I'm Abby and I'm Anna, and this is serious beef.
0:02
Welcome. Welcome back, listener.
0:06
Welcome back. Let's get into it.
0:07
Let's go. We got some beef.
0:08
Let's go see some serious beef. Let's see if this episode goes
0:12
up on time. Because we we are slackers.
0:15
Well, technically last time I wasn't slacking at all.
0:19
I wasn't behind but I accidentally posted it an entire
0:22
day. You jumped a gun is what you
0:24
did, and then I completely forgot to post the photos
0:27
photos. I thought, you know, what the
0:29
hell? We'll just, we'll see if anybody
0:31
even notices. It's all good.
0:33
They think they did OK, but you know what, listener?
0:36
Erica has abandoned me so she wasn't at the office to give me
0:40
shit over. Oh, you know what then that then
0:41
it's. It worked out all right, so it.
0:42
Worked out all right. We're going, we're going to,
0:44
we're going to start over, try to be on, try to post things in
0:47
the right order. Although storms are coming once
0:49
again, not just your little cat. It's true.
0:52
We actually have tornado warnings and watches and all
0:55
kinds of things going on. I'm hoping I get a new roof.
0:58
So here's here's hoping. Here's.
0:59
Hoping. So fingers crossed on and to get
1:02
some new roof and we're going to try to record this as quickly as
1:05
possible unfortunately because we need it to be an hour long.
1:08
It's going to be 60 minutes whether we like it or not.
1:10
So maybe it's. Better if we just talk slow.
1:12
OK, OK, maybe, yeah, maybe. No, it's speed.
1:14
Speed through it. Well, I have serious beef.
1:18
This is not. This is not a light beef.
1:21
It's not. Lean beef.
1:23
It's not lean by any means. Or veggie beef.
1:27
Not impossible, not impossible beef.
1:30
It wasn't impossible. It felt like an impossible
1:32
experience. I see we go to get new phones
1:36
and if anybody out there has ever had to buy a new phone and
1:40
transfer your data and and whatnot from your old phone to
1:43
your new phone, you know that it is a painful experience at
1:47
times. I honestly believe that it is
1:49
worse than buying a new car. It was I would disagree with
1:52
that. You will wait till you hear my
1:54
experience. We get to the Best Buy, OK, We
1:58
were going to just stick with AT&T, whatevs.
2:01
We get to the AT&T store. They have no new phones.
2:03
They're out. Well run out.
2:06
We were Sam and I were like we have paid.
2:09
You know how you get on, you know, whatever three-year plan
2:11
and you pay your phone off blah, blah, blah, it's paid off ready
2:14
for new phones. Then we're going to the twice
2:16
counselor. We want good phones.
2:17
We want new cameras. So whatever, we're like, OK,
2:19
fine. See if we go to Best Buy, lady
2:22
there, real nice lady. She manages a whole bunch of
2:24
like 10 different stores. She just happened to be in town.
2:26
She's normally is up in Springfield.
2:28
She was training some new kids. I was glad she was there.
2:30
So she was great. She was really nice.
2:32
The two kids she was training, super, super nice.
2:34
I can see why do you hate this. No, no, no.
2:37
Honestly, I want to make sure that I, I put this out there
2:39
that there is absolutely no hate towards the workers at the Best
2:42
Buy. They worked very hard.
2:44
They tried very hard. It I don't think any of the
2:48
issues we had were their fault. So let's put it that way.
2:51
Let's, I just want to put that out there before because I don't
2:53
want anybody to hate on the Best Buy workers.
2:55
We find out that we can get your dad for some reason a new brand
3:03
new phone if he gets an iPhone 17, OK for nothing, no payments,
3:07
whatever, straight up trade and we can get Sam live and I iPhone
3:13
Max's or whatever. This, that, whatever they were,
3:15
I don't know, for like $5.00 a month and we could switch over
3:20
to Verizon and our bill will be less than what we were currently
3:23
paying to AT&T. And we're like new phones switch
3:26
over, lower bills sold. So we decided to do it.
3:29
Yeah, well, Sam and I were the only ones at Best Buy.
3:30
So we call, we call your, your dad and live and they hustle out
3:34
there. And we started this process at
3:37
like 5:00. We didn't leave the Best Buy
3:42
until 9:00 that night. They closed at 7:00.
3:48
We're sitting in the Best Buy at like 8:00 and all of the lights
3:53
turn off. They're on an automatic timer.
3:55
And we all sit there, look at you, and we're like.
3:58
Oh my God, we're sitting in the. In the Best Buy an hour after
4:02
they have already. Closed the woman who who was
4:06
helping us needed to drive home to Springfield she had a 2 1/2
4:10
hour drive so she goes I'm going to drive home just call me and
4:13
I'll walk you through everything while she's driving and so.
4:17
She does, bless her. Heart, but we've been through
4:19
this process. Before of transferring her data
4:21
and I don't know why it just wouldn't work.
4:27
It just, it worked for Sam and Liv, but it took till 9:00 that
4:30
night, OK. We, your dad and I, it would
4:35
never, it would not work. We couldn't transfer data.
4:38
We don't know if their Wi-Fi at Best Buy is terrible or if that
4:43
four of us were trying to do it at the same time.
4:44
We just, we don't know. They don't know, you know,
4:46
nobody knows. Well, you know, I was trading my
4:48
phone in because I can get you can get money off and your dad
4:52
was trading his phone in because he was getting the the new one
4:54
free if you trade it in. Well, we couldn't leave.
4:57
Because we weren't supposed to walk out of there without.
4:59
With they literally just said take the phones, go home, do it
5:02
at home and bring them back tomorrow and we're like fine.
5:05
And so we've we these poor kids were there three hours after
5:10
they were supposed to get off, you know, get off work and never
5:12
complained once, never fussed. They were very, very good about
5:15
it. And we left there.
5:18
We were so hungry. We were, can you even just even
5:22
imagine? And we're starving because I've
5:23
had a similar and you're just sitting there for hours and
5:26
hours and hours. You haven't had a single thing
5:28
to drink. You're dying.
5:29
It was so warm in the store. Like it was just this miserable,
5:32
miserable experience. And we're like, what is the
5:36
closest restaurant that is still open on a Sunday at 9:00 PM?
5:41
Turns out Olive Garden was open till 10.
5:44
Hallelujah. We hustle.
5:45
To the Olive Garden. They're closing in an hour.
5:49
We're thinking we have plenty of time.
5:51
We're not going to. We're not walking in 9:45.
5:53
We're not being jerks. You know we but they have sent
5:55
like the dude looked at us and was like, I just sent half my
5:57
staff home and I'm like, why would you do that?
6:00
You don't close for an hour. Like we would need food.
6:04
Sounds like half your staff is still here.
6:06
It's legit. Now you're saying I I do have a
6:08
thing against like I'm not going to walk in 15 minutes before
6:10
close. It was an hour.
6:12
An hour is is a good amount of time.
6:15
So we sat there for like 15 minutes waiting for a table when
6:18
no one, you know, there's nobody there, nobody's waiting for a
6:20
table. But it's like, well, my servers
6:21
are all too busy and we're just, they just kind of ignored us at
6:24
first. So I do have some beef with with
6:29
the people who see people at Oliver and anyway, finally we
6:31
get a table. We sit down, excellent waitress
6:33
comes over. We're like we're starving.
6:35
We we we don't want to keep you here forever.
6:38
So we know what we want. Boom, boom, boom.
6:40
Here's our. Order.
6:40
Yeah, we were we. Were good patrons of the
6:43
restaurant knowing that they want to close and go home too.
6:46
Absolutely being considerate. We want food.
6:48
You want to go home, we'll give you a good tip.
6:50
Get her food fast. And she's like, I got you.
6:52
She was great. OK, Brings the salad right away.
6:55
Bread, it's like devoured immediately.
6:57
You know the, the she brings her pasta out, she goes, she sets
7:01
the OR you know how somebody comes out and puts the pasta
7:03
out? Well, she comes out and takes an
7:05
order at the table next to us. And we weren't even the last
7:07
people that came in. She took an order.
7:09
She turned around. And she goes, Oh my God, 'cause
7:15
our food was gone, yeah, we had inhaled our food.
7:20
And she goes, she literally is like Oh my God I've never seen
7:26
anyone eat their food so fast and she yells it throughout the
7:31
restaurant. We were rolling.
7:35
We were like, OK, that's awesome.
7:37
We literally ate our food in record time.
7:39
She was like, you guys were really hungry.
7:42
We're like we. Told you we told you we were
7:44
hungry. We gave you a warning, but of
7:47
course we proceed to joke amongst ourselves.
7:49
When she walks away, we're like, oh.
7:50
Who's Mama's little? Piggy, you know, like we're like
7:53
and they're like, don't put your, don't put your hand too
7:55
close at that table. Who let the locusts free at this
7:59
table? Like.
8:01
Oh my God, they don't need to wash.
8:02
Those dishes, they licked them clean.
8:07
Oh my God, Oh my God, Somebody said, I don't know who said it,
8:11
we were all throwing the jokes out, but somebody said they
8:13
pulled the CCTV. Wait, they the waiter puts the
8:17
food down. It's like Dash when he puts the
8:19
tack on the teacher's seat, immediately the food is gone.
8:22
Right, right there. Immediately the food is gone.
8:26
The. Food is there before we and then
8:29
the food is gone. The food.
8:30
Is gone. You never see him move.
8:31
You never see him move. The food is just gone.
8:34
Got you a camera. Oh my God.
8:38
So, yeah, so we were, we were cracking ourselves up big time.
8:41
So. So.
8:42
But your beef is with this. It was honestly, the beef was
8:45
with the Apple phones. The switchover was a nightmare.
8:48
You have to do the update, which is whatever.
8:51
Yeah. And I'm, I'm thinking run iPhone
8:53
1717. That means there are 16 phones
8:57
prior to this one. And we haven't figured out how
9:01
to do that update in a timely fashion.
9:03
We haven't figured out how to transfer the data in a timely
9:06
fashion. We that it takes.
9:08
Five hours, an hour and I. Told you that it does depend on
9:12
how much data you're moving over.
9:13
I understood. Listen, I love the live photos.
9:15
Don't me wrong. We got a ton of live.
9:16
Photos it does take up a lot of storage takes a shit load of
9:18
storage and I got of course we have your dad and I like don't
9:21
delete anything out of our phones.
9:23
So we were the two that were having trouble.
9:25
It was funny because at one point, none of his his contacts
9:30
wouldn't transfer over. Yeah.
9:33
And. One of them was you.
9:36
OK. And Liv says, do you really
9:42
need? Abby's contact.
9:43
Info And Wayne, without thinking says, well, no, but you know,
9:48
I'd like to have it. And so that of course your
9:50
sisters are like, they're dying because they're just like, yeah,
9:55
we don't need that one. Keep going, keep going.
9:57
It's fine. Oh my God.
10:00
Then I asked Liv. Liv was done first pretty quick,
10:03
an hour before St. Yeah, and they start at the same
10:07
time. Yeah.
10:09
And we're like, what the hell, Sam?
10:10
Probably just had more stuff. To me, I guess I, I don't know,
10:14
but she, I, I look at Liv and I'm like, how in the hell did
10:19
your phone transfer that fast? How are you done that that
10:22
quickly? And she goes, because I'm God's
10:23
favorite. Yeah.
10:25
That's what. She says straight face right at
10:27
me. I'm like oh OK I guess.
10:30
Apparently, apparently I am not the favorite.
10:34
We literally came home. It was unfortunately Salmon and
10:37
and Liv we're doing like phone to phone transfer and it worked.
10:42
They for some reason had ours going from phone to iCloud,
10:46
iCloud to phone. It would never work and that was
10:48
a nightmare. So never.
10:49
Here's my advice, never transfer your data.
10:52
Always do the phone to phone, phone the phone.
10:53
I'll say, I'll say that I've done phone to phone, iPad, iPad,
10:56
stuff like that. Yeah, 100%.
10:58
That's the way to go. So we come home, we literally
11:01
came home after eating and we now we're on our Wi-Fi whatever
11:05
and it transfers over. We were done within mine was I
11:08
was done with it. We both were done maybe within
11:10
like 45 minutes. Yeah, I was just like.
11:15
Sometimes it just be like that. I got to go outside and bang my
11:17
head against a brick wall now, because that was just.
11:18
Probably a brick wall. Like a friggin nightmare.
11:21
So it was a nightmare. It was a nightmare situation.
11:23
And I think that Apple needs to get their shit together and
11:26
figure out a way to make this a seamless, better, happier
11:30
transition because it sure makes me not want to get another
11:33
iPhone. You know what I mean?
11:34
Like, God bless, that was awful. We walk out of there and the
11:38
poor people, you know, they, they're the manager is waiting
11:41
for the door to open the door for us to so we can get out.
11:43
You know the Best Buy because they.
11:44
Closed three hours ago and they're like, that was that was
11:49
painful, huh? And I'm like, yeah, worse than
11:51
buying my last time I bought a new car worse than that.
11:54
It took longer than that. Like that was crazy.
11:58
So that's my major beat, my serious beat with with Apple.
12:02
Like, come on, you've had 17 times to figure this out.
12:07
And every time the new phone comes out, people are going to
12:09
buy it, right? Yeah, you're gonna buy the new
12:11
phone. I will say that if you, here's
12:13
the thing, if you have let's see if the iPhone 17, yeah, let's
12:15
say iPhone 18 comes out, you transfer the 17 to the 18.
12:19
Super easy, yeah. If you upload upgrade every
12:23
single time it's it's easier because your phones are more.
12:26
Closely compatible. So you're not waiting cause
12:28
'cause that's the thing, most people wait.
12:30
No, I would say most people. I'm I'm gonna guess probably
12:32
most people wait till they're three 'cause you do the
12:34
three-year deal right with your carrier.
12:36
Saying I'm not saying that you should do that.
12:38
Well, you're what I'm saying is that the people who who do that?
12:42
Like, 'cause there are people who every time people they have
12:44
to go and. And you know, they're not,
12:45
they're willing to pay for it. That's what they and that's
12:47
fine. People should spend their money
12:50
on whatever makes them happy. Absolutely.
12:52
No I don't give a shit. I spend money on stupid shit I
12:55
do too. That makes me happy.
12:56
I just bought you a cat. A cat with a pint of a hat sit
12:59
in a box and turns out it's a clock.
13:00
It was supposed to Pics. It's adorable.
13:03
Who knew? Yeah, take a picture of it right
13:05
now. So I.
13:05
Will so I won't forget. He's adorable, but so, so do
13:08
whatever you want. But I, I don't personally do
13:12
that 'cause I don't, I don't need to and I don't give a shit
13:15
person, you know what I mean? Like my phone before we got
13:17
these new ones when we we switched over to Verizon was so
13:23
old and it had paid off for a while.
13:25
Right. And I just didn't.
13:26
Want to switch 'cause I wanted to keep I had a home button.
13:28
I wanted to keep my I'll. Tell you what.
13:30
Every time you get a new phone you do have to deal with the
13:33
different, well, changes. You lost your home button.
13:36
Now I'm on 17. I don't like this.
13:38
Instead of the little switch to make it go silent or on turn
13:43
switch it back to ringer, you press a button.
13:45
Well it's annoying, it's stupid. The switch was better because
13:48
you constantly hit that button when you don't mean to and the
13:51
switch was so much. Better.
13:52
I know, I know that. Well it's funny because you were
13:54
saying like if you are having so many issues of switching over,
13:59
it's like it makes me not want to get an iPhone and they are
14:02
counting on knowing it will be even more of a hassle for you to
14:06
switch. Like Samsung or something?
14:09
Or Galaxy. And what to an Android?
14:11
Google. Pixel, yeah, the Google, yeah,
14:15
whatever it is, they know it because we sat in the store and
14:17
we talked about with this woman pros and cons between your
14:21
Samsung's and your Apples and she because Sam was thinking
14:25
about switching to a Samsung and she.
14:27
Had an Android. Yes, and she had heard good
14:30
things about it and honestly, six, one, half dozen other, you
14:35
know, because as we compared the cameras, there's good and bad,
14:37
There's pros and cons to both and you know, whatever.
14:41
As far as she said, the main thing that keeps her with Apple
14:45
is the security is a lot better on an Apple versus any other
14:50
phone out there. A lot of people, older people
14:52
who have Samsung's and Googles or whatever get hacked easier.
14:57
And I was like, I just went, that would be me.
14:59
No, OK, I'm not switching you. I'm like.
15:01
Well, me, I got to say 'cause it can.
15:02
Happen to anybody, it can happen to anybody.
15:04
Plus I'm like I know I'm already so frustrated some days with
15:08
this phone. Can you even imagine me dealing
15:10
with a brand new different style of?
15:13
I know trying to figure it out. Like nightmare, It's really
15:16
funny 'cause my friend Nick and I, who, who we play DND on
15:19
Monday nights, we both have Macs like, well, you know, Apple,
15:24
Apple computers and whatnot. And we get a lot, we get a lot
15:28
of shit from the other guys who play because of course they have
15:31
PCs and they're like, well, it's like you just get so much more
15:34
and you can customize, you can up, you could upgrade your RAM
15:37
easier and blah, blah, blah. And Nick and I are both like, we
15:41
are not arguing with, arguing with you on any of that.
15:44
We agree 100%. But here's the thing, when I hit
15:47
the button to turn it on, it fucking works every time.
15:52
And we have, I have actually, I have like PCs at home, like not
15:56
laptops, but a full like a tower PC.
15:59
And that's like our say like our gaming computer and such like
16:01
that. And we have both had so many
16:04
issues with the PCs that we have to fix or whatever or like a
16:08
game won't update. And there's no reason I never
16:11
ever had those issues. My Mac I still have from when I
16:14
went to college at SIU. They may as well get Macs or
16:18
whatever I. Recall them and they're
16:20
expensive, but it still. Works Ashley's Mac Tuesday.
16:26
The one she had for school still worked, it just ran out of
16:29
storage and it slowed down extremely and so we end up
16:32
getting the one that we have now bounced just kind of like for us
16:34
to share for stuff, but it still works.
16:38
Is that an Apple product? The Macs are Apples.
16:41
Yeah, Macs are Apples. Well, and the one thing I will
16:43
give Apple, your dad's phone, for some reason, the battery, we
16:47
actually had to go back out. I didn't tell you this part.
16:49
We had to go back out. And you did.
16:51
You did tell. You told me.
16:52
Listener, Listener. His phone battery crapped out
16:55
and we had to go up back out there and do a second transfer
16:59
phone to phone to get him another new phone because the
17:03
battery was bad. I sat on the little couch in the
17:06
Best Buy and watched the entire first movie of the Harry Potter
17:09
series while we transferred his date for a second time.
17:13
I'm like OK, well at least Harry Potter's on I.
17:16
I'm pretty sure he fell asleep at one point.
17:18
In this in the best. Buy I don't know, the movie
17:21
ended I. Woke up and walked over.
17:23
And I'm like, are we close? I'm just like you.
17:26
Gotta be kidding with me, yeah? Crazy, but they, but they.
17:31
Swapped it. They swapped it out.
17:32
Battery goes bad again. Well, we think the battery, it
17:35
won't charge. We we were at Easter at
17:39
Grandma's. Yeah, you were telling me this.
17:40
The phone shuts down, won't turn back on.
17:42
We charge it for an hour. Won't turn back on.
17:43
We we Google ideas. Nothing.
17:45
Won't turn back on. Luckily, Liz Friend works at the
17:47
Apple Store in the Galleria. So now I will give Apple this.
17:50
You can go to the Apple Store and you can get help.
17:54
Yep, you know they're there and you can walk and like, you can
17:57
make an appointment. But since his phone was dead, we
17:59
actually couldn't make a physical appointment because we
18:02
couldn't get the information off.
18:03
The phone, you couldn't pre make an appointment, right?
18:05
Yeah. But he's just like, get in here,
18:08
I'll help you. Because we're like, do we go
18:09
back to Best Buy? What do we do?
18:10
And he's like, stop going to Best Buy.
18:12
He's like, come here, let us run diagnostics.
18:14
So they, they ran diagnostics on it and they're like, nothing's
18:17
wrong with the phone. We're like, why wouldn't it
18:19
charge? And they're like, there was an
18:21
update. He didn't do the update.
18:23
And it's sometimes when you don't do the update, this part
18:26
of the phone won't speak to this part of the phone and then it
18:27
probably wouldn't. Charge.
18:29
So we stayed. We charged it.
18:30
The minute we laid on, when we laid it down on one of those
18:33
circle flat ones immediately started charging.
18:37
And so then as soon as it charged up enough, we did the
18:39
update and then they ran. Not really.
18:42
We ran, they ran diagnostics and there's like not there's nothing
18:45
with his phone, but his battery does die faster than ours.
18:49
He's but his is just 17 hours are maxes and pros.
18:53
So I don't know if the battery is just cheaper, crappier, I
18:56
don't know. So I bought him this really cool
18:59
thing. It's expensive, but I but it's
19:02
great. He was mad at me that I bought
19:04
it, but then this minute I put his phone on it and he was like,
19:05
oh, look at that. So it's like literally a little.
19:08
Phone stand but it has the magnetic charging OK so you plug
19:11
the phone stand in and then he can put his phone on there and
19:15
the phone is like he the phone's up in the air and in the bottom
19:18
portion also is a charger. So you could charge like 2
19:21
phones if you want or a watch or your iPod like I what do you
19:24
call those iPods? Is that what?
19:25
They're called Airpods. Thank you.
19:27
You could charge. I put in my.
19:29
Ear call that an iPod. IPod, I don't know what it is.
19:31
That's really funny. Earpods what the things that
19:33
stick in your ear, you can charge two things at the same
19:36
time, but when you put your phone on the stand part that's
19:39
up top and you turn it sideways, it turns it into an alarm clock.
19:43
Very cool. You have the face of the alarm
19:44
clock and you have it's but it's dim.
19:47
It's like the letters are red like an old fashioned alarm
19:50
clock. It's not obnoxious and he I'm
19:53
like, he's going to love this. He's going to love it because he
19:55
can wake up all night, look at his phone and it's clock is
19:58
there. He won't have to feel around
20:00
trying to find the phone and turn it on that it's there.
20:02
It'll have the time on it because especially he like gets
20:05
up in the dark, you know, he gets up so early.
20:06
So it's like, Oh, I hate that you got to buy this, make my
20:09
phone work. It's terrible.
20:09
And I'm like, no, your port still works.
20:11
There's nothing wrong with your port.
20:12
They said they think it was the update and but I, I said, watch,
20:16
look at this. And I put it on there and I turn
20:18
sideways and it turns and you have several screens that you
20:20
can actually choose from. And we let him pick the one.
20:23
He goes, Oh, that's nice. So he really, really.
20:28
Liked it. That's good.
20:29
So it was like it was, I'm like, OK, we got it figured out.
20:33
We did the update, It's charging, it's fine.
20:35
And I got him a cool, cool charging stand, so he doesn't
20:37
have to worry about plugging in now he can put it on the little
20:40
circle thing and it's a pretty cool charger.
20:42
So great. Yeah, it's pretty awesome.
20:45
Anyway, OK, what do you got? You got a beef?
20:48
Well, I only have a beef. OK, OK, I was gonna talk this
20:52
last time, but we were out of time.
20:54
And now it works out because I've actually got more
20:57
information so I can do a more thorough synopsis.
21:01
So, OK, lately I've been watching the PWHL.
21:05
Now, listener, if you don't know what that is, that's the women's
21:08
Hockey League. That's professional women's
21:09
Hockey League. We love hockey in this house.
21:13
You're wearing a blue shirt. Right now I am wearing my blue
21:15
shirt. Even though they have been
21:16
bounced from the playoffs, they still they didn't even make the
21:20
playoffs. No oh you're right.
21:21
It could even be before the playoffs.
21:23
That's. Why our thing was all fucked up
21:26
last time was because we went to the Blues the last home game.
21:30
It was awesome. We had the best time at the last
21:34
home Blues game, it was so much fun.
21:36
It was so much fun, but I've been watching women's hockey
21:40
because if you don't know, you can watch the women's hockey on
21:45
YouTube for free and they post all the games now if you're
21:49
like, oh great, I'll like check it out by the time this episode
21:52
comes out. Bad news for you.
21:53
Bad news for you because the regular season is over.
21:58
It is, but that's the. News is, the good news is that
22:00
this is coming out on Wednesday and the first game of the
22:04
playoffs is I think Friday. Woo Hoo.
22:08
OK, and playoff hockey is even more fun than regular season
22:15
hockey. If you haven't watched any
22:16
playoff hockey ever, it's a lot of fun because all bets are off.
22:21
Everything starts over and and and anything can happen.
22:24
I lied the first. The first game of the playoffs
22:27
will be Thursday at 6:00 PM. OK, Central Time.
22:31
OK, now here's the thing. OK, the PWHL and the NHL have a
22:38
few different rules. They do.
22:41
Number one, there's only eight teams in the PWHL, so obviously
22:45
you're not going to have a 16 team playoff like the NHL.
22:48
True, it would be very difficult to do.
22:50
There's only 8 periods so only can't can't do it.
22:53
So only the top four teams. Go to the playoffs and it it
22:58
came down to the last fucking game.
23:01
Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
23:04
We were. It does seem to happen that like
23:05
that in the NHL. I mean, they've usually
23:07
clinched, right? There's there's a few different
23:09
rules about like the point system and that kind of
23:11
determines it. And then for the PWHL draft,
23:16
they, it's not like who in, in NFL, in the NFL, if you have the
23:22
worst record, you typically get the first draft pick, right?
23:26
And and. Yeah, if you.
23:28
Win the Super Bowl, you get the. Last, a lot of men's sports,
23:33
you're right, whether it's basketball or hockey or or or
23:35
NFL. Baseball.
23:36
Well, hockey is the has the lottery.
23:39
And that's true, but a lot of them, if you have a good record,
23:42
you're not going to pick first. They let the guys, the teams
23:45
with the the lesser records that they're going to go first.
23:47
Yeah, right. That's usually the norm.
23:48
So a lot of teams when once you've been eliminated from the
23:51
playoffs, they will tank to get a better draft pick.
23:55
But that is not how the PWHL works.
23:57
In the PWHL, once you've been eliminated from the playoffs,
24:00
every game that you win or go to overtime, you earn points.
24:05
Now those points usually work for the standings of who's going
24:08
to go to the playoffs, but once you've been eliminated, those
24:12
points go towards. It's like the Golden Plan or
24:16
something like that is what they call it.
24:17
And it's basically the team who accrues the most points gets the
24:21
number one overall draft pick, which is awesome because it
24:23
gives those teams something to play for.
24:25
And so if you're going to watch a game, you know, like let's say
24:28
Seattle and Vancouver, both teams were eliminated.
24:33
You, you still, it's still worth going to go to the game because
24:36
those teams are both playing for a draft pick right now.
24:41
The other thing that's really interesting is that if you
24:45
finish first overall, you get to pick who you face in round one
24:51
of the playoffs cuz there's just semifinals in the finals, so you
24:54
pick. Between you get to pick which is
24:56
wild. So, so between teams three and
24:58
four, whoever comes in 3rd and 4th in the in the standings, you
25:01
get to pick one of those teams to play in the first round and
25:04
then of course the other will play #2 OK, so The thing is this
25:10
is the third season and in the first two seasons the team that
25:15
has come in first and has picked their opponent has been bounced
25:17
in the first round Both times. Both times.
25:20
Both times. Now it's like curse, right?
25:23
You almost don't want to come in first and pick right?
25:25
In in year one, in the 2023 to 2024 season, OK, the Toronto
25:34
Sceptres picked Minnesota to play in round one.
25:39
Minnesota was the number four team and they upset them.
25:43
They lost the 1st 2. They it's best of five.
25:45
So they lost the first two games and then won the next three and
25:48
bounced the scepters in round one to move on Wild, wild.
25:52
Then in the second, second year, 2024 to 2025, the Montreal
25:59
Victoire, they come in first and they decide they're going to
26:03
pick the Ottawa charge. They're going to play them in
26:06
the first in the first round and the Ottawa Charge bounces
26:08
Montreal. OK, now they they.
26:12
So then they are eliminated. Fun fact, in in year 1, the
26:18
Minnesota Frost would go on to win the the Walter Cup
26:22
championship and then in year 2, Ottawa Charge would actually
26:27
play Minnesota for the championship and Minnesota won
26:30
again, again, again. So they there's only been 2,
26:33
there's only been 2-2 years. And Minnesota, the Minnesota
26:36
Frost, yeah, Minnesota Frost has been the Champions.
26:39
Both times, won it both times. I love the frost.
26:41
I love their uniforms. It's like a purple light, dark
26:43
purple, light purple. Yeah.
26:45
It's like a like a lavender almost.
26:47
It's so pretty, I love it. Purple's like my second favorite
26:49
color. You didn't know that about me.
26:51
I love it. They were my fave.
26:52
I love the little frozen like little F.
26:55
On there, it's very cool. I like them a lot.
26:58
I like the rest of the team. They're really cool and they're
27:01
close to us. They're the closest team to us.
27:03
It's true location wise. So someday we're gonna go in
27:05
four-game? Sure.
27:06
Yeah. Now, The thing is, so the four
27:09
teams that are in the playoffs right now are, well, yeah,
27:13
Montreal, Victoire, they came in first, a nail biter to the end.
27:18
Anna, you know, I was messaging you.
27:20
I called you on Sunday because Saturday night I'm up to like
27:23
1230 watching this freaking hockey game.
27:25
Because they didn't just it had to go to overtime, then we had
27:28
to go to a shootout, then we had to go to extra shootouts.
27:30
Oh, my God, so dramatic. The winner, the winner of the
27:33
game, if Montreal had won, was going to get, was going to lock
27:36
up first place and then they would get to pick their
27:39
opponent. But if Seattle won, they would
27:42
lock up the number one overall draft pick.
27:44
So it was it was dramatic and it was close.
27:48
Which is the best? It's the best.
27:50
What a way, what it was the last, last game of the regular
27:53
season. What a way to end it
27:55
outstanding. What a nail biter.
27:57
What a nail biter now. So again, Montreal victoire #1
28:02
the Boston fleet coming #2 Now if you watched any Olympics and
28:08
you know anything about the women's hockey team, you know
28:10
that Aaron Frankel, Frank's red hot sauce.
28:12
She is the goalie for the United States women's team and she only
28:16
allowed like 2 fucking goals for the Olympics.
28:19
Which of the entire Olympics? The women's team, if you didn't
28:22
watch any of the Olympics, I hope you watch some of the
28:23
women's hockey because the women's U.S. team was on.
28:27
Amazing, absolutely amazing. She she's the best goalie in the
28:31
league. She plays for the Boston fleet.
28:33
OK, so they're they're the number two team #3 is the
28:36
Minnesota Frost OK now we've already said that they are.
28:39
They're going for the three peat.
28:41
OK, they already won first two. They're back.
28:43
Let's go, baby. They're also the number one
28:45
offense in the PWHL. Oh OK, awesome.
28:48
And then the Ottawa charge. It was between them and the
28:54
Toronto Ceptors, and they played head to head this past Saturday.
28:58
And it was also crazy. Head to head on the last game of
29:02
the season. In the winner.
29:03
Winner gets to go to the playoffs.
29:09
Ottawa wins, Ottawa wins. They're in.
29:11
That's your number four team now.
29:13
OK, Montreal is the number one team and they have to pick
29:18
between. Well, you told me they get. 24
29:20
hours, yes, they got 20. From the moment that they win,
29:22
they've got 24 hours to announce on their social.
29:24
Media, the moment they win the clock, they're on the clock, I
29:29
believe. So they're on the clock and and
29:31
you got 24 hours to say who you who they're going to play.
29:34
Right. And so so they've got to a virus
29:37
to pick between Minnesota, who is again two time defending
29:43
champion, or the Ottawa Charge who they picked literally last
29:49
year. And lost to it, got bounced.
29:53
Who do you pick? Who do you pick?
29:55
And they picked the frost. They picked the frost.
29:57
Now, let me tell you something. This is why these players are
29:59
the best, because immediate drama, immediately the drama.
30:04
You've picked, you've decided to play Minnesota, You're scared of
30:08
Ottawa. You've you've sent a message
30:10
that you're scared. Now here's the thing.
30:13
Montreal is amazing. They've got the best record.
30:15
Obviously in the PHL, they're the best.
30:19
They have my favorite line. Now, if you don't know anything
30:22
about hockey, you don't know anything about hockey.
30:24
You you play in lines that sounded stupid, but there are
30:29
lines of players that swap in and out and whatnot.
30:31
They have different players, they're literally called lines
30:34
and they cuz it's exhausting and so you're constantly trading.
30:38
It's about 5 players. Trading outlines and some lines
30:41
are specialized in like penalty kills and different things like
30:46
that. Defenders, forwards, etcetera.
30:48
So you know they literally play 5 players.
30:52
Yes, one of them was a goalie. No 6.
30:54
No 6. Players 1 was a goalie my.
30:56
Bad Yeah, five players to a line typically correct.
31:00
So when So, Montreal has my favorite line which is Abby Rock
31:07
and the wives line. Abby.
31:09
Rock and the wives line. That's fantastic.
31:12
It's my favorite line because one, it sounds like a killer
31:15
band name. Abby Rock and the wives line.
31:16
Are you kidding me? I'd go see them right now.
31:18
Absolutely, sign me up. You know me.
31:20
I'm I'm, I love a good band #1. Abby Rock is a player.
31:24
Obviously, her last name is Rock.
31:25
It's very cool. And her name is Abby, which is
31:28
also cool for me. We love her.
31:31
She's really good. And then there is Marie Philip
31:35
Philippe Poulin. OK, I had to look this up.
31:38
And then Laura Stacy, OK. And those two are married to
31:43
each other. Adorable.
31:44
And they play for the same team. I love it.
31:46
Poulin is OK. Now here's the thing, because I
31:48
had to look this up. Poulin is like, she's, she's
31:53
known as captain clutch, OK, She's from Canada.
31:56
She has scored multiple like game-winning goals for for
32:05
Canada in like the Olympics and whatnot.
32:08
She is like she's been the face of women's hockey for like a
32:13
decade. This woman has she's amazing in
32:17
in 2014, in 2014, she scored the overtime winner for Canada in
32:22
the Olympics and then she also scored the game-winning goal in
32:25
2022 at the Olympics. She's been the long time captain
32:29
of Team Canada. She's amazing, all right, And
32:33
she, Poulin, is the person who scored the goal for Montreal to
32:36
win the game against Seattle and secure them the number.
32:39
One. Of course she was.
32:40
Of course she was. So But The thing is, Montreal
32:44
has never won the Walter Cup championship during the WHL.
32:48
And so this is like the one thing that she's.
32:50
Missing. That's right.
32:50
Yeah. So it's, she's been so close.
32:52
She's so close. But she's known as like the
32:54
goat, OK. And then her wife Laura Stacy is
32:58
elite in her own wife. She's no, she's not at all known
33:01
as like, just like Poulin's wife, like she is the alternate
33:04
captain on on Montreal. Also played on the Olympic team.
33:10
She is fantastic. She Linda's actually missed the
33:14
last 10 games because of injury and Stacy has stepped up and
33:18
been and been just a delight. Awesome, just a delight.
33:23
Awesome, I love it. Now, The thing is, I figured
33:30
that I would, I would give the listeners a little, you know,
33:33
hey, you've just now started watching PWHL because I've told
33:36
you. But of course you're excited.
33:38
Also they have jailbreak goals they didn't even talk about.
33:39
This we didn't even talk about. Jail.
33:41
But OK, so if you go, if you, if your team is penalized and
33:44
you've got a person in the penalty box and they're killed a
33:46
2 minute penalty or whatever, OK.
33:47
If you don't watch hockey, if you commit a a penalty, there
33:51
are things you cannot do. You cannot hook someone with
33:53
your stick. You cannot hit somebody.
33:55
Yeah, if you get called a penalty, you you go into the
33:58
penalty. Box you go to the time out box.
34:00
Literally. And your team plays short the
34:03
player, yes, OK. And you have to try to kill the
34:05
penalty. If the team that is on the power
34:07
play, which is being up a player, if they score, the
34:10
penalty is over, the person comes out-of-the-box, Hooray,
34:13
you know, for the team that scored.
34:15
Boo for the team that scored. If they don't score the 2 when
34:18
When the team's up, yeah, yeah. Then they come out-of-the-box
34:21
too, yeah. But in the PWHL, you can have
34:24
what's called a jailbreak goal. If you score a short handed
34:27
goal, you go down the other side and you score the penalty is
34:29
also over and your player gets to come out.
34:32
Yeah, yeah, we love the jailbreak role.
34:34
It is awesome. It's awesome because it
34:35
encourages teams to be aggressive on the penalty kill.
34:39
Why? Why not?
34:40
Why not? Score a Shorty and your your
34:43
player comes up. Yes, it's great to score a short
34:45
handed goal, but in. But The thing is, if you score a
34:47
short handed goal, you're still but none of the PWHL because if
34:53
you're bad enough to let them score when you have more players
34:56
on the ice, you've you've lost your, it's true, your
34:59
opportunity. So that's super fun.
35:02
Now I'm going to tell you what what team you should be rooting
35:07
for in the PWH. Oh, you're going.
35:08
I'm going to tell you about the teams, and then you can decide
35:12
for yourself who you want to root for.
35:14
Quick synopsis. OK, so OK, you just start
35:16
watching the PWHL. Who should you be rooting for?
35:19
I don't know. I'm rooting for.
35:20
So obviously if you're living in this area, the closest team to
35:27
you is Minnesota, right? If you're living elsewhere, I
35:34
don't give a shit. That's not my problem.
35:35
That's for you to figure out. You figure out who the closest
35:38
is to you. By the way, our secret sauce is
35:40
hockey sauce. It's a, it's a, oh, hockey
35:42
sauce. It's a hot sauce.
35:44
OK, hockey sauce. So Montreal, you're rooting for
35:49
them like people root for the Patriots or the Chiefs.
35:55
These are the best teams in the league and you, you know, you
36:00
want them to win. You've got the best team on
36:03
paper. You've got superstars like
36:05
Poulin and Stacy and Abby Rock. You got skill, speed, highlight
36:11
plays. They got it all.
36:12
They're goalie and Rene Desvienz, and I've probably
36:17
butchered that because it's French for French Canadian.
36:21
She is the #2 goalie in the league right after Aaron
36:26
Frankel. And it's very, very close.
36:28
But it is, it's gonna be close. If you want to root for
36:33
greatness, maybe a little heartbreak, pick Montreal.
36:37
They got something to prove. They've been bounced.
36:39
They've not even they they've not even played, I don't think
36:42
in the championship game yet, not yet.
36:46
And they have they got bounced last year in the first round.
36:49
This is their redemption. They're they got a knockout, the
36:51
defending champion who they have swept this year every time that
36:55
they've played them. Montreal has won.
36:57
This is going to be, in my opinion, so interesting because
37:00
they chose the Frost who is who are the defending champions.
37:05
It's it's bold. They swept them.
37:07
They swept them previously and that doesn't usually happen
37:11
twice, let's put it that way. And in the playoffs, like I
37:14
said, anything can happen. Everything starts over.
37:16
Your records are are gone. You know what I mean?
37:18
There's no where you know, it's it's just all starts over.
37:22
Everybody say even playing field and here we go.
37:24
So it's it's incredible. It's really, really, really fun
37:29
to watch. Absolutely.
37:30
So this will be really interesting to see what happens
37:32
here. Then you've got, you've got.
37:36
Then you've got Minnesota. OK, now, like I said, if you
37:39
live in this area #1 Minnesota's the closest team to us.
37:42
But another reason, especially if you're in the Saint Louis
37:44
area, to root for Minnesota, is because a girl, her name is
37:47
Jincy Rose. She plays for Minnesota.
37:51
I forget. Whenever she wears, doesn't
37:53
matter, she's from O'Fallon, Missouri, so you have room for
37:56
the hometown hero. That's that's her.
37:59
She's she's great. Awesome.
38:02
They have Taylor Heisey, who's like their best player.
38:05
She wears #27 we love that. For me, OK, they have of the
38:12
like top five like or the top 4 like point scores, which you get
38:17
a point for scoring goals and for assists.
38:20
The top four or five Minnesota had three of their players are
38:24
in the top five. Awesome, very, very good.
38:27
They score more goals than any other team just based on the
38:32
numbers. OK.
38:34
Numbers don't lie. A lot of people don't like them
38:37
because they are the two time defending champion, so it's of
38:39
course you're going to hate people.
38:40
People like to hate a champion Which.
38:42
Whatever. I don't care.
38:43
But they sort of kind of come in and ruin everyone else's story,
38:49
you know what I mean? Like Toronto was #1 in your one,
38:53
they pick Minnesota thinking, hey, they're the number four
38:56
team. It's their worst one.
38:57
They upset them and they which. Is it feels like a no brainer.
39:00
Of course you're going to pick the number four team.
39:02
Of course of. Course you are.
39:04
If it was, if it was later, like any other bracket, you would
39:06
just. Be given the number four.
39:08
Yeah, exactly. But the thing that we said, when
39:10
you only have eight teams, Yep, you literally have a fantasy
39:15
team on every team. Yeah, because you have the best
39:18
of the best. We we talked about playing on on
39:21
every team. We talked about the WNBA and how
39:25
they have just slightly less than half of the number of teams
39:29
that are in the NBA and in women's hockey.
39:31
There are 24 NHL teams and there are only 8 PWHL.
39:35
Teams. So you're so it's the third,
39:37
Yeah. The third is so crazy
39:40
concentrated within these eight teams.
39:43
Now they're looking to expand. So that's.
39:44
Exciting they are and and we really want a Saint Louis team,
39:48
so for fuck's sake people, please support PWHL so we can
39:52
get a women's team. Pretty sure Detroit.
39:54
'S going to get and Detroit gets everything, I think.
39:57
The people of Detroit, who? Would like to disagree people of
40:02
Detroit, but. Probably made it different.
40:03
They got no Super Bowl, but OK, so you're going to run from
40:08
Minnesota if you want the team that is going, they want the
40:10
three peat. They just got picked by
40:12
Montreal. That's disrespectful.
40:15
That's disrespectful and they they're thinking.
40:18
We swept them already. This is going to be a good walk.
40:20
This despite being. Mistakes for me, despite being
40:23
the two time defending champion, they are technically the
40:25
underdog going into this. They are and so if you but they
40:28
have been the underdog every time every time you want it.
40:30
Yeah. So it'll be so if you want to
40:32
root for the underdog, that's who you're rooting for.
40:33
OK, now two teams, Boston is the Boston fleet Boston they wear
40:38
green. So if you like green.
40:40
They have a dark green light green combo going on.
40:42
I like it. So they have their their.
40:44
The B is like an anchor. Yeah, it looks like an anchor.
40:47
It's kind of cool. It's cool.
40:48
Yeah. So they have the number one
40:50
goaltender in the PWHL, Erin Frankel.
40:53
Like I said, Frank's red hot sauce.
40:54
We love her. They have it's It is so fun to
41:02
watch them play because they're so fast and they're very good.
41:04
They were the number one team until Montreal came out nowhere
41:08
and overtook them at the very end of the.
41:09
Season just right at the end. So they're also very, very good.
41:12
They're very. Good.
41:13
Watching the the puck handling is so impressive.
41:15
And you're right, they're very they're very speedy.
41:17
Yes, yeah. They're so fast.
41:18
That's the thing, like I said, when when you have such a
41:21
concentrated amount. Yes, it is.
41:24
It is actually the PWHL is. It's less physical than the NHL,
41:27
but not by much. But it is the most physical
41:31
women's league in the world. Like a that was like a big thing
41:33
when they were bringing this over from like international
41:35
hockey. There's been other smaller
41:37
women's hockey leagues. They were like, no, like we want
41:40
it to be fast and physical because that's what, 1 the
41:43
women. Traditional hockey.
41:44
That's what hockey, yeah, those people are expecting.
41:46
Exactly. So they are.
41:51
Boston's gonna be dangerous if they can get some momentum
41:53
because Aaron Frankel is not gonna give up a goal.
41:55
They're gonna they're gonna be the games are just gonna be
41:57
should be very good, both of them.
41:58
They, you know, you got 24 awesome teams.
42:01
So they're gonna be, yeah, in my opinion, I, I would think
42:04
they're gonna be a good game A. 100% now Ottawa, this is your
42:08
true underdog. This is your #4 They have fought
42:10
tooth and nail to get here now, literally.
42:12
Got in on the last game, yeah. Now the other thing is they're
42:16
also looking for the redemption because if you recall, Ottawa
42:19
bounced Montreal last year in round one and then lost to
42:24
Minnesota. And so they are looking for, and
42:27
it was a 5 game series. They win all five games.
42:29
Oh boy. So came down to the wire and
42:31
they and they lost Minnesota in the last game.
42:33
So if you if this is sort of like a if you want to believe in
42:37
miracles kind of thing. There.
42:38
You go. But lastly, if you just want to
42:40
watch some fun games, check it out there, it's on YouTube.
42:45
And the the final, my final thing I'll say is that, so I've
42:48
been focusing a lot on Montreal and Minnesota because of course,
42:51
the drama of they picked Minnesota.
42:53
But The thing is that Boston, Ottawa is also gonna be crazy
42:57
because Aaron Frankel and Gwyneth Phillips, Gwyneth
43:01
Phillips is the goalie for Ottawa.
43:03
They played together in college. They were on the same team.
43:06
So they are good friends. They know each other really
43:08
well. And Gwyneth Phillips is an
43:09
amazing goalie. She's the only goalie to catch
43:12
right-handed. Fun fact, she's left-handed.
43:14
She's a lefty, catches right-handed.
43:16
So it is going to be a battle of goalies in in this matchup,
43:21
Boston versus Ottawa. So the drama, the drama that
43:25
game will be. Thursday at 6:00 PM Central
43:29
time. OK, TuneIn on YouTube.
43:31
TuneIn, you can just watch it on YouTube for free, which is nice.
43:34
Which is kind of funny because then you said there are people
43:36
who like, they'll put comments. If you watch it, yeah, if you
43:38
watch it on your phone or your computer, the little comment
43:41
thing will come up. And you can, you can, as long as
43:43
you subscribe to the channel for free, you can post comments and
43:46
whatnot, and it's very fun. There's a lot of inside jokes
43:49
and things like that from just like things that happened
43:53
throughout the year and whatnot. If you know nothing about
43:57
hockey, it actually is perfect because they the PHL has what's
44:00
called a Professor Puck, which is a little animated puck with
44:04
eyelashes and it's adorable. She's adorable and she teaches
44:07
you Hockey 101. She teaches you about the game.
44:09
It's so great and it's so cute and, and so they they will will
44:14
tell you. About so there's no judgement.
44:16
If you don't know cuz no they'll tell, they'll they'll learn yet
44:18
real good 100%. And we really want to Saint
44:20
Louis team because they have, of course, like Pride Night and
44:23
they had Barbie night and Barbie was a big sponsor.
44:27
With that Barbie night. And if you don't know, if you
44:30
don't know the PWHL, one of the founding, I don't know
44:34
individuals behind like pushing for it was Billie Jean King, who
44:38
of course is a badass. Who's a badass?
44:39
If you don't know, she's the the woman famous tennis player
44:44
famous tennis player who who played in the the air quotes
44:47
Battle of the sexes. They made wand.
44:50
Yeah, she's a badass. Let's go.
44:53
Yeah, what was the quote? Somebody said if if you had
44:55
asked Billie Jean King 25 years ago she would be dropping the
44:58
puck at a sold out crowd at Madison Square Garden for a
45:03
PWHL, which is professional Women's Hockey League game, she
45:09
she would have absolutely believed it.
45:10
She. Was the best I guess.
45:11
Absolutely she would have. Absolutely believed it.
45:14
That's how much of A badass she is.
45:15
I love her, she's awesome. So yeah, it's been, it's been
45:18
very fun. Her her wife, actually, her name
45:21
is Ilana Kloss. The MVP for the Walter Cup
45:26
championship game is called the Yolanda Claus.
45:28
Oh, legit Yeah. Well, how cool was that?
45:30
Because the two of them both barely.
45:31
Worked really hard to to bring the NHL.
45:34
That's so great. And you know, it's, it's so
45:38
great because we were just, like I said, we were just at a Blues
45:40
game. They have a lot of times in
45:42
between first and second period, they'll bring out little kids to
45:46
play a quick little skirmish, you know, whatever.
45:50
And they're really little, but they're, they skate better than
45:53
most adults, which is hilarious. And it's very, they're very cute
45:57
and they're very fun to watch. And then they always pick one of
46:00
the little players and they interview them and they pick
46:02
this little girl. And it was so awesome because
46:05
they asked her what is what is the the thing you like the most
46:08
about hockey? And Abby, what was her answer?
46:12
Hidden people. People and people, the whole
46:15
place cheers. It's so great.
46:17
We're like yes, go. So how awesome it is the to have
46:21
the PWHL? Now, and these little girls can
46:23
watch. When they do that too.
46:24
They also they bring out girls to bring to play.
46:27
Good for them. It's really cute.
46:28
It's very. Cute.
46:29
Yeah. Honestly, at the end of the day,
46:30
what's important is support women's sports because it's very
46:33
fun to watch. It is.
46:35
And it you just see like so many, so many of these players
46:40
when they're doing the interviews, they're like, no,
46:42
I'd never in a million years would imagine this is ever
46:44
possible because so many of them were playing in these other
46:47
leagues that are smaller leagues and then working jobs on the
46:49
side. Right.
46:50
I mean, because this doesn't pay, it doesn't pay it, it
46:52
doesn't pay that well. And now they now it does not
46:54
only are there not the opportunities, they're not near
46:58
the opportunities like there are for men.
46:59
And and then the pay is also typically not exist, not even
47:03
close to Yeah, right. Well, so the pay is not even
47:06
enough to support your family, you know, So yeah, it's but
47:10
these but women deserve to play too.
47:12
They want to play just as much as men do.
47:14
So, and it's just as exciting like and, and watching, you
47:19
know, when you're watching any like live sport, they always do
47:22
cut to the crowd and they show it not and you just see so many
47:25
like women and little girls and whatnot.
47:27
And they're just, they're just so excited.
47:29
Like I remember watching and it was like whatever thing was like
47:32
they were sold out of jerseys around and they've got these
47:34
girls and they've got their like they've made these shirts and
47:37
jerseys because they just couldn't get any.
47:39
And so they've made their own because they want to like,
47:41
support the team, and it's adorable.
47:44
And I love it. They're getting so excited and
47:45
get behind. It Yeah, yeah.
47:47
And I'm like, you know, like they, a lot of the players have
47:51
said like that they would have killed for this growing up, you
47:57
know, to be able to watch professional women's hockey
47:59
first as a little girl interested in hockey, you know,
48:04
and, and so I'm, I'm always gonna be a proponent of women's
48:08
sports. We've come a long way, baby,
48:10
We've got a long way to go. But at least it's an awesome
48:13
start, 100%. And we really want to stay in
48:14
Louis team. Yes.
48:17
I I would kill. It would be fun.
48:18
It would be super fun. I would be so there.
48:20
OK, damn it. Detroit, do we have time since?
48:23
Can I tell you something else? I've saved this because I've
48:26
been wanting to read you these things.
48:27
These are funny stories that people have posted and it's.
48:30
All about They're all about family.
48:32
Family Dom. So we're going, yeah.
48:35
We say that to our Kitty. OK, so I was just going to read
48:40
a few of these. This one says my wife and I
48:44
eloped, but then a month later they had a reception for her
48:48
family and friends. On the invitation they wrote
48:51
Bring an appetite. There were Uncle Jerry misreaded
48:55
as Bring an appetizer, and he walked in with a crock pot full
48:58
of enchiladas. I find that adorable, this
49:01
catered meal. Here comes Uncle Jerry, who is a
49:04
crock pot full of enchiladas. Good for you, Uncle Jerry.
49:07
You know what? Nobody else brought any
49:09
appetizers. Nope.
49:11
OK, this is a Christmas card from an elderly relative.
49:16
We respect her honesty. This is to the family.
49:19
I have forgotten the names of the children from Mad Aunt
49:22
Margaret. I've.
49:25
Forgotten the names of the children I'm.
49:29
Dead I just remember that I have a funny shorts OK as well so OK
49:33
both. This one is about this girl's
49:36
mom. She's gotten in so many fights
49:37
with her friends over the years that all she's down to One last
49:40
picture with ladies with no heads.
49:43
She's ripped the heads off of all her friends and it's just
49:46
her. With.
49:48
She's the only one with the head left.
49:49
She. Clearly really likes that photo.
49:50
Of herself and she's kept it and.
49:52
Ripped 1 by 1. There's like 3 friends in there
49:55
with her, four maybe ripped their heads off.
49:57
Jesus. Wow OK.
49:59
My grandma asked me at a family gathering if I had a boyfriend
50:03
yet. I said no and she was like well
50:07
one time I was bored and I went to a random funeral.
50:10
That's How I Met your grandfather.
50:13
Apparently the random funeral was her grandpa's dad's funeral.
50:17
Her grandpa's dad had died. Her grandma shows up to this.
50:21
They're young. Her, this girl's grandma goes to
50:26
a random funeral and meets her future husband, right?
50:28
And it so it was her grandpa's dad who had passed away and she
50:33
went to a funeral and picked up a dead guy's son.
50:37
At the funeral like. I aspire to be here.
50:41
Outstanding. OK, at a family dinner someone
50:44
asked. So how's everyone enjoying the
50:46
last name? I'll never what's.
50:52
The last name? Oh, Harrison.
50:56
No idea. How's everyone enjoying the last
50:58
name? I'm like, OK, let's see when I
51:03
was, I was enjoying my day one day, but then all of a sudden I
51:06
remember back in 8th grade, I borrowed my mom's laptop and
51:10
this was her search history. My daughter doesn't fit in and
51:13
gets excluded. My child is unlikable, my
51:18
daughter is annoying. I really don't like my son, my
51:24
child. Oh another my child isn't
51:26
likeable for the mom who doesn't like her daughter empathetic
51:30
parenting. My teenage daughter doesn't fit
51:34
in all that same thing. Wow, wow, rough.
51:37
That would be rough if you read. Can you imagine if you read
51:39
that? Yikes.
51:41
OK, this person posted. People without siblings should
51:46
required to under should be required to undergo rigorous
51:49
training before they are allowed to become a roommate.
51:52
Oh. Actually saying yes, the only
51:56
children who responded to this post are having fits as only
52:01
children would have, Stating that they are very angry,
52:06
writing paragraphs about how we didn't factor in their specific
52:09
personal experiences and we don't realize they're exhibiting
52:13
only child behavior in a way that you couldn't make up.
52:16
Yeah, the only children had a fit about that.
52:19
Let's see. When I'm feeling old, I like to
52:20
visit my parents so they can push all my buttons until I lose
52:23
my shit. And just like that, I'm 16
52:24
again. Just like that.
52:27
I'm 16. I guess My birthday is 9 months
52:29
to the day after my dad's. I have to live with that
52:32
knowledge for the rest of my life.
52:37
Me a surgeon chopping sweet potatoes with my mom.
52:40
My mom says to me, be careful with that knife.
52:46
Let's see, I tell people all the time now.
52:48
My parents didn't pass any weird habits on to me as I show up
52:53
five hours to the airport. Five hours early.
52:55
That's when you had to show up to the.
52:57
Airport, I say now. You do, yes.
52:59
Let's see, I'm too old to meeting new cousins.
53:01
If you aren't at grandma's, I don't know who you are.
53:04
Older sibling. Older siblings say my baby
53:07
brother. My baby brother who is 42 years
53:09
old is legit. Sure my mom birthed me and
53:13
raised me but I've had to explain to her how to check her
53:16
e-mail 95,000 times. So we're going to call it even.
53:21
We're going to call it even. So what was the what was the
53:23
underlying? These are all just like parents,
53:25
just family family quotes about. Families, let's see, parents,
53:30
parents who say I gave you everything I had and everything
53:35
meant the collector's edition box set of mental illness.
53:41
I thought that was the last one. That was pretty good.
53:43
I got, OK, I have a really short thing that I saw and I wrote
53:45
down, OK, I just wrote down the words Minnesota Confederate.
53:48
Flag. OK, I know.
53:51
I I was shocked. I literally shocked me.
53:53
There's a Confederate flag in Minnesota.
53:56
In Minnesota. OK, hit me with it.
53:58
Minnesota So I just think that this is very funny, OK?
54:02
Minnesota holds a captured 28th Virginia Infantry battle flag
54:06
from the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg, taken by Private
54:09
Marshall Sherman of the First Minnesota Volunteer Infantry
54:13
Regiment. So they captured it, yes.
54:17
OK, yeah, at a battle and get. His when they defeated yeah,
54:21
yes, OK. The state considers the blood
54:23
stained bullet holed flag a symbol of victory and a
54:27
treasured artifact. Now why why do I find this story
54:32
funny? Because Virginia has petitioned
54:36
them to return. To get it back OK.
54:38
Multiple. Times.
54:40
They're like, no. Every single time they, the
54:45
governor has struck it down like, no, you're what?
54:48
You're not going to do anything. We want anything good with that.
54:51
We're keeping it. We want it.
54:52
We won that battle fair and square.
54:54
We're keeping the flag. Fair and square, we're keeping
54:56
the damn flag. Now here's the thing.
55:00
Well, first of all, the location.
55:02
The flag was kept in Minnesota exhibiting the state capitol and
55:05
now resides with the Minnesota Historical Society, which holds
55:08
it in high security storage, rarely displaying it due to its
55:11
fragile conditions. Virginia has repeatedly
55:15
requested the return of the flag, including 1961, 2002, 1003
55:19
and 2013, all of which were declined.
55:22
Now listen to this. They they did before they
55:25
officially petitioned back in 1960.
55:28
They just kind of asked if they could have it back.
55:30
OK, the governor, Jesse Ventura famously said.
55:34
Jesse Ventura, who was a wrestler, famously said.
55:38
Why? I mean, we won.
55:43
Honestly, the only good thing Jesse Ventura as governor of
55:46
Minnesota ever did was declined to give them back.
55:49
The we're not giving it back. So I just find it very funny.
55:52
That's hilarious. Can we please have our flag
55:55
back? Minnesota's like, fuck, you know
55:57
what, you we're not giving it back you.
56:00
Can't have it. Can't have it, Virginia.
56:03
And I just. Think.
56:04
I just think that that's very funny.
56:06
That is very funny. I did not know that.
56:08
That's awesome. But yeah, because of course,
56:11
Minnesota's Confederate flag, but their beloved Confederate.
56:14
Beloved, right? Beloved what?
56:16
OK, I. Get it?
56:17
And that's hilarious. And they but yeah, they're
56:19
basically like Virginia. You're not going to do anything
56:21
good with this flag. No, you may not have it back.
56:23
Also can sound to the it's Fred Ely.
56:26
If we try to send it to you, it's probably just like they
56:29
take that thing out of storage. Dust Gone.
56:32
So gone. You ever seen the money?
56:36
Yeah, no, we're going to leave it in storage.
56:38
All right, well, I don't know about you, but after this we're
56:40
going to need some serious beef. It's some serious puck luck.
56:42
Okay, go Frost. Let's go Frost.
56:45
Bye. Bye.
