- 4:26like hey buddy i'm like you're about to get swung
- 4:29on do they mean it like disrespectfully though
- 4:32because i feel like that whenever i've been called
- 4:34buddy by someone at a liquor store convenience
- 4:37store or something there it always seems like
- 4:39it's got a jovial tune to it Do not get the jovial
- 4:44tone It's like hey buddy, I need this thing and
- 4:49it's just like It really just grinds my gears,
- 4:55I don't know why but it's like it's like Damn
- 5:01near fighting words for like a stranger, you
- 5:04know that Dinged your car like opening his car
- 5:08into yours. You know what? I mean like hey, buddy
- 5:13Damned near like fighting words like ever open
- 5:16a door before Well, yeah, so let's just how are
- 5:25you will I'm okay My wife's surgery was last
- 5:31week or two weeks ago I don't know all the days
- 5:33starting to run together But my mother is in
- 5:35town helping me take care of her while I go to
- 5:37work. And so that's been really cool Feel really
- 5:42fortunate that uh, I'm in that situation that
- 5:45she can do that for me. So Trying to focus on
- 5:49the positive except for the negatives but Let's
- 5:53get into things that people come to the podcast
- 5:56for are millions and millions of listeners What
- 6:02they come here for? So, I don't know. How do
- 6:06we want to start? Do we want to start like chronologically
- 6:08or do we want to just start with the big thing
- 6:10that happened today? Let's go with the big. Okay.
- 6:16So hopefully we're thinking of the same thing,
- 6:19but John Morant was traded today. And that's
- 6:22not now. What was the big thing? LeBron's parting
- 6:27ways with the Lakers. Some would say bigger.
- 6:32I was like jog. I traded like two days ago. That
- 6:35two days ago. Maybe it was like announced today.
- 6:37I think it was like yesterday or something. Okay.
- 6:41Yeah, no, LeBron is the biggest news. John Moran
- 6:46trait like this. Sorry. Well, that's fine. It's
- 6:49all right. Yes, LeBron James will no longer be
- 6:55a Los Angeles Laker. So. Where is he going to
- 7:00go? What team can use a 48 year old man? I mean,
- 7:05the word on the street is he's going to Golden
- 7:08State. Oh, right. I did hear something about
- 7:10that. Yeah, that's like the rumor. And then,
- 7:13um, I mean, this is no like concrete evidence,
- 7:16but the war I saw the warriors a couple of days
- 7:19ago were plus like 8 ,000 to win the title next
- 7:22season. Um, I've gone to various books and today
- 7:26they were like plus 2 ,800. So I wanted to go
- 7:31to like the wizards or something. Yeah. Reunite
- 7:34with Anthony Davis. Yeah. Yeah. Like the magic
- 7:38or like just some bum fucking team that. Has
- 7:40it done shit? I mean, that's not gonna, but,
- 7:46um, I did see, um, somebody like, I think it
- 7:50was when horse or someone was like, yeah, LeBron's
- 7:52decision will be, will not be money motivated.
- 7:55It'll just be wherever makes them the happiest.
- 7:57I was like, yeah, I think he's made like a billion,
- 8:01like not even exaggeration, a billion dollars.
- 8:03I think you're like, he could play for free.
- 8:06Yeah. A lot of people say like, Oh, no LeBron
- 8:09income. No, LeBron. Man, I mean, how far is Golden
- 8:19State? Are they in Oakland or are they in San
- 8:21Francisco now? They moved across the Bay, so
- 8:23I think they are in San Francisco now. How far
- 8:26away is San Francisco from LA? It's like a plane
- 8:30ride. Like you gotta take a plane to get up there,
- 8:33like quickly. Otherwise, it's like six or eight
- 8:37hours. I think you can swing it. He can hop on
- 8:41the PJ But I did see like the well another part
- 8:49of the rumor is that Golden State wants to reunite
- 8:52AD and LeBron I'm just like fucking And like
- 9:00I saw something that like the Wizards don't want
- 9:02to trade AD Well, he ain't playing for him I
- 9:06he's made that pretty well known I don't really
- 9:10know what, yeah, he's pretty much said like,
- 9:13like, whenever he's asked about it, he's like,
- 9:16yes, I, I am employed by the Washington Wizards.
- 9:20He's never like been like, yeah, excited to suit
- 9:22up. He just like, yes, I'm currently signed with
- 9:27this organization. Why would anybody want this
- 9:34guy? Right. what am I taking crazy filters he
- 9:39doesn't do anything he gets hurt all the time
- 9:41and like i mean let's say it is the warriors
- 9:45like what does this do like i know lebron is
- 9:50still very good i'm not like disputing that but
- 9:53like that is he is him he is 41 years old like
- 9:59is he really gonna be the next piece that gets
- 10:01stef then like he gets him and stef another ring
- 10:04like they're both on the back end of their careers.
- 10:08Like, is this going to do anything other than
- 10:10sell tickets? They're going to try. I mean, that's
- 10:15just how it is. Yeah. I mean, good for them if
- 10:22it is them, but I don't really, I just don't
- 10:25know where else he would go. Don't make it happen.
- 10:30You know, like. Somehow, someway. They'll be
- 10:34good, but like, I just don't, how does that team
- 10:37beat Oklahoma City? Right. Or San Antonio or
- 10:42like any of these like really young, hell, maybe
- 10:45even like Minnesota. Any of these young teams
- 10:48that can, that are also just very good. Yeah.
- 10:54And I mean, I don't know. I feel like it's worth
- 10:57a shot. I mean, yeah, if LeBron says I want to
- 11:01come play for you, you typically don't say no.
- 11:04So I'm not saying they shouldn't. I'm just saying
- 11:07like, I don't. Yes, sir. I think there'll be
- 11:11maybe instead of what it like, they make the
- 11:13playoffs this season or they make the play in
- 11:15tournament. I don't know. I couldn't tell you.
- 11:18Um, it's like, okay, so maybe they're like a
- 11:21seven seed or six seed in the West now. Cool.
- 11:26Right. still a lot of basketball. I don't know.
- 11:33It's I don't know. It's really weird. Like, it
- 11:37would be cool if he went to like a very small
- 11:39market team. That'd be and like regardless of
- 11:44how it like works out. It would I think it would
- 11:49add I hate to say it like this, but it would
- 11:53add to his legacy like, like Going to a small
- 11:57market team to help them out and like sell tickets
- 12:00and shit and like make them relevant like that's
- 12:03like kind of a really cool thing to do like just
- 12:06to I mean I guess make a comparison is like when
- 12:09Wayne Gretzky was like I want to be he's like
- 12:12I'm gonna be they're gonna trade me but they're
- 12:13letting me choose where to go and when when he
- 12:16was with the Oilers and they will and he was
- 12:19like I Go to Detroit. Yeah, I'll go to Detroit
- 12:22and it's like well he's talking to his dad and
- 12:25he's like son, you if you go to Detroit, like
- 12:29there's nine Hall of Famers on that team already,
- 12:31they're already, they're already a big market
- 12:33team, like, to grow the game, like, you really
- 12:38got to go to these smaller markets. And he was
- 12:40like, Okay, and then he went to LA. And like,
- 12:42now that that made them relevant, they like made
- 12:45that they made the cup final, I believe, one
- 12:48year. And so like, they're, I mean, this was
- 12:53like way back when obviously, and you know if
- 12:56if wayne didn't go to to la then like maybe la
- 13:00doesn't exist you know i mean the the la kings
- 13:03and so not not the city but you know what i mean
- 13:07um and so like when you of course you got to
- 13:12think about it a little bit but when you when
- 13:14you break it down it's like that could add to
- 13:16his legacy you know and i'm like you know i'm
- 13:18not a big lebron guy i'm not even a big basketball
- 13:21guy but it's like at the end of the day it's
- 13:22like dude you gotta You got to look at the game
- 13:27in like a 4D kind of way here, not just like,
- 13:33hey, I'm going to go here because it'll make
- 13:35me money. No, it's like, well, sure, the NBA
- 13:38makes the most money out of all the sports leagues,
- 13:41but if you go to the Pistons, I mean, I guess
- 13:44the Pistons made the playoffs. If you go to Memphis,
- 13:50you're not going to get any help, but they're
- 13:53going to sell a hell of amount of tickets and
- 13:56like it's going to be great and then like people
- 13:58will actually pay attention to Memphis and uh
- 14:01you know it'd also be cool but I don't know that's
- 14:05my that's my take on it he ain't going to Memphis
- 14:10I know yeah why would he yeah well no John Morant
- 14:16they need a they need a guy the next superstar
- 14:20big trade yeah yeah I did. I guess the other
- 14:25day, some say, Tom, we're saying, I did actually
- 14:29look at that trade and I was like, what? Seriously?
- 14:35Did, do you guys know what, uh, what John Moran
- 14:36was traded for? Um, it wasn't a lot. I mean,
- 14:42I, I saw some, I don't know if it happened. I
- 14:46don't have the deal in front of me. Remember
- 14:48off the top of my head, but I saw some reports
- 14:50that teams were going to require is like, okay,
- 14:53we want job or if you send us job, you're also
- 14:56going to send us draft picks with it. Hmm. Interesting.
- 15:01I don't think that ended up happening, but yeah,
- 15:03he was not traded. I mean, he was not traded
- 15:05for very much. Shared for Jeremy Grant and Chris
- 15:08Murray. And I mean, Jeremy Grant, he's fine.
- 15:13Yeah. I don't even know who Chris Murray is.
- 15:18And it's like, Mean, I guess Memphis is doing
- 15:21a rebuild again and like So I don't pay attention
- 15:26to basketball, but I am team Tennessee and so
- 15:29it's like I don't know. What are we doing here?
- 15:32It feels like Feels like we had jaw And like
- 15:37he was our ears our cornerstone, you know, we
- 15:40drafted him he was great and Then like we traded
- 15:43Jaren and now we just trade a jaw and it's like
- 15:45now we got nobody now. We have Zach Edie Fuck,
- 15:49don't talk about that. I think it's good for
- 15:55Ja, though. I think even if they weren't rebuilding,
- 15:58I think both these two parties, the Grizzlies
- 16:02and Ja needed to part ways. Ja needs a fresh
- 16:05start because his fall from grace has been astronomical,
- 16:11especially considering the fact that he didn't
- 16:13really do anything wrong. Um, he was just kind
- 16:17of like annoying, I guess you could say. Little
- 16:21stupid. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, don't get me wrong.
- 16:23He's not, not smart, but he's not like there
- 16:27are people in the league who are committing crimes
- 16:30and they're like, not like super popular, but
- 16:35they're not like hated on constantly. So I mean,
- 16:39I think he needs her. I'm still rooting for the
- 16:41guy. Um, I think, I think Portland has a lot
- 16:45stricter gun laws than Memphis, so maybe that's
- 16:46good for him. So we'll see. But yeah, it was
- 16:50surprising to see that he went to Portland of
- 16:52all places, but I mean, I guess it kind of makes
- 16:55sense, but good for, good for John. I'm rooting
- 16:58for him. Yeah, I'm also rooting for him. Did
- 17:03anyone kind of chuckle at the fact that he went
- 17:06from like the most dangerous city in America
- 17:09to Portland? When I first saw that, I was like,
- 17:18yeah, he needed a change of scenery. Portland
- 17:21can be dangerous with all these Antifa people.
- 17:28Different kind of danger. It's just like, I mean,
- 17:34I don't know. I was just like, yeah, that seems
- 17:38about right. Let's get him a change of scenery.
- 17:41he's getting sent to boarding school that's what
- 17:45it feels like they're gonna straighten you out
- 17:49in portland scared straight portland um but yeah
- 17:58it's i believe we chatted about this one time
- 18:03when he was doing his stupid things and i said
- 18:06you might play in memphis but you don't have
- 18:09to act like you are from memphis i thought that
- 18:13was funny he went to private school right so
- 18:19he went to murray state in kentucky yeah where
- 18:25nobody lives nobody lives there didn't get in
- 18:32trouble with guns neither um but all right crazy
- 18:37Then Kawhi Leonard was traded back to the Raptors
- 18:40or he was traded to the Raptors now he's back
- 18:42with the Raptors Got kind of a big haul He was
- 18:47traded for Brandon Ingram Grady dick two first
- 18:52rounders a pick swap and two second rounders
- 18:57That's kind of a lot and I'm not I mean, I'm
- 19:01not gonna pretend that I follow the NBA quite
- 19:03closely but do believe that Kawhi Leonard has
- 19:07not been playing a lot of basketball at the past
- 19:10few years, so not really sure What's what's what's
- 19:16going on there? But also I know that the Clippers
- 19:20were dogshit mainly because he didn't play and
- 19:24They they don't have any draft picks because
- 19:27they they traded them To get all these other
- 19:31players Yeah, they're all in all George. Jesus
- 19:37Christ. Thanks a lot. It's, it's all the Clippers
- 19:40fault. It is. It is all the Clippers fault. So
- 19:44that was interesting. That happened today, I
- 19:47think, or was almost, I don't know. Yeah, since
- 19:53when he had his really bad year in 2017, when
- 19:58he played nine games, he has started He started
- 20:0274, 72, pretty good. 64, 66, 58, 64. So more
- 20:07than I thought he'd be starting, but still like
- 20:10not, I guess that's pretty standard for stars
- 20:15in the NBA today. Like 65 to like 75 games, which
- 20:19is ridiculous, but yeah. So it's playing more
- 20:23than I thought. I mean, he's pretty solid when
- 20:24he does play, but yeah, it's two first rounders
- 20:26for a guy who's, I mean, kind of also on the
- 20:31back end of his career. I'm not saying he's like
- 20:33almost done, but like he's his peak was the last
- 20:36go around in Toronto. I just don't NBA you trade
- 20:41draft picks like they're fucking nothing. So
- 20:44don't matter baby f them picks. But all right,
- 20:50I don't really have anything else on the NBA.
- 20:54Am I missing something? Am I forgetting something?
- 20:57I don't know. It's all the big stuff. I can't
- 21:01really think of any Any other ones? Okay, then
- 21:05let's move on so last week was the the NHL entry
- 21:11draft and That's for predators we picked Wyatt
- 21:17Cullen a tenth overall and I was listening to
- 21:20it on the radio because I was on the way to somewhere
- 21:23and Watched the first like five picks at home
- 21:28before I left and I was like, I don't know who
- 21:32I want us to pick because they had us picking
- 21:35like a couple of different people and so I really
- 21:38wasn't too sure on where I wanted them to go
- 21:40versus where they will go and I'm listening to
- 21:44the radio and I'm hearing the I'm hearing Willie
- 21:47and and Chris Mason and they're like, hey yo
- 21:53If if Wyatt Cullen is available we get him. I
- 21:57know that Chase Reed fell like to Seattle at
- 22:02like eight eight or nine or Seven I don't know.
- 22:06So it was it was a possibility that we would
- 22:09get quite possibly the best defenseman in the
- 22:11draft, which would have been cool, but we We
- 22:17have way too many good defensemen in the pipeline
- 22:20right now. And so I was like, we have to draft
- 22:22forward. And so we ended up picking Wyatt Cullen,
- 22:26son of Matt Cullen, Pred's legend. Not really
- 22:30a legend, he played for us for two years. Legend.
- 22:34Legend. And kind of a role player, but still,
- 22:39I mean, super long career. I think he played
- 22:41like 1200 games, which is crazy. He's a champion.
- 22:45Yeah. Three times stay on the cup. Three time.
- 22:49Yeah. Um, but, uh, but yeah, that was really
- 22:52exciting. Uh, apparently this kid has like the
- 22:55highest ceiling of, of everyone because when
- 22:58we drafted him, he was 17 and like, if he was
- 23:01born a week later, then he would have been in
- 23:05the next draft class and he would have been like
- 23:07a top five pick. And so everything I'm reading
- 23:11on this guy, I'm like, this guy's potential.
- 23:13is massive. And he's essentially going into his
- 23:16senior year of high school, which is crazy. And
- 23:23so he's doing one more year of the national team
- 23:28development program up in Michigan, and then
- 23:31he is he's already committed to playing at a
- 23:33University of Minnesota. And so that's where
- 23:37he'll be for a little bit. So it'll take him
- 23:40some time to cook. But I'm thinking this guy
- 23:44could be really awesome for us in like, I don't
- 23:47know, three years. Who's to say? But yeah, that
- 23:52happened. And then we traded up from the second
- 23:58round up into the first round again. We got picked
- 24:0030, 31, something like that. Yeah. And we picked
- 24:04up Thomas Blyle. Blyle. And apparently, this
- 24:10guy was a fucking steal, is what I'm reading.
- 24:15Like, oh no, am I frozen? Am I frozen? Yeah,
- 24:23you froze for a little bit. You were for a little
- 24:25bit, you're good now. Let's start with like,
- 24:30Blyle. Like, we picked up Blyle. And then what
- 24:33did you say after that? We picked up Tommy Blyle,
- 24:35and... Seems like this guy was the steal of the
- 24:39draft Apparently like a lot of people had him
- 24:43going like around like the 15 area and so us
- 24:47getting him at 31 is Which was pretty cool. Apparently
- 24:51he just fell and so apparently he has a pretty
- 24:53high ceiling, too I think he's going to Michigan
- 24:57State or Michigan next year but That's alright
- 25:03He'll go and he'll do well Actually, I think
- 25:06it's Michigan State and Yeah, it's really exciting
- 25:11we didn't really do We didn't have too many draft
- 25:15picks after that I know we I mean we traded two
- 25:18seconds to go up back into the first round And
- 25:22so we didn't have any seconds. I think we had
- 25:23a third and a fifth and a sixth and seventh,
- 25:26but I don't know those people They didn't have
- 25:29really cool names. So I didn't bother to know
- 25:32them but But yeah, so that happened and then
- 25:36we traded Again, we traded for Niles hog lander.
- 25:41I don't know if you guys are familiar But apparently
- 25:46like this guy was Supposed to be pretty good.
- 25:50He had a really bad injury last year. And so
- 25:52he was sidelined but Like I was looking at on
- 25:57Twitter today And I saw a bunch of like fake,
- 26:00or kind of like mock ups of a lineup. And it's
- 26:03like, our third line is like completely new.
- 26:07Like it's like, a jury, Ross Colton, and, and
- 26:13hog lander. And I'm like, this third line might
- 26:16be, this might be the best third line in hockey.
- 26:21Just throwing that I went out there. Just because
- 26:25like it feels like each of those players is destined
- 26:28for that role Not so much. These are like first
- 26:33or second line players playing on the third line
- 26:35It's like these are these guys are like this
- 26:36is a perfect fit for where they play They're
- 26:39all like two -way forwards. They all there are
- 26:41both penalty killers. And so that's really exciting
- 26:44No idea what the fourth line is going to be like
- 26:47I know that With us trading for those three players.
- 26:51We're probably not gonna resign Eric Hala which
- 26:54is fine. I'm not mad at that. He's 35. So hey,
- 26:59what are you gonna do? This new GM we got he's
- 27:04a feels like he's kind of putting his nuts on
- 27:06the table. I don't know. I've been talking for
- 27:08a really long time. But do you guys have any
- 27:11thoughts? Just with those like trades and stuff
- 27:16like they essentially replaced Jost, Holla. and
- 27:23LeHue with Ross Colton, Jack Durie, and Hoglander.
- 27:30And that's a fucking easy ass upgrade, like just
- 27:34already. So I'm honestly not mad at it at all.
- 27:41So I kind of like the spunk he's been putting
- 27:44out with the draft and all the trades that he's
- 27:48made so far. But yeah. I'm digging it so far.
- 27:53Will we be good? I don't know. Who knows? Who's
- 27:57to say? I can't wait to say cranking my hog whenever
- 28:01hog lander scores this season. Oh, that's going
- 28:06to send me. That's going to send me Chris. Every
- 28:09time. Oh man. Hopefully it's 50 times. Whenever
- 28:16I go to a Preds game, I think I'm going to bet
- 28:18hog lander. Just goal scored just cuz just cuz
- 28:24I want to crank hog cranking my motherfucking
- 28:28hog Was I know we did we didn't really talk about
- 28:35it in the game of the group chat We really want
- 28:37to just be talking soccer. But uh, I don't I
- 28:40I probably should have asked Josh what he thinks
- 28:43because he's a Vancouver fan I don't know what
- 28:45he thinks but Mike get his input on that later.
- 28:49I don't know. See you Or unless Chris is doing
- 28:51it right now. I was trying to go back to the
- 28:54chat to see if he said, I remember he sent the
- 28:56tweet, but I can't remember if he had like a
- 28:57comment about it or not. Um, call him and put
- 29:00him on air. He's probably doing things with his
- 29:03child. Fair. Where's his bedtime? It's eight
- 29:13o 'clock. It's his bedtime. Yeah. That's bedtime
- 29:17for a three year old. Yeah. No, I mean, he's
- 29:22putting him to bed right now is what I mean.
- 29:25Like he's in the act of putting him to bed. Yeah,
- 29:27I'm sure he would love. Hey, what do you think
- 29:28about trading? Hey, you're live on your live
- 29:33on three for the money, which tag on Niels Haaglander
- 29:37leaving. What are you calling me about? You're
- 29:42in the background. Well, clearly he's upset about
- 29:47it. So you must be a good player. That's funny.
- 29:52Um, but yeah. And so it's, um, it, it feels,
- 29:56it feels good, but also feels like a lot of,
- 29:59a lot of change, which sometimes is good. I think
- 30:04it's very good for where we are at right now.
- 30:07Like something has to happen, either get really
- 30:10good or tank. We can't just be piddling around
- 30:13the middle forever. I am excited for tomorrow.
- 30:17to see what comes of that. There's really not
- 30:23too many free agents that are good. Yeah, I saw
- 30:27the best free agent is Boon Jenner. I believe
- 30:34that was a list for free agent centers. Oh, was
- 30:39that centers? Okay. I believe so. I was like,
- 30:43because Holo was like third. And I was like,
- 30:48this is a very short list of free agency. Boon
- 30:53Jenner is number one. Yeah. See if I can find
- 30:58a fucking list here. But still, like, Boon Jenner
- 31:02being, like, the best center available is still
- 31:06kind of like... I mean, would I take Boon Jenner
- 31:12on the Preds? Yeah, why not? But he's not, he's
- 31:16like, Hey, we got to go out there. We got to
- 31:18get Boone Jenner this off season. Priority number
- 31:21one. I'll just sign him tomorrow. I mean, I wouldn't
- 31:25be mad about it, but it's not like, yeah, he's
- 31:28like your, your white whale of the off season.
- 31:33The pool ain't very deep. No offense to Boone.
- 31:38Yeah, I'll do respect. He'll either come here
- 31:40or he'll go to like Chicago or somewhere. He'll
- 31:43either come here and suck or go to a rival and
- 31:45be amazing. Now that we're talking shit. Right.
- 31:50But there are some notable, the top five free
- 31:54agent wingers. Alex Ovechkin. Could happen. Let's
- 32:02just get him. I'd almost feel bad. I fucking
- 32:07love it. I mean, it would be awesome. You got
- 32:10me wrong, but I was like. Part of me be like,
- 32:12no, he it'd be like, Oh yeah, Alex, I've actually
- 32:15greatest capital ever. One of the greatest hockey
- 32:17players ever. And he played in Nashville for
- 32:19a season before he retired. It would just be
- 32:21like shit with the Titans all over again. I'd
- 32:24have a reason to buy an Ovi Jersey. Oh, you'd
- 32:26be wrong. It'd be sick. It's it'd make a lot
- 32:28of money in merchandise, but I'd buy the Jersey
- 32:31after, after the dust settle. It also would be
- 32:35funny to stick it to our caps. Yeah, you couldn't
- 32:39really stick it to him though. But some other
- 32:43wingers are Mason Marchment, Matt Zuccarello,
- 32:47Patrick Kane, and Anthony Mantha. How old is
- 32:54Patrick Kane? I was gonna say, is he still good?
- 32:58I think he... He was pretty good in Detroit last
- 33:00year. Yeah, he was pretty fucking good in Detroit.
- 33:04I think he had like 80 points or like 80, 90...
- 33:0889 points or something shit in Detroit last year
- 33:13Showtime yeah Could be cool won't happen And
- 33:23then a defenseman Which I don't know we have
- 33:27like we're like 17 million dollars in cap space
- 33:31I looked at that today and so I'm kind of spinning
- 33:34my wheels here seeing what what he's gonna do
- 33:38But the the top five free agent defensemen are
- 33:41John Carlson Rasmus Anderson Jacob Truba Mario
- 33:44Ferraro and Ryan Shea and I Don't know any of
- 33:51these guys right -handed We've got too many too
- 33:54many left -handed We got too many of those guys
- 33:58we have nobody on the right side So weird John
- 34:03Carlson's right -handed And I think so is Rasmus
- 34:05Anderson, but we're not going to sign them there.
- 34:07They probably won't wait too much money. John
- 34:09Carlson would be fucking sick though. That would
- 34:12be sick. That'd be crazy if that happened. We'd
- 34:15probably have to get rid of, uh, Marcia. So I
- 34:20just want to be here anyways. Exactly. Get rid
- 34:24of Shay too, while we're at it. Like if we're,
- 34:28if we're getting, if we're signing just hypothetically,
- 34:31of course, uh, If you're getting John Carlson,
- 34:35just let Brady shake it. Like... Well, it's hard
- 34:40to... Well, you can't just let him walk, but...
- 34:42Yeah. Especially since we're paying him a lot
- 34:45of money. We're just talking. And he's got a...
- 34:51He actually has a no -move clause, so... He cannot
- 34:55be moved. What the fuck? Yes, Barry handed that
- 34:59one out. Did we give him that? Yeah. Barry thought
- 35:02it was a good idea. So I guess thanks Whatever
- 35:12I Mean she's okay, I guess he's not really flashy,
- 35:18but I do think we're paying him quite quite a
- 35:20lot for what he is providing But yeah tomorrow
- 35:24should be interesting Probably some some trades
- 35:29will happen as well there's been a lot of trades
- 35:33actually in the nhl let me see if i can find
- 35:36a list um i know that all right so i got the
- 35:40list of all the trades that have happened since
- 35:42the last time we met um obviously we left off
- 35:45i believe we talked about brady kachug being
- 35:48traded to florida um we did talk about that um
- 35:53i i'm not looking forward to playing florida
- 35:55but i will be looking forward to florida playing
- 35:59everyone else um anyway So after that before
- 36:03the draft The Washington Capitals traded for
- 36:08Jordan Cairo With st. Louis for Connor McMichael
- 36:14Connor McDavid's evil twin Milton gastrin in
- 36:18the 16th overall pick so that's um It's kind
- 36:23of a high price for Jordan Cairo, but hey, you
- 36:26know, whatever What are you guys laughing about?
- 36:30The evil twin thing. The evil twin comment. That
- 36:32was good. Have you guys never heard that? No.
- 36:36I'm sure you've said it before, but it's funny.
- 36:42I really, that makes me really want there to
- 36:45eventually, while Conor McConnor is still in
- 36:47the league, there to like be an up and coming
- 36:49prospect named David McConnor. That won't happen
- 36:54because I don't think anyone has that last name
- 36:56McConnor, but. That would be very funny and I
- 37:01am evil Anyway and then like right before the
- 37:22draft Chicago had the fourth overall pick and
- 37:25they traded it to Buffalo and another pick to
- 37:28get Bowen Byram and Jordan Greenway. This one
- 37:33kind of has my brain in a pretzel a little bit
- 37:36because I don't I mean Bowen Byram is good. I
- 37:41don't think he's fourth overall good but he was
- 37:44also drafted fourth overall when he was drafted
- 37:47by Colorado and so To me, I'm like, I don't know.
- 37:52It feels like maybe rolling the dice on a fourth
- 37:55overall pick could work out a little bit better
- 37:57than Bowen Byrum. But he is a good player, but
- 38:01I don't, I don't know. I don't know how much
- 38:06closer this is going to make them to being good.
- 38:09But it could also be a thing where, hey, we need
- 38:12to start like making an effort to trying to like
- 38:14win games now, so we can keep Connor Bredard.
- 38:18And I was like, All right. I heard that take
- 38:20and I was like, that actually makes a lot of
- 38:22sense. So that's probably why they did it. But
- 38:24I feel like that's kind of a steep price. In
- 38:30the past week, we traded for Jack Jury. Yeah,
- 38:35that happened six days ago for LaRue and Svetchkov.
- 38:40And so I don't know, it feels like it feels like
- 38:45We let goes fetch cough a little too early, but
- 38:48also It was kind of getting to the point where
- 38:52this guy needed to shit or get off the pot On
- 38:55is if this guy's actually gonna be good or not
- 38:57same thing with the with Zach LaRue like he was
- 39:01a little wrecking ball out there, but like I
- 39:06Mean we drafted him in the first round a couple
- 39:07years ago, and I'm like hey, man. We got a You're
- 39:11your first round talent. You got to do a little
- 39:12bit better than the fourth line. And so that
- 39:15never happened and which so we traded them both
- 39:18and we got Jack Drury and I Don't think it's
- 39:24too bad. I don't know. I don't think it's bad
- 39:25at all. Really. It's just It's just weird because
- 39:29like when you watch the draft and you watch the
- 39:32players get drafted, it's It feels like you're
- 39:36there with them during their experience and like
- 39:39especially when it's your team It's like how
- 39:41do you I want this guy to be good. I need this
- 39:43guy to be good. And so trading him away Made
- 39:47me say it but Who's to say who cares? It's all
- 39:53make -believe anyway Anyway The Capitals traded
- 39:59a third -round pick to get Alex tuck from Buffalo
- 40:03and then fucking paid Alex Tuck. He's now making
- 40:08yearly $10 .5 million, which is a lot, I think.
- 40:17I think this guy's like 32. I don't know. I could
- 40:21probably look that up, but I'm not gonna. I don't
- 40:24think he's worth that much. But also, this might
- 40:27be a way of the Capitals being let show on OV
- 40:29like, hey, we're gonna we're gonna go at this
- 40:31one more year. Because this is probably your
- 40:34last year. So we're gonna we're gonna go into
- 40:37crippling debt For you and these contracts aren't
- 40:41gonna work out like four or five years down the
- 40:42road but we're going to do this because we want
- 40:46to resign you and Have you be the best Washington
- 40:51Capitol ever and best girl score ever with us
- 40:54Probably I don't know who's to say I don't know.
- 40:59Is there any other is here the fucking trades?
- 41:02That are like worth shit Not really oh Right
- 41:09as the draft started the Rangers acquired Pavel
- 41:13Dorofiev from Vegas and Dorofiev Was a monster
- 41:21in the playoffs. This guy was great but Vegas
- 41:25as everyone making like a Lot of fucking money
- 41:29and so they couldn't pay him. So they had to
- 41:31trade him And so Vegas was actually forced to
- 41:35make their picks. Now that doesn't mean they're
- 41:38not going to trade them. They get seven of those
- 41:42bitches every year. They're just going to trade
- 41:46them. So, I don't know. I don't know that this
- 41:52one was such a surprise, but just for how long
- 41:57his tenure was, Brendan Gallagher moving on from
- 42:01the Canadians to Vancouver. Like, I don't think
- 42:06he was going to stay with the Canadians. I think
- 42:09they were both just kind of like, let's get let's
- 42:12get out of here. You know, I think he wanted
- 42:16to stay but they were like, we're we don't you're
- 42:19making way too much money. And you're barely
- 42:22playing. So yeah, we're gonna keep half your
- 42:26salary. for the next two or three years or however
- 42:29long contract you have left. And we're going
- 42:31to ship you off to Vancouver for future considerations,
- 42:35which is not a good sign. Yeah, is essentially
- 42:40nothing. Yeah, you know, I should look up one
- 42:44time if I take, I take, I take Brendan Gallagher
- 42:48for half his salary. Yeah, I mean, I should look
- 42:55up if future considerations ever ended up being
- 42:59something. I should look that up. I'll do that
- 43:03later. Ever ended up being an actual consideration?
- 43:07Yeah. Ever actually ended up being something.
- 43:12Like a player. To play one NHL game. And so,
- 43:17I don't know. Just one? That's the bar? For me,
- 43:22right now, yes. Because I don't I don't to my
- 43:26knowledge none of that shit has worked out But
- 43:29if it's one NHL game, I think I think that's
- 43:32kind of the bar. I think you'll be surprised.
- 43:34I mean, there's probably Future considerations
- 43:38that did like 30 points in a season Possibly
- 43:43computers look that up diamond in a rough, you
- 43:46know According to the Google machine Chris Draper
- 43:50in 1993 was traded for future considerations
- 43:53and played 17 seasons in Detroit He was treated
- 43:58for oh Like an actual guy like what did the future
- 44:03consider? Okay, yeah That might take a little
- 44:08more digging Notable players Because um while
- 44:20you'll Google that I will say that I am concerned
- 44:25That the sharks are gonna be unstoppable With
- 44:30next like six years. I think that is a fair concern
- 44:35I Think they had they ended up having three first
- 44:40round picks Yeah, they got I have our Stenberg
- 44:49Keaton Verhoff, I think that's his name. I'd
- 44:51like number nine. And then, uh, somewhere in
- 44:55the later round, Ryan Lin, I believe, who is
- 44:59apparently very good as well. And I think they're
- 45:02all going to call it. Ivar Stenberg is not going
- 45:04to college. I think he's actually going to start
- 45:07in the NHL at 18 years old. And so isn't, isn't
- 45:11Ryan Lin that fellow we looked up like And we
- 45:17wanted to know, like, what race he was. Do you
- 45:19remember that? No, that was Jason Robertson.
- 45:22No, that was Riker Lee. No, no, no, no, no. Riker
- 45:26Lee. OK, OK, OK. Yeah. And he's I believe he's
- 45:31of Filipino descent, maybe. I don't know. But
- 45:37I think that's that's who you're talking about.
- 45:40So, yeah, no, that's that's a very real. Real
- 45:45fear that is valid. That's a valid fear to have
- 45:49because Dude, they barely missed the playoffs
- 45:52last year and they just got three fucking great
- 45:56-ass players and all their players this past
- 46:00year are going to be one more year better and
- 46:04it's they also Drafted a fucking redwood tree.
- 46:08I don't know if you guys saw that. Oh shit directed
- 46:11the seven foot one defenseman. Jesus. Tallest
- 46:18player ever to be drafted. That means he's like
- 46:22I'm like I didn't even know they made him that
- 46:24big. That means he's like 7475 on skates. Yeah,
- 46:31oh my God. Step over chara. You should have played
- 46:36basketball. Yeah, he would have made a lot more
- 46:40money. I don't know if. They had that where he's
- 46:44from, but I don't know where he's from, but wherever
- 46:48he's from, they don't have it. What's his name
- 46:50again? Uh, I just had, I don't know his name.
- 46:54Two seconds. Two seconds. Two seconds. Tall guy.
- 46:58Sharks. I guess Alexander Karmanov. K -A -R -M
- 47:04-A -N -O -V. Sounds Russian. Yeah. Oh, Moldova.
- 47:12You got basketball over there. Yeah, do that.
- 47:16Right? I don't know where that is. That wasn't
- 47:23in Yakko Warner's Countries of the World song,
- 47:26so I don't know where that is. I don't know that
- 47:30one by heart, so. Between Romania and the Ukraine.
- 47:37Ah, it's Eastern Bloc. Yeah. Makes sense. Must
- 47:40be cold. Sounds cold up there. Probably. Probably
- 47:45a little chilly. Yeah. Yeah, maybe they wouldn't
- 47:50be outside playing basketball. Maybe they'd be
- 47:51outside playing hockey. No, that makes sense.
- 47:54He might have made the right choice. I don't
- 47:56know. We'll see. Only time will tell. Um, you
- 48:01know, say they fucking giant of a person. Just
- 48:07he's a giant person. He's some sort of mega person.
- 48:15Oh my gosh, he's he's putting beyond song on
- 48:18his on his shoulders to form some sort of mega
- 48:21person. You used to get the World Cup going on.
- 48:29I do need to watch kicking and screaming again,
- 48:30I think. All good things in life start with a
- 48:38brat. So Mike Ditka says at the beginning of
- 48:44the movie when they go get the Italians from
- 48:46the butcher. Correct. That does happen. He does
- 48:51say that too. Super Bowl winning coach Mike Ditka.
- 48:57You're crazy. I'm not crazy. I'm just thirsty.
- 49:00Go get me a juice box. Juice box boy. Juice box
- 49:04boy. You're supposed to back me up when I need
- 49:09it and get me a juice box when I want one. You're
- 49:12out of your mind. I'm not out of my mind. I'm
- 49:14just thirsty. I bet that might have been a little
- 49:18scary. Talking to Mike did connect. Yeah. That's
- 49:25so funny. Should we move on? Are we done with
- 49:31hockey talk? Sure, we can move on. Don't have
- 49:38much to add when it comes to the World Cup. I
- 49:41did watch the turkey USA game or turkey a and
- 49:46Was disappointed that we lost in the end at the
- 49:49last minute, but hey That's soccer, baby You're
- 49:55just playing our backups mostly anyway, so That
- 49:59can't meant nothing to us Yesterday Monday was
- 50:03but we're really every game so far has as of
- 50:07Tuesday night at eight thirty five p .m. Central
- 50:09has been has some sort of drama to it. It's been
- 50:12awesome. On Monday, I think two of the three
- 50:16played went to penalty kicks. One had Paraguay
- 50:19upsetting potential or a pre -tournament favorite
- 50:23Germany. That's fucking awesome. Morocco beat
- 50:27the Netherlands. That's pretty sweet. It was
- 50:30great. Great. Few games of footy to open the
- 50:33knockout rounds. Did uh, I'm only thinking about
- 50:37Bosnia Tomorrow night when it will already either
- 50:42be extremely happy or extremely sad by the time
- 50:44this comes out You ever been to Bosnia? You ever
- 50:48been in? My dad was there Every time I use this
- 50:55pocket pussy, I think of my dad I remember we
- 51:03we started quoting that last week and I said,
- 51:06I'm going to stop the the quote right there before
- 51:10the part that Sean just said. We've said a whole
- 51:18lot worse. I think that every time I see the
- 51:25entire time I've seen Bosnia in the World Cup
- 51:27every single time. I've been getting some like
- 51:32elite. TikTok edits of like that, like that line,
- 51:37just to like the US soccer like team highlights.
- 51:41It's awesome. Oh, yeah. So the so that who's
- 51:48the fucking blonde guy that plays for Holland.
- 51:50So so he lost today. No, he his name is Holland.
- 51:54He plays for Norway. Oh, he plays for Norway.
- 51:57Right. OK, sorry. Did they play? Yeah, they beat
- 52:04Um, some shit, who'd they be? Um, Ivory Coast,
- 52:09um, today, three to one, he scored a goal. Two
- 52:13to, two to one, he scored a goal. And the, he
- 52:17scored the winning goal in the final minutes,
- 52:18which was clutch because I had him to score a
- 52:20goal. I had him parlayed with Mbappe to score
- 52:22a goal and I had nowhere to win in 90 minutes.
- 52:25And that one bet helped, or cashed or helped
- 52:28cash all three. So that was very nice. Thank
- 52:30you, Mr. Holland. I heard, I saw that Channing
- 52:34Tatum was, was in the crowd and had a, had a
- 52:37Holland wig on. They're in some commercial. There's
- 52:42some FIFA commercial going on. It has like a
- 52:44shit ton of stars in it. And there's like a two
- 52:47second clip of them sitting next to each other.
- 52:49And yeah, it's Channing Tatum has the Holland
- 52:51man bun. I don't know what the commercial is
- 52:55for. Don't really care, but that's the only time
- 53:00I just thought that was an interesting. Tidbit
- 53:02I didn't know they were such good friends. Hey
- 53:06true bros. No, no, no, no borders Sure That's
- 53:17cool, but so I definitely will be tuning into
- 53:20the to the USA game tomorrow And it's at a decent
- 53:23time. So that's great Where are they playing?
- 53:27Seattle Seattle That's not a I mean, that's that'll
- 53:33be only like five five o 'clock their time. Yeah
- 53:37The seven here kind of works out for us. I don't
- 53:41know Have a have you just going back to Holland
- 53:44real quick. Have you guys seen that he like recently?
- 53:47Got on snapchat You know in 2026 I think I did
- 53:53see something about that. They're undefeated
- 53:58Like, he already knows, like, how to use it.
- 54:01It's crazy. Like, he'll just, like, answer, like,
- 54:06fan questions. Like, one of them was like, are
- 54:08you a boy or a girl? And his answer was like,
- 54:10my dad is a boy and my mom is a girl, so I'm
- 54:13mixed. And he had one with, like, the Shrek filter.
- 54:19It's, like, selfie with my twin. And he even,
- 54:25like, asked... like snapchat to rank his like
- 54:29pokemon fire red team and i was just like oh
- 54:31dude this guy he's just a silly little norwegian
- 54:37boy i've been getting a lot of holland um like
- 54:42videos in my algorithm lately and there is a
- 54:44really funny one i saw yesterday he was sitting
- 54:47at some table eating lunch and then he was just
- 54:51kind of like looking around eating lunch and
- 54:53then he kind of like there's a mirror right next
- 54:56to the table and he kind of just glanced over
- 54:59at it and he like flinched. So I was like, this
- 55:06guy's fucking hilarious. This dude's undefeated.
- 55:11It's hard to, if the US eventually plays them,
- 55:18it'll be hard. It won't be hard, but you know,
- 55:22you know what I mean. Give it yourself. I like
- 55:24I like the guy is what I'm saying. Yeah, he's
- 55:27he's he's pretty obviously I knew of him because
- 55:29he's like the best Shit my microphone out of
- 55:36my ear He's like the best soccer player on the
- 55:38planet right now or one of them But I didn't
- 55:40know he was like hilarious, too. Oh, yeah What
- 55:48else so England didn't qualify correct Or they
- 55:53did they play? They just kind of were very underwhelming
- 55:58and replay. I don't know who they play first.
- 56:00I think it's. I think they played. Yeah, they
- 56:06play the Congo tomorrow morning. The Congo. The
- 56:12dance of July 4th. Canada, Morocco. And Paraguay,
- 56:20France. On the fourth, those are like our two
- 56:24biggest enemies. Those are in Philadelphia. I'll
- 56:34be rooting hard for Paraguay. That'll be fun.
- 56:37They're going to get smoked. But yeah, probably.
- 56:40France is really fucking good. They're probably
- 56:43going to win the whole thing again. Yeah. Let's
- 56:47pluck a little underdog. If you listen to Stephen
- 56:49A. France? Yeah. Before, I think it was still
- 56:54there in group play. They were talking about
- 56:56soccer on first take, which I can only assume
- 56:59was just A plus television. But I saw a clip
- 57:02where he was interviewing some expert. He's like,
- 57:05do you think France can finally get over the
- 57:06hump and win this thing? You know, not like they've
- 57:10won. I think they won it three times in the last
- 57:11like 20 years, including. They won it last time.
- 57:14They won it two, two times ago. They played in
- 57:16the final last year. Did they not win last? I
- 57:19thought Argentina won last year. I thought it
- 57:21came, I thought it came down to penalty kicks.
- 57:24Oh, I thought that as well. I thought Argentina
- 57:26won. I know they either won last year or four
- 57:30years ago or eight years ago. It was one of those.
- 57:33I remember I was at the gym and there was literally
- 57:36like a group of like 20 men huddled around like
- 57:41the one TV that it was playing on, but I don't
- 57:45remember who won. Argentina. Argentina beat France.
- 57:51Okay. Yeah. Okay. And then France won it in 20
- 57:55or in 18. Okay. Okay. Argentina. Coming back
- 58:01to me now. Yeah, USA all the way. Damn straight.
- 58:11Yeah, it'll be really exciting once it gets down
- 58:13to the, you know, I was about to say after the
- 58:17knockout stage, but that's not how that's not
- 58:19how it works. We're in the knockouts. We're about
- 58:23to be in the knockout stage. I know it's after
- 58:26the round of 32. Yeah. Sweet 16. Yes, the sweet
- 58:33six. Yes, that's when that's when bracket ology
- 58:37really starts playing a playing a part there.
- 58:43Dudes love brackets. Remember that one episode
- 58:45we did where we just We did a couple of brackets
- 58:48around other things. Oh, yeah. That was such
- 58:53a long time ago. That was a few years ago. I
- 58:56don't remember either, but I do remember we did
- 58:58that. I think it was in the summer. Yeah, I think
- 59:01we did Will Ferrell movies. Yeah. Maybe Candy.
- 59:07Special Candy. Candy. Shout out Candy. Um, she's
- 59:16always been there for me. Um, okay. Um, I'm trying
- 59:23to think about the other shit that's going on,
- 59:25but I can't do it. Um, I mean, if we want to
- 59:28get real for a second, yeah, I was going to say
- 59:31we could get real for, yeah, we can get real.
- 59:35Um, yeah, obviously devastating news for, I mean,
- 59:38NFL fans, but especially Titans fans, uh, I didn't
- 59:42know. Chris Johnson, like obviously I didn't
- 59:45know he had it but like how do you keep that
- 59:48like under wraps for a year? I don't know. I'm
- 59:54Pretty not. Okay. Yeah about the whole thing
- 59:59very um, I will say That interview with with
- 1:00:04Michael Strahan. That is one of the best uses
- 1:00:07of AI I've seen to date Is that yes? you know
- 1:00:13if you don't know that he cannot talk anymore
- 1:00:16and he uses a device that he controls with his
- 1:00:20eyes to speak but it's still like his voice which
- 1:00:26is insane so that i mean i'm not a big ai guy
- 1:00:33i guess but like that's probably one of the best
- 1:00:37uses of ai i've ever seen for sure it was very
- 1:00:41because like jarring that image all of a sudden.
- 1:00:45Cause like, I mean, there was the rumor going
- 1:00:46around that he was, that he was going to announce
- 1:00:50that he had ALS, but I just assumed it was like
- 1:00:53a very recent diagnosis. And maybe he looked
- 1:00:56like a little smaller or whatever. I, it was
- 1:00:58very jarring to just cut to him and he can't
- 1:01:02really move or talk. And I was like, Oh, this
- 1:01:06is, I mean, for lack of a better term, just like
- 1:01:11really like. bad. Like I was, I was not expecting
- 1:01:15it to be that far along. And then we say, yeah,
- 1:01:17he's had it for a year. Holy shit, dude. Yeah,
- 1:01:21I think I saw something that like, it rapidly
- 1:01:24progressed at a crazy rate. And I'm like, man,
- 1:01:31what? How? How did this happen? Like, I don't
- 1:01:38I mean, I don't know what causes ALS or, you
- 1:01:41know, if we even know that there's a cause, but
- 1:01:43I mean, is it, is it like a head thing? There
- 1:01:46have been apparent, I was unaware of this until
- 1:01:49yesterday, but there have been like some new
- 1:01:51studies that potentially link could be like,
- 1:01:56if you have a long enough folk career, you were
- 1:01:58more susceptible to ALS. We, nobody that nobody
- 1:02:02has said like this is how he got it, but cause
- 1:02:05he, I mean, Yeah, I don't know. Nobody's saying
- 1:02:09that's like this. It's not like CTE where it's
- 1:02:11like, okay, yeah, that's football is it because
- 1:02:14I mean, it happens to everyone. It can happen
- 1:02:16to anyone. And they even said like in the thing,
- 1:02:18it's like he has like a it's called like sporadic
- 1:02:23diagnosis or like essentially meaning it was
- 1:02:26random. Like there was no determining factor
- 1:02:29for it. It's a very vicious disease. Yeah. I
- 1:02:39haven't, I think the closest person that I know
- 1:02:42that has had ALS was one of my friends from high
- 1:02:45school. Their grandmother got ALS and it was
- 1:02:51very quick. Like it was within like a year and
- 1:02:55a half that, you know, she was gone. So, and
- 1:03:01there's really nothing that you can do about
- 1:03:04it at all. That's the heartbreaking thing about
- 1:03:08it. I was scouring my apartment for my old Chris
- 1:03:21Johnson jersey and I think in the move I have
- 1:03:26since lost it, which has added another level
- 1:03:30of depression towards me. It looks like you're
- 1:03:37wearing one right now. That's, uh, I'm wearing
- 1:03:39a Frank white chick. Okay. I just saw the eight
- 1:03:42and I assumed it was, yeah. Uh, I thought it
- 1:03:46still be fitting, you know, given the, uh, they're
- 1:03:51both traumatic, you know, brain stuff, muscle,
- 1:03:55you know, I don't know. They're it's okay. Yeah.
- 1:04:02Um, yeah, man, he was. Such a special player.
- 1:04:07I was lucky enough to go to pretty much every
- 1:04:09game he played at at Nissan Stadium. So. That's
- 1:04:16crazy. He was my favorite player at the time.
- 1:04:23Yeah. I will say that I did say some shit, you
- 1:04:28know, once he got paid and then just kind of
- 1:04:31fell off a cliff. Which. Right, it happens. It's
- 1:04:35football. Yeah, that's it happens. But man, a
- 1:04:42lot of good memories from CJ UK. And nobody will
- 1:04:47ever touch 2500 yards. That's just insane. Yeah.
- 1:04:56The Titans need to put him in the Ring of Honor
- 1:04:59like It should yes should have already been done.
- 1:05:03Yeah, I don't know what they were dragging their
- 1:05:05feet like There's like five good players that
- 1:05:08have ever played for the Titans they need to
- 1:05:10all be yeah, and like the fact that he wasn't
- 1:05:15already in it is like a crying shame in and of
- 1:05:19itself, but I don't know he's gonna get in it
- 1:05:23now because he's dying and That's just to me
- 1:05:28like insult to injury It's a, it's a gesture.
- 1:05:33I mean, just even from a PR perspective, you
- 1:05:36kind of have to do it now. Yeah. It should, you're
- 1:05:39right. It should have been done. It should have
- 1:05:42been done two years after he retired. Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:05:50I'm defstated, but you know, when, when you move,
- 1:05:54you lose stuff, stuff gets misplaced. I probably
- 1:05:58donated it. Someone at Goodwill has a. Chris
- 1:06:00Johnson jersey now. So take care of it. sucks,
- 1:06:06but what are you gonna do? Yeah. What are you
- 1:06:10gonna do? But damn, that sucks. I feel like we
- 1:06:14should talk about something nice for a minute
- 1:06:17before we leave. Then I'm trying to think of
- 1:06:20something. And I can't do it. Hey, Chris, give
- 1:06:24us a do you have a fun fact? I've got a few.
- 1:06:29Give one. You just want one? I have three written
- 1:06:32down. We're running low on time. Oh, we are?
- 1:06:35Okay. I don't have a thing. Whatever. Okay. Let's
- 1:06:39see. The funnest one is probably that more people
- 1:06:43have walked on the moon than have scored an earned
- 1:06:48run off of Mariano Rivera in the postseason.
- 1:06:51Mariano Rivera, legendary closer for the New
- 1:06:53York Yankees, gave up 11 runs in his career in
- 1:06:56the postseason. 12 people have walked on the
- 1:06:58moon. Wow. That's like 10 more than I thought
- 1:07:03have walked on the moon. Apparently it's been
- 1:07:05done. Like it's almost not even a big deal anymore.
- 1:07:08I, I knew that a decent amount of people had
- 1:07:11been on the moon. I thought it was like six.
- 1:07:13I thought it was like two. I thought it was like
- 1:07:15buzz. And the other one in the, in the one guy
- 1:07:18that had to stay in the shuttle. Oh yeah. Lance.
- 1:07:21Yeah. No Neil Neil Neil. I said, um, Yeah, whenever
- 1:07:29that happened, they went back, they were like,
- 1:07:32hey, we got to go back up there. It's super cool.
- 1:07:35And so they went up. They got some rocks and
- 1:07:40brought them back and some other soil things.
- 1:07:44But that's our time for this week. All I know
- 1:07:48is Tom Hanks did not get to walk on the moon.
- 1:07:51That's all I know. No, he's an actor. Well, he
- 1:07:56was in Apollo 11, which did not get the land
