Speaker 1: Jay is referring to. And if you need to question
2:10
Speaker 1: Jason's bona fides by the way he not only loves
2:13
Speaker 1: but we said his passion about them. But his wife
2:14
Speaker 1: is an acclaimed actress, Jillian Mueller, who perhaps will make
2:17
Speaker 1: an appearance at some point. I know if it's today,
2:18
Speaker 1: don't know what it's gonna be. But she gets fired

Speaker 1: off the top rope as well and see what she's
2:24

Speaker 3: Well, see she's listening because she heard a little bit
2:27
Speaker 3: of last episode and I got I was on the

2:35
Speaker 3: being like she was like this is for ad Nan,
2:38
Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh my god, I'm so glad she's

2:45
Speaker 2: Oh all right, gets clothes on. Here we go. Tails
2:49
Speaker 2: from the road.
2:49
Speaker 1: I was just in Toronto for the lightning and the
2:52
Speaker 1: leafs as The Leafs are now four and oh on
2:53
Speaker 1: Prime doing fantastic. Also, it's the Flyers Devils on Saturday.
2:57
Speaker 1: Shout out to Ken Danigo hooked me and my son up.

3:02
Speaker 1: steak unlimited, Pepsi ice cream, so things to Big Papa
3:04
Speaker 1: Daniel Froking, it's up. Before I get your thoughts on that, though,
3:07
Speaker 1: Mike Myers is at the game and I was like,
3:09
Speaker 1: oh my god, how do we not have Mike Myers
3:11
Speaker 1: on set? We've gona have conversations and I go way
3:13
Speaker 1: back with Mike and they're like really, I'm like, oh
3:15
Speaker 1: my god. When The Love Guru came out, which again
3:18
Speaker 1: not many people have seen, there was a role that
3:21
Speaker 1: was the audition for the movie for the role.
3:25
Speaker 2: Of a sportscaster.
3:26
Speaker 1: So I auditioned for it, didn't get the role, but
3:28
Speaker 1: years whatever the movie came out. I had the audition,
3:31
Speaker 1: excuse me, the chance to interview Mike because he's doing
3:35
Speaker 1: the junket and as you know, the way the junkets go,
3:36
Speaker 1: you get three minutes with this guy.
3:37
Speaker 2: You come in, you come out.
3:38
Speaker 1: There's hundreds of outlets interviewing him. But since I was
3:41
Speaker 1: working at the Score at the time, I got my
3:42
Speaker 1: three minutes. So I go in there, shake hands, pleasantries,
3:45
Speaker 1: and rather than toss up softballs about the movie, I
3:47
Speaker 1: went right in. I go, Mike could be a huge fan,
3:49
Speaker 1: and let's start with this. The movie could have been better.
3:52
Speaker 1: And he's like, okay, And I said, there's the role
3:54
Speaker 1: of a sportscaster, who whomever it was? And he goes,
3:57
Speaker 1: I auditioned for it, I didn't get it, and he's
3:59
Speaker 1: a guy, go I would have been great, Like I'm
4:01
Speaker 1: in Toronto the sports cast, Like how how the hell
4:03
Speaker 1: did I not get the role? And I gotta be again.
4:05
Speaker 1: The rest of me is great, You're a great Timberlake
4:07
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. His character's name is Jacques Lacande. I go
4:10
Speaker 1: for you really playing of every French stereotype, and I
4:13
Speaker 1: really enjoyed Itim Jessica Alba fantastic who years later I
4:16
Speaker 1: interviewed instead of file And I'll get to that story
4:18
Speaker 1: in a second. And Mike Launch is right in the character.
4:20
Speaker 1: He goes, Okay, what do we have here, oh guy
4:22
Speaker 1: from the bidder burn? Well, well, well you're here to
4:25
Speaker 1: complain with the factor we're in the movie. Okay, let's
4:27
Speaker 1: you what else you got?
4:27
Speaker 2: Then that's all there is.
4:30
Speaker 1: I tripped, Timmy tripped right back. But he's a great
4:33
Speaker 1: dude and the movie is awful. But okay, one thought
4:35
Speaker 1: that you can go on the love Guru. This is
4:36
Speaker 1: what happens, Jays. You know in Hollywood when you have currency, Hey,
4:39
Speaker 1: you can do whatever you want. Bro, you made us
4:41
Speaker 1: a ton of money with the Austin Powers franchise. You've
4:43
Speaker 1: made so much money.
4:44
Speaker 2: Who do you want?
4:45
Speaker 1: What I really want to do is we were the
4:46
Speaker 1: main p leae from the Stanley Cup. Mike, this is
4:48
Speaker 1: America already gives a shit with the least. But that's
4:50
Speaker 1: what I care about. Okay, fine, we'll let you play
4:52
Speaker 1: like an Indian mystic and he becomes a guy who
4:54
Speaker 1: heals at least whatever. That movie effectively derailed Mike Myers's career.
4:58
Speaker 1: TA look up his IMDb. He has not made any
5:00
Speaker 1: major film of consequence since That's how atrocious that movie
5:04
Speaker 1: was received.
5:04
Speaker 2: And you're telling me you like it. It effectively ruined
5:06
Speaker 2: his career.
5:08
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, well it's one of those things that just
5:10
Speaker 3: I thought it was. Well, here's a couple of things.
5:12
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take away from this whole thing. Okay, that
5:14
Speaker 3: whole rant that you had, and we were almost out
5:16
Speaker 3: of time folks here.
5:18
Speaker 2: Talking about that's what we want to listen to.
5:19
Speaker 3: I mean, you not getting the roles in more of
5:21
Speaker 3: a you problem than Mike Myers problem. You probably just
5:24
Speaker 3: weren't good enough one. But it's okay, it's okay. Jacques
5:28
Speaker 3: lecoqe Grande was the only worst actor I've seen do
5:33
Speaker 3: an impersonation of a guy from Canada. French Canada is
5:37
Speaker 3: Keanu Reeves and young Blood. That's probably the only other
5:39
Speaker 3: guy that's worse. But Young Goode is a great movie.
5:43
Speaker 3: The fact that you said Jessica Alba is a good
5:45
Speaker 3: actress is horrendous. She's Her best movie is Into the Blue.
5:51
Speaker 3: The scene where she's swimming in the water. Great, when
5:56
Speaker 3: she's underwater. That's the best thing she's done. Nothing nothing
5:59
Speaker 3: against her. I think she's not a dark angel fan. No,
6:02
Speaker 3: I think she's done. Listen, She's had a great career.
6:04
Speaker 3: Do I think she's a great actress? Now? Not my
6:06
Speaker 3: cup of tea, not my cup of tay. But you
6:07
Speaker 3: did think chocolate cock Grande. That is you just that
6:12
Speaker 3: is what you think of the people of French Canada. Canadia.
6:15
Speaker 1: Let's get to the hockey, shall we. John Tavares out
6:17
Speaker 1: week to week with a lower body injury, the man
6:20
Speaker 1: who ruthlessly ripped the captaincy off his chestersro mind the world.
6:23
Speaker 1: He's still among the league's elite goal scorers. Austin Matthews
6:26
Speaker 1: entering Wednesday's action five goals is his current four game
6:29
Speaker 1: goal street.
6:29
Speaker 2: The Leafs sit comfortably in first place.
6:31
Speaker 1: As I mentioned Jay, watching that game, it was interesting
6:33
Speaker 1: because Austin Rena of the Gates scores. You know, Tampa
6:36
Speaker 1: Bay showed a little bit of life. But I think
6:38
Speaker 1: the Leafs have their number first the Atlantic right now.
6:41
Speaker 1: They're four and ozer on Amazon Prime. They had this
6:44
Speaker 1: three game losing streak and Willie Nielandard comes out and goes,
6:46
Speaker 1: it's only a three game losing streak. And took a
6:48
Speaker 1: little bit of heat there in Toronto, and I'm like,
6:49
Speaker 1: and Jody Shelley loved it. He goes, yeah, that's exactly right.
6:52
Speaker 1: It's only three game loser, Street, and we was played.
6:54
Speaker 1: Hockey knows how hard this sport is. It's not a
6:56
Speaker 1: big deal. Willie by the way, second league in goals
6:58
Speaker 1: to twenty eight.
6:59
Speaker 2: This Leaf's team. What do you make of this little
7:02
Speaker 2: run they've on right now? If to losing three straight,
7:03
Speaker 2: they win three straight.
7:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean again, they're gonna make the playoffs. They're
7:08
Speaker 3: gonna have guys that are gonna be good. Obviously. I'm like,
7:11
Speaker 3: let's see in April when it's playoff time. That's my
7:14
Speaker 3: big thing with them. It's the same with the Winnipeg Jets.
7:16
Speaker 3: There's nothing against any guy in that team. I think
7:19
Speaker 3: they all have great players. I think they've done a
7:20
Speaker 3: great job adding pieces on the back end. Chris tannev
7:24
Speaker 3: and Oliver Reckman Larson have done amazing things. They've revamped
7:27
Speaker 3: that decoor and then they've the one thing that I'll
7:31
Speaker 3: say is why I think I'm more bullish on them
7:35
Speaker 3: this year than I have in past years, is they've
7:37
Speaker 3: finally found a little semblance of consistency and nets and
7:42
Speaker 3: that's the biggest thing they've been missing. They've always had.
7:44
Speaker 3: You know, they pieced together this Frankenstein tandem at times
7:48
Speaker 3: guys that just weren't playing and then getting injured, and
7:51
Speaker 3: they now got Anthony Stillars, who is out but they
7:54
Speaker 3: have you know, Joseph woollen Net who's fantastic. He's my
7:58
Speaker 3: wonder Well he's been great.
8:02
Speaker 2: Come on, oh yeah, Michell Network said to me, he goes, hey,
8:07
Speaker 2: I like the pod. Just one thing.
8:08
Speaker 1: Don't sing because I know you love Sinashura. I know
8:11
Speaker 1: demerstings he can sing.
8:12
Speaker 2: Shut up with the singing. Uh no.
8:14
Speaker 3: But yeah, they have a good goalie tandem. And you
8:18
Speaker 3: know Joseph Wolsden great. I mean, even Matt Murray's down
8:21
Speaker 3: on the miners playing fantastic. And then you you know,
8:23
Speaker 3: you go to the bench boss and Craig Berube has one.
8:26
Speaker 3: He understands how to he seems to get how to
8:29
Speaker 3: get the most out of these guys. And I honestly
8:32
Speaker 3: think that Willie nielander his kind of attitude a little bit.
8:36
Speaker 3: And I think I say that in the most positive
8:39
Speaker 3: way possible. He does have an attitude, but I think
8:42
Speaker 3: that's what makes him so good. And I think Berube
8:44
Speaker 3: understands that and kind of likes when he is a
8:48
Speaker 3: little bit cocky and and you could see it on
8:50
Speaker 3: the bench when he wasn't playing early near He's like,
8:52
Speaker 3: just put me on the ice, and Bruba is like
8:53
Speaker 3: play better than do something, and then they kind of
8:55
Speaker 3: they probably have this really cool, unique relationship. So I
8:59
Speaker 3: think this is if there's a year, we say it
9:02
Speaker 3: every year with the leafs and I'm I'll see and
9:04
Speaker 3: I've been like waking up in April. But honestly, if
9:06
Speaker 3: there's a year, it's this year, because you know, you
9:10
Speaker 3: got everybody's getting a little bit older. You I'd probably
9:13
Speaker 3: say that the experience that this team has got over
9:16
Speaker 3: the past years, and the scars they've kind of gotten
9:19
Speaker 3: and and cuts they've taken from all these losses and defeats,
9:23
Speaker 3: I think is gonna finally give him a boost and
9:25
Speaker 3: they're gonna at least make it out of the first round.
9:28
Speaker 1: But I'm with you that the collective feelings wake me
9:30
Speaker 1: up in April May whenever, whatever, you know, let's see
9:33
Speaker 1: it because we've been burned so many times in the past,
9:35
Speaker 1: which I think is totally fair. Turmoils running the Vancouver Canucks.
9:38
Speaker 1: According to Elliott Frieman of Sports and Our Buddy Freeze,
9:41
Speaker 1: there was talk that J. T. Miller might be held
9:42
Speaker 1: out of Vancouver's three to two wins Saturday night against
9:45
Speaker 1: the Edmonton Oilers as trade talks involving and progressed, reportedly
9:48
Speaker 1: even at trading places in Miller to the Rangers, who
9:51
Speaker 1: drafted him the first round the twenty eleven draft for
9:53
Speaker 1: a package featuring Philip Heedo, Ryan Linggren and other assets
9:56
Speaker 1: including a first round pick, didn't happen. We've talked with
9:59
Speaker 1: this before, Jay, this is an alleged rift with Eleis Pederson,
10:02
Speaker 1: j T.
10:03
Speaker 2: Miller. Just one of these guys have to be traded
10:05
Speaker 2: for things to get better.
10:07
Speaker 3: No, I've we we went through this a couple episodes ago,
10:11
Speaker 3: but you know, I'll echo it again that you have
10:13
Speaker 3: to figure out a way to make it work. There's
10:15
Speaker 3: no way that if you trade one of those guys
10:16
Speaker 3: that are making the playoffs anyway and their borderline now
10:20
Speaker 3: you know they've had They've got bigger fish to fry.
10:22
Speaker 3: You know, goaltending has been tough. Demco can't stay healthy
10:25
Speaker 3: and he has when he's back, he hasn't been good.
10:27
Speaker 3: He has been up to snuff defensively, They've they're not
10:30
Speaker 3: the same decoor. You know, Quinn Hughes is I saw
10:33
Speaker 3: some stats that like when Quinn Hughes is not on
10:35
Speaker 3: the ice, they are absolutely abysmal in every metric of
10:39
Speaker 3: driving play and scoring chances for and scoring chances against.
10:43
Speaker 3: It's just not pretty when he's not on the ice.
10:45
Speaker 3: So he's really their only guy cooking. And then up front,
10:47
Speaker 3: you know, Peterson's making eleven six a year and he
10:49
Speaker 3: hasn't done much and he's you know, nothing against him
10:54
Speaker 3: in terms of he's a good player, but he's just
10:55
Speaker 3: not playing up to his his you know, the money
10:59
Speaker 3: that he's making. So but do I think they trade JT.
11:02
Speaker 3: Miller it all goes away? No, I think it would be.
11:04
Speaker 3: I don't think they make the playoffs. So I heard
11:07
Speaker 3: about that Nick's trade. And conversely, if I'm another team,
11:10
Speaker 3: I'm doing what I can to get JT. Miller because, yeah, JT.
11:13
Speaker 3: Miller is a little fiery. Yeah, he's probably a little
11:15
Speaker 3: bit too hard on himself and on his teammates and
11:17
Speaker 3: can be a distraction. But I think with the right
11:19
Speaker 3: group of veterans and for a limited run of like
11:23
Speaker 3: starting you know, at the trade deadline till playoffs, I
11:26
Speaker 3: think he is an invaluable ad to any team and
11:30
Speaker 3: is so he would just provide such a spark and
11:33
Speaker 3: you know, you put him on the Rangers, and I'm
11:36
Speaker 3: immediately going from these guys are borderline making the playoffs
11:39
Speaker 3: to this is Cup contenders in my eyes, just because
11:42
Speaker 3: he's he's so fiery and he plays in every you know,
11:45
Speaker 3: he can play in every situation.
11:47
Speaker 2: Speaking of a.
11:47
Speaker 1: Little bit of rough stuff though, Connor McDavid and Tyler
11:50
Speaker 1: Myers suspensions. McDavid gets games for crossing Connor Garland the
11:55
Speaker 1: head Connor and Connor violence, second suspension of Jesus' career
11:59
Speaker 1: following a two game ban February twenty nineteen. After the
12:02
Speaker 1: legal hits the head of New York defenseman Nick Letty
12:05
Speaker 1: Leon Dreysa.
12:06
Speaker 2: The latter expressly he thought the punishment was too severe.
12:09
Speaker 4: Certainly, I think three games is a little little too
12:13
Speaker 4: much for either side. But yeah, I guess we don't
12:22
Speaker 4: overly care about having our best players in the league
12:25
Speaker 4: in the game, so.
12:27
Speaker 3: I'll leave it at that.
12:28
Speaker 1: Oilers even released a team statement that read, the Oilers
12:31
Speaker 1: organizations disappointed and we shared our fans frustrations with the
12:35
Speaker 1: three games suspension of our captain Connor mc david. Will
12:37
Speaker 1: you support him through the process the organization our fans
12:39
Speaker 1: report on them back the line of Brazil next week.
12:41
Speaker 2: Three Gamer too much.
12:44
Speaker 3: I mean Edmonton's statement they released is a little soft. No,
12:47
Speaker 3: if you're gonna if you're gonna go at the league,
12:49
Speaker 3: go at the league like come on, like you're.
12:52
Speaker 2: Say this is outrageous or we're irate, will challenge this.
12:55
Speaker 2: You disagree, we'll see back.
12:57
Speaker 3: Fine. No, listen, whatever Myers got, he was getting. You
13:01
Speaker 3: can't do one an the other. Again, I think that
13:03
Speaker 3: play should have been whistled fifteen seconds before. So I
13:06
Speaker 3: do think it's on the reffing now, the refing. It's
13:08
Speaker 3: a fine line and it's kind of a playoff style game.
13:11
Speaker 3: It's dying embers of the game. But the goalie's pulled.
13:14
Speaker 3: They're wrestling on the ground doing you know, Greco Roman wrestling.
13:17
Speaker 3: It's not even a hockey play. So I would have
13:19
Speaker 3: whistled and gave both them a minor and this never happens,
13:21
Speaker 3: so you know, I feel like that would have avoided everything.
13:26
Speaker 3: But then once the cross check happens, you know, you
13:29
Speaker 3: have to take repercussions. Now, I think it was probably
13:31
Speaker 3: between one and three games. They went on the high
13:34
Speaker 3: side three It could have been one, but then Myers
13:37
Speaker 3: was just as bad behind and he I'm sure got
13:40
Speaker 3: three as well before Connor got three. They probably waited
13:43
Speaker 3: a little bit longer with Connor. But yeah, it's tough
13:46
Speaker 3: when you take you know, you take out a guy
13:49
Speaker 3: that's the face of the league and take him up
13:51
Speaker 3: for three games. And we were going through a crazy
13:53
Speaker 3: stat of like the amount of games, sorry, amount of
13:56
Speaker 3: penalties that Connor McDavid has drawn since his past four
14:01
Speaker 3: years is like way down, Like he's not drawing as
14:03
Speaker 3: many penalty So that either means that he's just not
14:07
Speaker 3: being as dominant as it was, which is not the case,
14:09
Speaker 3: or refs are letting it go a little bit more
14:11
Speaker 3: on him and kind of letting people have their way
14:13
Speaker 3: and hooking and holding him and not protecting him as much.
14:16
Speaker 3: So do I think that's the case. I don't know.
14:18
Speaker 3: That's for the fans to look and take a piece.
14:20
Speaker 3: We just pour a little gasoline on the fire and
14:23
Speaker 3: let you let you people cook. But I just think
14:27
Speaker 3: that was off sides by Connor. Listen, you're cross checking
14:30
Speaker 3: a guy in the chin. It's still a dangerous play.
14:33
Speaker 3: It's a stick. You're crossing him the face. I know
14:34
Speaker 3: you're upset, you're pissed.
14:36
Speaker 2: It is what it is.
14:38
Speaker 3: Uh, he's gonna take the suspension. He'll be back, probably
14:40
Speaker 3: four points in his first game back, and just give
14:42
Speaker 3: the old fingy to everybody's fuck good and they're gonna yeah.
14:47
Speaker 1: So how about the fact even Houston Texans running back
14:49
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon mentioned the suspension, but.
14:52
Speaker 3: Joe Joe Mix watches hockey.
14:54
Speaker 2: We gonna try to get him on a lay Listen
14:56
Speaker 2: on script Joey mis take me out to Dinna Texan's
15:02
Speaker 2: tough loss against the Chiefs.
15:03
Speaker 1: But Joel Dixon is still in a the scripted they
15:05
Speaker 1: do stack especially can playoff time one more.
15:08
Speaker 3: We're talking photo. Hang on, you're talking about the refs
15:10
Speaker 3: in Kansas City. That's easy.
15:12
Speaker 1: Now wait, this is the controver's talking about its favorable treatment.
15:15
Speaker 3: So Rick Deck and Mahomes is a Mahomes is a
15:19
Speaker 3: diver right now, it's just ask yeah, soccer's But again,
15:24
Speaker 3: he's richer than us and he's a great athlete, so
15:26
Speaker 3: you know I could say this and he can. I
15:28
Speaker 3: can go suck it.
15:29
Speaker 2: Listen.
15:29
Speaker 1: As long as the Eagles win this weekend. I need
15:31
Speaker 1: another Eagles super Bowl win. I've had one in my
15:33
Speaker 1: lifetime and I lost it. We need one more Eagles win.
15:35
Speaker 1: They're gonna beat the Commanders and then I'm hoping. Listen,
15:37
Speaker 1: Bill's Maffia and the Eagles. Unbelievable, what a game that
15:40
Speaker 1: would be.
15:41
Speaker 3: Well, I'm more, I'm you know, I'm on the Cinderella
15:43
Speaker 3: train with Commanders right now.
15:44
Speaker 2: I just I have to be I know that's weak.
15:48
Speaker 3: I need I need a poster of that face you
15:50
Speaker 3: make when you go, oh yeah.
15:52
Speaker 2: And I can't even hide my contempt. You can't. It's awful.
15:56
Speaker 3: You live in contempt.
15:58
Speaker 1: There are four win teams a year ago, and it's
16:00
Speaker 1: a great story. And Jane Jalels is awesome. The fact
16:02
Speaker 1: that you're pulling for the commander, like, that's that's Eagles.
16:06
Speaker 3: Let's go against the Eagles fan base.
16:08
Speaker 1: That's different. You're anti Phillies, That's what that's about. Me
16:11
Speaker 1: and Jim Sarator one more for you. According to recent
16:15
Speaker 1: reports online, GM, Kyle Dubas and the Penguins officially open
16:19
Speaker 1: for business. So Tristan Jarry, who I don't know if
16:21
Speaker 1: you said this on there or not, but I agree
16:22
Speaker 1: with you, like he hasn't been good for a while,
16:24
Speaker 1: so we could agree on that he's put on waivers.
16:26
Speaker 1: But a report from Archie Sports Clams ever on the
16:28
Speaker 1: team available except for said the Kid and Kenny Malcolm,
16:32
Speaker 1: Brian Rust, Philip Thomasino and Owen Pickering, so two big names.
16:37
Speaker 1: I would throw Rust in as well in a couple
16:38
Speaker 1: of guys. I think Pickering, Yeah, traded land over a
16:41
Speaker 1: month away. Penguins aren't going anywhere, and you know I
16:43
Speaker 1: both know this. The worst place to be is kind
16:45
Speaker 1: of one foot in, one foot out. Either you're going
16:47
Speaker 1: for the playass, you're gunning for it, you real estate
16:48
Speaker 1: think you can do it, or you just say no,
16:51
Speaker 1: we're we're out like it's and we'll just punt on
16:52
Speaker 1: some assets and and we'll reload. What do you think
16:55
Speaker 1: the way it's gone for the Penguins. Dubis unfortunately has
16:57
Speaker 1: not been able to make things work.
16:59
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean I would fire Kyle Dubis off into
17:03
Speaker 3: the sun if he does what I think he's gonna do.
17:05
Speaker 3: Just man, anytime you have sid and I've heard a
17:09
Speaker 3: ton of people say this, and unfortunately you know they
17:11
Speaker 3: were first to it because you know we film on
17:13
Speaker 3: Wednesdays and you know it is what it is. But
17:16
Speaker 3: you know, anytime you have a healthy Crosby that's doing
17:18
Speaker 3: the way and playing the way he's playing, for you
17:20
Speaker 3: to even consider a goddamn rebuild is so stupid. Look
17:25
Speaker 3: at what they do with Ovechkin. They Ovechkin was ademic
17:31
Speaker 3: like two years ago and like the team. They were like,
17:33
Speaker 3: he might not get the record and this and that,
17:35
Speaker 3: and he has a good year, and management and ownership
17:37
Speaker 3: comes out and backs Alexandrovechkin, they say, until the wheels
17:41
Speaker 3: fall off of him and he is no longer the
17:44
Speaker 3: Russian machine, we will continue to try to win a
17:46
Speaker 3: cup and have a competitive team on the ice. That is,
17:51
Speaker 3: that team was a hundred times worse and less had
17:55
Speaker 3: less talent last year than this Penguins team does right now,
17:58
Speaker 3: and they're talking about getting rid of it instead of
18:02
Speaker 3: maybe finding a place, maybe finding some some guys to
18:04
Speaker 3: bring in, because wasting Crosby his last year's in his
18:08
Speaker 3: twilight years, even though he's still dominant, is just such
18:12
Speaker 3: a spit in his face whatever you want to call it.
18:15
Speaker 3: You're spatting, spitting, spitting in his face, kicking dirt in
18:19
Speaker 3: his eyes, and you're you're just telling them, hey, you
18:21
Speaker 3: know what it is, what it is, You're just gonna
18:24
Speaker 3: play at the PPG arena for the rest of your
18:26
Speaker 3: career and not even sniff a cup. So if I
18:28
Speaker 3: was him, and I wonder if he has conversations with
18:32
Speaker 3: Dubas uh. And I'm not a fan of Dubas because
18:35
Speaker 3: I saw him after the Winter Classic. I was on
18:37
Speaker 3: the plane going back. He was sitting, he was sitting right.
18:40
Speaker 2: In front of me.
18:42
Speaker 3: I just went, hey, Kyle, you know, getting meet and
18:44
Speaker 3: Jason reseen, and he just goes, hi, yeah, And I
18:47
Speaker 3: was like, oh, no, no, Kyle, don't do that to me. Kyle,
18:53
Speaker 3: you know who I am. Probably does no, he probably,
18:57
Speaker 3: he probably doesn't, even though I was like, come on, fella,
19:01
Speaker 3: I was in analytics, Darling, which is his that's what
19:04
Speaker 3: his thing.
19:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's all the analytics didn't work out in Toronto,
19:06
Speaker 1: but Pittsburg is trying to make it work.
19:08
Speaker 2: To your point, it's like managerial malpractice.
19:11
Speaker 1: Like you've got Sid who's a generational player and he's
19:13
Speaker 1: gonna play the last few years relative obscurity.
19:15
Speaker 2: Like you just you can't rebuild when you have this guy, period.
19:18
Speaker 3: No, you can't. You wouldn't do that with McDavid. You
19:20
Speaker 3: wouldn't do that with McKinnon. I know they were younger,
19:22
Speaker 3: but Crosby what he's doing. If you were looking at
19:24
Speaker 3: his body of work this year and last year, he's
19:26
Speaker 3: not slowing down. So why would you waste a year
19:30
Speaker 3: and not try to win? Now, maybe you get a
19:32
Speaker 3: first overall and it kind of turns your team around,
19:36
Speaker 3: but because you have said you don't need to fully rebuild,
19:39
Speaker 3: he's obviously such a cornerstone piece. But I just think
19:42
Speaker 3: it's it's crazy to me, like the fact that they
19:45
Speaker 3: wouldn't push to make up the playoffs this year and
19:47
Speaker 3: keep trying to is is asin eind.
19:51
Speaker 2: Even if they're squinting right now, like Tall the potential playoffs.
19:53
Speaker 3: Spot, he's fucking magoo over there.
19:58
Speaker 1: Time now for Jordan Martinook, who is having a terrific
20:01
Speaker 1: season the Carolina Hurricanes, you'll want to listen to the
20:03
Speaker 1: story that chemistry has with JD as former players. Plus
20:06
Speaker 1: what kind of an animal would order just vanilla ice
20:09
Speaker 1: cream at a dinner?
20:10
Speaker 2: You'll find out next Well, Jason de Burs and this
20:24
Speaker 2: guy go way back.
20:24
Speaker 1: Jordan Martin Hook the Carolina Hurricanes joining us right now,
20:27
Speaker 1: and uh, I'm gonna let JD take over the second here,
20:29
Speaker 1: but Jordan joining us along with his lovely son chase,
20:32
Speaker 1: which is a classic move here.
20:33
Speaker 2: Just bring the sun on.
20:34
Speaker 1: So now we definitely can't ask anything hard hitting, nothing incriminating.
20:37
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you one thing Jason told me some intel, Jordan,
20:39
Speaker 1: which is I have to start with this. You think
20:41
Speaker 1: I started with some hockey, maybe Marty Natchius, maybe rober
20:43
Speaker 1: Brenda Martin. No, JD tells you the biggest Nickelback fan alive.
20:47
Speaker 1: What is it with you and Chad Kroger.
20:50
Speaker 5: Well, I'll burt a band, uh just had some had
20:54
Speaker 5: some very good times at a couple of other concerts,
20:57
Speaker 5: and yeah, it's the band I grew up on. So
20:59
Speaker 5: when I was a kid, that's all we listened to
21:02
Speaker 5: out in the prairie. So uh yeah, uh yeah, big
21:08
Speaker 5: Nickelbacks fan, that's for sure.
21:09
Speaker 2: Can you can you growl through a lyric or two?
21:11
Speaker 2: This is how you remind me?
21:12
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, he's karaokeated enough. You get you've you've
21:15
Speaker 3: ran into him once and hung out with him a
21:17
Speaker 3: little bit, and and he's it. He's a big hockey
21:20
Speaker 3: fan Nickelback. I mean the whole band, not to just
21:22
Speaker 3: Chack Kroger, but the whole band is big hockey fans.
21:25
Speaker 5: No, yeah, wan, I got to sing with them, So
21:27
Speaker 5: that's uh, that's a that's the highlight of my professional career.
21:31
Speaker 6: That's for sure.
21:32
Speaker 2: Okay, more details on this. Where was it? How many
21:34
Speaker 2: people hundred thousand while Jordan Martinook sings?
21:37
Speaker 6: No, Well, I was in Raleigh.
21:38
Speaker 5: That was that last last year, right at the start
21:42
Speaker 5: of the season, right before training cap and it was
21:45
Speaker 5: at like the outdoor music venue here and I think
21:47
Speaker 5: there's about twenty thousand people. So, uh, sang Box Star
21:51
Speaker 5: with them, and yeah, it was cool. It was Uh,
21:55
Speaker 5: it was unbelievable, that's for sure.
21:57
Speaker 2: Nice.
21:57
Speaker 3: Was Chase in attendance? Did you see did you get
22:00
Speaker 3: to see Dad sing?
22:01
Speaker 6: Chase was not there, but he's seen the video many times.
22:04
Speaker 3: How was Dad was?
22:05
Speaker 6: He? Was?
22:05
Speaker 3: He singing pretty good?
22:08
Speaker 6: It was on key?
22:09
Speaker 3: All right, that's good. You mentioned Raleigh, buddy, and you
22:12
Speaker 3: know I was with you. I had the pleasure of
22:13
Speaker 3: playing with you in in Arizona when you were a
22:16
Speaker 3: young pup and now you're a season vet, established yourself
22:20
Speaker 3: and everything. How's it been in Raleigh and and you
22:23
Speaker 3: know living in that just kind of great family, family atmosphere.
22:27
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, obviously we spent our time together in Arizona
22:31
Speaker 5: and had no kids, and we were having fun and
22:36
Speaker 5: got to go out a little more. And now the
22:38
Speaker 5: season of life has definitely changed. So we are got
22:42
Speaker 5: two kids in school. We are not going out. We
22:47
Speaker 5: maybe get an odd dinner here or there, but our
22:49
Speaker 5: lives kind of revolve around.
22:52
Speaker 6: Him and his sister.
22:53
Speaker 5: And it's six thirty AM practices on Saturday mornings and
22:58
Speaker 5: Ninja Dragon games on Saturday Sunday afternoons. And there's been
23:03
Speaker 5: a big week in Raleig because we've had snow for
23:07
Speaker 5: the first time I think in three years, so there's
23:11
Speaker 5: been school canceled. It was beautiful sunny day out today,
23:14
Speaker 5: but I guess the roads are too icy, so they
23:16
Speaker 5: have another snow day tomorrow. But he's pretty happy to
23:19
Speaker 5: geus to stay home again.
23:21
Speaker 3: Well, talking about truancy and snow days and things that
23:24
Speaker 3: are offsides. I have a question for you. It's about
23:27
Speaker 3: statute of limitations. I was supposed to be on You
23:31
Speaker 3: came on NHL Network a couple months ago and they
23:34
Speaker 3: asked me, and I was so mad. I wasn't in
23:36
Speaker 3: studio because I wanted to bring this story up. And
23:37
Speaker 3: I've been holding on to the story. So, I when
23:40
Speaker 3: Marty left Arizona during the you know, and then COVID happened,
23:44
Speaker 3: I was renting his house. So I lived in his
23:46
Speaker 3: house for probably a year year and a half, and
23:49
Speaker 3: one of the most remarkable tenants anybody could ask for.
23:53
Speaker 3: Kept it absolutely dialed in everything. So when I'm leaving
23:57
Speaker 3: the house, I'm I clean up the place because he
24:00
Speaker 3: was going to sell it, so I was getting it ready,
24:01
Speaker 3: me and my wife just just it's absolutely immaculate. I'm
24:04
Speaker 3: pretty sure he made a hell of a return on it.
24:08
Speaker 3: But as I'm leaving, I'm like, oh, there's some some
24:10
Speaker 3: stuff left over. I'm like, do you want me to
24:11
Speaker 3: like send you anything? No, I don't get anything. It's
24:13
Speaker 3: all good, So I'm okay. So he had a dice
24:15
Speaker 3: in vacuum there, so I grab and he knows what
24:18
Speaker 3: I'm going on. So I grabbed this dice in vacuum,
24:20
Speaker 3: take it with me. Don't hear anything for like two years, okay,
24:25
Speaker 3: and then two years and I get two years, I
24:29
Speaker 3: got a text. All I get is hey, uh, me
24:33
Speaker 3: and quarter looking for that his wife. We're looking for
24:35
Speaker 3: that dice in vacuum. And I was like, yeah, I've
24:38
Speaker 3: had it, and he's and he's like, well, it's an
24:40
Speaker 3: expensive vacuum. He's like, can you send me some cash
24:43
Speaker 3: for it? And I was like, what are you kidding me?
24:47
Speaker 3: So I still send him the money, but I've been
24:49
Speaker 3: holding on to that, and I said, what are the
24:51
Speaker 3: statute of limitations if you leave something in the house
24:53
Speaker 3: that you're selling.
24:54
Speaker 5: Well, first off, first off, we got all because it
24:57
Speaker 5: was my furniture in the house that he was renting,
25:00
Speaker 5: so all my stuff was in there. And when we
25:03
Speaker 5: sold it, we got all all the stuff moved into
25:05
Speaker 5: a storage unit.
25:07
Speaker 6: I thought we got.
25:08
Speaker 5: All the stuff moved into unit, but there's a couple
25:12
Speaker 5: of things that didn't make it in that storage unit,
25:14
Speaker 5: including my dice in vacuum. So we get to our
25:18
Speaker 5: our stuff gets delivered to our house in Raleigh and
25:21
Speaker 5: we don't have a vacuum, and I was and of
25:23
Speaker 5: course like, oh I remember having that big, beautiful dice
25:26
Speaker 5: in in in Arizona. So she's like, do you mind
25:29
Speaker 5: texting JD. So this is more on court than it
25:32
Speaker 5: was on me. I said, let's just get a new vacuum.
25:34
Speaker 1: But then.
25:36
Speaker 2: If it's on the life right, then Jay that's what's understandable.
25:40
Speaker 2: He's just chiming in.
25:42
Speaker 6: He's in the background.
25:44
Speaker 3: I sent the money. I sent the money. Can we
25:47
Speaker 3: ask how much shity? It was overvalued? You know, typically
25:51
Speaker 3: you buy furniture stuff, and I looked on Amazon. It
25:54
Speaker 3: was overvalued a bit. But listen, I knew I caused
25:57
Speaker 3: some damage. It's about three hundred.
26:00
Speaker 6: Yeah, listen too. But I didn't ask about those.
26:04
Speaker 3: What else did I take?
26:06
Speaker 6: No, I don't know.
26:06
Speaker 2: I don't know.
26:07
Speaker 3: Well, I took some of the I took some of
26:09
Speaker 3: the booze. Yeah, I took some of the booze. I
26:11
Speaker 3: think that you left it was it was low quality wine.
26:14
Speaker 6: Yeah, so that was the vacuum story. I knew you
26:15
Speaker 6: were going to bring that up.
26:17
Speaker 3: I have been holding on that and the goddamn thing
26:19
Speaker 3: doesn't work either, he said, junk.
26:22
Speaker 6: Well, maybe I'll bend mill you a couple hunter back.
26:24
Speaker 3: I'll take fifty back.
26:28
Speaker 1: In the interest of asking one question about the hurricanes,
26:31
Speaker 1: where we will dive back in more topics and petty
26:33
Speaker 1: grievances that JD wants to have with you.
26:34
Speaker 2: I didn't want to ask him about Rod Brendan Moore Jordan.
26:37
Speaker 1: I loved him as a player, obviously when he was
26:39
Speaker 1: with the Flyers, the Blues, and now as a coach,
26:41
Speaker 1: he's been so successful five hundred wins.
26:43
Speaker 2: Now, to me, when I look at Brendan Wore, I'm like,
26:45
Speaker 2: you know, it's very I.
26:46
Speaker 1: Always think of like him being an athletic trainer, like
26:48
Speaker 1: if he was a trainer, that I have to listen
26:50
Speaker 1: to what he says, because clearly he practices what he preaches.
26:52
Speaker 1: So if he's telling me about conditioning, I'm like, well,
26:54
Speaker 1: clearly he's in the best conditioning. What can you tell
26:56
Speaker 1: me about Brandon war that the average fan doesn't realize.
27:00
Speaker 6: Well, you're you're well on the right topic.
27:02
Speaker 5: There's in before practice, after practice. He does our all
27:07
Speaker 5: our fitness testing every year, which is pretty crazy. I
27:10
Speaker 5: think the older he's getting all the heart of that
27:12
Speaker 5: bike test is getting on him.
27:14
Speaker 6: But I just think he's he's an unbelievable motivator.
27:19
Speaker 5: I don't like the NHL's posted a ton of his
27:23
Speaker 5: speeches throughout the lot, throughout his time coaching, and especially
27:28
Speaker 5: in the playoffs when obviously the light has shined a
27:31
Speaker 5: little brighter on the team. He he can he can
27:35
Speaker 5: really get you going and before the game. It's I
27:40
Speaker 5: think it's a it's some coaches haven't. Some coaches don't.
27:43
Speaker 5: He definitely has it to be able to to be
27:46
Speaker 5: able to get the team ready to go and a
27:50
Speaker 5: lot of preparation. And it's not just him, it's our
27:52
Speaker 5: entire coaching staff. They do they do, Uh, they do
27:55
Speaker 5: a great job getting us ready. But definitely the motivation
27:58
Speaker 5: factor that he brings is big.
28:01
Speaker 1: And by the way, Gordy House still played the game
28:03
Speaker 1: at fifty Rod Brendanwre's fifty four.
28:06
Speaker 2: Could he play an a game, Oh.
28:08
Speaker 6: I think you could probably get a couple of fourth
28:10
Speaker 6: line shifts in there. He'd be.
28:14
Speaker 5: Well, they have the alumbn guy alumni game here the
28:16
Speaker 5: other night for Rik Stall's jersey retirement.
28:18
Speaker 6: He still looked pretty good.
28:19
Speaker 3: What did it was his stat line when you have
28:21
Speaker 3: one in one or something, He looked like he drove
28:23
Speaker 3: the net on one and made a sick move.
28:25
Speaker 5: Yeah, he had a goal and then uh he was
28:27
Speaker 5: out there for the game winner against though, So I'm like,
28:32
Speaker 5: for me up there, former winner.
28:37
Speaker 6: On his best defense.
28:39
Speaker 3: Well, you talk about, you know, Rod being a motivator,
28:41
Speaker 3: but you do a lot of that too, and you
28:43
Speaker 3: know it went as far back as with me, and
28:46
Speaker 3: you know you you're kind of have the iconic mista
28:49
Speaker 3: sketch nick Off And how did that you know kind
28:53
Speaker 3: of when did you start that?
28:55
Speaker 2: And what? You know?
28:56
Speaker 6: What did that was in Arizona? I started that in Arizona.
28:59
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, exactly, I know, I know the answers. I
29:02
Speaker 3: got to ask you the question though, it's the fancy.
29:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, the well, you remember Sweet Lou, the parking attendant.
29:08
Speaker 5: So when I would drive with Connor Murphy and Toby Reader,
29:11
Speaker 5: I would always sit in the back and it would
29:13
Speaker 5: be Connor driving in Toby and Sweet Lou would always.
29:16
Speaker 6: Go, oh, mister Connor, I'm mister Toby.
29:20
Speaker 5: I like, I don't know how itered into me doing it.
29:24
Speaker 5: I would do it to Toby Reader and I go, ah,
29:27
Speaker 5: mister Toby. And then when I came to Carolina's Fetch
29:32
Speaker 5: was eighteen years old.
29:33
Speaker 6: He was like nervous.
29:35
Speaker 5: He didn't speak a ton of English, and I ended
29:38
Speaker 5: up being on his line the first game. And I
29:41
Speaker 5: don't know, for your first game, you're always a little nervous.
29:44
Speaker 5: So I just did that out of nowhere, and I
29:48
Speaker 5: don't know what kind of stuck is it?
29:50
Speaker 3: From like a place in nerves or is it really
29:53
Speaker 3: just something that you know it gets you hyped up
29:55
Speaker 3: a little bit.
29:56
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I I like yelling, I like being well
30:01
Speaker 6: you probably are going to say I like being at
30:03
Speaker 6: the center of it.
30:04
Speaker 5: So it hard to be at the center of it
30:08
Speaker 5: in Arizona because I had so many guys like you
30:11
Speaker 5: and Ritchie and nots.
30:13
Speaker 6: I was more of the punching bag there than the
30:17
Speaker 6: the show off my personality.
30:19
Speaker 2: They were me and you.
30:20
Speaker 3: I was never I always brought you back, but they were.
30:24
Speaker 3: They'd get on him a little bit. Kevin Cannatt and
30:26
Speaker 3: Bradley Richardson together are are are tough. I mean, one
30:31
Speaker 3: guy that you probably all want to win for is
30:35
Speaker 3: not only Stallzy, but you know Brent Burns, who's been
30:38
Speaker 3: around for so long, and I mean a lot of
30:41
Speaker 3: people have heard stories about him, and I haven't been
30:43
Speaker 3: played with him in a while, but you know, I
30:45
Speaker 3: have my stories of him of like, you know, him
30:47
Speaker 3: getting bit by a cheetah and then getting a tattoo
30:49
Speaker 3: of it, But like, has anything happened just in terms
30:52
Speaker 3: of like his preparation and how wild he is because
30:55
Speaker 3: he does some some stuff that's just so zany and
30:59
Speaker 3: out there and anything you've seen or that he's added
31:01
Speaker 3: that I haven't seen when I played with him, Well,
31:04
Speaker 3: I I.
31:04
Speaker 5: Don't know if he was doing the like was he
31:06
Speaker 5: doing the coffee you were with him? Like, No, he's
31:10
Speaker 5: got like his blender that he blends his coffee and
31:13
Speaker 5: brings all his coffee and his beans and all that,
31:15
Speaker 5: like that's in one of his He's got like six
31:18
Speaker 5: suitcases for a one game trip like he take. He
31:22
Speaker 5: takes care of himself obviously to be able to play
31:25
Speaker 5: this long, you got you got to take care of yourself.
31:27
Speaker 5: But he's got every machine known to man on him
31:31
Speaker 5: at all times.
31:31
Speaker 6: And yeah, he's he's each.
31:37
Speaker 5: Thirty five ounces of steak, usually the night before a game.
31:40
Speaker 5: And yeah, he's he's one of a kind. And like
31:44
Speaker 5: you said, that's probably the number one guy that what
31:46
Speaker 5: we want to win for and he's been around for
31:49
Speaker 5: so long and it's never won one.
31:51
Speaker 6: So yeah, he's he's the Cheatah story is.
31:56
Speaker 5: Incredible though, and I love that you were on his
31:58
Speaker 5: team when that happened.
32:00
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he went to a zoo to go get
32:02
Speaker 3: like a private tour. I can't remember where what zoo
32:05
Speaker 3: and then he went into the cheat exhibit and they said, hey,
32:09
Speaker 3: just you know, be careful, you know, don't you know,
32:12
Speaker 3: get too ornery around the cheetah. And he did and
32:16
Speaker 3: moved a little too quick. The cheetah took a piece
32:18
Speaker 3: out of him, right out of his ribs. And he
32:20
Speaker 3: came into the ring the next day with tal happy.
32:22
Speaker 3: He's I got a bit by a cheetah. He's like,
32:24
Speaker 3: it's actually pretty bad ass. I'm gonna get a tattoo.
32:26
Speaker 3: But he's got a tattoo in his ribs of it.
32:28
Speaker 3: And it's like that's just the stuff he did. I mean,
32:31
Speaker 3: he had his own owlery when he was in Minnesota
32:34
Speaker 3: and all sorts of things like that. But you know,
32:37
Speaker 3: switching gears a bit, and you guys are coming down
32:40
Speaker 3: that stretch for coming into Four Nations and then the
32:43
Speaker 3: Break and everything, and we talk about Guys. We talked
32:46
Speaker 3: about the last episode of Guys going on Break where
32:48
Speaker 3: they go and obviously we had some great times. And
32:52
Speaker 3: I told you I was bringing this story of up
32:54
Speaker 3: of us going to Cabo for probably one of the
32:56
Speaker 3: most legendary trips that was highlighted by a picture with
33:00
Speaker 3: you and Kyle Busch that I wish I still had,
33:03
Speaker 3: but we got a restraining order on us by Kyle
33:07
Speaker 3: Busch because we were annoying him. It was on me,
33:12
Speaker 3: it was but listen, we're all in it together. We're
33:15
Speaker 3: we're you know, we're we're.
33:17
Speaker 6: Oh, you guys are hagging me on too. That was
33:19
Speaker 6: the worst part.
33:21
Speaker 5: We had a few tequilas on the golf course and
33:23
Speaker 5: then came back and I'm not a huge NASCAR fan,
33:26
Speaker 5: but a fairly big NASCAR fan, and I was like, Oh,
33:29
Speaker 5: I recognize that guy, and then I put one and
33:32
Speaker 5: two together and it was Kyle Busch. So then I
33:35
Speaker 5: went over and tried to speak out my ass that
33:38
Speaker 5: I knew everything about NASCAR and.
33:42
Speaker 6: Just wouldn't let him go. He's there with his wife and.
33:44
Speaker 5: His kids, and he just wanted to have a good
33:46
Speaker 5: time with his family, and we're belligerently bullying him about NASCAR.
33:50
Speaker 3: And maybe body part of it.
33:55
Speaker 2: Well, are you a pro athlete?
33:58
Speaker 6: Our NASCAR drivers athletes, So I better be careful.
34:01
Speaker 5: I'm I'm supposed to go to a race and one
34:03
Speaker 5: of the guys is hooking me up, so I very
34:05
Speaker 5: be careful saying that.
34:08
Speaker 3: Literally, there's one other guy on our trip. I can't
34:10
Speaker 3: mention his name because the story's too good, but we
34:13
Speaker 3: literally ended up going to dinner that night in Mexico
34:16
Speaker 3: and Cabo and he only ordered ice cream for dinner.
34:21
Speaker 2: That's unbelievable. This guy only wants ice cream.
34:24
Speaker 3: Well, it was.
34:25
Speaker 2: Yeah.
34:25
Speaker 3: We were like, what are you ordering? At like a
34:27
Speaker 3: high in restaurant.
34:27
Speaker 5: We're at a table of like sixteen people, and it
34:30
Speaker 5: goes around. Everybody orders, like we're at a Mexican restaurant, fajidas, caesadillas.
34:35
Speaker 5: Everybody's going around, people are ordering Appy's drinks, and he
34:39
Speaker 5: just goes, I'll get vanilla ice cream.
34:41
Speaker 6: And everybody's like, oh, okay.
34:42
Speaker 5: We're we're gonna order, We're gonna order our meals and
34:46
Speaker 5: then we'll order dessert.
34:47
Speaker 6: And he goes, I'm just gonna have ice cream tonight.

34:52
Speaker 6: Kyle wasn't.
34:53

36:19
Speaker 1: to Elmore Leonard novel Gene Hackman, Delroy lind To, etcetera.
36:22
Speaker 1: Trilli inside inside Hollywood movie satiric. So Hackman, he said,
36:27
Speaker 1: on one of the first days they're shooting, Travolta is
36:29
Speaker 1: late coming out of the set, and he goes, Jeane's
36:31
Speaker 1: the kind of guy that comes there like he is
36:33
Speaker 1: ready to rock. He's got his He's got not only
36:35
Speaker 1: his dialgue memorize or everyone else's dialg memorized. He's like
36:37
Speaker 1: he's a total pro. He goes, but you can just
36:39
Speaker 1: feel an anger, like he's not taking any bs. And
36:41
Speaker 1: Travolta shows up a little late and clearly does not
36:44
Speaker 1: have his lines memorized, and he goes, Travolta, I've never
36:46
Speaker 1: been anybody who loved being a movie star more than
36:48
Speaker 1: John Travolta. He goes like, he's just he's all about
36:51
Speaker 1: that life. He goes, now, doesn't mean he's a bad guy.
36:53
Speaker 1: He's very charming. He's a nice guy, but he's not
36:55
Speaker 1: prepared and he kind of fumbles his way through, and
36:57
Speaker 1: you know, we kind of get through it.
36:58
Speaker 2: So he said, Hackman's getting more and more pissed as
37:00
Speaker 2: we're doing take It and takeing. Chavrolta can't do it.
37:02
Speaker 1: And at one point Barry's wife comes or he always
37:05
Speaker 1: calls Sweetie, very endearing, and she comes over and she's
37:07
Speaker 1: in sweet He says to him, like, how good is
37:09
Speaker 1: Gene Hackley.
37:09
Speaker 2: He's going, I love Genacking. This guy's on blieve He's
37:11
Speaker 2: so great. He's like, it's like okay. They go back
37:13
Speaker 2: to to take and Hackman goes, are you fucking kidding me?
37:17
Speaker 2: And Barry's like what.
37:17
Speaker 1: He goes, you're gonna take advice from your wife? Like
37:20
Speaker 1: you're the worst fucking director I've ever seen in my life. Seething,
37:24
Speaker 1: Barry turns the ad and goes.
37:26
Speaker 2: Hey, when's lunch. He's like the three hours away? Maybe
37:30
Speaker 2: two always like we're doing lunch. We're calling lunch guys.
37:32
Speaker 2: That's it. That's a wrap. They're like, okay, he goes
37:34
Speaker 2: Gene I talked to. He's like, he goes Lean's in.
37:36
Speaker 1: He goes, hey, man, I get it, like you're mad
37:38
Speaker 1: at John because he's not a pro like you. But
37:41
Speaker 1: he doesn't mean he get to to mean my wife
37:43
Speaker 1: for the rest of this shoot. If you want to
37:45
Speaker 1: yell at me and take it on me, I'm totally
37:47
Speaker 1: fine with that because I totally get it, but that's
37:49
Speaker 1: not fair to criticize her.
37:51
Speaker 2: Hacken goes meet me my trailer in ten minutes.
37:53
Speaker 1: He's like, right, very good to sit in there, and
37:55
Speaker 1: he's like, listen, I was out of line, you know,
37:58
Speaker 1: because this job. He's like, I'm a real man's man,
38:00
Speaker 1: Like I'm just like a really masculine guy and I'm
38:02
Speaker 1: here and I can hate myself and I you know,
38:04
Speaker 1: I wear makeup for living.
38:05
Speaker 2: I played dress up.
38:06
Speaker 1: And he's like, that's really at odds with who I
38:07
Speaker 1: am as a person, but this is the life that
38:10
Speaker 1: I've chosen. So like, I'm always've always a lot of anger,
38:11
Speaker 1: you might have a lot of contempt.
38:12
Speaker 2: And Berry's like, okay, man I got like he's just
38:14
Speaker 2: listening to his therapy excess whatever exactly.
38:16
Speaker 3: That's the that's the softest guy excuse for being made.
38:20
Speaker 3: He's probably a little bit he's anyway.
38:23
Speaker 1: Eventually they get through it later on in the shooting
38:26
Speaker 1: and the problem is consistently going, but they're just getting
38:29
Speaker 1: through it.
38:29
Speaker 2: Eventually. There's a really important scene that he's gotta have
38:32
Speaker 2: Trolta set.
38:32
Speaker 1: So Barry tells Travolta because hey, John, because I'm giving
38:36
Speaker 1: you three days Friday, Saturday, Sunday, you gotta memorize this
38:38
Speaker 1: small like you gotta nail it. Okay, we're doing it
38:40
Speaker 1: Monday early. It's a lot of work, but you're gonna
38:42
Speaker 1: have to bring it okay. And John's like, yep, He's like,
38:43
Speaker 1: clear your schedule. It's like, you got it.
38:46
Speaker 2: He's like sure enough.
38:47
Speaker 1: He's like over the weekend is when he found out
38:50
Speaker 1: rape was the day ut that he got nominated for
38:51
Speaker 1: for Pulp Fiction.
38:52
Speaker 2: You got nominated for Best Actor Oscars. Travolta's back.
38:55
Speaker 1: So he goes that day sure enough. You know, he's
38:57
Speaker 1: literally asking about what tuxedo should I wear? What do
38:58
Speaker 1: you think of this outfit?
38:59
Speaker 2: Whatever?
39:00
Speaker 1: He's not focused, and when it's time to shoot the scene,
39:02
Speaker 1: the guys, he's not coming.
39:03
Speaker 2: Out of his trailer and he said, what's the issues?
39:05
Speaker 2: Like he doesn't he doesn't feel well. He's sick.
39:08
Speaker 1: And again, song Fu can feel Hackman glaring at you,
39:11
Speaker 1: because I'll take He goes to John and John's Berry's like,
39:13
Speaker 1: I just don't feel well.
39:14

39:19
Speaker 2: I told you. This is the scene. Like I can't.
39:20
Speaker 2: We're already of our budgets. This is how it goes.
39:22
Speaker 2: He's like, no, I just can't do it.
39:22
Speaker 1: And he's like, okay, you know what we can do
39:25
Speaker 1: is maybe we'll do some Q cards. I should travel
39:27
Speaker 1: to like kind of a movie snaps to attention. He's like, really,
39:29
Speaker 1: like if we have Q cards, like I might be
39:31
Speaker 1: able to get through it. He's like okay, So he's
39:33
Speaker 1: like we get Q cards made up, and Hackman is
39:35
Speaker 1: beyond furious now, like just justiss.
39:38
Speaker 2: He's screaming at Barry Sonefeld you ship director. This is
39:41

41:17
Speaker 3: But go ahead, yeah listen, I don't I'm talking. And

Speaker 1: Little rather rather than you reading the text. She's gonna

Speaker 1: come on right now, this is what we're doing. This
42:08
Speaker 1: is like I first take her something like, I wasn't
42:11

42:11
Speaker 2: I didn't think, oh.
42:12
Speaker 3: Yeah no, this is we're now. She's oh god, this

Speaker 1: We love your husband, We love the fact for doing
42:45
Speaker 1: this podcast, and I appreciate the fact that you're listening.
42:48
Speaker 1: And I butther you up by the apparently you have
42:50
Speaker 1: great contempt for my dismissive attitude towards Wicked.
42:53
Speaker 7: Please tell me it's so funny because now I took
42:56
Speaker 7: a screenshot of what I said, and now I feel
42:58
Speaker 7: like so bad because I'm like.
43:00
Speaker 2: This is so aggressive for what we're talking about. This
43:02
Speaker 2: is not that deep. But I had a opinions. It
43:05
Speaker 2: was like eleven PM that night.
43:06
Speaker 7: I'm like, listening to it.
43:08
Speaker 1: This is the vast majority of people would agree with you.
43:10
Speaker 1: The movies made six hundred million dollars. It's got critical praise,
43:13
Speaker 1: So go ahead, Black.
43:15
Speaker 2: My issue is not even that you don't like it.
43:16
Speaker 7: I actually love a strong opinion, and I specifically love
43:20
Speaker 7: when something's like loved by people and then it's like
43:22
Speaker 7: underwhelming to you, because that's kind of usually how I feel.
43:24
Speaker 7: Once everybody likes it, I'm like, well, I'm probably not
43:26
Speaker 7: I'm going to be like a little Yeah. This was
43:29
Speaker 7: my issue was you had said you had liked the
43:33
Speaker 7: stage production of Mulan Rouge.
43:35
Speaker 2: Fine lobbed it, took my wife falatine.
43:37
Speaker 7: It look okay great, But you said that and then
43:39
Speaker 7: go the songs in Wicked aren't that good. Mulan Rouge
43:44
Speaker 7: is a jukebox musical. It is bad romance and like
43:47
Speaker 7: Chandelier and Britney Spears songs being stung a song in
43:51
Speaker 7: a musical theater way, whereas Wicked is like original music.
43:55
Speaker 2: You can still not like it.
43:57
Speaker 7: It could still not be for you, but you cannot
43:59
Speaker 7: compare it. And that is my stance.
44:04
Speaker 2: It's a fair point. I still will not.
44:06
Speaker 1: I still don't think the music and Wicked is puicckarly
44:07
Speaker 1: strong the exception with the exception define gravity and popular
44:11
Speaker 1: is pretty catchy.
44:12
Speaker 2: But you are right, Willan Ruse is a remix of
44:14
Speaker 2: popular music.
44:15
Speaker 6: All that song. So to me, it's just it's two
44:18
Speaker 6: different it's.
44:19
Speaker 1: Too, two different genres than the musical genre. Yes, what
44:21
Speaker 1: if I tell you I love Jersey Boys, is that
44:23
Speaker 1: the same thing? Is that a jukebox musical?
44:24
Speaker 2: That is a jukebox musical?
44:25
Speaker 7: But I love do they do the story that's like
44:29
Speaker 7: a biopic type musical. So I'm into that.
44:31
Speaker 2: I do love when they do that.
44:33
Speaker 1: Well, I love the fact that you were this passion
44:35
Speaker 1: enough to hop on here. Listen, you have to come
44:37
Speaker 1: back now. Okay, you're you're an acclaimed actress.
44:39
Speaker 2: You're gonna come back.
44:39
Speaker 1: We're gonna do Oscar previews. We're gonna come back and
44:41
Speaker 1: do post Oscar show with us.
44:42
Speaker 7: Now.
44:43
Speaker 2: Is that good?
44:43
Speaker 6: Yeah?
44:43
Speaker 3: Anytime?
44:44
Speaker 2: Anytime.
44:45
Speaker 7: Okay, as a matter if your listeners actually give a shit, no, well,
44:48
Speaker 7: we're gonna.
44:49
Speaker 2: Get lots of Positi feedback before we go. Then what
44:51
Speaker 2: did you think of a Nora?
44:52
Speaker 1: Because it's my favorite film, one of my favorite films
44:53
Speaker 1: of the year, and Jason wasn't as crazy about it.
44:55
Speaker 7: I liked it too, I'm with I'm kind of with Jason,
44:58
Speaker 7: just because but this is again, this is my own stuff,
45:01
Speaker 7: where like I'm always sort of biased that I'm like,
45:04
Speaker 7: they always want like the young girls taking their clothes off,
45:06
Speaker 7: and so I was like, okay, and here we are
45:07
Speaker 7: again again again.
45:09
Speaker 3: But listen, it sells and.
45:11
Speaker 7: That's why people are captured by it. I totally get it.
45:15
Speaker 7: I do think everything always is a little long. I
45:18
Speaker 7: feel like the movie could be like ninety minutes and
45:19
Speaker 7: be like tight and really good.
45:21
Speaker 1: Okay, well thanks for having me guys, of course, Jillian Bulloch,
45:23

45:24
Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
45:25
Speaker 1: Next time, let's bring back in your husband here. That
45:28
Speaker 1: was quite the sneak attack, but I think it was enjoyable.
45:31
Speaker 3: My wife knows that I hide that jersey and only
45:34
Speaker 3: I get the full jersey wrap.
45:38
Speaker 2: Well, your point. She wanted to eviscerate me, but she's like,
45:40

46:11
Speaker 2: A couple of hockey items here before we close some
46:13
Speaker 2: shop show today.
46:15
Speaker 1: This has definitely been all over the place, But this
46:17
Speaker 1: is one that Bob Bennon was fired up about. No
46:21
Speaker 1: for the first time. It is forty three years providing
46:23
Speaker 1: play by playing for the Toronto Maple Leaves, legendary broadcaster
46:26
Speaker 1: Joe Bowen Holy mackinaw request a day off from works
46:29
Speaker 1: he can watch his beloved Notre Dame Fighting Irish played
46:31
Speaker 1: the Ohio State University College Football National Championship.
46:34
Speaker 2: We all know the Irish loss by the way, thirty
46:35
Speaker 2: four to twenty three. But the question is, do you
46:38
Speaker 2: think Joe Bowen's a slacker?
46:41
Speaker 1: Now?
46:41
Speaker 2: Why first one missed?
46:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, this isn't a Chinese sweatshop here, Like, he can
46:48
Speaker 3: take a day off if he wants.
46:50
Speaker 1: I think he's done more than enough for the game
46:52
Speaker 1: of hockey and the Ape Lave specifically. And I and
46:54
Speaker 1: I know Joe a little bit. I worked for MLSD
46:56
Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine.
46:56
Speaker 2: Very nice man.
46:57
Speaker 1: If you told me what do you know about Joe
46:58
Speaker 1: Bonen'm like, he loves Notre Dame. That's why the first
47:00
Speaker 1: thing I told him, Like, dude, he's he is a
47:02
Speaker 1: giganta Nore Dame fan.
47:03
Speaker 2: It's legit his thing.
47:04
Speaker 3: Fine, all good, I'll tell you. I'll tell you this
47:07
Speaker 3: having worked on this side of the fence now and
47:09
Speaker 3: being in media and you know, on the road with
47:12
Speaker 3: the TV crew at NBC with Randy Handrewman, and I
47:15
Speaker 3: work with Dan Rusanowski pretty closely.
47:17
Speaker 2: Nice.
47:17
Speaker 3: These guys do so much work and are so on
47:21
Speaker 3: top of it day in and day out, supporting the team,
47:24
Speaker 3: being ambassad of the team. I was sitting on the
47:26
Speaker 3: plane with Dan Rosenowski and after every game he has
47:29
Speaker 3: a couple of glass of wine and he'll usually fall
47:32
Speaker 3: asleep right on his computer as he's chopping up the shows.
47:35
Speaker 3: He's the best, but he'll turn and start telling me
47:37
Speaker 3: stories and he literally, like one of the first times
47:40
Speaker 3: we're on the trip together, he always look at me
47:41
Speaker 3: because he's in the Hall of Fame, and he goes,
47:44
Speaker 3: he always goes, stick with me, kid, and then he
47:48
Speaker 3: and then he goes, he's one of the I love
47:51
Speaker 3: going to dinner with him, chopping it up. He gives
47:53
Speaker 3: me like all these eighties references. Yeah, and he turns
47:56
Speaker 3: to me and he goes, you know, I've only missed
47:57
Speaker 3: six games in my career. I think it was like
48:00
Speaker 3: it might be even less than that, And because I
48:03
Speaker 3: was like, oh yeah, really like and he's been working
48:06
Speaker 3: since the Shark's inception, so since however, long ago, every
48:09
Speaker 3: single game, and I said, oh, what made you miss?
48:12
Speaker 3: He's like, I got hit in the car. I got
48:14
Speaker 3: hit not hitting the car. I got hit by a
48:16
Speaker 3: car and I was in the and I was in
48:18
Speaker 3: the er and he's like, oh, my wife the game.
48:20
Speaker 2: I was like, Jesus Christ, Dad, and I still would
48:23
Speaker 2: have done the game. I was like, I would have done.
48:25
Speaker 3: He's like I was trying to get there. I was like,
48:26
Speaker 3: just an absolute warrior something. These guys deserve a day
48:29
Speaker 3: off if they want, but these are such like coveted
48:32
Speaker 3: jobs that you wouldn't even realize how coveted they are
48:35
Speaker 3: that when you get it, you were like, I am
48:37
Speaker 3: not leaving. I am here, I am working. These guys
48:40
Speaker 3: work so hard.
48:41
Speaker 2: This is the last story we're going to do.
48:43
Speaker 1: In the first game following me with David's suspension, the
48:45
Speaker 1: Older scored a bizarre goal against the Caps Tuesday, like
48:47
Speaker 1: Corey Perry skated past to play the nachos that had
48:50
Speaker 1: been hurled on the ice, pass washing a gullie Logan
48:52
Speaker 1: Thompson immediately protest to climbing, he was distracted with a
48:54
Speaker 1: discarded snack logan. Afford said, listen, you know you'll check
48:58
Speaker 1: the rules and something's throwing there. The Rep's supposed to
48:59
Speaker 1: wait the bees.
49:00
Speaker 2: It's my fault. I gotta play through the whistle. They didn't,
49:02
Speaker 2: they didn't see it. Whatever, it's on me. Correct to them.
49:04
Speaker 1: But yeah, was I distracted? Obviously there's nachos. You played
49:07
Speaker 1: a long time. The NHL said, games, what's the weirdest
49:10
Speaker 1: distraction you ever encountered during a game? And I'm not
49:12
Speaker 1: counting a woman flashing gave him monreal.
49:15
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, I was gonna say tits, but no, no,
49:19
Speaker 3: I never did, never have.
49:21
Speaker 2: Told that story. He goes, they have girls the big
49:23
Speaker 2: knockers and.
49:24
Speaker 3: Not chill problem. Uh what happened? I I mean the
49:29
Speaker 3: funny I could just say the funniest thing I've seen
49:30
Speaker 3: throw on the ice is I had this coach in
49:33
Speaker 3: my my first year in the miners up, David cut
49:37
Speaker 3: David Kunneth, awesome guy from mass and thick accent, just
49:43
Speaker 3: an amazing no yeah but like his like father was
49:48
Speaker 3: like friends with Whitey Balger and stuff like this guy's
49:50
Speaker 3: got oh yeah, like he's like, he's a tough son
49:54
Speaker 3: of a bitch. Like he's I've once seen him punch
49:56
Speaker 3: a coffee pot with his hand, break his hand. He
49:59
Speaker 3: beat up like a projector because it wasn't showing the
50:02
Speaker 3: clips right. But he'd be on the ice and he
50:04
Speaker 3: would literally throw like if we needed a time out
50:07
Speaker 3: and we'd already burned it, he'd throw like he'd throw
50:09
Speaker 3: like pennies on the ice and like change and I'm like, ah,
50:12
Speaker 3: this change on the I'm like.
50:15
Speaker 2: You're gonna kill somebody with this.
50:17
Speaker 3: Somebody's gonna step on it, break their ankle on He'd
50:20
Speaker 3: hockey just to get the time out. So like, that's
50:22
Speaker 3: the biggest abstraction. That was probably my coach, but coach
50:25
Speaker 3: kind of that's unbelievable. At Coyotes, a lot of the
50:28
Speaker 3: games were distracted by the lack of fans distractions. It's
50:34
Speaker 3: a dressed like a seat night some nights, and that
50:37
Speaker 3: was not on the fans. That's on ownership.
50:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. This was a lot of fun
50:42
Speaker 2: here on Unscripted episode eight.
