  Speaker 3: practice it's the wine down time. You maybe get lunch.

  Speaker 3: Just before we had lunches at the rink, so you
• 1:53

• 1:56
  Speaker 3: a bit. And I get back to the hotel room
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: and you know, Jumbo Joe knocks on the door, and
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: and uh I opened. I said, yes, oh Joe, what's up?
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: And he goes, hey, walks into the room and goes,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: let's order some food. So I'm like, okay, so you know,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: we order some I order some food. And typically every
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: time we did that, I footed the bill, but he
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: would always he would pay any other bill, any at
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: any restaurant we were ever at, or any bar, he
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: would pay the bill. But if it was in the
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: your hotel room, you paid. And he came in literally
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: ordered a movie on demand, which you know at those
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: hotels they're like nineteen ninety nine at that point, they're
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: like the most expensive movie ever that you're renting on
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: the TV. So he rents. He rents the hurt Locker.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Now he rents the hurt Locker.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: And pet Catherine pig a look great.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Movie, Yes, great movie, yeah, Jeremy Renner. And this is
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: after he ordered food. Orders the movie gets under the covers,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: my covers. The bed was made slides underneath it kind
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: of shimmys himself under, so he doesn't undo the rest
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: of the bed, just kind of gets gets in a
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: little burrito, needs to take a nap, takes a nap
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: through I would say three quarters of the movie to
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: the whole movie. The food the food is ordered, yeah, exactly,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: So now I'm sitting here on this couch with a
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Hall of Famer next to me, sleeping, and I'm like, well,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: I guess I'm watching the hurt Locker today. So I
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: sit there watching it. The food comes, I deliver the food.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: It's in front of his it's right in front of
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: his bed. He wakes up, you know, last thirty minutes,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: eats the food, watches the movie, takes a shit in
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: my bathroom, and then says hey, but that says that
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: says hey, Bud, thanks. He takes off, and I'm left
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: to sit there being like, how do I unpack all
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: of this right now? I don't understand it. I was
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: like that, you know, and it's just that's jumbo Jo.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: That's just there's so many great stories of him from
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: you know, one of the other good one I have
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: that I always like to tell us. He was worried
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: that the team wasn't close enough. I can't remember what year,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: so he decided to at the San Jose Sharks at
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: the SAP Center at the game rink.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: He had a.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Wild idea to take off the the bathroom doors completely.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: So we got on his back with a drill, took
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: off all the bathroom doors and left and left the
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: shitters exposed. So if you were to go and if
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: you were to go and take a deuce, uh, you
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: would be exposed to everybody like you were in prison,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: and like you were sitting.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: In prison.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: And it lasted, I think like a week, but guys
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: were like, I think that was the most poop scared
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: you've ever seen. Guys were like going like different places
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: in the ring. And of course you don't Jumbo, there's
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: the Jumble's not doesn't have an ounce of shyness in
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: his body.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: You know, he's just sad eyes.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: And again you gotta remember, like the shitters are close
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: to the shower, so you're coming out of the shower
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: and you're like, what the hell is going on right now?
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: And coaches are.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Walking in like looking like she like so, and guys,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: you know, like I said, guys are like running around
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: the rink. So finally they put the doors back on,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: but he was on there with like a drill taking
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: the doors off to get the boys closer together. And yeah,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: it's just one two of the million stories of Jumble.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: When you come into the rink and just every day
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: was to be a two year old kid and I
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: think he still has kept that and I mean it's
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: amazing to see him. He's gonna cry one hundred percent there.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: I can bet anything that he will be crying at
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: that event because he's an emotional guy and he's like
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: it's just one of those things. He's just wears his
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: heart on his sleeve. So amazing draft class when you
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: look at the not draft class. Sorry, yeah, Hall of
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Fame inductees. Just amazing, amazing group. So it's congratulations too,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: all of them.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: I love those stories. I did not think we're going
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: to go in the shitter, but that was.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of poop stories, Yeah, a lot of
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: poop stories for uh, there's a lot of poop stories
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: for for that that era team that we.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Had scatological sense of humor. All right, Yeah, pretty good
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: weekend for the kids. Both called their front runers, Matthew
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Shaeffer and Demodov, huge moments of the respective teams. On
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Saturday night, Demodov scored the tie goal against Ottawa two
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and a half left in regulation. The next day, Shaffer
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: scores twice, including the game time goal sixty seven seconds
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: left in regulation against Columbus. He becomes the youngest defenseman
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: in hockey history of the multi goal game passing Bobby Orr,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Shaeff red and assists Tuesday night against Boston. Demanoff one goal,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: one assist against Philly feels like right now, JD. The
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Calder's a two man race. Everyone was talking about the
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: demo got the start of the year. You were in
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: on Shaeffer.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: This is really really impressive stuff so far.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, did I did I take Schaeffer early because you
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: said demoof You're like, it might be a little bit overrated.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm not crazy with him for Calder, I wouldn't.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't keep it a flyer on Schaeffer because once
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: he has the team, You're like, why he.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Was supposed to be a fifth or six defense be
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: he's their best player.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's their best player.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: They what I what I do like recently, Well, there's
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: like some games that he plays a little less he
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: was playing.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's playing a lot of minutes.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Man, I think I honestly think it's it's Schaeffer's right
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: now as much as Demitov. As you know, Devnoff has
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: the electric factor, like you know, you you watch I
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: watched that game last night. Uh, that comeback. I mean
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: they had what I think it was four goals on
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: like nine shots. It was something crazy. They were just
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: getting their ass handed to him by Philly, and but
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: they he has that capability as.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: A game breaker.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: And when you have that game breaking ability, it's just
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: so fun to watch those guys because every time they
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: touch the puck, whether they're having the worst game ever
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: or they're you know, they're lighting the world on fire,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: they're just so at the moment's notice, they bring you
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: out of your seat and Mike Johnson shout out to him.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: You know, he kind of captured that beautifully last night.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: He's just like he's one of those players that just
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: every time you touch the puck, you're kind of on
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: the edge of your seat. You're lifting up, You're ready
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: to jump in a moment's notice, because he's just plays
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: the game with such a you know, a level of
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: you know, carelessness, but that paired with his skill is
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: just it's so amazing. Like he doesn't know, he doesn't
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: believe that he can make a mistake, if that makes sense.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: And when you when you have that belief, like even
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: when you are making a mistake here, it's the water
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: off your back and you go right to the next play.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: And I mean, he's he is very he's something special
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: in terms of the electricity that he provides for that building.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: And I mean, there's nothing better than watching a Habs
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: game when they're in Montreal, when they have a guy
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: like that that they love and their cheer and demmy god,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: dab damn me, Like there's no better feeling and no
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: better atmosphere to watch. So he's he's for sure. But honestly,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: what Shaefer's doing is absolutely incredible. I mean, eleven points
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: in thirteen games. He's playing first power play, penalty kill,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: a second penalty kill, he's playing big minutes, playing against
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: the top units, and he's producing at a high level.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: So to me, it's it's very much. Ah, I'm on
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: the you know again, I can't say Norris, that'd be
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: way too much. That'd be too crazy to say that
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: he's in that conversation, but because I still think he's young,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: but I just think he for me, he's the calder
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: right now, hands down.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: We're in Montreal a couple weeks ago for saber STAPs.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I asked Marty about Demondoff. I said, you know, this
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: guy's gonna call the demigogue before he's even done anything,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Like how do you how do you shield him away
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: from those expectations and he goes, well, we're not aware
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: of it. I said, what do you mean you haven't
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: heard him? And he goes, no, I now that you
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: say it, I'm sure people are saying it goes. But
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: we don't focus on that, Like we don't get up
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and read our own headlines like I know in Montreal
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: That's what I said. I go, I think most players
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: would be aware.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: I'm always reading my headlines.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Kid me, I go, you tell me guys don't read
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: the Montreal Gazette. He's like, no, they just get up.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: We're just playing.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: We try to block out limit distractions, like go, I
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: don't know how you can do that because you're a
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: hyper on. This guy's pretty insane, and I would think
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: it's around his support staff and coaches to go forget
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: about what they're saying, just focus on the task at hand.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: That's easier said than done, especially in a city like Montreal.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Well, I think, and to his point, he's right, because
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: in Montreal, Toronto and Canada there's media training. You have
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: to stay out of that stuff because it'll drive you
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: nuts because that's the fan base. Is a lot of
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: that fan base, that's their life, Their life is following
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: that team. That's the fandom that we talk about. It's
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: just next levels. It's just really there's not much like
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: it when you're a part of it. So you have
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: to kind of find a way to disconnect because when
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: it's good, it's great, but they can make you feel
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: like you're you know, I've always said Canadian teams overvalue
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: their players, so they think they're players the good players
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: are you know, better than Connor McDavid or whatnot or
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: you know, obviously Edmonton thinks con mc table's Conwick tabd.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: But like they'll overvalue and overhype their players to a
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: point where it's not even sustainable, Like they can't match
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: that level of of of adoration and admiration. So it's
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: it's it's very difficult to you can't watch the good
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: and you can't watch the bad. So I agree, and
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: I think, you know, Demidov, I don't think is he's
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: got decent English, but I don't think he's you know,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: reading the Mareal Gazette in French right now, which is
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: perfect so for him shout out to Lapress.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about the Capitals right now.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Pire Lukedubois al for an extended period of time lower
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: body injury. The old LBI Washington was the top seed
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: in the East last year. They're now six five and one.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Dubois Ovechkin overrated now, I'm kidding. Two goals in his
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: first twelve games sucks. Connor McMichael one goal is first
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: twelve games. He scored twenty six last year. Anthony Pavillier
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: two points his first twelve games. They have great defense,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: but they're twenty eighth in offense. They're twenty seventh on
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the power play. Neither you or me called them to
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: win the division, so I feel like we kind of
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: called the regression, But I didn't necessarily think they'd be
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: this bad.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Your thoughts.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: I just think there's other teams that really surprised more
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: so than like, yeah, they didn't have anything compared to
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: what they did last year as a regression in terms
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: of the hot start they had, and I think everything
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: went right for them last year. Now there's a couple
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: of things that go wrong. You're getting your resilience tested,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: but you got to believe that there's enough veteran leadership
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: there that they'll pull they'll you know, they'll start pulling away.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: They're just they're getting unbelievable goaltending. Like Logan Thompson's on
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: my short list to be uh, you know, the starting
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: goalie for Team Canada at the Olympics. The way he's playing,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: he's very you know, they just can't get run support.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: So when you can't get run support, eventually you got
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: to think it turns with how much high powered offense
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: in scoring you have, especially ov you know, ob Ob
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: is the offensive driver on that team, and he's really
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: done next to nothing. He hasn't been able to I've
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: watched a couple of the games. He hasn't been able
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: to get open uh and get a shot off. So
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: I feel like that'll change. But if you look in
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: the metro and then and tell it's surprising, you know.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: I think the Dan Muse, the emuse boosh loved.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Muse. I did not know what he looked like. So Monday,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: did you talk to him? J D? I felt like
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: such a prick. I was about to be like, who's
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: this guy? This is equipment?
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: Like that's have you heard him talk?
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Though?
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: He's got his deepest bear, deepest voice.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Doesn't look like this voice is unbelievable. I was like,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I was just that was my biggest take. I can't
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: believe that's Dan music and that's Dan Mus's voice.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: I know he's got a hammer for sure, Big Dick,
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Dan Muse. I mean he's swinging it for these banguins
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: fans man, Big Muse. Is that a break because you
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: look at him and you're like, this can't be an
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: NHL coach, and then you talk to him and you're like, oh,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: this is an NHL coach.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: This guy's a coach. He's he's great man Like, honestly,
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: he's the structure.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: And I to be hard to bring this one back
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: on the rails, but uh, you know, I keep saying
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: it throughout training camp. He was talking about being connected,
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: and I think that they're playing such a good brand
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: of hockey and they're getting really good golden at times.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: You know, obviously not last game. I thought they should
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: have walked away with that Toronto game, and Goalie just
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: kind of crowned made a comeback. But you know, you
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: look at them, you look at the devils. You know,
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: I think we all had the devils thinking that we
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: weren't sure what they were going to do. We said,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: a healthy Jack Hughes and a healthy Devil's team is
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: very good. They're proving that in spades. You know, Columbus
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: is surprised. We knew the Rangers would be, you know,
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: probably not making the playoffs this year. None of us
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: had high hopes, and the Islanders have kind of surprised
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: at six five and one. Honestly, I think the way
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: they started as well, like how they've kind of brought
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: this back on the rails and they're playing good brand hockey.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: So the Metro is a lot more.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Even though I still think it's the worst division in hockey,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: there's still a lot there's still a.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Lot of open space there. So I don't know how
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: this is going to play out.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know if Pittsburgh can hang on, but I
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: definitely think Washington will finish higher than where they are now.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: It's just going to be a question of can they
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: get that. You know, you never want to waste good goaltending,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: so I think it sucks, but it sucks that you
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: you know, if you're a goalie and you're giving up
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: less than two goals a game and you can't win.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: It's like there's something wrong. So but I think they'll
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: write the ship.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I did want to tell you my quick Crosby story.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: How often did you mess with your stick when you
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: played it. I'm just curious as far as your blade.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: I never my blade. My whole thing was my grip.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: So I used to spray.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: I used to spray paint my stick because I didn't
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: like I didn't like the natural stickiness of it. So
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: i'd spray paint it. And when you spray paint it,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: i'd spray paint it all black when I was in Dallas,
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: so then it was really smooth. But then I would
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: put the I can't even say that word anyway, we
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: put the beater on it. It's a big it looks
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: like a bludget. It's all this tape that they they
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: unwind all this tape backwards onto a knob of a stick,
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: and the turn you'll see it on the side of
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: the benches, and it's like it's very sticky and you
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: rub it on your stick and it gives you grip.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: So I would put just a little bit where I
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: felt I liked to have a little bit of stickiness,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: but I would do that would be the weirdest thing
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: I do, and then I'd kind of always mess with it,
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: but I'd always be in the room spray painting.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: My stick's black.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: That's probably why I have some head fogginess now and
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: some some weird weird, uh weird thoughts and sleeps at times.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: But yeah, but anyway, tell me about Crosby because he's better.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Nobody wants to hear about me. Jason Emmer's seven hondred
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: game age levans and spray bend and sticks. They want
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: to be like, tell me about Crosby, You're a fucking idiot.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: So the fact he's now at seventeen hundred points and
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Jody Schellen are asking him about his blade because he said,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: your backhand is so great.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Do you mention the blade?
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: He goes, never, he said, Nate does a lot. McKinnon's
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: always fiddling with his. He goes, I never do it.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: He was the reason why is the backhand is such
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: a weapon for me that therefore they have to respect
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: the backhand that becomes strict to the forehead. And he goes,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: you know, I keep the stick way up here like this,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: like on his chest, and he's like, I never wanted
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: to fiddle too much of it because to me, he
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: goes and it kind of goes back to what Marty
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: told us last week in control, he goes ninety eight
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: percent of the time the puck is not on your stick,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: so he goes amount of right. Think of that, like,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: think how often you were playing, how often Jason News
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: actually touched the puck. It's this quick boom a lot
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: if you're worried too much, if the stick is how
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: it's impacting the pockets, like oftentimes you're away from the
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: play anyway.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: So it's like, it's really interesting.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: The sticks feels like it's like almost extensive use a
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: hockey player, right, It's like a boxer's gloves.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: It's who you are, and.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Yet some guys are constantly tinkering and it sid doesn't.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: I just found that interesting. And you were a guy
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: who just messed with the grip but not the actual blade.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would, if you know.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Whenever my kids starts playing hockey, I definitely I think
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: starting with a straight or blade for all kids should
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: be learn how to play with like the dry title
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: and the Crosby blade. Learn to learn to play with
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: a backhand first. Everything right now is like the sackic hook.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: You're trying to get that release. But learn how to
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: play with both sides of the puck, because you see
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: these kids now they get on their backhands, they can't
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: make a pass, they can't do anything. So learn how
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: to kind of control that get a good shot when
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: you have a stick that just you know doesn't help you.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: And then from there, when you kind of add a curve,
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: you're gonna it's gonna open up some stuff for you.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: But I mean, yeah, he's, uh, he's an anomaly. And
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: you know he's because you look at like ov Ovi
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: has the curve. It's like looks looks like a shopping
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: you know, like a shopping store, a mini mart broom
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: like you're doing how do you how do you? It
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: looks like a hile I racket where you just kind
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: of how do you have shoot this thing? It's just
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: like impossible to shoot. So so yeah, so I just
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: think it's the backhand is a weapon and should be
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: used more. And I mean, no one does it better
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: than said So he's the man.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Cross me off to a blazing store.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Penguins didn't have a three nothing lead that fell apart
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: against the least as they came back to win that
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: game four to three in regulation. Still to come here

  Speaker 2: It is our friend Andy Patrolla. Hello Andy, nice to
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: see you.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: I can't believe I'm on. This is so exciting to y'all.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: With you guys, ad Man, you number one. You did
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: not also mention coast to coast.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: That's right, that's when the demers Patrolla match happens continue
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: continue very true.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: We've had some memorable moments, one which still makes the
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: highlight reels of Jason and his short shorts Hall you're missing.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Out wardrobe choices, sometimes good, sometimes bad. Andy, you know,
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: talk a little bit. Let's start obviously the elephant in
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: the room here, the book. How did it come to
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: get and for you, what's been the response so far?
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: You're talking about before just being with a publicist. This
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: is a kind of new territory for you.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: It is so bizarre. Yeah, because this is my first book,
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: so the whole process is completely new to me. But yeah,
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: I said I would. I would say I started writing
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: this in January of twenty twenty three. I had a
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: literary agent reach out to me, and he's done a
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: lot of books for a lot of men in Canada,
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: like right from like James Duffy, you know, Ken read
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: Bob Mackenzie. So he's helped a lot of those guys
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: put out books. And he's like, hmm, I don't think
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: a woman in Canada in sports has ever done this.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: So he reached out, and I wouldn't say it was
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: like a lot of convincing, But at first I didn't
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: want to do it because I thought, who the heck
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: is going to want to read what I've been through?
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: I don't know, like you always think, like if I
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: throw a party, is anyone going to show up? So
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: I'm like, if I write a book, is anyone going
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: to read it? But you know, he kind of convinced
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: me I had some stories to share, and then I thought,
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: you know what, I do want to write this because
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: you know, in the first part of your career, and
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: oftentimes it's in the first part of your life, like
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: it's about you what can I do to make myself better?
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: Can I do to progress my career? What can I
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: do for me? And that's not necessarily a bad thing, right,
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: But then there comes another point in your life, that
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: second half where you think, Okay, even though I'm still
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: learning and evolving, how do I give back? Now I'm
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: at that point in my career, how do I give back?
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: And I feel like the book is just a really
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: good way to do that because I touch on some
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: topics storylines that I feel are beneficial for a lot
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: of young broadcasters, obviously, especially women. So I just I
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: hope that my sharing of my experiences can help them
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: get through some things here in the industry too, So
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: it's also my way of giving back.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I was lucky enough to work with the Andy at
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: MLSCA for a year back in nine. So what I'm
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: doing to try to help the pub for the book,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: as I told her the other day, is I'm screenshotting
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: whenever a person is mentioned, then texting them. So Steve Colius,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: I screenshot it and circle like, look you got mentioned
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Andy's new book, Hoping they we'll take the hit and go,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: oh my god, where's the book available?
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: I gotta go get that.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: So for Andy, I've done this down to David Amber,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I've don this to Steve Coulius. I send this to
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Mike Johnson, I've done this to James DOTHI why.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Has been like, oh where can I buy the book?
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Send me a link?
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: But eventually we're going to crack one brow. But listen,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: you are a gifted writer. There's no question about it.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: And I mean I know you studied English back there
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: at Yorkshire to York Yeoman, Back of the Day, now
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: York Lions. But you're a gifted writer and a great storyteller.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Like what I love about the book is, and I've
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: got thirty pages left, is it's quick. It's just story
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: from this snapshot, from this, here's the Olympics, here's soccer.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: It's not like you know, Cradle to the Grave, Andy Patrillo.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: It's like really entertaining and breezy and fast paced. So
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: let's get to some of those great stories. By My
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: favorite story right now is I just close wise, I go,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: what's the first thing you think of Afghanistan? Brian Burke
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: tell the story?
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, Brian Burke was a hero in Afghanistan.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: So this is when so working for Maple Sports and Entertainment,
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: Tom and saw me. The CEO loves our troops and
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: for years he was organizing trips to Afghanistan to bring
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: the Stanley Cup, to bring former and echellers and really
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: just lift the spirits of those defending our freedom. And
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: one of those trips I was on and Brian Burke
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: was was on it as well, and it's it's it's
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: sad and it's uplifting because what's sad about it is
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: he had just lost his son a couple months before
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: we left on this trip. And I remember saying to him, like,
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: I can't believe you're still here. I think people would
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: understand that you would have to like throw in the
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: towel on this trip, and he said, no, these men
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: and women are putting their lives on the line for
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: us every single day, and I promised them that I
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: would be there, so I'm going to be there. And
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: I always liked Burkie, but like that trip just brought
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: it to a whole other level where I'm like, Wow,
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: you just lost your son and you're you know, you're
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: you're still sticking to your word and your promise here.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: And he was great. And one morning, you know, he
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: woke up early. I mean not that the not that
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: a war zone ever sleeps, but you know, he was
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: up early, and there was a Timmy's on base, because
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: of course there has to always be at tim Martin's
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: on base for the Canadians, and he just stood there
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: and just bought everyone their breakfast, whatever they wanted. He
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: just stood there for hours. And even when I went
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: up there and I wanted to help, I'm like, you
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: know kind of He's like, no, listen, like we got this,
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: don't you worry. Just make sure that you know, you
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: take the orders, make sure all the troops all their
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: orders are being taken and no one gets left behind there.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: So you know, he would do things like that. And then, yeah,
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: so a bit of a funnier story that I share.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: I didn't really grasp that I was in a war zone.
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: I still wanted to treat it like I was at home.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: So I woke up early. I was a little jet lag,
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: and I'm like, I need a shower. So we're in
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: like port like we're we're we're in like portables, right.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: I don't know you guys have portables, right, you're overflowing
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: in school. You're not in the class. You're in these portables.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: So that's kind of what they were, these makeshift portable barracks.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: And then across the way it was another portable that
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: had the proper shower facilities. So I go across. It's
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: probably like five in the morning or something. I take
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: my shower, which is also a way too long. I
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: do not know how to take a military two minute shower.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Like oh you want you said the one female officer
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: while you were getting undressed. When in undressed shower, it
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: was already out and.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: I'm still like shampooing my hair. I'm like, how did
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: she do that? That was incredible? And I'm like, you know,
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: using up all the hot water for these soords. I'm like, oh,
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: they hate me for life. So I go to get
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: dressed and what do you know I didn't bring a
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: change of clothes, and foggy brain doesn't think to put
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: her pjs back on because I brought pj's. Like what
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: else am I going to sleep in in Afghanistan? I'm like, oh,
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: get my pj's. So I'm like, I'll just go with
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: my towel. I'm like, it's five in the morning, everyone's sleeping, like,
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: not a big deal. I'll go in my towel right
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: across the way, go back into the barracks, and well,
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: what do you know? First thing I do when I
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: opened the door, truck of soldiers is just driving by,
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: and all the dudes are like, what the actual heck?
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: There is a naked woman on base and they were
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: all just kind of like turning their heads, going, oh
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: my god. Right, and I think, oh geez. And the
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: next thing I hear is somebody just giving it to
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: me right, like what the f patrol? What? And I'm
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: like what. I look up and there's Burkie. He can't
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: sleep either. He's like, what in the actual hell are
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: you doing? Put some freaking clothes on. I'm like, I shall,
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: and I thought it was early. He's like, it's a
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: bloody warzone. Nobody's sleeping. He's like, of course when you
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: walk anyway, So he was just like it was great.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: Berkie was great. It was sad, but he was just wonderful.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: And I just you know that that trip was eye opening.
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: So many of those. There's other stories that I share
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: in there of like just you know, going visiting the
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: hospital and just you know the damage that war does.
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: So there's a lot that I learned there. And there's
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: also a story when I was in Afghanistan about I
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: may or may not have lost to Stanley cup Ring.
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: So you have to read that.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: Oh wow.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: You know, I wanted to ask you a little bit
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: about about talking about Burkie and people seeing another side
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: and you know, you kind of as a broadcaster and
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: somebody who's in the locker room, you see the other
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: side of guys, You see the other side of girls
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: that are that are playing professional sports. Do you feel
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: like sometimes you owe it to kind of show them
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: in the best life possible? And then is that something
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: that's a little bit more nuanced and something you had
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: to learn kind of as you kept you know, growing
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: into the into the game, so to speak.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: Sure, because the more you get comfortable in your own skin,
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: and you get comfortable like talking to people and interview
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: skills and whatever, you feel like you can bring out
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: the best in others. And I think, you know, sometimes
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: that takes time. Some people can get it right away,
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: but I also think it takes time because the players
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: themselves have to just learn to trust you to show
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: their personality. So that's why I do like, I love
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: I love features. I think features are the best way
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: because it's really hard sometimes to get anyone to show
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: their personality when they have like ten microphones jammed in
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: their face in a scrum setting. Like that's difficult, right,
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: or even if I'm doing like my intermission interviews, you know,
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: some guys can show personality the other night because I
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: mean obviously they were they were leading. But again he's
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: a veteran like Eric Carlson was hilarious in.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: That Firm's good.
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but like not every guy can do that either, right,
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: Like it's hard. So that's why I do to your point,
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: I love the feature part of things, and because that's
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: the other side of athletes and they have a little
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: bit more time and a little bit more room to
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: show themselves. And I think in general, the NHL does
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: a really good job with that, especially in the beginning
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: of the year when they do a bunch of things
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: with players and then put that out. But I think
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: it's important to show that because sometimes in the world
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: of sport, you know, I mean, and I knows this
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: as a broadcaster, Jason, you know this. As a player,
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: you can become numbers and that's it. And I think
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: people sometimes forget the human. They forget the son, the brother,
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: the husband, whatever. And I maybe I'm just getting sappier.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: The older I get, but it's true.
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: I love to talk about the like remind even if
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: you have a crappy game and it's my job to
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: say that was a horrible play by Jason pinched to
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: her whatever led to the goal, I still will say
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: it in a way where it's like, well, nobody's more
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: upset than Jason about that play, right, I'm not gonna
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: hammer you like you're not a human. So I think
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: it's really important to highlight that with a lot of
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: these players.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Again, the book is called Just Call Me Andy.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Sports Stories from the Trail Blazer Andrea Patroller her formal name,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: she has gone by Andy.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the Uh yeah, did you learn that? Wait?
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: Did you just learn That's why the book's.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: Called Just Call and the Hell.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: I just like hearing that Andrea just call me and
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: our personal and and he's like, wait, wait, what's going
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: on here?
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Who's who's the the ket of the bag? Some of
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: the best stuff.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Again, I think it's important not only for aspiring broadcasters
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: and for everybody, but particularly andy for women.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: This stuff is really important.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Social media chapter I thought was particularly interesting because as
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: you're doing something which no one has done before, being
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: a trailblazer hosting these shows, you're going to get a
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: lot of negative feedback. And as you said, you were
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: reluctant to join Twitter, as was I. You don't have
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: a Facebook page, nor do I. You were reluctant to
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: do on Facebook girls, but you and I both feel like, well,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: it's part of the product, and we're working for the company,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: and they want me to repost. We probably should, so
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: you feel an obligation. That's why you started doing it
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: at twenty level MLSC. But this is the kind of
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: stuff that you have had to resort and I'm glad
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: that you actually included the exact tweet. This is a
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: revolting example that was sent me after Brian Trotcy was
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: a guest on my radio show, Slavic Supremacy. Who's dick
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: to this privileged white woman suck to get this job?
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Of the thousands of males out there that earn and
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: deserved this job, they find a pussy to a man's job.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: So I'm to believe this vagina loves Trotcy and hockey
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: more than a man. And as you said, this is like,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: this is an avalanche of stuff that's so bad.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: For years you've been getting this stuff. I hope it's
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: less now.
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: Well maybe maybe not. I don't know, because something else
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: I point out on the book is I shut my.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Mentions, turned off the notifications mart you learn.
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: To control your social media, which you can control it, right,
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: So I turned my mentions off on Twitter. I don't
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: check dms on Instagram. I used to even have mentions
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: off on Instagram, so unless I followed you, you couldn't
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: even put a message on my Instagram page. I changed
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: that because again in this day and age, I go,
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: when you work with brands, they want to see analytics,
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: they want to see those numbers. But like, I also
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: feel like I got into this social media game when
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: I was older so I was already through my formative years,
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: and I feel like I have the mental capacity a
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: little bit stronger to deal with these things. The kids
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: coming up like this is just their world, this is
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: their their life, and I, oh, my heart breaks when
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: I think about it. But yeah, I mean there's and
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: there's been so many studies done, and that's why I
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: wanted to highlight it because I know that men deal
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: with a lot of stuff too, and I can only
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: imagine what you guys get. The difference is that there's
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: always some sexual undertone with women, Like oftentimes when men
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: get attacked on social media, not all the time, but
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: oftentimes it does have to do with the job at hand,
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: even with the athletes, right, Like if an athlete gets attacked,
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: a male athlete, it's because he had a bad game.
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: If a female athlete gets attacked, it's often it's not
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: necessarily results based. It's just like you're a whore, or
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: you deserve to be raped, or even if people think
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: they're being complementary, it's like I just want to do X,
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: Y and Z to you and it's horrific, you know,
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: sexual descriptions of things that they want to do. Like
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: there's always that type of undertone where you know that
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: whole sexual violence is still used as a weapon against women,
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: and in social media it's very, very prevalent. So if
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: any man wants to dismiss me as a woman in
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: sports broadcasting, they just resort to that. They resort to,
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: you know, the sexualization of me. So dismiss me because
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: I'm too pretty, too fat, too ugly, you know, I'm
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: I'm bangable. I'm not bangable, Like everything is judged by that.
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: I could have just given the most incredible analysis. That's
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: not what they see, that's not what they care about.
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: So and that's really hard on women. And it's also
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: really friggin scary because when somebody attacks you in that way,
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: you start to look over your shoulder because you're like,
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: is that person around. I'll tell you this. This wasn't
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: in the book, but I remember one time, this is
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: a couple of years ago, I did get uh And
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: the only reason why I opened it was because I
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: saw that it was somebody who worked in the Union
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: of people that we use in broadcasting, and I went, oh,
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: is this somebody I know? Like they sent me a
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: DM and me like, open this up. And it was
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: a dick pic and it was somebody who works in
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: the unions, so a group of people that we use
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: in the sports broadcasting world. So now I'm definitely a
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: massive union. It goes like across Canada and I think
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: it's even in the state, but like either way, I'm
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: now I'm freaking out because I'm like on location at
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: a place where I know we use these people, and
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: I'm like, is this guy somewhere here? Is he here?
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: Like yeah, actually the one now like helping me out?
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: What's like? So it gets it can enter your real
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: life and it can be really scary too.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: A couple of quick thoughts on that one.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: I loved the quote from Dave cadell or old friend
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: used to run the fan who said if a male
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: mispronounced his name.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Or makes a mistake, they go, oh, he just made
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: a mistake. But if a woman does it, she doesn't
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: know what she's talking about. She's a woman. I thought
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: that was bang on, like that happens all the time.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: And also I like your point, but comments turning off
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: notifications for positive comments, I agree with that too.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: That can get in your head. Oh, i'd NaN's killing itself.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Even viz are so awesome.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, so then you get lazy or whatever, like no, no,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hear anything. I don't want positive
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: or negative.
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: Just go andy.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: You know, talking about that too, like how important becomes
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: like wardrobe because you know in the book you mentioned
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: you wore leather pants social media you face a ton
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: of backlash, Like how does that then become I can
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: only imagine like you're picking out your outfit and you're like,
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: I gotta, like one, be presentable, show myself, you know,
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: be a woman at the same time, like I have to,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: to your point, be looking over my shoulder and then
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: also face backlass.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: You got to kind of like toe that line.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: But before you even answer, I want to just say.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Andy quotes The Devil Worst Product when she talks about
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: the fast there's a chapter on fashion. There's this brilliant
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: in the movie The Devil Worst Pot where Anne Hathaway's
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: character snickers at Meryl Streep's character as the latter is
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: putting together a fashion look.
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: Take yeah, love that segment because and this is where
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: it's far more deeply psychological when it comes to what
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: women wear than I think even women themselves recognize. But
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: you're right, you are again as a woman, your credibility
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: is judged based on what you wear. And I obviously
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: talk about some men who wear some wacky fashions. And
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: even though people are, sorry, Jason, even though people will
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: comment on the wacky fashion, that man's credibility is not
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: judged by it, but a woman's is. So she's showing
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: too much skin, that means she lacks credibility. Even if
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: she's covered up too much, she's too prudish. Let loose
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: a little bit, right, like a woman. It's very hard
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: for a woman to win when it comes to what
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: to wear. And I even acknowledge that in my book,
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: where I'm like, some of you might be wondering what
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: the actual heck are you doing including a chapter here
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: all on clothing. But that's how much stress it can
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: cause for a lot of women. And of course, you
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: know a lot of women have also been told there's
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: a certain way to dress in order to feel sexy
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: and beautiful, and that way to dress is to attract
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: the male gaze. So I know, like people are very
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: quick to be like, oh, look what that woman's wearing,
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: or she's got cleavage, or her skirts too short, and
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: I'm like, yeah, but I also think she doesn't even
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: realize because it's generations even before her. That's what she
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: was told to wear in order to be attractive. That's
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: what she was told to wear in order to attract
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: the male audience. Which as much as we have a
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: ton of female viewership, right, it's still dominated by men.
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: And that woman she gets dressed thinking that she's dressing appropriately,
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: but she's actually dressing for men. Is she even really
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: dressing for herself? Is she even even really dressing for
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: other women? So I find that it's really a deeper
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: psychological thing than I think some people even know about
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: or are even willing to dive into. So again, it
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: took me a long time. I didn't even know this
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: right out of the gate. I was I would dress
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: a certain way, and deep down inside I know I
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: always felt uncomfortable. I'm like, well, why do I have
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: to dress this way? And are you sure that this
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: V isn't too low? Because I kind of think it's inappropriate. Nah, Nah,
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: it's great. People think it's great. Like who thinks it's great?
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: Like the male athlete that I'm interviewing, and now his
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: eyes are like, you know, like that's not right either? Right?
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: So like it took some time to break away from
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: that kind of belief system that in order to feel,
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: because let's face it, we do. Everyone wants to go
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: to work looking good. I want to go looking beautiful.
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: You want to go looking handsome, like we all want
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: to do that. We all want to go feeling our best.
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: But what is beautiful? Because I think for women we've
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: been told it's a certain something which may be more revealing,
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: maybe a little bit more risque. And again, if you're
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: a woman who loves to dress that way, you do you, babe,
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: like you do you. But I just want you to
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: think a little bit why is that you? And that's
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: that that you're talking about with the Anne Hathaway because
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: in that beautiful scene Anne Halfaway, her care character Andy
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: thinks she's being rebellious by like, you know, rebelling against
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: the fashion world. And I just love how Streep's character
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: turns around and says, you're wearing what we picked out
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: for you years ago and you don't even know it.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: That's all. Yeah, yeah, that's right, the cutchhrase, that's all
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: I love much.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: An example what a good writer, Andy is this is
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: called the lead. So this's when you're, you know, writing
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: a chapter, you get a great lead sentence.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Joe Thornton is the.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Reason why I developed an obsession with watching the Maury
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Povid Show, and Marty san luis the reason why I
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: almost broke my ankles.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: How about the stories of both.
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: Those It was just fun stuff. We for two summers
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: in a row, I got to spend some time with
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: those two. We actually would shoot hockey us. So the
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: first year was ball hockey, second year was hockey, and
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: we just shot instructional videos that were then sold in
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: Kellogg's boxes, which was hilarious. So the second year, obviously
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: we knew each other very well. At this point, we're
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: having some fun and I had the bigger dressing room
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: as I should get and Jumbo Joe didn't appreciate that,
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: hence his name jumbo Joe. He's like, I need more space.
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: So he just took over my room and he just
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: like he's like, that is now mine, that couch is
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: now mine. And when I came back from shooting one
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: of my solo things, you know, there he was. I
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: thought he was passed out, pretty sure he was snoring,
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: and I went to change the channel to watch Days
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: of our Lives because that is my guilty pleasure. Okay,
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: I like to watch Days of Our Lives. That's the
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: soap opera I've been watching since I was ten years old.
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: Shout out to my cousin Jenny, who got me hooked.
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: And I changed the channel and he woke up right
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: away and he's like, put it back. I need to
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: know who the baby daddy is. So what the heck
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: are you talking about? He was watching more Povich and
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: he's like, I've been waiting. He goes, I don't care
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: about the show. He didn't care about the show. He
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: just wanted to know the end if the guy was
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: the dad or not the dad. So then we had
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: to sit there for like the final seven minutes. And
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: then I got hooked. I'm like, this is drama because
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: I grew up also watching Jerry Springer.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: Okay, okay, and I.
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: Know I needed to. I'm like, oh my goodness, how
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: have I not watched Maury after Jerry's Springer starts. So
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: I got a little hooked on Maury and that was
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: a ton of fun. And then I mean, Marty Saint
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: Louis to your point earlier Jason about getting to know
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: the personalities. So, guys, this guy is a ham like
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: he loves cracking jokes, he's at he is really funny,
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: and he was like he was pulling all kinds of
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: pranks those two summers all the time. And then one
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: of them was also this video game, I think the
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: Wii or whatever that you had the handle and I
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: had never played it before, and he convinced me that
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: I needed to keep my skates on and run back
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: and forth to do this one particular tennis thing and
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: like my ankles are just bending back and forth and
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: he's just like having a snicker in the corner. Just
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: thought it was the funniest thing. But like that's the
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: kind of stuff that he would do all the time.
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: So great personalities by both those guys, and we had
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: we had a ton of fun those two summers. So
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: those are just some of stories that I share too,
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: because there's like a lot of great guys that you
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: meet along the way.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Well, you're not the only person that Joe Thornton has,
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: you know, taken over his TV. He used to come
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: into my room when we're on the road and literally
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: take a nap and put on a movie and then
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: I couldn't change the channel. I have to sit there
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: in silence. I mean, well, I'm watching the hurt Locker. Now,
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: I'm watching the hurt Locker.
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: That's what he does, and he does it in such
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: a way where you're like, I don't are you supposed
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: to be here? Should I be kicking you out?
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: Life?
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: His whole life, his whole life.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: He lives in the middle, like in this middle purgatory
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: where we're like, should I say something?
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: Should I not? I'm like, it's jump and everybody just goes, well,
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: that's jumbo.
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: He's probably the most heartbreaking chapter, and he's about Wade
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Blac because what I thought was really interesting is you
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: not only wrote about what happened away, but your personal
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: connection to that and the guilt that sometimes people can
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: deal with when someone even not as I say, close
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: to them, someone that they know from their acquaintance with,
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: ends up taking their lives.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: How tough was that to go through?
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, you know I still live a little
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: bit with the guilt of it. I'd be Wade became
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: like a good friend right away. Again another thing, Jason,
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's just awesome people, and it was really
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: important for me to share that mostly because I wanted
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: people to know that Wade was awesome, Like he was
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: just an awesome guy. And in an industry again where
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: even the players themselves sometimes would be nervous talking to
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: a female reporter on their own because it's like a
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: it could be like a high school hallway sometimes, right,
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: like they don't want their teammates teasing them like ooh,
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: you were talking to Andy for a little while. They're
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: all was going on, right, So sometimes that childishnesss can
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: seep into a room. Wade didn't care. He's like, if
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: I like you, I'm going to talk to you. A
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: couple times on the road where I would be walking
• 42:52
  Speaker 5: back to the hotel on my own because the rest
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: of the media would decide to stay out after dinner,
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: like I'm walking, you know, it's nighttime, and Wade would
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: see me and he's like, I'm walking you back to
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: the hotel room or not a hotel room, but a
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: hotel And he's and I'm like, why would you do this?
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: Like people might think. So He's like, I don't care.
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: You are a woman by yourself on the road, by
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: the way, now you're walking back to the hotel at night,
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: Like if anyone had seen one of my daughters doing this,
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: they better escort them back, because if anything were to
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: ever happen to them, I would, you know, I'd be
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: pissed at them. And He's like, and if anything would
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: ever happen to you, and I saw you walking like,
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: I need to be a gentleman like he was. That's
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: what he was. He was an absolute gentleman. He would
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: clean off my car when we would come back from
• 43:37
  Speaker 5: road trips because I traveled with the team, so we'd land,
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: there'd be a snowstorm, everyone's car is covered in snow,
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: and he would just completely wipe my car off for me,
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: right like, just things like that. Chivalry was not dead
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: with Wade b. Lack Right. He was a wonderful human
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: being in that sense. And then right up until the
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: last second where he retired. I even introduced him to
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: an agent I was working with at the time to
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: get him into broadcasting, to help him out with that.
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: And then he wanted to return the favor when I
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: was trying to get my job with Hockey Night in
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: Canada and he was with Battle of the Blades. So
• 44:11
  Speaker 5: that was that night where he was trying to get
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: me to go out. He was with a bunch of
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: CBC people and he's like, I really want you to
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: come out meet these people FaceTime. FaceTime never hurts, right,
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: Like that's what he wanted. And I just kept saying
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: I was too tired, I was too busy, I was
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: too tired. And then that was really the last Those
• 44:25
  Speaker 5: are the last words that I ever spoke to him.
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: And then the next day is when all the news
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: started to break and it was just like I think
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: and I said, like I write this in the book
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: where you're just in shock, because we were supposed to
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: have lunch that day, and I texted him and I'm like,
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: people are saying you're dead, Like is that true? Like
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: it was just a text because I don't know what
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: to say. I'm like, oh my god, all these people
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: are saying you're dead. What's up with that? Lol? Like hey,
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: where are you?
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: And then no response and I just went, oh, no,
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: like I think this is real, and yeah it was.
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: It was a really tough time. My grandfather had been ill,
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: hence why I was tired and couldn't go out with
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: him the night before. But you know, Wade Wade was
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: good people, and I want I want everyone to know that.
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm sure, as you know, his family obviously
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: knew how amazing he was. But I if they read
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: that chapter, if they read my book, you know, if
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: his daughters end up reading it, you know, I hope
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: they get another like appreciation for how like you know,
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: their father touched people in the industry as well, like
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: he was just salt of the earth human being. Uh.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: Last one for me, when you wrote the book we
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: were talking about in Winnipeg, he said, no, there's some
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: stuff in there, some personal stuff that I disclosed, haven't
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: talked about. And I thought this was really brave of
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: you because I have a couple of nieces who I thought.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: But immediately when you talked about how some women avoid
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: playing sports when they're younger because what happens, and you said,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: menstruating at the age of ten, you know you don't
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: understand what comes with that. You're wearing white pants, you
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: gotta wear this that like some women will forever not
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: play sports. I thought that was very courageous and brave
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: of you to mention did you worry about disclosing that
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: specific incident?
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'm sure my mom, you know, she's like, why
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: did you have to share part the deaths whatever, mom.
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: But I think it's I do think it's important because yes,
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: I'm actually one of the young ones. I was ten
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: fricking years old when that happened. And there are a
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: lot of girls like typically whatever, like thirteen fourteen, so
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: they're all and I guess, you know, maybe it's kind
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: of funny because when I think about it, maybe it's
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: the fact that I got it so early. I already
• 46:24
  Speaker 5: joined sports, like knowing how to deal with that, where
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: some girls they're like thirteen fourteen, fifteen, so they've been
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: in sports for a few years. Then you know, their
• 46:34
  Speaker 5: body changes and it's like uh oh, and they don't
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: know how to adjust. They get nervous, they get scared,
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: they get embarrassed. But I did, you know, I'm happy
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: I wrote it because when I was writing that sort
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: like the amount of women who reached out to me,
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: even like national team players, and I write it like
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: one in the book, former national team player reached out
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: and she's like, you know, Canada makes the Olympics in
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: soccer two thousand and eight for the first time. She's like,
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: we are over the moon, We're representing our country. We're
• 46:59
  Speaker 5: at the freaking Olympics. Man. She goes and I get
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: my period the night before our very first game, and
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: what kits to Canada choose to wear the white ones.
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: So she's like and this is like, these are things
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: that female athletes have to worry about. So she's like,
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: here I am playing in front of millions and now
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: I got to worry, Like, I hope I don't have
• 47:17
  Speaker 5: an accident. And I know it's worth talking about because
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: many leagues have now banned white shorts, and they've done
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: that in the NWSL, they've done it in the Women's
• 47:27
  Speaker 5: Soccer League. Over in Europe as well, they're starting to
• 47:30
  Speaker 5: ban them because they realize the amount of stress that
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: it caused. I mean, everyday women are you go to work,
• 47:36
  Speaker 5: you know, you're always like worried, Like it's just things
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: like that, Like that is something that causes stress. Hello,
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: figure it out. And now, if you're an athlete that's
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: got to perform on the highest level, that can cause
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: stress if you're wearing certain colors. And then when you're
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: young and not everyone's going through it, there's an embarrassment factor.
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: And when I brought that up that day, I know
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: I could tell people because again, everyone's always uncomfortable talking
• 47:58
  Speaker 5: about what the body does. But then they all came
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: up to me privately and they went, you're so right,
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: this happen, and then they start to share their stories.
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: So that's why I'm like, I'm going to include that,
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: even though my mom will probably be like, you don't
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: need to prett Yes, I did, Mom, because it opens
• 48:14
  Speaker 5: a conversation for other women to say, you're right, and
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: it'll remind some women that there are young girls out
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: there where if they start to act a certain wad
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: be like, hey, are you like, is there something you
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: want to talk about? Maybe it's this, And that's okay
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: because it's very normal that the body is going to
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: go through that. Let's talk about it and let's figure
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: out how you can deal with it and still be
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: able to play sports and not feel embarrassed by it.
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: For sure, it's andy, you know, for me lastly, you know,
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: playing hockey and being a professional athlete and now myself,
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: you know, being in the broadcasting world. I'm so amazed
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: at you know, working with hosts that are so good
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: at you know, dictating traffic. You know, I always tell
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: people that ask me, you know, how is it how
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: hard is it.
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: I'm like, it's it.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: It's nothing compared to the hosts that have somebody in
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: their ear that are giving them traffic constantly in your life,
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: like an air traffic controller shout out the government shutdown.
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: But it's it's literally so difficult.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: It's so hard, you know, to do, and I have
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: so much respect but for you, like, is there a
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: favorite moment of yours where like you're live on air
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: and something just kind of went wrong and you had
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: to think on your feet U.
• 49:26
  Speaker 5: Oh my goodness. So many times so I call the
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: producers are the mothership and if we lose, and I knows,
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: if you lose contact with the mothership, then you're pitched, man.
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: But if you can still have contact with them and
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: navigate through audio issues, video issue, anything like that, you
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: can get through anything. But I've had moments for sure
• 49:50
  Speaker 5: where oh my goodness, like, so here's a good one,
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: though not necessarily something went wrong, but I share this too.
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: So the Pan American Games ended up being a huge
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: success twenty fifteen, they were in Toronto. It always turned
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: into Nobody's gonna watch. We ended up having to expand
• 50:06
  Speaker 5: the hours of our show because so many people were
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: watching and the baseball team, the Canadian baseball team was
• 50:11
  Speaker 5: doing so well, and we had like literally a minute
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: left in the show. But the producers like, we have
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: to get these highlights in. And these are not MLB players, right,
• 50:21
  Speaker 5: so it's not like you know these names. And there's
• 50:23
  Speaker 5: not a great graphics either. But he's like, Andy, we
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: have zero time to show you these highlights, and we
• 50:30
  Speaker 5: have no commercial break to show them to you. He's like,
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: and I don't even have a writer who can get
• 50:34
  Speaker 5: you these highlights. I Am going to read you the
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: highlight in your ear and you are going to have
• 50:40
  Speaker 5: to say what I say. And I said, oh dear god,
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: this is going to be a Ron Burgundy moment. I'm like,
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: do not order a sandwich in the middle of reading meetings,
• 50:48
  Speaker 5: because I will say it right. So that was like
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: here we go, like he's like, all right, figure it out,
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: get your brain, you know, whatever level because we've got
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: twenty seconds here. And then he just said, all right,
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: coming up to home plate is so and so you know,
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: he's two for two on the tien. I'm coming up
• 51:04
  Speaker 5: to hope his own zone is two for two on
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: the day. And literally just like doing the highlights that
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: way and I'm looking at them for the very first time,
• 51:12
  Speaker 5: and uh, it was it was wild. It was crazy,
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: but we ended up doing that and got through it.
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: So yeah, like you're you're learning to be present, like
• 51:19
  Speaker 5: entertaining on air while listening to what somebody's saying here
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: and then presenting it to the to the viewers. Like
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: it's crazy. What what goes on in our ear is
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: complete and absolute chaos, chaos, and then what comes out
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: you hope is not.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: The first the first sight of the first set of
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: Coast to Coast we did the first season was like
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: they somebody accidentally pressed the button you just hear in
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: the bag.
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: We're like, I don't me you and p K, We're
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: like Jesus.
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: You know what.
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: Like shout out to producers because they keep a lot
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: out of our ears, right, Like they speak to us
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: with just what we need to know. But sometimes once
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: in a while they'll leave their key open a little
• 51:59
  Speaker 5: too long and I'm just like, are people being murdered
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: in that room? What is happening? Right? Those poor people?
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: But Coast to Coast is wild because I'll have a
• 52:10
  Speaker 5: producer talking to me, then a director also letting you
• 52:14
  Speaker 5: know what the camrangles or what's going to be shown.
• 52:17

  Speaker 2: And that's my question to both of you. Tell I'll
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: go with you.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: Why is it in all these British shows, gangster shows,
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: sexy beast, whatever it may be. What is this fascination
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: with the seaword? If you use the seaword in America,
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: can't be like you can't say that. See you next Tuesday.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: In England they use it like saying the word water.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: It's just constantly being thrown out there. If you notice
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: that when it comes.
• 55:04
  Speaker 7: The Brits, they do, Guy Richie, My understanding is it's
• 55:09
  Speaker 7: it's more of a colloquialism.
• 55:11
  Speaker 4: In the UK. It's it doesn't have it's not as.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: Loaded, you know, it's not as loaded as a word.
• 55:17
  Speaker 7: It's like, you know, if I called you a dick,
• 55:20
  Speaker 7: you know, it's like it's it's like it's not an
• 55:23
  Speaker 7: endearing term, but it's not you know, we're not going
• 55:25
  Speaker 7: to cover our kids ears necessarily if one of those,
• 55:27
  Speaker 7: you know, and that's that's that's what it is, which
• 55:30
  Speaker 7: is why it's so much fun to see, like maybe
• 55:32
  Speaker 7: someone who's not as familiar with British culture watching you know,
• 55:35
  Speaker 7: a Guy Ritchie movie or something like that for the
• 55:37
  Speaker 7: first time, like, oh my god, what was this?
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: You know, So it's just it's a you could barely
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: understand half the words. There's a great SNL speech with
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: Bill Hayter and Fred Arni. Yeah, I I was wondering
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: if be picked that up.
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: God hey, because normally I'm anti subtitles if they're speaking
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: English when it comes to this Moblin look o bet
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: those subtitles on. I have no idea what these guys
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: are saying. Just cocked the accents their mo put in
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: a pinch.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have no idea what they're saying right now.
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: And now it's English.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Check it out.
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: I love don't you? Don't you love that? Towl comes on.
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: First words of the show is an eighteen syllable word.
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: Make us feel make us feel stupid?
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: No, listen to is a writer. We appreciate it.
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: He's smart. Man.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: Quick thought here just in the jase, I mean that
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: that is a heartbreaking, last Jady, you can three to
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: two and then lose six and seven at home, and
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: you were three outs away from the wind, two outs
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: away from the wim RoHS.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: HiT's the home run of the ninth.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: Fans and numerous wers in hockey were watching, including Kings
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: fans at Crypto dot com arena they watched, and Guerrero
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: even where Marie Felipe Team Canada Jersey as he entered
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: Rogers Center before Game seven. I'm sure you've had a
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: lot of tough losses in your career. That's about as
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: brutal as it gets for the Blue Jays.
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: Uh, quickly, you know, I'll make it funny before diving
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: into mind, But quickly, how relieved do you think the
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: maple leafs are?
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, how relief do you think the main
• 57:08
  Speaker 4: plates are?
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: Not to you know, not to the lot, but if
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: these guys would have won.
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: You go, all right, well the blue Jays winning that,
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: that gives us a few months, Like I'm not kidding.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: Before the Amazon Showman's like, all right now the season begins,
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: like everyone's just been kind of falling the blue Jays.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: Now people are gonna start watching Leaves when they were
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: down three to nothing after four.
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: This team sucks. Leaves aren't gonna make the playoffs.
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: Like now the attention is there, So you're right, if
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: the Jason won, that would have given them a reprieve
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: two more months.
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: All good?
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, I I was saying they were relieved
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: that the Blue Jays lost because they would have had
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: to deal with they were the last one to win
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: while it's been a while they won Joe Carter Holmer.
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it's except But I'm just like kind of
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: like I was, like, are they.
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: Kind of hoping they lose? Like they want them to win?
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: But they wouldn't be mad.
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, how how about those two I mean the
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: those two games, the amount of chances they had to
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: win and things that just went it against him, Like
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: obviously I don't know his name, but he was the
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: base runner that yet, Yeah, that got thrown out. I
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: mean no leadoff. He didn't have a secondary leadoff at all.
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: He did not have that whatsoever. He didn't leave when
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: the ball was thrown. He didn't start running. It was
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: crazy to me that he was thrown out at home.
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: And then obviously that Pages comes in and makes that
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: Andy po with the catch of the ages inside catch barries.
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: His teammate says, I'm the says I'm the captain, now
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: knocks him out, celebrates before looking back. But yeah, congratulations
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: of the Dodgers. Yeah, game seven loss. I was part
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: of one of only four instances in NHL history where
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: reverse sweep.
• 58:48
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 58:49

  Speaker 1: Bravo to the Kraken off to a great start and
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: loving Adam Sandler.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was pretty cool he shows up. I mean
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: my favorite one was there's a guy there's I can't
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: remember that. I don't know the player, but he went
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: as he never he didn't post anything on his own

  Speaker 3: you could dress dress, dress up whatever you want for Halloween.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 4: I don't give it.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: People take it way too seriously at times of like
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: I can't do this, you can't do just stress. You know,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: if you're in your group, obviously be careful what you're
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: posting on social media because once you do that, you're
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: in the public eye.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 4: But yeah, he was like tucked in the back.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: But somebody like saw the make America Great hat again
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: and we're like lost their mind.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: They whatckey players do?
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: I'm like, come on, it's like, well there's about four
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: or five Happy Gil wars with Seattle and maybe Ben
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: ears as Sohan.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 4: Okay, I like how you moved that? You move that along?
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Adam Sandler, Yeah, my favorite Adam Sandler. Okay, we'll
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: keep it PC for you because jeesuise.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: My favorite is Don't Mess With It's the best.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: One of the best underrated Adam Sandler movies is Don't
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: Mess with the Zohan. It's me Sohan Fizzy but bler Phizzy,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: but bler I I walk around the house. Yeah yeah, that,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: don't mess with the Zohan. I love the ode to
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: fifty First Dates. The guy uh not Drew Barrymore, the
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: brother Sean Sean Aston, Shawn Aston with the mess he
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: had the mess shirt on.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: Brandon Montour is the brother?
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: Tell us yeah, yes, Brandon, answer is the brother? That
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 3: was my That was the good the sneaky one. I
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: liked some of the undercover ones a lot, So it's
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: like that because you don't want to go like I'd
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: probably would do either domess with the Zohunter or I
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: do like Little Nikki.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 4: I think Little Nicky is another one.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: I know that people poo poo on it, but I
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: think it's a stupid, stupid funny. But that's what Adam
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: Sandler does. You'd make stupid funny movies that you can
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: watch in the background. And he tries to touch on
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: the Nostalgia Bone. So good job by the Seattle Crack
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: and I'd say they win Halloween.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: No, I think so two things.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: A fantastic job and so even Sandler's character is in
• 1:04:39
