17
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,640

Speaker 7: This hour brought to you by Window Nation. Cloudy and cooler,

38
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 6: It's a high of sixty three today.

39
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 4: All right.

40
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 8: Easter is a.

41
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 7: Day full of egg hunts, chocolate bunnies, Easter baskets, crafts

42
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 7: and more for young children. And while all of those

43
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 7: traditions come with questions from curious kids. There's none more

44
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 7: prevalent than where's the Easter Bunny come from? And while

45
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 7: legend has it that the Easter bunny's a long eared, furry,

46
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 7: cotton tailed creature who hops from house to house to

47
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 7: deliver candy filled basket, there's more to this.

48
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 6: History than you might be familiar with.

49
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 7: In fact, the Easter bunnies association with this special Christian

50
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 7: holiday dates back to pagan tradition. So how much do

51
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 7: you really feel like you know about the Easter Bunnies?

52
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 9: Like?

53
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 4: Zero?

54
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 6: Okay, wonderful, We're going to dig in a little bit.

55
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: Other than when I was a kid, I think I

56
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 3: thought the bunny dug Jesus out of the tomb, burrowed.

57
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's.

58
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 3: And then made and then helped them. The boulder came

59
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 3: out a lot easier, you know.

60
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 7: Okay, As Christians probably already know, the Bible makes no

61
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 7: mention of the mythical hair that produces eggs for children

62
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 7: on the day of Jesus Christ's resurrection. So one theory,

63
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 7: according to Time, is that the symbol of the rabbit

64
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 7: stems from the ancient pagan tradition, of which many of

65
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 7: our Easter traditions are based the festival of Esoterare, which

66
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 7: is honored the goddess of fertility and spring. So the

67
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 7: goddess's animal symbol is a rabbit, which has long been

68
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 7: associated with fertility due to its high reproductive rate.

69
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 6: Oh and uh.

70
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 7: For how the character of the Easter bunny made its

71
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 7: way to America, History dot com report that it was

72
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 7: first introduced in the seventeen hundreds by German immigrants to Pennsylvania,

73
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 7: who reportedly brought over their tradition of egg an egg

74
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 7: legging hair named oaster House or oyster Holtz from the

75
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 7: Old Country. So the legend there has it that the

76
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 7: rabbit would lay colorful eggs as gifts to good children.

77
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 4: Okay, fine, never understood any of this. It's weird.

78
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: I think Sanna catches a lot of flak for, you know, overshadowing.

79
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 4: Religion on Christmas.

80
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,799
Speaker 2: The Easter bunny has gotten away sort of scott free

81
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: when it's about the literal resurrection of Christ and it's like, hey,

82
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 2: here's a rabbit. Let's not think too hard.

83
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 8: There's a pagan symbol all the gods that we will celebrate,

84
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 8: remember that First Commandments. Yeah, forget that for right now.

85
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 8: We got jelly beans to eat.

86
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 9: Well.

87
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 3: I always thought that the weirdest thing about it with Easters,

88
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: you'd get the chocolate cross, dude, and it's like you're

89
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 3: eating the instrument of death, you know what I mean.

90
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: Catholic Church, I chocolate nails.

91
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 8: You know what I mean. I one time got a crucifix,

92
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 8: but with Jesus on it, like not just a cross,

93
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 8: but with his crucified body. And I was like, do

94
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 8: I start with the head or the like, is there

95
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 8: almonds in the middle. It's so sacrilegious, it's ridiculous.

96
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 4: I don't I just don't know.

97
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 8: Actually, I just literally like put it in the basement

98
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 8: and was like, just we're going to keep this here.

99
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 8: I'm I'm not chewing Christ's head off right now. No,

100
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 8: that was that's probably more move The only other.

101
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 7: Thing that we can kind of put together here from

102
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 7: a Christian perspective, Easter eggs representing Jesus' resurrection and emergence

103
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 7: from the tomb. According to history dot com, the tradition

104
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 7: of decorating eggs for Easter might date back to the

105
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 7: thirteenth century, when eggs were traditionally considered a forbidden food

106
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 7: do the Lent season. That's why people decorated them as

107
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 7: the fasting period came to an end, making them an

108
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 7: even more celebratory way to feast on Easter.

109
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 4: Why would eggs be forbidden?

110
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 6: I don't know, Maybe they were hard.

111
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 2: No idea, especially to yeah when people were like really

112
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 2: food insecure to be like you can't have the most ubiquitous,

113
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: easy thing to get, Yeah.

114
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 4: Don't eat that? Why because it's gross?

115
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 8: See, my kids would always ask questions about Easter stuff,

116
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 8: and I think you know, we we'd there'd be jelly

117
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 8: beans in the Easter eggs and that was another conundrum

118
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 8: that they had.

119
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 3: They're like, why are there jelly beans in Easter eggs?

120
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 3: Like where did jelly beans come from? And I was like,

121
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 3: it's all connected. What do you think the tooth Fairy

122
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 3: does with your teeth? I was like, there.

123
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 8: Had some artificial flavoring, and then that's the calcium hydroxide

124
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 8: that's produced by the teeth production.

125
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 4: It's all connected. You have to look into it.

126
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: Do you ever see Loose Change documentary Easter Bunny, the

127
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 3: Choose Fairy tell it on it?

128
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 4: Illuminati's doing all of this?

129
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 9: Man?

130
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 4: Do you ever hear of the Builderberg Group.

131
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 6: How big a deal is Easter in your home?

132
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 8: Jeff, See, in my upbringing, Easter was a one sixteenth

133
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 8: of what Christmas was like. It was sort of like

134
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 8: a let's, you know, do church thing, let's have people

135
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 8: over for We never.

136
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 4: Got big presence.

137
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 8: We never got you know, we had an Easter basket

138
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 8: and we hit eggs and everything like that. My wife

139
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 8: was the opposite. Easter was like a big deal in

140
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 8: her house. So she like, now Easter is like maybe

141
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 8: a half or three quarters Christmas. Like there's a lot

142
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 8: going on for Easter in our house, way more than

143
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 8: I'm I think comfortable with, just because I grew up

144
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 8: when it's sort of a you know, an austere time,

145
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 8: not so much frilly.

146
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 4: Yeah. I never liked it, never was into it.

147
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 3: The Catholicism part of it was so overwhelming and having

148
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:04,559
Speaker 3: to serve mass.

149
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 8: If you had knew you were just gonna go to

150
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 8: church for like six and a half hours, that for

151
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 8: like two weeks.

152
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 4: I mean it was doing stations the Cross at school

153
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 4: every day.

154
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just it was a drag for me totally.

155
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 3: The food was never good enough either, so the payoff,

156
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 3: like the foods like I like ham and but like

157
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 3: whenever the like a basket of chocolate. It's just not

158
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 3: enough of a payoff. Yeah, so I never got that

159
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 3: excited about it.

160
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 9: Again.

161
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 8: I get to wash that down with al grotton potatoes too.

162
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 8: I do love potato, I do, but right after a

163
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 8: right after a Hershey's. Well, it did start my lifelong

164
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 8: hatred of pastels. I don't like past can't pastel colors.

165
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 8: I can't stand pastels.

166
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 6: Really by the decor for Easter sucks.

167
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 4: I agree with you. The color scheme in Easter is

168
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 4: the absolute most.

169
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 3: Annoying part of it to me. But yeah, I'm sure

170
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: my mom my mom would hear that. She would be like,

171
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 3: so disappointed Jesus.

172
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 8: And then I'd be like, I don't like for a poll, sorry,

173
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 8: Lilac's not I'm not into lilac.

174
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 3: Oh well, well, well, Abby, Tad, Jeff, guess what looks

175
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 3: like we've got another Aaron Rodgers update.

176
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 4: Yes, that's right, all right, here we go. This is

177
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 4: the latest.

178
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 3: This comes from ESPN's Adam Schafter Adam, where can.

179
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 6: You tell us on this timeline for Aaron Rodgers?

180
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 7: And I'm sorry if you're tired of this question, but

181
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 7: we're gonna keep fascinated, so we have.

182
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 10: A decision or I'm never tired of the Aaron Rodgers question.

183
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 10: It's always out there. And the situation is that he

184
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 10: and Mike McCarthy have been talking on a regular basis.

185
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 10: That would lead people to think, if they're talking that often,

186
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 10: why are they even talking? If Aaron Rodgers is not

187
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 10: serious about coming back, that would tell you that obviously

188
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 10: he's strongly entertaining the idea of coming back to the

189
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 10: pittsburghs Bills. And I think everyone right now within this

190
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 10: Dealers organization is cautiously optimistic that.

191
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 4: Okay, so there you go.

192
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 3: We're up to Aaron Rodgers strongly entertaining playing this year.

193
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 3: Let's send it over to the WDB Aaron Rodgers forecasting

194
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 3: Center where Abby Kristner is standing by Abby, how does

195
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 3: this track with what we've seen so far?

196
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 6: Well, Randy, Tad and Jeff.

197
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 7: As you heard, according to Adam Schefter, Rogers is strongly

198
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 7: entertaining playing for Mike McCarthy.

199
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 6: Which is what our model has been.

200
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 4: Predicting all along.

201
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 2: Now, Abby, correct me if I'm wrong, But this decision

202
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 2: is moving along at a rather brisk pace.

203
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 4: It seems like just a week ago we were at a.

204
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 2: Category one leaning toward return, and now we're already Eddie

205
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: strongly entertaining this decision. Seems to have gained gained a

206
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 2: lot of intensity over a short period of time.

207
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 7: That's right, Tad, and we can attribute that to a

208
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 7: couple of high pressure systems, his ego and Art Rooney's

209
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 7: patience joining fortes to move this story to the next level.

210
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 7: Look ahead at the ten day forecast, and we can

211
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 7: expect Aaron to be heavily considering.

212
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 6: Coming back by early considering yes, and.

213
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 7: Then by next weekend as we run nearer to the draft,

214
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 7: some light scattered reports of likely to return with the

215
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 7: European model even showing a slight chance of that tapering

216
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 7: off to still exploring all options if he hasn't got

217
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 7: enough attention, but a scheduled appearance on the McAfee show

218
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 7: next Tuesday, I don't wipe out any chance of that.

219
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 3: So back to you, Randy, Thanks, Abbey, appreciate it. MIC's

Speaker 3: On the dd Morning Show and there's strong consideration from

232
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers.

233
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 4: Breaking news for Adam Schefter there strong, Yeah, that's not

234
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 4: breaking this strong.

235
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 5: Sam Schefter talking about something because cons because he gotta

236
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 5: talk about something. Mike McCarty said, Micha McCarthy said yesterday,

237
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 5: he's confident. I think that is the quote unquote strongest

238
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 5: term that has been issued to date.

239
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 4: But it is not. Yeah, he's coming back.

240
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 5: And even McCarthy kind of put an asterisk on his Uh,

241
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 5: I'm confident with But of course it always comes back

242
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 5: to it's a personal.

243
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 4: Decision, Okay, Uh hate it all.

244
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers could put a stop to all of this

245
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 3: right away, and he likes to create these situations, and

246
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 3: they go, why does everybody just have to talk about

247
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 3: me all the time?

248
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 4: Cuz you're keeping us getting on the bus. We're all

249
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 4: sitting here waiting to get on the bus, and you're

250
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 4: standing in the door, going, maybe I'll go on me.

251
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 5: You could go on and assume the driver's gonna come

252
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 5: on eventually, and then you're gonna go.

253
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 4: Nobody needs to.

254
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 8: Know, now, yes, just it's just reassuring. It's just one

255
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 8: less variable you have in your life. Let's get it solved.

256
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 8: But I need to know soon before the draft. And

257
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 8: I always think about the beginning of the movie The

258
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 8: Bird Cage, where it's like.

259
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 4: I can't go on, I won't go on the Nathan.

260
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 4: I have no problem with him wanting to take time.

261
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 4: I don't.

262
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 3: It's this idea that he is unfairly being spoken about

263
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 3: while he takes his time trying to figure out whether

264
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 3: he wants to, and paints it as a media obsession.

265
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 4: It's like, you can't have it both ways.

266
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 8: Do you know what market you're in? We're gonna obsess

267
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 8: about this any market.

268
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 3: You are a four time MVP, you are a super

269
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 3: Bowl champion, you are a big deal. You made yourself

270
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 3: into an even bigger celebrity. Yes, you were almost vice president.

271
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 3: Think about that. I'm just happy he doesn't play in jeans.

272
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 3: To be quite honest with you, I mean, if you

273
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 3: think about it, that might be what he's holding out

274
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 3: for this year. I want to have camp in jeans,

275
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 3: no shirts, jeans, all of those things. He has put

276
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 3: himself out there, all of those Tuesdays with Maury, he's

277
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 3: doing leave my fake wife out of this, yeah, imaginary wife,

278
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 3: all of that, and he's like, people stop talking about me, please?

279
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 4: Why are you so obsessed with me? And then like, well, Aaron,

280
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 4: are you working out?

281
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 9: Yeah?

282
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 3: I want my wife to want to f me timate.

283
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 4: Don't talk about it. Don't talk about it. Don't you

284
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 4: feel my stuff drives me crazy? When it comes to football,

285
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 4: I'm all on board. Dude knows what he's still.

286
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 3: I know he's older, I know he's immobile, but once

287
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 3: he's our quarterback, he's my QB one.

288
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 4: I'm on board.

289
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 5: I feel you're pain. It's just the other stuff. Is

290
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 5: he's easily ignorable?

291
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: Mmm?

292
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 11: It is.

293
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 8: No, it's annoying, it's irritating. Yeah, it's it's a mosquito.

294
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 8: But Mosquito's mosquito. And then if he's not the guy,

295
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 8: go oh. I kind of thought he was gonna be

296
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 8: the guy. I guess they're fast forwarding into the Will

297
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 8: Howard here.

298
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 9: I'm not.

299
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess like my frustration is manyfold. One with

300
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 3: him claiming, you know that he he gets wrongly treated

301
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 3: because he doesn't.

302
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 4: Uh.

303
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,239
Speaker 3: Two, that schefter feels the need to recalibrate with language

304
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 3: all the time and categorize it as breaking news.

305
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 4: That's ridiculous, Yes it is.

306
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 8: I also think that, don't you know, this story already

307
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 8: happened last year the same thing. So it's sort of

308
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 8: like if you have a TV show that you like

309
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 8: and then the second season the same plot points keep

310
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 8: getting hit.

311
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 3: You're like, all right, let's go here, come on. Right

312
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 3: that being said, I think he's gonna come back and

313
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 3: be our quarterback.

314
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 4: And I'll be happy about that.

315
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 3: I will too, But not a lot of Steeler fans

316
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 3: are going to be a lot of people want to

317
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 3: see Will Howard they are very excited about.

318
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 5: Really, I'm really excited about Will Hard He's uh, he's

319
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 5: not ready yet. And Rogers is the youngest forty two

320
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 5: year old quarterback since Tom Brady m.

321
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 4: Good point, it's just a.

322
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 5: Different Some guys are different, and I think the people

323
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 5: that have a problem with Rogers have a problem with

324
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 5: the number on the roster under age.

325
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 4: They didn't watch the games close enough.

326
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 8: Well yeah, but don't you think that's also like an

327
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 8: impending doom situation, Like you know, he's forty two, he's

328
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 8: not going to get better? Yeah, right, one one bad

329
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 8: crack he ain't. Now we're really at lost at sea.

330
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 3: I think some people have wrongly remembered the season he

331
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 3: has h in categorizing him as completely immobile. I mean,

332
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 3: he's not going to take off running and run for

333
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 3: forty yards a game or anything like that.

334
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 4: But I also.

335
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 3: Second, but I also think that you and people who

336
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 3: are on your side of the argument also don't take

337
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 3: into account what Jeff and Tad were just saying. Time

338
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 3: sort of das is dangling.

339
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I just think you know, every once in

340
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 5: a while, you run across somebody that's different, and Brady

341
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 5: was that kind of guy. Hell, Brady was talking about

342
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 5: coming back again.

343
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 4: Do you not think the.

344
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 5: League won't let him because he's in ownership now. But

345
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,959
Speaker 5: this guy has a small army of people working on

346
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 5: his body. Rogers like he's he eats different, he preps different,

347
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 5: he saw I mean, you saw the arm last year.

348
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 5: There's not a lot of people that can throw like that.

349
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 4: I'm with you all the way on how old they are.

350
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 5: And this is the age in the NFL. Look what

351
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 5: Stafford's still doing.

352
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 3: He had like three bad games though, Like games were like,

353
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 3: it's not perfect this guy. Like in November into December

354
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: there was like three games and he was missing lots

355
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 3: of guys. It was a lot of guy And there

356
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 3: were speculations when he came back from injury, and there's

357
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,719
Speaker 3: a lot of speculation that it was because he had

358
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,239
Speaker 3: the yips, he was afraid of getting hit.

359
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess that's a narrative you can cling to

360
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 5: if you want to.

361
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 4: Does anybody else remember what he was throwing to?

362
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, and not actually know what was he supposed to do?

363
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 4: John new Smith on a screen. How About they got

364
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 4: Michael Pittman.

365
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 5: How About maybe Metcalf won't get himself thrown out of

366
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 5: the two biggest how About they'll draft a guy on

367
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 5: the second or third round that can actually run a

368
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 5: route and catch the football.

369
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 3: Fair I think it's their best chance given who's out there.

370
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 4: I still think that. I mean, I just he torek twenty.

371
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 5: Four touchdown passes last year and interceptions. Two of the

372
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 5: interceptions were Metcalf allowing the ball to get ripped out

373
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 5: of his hands after it was already a completion that

374
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 5: should have been a fumble. And then there's should have

375
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 5: been a touchdown against Seattle, but Calvin Austin was in

376
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 5: the wrong place and he deflected it for the Seahawks,

377
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 5: so that numbers should have been twenty five and five.

378
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 5: Then factor in some of the drops DK okay, and

379
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 5: I can play. He can play. Whether you hate him

380
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 5: or you think like Kunkle thinks, okay, it's gonna expire

381
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 5: in ten minutes. That's more legitimate argument than the guy

382
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 5: can't play. The guy can play. Let's start there now.

383
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 5: If you still don't want him, you still don't want him,

384
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 5: but I'm not going to debate that he can't play.

385
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 4: All right, let's do this.

386
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 3: We're gonna can play. We'll take a break and come

387
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 3: back with the old two niner. Because the Penguins are

388
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 3: on fire, just when they needed to ignite five to

389
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 3: one over the Red Wings last night.

390
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 4: They look amazing.

391
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 3: The last two games have been so much fun to watch,

392
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 3: and you know two nine ers is going to be

393
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 3: riled up Mark Man and in the nine o'clock hour

00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:01,520

Speaker 4: Stick around.

396
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 12: They are the best band ever.

397
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 13: The best bands ever are ready to play, but they're

404
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 14: This winter might not have been the worst one on record,

405
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 14: but it's up there. Aside from being hard on people,

406
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 14: it's even tougher on our homes. Hey, it's Eric for

407
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 14: once again. It's time for hockey talk.

408
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 9: This is the.

409
00:20:51,160 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 12: Astor nine.

410
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 9: Two niner.

411
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 4: About it, No more lazy and gentlemen Top of the morning.

412
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 9: Obviously, obviously that had a little different tone. Sometimes I

413
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 9: come on here on a Wednesday morning, maybe a tough loss,

414
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 9: maybe a goalie interference call, and it doesn't have quite

415
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 9: the oaph, the length or the girth. But this hatters

416
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 9: all Randall and well done, my friend, well done.

417
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 4: I thought you deserve the girth.

418
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 9: Thank you, thank you, We all do.

419
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 4: The last two games.

420
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 3: Penguins girthy performances all all the way around. I had

421
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 3: so much fun watching these last two Penguino matchups.

422
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 4: I wasn't sure what to expect.

423
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 3: Uh, it looked like they were losing steam there, and

424
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 3: as soon as it turned into well, they got to

425
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 3: win this one on the island, and boy did they

426
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 3: do it in convincing fashion. And they run so roken

427
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 3: and send all those Islanders fans back to the docks.

428
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 3: That was unbelievable to watch, and that made me happy.

429
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,719
Speaker 3: And then I thought, okay, they can even if they

430
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 3: snake a point out of this game against the Red Wings.

431
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 4: But Porky, they dominated. They looked like a team.

432
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 3: That I wouldn't want to play, where I a playoff

433
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 3: contender once the postseason comes. Now, it's not a fay

434
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 3: to complete yet, but boy are they on the right

435
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 3: track for Dan Use and Kyle Dubis to have engineered

436
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 3: improbably this team into a playoff situation.

437
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 9: Well said my friend, well said, hey, ready, before I

438
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 9: give you my thoughts and comments, we do we have

439
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 9: a delay, and we have a delay.

440
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 4: Jacob, do you have Borky on some sort of delay

441
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 4: you shouldn't?

442
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 9: No, no, no, depending no, depending on what I say.

443
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can swear.

444
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 9: I mean you know, okay, okay, okay, nuts nuts, the

445
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 9: size of coconuts. How's that all right? Coconut huge ones,

446
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 9: huge ones, swinging in the wind. That's what I'm talking about. Right.

447
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 9: This is a ballsy hockey team. It really is. They've

448
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 9: come together. They are what the definition of T E

449
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 9: A M is they I almost couldn't spell that t

450
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 9: E A team. They play like a team. Right.

451
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 4: A lot of people.

452
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 9: At the beginning of the year, even the middle of year,

453
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 9: and even now other media members say like, how you

454
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 9: guys doing it? Porky, how are you doing?

455
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 3: Like?

456
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 9: I know you got sid In Gino and those guys,

457
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 9: but Carlson's playing unbelievable.

458
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 4: How are you doing it?

459
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 9: Because they play as a team, and we don't have

460
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 9: enough time for me to get into all the intangibles

461
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 9: and all the little things they do because they kind

462
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 9: of fly underneath the radar. You don't see them when

463
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 9: you're watching the highlights. So you look at the stats

464
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 9: and the box scores and all that. But this is

465
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 9: what makes a winning hockey team. When you're willing to

466
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 9: do all those little things on a consistent basis and

467
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 9: get punched in the face or punch somebody else in

468
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 9: the face, stick up for a teammate. You know, if

469
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 9: you played team sports before, you know what I'm talking about.

470
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 9: When you're fighting for yourself and then you start fighting

471
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 9: for each other, it matters, man. And then you sprinkle

472
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 9: on enough of talent and chemistry and you start cooking

473
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 9: with gas. And of course health is a big thing too.

474
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 9: Right now you're getting you got Sid back one night,

475
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 9: Gino back the other night. When you've played seventeen games

476
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 9: in the month of March, fatigue is there. You're human,

477
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 9: but you get a the adrenaline rush. You get a

478
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 9: pump when you see seventy one and eighty seven back

479
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 9: into the lineup. That's what I witnessed the last couple

480
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 9: of nights. If they got that lift that they needed

481
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 9: from their superstars back into the lineup. It's the fun team.

482
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 9: And I know we've had a roller coaster a ride,

483
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 9: but it makes you forget all those those tough, tough

484
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 9: losses that we had. It makes you forget about them,

485
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 9: but also kind of makes them a tougher group because

486
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 9: they've been able to go through it and not completely

487
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 9: unraveled come out the other side. It be better for.

488
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 4: It, Porky.

489
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 5: They have gone through a couple of rough stretches this season,

490
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 5: and at those times I was wondering, all right, is

491
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 5: this that kind of team that is playing as hard

492
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,959
Speaker 5: as it can and when it gets to the postseason

493
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 5: or down the stretch, it's not going to be able

494
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 5: to elevate collectively as is necessary. You know, the Penguins

495
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 5: were in fifth gear for them and everybody else was

496
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 5: in third. Last couple of nights, I've seen another gear.

497
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 5: And in addition to the onions you reference, does that

498
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 5: imply ownership that these guys have just decided we can

499
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 5: do something with this and and damn it, we're doing it.

500
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 9: No great points, Mike, You're right, You're you're seeing it

501
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 9: the way I'm seeing it. That is it? Dan muse? Yeah?

502
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 9: Is it the leadership group? Yeah? Is it the bottom

503
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 9: six or the kind of the role players if you will,

504
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 9: that are all saying No, I'm just not going to

505
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 9: be another you know, another car on the on the

506
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 9: train here I'm gonna I'm gonna make a statement. I

507
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 9: want to be a part of this. I want to

508
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 9: stay in the lineup. I want to contribute because this

509
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 9: feels good. I like being in Pittsburgh. I like being

510
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 9: in Pittsburgh Penguin. And yeah, Dan Muse has a part

511
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 9: of it the way he's kind of mused us moving

512
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 9: the pieces around on the on the chessboard, but also

513
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 9: the players are responding to those moves and changing the

514
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 9: lines or players in and out of the lineup, but

515
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 9: bringing players out for sending players down. You know, between

516
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 9: Dan Muse and Kyle Dubas, they've struck a chord with

517
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 9: with the players in that locker room that has highly

518
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 9: motivated them to not care some of the things you

519
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 9: talk about, the hurdles that have been in front of

520
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 9: them in front of them, whether it's the health, whether

521
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 9: it's the opponent, whether it's the schedule, whatever it is,

522
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 9: they just have kind of locked arms and stuck their

523
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 9: oars a little deeper in the water and said, we

524
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 9: don't care. We're going out there and playing penguine hockey.

525
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 9: We're gonna play our asses off and we're a good

526
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 9: enough team to be anybody in the.

527
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 3: League BORGI it has been so much fun to watch

528
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:50,479
Speaker 3: the fight the other night from l Murder. There were

529
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 3: a couple of times when we didn't get goaltender interference

530
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 3: in the games before that, where I thought you were

531
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 3: going to blow your stack, right. I was legitimately worried,

532
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 3: as Josh gets up if you were okay, because it

533
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 3: seemed like you could not believe how.

534
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 4: Much they were getting jobbed by the refs.

535
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 3: And then when you called the the the blow by

536
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 3: blow of the Elmer fight the other day, I was like, man,

537
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 3: Porky's all the way back now. That was like Howard

538
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 3: Coast Cell, like Jim Lampley didn't call fights that well.

539
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, to see the big guy, because when you're six

540
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 9: to eight, you're I'm sorry, you're kind of expected to

541
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 9: have some physicality. You can't just go tiptoeing through the tulips, right,

542
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 9: and when somebody uh bumps into you, or you throw

543
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 9: an elbow into some of these chops like he did

544
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 9: with let's uh make there. Sometimes you sometimes if you're

545
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 9: you're gonna go head to head, you gotta go toe

546
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 9: to toe, right, And that's that's what he did. And

547
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 9: it's unbelievable. First of all, how well he did. You know,

548
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 9: for a guy that's his first NHL fight, you never

549
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 9: know how it's gonna go, even if you're a big,

550
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 9: strong guy, because fighting is more than just throwing punches.

551
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 9: To do it on two pieces of feel about a

552
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 9: quarter inch wide, to do it as well as he did,

553
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 9: and you saw the response. And that's why I like

554
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 9: that this hockey fighting still in hockey, Randy is because

555
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 9: of moments like that. It can kind of it can

556
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 9: allow players to vent, It can allow players to police

557
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 9: the game within the game and not have the referees

558
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 9: be involved at all. Very rarely do you see somebody

559
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 9: get really hurt in a hockey fight. They're quick, they're

560
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 9: over pretty fast. But it can number one, galvanize a team.

561
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 9: Number two, it can be a message to the rest

562
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 9: of the league, either your opponent that night or the

563
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 9: rest of the league, that you're not going to push

564
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 9: us around anymore. Well, it's happened here in the past.

565
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 9: Over the last three years, there's been too much of

566
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 9: it where teams have been able to take advantage of

567
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 9: their goaltender or their captain or a bunch of other

568
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 9: players on the team and now you've got guys and

569
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 9: even Connor Doer said, screw that, man, you're gonna cross

570
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 9: check me. We're just gonna go and and not only fight,

571
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 9: fight for the right reasons and do good in those fights.

572
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 9: And so again, it's it's little intangible things that really

573
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 9: bring a team together.

574
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 3: Well, Mike feels a little differently about that, but you know,

575
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 3: the proof is in the pudding. I thought they scored

576
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 3: three goals after that and it shut the Islanders down effectively.

577
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, again, it's it's I think that the Islanders wanted

578
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 9: to get and they see a lot of teams when

579
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 9: they're down two or three goals, somebody will go out

580
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 9: there to stir the pot. Now in the playoffs, it's different, right,

581
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 9: just that Mats Talbot right, it can it can swing

582
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 9: a game where you don't want to engage in that

583
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 9: when you're up a couple of goals or three goals.

584
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 9: But during the regular season, when you when you need

585
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 9: to make those statements again to your teammates and to

586
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 9: the opponent, it can change the game. And if if

587
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,959
Speaker 9: the Islanders had won that fight, because there was still

588
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 9: you know what was still in the balance with lots

589
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 9: of time left. They get one goal right after that,

590
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,479
Speaker 9: especially in their own building. You've seen it before, Randy, right,

591
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 9: you've seen it. All of a sudden, they've got gassed,

592
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 9: They've got juice right off of that one fight. But

593
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 9: it didn't go that way to the Islanders. It was

594
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 9: the other way. Their guy ended up on their back

595
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 9: and the Penguins got the juice and they kept.

596
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 3: On keeping of the two nine filo pens over the

597
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 3: Red Wings last night, five to one. It's been a

598
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 3: hell of a run here for them. Amazing that they

599
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 3: were able to stay alive on that stretch without sitting

600
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 3: Gino come back, have a little bit of a dip

601
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 3: where they put themselves in a now you have to

602
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 3: situation and.

603
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 4: Then they have to really did they have to? Yeah?

604
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 3: They did it, and they did it in entertaining fashion.

605
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 3: Tomorrow Tampa Bay, seven o'clock, the two niner. Porkie, you're

606
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 3: great on the television. You're doing TV, You're doing radio tomorrow.

607
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 3: What's your assignment?

608
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'll be doing I got one more TV game.

609
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 9: They'll be the game in New Jersey next week. Other

610
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 9: than that, radio the rest of the way in the

611
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 9: regular season, all.

612
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 4: Right, buddy, great job between the benches.

613
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 9: Uh in New Jersey probably not usually between the benches

614
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 9: or for home games.

615
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 4: Mikey, Yeah, you can't be an enemy territory between the benches.

616
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 9: No, Oh, I would love I would love it. I'll

617
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 9: be honest with you. I would That's that's where you

618
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 9: want to be. There's nothing better. I'll tell you a

619
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 9: quick story. I know we're run out of time here.

620
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 9: One of the best trips ever was by Wendell Young

621
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 9: skating off the ice when we finally, you know, broke

622
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 9: the streak of fifteen years losing in Philadelphia, and I

623
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,479
Speaker 9: was skating off the ice with Wendell Young here as

624
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 9: our winning goalie. And this guy was just absolutely Wendell
