  Speaker 1: And if you're ever wondered yourself like what, like why
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: do I listen to this podcast?
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: There's any other options out there?
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Because I'll tell you why, Because after game five I
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: said that came ended with a limp fish.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: And Jason de Merse is the only analyst in.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: The Western Hemisphere whose advice to the may ple lice
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: was to take a sealis and to get hard. And
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: clearly the Leaves took that advice and they did that
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: in game six. They took a Seahalis and they got hard.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: They won that game Game six when everyone else thought
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: they were done two nothing, and yet a rectile dysfunction
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: seemed to plague them once again in game seven as
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: they completely fell apart a flashid performance by the maple
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: leafs as the Panthers pushed them around the albumneuver them.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: The mayple Leafs are gonna maple leave.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Shame on any of you that thought, oh, this is
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: a different leaf year, Oh Core four, it'll be different,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: It'll be different since nineteen sixty seven, No, won't. The
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Leaves embarrassed themselves in the biggest game of the year
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: on home ice.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: In two huge games at home game five, they.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Got pumped and in Game seven six to one on
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Atrocity right now on Young Street.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Wow, I don't even need to add anything after that.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: That was it. That was as big a drubbing as
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: this game. You just drag them all the way to
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Pierson International and burn it to the ground.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: This is the way the Core four ends. I mean,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: if this shows you that Brandon Shanahan and the rest
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: of these guys see you later, why is Brendon Shanahan
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: still there after?
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: What? You know?
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Again, it's not the way they lose. It is game seven.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: I thought, you know, for parts of the series it
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: was very much and I'm gonna say this lightly, but
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: it very much was a more a well sorry, a
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: more well matched series. And people think it's just the
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: games that they lost. They did not piss a drop.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: And that's the issue is that the games they were
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: in and they were engaged, they were they were playing
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: great hockey. But the games the most important once Game
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: five on home ice, in game seven you go to
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: absolute sleep. The defensive mistakes were countless huge. Odd Man
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Russia is getting out work, getting out battled, Joseph Wall
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: letting in a couple of softies. It's just it's not enough.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Like again, we keep I feel like we constantly give
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: excuses to this Toronto Maple Leafs team and I don't
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: know what other core for guys have been given this
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: much opportunity to win a Cup and not do so,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: not get blown up. It is time. I'm sorry, nice
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: time for three years time. It's not blowing up. But
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: one of the one or two of these no, no,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: but one of what I mean by blow up is
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: mar Scott, one or two of these core four has
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: to go. They have to go. I'm sorry, it is
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: what it is. You have to move on, You have
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: to find something else. You got to take a swing
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: because what they've done. And I you know, bradfree Living,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: he did some great stuff this year, bringing in some
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: really good pieces.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I take that.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: I think if Anthony Stolars doesn't get a concussion, I
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: think he's this is a These two games that they
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: got blown out are much tighter, but I don't know
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: if the result would have been the same. But it's
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: just indicative of what this team does in these big moments.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: They just they they panic within their game and then
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: you know all series, nobody's yelling in game five, nobody's
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: on the bench screaming. It looks really quiet, and all
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, Games ten seven, everybody's screaming at each
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: other and I'm like, what you're doing this now? Like
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: you're doing this now, like now's not the time, like
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: it should have been done in game three, game four.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: You allow this to happen and then you panic in
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: the biggest moment in the biggest game instead of you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: releasing some pressure from the valve and then you know,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: like you said, take another sialis and get hard and
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: get going, because man like for them to play the
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: way they played in game six, they're in Florida improbable
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: like I was not Lyons. Nothing in the lions Den.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Minus two forty is the betting line for the Florida Panthers.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Everybody's thinking they're dead in the water. They go out
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: and they put on a performance, they block shots, and
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: what do they do in game seven? They run out
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: of gas once again. And the biggest thing is, you know,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: you can say Toronto Maple's apolas, but there's levels in
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: this league if if you want to win, and Toronto
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Mapleas aren't at the level to win a Stanley Cup.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Yet they're not there yet. They just it's close. It
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: may be close, but it's not close enough. It's not there.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: And if you're not there, you got to make a change.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: You got to make a change at the top. It
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: trickles down. Brendan Shanahan is at ample time. The needs
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: to move on. The needs to bring in new blood.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: There needs to be a new direction with this team,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: and it needs to result in one or two of
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: the core four being gone and maybe some other bigger
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: pieces be gone. You need to change the identity of
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: this franchise because you need to get it out. It's
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: been enough time, It's been long enough. All these other
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: guys that are gonna leave, whoever leaves Marner will probably go,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: maybe John Tavaras. These guys will have success in other places.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I alluded to last time Florida Panthers had a great
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: team when Jonathan Huberto was scoring over one hundred points.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: They had a fantastic team that could have potentially won
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: a Stanley Cup. Bill Zito did not think it was enough.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: He went and mixed huge trade Mackenzie Wieger Jonathan Huberto
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: for Matthew Kachuck, and it changes the identity that franchise.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: They going to win a Cup. Now, I'm not saying
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: they wouldn't win without Huberto or Wiger, but you have
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: to make those decisions. You've got to put your balls
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: on the line, and I just don't think they they
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: really truly have. I don't think Brendan Channon truly has
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: put his balls in the line yet. I think it's
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: been a lot of wait and see it. Now it's
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: that's it, It's done. This is the last one. You
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: you've seen what you need to see. You cannot you
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: got You got blown out by Florida two years in
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: a row. This is and not to listen, seven games,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: seven games. Anything can happen in a game seven. So
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: credit to them for getting there. But it's not enough
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: to win a Stanley Cup. And that is the only,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: the only point that needs to be made.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: One guy always works, as Paul Marie six and zero
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Game seven's in his career, love Mos. He comes through
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and gets his team prepared. Toronto's now lost seven straight.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Game seven is dating back to twenty thirteen. You mentioned
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: the core four, specifically, two shots for Mitch Marder, two
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: shots for Austin Matthews, two shots it's for Willie Nilander,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: one shot for John Tavars. The core four did not
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: step up with the most and it leads to more
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: searching and more soul searching and trying to find the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: right answer and back to your point. Each year there's
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a different fall guy, right to an old film noir.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Who's the fall guy gonna be in the Maltese Falcons?
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: So in the past?
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, it's it's Dubis, this moron here, This is pocket protective,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: this this analytical DWEP. Get him out of here, all right,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Sheldon Keith. He stinks, he doesn't know how to motivate
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: these guys.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: He blows.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Let's bring Craig Beruby, Craig Ruby's tough man, chief former flyer.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: This guy kicks ass up there. That didn't work out either.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Shit, Okay, well, as you said, you've got her of
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the GM, you got her the coach players.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: It's on Shanny. How is it not on Brendon Shanny?
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: And I respect him, I love it. How for fox sakes,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: what else are we gonna do here? Curly the president
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: is the guy doing the team. What was he got
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: pictures on people? He's got a lifetime deal Shanny, It's
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: been fun, buddy Sea.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you're a Panthers fan, God, you gotta
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: be so proud of this team. The guts, the fortitude,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the determination, give me some more synonyms like that, they
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: just clog up that neutral zone. Man, they lose the
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: first two games of this series, they don't even blake.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: We're gonna win the sucker in seven. Bob's gonna be
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: a fortress back there.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Like.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: They're an incredible hockey team to watch, top to bottom,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Like full admiration of them.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean their top players are top players. You know,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Sasha Barkovs one of the best players in the NHL,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: not enough credits, super underrated, Serge Bbovski, one of the
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: best goalies in the NHL and one of the most clutch.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: They do not have any Richard panic in their game.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: They do not panic one iota. This team is you know,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: they just they have leaders, they have winners, they know
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: what it takes. These guys are dogs on bone. They
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: just wear you down. I mean, if you look, and
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: I didn't mention this before, the amount of hits they
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: put on the defenseman of Tampa of Toronto, Chris tanneb
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: was hit over one hundred times in this playoffs, just
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: over a hundred times, you know me times Seth Jones
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: and Eric Eckblad, not even fifty, not even fifty times,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: over one hundred. That will wear on you. And they
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: just body shot, body shot, and everybody, you know, you.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Said, that's a crazy graphics start to catch up. They
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: sholl try all the leafs defensemen.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: You're right, the numbers are like eighty and above, just
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: getting massacred every time.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: And when you get hit, whether it's a big hit
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: or a small hit, it speeds up your thought process
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: and your decision making process. You don't move the puck
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: as smoothly as you normally would because you know that
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: you're gonna have a body on you. S see, I
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: gotta speed it up. I gotta speed it up. And
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: the forwards are being there like why are you guys
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: throwing it up our ass? Like why are we getting
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: bad passes? It's like because no one's slowing down these guys.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: And this is what they do. They just over a
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: seven game series. Uh, they just wear you down as
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: a defenseman. And there's nothing worse that even if it's
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: not a hard hit, somebody's rubbing in you every single
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: time to go back and get that puck over a
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: seven game series, you will be fatigue, You'll big exhausted.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: And you look at the d man on the Florida Panthers,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: huge games tonight. Look at the demon They're the highest
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: scoring defense cores in the Stanley Cup playoffs if over
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: twelve goals by defenseman.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: All right, so that does it with the guards the
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Panthers in the Maple Leafs.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: As far as the Dallas Stars are concerned, they do
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: indeed advance third straight, heading to the Western Conference Final
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: for the second street will we being the Edmonton Oilers
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: in the Final four thanks to Thomas Harley's overtime winner
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: ninety three seconds into extra time in Game six. And
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: it's interesting. One of the keys to me, obviously JD,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: was that Jake Ottinger saved. He was rock solid the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: entire game. Twelve goals in the entire six game series.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: That save on Mason Appleton. You look for a defining
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: moment in the series. You know, this wasn't the series
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: where you go, okay. We kept saying, could Connor Helbook
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: win a game on the road, could he finally overcome
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: his Demons. He wasn't the reason they lost. The Jets
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: didn't score, but that youre save as good as it gets.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Incredible moment.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Listen, Jake Gottinger won that series more than I
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: think Winnipeg lost it. I just think I was one
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: of the harder people on Connor hellibook all season, all
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: playoffs on the road. His last two games on the
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: road was were fantastic. He just could not get the
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: run support. And we kind of talked about it on
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: the network, like, I don't know if it's if the
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: team is just so worried about the losing record on
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: the road that they just tried to play such a
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: tight game, but they were getting offensive zone scoring chances
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: the last two games on the road in that series.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: But man, Jake Ottinger is something special and his he's
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: kind of they've been waiting for him to kind of arrive,
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: and you know, he's had some good playoffs, but nothing
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: like you know, eye opening of why he should be
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: the number one guy, you know, moving forward in the
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Olympics and anytime for Team USA and why they brought
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: him into be a franchise goalie. And he showed him
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: this series. He came alive. There's a lot of guys
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: that had breakout rounds for the Dallas Stars, and he
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: was one of them. And I still think people arguing say, well,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: he's been to the conference finals this and I'm like, no, no,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: that this is He's put on a statement in the
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: first two rounds.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: And as far as another guy who put on a
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: statement as Thomas Arlot, we've talked about before, how good
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: he is, how this was his coming out part of
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the four Nations. He sets up Sam Steele's time goal
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: in the second period before he got this series quincher.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: So obviously Harley, this was a big moment frame as well.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Well that what more can you say about a guy
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: that steps up in the absence of Miro Hayskin. And
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: the reason they were allowed to let Mero get fully
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: healthy and come back was because of Thomas Harley. If
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: it's not for Thomas Harley, they probably have to rush him.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: They don't win. He is as big a piece to
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: that team as Jake Ottinger. And you know, you can
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: really luck out when you get a one A, one
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: B defenseman on a team, and those are so hard
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: to find. You look at teams that they their whole
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: franchise is based on they cannot find a number one
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: defenseman and Dallas has two of them. And you know,
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: and also we can't say enough about Mero Hayskin and
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: coming back and logging just enormous minutes last game. I
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: think it's like over twenty two minutes. And he has
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: just been you know, for a guy to be out
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: for three and a half months come back and be
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: as effective as he's been is a testament to him.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Like there's not many guys like if you're out three
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: and a half months, ad Nan, like you're not getting
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: a look in the playoffs, little and like you gotta
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: go down to the minor, you got to. Like, but
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: a guy like that is so good and so hockey
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: IQ high in such an effortless skater that he's able
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: to do that. But yeah, back to Thomas Harley, like
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: just a breakout season, you know what a year he's
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: had four nations kind of leading this team in the
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Dallas Stars. And now look out because this is a
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: fully healthy Dallas Stars team that last year against Edmonton
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: was not fully healthy and that's kind of what did
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: the men in that series. So this is gonna be intersting.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Hayston twenty three minutes forty seconds. In Game six, Harley
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: played twenty five minutes for the Jets. We'll get to
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Shifley playing with a heavy heart and an enormous effort
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: in just a second. But for the Jets overall, ten
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: straight road playoff losses you alluded to, does it get
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: in their head to the fact they just can't win
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: away from Canada Life Center. But you gotta look at
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: the mirror and say, Okay, you've now lost all those
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: games I just mentioned. You're finished regular season fifty six wins,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: one hundred and sixteen points.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: A lot of questions answered. Nikolai Egler's unrestricted phase.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: He's not going to be back, gave the already restricted
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: free agent do for a nice raise.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: How do you tinker with the team? JD. How do
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: you get the Jets the next level?
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: And there's so incredible the regular season and they can't
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: get to a conference final.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think now's the time to overspend. I think
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: this is a big offseason for them. I think they're
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: gonna have cap space. They need to spend that money.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I don't think Nicola Eelers I haven't heard anything of him.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: He's going to get overpaid somewhere and rightfully so I
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: think he's a fantastic player. If you're looking at him
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: versus Mitch Marner, I'm taking nickol Eilers at three million
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: cheaper and probably going to be happier with him. He
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: was a dog in these playoffs. I don't think he
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: He just improved his capital and his his trade and
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: not as sorry as free agency value. So he's going
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: to test the market. But they got to go out
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: and sign a big player. They got to make a move,
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: or they got to trade trade picks and bring somebody
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: in because they're cut. They're right there, they're just they're
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: missing I think one more forward, you know, and but
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: you look at it, it's just one of those head
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: scratchers that I just think they ran in. They're in
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: that central division that if they're in the Pacific, they
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: probably cruise through the Pacific, but they're in the Central
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: and it's so tough to come out of there. It's
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: just a war. I think that Saint Louis series took
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: a lot out of them. Obviously they lose Josh Morrissey
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: in that game that looked it looked horrendous. What happened,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: So that was a big loss for them, and they
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: just kind of at the wrong time, got some injuries
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: and obviously some horrible news. But it's a team that
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: I think is you can guarantee they'll be back at
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: the top of the heap next year. And but I
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: think it's a big an offseason for them, Like they
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: need to really find somebody to come in and you know,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: find some depth scoring and some depth pieces because a
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: lot of that, a lot of that burden offensively falls
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: in that first line, and I think there's there's just
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: some holes in the depth that they need they can
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: they can bring in and shore up. I like their decor,
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: I do. I like they got to resign Samberg. I'm
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: pretty sure he's going to get off for sheeted, so
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: they got to make sure they get somebody that they
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: got to pay him and he's number one because I
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: thought he really improved euro every year and this is
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: going to be the This is going to be an
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: offseason for them. And then lastly, they need to get
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: a real true backup goalie they need.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: We've learned something with hell of it here, Like I'm
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: glad that, as you said, Game four game with three goals.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Game five pitches shut up.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Game six played well, so you can't see the rest
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: of the seris was lost by him. But clearly stop let
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: them play so much in the regular season, right fifty five?
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: That's it? Like what what are you chasing? What do
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: you need to feel better? Like it's in listen his
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: styles conducive to you know, they say that he's not
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: you know, it's it's not as fatiguing and it's not
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: as tiring, but it doesn't matter mentally the weight and
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: emotionally of playing these NHL hockey games over and over
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: again and then going and trying to find another level
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: in the playoffs, like you need to find And that's
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: the other thing. If you want to play that much great,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: you need a legitimate one bee that can come in
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: the playoffs if shit goes south, and which happened a
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: few times in these playoffs for Winnipeg, and I think
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: it made it a lot harder on them to get
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: out of that first round. In parts of the second round,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: I think if they weren't so hung up on you know,
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Hella Buck's road record and how he is on the road,
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: I think they probably do better. So they need a
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: guy that they can pull him early, and like a
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: little bit like Edmonton with Skinner and Picard, you need
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: a guy that you can trust, because they obviously showed
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: they don't trust air Comray at all.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: No doubt about that.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: And as far as playing with a heavy heart, I mean,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: this is an amazing job by Winnipeg's.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Ander Mark Stifley. He plays and opens the screen with
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: the Jets.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: This is literally hours after it to be able that
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: his father brought unexpectedly passed away on Friday night. So
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Shifley goes out there and was able to play a
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: whale of a game. He really just can't imagine what
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: it's going through his mind. I thought this was particularly notable,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Producer Tal pointing out some Dallas Stars fans took to
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the Internet to encourage one of them to donate fifty
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: five dollars, which is Shafey's number, to the True North
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Youth Foundation and Kidsport Canada, both cherries supported by Shafeley.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: That's a big time classman by Dallas.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Makes you think about.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Brett Farv very famously lost his father when the Monday
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Night football went out there, I feel like four touchdowns
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: are three hundred yards, said this is what my dad
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: would have wanted. You often to hear players say that, JD,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: It's what my dad would have wanted to be out there.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: But I think it's still a courageous moment and more
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: respect to Mark Schite to what he was able to
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: do out there.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a man. It's tough because you know, I
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: was talking to my mom about it today and my
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: dad too. It's like, you know, your your parents see
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: your first NHL game and most of the times you
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: know you're you're lucky enough that they see your last
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: NHL game. So you know, hell of a job by
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: him for you know, playing and honoring his father by
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: doing that. That to your point, courageous act. But yeah,
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: it's it's tough because you know they're the people that
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: support you. They are with you every step of the
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: way through your NHL career and leading up to it,
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: so to not be able to see it through with
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: them as well as you know, listen, it's it's a
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: parent You never want to see your your parents go suddenly.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: And you know, during a time like that where you're
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: you know, still playing and you're still kind of occupied,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: you want to be able to have as much time
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: as you can, and that's the biggest thing. So that
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: loss of time is is the saddest part about this.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: But you know, for him to go out and play,
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: and again, hats off to the Dallas Stars fans for
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: what they did. That's amazing and a really classy move.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: But you know, it's a loss of a parent's never easy.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: And you know, I thought he handled himself so admirably
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: and for him to score, you know, I saw a
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: tweet of like that was Mark Schaeffer assisted by Brad Shaifeley,
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: and that's just something that's so cool. You know, he
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: was looking down and smiling and you know that's how
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: the only way he probably knew how to honor his
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: father in that moment, and it was something his dad
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: probably would have wanted. So you know, hearts go out
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: to him big time, and he's I know him personally,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: he's a good kid, and I'm sure that's tough one
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: and it's never it's never easy seeing that hearing that,
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: or even I can only imagine what he must have
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: been going through.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: That's all I said. That's a great tweet as well.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: So the when I picked Jets are no longer moving on.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: We'll do our second round previous in just a second,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: but first special guest ever wondered the creation of the
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Soup Nazi?
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: How did the Elaine Dance come to be?
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Spike Ferriston wrote some the most iconic Seinfeld episodes, a
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: worked on David Letterman for years. The difference is between
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Jerry and Dave. All that more coming up. We're throwing
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: a little curveball here. Spike Ferrison's coming up after this
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: on NHL and scripted our next guest. An accomplished writer
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: and comedian best known for his work on Seinfeld and
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: both of David Letterman's late night shows. He's also written
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: for The Simpsons, The Dana Carvey Show, and Space Ghost
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Coast to Coast. He was the host of Talk Show
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: with Spike Ferristone and Fox and now hosts Spike's Car Radio.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: It's Spike Ferristons. Spike, it's great to see you man.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for the time.
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, good to be here, guys.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Let's start first off with car Radio.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Great guests out of the gates, Carol Lee for obviously
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Jerry Seinfeld, good friends of yours.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Where did this concept come from?
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: This came from Jerry and I and a couple of
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: friends taking drive every weekend out to Malibu, and you know,
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: we would stop and get coffee and sandwiches at this
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: little deli, and we noticed people were kind of leaning in.
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: And once someone even transcribed our conversation and put it
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: in the Malibu Times, And while Jerry was a little
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: upset about it, I.
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: Said, you know, I think this could be an opportunity.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: People really want to listen to our stupid conversations while
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: we record them and see if we can find a following.
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: And here we are in our eighth year and we
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: just launched on YouTube, and I guess people think of
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: us as a downloadable cars and coffee that really, you know,
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: covers entertainment, comedy, cars in the southern California automotive scene.
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: I think it's the best way to describe it.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Spike's car Radio again.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: We're talking to Spike Ferriston right now on Obviously we're
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: all Seinfeld fan. Spike, my brother's a massive Seinfeld guy.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: So I text him earlier I said I'm talking to Spike,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: which I asked him, and he goes hey. In the
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Soup Nazi episode, apparently Spike actually witnessed a cusher the
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: real life Souper Kitchen comprying the actual guy to al
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Pacino can verify that.
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: Yes, that really happened.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: A very unfortunate woman in front of me said to
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: the real soup Nazi New York on fifty fifth and eighth,
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: you know you kind of look like al Pacino. In
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: the episode, he says a different line than he said
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: in real life.
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: In real life, it was.
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: A stream of expletives that I will spare you. It
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: was really horrible, and I felt really awful for the woman,
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: but but true to form, myself and everybody in the
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: line just kind of turned away and pretended we didn't hear.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: That's what most brilliant episodes I've ever written, and it
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: proves against Spike comedy comes from real life sources.
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: You sometimes, yeah, sometimes, yeah, sometimes, But a lot of
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: that is real, A lot of that that happened in there,
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: And and Larry and Jerry were you know, it's great
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: that they put it on because they could have changed
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: a lot of it. And I would go, you know,
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: that's real and this is real, and they go, okay,
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: let's do it. It's funny enough.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Is there any other episodes that stand out to you?
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: I know there's wig Master, muffin Top stuff like that,
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: But is there one that stands out more than because
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: you get the most acclaim is souper Nazi, But you know,
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: there's so many other amazing ones that you kind of
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: partook and helped write.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: You know, the Elaine Dance seems to get a lot
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: of play, you know, Little Kicks, the Brooklyn Cyclones.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: Every summer the Mets minor league team have an.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: Alaye dance thing, and I see it on the internet
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: all the time, which is really fun, you know, But
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: I had no idea we were writing things that we'd
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: be talking about with you guys. You're just trying not
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: to get fired. You're like, Okay, well this is guy.
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: I know he's got a terrible dancer.
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: Little Kicks. Great, let's try that. Let's do it, you know,
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: go ahead. That was the fun of the show, you know.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: Larry said early on, I don't want you guys to
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: come in and make up stories. I want you to
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: tell me stories from last night. You went on a date,
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: you went to a party, and this happened. You haven't
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: stopped thinking about it, and you're polite, guys. I'm sure
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: you did the right thing. But what did you want
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: to do? What did you want to say? What did
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: you think about doing next? He said, that's where the
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: stories for this show are, and it was the perfect advice.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: You know, it is great advice.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I know you weren't involved with the episode The Face Painter,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: but it's a hockey podcast, so just c respect any stories.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: David Putty the Devil's Fandom Tonic episode.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I loved anything with David Putty embarrassing Elaine.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: That was always the most fun because, you know, with
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: the eight ball jacket is a good example that, like
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: when I was living in New York, there are two
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: things that would upset me on my walk to work,
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: men wearing fur coats. I just is like, I don't
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: I don't understand what this is and I needed to stop.
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: And then the eight ball jacket was another one. This
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: this horrible.
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: You know, I'd be on the.
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: Subway and go, what the effort is this guy?
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Dude?
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: Does he know how bad he looks? And with Putty,
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: I thought, well, there's that guy. I can i and
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: start putting this stuff on him and maybe help New
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: York not have to experience this, you know, by you know,
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: embarrassing everybody who's wearing them in New York.
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: But I think it's now had the opposite effect.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Maybe to add NAT's point of us being a hockey podcast,
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: and you know, we're both just huge fans of all
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: your works, so we're like, I screw the hockey. But
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: you know, you grew up in mass and that's a
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: huge sports town. Yeah, do you kind of have any
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: memories of growing up and was hockey kind of ever
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: part of your life in any semblance or any form.
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: There's no real life in Massachusetts other than sports. So
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: very early on, if you know, I was thinking about
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: it and I knew would get get to this point,
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: and I was thinking, I grew up on a street,
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: like there were three streets of boys. So you would
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: go to school, you'd play school sports, you'd come home
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: and you played every single sport played, including ice hockey
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: and street hockey mostly, and there's only you know, for me,
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: I'm a little older, there was only one guy. Bobby
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: Orr was the guy in you know, Massachusetts who you
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: wanted to be. And the Bruins hadn't won for all
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: of those years. I don't It might have been as
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: far back as the forties and then you know, I
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: think I was two years old maybe when they got
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: Bobby Orr on the team, and then in nineteen seventy
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: they won the Stanley Cup, and then again seventy two,
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: maybe somewhere around there, and you know, so you know,
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: for me, it was funny because when we would play
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: these games, we were all Bobby Orr and if you
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: were the goalie, you were Gordy Howe. So there's two
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: Gordy Howe's and all Bobby Orr's were all playing each
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: other in hockey. And now you know, I have a
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: kid in high school who plays lacrosse, which I knew
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: nothing about, and I've had had to have a crash
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: course in that, and I find that's very much. He
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: plays box lacrosse in the fall in the summer, and lacrosse,
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: you know, they just wrapped their season and won the championship.
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: But it's very much like hockey, you know, you know,
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: penalty boxes and the rest of it.
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: So you know, it's funny.
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: I've started thinking about hockey again because of lacrosse.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: No, it's a great point. Steve Levy, of course from ESPN,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: was our recent guest. He was telling us difference in Boston,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: New York he said, New York. You know, there's obviously
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: a great sports fan, so they're passionate, especially in the building,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: but seventy five percent of people might be fans of
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Broadway or foodies, etcetera.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: And yeah, yeah, everyone's a sports fan. Everywhere you go
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: you see a Red Sox's.
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: Well, there's a reason that we don't have anything else.
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: We've got We've got we've got decent clam chowder, bluefish
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: in this summer, and then sports. And it's like, you know,
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: it's one of the funniest things is the women as
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: they get older, they become massive sports fans. Like my
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: mom is in her eighties, she's eighty six right now,
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: and in April, I said, how do the Red Sox look?
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: And she could have she could have guessed it on
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: this show the next thirty minutes of her appraisal of
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: who is traded?
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: Who coming on? What's happening? Where I think it's going?
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: I was, I was shocked.
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: This woman never went to one of my.
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: Baseball games growing up, and it's so funny to watch
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: it happen. And you know, I used to bartend in
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: Boston to put myself through college, and I would meet
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: these you know these folks, these Red Sox fans in particular,
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: these guys, these men and women who are like in
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: their eighties, who were like, I'm staying alive. I'm staying
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: alive in the hopes that the Red Sox will win.
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: And they're not smiling. It's not a joke. They're like,
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: this is what's carrying me forward. I'll bet you if
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: you looked at the stats of two thousand and four,
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: it was a big die off. Yeah, they were like,
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: all right, I'm out, hold on in two thousand and seven.
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: No, I'm gone.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: But yeah, we love sports because it's it's cold and
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: it's miserable there and it brings us so much joy,
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: I mean my years in Worcester, mass were a lot
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: of cold at hockey. And yeah, yeah, I want to
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: kind of put you on the spot and you know,
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: your gear heads, and then I also want to say,
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: if you were to kind of compare a car to
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: the NHL or hockey, what would that car be in
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: you know, if that that's me putting on you on
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: the spot as much as I can, but what would
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: that car be to you? Something that kind of personifies
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: and embodies hockey in your eyes.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: Well, there's there's a great new event that Porsche puts
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: on with one of the Porsche kids firty and it's
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: called a fat ice race, and it it goes. It's it's,
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: it's it's like they they have beautiful old cars like
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: five fifties and three fifty six's, sometimes with spikes on
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: the tires and they they drag people on skis behind
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: them and have these races twice a year. It's an
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: amazing event. And you know, Porsche has a there there
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: there there have always been ice races, and a friend
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: of mine owned a car, a three fifty six that
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: has they there are these like rubber tires with these
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: big spikes on them and they race on ice. I
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: mean to me, that's that's as hockey as you can get.
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: You know, you're just flying around a track on ice
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: with giant spikes on your tire. The Swedes do it.
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: It's you know, it's it's it's a big thing in
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: the Nordic countries. But that's your hockey. I don't know
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: if anybody's fighting. I guess the La freeways are the fights.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I like the studs on the tires a little rough.
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, The studs on the tires. Yeah, yeah, we get
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: a lot of a lot of rage here.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Now you mentioned let him in earlier one of your bosses.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Of course, Dave is a huge gear have we know
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: how much he loves auto racing and all this years,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I remember I haven't worked at ESPN. He's going to
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: tell me. You know, this is like eighties. You couldn't
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: get certain races. So Dave would drive to Bristol, Connecticut.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: They let him in the backyard just so we could
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: watch the races. He was he was that much of
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: an enthusiast one oh yeah, f one or you know
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: at that time Indy car.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: But I wanted to ask specifically.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Darren Demiterio is a friend of mine who worked at
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: the years ago to USPN.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: He worked on Late Joe.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: He was one of the guest bookers, and he said
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: I didn't interact much with Dave. We'd see him once
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: a year, you know, the Holliday party. Say allow kind
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: of thing, he said, But but he did have some
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: great moments with guests, and he says his favorite single
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: moment working for years and Late Night with David Letter
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: was he met Don Rickles the first time he's in
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: the brain or whatever. And the next time Don Rickles,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: this is like three years later, Don Nichols.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Is there and Darren's keeping in company. I have a
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Rickles season without missing a meating. He goes, and by
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: the way, Darren's about five for five. He goes, im,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: gross is the last time I saw you?
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: And he goes, you know, being insaulted by Don Rickles
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: was like such a badge of honor for him.
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Working on that show, what memories not necessarily just of Dave,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: but of the guests and the people around him.
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: Well, Dave, I remember doing a charity go cut race,
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: you know, with a lawnmower, engines and stuff for charity
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: on his Saturday. And we're down we're down Wall Street
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: area and the phone is ringing and and it's Dave
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: calling up Rob Burnett and I'm like, what is Dave?
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: What is he? He goes, he he wants us to
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: win this race. And I'm laughing. He goes, I'm serious.
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: He goes, he doesn't want us to come in fifth.
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: Go does he know what we're doing here? We're racing
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: against Applebee's in coke.
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: Cards just to raise awareness for MS or something. He goes, Yeah,
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: you gotta win. We got to find a way to win.
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: And he had He had called me down in the
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: office earlier that week and and you know, walked into
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: my office, which was rare.
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: He was on the fourteenth floor. I was on the
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: twelfth floor. And I look over and he sits down
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: and he goes, uh. He goes, so what are we
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: doing to win the race? And I, you know, well,
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: we'll studying the line of the track and the orange cones. David,
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: he goes, no, seriously, he goes, why are you here?
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: And I go, I got to write the top ten list.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: He goes, no, he goes, you got to get out
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: to the race shops in Long Island and figure out
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: how to win this cut?
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: Dam are you are you asking me to cheat?
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: He goes, I didn't say that, but there's a gray area.
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: And so I left the office that day and went
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: out and started, you know, talking to these guys in
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: these race shops.
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: I didn't even know what these places were.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: And came back with like different springs for the throttle
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: and different racing plugs. And the best hack was this
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: purple racing gas that was under and twenty outat or
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: something and uh, and we you know, we we fixed
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: up the cart and my cart won.
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: We we won.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: We were just blasting everybody. And at the end of
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: the race, the judges came over and they I go,
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: what do they do? They go, they got to inspect
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: the cart, and I went, oh, man, and they looked
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: at it, looked at the spark plugs, they took out
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: the gas, they saw the color, and then they came
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: over and they said, you're you're being.
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: Busted down a fifth place for what is the charity event.
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: He goes, We're not disqualifying you, but we're giving you
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: best uniforms.
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: And so if you watch the show the following Monday,
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: that's what that's what.
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: Dave congratulated us for uniform but he.
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: Wasn't he wasn't unhappy because we had done, you know,
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: what we set out to do, and we did win.
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: We just didn't get the trophy, but boy does he
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: care about racing.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: That's that's unbelievable. Kind of what other differences did you
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: find working with Letterman And then also you know Jerry
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: Seinfeld Larry David like, how how was that kind of
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: just experience and how many little subtleties were the same
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: between them or just was it just completely different between both.
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: Oh, very very different.
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: But like any business, everything trickles down from the top, right,
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: you know, it's a culture that's kind of run by
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: the guy up top. And both of those places I
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: remembers being so fun, you know, Dave there, there were
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: just you know, instead of working sometimes in a conference room,
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: I would be in the hallway with this big driver
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: that John Daly had given Dave, that Dave had given me,
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: just driving golf balls into the wall with some of
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: the writers were getting big holes into the wall. And
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: you know, at the time, you know, GE and NBC
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: owned the show, so no one cared about the offices,
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: and you know, it was it was like that. And
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: then we'd go, hey, maybe there's a bit and hitting
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: golf balls. Maybe we can take snowmobiles on top of
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: a parking garage. It was always mischief in the office
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: and then on the show, you know, And that was
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: so fun for me because I was always getting in
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: trouble in high school and college for these things, and
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: now I was being paid to do it, you know,
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: and you know, yeah, it was a way of turning
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: a big negative in my life into a job.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: One more for you, Spike, tow's a big the Data
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Carvey Show. He wanted to ask you about it, Go
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: ahead tell you, yeah, yeah.
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: I mean, I'm sure, Spike, you get asked about a
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: lot of different shows you worked on. But I feel
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: like the Dana Carvey Show has taken on sort of
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: like a mythical energy as time has passed, especially considering
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: how long the show was actually on the air. And
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: you look at some of the names involved with the
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: show at the time, Louis c. K and Robert Smigel
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: and Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, I know, you know, yeah,
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: it was. It was a short lived adventure for all
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: you guys. But I'd love to hear any sort of
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: any sort of memories really from that experience.
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: Well, I was on Seinfeld at the time when the
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: show launched, and I watched their first episode and lost
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: my mind. I thought, I think there was a Bill
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: Clinton like nursing puppies sketch and you know, which isn't
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: so shocking now, but back then, remember everything was time slots, right,
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: so you know, eight to nine o'clock was Family Hour,
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: and nine o'clock, who is going to get a little
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: more dangerous that.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Was.
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: That was definitely one am to two AM at the time.
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: So when it went on, I went, Oh my god,
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: and I watched this show and I just thought it
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: was absolutely brilliant that Smigel had done such a great
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: job with it. And I know Dana really well. I've
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: always known what a huge talent he is, and it
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: was I believe it was a mid season replacement. So
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: like right around April, I called my agent up and
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: I said, I've got like three or four weeks off.
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: Do you think you can get me a job on
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: the show, because I'd love I just love to spend
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: my vacation working there. I don't even care if they
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: pay me. I just want to be around it because
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: the comedy is so good. So weirdly it worked and
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: they had one position, and I brought my friend Steve O'Donnell,
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: was a former head writer of Letterman, and we went
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: We went in there. We shared an office with Stephen
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: Colbert and Steve Carell and you know who were new
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: And I remember saying to Steve, I go, geez, these
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: guys are so talented, but I don't think they're going
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: to go anywhere if this show doesn't work.
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: And at some point I got a phone call. Oh no,
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: the ABC executive came in and said, can we talk
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: to you guys? And I said sure, and they said, well,
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: you know, what's your plan?
• 38:13
  Speaker 6: You know?
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: And I said, well what do you mean. They go, well,
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: we hired you because we thought you could save this show.
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: And then we went, oh, no, no, no, we love
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: the show. We wanted to do exactly what Smigel and
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: Dana want to do. Somehow, my agent had pitched me
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: because the show was in trouble to come in and
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: fix it and got it entirely wrong. And I think
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: that was like the final beat of the story for
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: the show. We just wrote, whatever Dana and Smigel we're
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: looking for, and you know, and then it didn't work,
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: you know, it just fell apart. But it was really
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: just the time slot that did it, you know. It
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: was just in the wrong spot.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 38:57
  Speaker 7: And another another one I had to asked about. A
• 38:59
  Speaker 7: friend of ours is Rob Burnette. I don't know if
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: you were, Yeah, yeah.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Huge Rangers fan.
• 39:06
  Speaker 7: He's told me that when the Rangers brought the Stanley
• 39:08
  Speaker 7: Cup on Letterman in nineteen ninety four, that's like one
• 39:11
  Speaker 7: of the highlights of his life. I'm just curious about
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: any exchanges with him. Did he ever try to get
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: you involved with, you know, a fan of the Rangers,
• 39:19
  Speaker 7: or any friendly rivalries with.
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm pretty sure didn't Rob build a hockey rink
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: in his front yard. That's how much he loves hockey.
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: I am fairly certain. Someone told me that and said,
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: you're not gonna believe what Burnett did. And I'm pretty
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: sure it was built a hockey rink in his front yard.
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: Jerry has a baseball diamond in his front yard.
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: I have bushes.
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: But I think Rob was also behind this really epic
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: Christmas party where we all skated and played hockey, and
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: that would make sense if he's a big hockey fan.
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: Where we all came out, we got the gear, it
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: was the entire staff. We played hockey to the best
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: of our ability. You know, I remember coming into the
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: stands after going wow, you know, I didn't know I.
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: Had this talent to play. I can't wait to see
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: the footage. And then we all looked like three year
• 40:19
  Speaker 6: olds on skates for the first time.
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: What we thought we had done on the rink and
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: what in actuality was recorded.
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: We're just so like a Canyon apart.
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: It was such a funny experience, you know, and it
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: gave me so much respect for players because I thought, Wow,
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: I was really doing this and we weren't even close.
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: We weren't even close. But Rob was decent.
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: He was good.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: That's great.
• 40:44

• 40:49
  Speaker 1: Just looking at the ample episodes alone, you've got Patrick
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: long in the future of Porscha mcmurcery smoking the Porsche
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: GTS or asked Jerry Seinfeld's multimillion dollar Rolex and cyber
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: truck not accepted.

  Speaker 2: I got closed with this, Spike. I know you guys
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: de bait of this. I'll listen to the episode.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: But whether not the Tesla cyber truck is a legitimate flop,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: The short answer it is.
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: You know, I I know the fellas that designed it.
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: I you know, I I drove it, and I did
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: like the way it drove. It just has no hope
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: of ever becoming something that looks normal in our environment.
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: And and you know, I know it's a highly political topic,
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: but let's set that aside. It looks like a dumpster
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: with four wheels. And I live I live on the
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: west side of LA and there's got to be thirty
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: or forty of them floating around. And every time you
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: can see the people roll in their eyes when they
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: go by, they're they're unsightly, and I think they're going
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: to forever kind of be like a Dolorean or you know,
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: any any car that never quite works as styling wise,
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: exterior design wise, with what's going on in our world.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: Just it's just a bad look. There's no question about
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: Spike's car. Yeah, Spike Pherson, Thanks so much, Spike. This

  Speaker 1: Smudge the Blades, a dramatic comedy that centers are in
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: a group of indigenous hockey players in northern Alberta. Clearly,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: JD is a man who can appeal to lots of
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: different Vinis who do not believe he's of indigenous origin.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: But hey, you never know, you.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: Gonna have a little bit of chip awat chair k exactly.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: We go way back in the bloodlines. Who knows?
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: Bottom line is you need to show your range here?
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: What is it gonna take to get you an audition?
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: I don't know if this they just woke left. I
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: won't just hire me enough. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: I'm just kidding. Uh too, white listen, I could play
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: the races if you want me to, Ladies and gentlemen,
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: I will do that hard task of embodying the guy
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: being like, you can't play here.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: You gotta have one of those guys. Man, that's a
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: critical movie.
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I also want to you can play, everybody can play.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: Let me play.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: I also wanted to get the review because you haven't
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: told what you thought of Henry Johnson David Manmitt's new
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: movie starring Shilah buff All. All you text was I
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: started Henry Johnson and they didn't tell me you finished it.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: That's an eighty one minute movie, so I'm gonna guess
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: you didn't like it.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: No, I actually I actually love the pacing of it.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: I watched it with Jill and Jill. You know, Jill
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: immediately she went and completely bind and within five minutes
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: she's like, this is really this this show is like
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: a play. And I'm like, yeah, it's it's same thing.
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: It's very quick pace. I mean, I think Shila buff
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: is incredible. I mean, he is so good that just
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: that that scene in the you know, when that initial
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: in seeing him meeting in the prison cell and him
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: talking and just you don't know what's going on, and
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: he's his movement around the cell where it always seems
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: like threatening, menacing, but he's not. But he's like, you know,
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: providing wisdom and it looks like, you know, you keep
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: thinking like he's gonna grab him, he's gonna do something,
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: but it just seems like he's offering advice and like
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: almost like being a psychologist with him and talking to
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: him mentally about how he is as a like basically
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: like dissecting him. As he's moving around, You're like, what's
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: he gonna do? Is he gonna swing on them? So
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: I just thought it was a very tense scene. And
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: but I mean, Chaievs I that guy. Everything he does.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: If he just wasn't cuckoo for Coco Puffs, he would
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: be like you look at him and I'm gonna just
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: leave it at that, like you look at him and
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: Timothy Shallow. I mean nothing against Timothy Challamy.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: But I featured on sixty Minutes, a huge profile on.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: I think shi is is, if not one of the
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: best actors around and does not get enough love because
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: he's just a little bit.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: The second round previews, we go Stars and Oilers.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: As you mentioned earlier, these two teams met in the
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: West Final last season, Edmonton one and six.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Before that, Dallas lost in the West Final at six.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: The Vegas Golden Knights, you talk about Ransom, your referred
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: him as Herculean, made his Star's debut against the Oilers
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: March eighth, gold assistant of five to four Oilers win.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: Now there's two things that can be true.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: You and I both said the winner of Dallas and
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: Colorado wins the Stanley Cup.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: That may still be true.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: But you and I also said we're not counting out
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: against Edmonton again. We both called the Kings, we both
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: called Vegas. So which of those two facts we stick with?
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I'm not calling against the Oilers again.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: I know that the underdog in this series. I'm not
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: doing it again. I'm calling the oilers in seven.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: What do you got? Yeah?
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: I man, it's just so tough because you look once again,
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: you got Jake ore versus Stuart Skinner, Calvin Picard, two
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: headed monster, and then you now have Hayskin and an
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: Harley to skate with McDavid and dry titles, so you
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: have pieces in place, but I cannot McDavid looks like
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: he wants to rip somebody's face off right now, like
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: every game he is. I mean he was, They're up
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: three to one and he backchecked and almost decapitate himself
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: on the post to backcheck like in the first period
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: of a game, like watch you watch these like you
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: know you you watch these other series and these other superstars.
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: Not one of these guys is doing that. This guy
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: wants to win so bad, going after the media after
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: being like, is that how you look at how we
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: played defensively? Like tired of answering this question, I'm like,
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: this guy is gonna ship somebody in the bathroom just
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: to win a cup right now, like he wants it
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: so bad. So I just don't know. I think Dallas
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: is better than they were last year, but I think
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: Edmonton's better than they were last year. So this is
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: gonna be an interesting series. And I predict that Edmonton
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: is gonna implement the same style they did against Vegas,
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: which is they are going to get to Andre. They
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: are going to be in his face all series. So
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: I'm interested to see how that decoor handles that much pressure,
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: because up to this point, you know, Colorado skilled team
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: Winnipeg a little bit more defensive structure, you know, other
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: than the liwtery line, they're not that imposing physically. Edmonton
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: has proven to be physically imposing in these playoffs, and
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be interested to see how they handle that pressure.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: Do you want to give you a prediction? What do
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: you got? All right?
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: I'm not bet We said we have to a lot.
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: We can't lie to the masses and truth be told,
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: as much as I want to lie to the masses
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: and flip flop, flip flop, no oilers, We're gonna go
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: with the Oilers. We need Canada to win. We need
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: Canada to win.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: That still stays a lot, by the way that prediction
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: would have felt a lot better it was Winnipeg. Oh well,
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: we're riding these Oilers team. Next up Hurricanes and Panthers.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: So this series is interesting because again the Panthers with
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: the effort that they showed unbelievable in Game seven against Toronto.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: But I wouldn't say Carolina showed me something. But I
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: did not think they would dispatch the Capitals in five.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: I think I had the Hurricanes winning, but I'm like
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: that was a strong effort from start to finish. I
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: still question the lack of a game breaker. Although Svetscha
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: Copp has been great, and I'm not gonna again dispute
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: that Freddie Anderson has not been well of these stories
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: of this.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: Playoffs, how good he has been.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: Having said that this Panthers team, I see them going
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: to the third straight Stanley Cup.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: I will call Panthers in six.
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: When an immovable object meets an unstoppable force. Is the
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: Carolina Hurricanes versus the Florida Panthers, which for check will
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: get there first. Nice And I tell you what if
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: Freddie Anderson keeps playing the way he's playing in Jacob's
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: Slave and now now they're getting old Slave Daddy, which
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: he's gonna be all over there with stick on puck.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: Can they handle the for check of Florida and get
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: and play that boring hockey that has won them so
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: many games and frustrated the hell out of teams. I
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: do not think they've been tested yet in these playoffs.
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: That's the only issue. They got a new Jersey Devil
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: teams that was the Walking Dead, and they dispatch the
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: Washington Capitals, which I just think we're fatigued a little
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: bit older. This is a different animal than the Florida Panthers.
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: I want to take a flyer and Jeorde Martin hook
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: fan of the show. I want to see Carolina gets there,
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: much of the chagrin of the NHL and the revenue
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: sharing model. I think the Carolina Hurricanes, I think they
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: do it in seven. I don't know. I like that
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: against Florida, but I have to go sideways on this
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: because fold pick. I like what I've seen against Florida.
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: But I just think that Carolina might have something here
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: and I want to see them with everybody shit talking
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: them all season about the trades they messed up. I
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: want to see this team with a chip on their shoulder,
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: with Taylor Hall Mista Scheschnikoff and Jacob Slave in this boring,
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: boring ass team. Yeah, I want this high flip and.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: Ram blogging up the neutral zone.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: That's and I just want them to get there because
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: it's gonna piss everybody off. And that's why I want it,
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: because when everybody's eggs's daddy's eggs, it's.
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: A great Consuron take. I love it, second time in
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: three seasons.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: Hurricanes Panthers Eastern Conference Bottle Florida swept the Canes in
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three before losing to Vegas and the cup
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: file of the Panthers took two or three games against
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: Carolina during the regular season, though they haven't played since January.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: Second and one final the great Rod Brendan were played
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: under Paul Maurice when they were in Carolina together, so
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: interesting coaching matchup as well. One more thought here before
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: we get the three Stars World Championships in Sweden and Denmark,
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: we spoke to sharkspore Re Tyler to fully how Maclin
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: celebrity could learn something from Sidney Crosby. Well, thirty seven
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: year old Crosby eighteen year old celebraty. They've been a
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: four so far for Team Canada seven nothing went over
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: Slovakia on Saturday. Crosby two goals to assist Max Elliott
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: goal and two assists. How much can I think celebrity
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: is having playing with Crosby.
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just already regretting my pick of taking
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: the Carolina Hurricanes.
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: No, I think it's right, such a gutsy picks.
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: It's the dumbest pick ever. You could please add this
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: to it as well, just have it say a few
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: moments later and me just being like, I completely.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: No, no, but everyone's SIGs. You're gonna sag.
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: I love it. But this Florida team is just an
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: absolute wagon. But yeah, I mean, if I'm Sidney Crosby
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: and I'm playing with Maclin celebrity right now and he
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: is just dishing and the chemistry high, I'm rethinking not
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: asking for a trade out of Pittsburgh and be like,
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: this is how the other half can live when I'm
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: playing with these young kids that are just so good
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: and can get me the puck over whatever the dumpster
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: fire is and the Pittsburgh Penguins right now. So but
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: it's fun to see him. You know, they're having a blast.
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: It's a great tournament I played there. It's such so
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: much fun. Everybody's calm, everybody's having fun, and you know,
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: especially in these round robin games and you're just piss
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: pumping these teams like from Slovenia and like these teams
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: that have no NHL players and this is a stacked team.
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: It is so much fun because you're just like, oh, yeah,
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: we just globetrotters this, and that's what it's looked like
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: right now. But yeah, it's it's I'm sure celebrity is
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: having a ton of fun too, playing with Sidney Crosby
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: and you know, learning so much. This is going to
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: help him, you know, help him, help him big tight.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: And he hearing that Connor Bodard said no to the
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: World Championships is crazy to me.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I just said it'll certainly help sell bring
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: his developments.
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: Why wouldn't Connorverdard go there? I don't I won't to
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: understand that.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's an I guess all right, three stores,
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: three stars just be closed the shop. I'll give it
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: to Mark Schiffley, honoring his father Brad literally hours aftere
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: Feenerty passed week, goes up there and scores a goal.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: The Jets may have lost the game, but it was
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: a great moment for all of the games bright young Stars.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: Props to Mark Scheifeley for playing with a heavy heart.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: Who do you got, jad?
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: I'm going with Seth Jones, fan of the show. I
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: just what a game, What a step up he is?
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: I think all time minutes by defenseman in the playoffs,
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: he is like number three on the list at like
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: twenty eight minutes average. Uh. And he's just been doing everything.
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: What a trade. Everybody scoffed at that trade, But Seth
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: Jones is a number one, number one B defenseman and
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: he has been proving that. And this team, this Florida
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: team looks scary once again, and they have that belief
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: and they're just walking their way to this and the
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: Cup finals. But not if the Carolina Hurricanes have something
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: to say, go ahead.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: Tell your pick. Yeah, I mean, I gotta go with
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: Brad Marshaw.
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: It's just the excell too, Florida Panthers.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: No, none of us the impressive in Game seven, none of.
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: Us taking Any Edmonton Oilers players.

• 53:32
  Speaker 8: Marshaw I mean, this guy's gonna be haunting Leafs fans
• 53:34
  Speaker 8: nightmares for generations what he's done to this team over
• 53:38
  Speaker 8: the years. You know, eight points in seven games in
• 53:41
  Speaker 8: this series against Toronto, including a goal and two assists
• 53:45
  Speaker 8: in game seven.
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, how the the game, game five and Game
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: seven drubbings of the Toronto may be leiefs that hurts
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: so bad?
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: Well, that's how we start the show. That's how we
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: end the show.
• 53:59
