensive player, and
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: in the Wranglers and he's they've just found away Calgary,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Like they've a lot of guys that they've brought up
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: are performing and even though they're not scoring a ton,
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: they're finding ways to win. I mean, Huberto is their
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: leading score with like just over thirty points, which is wild.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: You don't see many teams you're looking at, like the
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Colorado's guys are at over sixty and but this team
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: just finds a way to win their Well, Coach, you
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: got Dustin Wolf, who's probably in the calder race. He's
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: on the outside a little bit looking in.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Hotson each cough, celebrainy then Wolf.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Wolf's there. I mean he's he's clipping at a
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: nine to sixteen save percentage. I started goals save percentageyet
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: and is you know, his goals against is good two
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: point five for you know, being on a team that
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: doesn't score much, and I would be giving him rookie consideration.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know exactly where he'll end up because celebrity's
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: heating up. And I mean I watch him. I've watched
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: him for five six games live, and you know, I
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: follow a lot of the Shark stuff. He's absolutely incredible.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: But Dustin Wolf, hats off to him and a young
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: guy coming in as a goal it's a tough job
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: in this league, especially your first year, to be playing
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: this many games and performing well.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: So we're talking with the factor at the mid season
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: mark right now, and arguably the best story of the
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: season has been the Columbus Blue Jackets. And I work
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: again with Jody Shelley on Amazon, your former teammate with
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the Stanosy Sharks, who once took umbradge how chatty you
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: were and put you in a word count you were
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: on either a bus or a plane and walk back
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: there and say, hey, Demurz, shut it, you got this
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: many more words to go was unbelievable. Demurz right now
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: is so offendy. He's actually left for a second, let
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: me finish business thought. But I asked Jody, who calls,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: you know, seventy Blue Jackets games? And I said, are
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: they legit? And he goes, yeah, I goes, it's the
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: best story.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: In hockey, are you kidding?
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: After the passing of Johnny Gudeaux offensive ineptitude, they have
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: the fifth most goals per game this season, and Zach Warnsky,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: along with Quinn Hughes, the only defense right now to
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: lead the team in scoring entirely.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Even Paul Coffee wasn't doing that.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Because you know, Gretzky messaged in a defenseman to lead
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: league scoring.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: As you said earlier, they may not even just.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Be like he's in the Norris Trophy conversation along with
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: a Cale mccarr, along with the Quinn Hughes, but he
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: also could be in the Heart Trophy conversation.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Wrensky is a big one to talk about. I mean,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: he's he's leads Columbus in points, leads him in assists,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: in power play points, he leads all d men in
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: shots with one hundred and seventy one this year, and
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: he's got seven points in five games when they're on
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: this little five point this five game heater. So for
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: all the stat nerds, there's some stat that's for your ass.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: But he's he's, He's that's a new segment coming to
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: the scripts.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Now for you.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: I just I love seeing a guy that, you know,
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: he really had some injury struggles, but you could see
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: the dynamic game that he has. You could see how
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: dominant he can be, and he's kind of seemed to
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: he seems to have found like the health the health factor,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: which is huge. You know, you know, I struggle with
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: a lot of injuries, and a guy like this that
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: is healthy, he can't help his team when he's when
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: he's off the ice injured. So he's been incredible. He
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: has to be obviously right now, he's my Norris Pick.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I love that Hughes had a Kale mccarr.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: It's him and Cale mccarr. Then obviously, I mean Cale
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: mccarr and Quinn are kind of tied. But I think
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Warensky's what he's doing. I mean, he's got Dante Fabreau's
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: deep partner, you know, Quinn Hughes also, you could argue
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: that there's been a lot of injuries and he's really
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: carried that team. But just what Warrensky has done with
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: this Columbus team. You know, we know the tragedy that
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: happened at the start of the year. They're now missing
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Sean Monahan's been out with an injury since January seventh,
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: you know, and he's just kind of carried this team
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: all year and it's absolutely incredible. I mean, for a
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: d men to lead the team in points is very
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: hard to do, uh, and especially leading your team in
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: points and having them in a playoff spot. So they
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: have a big game tomorrow night. You know, to not
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: take San Josa Sharks lightly, but this is a guy
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: that everybody needs to watch. And I think this Columbus team.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: The only thing that scares me is the road records
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: really bad. They've been their lights out at home, they're
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: fifteen to five and three.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: It's because the canon if they got a cannon, they're right.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: No Canadona, Yeah they can't. That's the thing. It's it's
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: they're very good at home and and that listen to
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Columbus fans when they get behind a team. It is
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: a fun building to play and it's very hard to
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: plan and I always hated playing in this building. But yeah,
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: it's an exciting team, and there just needs to be
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: somebody new like the eight. I feel like there's just
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: been too much. It's too redundant with the teams in
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: the playoffs. Let's get some new blood. Columbus, get your
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: ass in there, and maybe even Ottawa centers. But we're
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: gonna we're gonna stay off Outawa tonight. We're giving the
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: flowers to Columbus blue Jack.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: I love it teams that have exceeded expectations, Columbus, certainly
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: of the Washington Capitals.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: You've talked a lot about Ovenkin. It feels virtuill.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Certainly this point is a break Gretzky's record this year.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: He's on pace to it in late March, by the way.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: So he gets injured, he comes back, no problem. In
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: the meantime, as far as players again have been really great.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Renchky Nature's logan Thompson, Kevin Weeks loves. Every time I
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: talk to Weeks, he's just he's all in a logan
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Toms and he's had a great time to question too.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be negative now, Jay, but guys
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: who have disappointed Elias Peterson, Zabinijet, Jeff Skinner. I know
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: hockey's a tough game.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to deny you that, but those guys
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: have been disappointed.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, I feel bad pilot on Mika's avantajette. I mean,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: he isn't broke a he hasn't broke a sweat this season,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: and I mean I just talked about Jeff Skinner at
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: length with with Edmonton and listen, I watched those games
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: because I do a pod for them on the side,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: you know, once a week when I can do it,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: and he's he's played well, it just hasn't fit. Like
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: if he's not in the top six, that's not the
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: makeup they want for their team. They're very top so heavy.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: If you're in the top six on Edmonton, you really
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: have to produce. But if you're in the bottom six,
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: yes they want production out of you, but you have
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: to be kind of a driving and energy force, and
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: you know, you got to be a little bit of
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: a motor and Skinner's not really that type of game.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: You know, he's very much he's perimeterive. He can get inside,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: but he likes to slow things down a little bit
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: more than the Mattias jan Marks and and the Connor
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Browns and stuff like that. So it just hasn't fit.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: You know, it's not a knock on him or the team.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: It just I don't think the fits there, and I
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: think we all wanted it, Like you talk about like
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: other than the Nashville Predators when everybody was like they
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: won the off season. They won the off season, that's
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: you know they're gonna win the Cup and you know
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: they've been shit. But the Edmonton Oilers when they brought
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: in skin, everybody's like, that's one of the pickups of
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: the That's one of the pickups of the off season
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: in free agency is getting Jeff Skinner because if he
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: can score forty I mean, look out, deepest team they've
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: had in years, and it just hasn't worked out. So
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: it's not a knock. I just think sometimes it fits
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: not there. And you know the thing is is that
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: is Skinner gonna want to get out of there? I
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: think is no move. But is he really gonna waive
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: it to leave or is he gonna stay and say, listen,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be in the playoffs for the first time
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: in my career with this team and arguably a team
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: that's going to the finals because they look very good
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: right now. And you know, I don't see them not
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: being in the conference finals. So you know, Skinner might
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: just be like, hey, I might get my shot, get
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: in and have a chance at a cup.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: What do you got for second half? Something to look
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: forward to, specific player or team.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean Boston is one to watch because if
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: they don't make a move, and I do think they're
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: going to take a swing. It's just it's a matter
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: of time. It's not an if it's a win. But
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: you know, they're minus twenty one goal differential and they're
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: in the second one in the first wildcard spot. So
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: I don't like the way they're playing at all. I
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: don't think they have enough to make the playoffs, so
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: I think they'd be out. They're gonna fall out if
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: they don't make a move. Now, I think Sweeney's gonna
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: take a swing because it's his ass on the lane,
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: that's for sure.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know what this thing is your deal, but
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I like it the inflex a little.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're in a little bit.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: You know, you gotta swinging.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Has an eight ninety five save percentage this year. Yeah,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: first bet of an eight year, sixty six million dollar contract.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: We Corey Schneider. You know, talks a lot on the
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: NHL Network about a goalie. It's so important for him
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: to get the preseason and training camp because if you
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: don't get it, you're a little bit behind, and then
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: you're chasing it. You're chasing it. You really need those reps.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: And he didn't get it, and it just the whole
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: team looks out of sorts. We thought they're going to
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: get a coaching bump by Fire Montgomery. You know, I go.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Thirteen, ten and five, like it was there a little bit.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Now it's yeah, it was a little it was there
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: a little bit, but you know, I don't think again
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: it was the issue wasn't coaching. So like even if
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: you look at Montgomery and Saint Louis, like they had
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: they had a little bit coaching bump, and now they
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: kind of slumped a bit and they've been kind of
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: a little bit up and down. But you know, I
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: think it's it's that's a team for sure, and then
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: the other team is you know, I just watched a
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: video on on them talking on Bill Armstrong talking about Utah,
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: like Utah going to Utah.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: I love Tourny, great guy, Montreal guy, Quebec guy. Great.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Who's that they're head coach.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Oh touring eight. I just you said it wrong, So
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: just say it twenty that's what you say. It's not
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: how you say.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: But well it's okay, let's get it right.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: If we're gonna say somebody from from Quebec, okay, uh No,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: I mean he's on. I think he's under the hot
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: seat for sure, because I love the guy.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: I just buried him.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: I like him too. I think he's now is he
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: the is he the coach of the future of this team?
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I'm not a hunt. I don't know, because they have
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: so much talent and he's been there for a long time,
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: and we know how the NHL is right now. It's
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: it's so sad to be a coach in the NHL
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: because you don't haven't you don't have a chance.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Like if you're should be three years, it's more like
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: two and a half.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: It's to if that that we're getting coaches getting axt
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: twelve games in and somehow Lindy Rough still in the league.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: But anyway, I digress, Donnie, we need Don Grenado in
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: there with Tony Grenado and Cammy Grenado, the whole family coaching.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: But no, I think I just think it's tough because
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: and Bill Armstrong said, he like said nobody it was
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: kind of a funny. It was a little bit of
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: a stupid code. But he's like, I kind of like that.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Nobody knows if we're buyers or sellers, so we can
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: kind of swing from the hip and we can take
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: a swing and we have the assets. And I'm like, okay,
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: you guys are you have to be buyers because you
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: can't waste another year of this core. And you have
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: all these draft picks. You know. I talked with Phil
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Kessel and he said something great the other day and
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: he goes, you have all these draft picks, what are
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: you gonna do? So if you go out and draft
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: a bunch of guys in the first round again, and
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: he's one hundred percent right. So now you have a
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: whole nother wave of young guys coming in. You already
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: have the core, you have it, it's there, it's locked up.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Surround them with people, And how do you get that
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: in trade? You're not going to get in a free
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: agency because I don't know how, I don't know how
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: desirable Utah is for free agencies. You need to get
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: into trade, So use some of those draft picks, bring
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: in a guy, bring in a center they needed, bona
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: fide number one center, Sell some first round draft picks,
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: and go get a cup or at least a playoff
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: berth because they have looked awful of late and they
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: just can't find a win and they're slowly falling out
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: of it and they kind of do that every year.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: So they got to make a move here.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I like it. It's a team not many peill talk
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: They'll love there at least a focus on Utah moving forward,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: the Utah Hockey Club in their first season.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: There r Pornier torn Ye torn Yi.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Coming up next.

  Speaker 2: Jesus Fantastic, the Spanish language voice of the Vegas Golden Knights.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: He has an incredible backstory how he left Mexico and
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: how exactly he came to be a hockey guy. Not
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: something you'd expect. It's not something he would expect. You're
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: gonna love his story. Jesus Lopez, the voice the Vegas
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Golden Knights.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Right now and unscripted.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: What a pleasure of bringing in the Spanish language voice
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: of the Vegas Golden Knights and one of just three
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Spanish played by play commentators in the NHL. It is
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Jesus Lopez, who has been with the team since they
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: began playing twenty seventeen, twenty eighties, become a staple of team.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: The only thing more incredible than his signature calls near
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: might be the stribf Hey, he came to this team
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: in the first place.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Welcome Hazy Slopez, Thanks much for joining us here on unscripted.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Thank you for having me. Thank you very much, guys,
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: thank you all.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Right after that intro, I have to now find out
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: the story.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: How exactly did you become the voice of the Golden Knights.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: I was lucky enough to have that chance. Well, mister
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: Bill Foley was We were holding a video conference who
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: was in New Zealand when he announced that he was
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: very happy for partnership with Lotus Broadcasting since we have
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: you know, at that time it was ESPN de portis
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: So and that he wanted the Hispanic community involved with
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: the vehicles Golden Knights. So I had experience doing play
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: by play for soccer in Mexico and boxing matches also,
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: I saw it as a great opportunity and I just
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: walked into the edit bay and start recording demos. Gave
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: him to my boss and asking Tony Bonici send them
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: to the Knights and see if they can give me
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: the chance, you know, to do the play by play.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: But I didn't say anything to anybody. I did. I
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: did it in secrecy, to tell you the truth, and didn't.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, I really wanted to give that chance. So
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: that's that's how I started. And eventually Tony asked me,
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: why don't you do your soccer you know, there's something missing.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: Why don't you do your soccer call, you know, soccer
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: goal call. So I started, you know, calling the goal
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: soccer style and long and then and yeah, and that's
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: how it started. And eventually some of those goal calls
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: mean went viral. That's how the whole thing started.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Harner ran saying who did hockey in Canada and Punjabi
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: in CBC and Canada said part of the challenge was
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: that certain words you couldn't translate to Punjabi. He's like,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: you know, I just had to say icing, So certainly
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: when you're translated to Spanish there's certain hockey terms. I'm
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: sure that happens sometimes.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, No, No, I mean I used the word
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: icing because that's what it is, you know, And and uh,
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: and then but we have done some videos explaining to
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: our community the rules of hockey. You know, what's anising,
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: you know, and different kind of slashing, holding, tripping when
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: it's offside, and it's very similar to soccer, so it
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: was really really easy to understand, very very similar.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: You you mentioned Bill Foley in this Night's team that's
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: trying to grow the Hispanic audience, and what have you
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: noticed since you've been there in terms of Hispanic speaking
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: audience that have taken to the Golden Knights, and you
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: do you kind of take credit for that and are
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: you proud to see it growing, you know, year over year.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: I think I think the most important part is that
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: the Vegas Golden Knights came to Las Vegas when we
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: needed the most, because it was right after October the
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: first you know what happened in that country concertifty eight
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: people died. The first game for the Vegas Golden Knights
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: professionally happened in October the tenth, right after the shooting
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: the Mandola from the Mandola Bay, and it became like
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: the the heill, you know, like the medicine that the
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: city needed at that very moment, because it was a
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: very awful moment in the history of Las Vegas and
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: the worst massacre in the history of the United States.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: So everybody was like quiet, you know, like like you
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: could feel there was an intangible feeling of pain wherever
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: you go in Las Vegas. So the Vegas Golden Knights
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: came at the right time, but they deliver way more
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: than just the healing. This team gave identity to the
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: people from Las Vegas. We brought the whole community together
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: and this is a city where you can find people
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: from all over the world. And something that made that
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: magical connection was precisely what the Vegas Golden Knights did
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: through the whole season. That was, you know, honoring those
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: first responders, you know, firefighters, police and nurses, doctors, body
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: that had something to do with what happened in that
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: terrible day. So the Vegas Golden Knights became like like
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: the shield. I remember that I was in Edmonton during
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: the playoffs and I was being interviewed by one of
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: the radio stations in Edmonton and the guy was kind
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: of you know, you could feel that they didn't like
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: Las Vegas very much, and they and they asked me,
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: you know what about that is the Hispanic community very
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: familiar with the logo because I had the pin on
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: my on my suit, you know, And and I go,
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: what logo? Yeah, the logo that you were on your
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: on your this is not a logo. And then it
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: says what it is? What is it? Then? This is
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: the shield that protects our city. That's what it is.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: It's way more than just a logo. So that was
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: the connection, not only with the Hispanic, with everybody. You know,
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: you can walk into a supermarket Mexican and supermarket. We
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: have a lot of them here in Las Vegas. After all,
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: it's almost a million in Spanish speaking people here in
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: Las Vegas. And everybody's wearing you know, scar for a
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: hat or something that has to do with the Vegas
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: Golden Knights, and with all due respect, way more acceptance
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: than the Raiders had, you know. And and and it's
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: more identity Vegas Golden Knights than anything else. So we
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: start to create videos about the rules, explaining, you know,
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: trying to entertain. I have this little guy that helps
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: me a lot.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: That we have this guy that helps me all the time.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: What's his name?
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: His name is Chewy Hey, Chewie.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: How are you hey?
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: How are you doing, Loco?
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: How's it going, Chewie? Can you say you're listening to unscripted?
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm listening to unscripted. What is that that's for
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: you to find out? Okay, let's do this. Well, that's
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: what it is, you know. And this is the fellow
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: that I have that always use for explaining the rules
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: and becomes you know, entertaining. It gives a little touch
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: of what Las Vegas is about. And it's easy when
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: you have an organization like the Vegas Golden Knights behind you,
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: because they're always like, what do you need his us?
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: What do you need his us? You have Nate Ewell,
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: you have Eric Tosey, you have all those guys that
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: are always there. And and also I have a great teacher,
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: you know, Dan Duva. He's been magnificent with me. Every
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: single doubt you know that I had about rules or something,
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: Dan Duva was always there. Dave goacher, Shane Idy is
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: just a great team. It's just a great team. So
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: they made it really easy for me, and and and
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: the rest is just enjoying the play by player.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Love the sheriff Shane Iy, great guy. It's just you
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: left Mexico in twenty eleven. This is not acision that
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: you came to lightly. What precipitated that move?
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: Well, I I never thought that I was going to
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: come back to the States to begin with. You know,
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: my family's been in the pizza business for over forty
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: five years. In two thousand and nine, we had a
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: problem with one of the cartels. They kidnapped one of
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: my brothers, so we had to sell a lot of
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: assets to pay the ransom, and then they start They
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: tried twice to get my daughter. She was eighteen at
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: that time, so we didn't have much left, you know,
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: to pay in case of another another kidnapping, you know,
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: And I told my wife, you know what, I'm going
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: to go to the United States. I'm going back. I've
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: been residents since eighty eight. I was a resident since
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: eighty eight. So I came. I came here, and I
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: was doing in Mexico this TV show for free for
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: a friend of mine, because he gave me all of
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: the advertising for free for our pizza places. Right, So
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: it was a quip ro quo kind of thing. And
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: I came to an expot here in Las Vegas, and
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: I met people from ESPN de Porties. So I called them, hey,
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: you know what I need. I need to leave. If
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: I don't, if I don't leave, most likely I'm not
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: gonna last one more week. And and they gave me
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: the chance over here in Las Vegas. That's that's how
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: I left everything behind. So at that point we had over,
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: you know, over thirty stores, pizza stores all over the
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: state of Jalisco, which is on the Pacific coast. I
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: don't know if you are familiar with Puerto Ayata, but
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: that is on the state of Alisco. And leaving everything
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: but he is not easy, you know, and and knowing
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: all of the obstacles that you can find in another country,
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: especially for my kids, it's it's it's very hard. It's
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: it's hard, but you know, leaving everything behind, a beautiful home,
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: a very nice life, and all of a sudden you
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: are in one bedroom with your whole family. But we
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: were thankful that we were alive. So we started it
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: from the scratch again. And uh, that's why I left
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: Mexico and started working at ESPN de Portis.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, listen your story. I commend everything you've you've
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: been through and where you've gotten and you know, just
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: getting to the hockey side, and you calling games, and
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: as someone who really does represent hockey for Spanish speaking audience,
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: is there a special moment. I know you touched on
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: the Stanley Cup, but for you personally, that meant so
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: much to call that and bring the game to people
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: who might not, you know, otherwise follow hockey.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: It's it's too much of a passion not to share
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: it with our people, you know, and doing it in
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: the right way, being able to deliver three hours of
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: pure adrenaline because that's what it is, and you don't
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: find out and I mean probably in basketball you can
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: find that kind of adrenaline because of the pace of
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: the of the sport, but hockey is totally different. And
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: then you know when they're when there are fights and
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: and you know, on the ice, I take advantage of that,
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: you know what. You know, those kinds of.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Things got me there. I was I was gonna start
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: swinging on you there.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: I just made it sound like a real match, you know.
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: And because for the Latino community, with all due respect,
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: it's not about just the play by play, they had
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: to be entertained. It has to be entertaining that it
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: needs that spice on the play by play that you know,
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: it will make you laugh or make you very angry
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: or make you just I have some some uh listeners
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: that you know, during the game they text me, hey,
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: you know what, you made me drop my tequila when
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: you you call that goal, you know, and and and
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: things like that and and so that's that's a that's
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: a very different it's a very different passion hockey and
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: people people is loving it, you know. And and and
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: also everything that Vegas all the Knights have done. A
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: few months ago, we went to Mexico City, We went
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: to Metepec and then to Monterey, Mexico to do all
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: these clinics, and it was amazing that a lot of
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: kids didn't have the chance to do it because every
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: single category was packed. I mean, they weren't expecting what
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: they saw in Metepec, the amount of people that follows
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: hockey in Mexico. There's a small league in Mexico, and
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: and it's just growing and it's gonna keep on growing
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: because now technology allows you to have eyes whatever you want.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Hazus Lopez, the Spanish Times Voice the Vegas Golden Knights,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: I want a thirty second answer.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: What is unique and special about this year's team.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I want a thirty second answer. What is
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: unique and special about this year's team?
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: Well, that all of them score, Every single line scores,
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: you know, and the comment that I get a lot,
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: it's that everybody wants to come and play the Vegas
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: because it's a beautiful city to play in. You're a
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: nice but you're still in the desert, and but you
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: will never feel the kind of winter that you feel
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: in Canada.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: So that's true.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: That's a thirteen second answer.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: That was excellent, Hazus Lopez, the Spanish language voice of
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: the Vegas Golden Nights. You've had an amazing story to
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: get here and continue success.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Hazeus to your family, this was awesome.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Guys, thank you, thank.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: You so much.
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: Jesus, well, honestly, that was amazing stuff out of Jesus.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Honestly an incredible Baxter of what he's overcome to get here.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Speaking of overcoming, we all know the devastation of these
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles wildfires. Even our producer, our dear friend, tell
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: he's close to it. Blake bouldenhead work on Amazon Prime.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: He has had some family affected by it. This has
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: been a horrific situation. However, you do get some stories
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: of genuine heroes La King's team, surgeon Chester Griffiths, who
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: has been with the team for over twenty years. Jay
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: he led his son and neighbor in a battle against
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: the blaze in Malibu that lasted five nights. He performed
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: brain surgery in nearby Santa Monica. So someone says that,
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: what are you a brain surgeon?
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: I am.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: He got in his car, raced to his beach front
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: home in Malibu, where he rebriefed his son and next
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: door neighbor on the course of actions.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Fire swirling eighty mile prior winds quickling in the neighborhood.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: They used water hoses and spades to fight the flames
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: for four days and five nights.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: That is unbelievable.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I watched the video on it. It's you know,
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: it's so tough because if you're not directly involved, it's
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: so hard to kind of have an understanding of what
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: people are actually going through. So I've been trying to
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: watch as many videos and try to you know, really
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: grasp this because it's you know, it's not super close
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: to home for me, but it's you know, the people
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: that I know, tal and and watching people that have
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: a connection to hockey, but also just everybody in general
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: that suffered is crazy. And to think that they stayed
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: there amidst all that blaze I was. I saw in
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: the video, like he bought all the fire hose equipment,
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: he bought all the fire gear, firefighter equipment, he bought
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: a bunch of flame retard and stuff. And you know
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: his son's talking about the second night. They're just battling
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: this at night, not sleeping. You can hear the video
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: of them talking. Their voices are so raspy from taking
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: in all the smoke, and the smoke in relation so
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: absolute heroes, you know, probably not only save themselves but
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: save so many people in so many people's homes, and
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: just staying up all night, you know, fighting the blaze.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: It's it's crazy, man, It's it's harrowing to think that
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: something like that can happen and affects so many people
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: so close to home. But seeing stories like that, it's
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: always it's power of the human experience a little bit, right.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like they say, not all heroes were cape So
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: we wanted to lo Chester Griffis La kingsertion remarkable work.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: He's doing there.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Great to have here for the first time. An NHL
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: unscripted Nick Alberga. He's the host and director of Leif's
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Morning Take, as well as the host of the NHLF
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Fantasy on Ice podcast. You're in the thick of Leaves Station, Nick, Amazon,
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: probably there on Monday lightning Leaf's massive game. Toronto's had
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: a great stret They might be first in the division,
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: but they've lost three straight games. People criticizing the fact
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: they used to be an exciting, fun team. Now they're
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: defensive oriented. Lately, they haven't been winning. What's going on
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: right now in Toronto? People seem to be freaking out?
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: Well, first and foremost, it's great to be with you guys.
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: Do you recall the last time Tampa and Toronto got
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: together in Amazon? What happened in that game?
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: My friend, I was gonna say, there was some Well,
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: it didn't go well for Leafland.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: How's that?
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: No, it was a beatdown if you recall that. I
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: think it was the very first Amazon game of the
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: year Toronto and Tampa.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: And the least very good.
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: Nick added it was an ass whooping. Can I say
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: that on this You can't?
• 37:14
  Speaker 7: Oh, I love it.
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: That's the one game guys, I remember and sort of
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: highlight throughout this season where I know the Leafs can
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: get to like Tampa came into town on a Monday
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: night and it was like a dominant effort. So I'm
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: glad that you brought that up because I'm expecting the
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: Leafs are perfect on Amazon Prime.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: By the way, well you know that's Tony you mentioned
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: because Winnipeg was unbeaten and then the Leafs beat them
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: in Winnipeg on Amazon PROMI so you're right, there's something
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: mojo about that.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: But what do you make of that comment?
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: The Leafs have, you know with Burubi, more physical, right,
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: more defensive oriented, less sizzle?
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: You okay with that?
• 37:47
  Speaker 7: I am.
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: I was gonna throw it to you guys as well
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: in that conversation. We have reached the dog days of
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: the regular season. Boys, I don't know any other way
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: to put it. I woke up today, I'm like, it
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: is January fifteenth. I'm looking forward to the Four Nations.
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: But when you cover a team like the Maple Leafs,
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: so you don't want to think anything is a foregone conclusion.
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: But they're going to the Stanley Cup playoffs. Boys, Jason
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: how did you deal with this time of year? Because again,
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: not to insult the integrity of HOBS Nation, right now
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: they've won ten of the last thirteen games. There is
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: this weird belief that team is making the playoffs. Guys,
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: tell me, I'm telling you right now, they're not making
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: the playoffs. Wow, I think guys are checked out right now.
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: Guys who are going to the playoffs say, like, you know,
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: like a Vegas or an Edmonton or Toronto, I think
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: you have more of a tendency to drop games you
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: shouldn't this time year.
• 38:34
  Speaker 7: It's a long season, man, it's a grind.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: Well right now, you know, when I always got to
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: these points, especially with the good teams, you start giving
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: yourself little deadlines, like four nations. It's like ten twelve
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: games away, let's get to four nations. And once we
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: get to four nations, let's get to the next milestone.
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: And then it's just kind of you really start chopping
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: it up into like four segments of ten games, because otherwise,
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: if you're like you look at forty and you come
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: in the room, it's like, oh my god, Like this
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: is just so you'll see the top teams kind of,
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: you know, they'll muddle around five hundred, and you'll see
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: like these teams that are chasing the playoffs spot get hot.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: And then after four nations, you'll see it just there'll
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: be a separation because guys will be rested and they'll
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: be kind of certing to gear up for the playoffs.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: So you'll see kind of teams drought, like you said,
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: drop some games that they shouldn't drop, and you'll just
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: be like, oh my god. It's like every year, Oh
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: my god, Like the Buffalo Sabers are great, they might
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: make the playoffs, and oh my god, like Montreal's great,
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: and then it's just chasm right after so's it's it's tough.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: It's you really need a good makeup of guys in
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: the room, especially this time of year.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: One team nick that's the Stanley Cup contended, no question
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: about its Winnipeg Jets. It came out to that incredible
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: start and Connor Hallibuck seems destined to win not only
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: his third vest and trophy. But you think you can
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: make a case for a goalie winning the heart shades
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: of Joseh Theodore, make that.
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: Case, guys. I was so excited to come on this
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: podcast today. I actually spent some time doing some research,
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: first ever time in my career.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: I love this.
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: I look back to the last couple of Heart Trophy
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: winners when it comes to goalie, specifically, the last guy
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: to do it, some guy named Kerrie Price. He was
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: pretty good at goal tending fourteen fifteen, played sixty six games.
• 40:07
  Speaker 6: He was forty four sixteen and six A one point
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: nine to six, A nine to thirty three.
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: So we got Hellibuck here.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: At one point ninety six.
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: It's insane, crazy, But listen to these numbers. Twenty seven
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: six and two A one point nine to nine in
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: this era of NHL hockey is insanity to me. You know,
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: the shutouts speak for themselves, and he's on pace for
• 40:29
  Speaker 6: sixty four appearances. Now, it's no disrespect to guys like
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: dry Saddle, McKinnon, McDavid. I throw caprizov it in that conversation.
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: I think this is going to be fun down the stretch.
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: But if there's a year for a goaltender to be worthy,
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: I would say of being at least in the conversation,
• 40:44
  Speaker 6: it's Hellibuck. And last I checked, he's he's co favorite
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: to win this award right now, and rightfully so he's
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: been that good and that important Winnipeg boys.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: I love that research. But here's a concern Nick.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Come playoff time. That's what Helly gets lead. You just
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: play him sixty four games and he took it.
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: You took it out of my mouth. He's like he's
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: going to win the heart all to lose in the
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: first round.
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: Out, Well, that's the case. He's like the leafs right,
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: like he just the two teams. Yeah, like Winnipeg couldn't
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: put it together last year. Like that was the weird
• 41:13
  Speaker 6: thing for me is like he wins the Vesnan Trophy,
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: they get to the playoffs and they lose their identity.
• 41:18
  Speaker 6: But it just shows you there's no connection between the
• 41:20
  Speaker 6: regular season and the postseason.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: Right, especially when pressure mounts and you get down early
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: in a series. And that's kind of what's been the
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: mo Is. They get blown out Game one and then
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden they panic quick, and I mean
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: Toronto's a different serve. Those are the two teams I
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: tell everybody, like, wake me up in April, like I'll
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: see in April. I'll see when you get what we
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: get there, because they're gonna win the awards, the accolades,
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: but I want to talk about a guy that is
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: kind of in my He's tickling the heart trophy for
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: me right now? Is zach Warenski a little bit.
• 41:51
  Speaker 7: Filthy? Filthy?
• 41:52
  Speaker 6: And I get it right, Like the conversation is going
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: to be a lot about mccarr at quinn Hughes is
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: having another great year with the Vancouver Canucks. But maybe
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: it's just to my country guys. And obviously you know,
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: the Canadian contingent on the podcast is not short for sure,
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: but in Canada, nobody is talking about zak Warensky, Like.
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: Nobody like American.
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Like I always like to think, you take this
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: guy off the roster, what does that team look like again?
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: With the duist to respect the Kareil Marchenko and Dmitri Veronkov,
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: those guys have been studs this year. So is Sean
• 42:23
  Speaker 6: Monahans good? Yeah, you take Lorensky off that roster. I
• 42:28
  Speaker 6: don't think they're even sniffing around a playoff spot right now.
• 42:30
  Speaker 6: Like I think the big story with them is Dean Evison.
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: They're scoring goals like crazy, they can't keep the puck
• 42:35
  Speaker 6: out of their own net, and that's my concern I
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: think moving forward with Columbus. But you look at the
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: numbers specifically on Arensky. We know sometimes maybe it should
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: be an offensive award, but in recent memory it has
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: been fifteen goals fifty points. He's on pace for twenty
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: eight goals and ninety three points. Boys, And this by
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: far would be the best season of Zakwarensky's career. And
• 42:54
  Speaker 6: I'll be honest, I've probably kick started this campaign because
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: prior to the year plus ten thousand ticket on zak
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: Warensky to win the Norst.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: Wow, that was it for the Norris.
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you put a few duckets down on that nick,
• 43:09
  Speaker 6: a couple of bucks on cheap boys.
• 43:10
  Speaker 7: I'll be honest if you.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: Told me you put a few shots down that thing,
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: that's a serious like, wow.
• 43:15
  Speaker 7: What fifty bucks?
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: You know what? Which I talked about it before, and
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: I feel like and not talked about stat I know
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: it listened for defenseman. But he's leading all Dan shots.
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: He's got one hundred and seventy one shots through forty
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: one games. That is getting the puck through to the
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: net and giving yourself an opportunity, giving your team an
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: opportunity to score is so important. And he just finds
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: a way to get to the net night. I didn't
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: mention it when we talked about before, but he looks
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: effortless out there like it just he doesn't look like
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: he's trying. He's playing twenty six to thirty minutes a night.
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: It's criminal how this guy's not talked about enough.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: And the Calder Race Nick, it feels like early on
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: was to his Matt Beamach Goff, the Macklin cel Brady
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: from Demerses Sharks.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: Lane Hodson is defence with the Habs.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: Could you make a case of another guy, maybe Dustin
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: Wolf of the Flames.
• 43:59
  Speaker 7: Yes, this is another one that's caught my eye.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: And I love your goalie, right I rag.
• 44:03
  Speaker 6: On goalies usually, like I have like a whole spiel
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: on goaltenders how they're allergic to the crease. But that's
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: a story for a different podcast. Maybe there's just so
• 44:10
  Speaker 6: many guys I'm headhunting right now in this league. Get
• 44:12
  Speaker 6: in the crease, you get eight million bucks a season.
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: I digress Dustin Wolf. Guys has to be on the
• 44:18
  Speaker 6: short list right now for the Calder Trophy fifteen six
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: and two a two point five nine to win six
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: two shoutouts for me. The more staggering thing is is
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: the flames Is record without him, there's six nine and five,
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: very very pedestrian, and I just think you look at
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: his body of work, I think he deserves to be
• 44:34
  Speaker 6: in that conversation. There's gonna be a lot of love
• 44:36
  Speaker 6: because of LaBelle Provence and Lane Hudson and this and that.
• 44:39
  Speaker 6: The guy's a forward playing defense, let's face it, but
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: he's in the running for this award. The last goalie
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: to win this this the Calder Trophy from my hometown
• 44:47
  Speaker 6: of Voake, full Ontario. Steve Mason back a stone Mason
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: with the stone the Mason.
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: Listen, you're giving a lot of flowers. But I like
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: when you rag on people. I do say every now
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: and again, I do stare at ear your Twitter when
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: you go off on somebody. So, who's a big disappointment
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: for you this season? In the Eastern Conference?
• 45:10
  Speaker 6: S benezet Eastern Conference? Can I bomb the entire New
• 45:14
  Speaker 6: York Rangers?
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: Go for it?
• 45:16
  Speaker 7: Like it's it's so wild to me?
• 45:19
  Speaker 6: Like and I understand, Like, I think chemistry is just
• 45:21
  Speaker 6: so big in professional sports and JD you could speak
• 45:24
  Speaker 6: to that obviously having been in a room, but like,
• 45:26
  Speaker 6: I don't understand how you go from two wins away
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: to going to the Stanley Cup Final to being an
• 45:32
  Speaker 6: absolute train wreck. And I think I know what's going on.
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: It's just like the PR nightmare there. I'd love to
• 45:37
  Speaker 6: get a job in PR run the New York Rangers
• 45:39
  Speaker 6: right now because it's been an absolute disaster, entire fire,
• 45:42
  Speaker 6: how they've ran things like imagine being a player in
• 45:45
  Speaker 6: that room and the rumor comes out that, oh, I'm
• 45:48
  Speaker 6: on the trade block like ak Chris Crider aka you
• 45:51
  Speaker 6: know a truba and now's the Banajad's name is out there?
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: Like it's been a train wreck. I would I would
• 45:57
  Speaker 6: say in general, like the New York Rangers, I think
• 45:59
  Speaker 6: Igor's just stroking is on is on my short list.
• 46:02
  Speaker 6: In fact, we're going to talk about that in the
• 46:03
  Speaker 6: NHL Fantasy and Podcast. I just talk about the disc
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: Thank you. I try my best there, but disappointments like Shasterkin,
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: I think for for the money he just got paid,
• 46:12
  Speaker 6: hasn't lived with expectation. Ditto for Adam Fox. So you
• 46:16
  Speaker 6: can go across the board with the Rangers boys.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: This was awesome stuff and a Nick Alberger he's the
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: host and director of Least Morning take as well as
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: the host of The NHLF Fantasy on his podcast, Nick
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: This was great man, ten solid minutes.
• 46:27
  Speaker 7: Love you my pleasure.
• 46:28
  Speaker 6: You know what I did, come by here to talk
• 46:30

• 46:42
  Speaker 6: He's at the top being a Blue Jays fan. I'm
• 46:44
  Speaker 6: just putting that out there. I'm like the biggest baseball
• 46:46
  Speaker 6: guy you can find.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 46:47
  Speaker 6: I love that about Wort growing up. I'm just so finished.
• 46:51
  Speaker 6: I'm so defeated. I won't lie.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: No, they might get Sasaki. No, they got je Hoffman.
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: I feel like they add. I feel like they add.
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: They add three, like two other teams that have no
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: chance of getting these guys, just to just to be
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: a little bit of that's the blue Jays. Every time his.
• 47:11
  Speaker 6: Agent play one oh one, and for some reason the
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: Jay's are just back in the conversation.
• 47:16
  Speaker 7: Ever, but I digress. This is not a baseball podcast.
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: That's an everything pod.

  Speaker 2: a lot than that, you guys, Nick Alberga. But the
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: fact he didn't research kidding me, he had his Connor
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: Helli Buck notes ready to go. He had his Dust
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: and Wolf notes, Jay, you and I do other podcasts.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I put in research when I
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: go into the podcast, I kind of shoot from the hip, right,
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: what do you want to ask me? But the fact
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: he brought it Alberga, I mean on Hill, he's gonna
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: be repeak Eston run.
• 47:58

• 48:16
  Speaker 2: spot here an NHL unscripted. So they'd standing performance by
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: male actor and a lead role. And let's be honest,
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: somebody really gives a crap about the SAgs. Just how
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: does it impact the Academy Awards, Because now the nominations
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: have been pushed back, they're supposed to be January seventeenth,
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: They'll not be January twenty third, and of course the
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: Oscars will take place. We hope our second fingers crossed.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: So what does this mean, you say, the SAG Awarts.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: How does this impact the Oscars? Well, I think the
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: five Actors nominee for Best Actor of the SAgs will
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: be the five Actors nominie for Best Actor at the Oscars.
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: Adrian Brodie right now is the favorite for the brutalist
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: Timota Shalome Tal's favorite for Bob Dylan, Daniel Craig for
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: queer James Bond playing a gay man hooked up on
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: Heroin in the nineteen fifties. Sign me up, Coleman Domingo
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: in Sing Sing and Ray finds your guys, You.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: Said, conclave, bunch of popes poping. Well, here's where it
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: gets interesting.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: The Best Performance by Female Actor and Lead Role. I
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: do not believe these will be the nominees the Academy Awards.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: I do believe my girl, Mikey Madison and I've championed
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: Honora from the beginning, despite you disparaging it as saying
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: the first forty five minutes was blow nui, before saying
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: you enjoyed the rest of the film.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: Nobody for tal the tell's gonna like it more than you.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be with me like dude do. Nora is
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: a great movie.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: Mikey Madis is the favorite to win the Oscar to
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: Me More though won the Golden Globes, And now we
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: got a two horse race here this woman. This is
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: the first major award Demi Moore's forty five year career.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: So did you go Mikey Madison young new breakthrough actress
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: or do you give to me More? Basically the Lifetime
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: Achievement Award. Then you get the two of the slots,
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: which I do think will be at the Oscars. Carlos
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: Sophia Gascon Familia Press. She's gonna make a history, first
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: ever transactor nominated for Best Actress.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: That's going to happen. And Cynthia Riva for Wicked, which
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: wasn't I wasn't crazy about Alphaba.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: Here's the nomination the SAgs Day, which will not be
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: at the Oscars, but I love to the SAgs do this.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: They zig once in a while. Pamela Anderson for the
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: Last Girl.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: So she got nominated for a Golden Globe and I'll
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: tell you this, Shay, I actually really liked the movie.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: It was written by a first time screenwriter's directed by
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: Gia Coppola, who is in the.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: Copola family obviously, and I like Daye Batista plays like
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: the love interest. He plays with this heavy.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: Set, muscular, angry bastard and there's got some good interesting.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: The worst part of the movie was ostie Pamela Anderson.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: Now I thought she was fine, but I'm sure you
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: love The Wrestler as much as I do. I adore
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: that film. Darren Aranovsky, Mickey Rorick, great movie. The Last
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: Show Girl was like the female version of The Wrestler Agent.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, no, I love The Wrestlers incredible, so
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: I'm watching I go okay. So basically they must have
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: watched The Wrestler a bunch of times ago. Let's make
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: this a female version rather than Mickey Rourke all bulked up.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: It's Pamela Anderson. Whoever would have thought the pride.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: Of Vancouver, British Columbia, known for running around a red
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: bathing suit. Well, one day I get a Golden Globe
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: nomination for Best Actress and a drama. But it's not
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: gonna happen. It's a nice story because it is exactly
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: what you expect. She's the last show girl Vegas strip,
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: the show's closing down.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: She's looking at her life.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: She was a bad mother, she was, you know, delinquent,
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: all these things and you know reflect list. I actually
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: think it's a good script in a good movie. I
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: just didn't think she was pickarly strong. But am I
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: happy for of course? Can I didn't get some love?
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: Who do you think takes it home?
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: So I think I think no, I think it's a
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: two horse race. I originally thought Mikey Madison was gonna win.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: The actress Oscrea. I do think to me, Moore is
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: going a great case. And this has happened many a time.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: I mean I remember of the year Glenn Close has
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: never won an Academy Awards seven time nominee, nominated for
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: a film called The Wife, which was okay, it was
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: fairly average, and they go, well, she's gonna wink the
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: Life of Achievement Award, and then what happened.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: Olivia Coleman won for the Favorite and I was like.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: What Because they love their British actresses, and she even
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: she was stunned. So there's this feeling right now that
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: hate to me more at the substance crazy movie crazy
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: you you guys have to watch it. I cannot wait
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: to discuss your the podcast. But I still think Mikey
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: Madison is the favorite. Now we'll do a couple more
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: supporting performance by male actor. Supporting role Jonathan Bailly wicked Beck,
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: you're a borisov Anora.
• 51:36
