00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: All of those things are true. So while Canada continues

22
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: to spend the twenty four hours after losing the gold

23
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: medal game to the United States in a state of bitterness,

24
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: like they need a darkness retreat, like you know, dude,

25
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: you guys need McKinnon, Cooper, you guys, all all the

26
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: pundits all that you guys got to go on a

27
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: darkness a treat and just come out of it saying, Hey,

28
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: I've come to grips with the fact we lost the

29
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: gold medal game and I'm not gonna complain about three

30
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: on three. I'm not gonna complain that we were the

31
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: better team and we'd lost, like it's the first time

32
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: we've ever played a hockey game before. If you guys,

33
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: did you take Aaron Rodgers? Should take them on a

34
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: darkness street with him. But I'll tell you what, you

35
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: got two things that you can take away. They get

36
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: the huggable lovable mascot plushy right, that gives you a

37
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: little bit of a consolation, uh, something to hug, choke

38
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: whatever you need to do there, and then we would

39
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: print off like he used to give CDs out or

40
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: cassette tapes. Here's Darren Waller's time to heal. Yeah, oh yeah,

41
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: I know, I know. It's like I just picture all

42
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: of Canada, like the in the one episode of the

43
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: Office where who was with Michael Scott when he broke

44
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: up with Hot We broke up with Holly for the

45
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: first time, and he kept playing that really sad song

46
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: and he wouldn't buy it. He just kept playing the

47
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: thirty seconds the freak yeah, and and Jim says, why

48
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: don't you just buy the buy the song for ninety

49
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: nine cents. He goes, don't need to, I can just

50
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: listen to it for free. And he's listening to the

51
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: thirty seconds, even the sample of it, over and over again.

52
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: That's what I'm picturing all of Canada doing. I need

53
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: to buy the song. I just want to listen to

54
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: sad song right here, and keep pressing over. Press play all.

55
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: Thirty seconds is up, Press play, thirty seconds is up.

56
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: Press play again. We're sad well. I mean he got

57
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: stage and grief right, we go through denial. I can't

58
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: believe that happened. Oh my god, it's Robert Lojah. How

59
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: did that happen? To his anger three bargaining, Yeah, I

60
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: mean the ice was too big, Yeah, he had too

61
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: much room to scape. Yeah, too big, too high for

62
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: a home, or too high, too high, too high for home.

63
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: Then you get to uh depression, and then you get

64
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: to acceptance. Yeah, but there are ways away from ex

65
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: Oh no, absolutely, like we got a long arc. They

66
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: are of Canadian bitterness and hatred to run through. No

67
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: amount of Anne Murray ballads could possibly calm them at

68
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: this point. Every time Connor McDavid goes into town somewhere

69
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: or McKinnon or Cooper, they're gonna play. They're gonna play

70
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: the Jack Hues goal in between periods, in between breaks

71
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: all the time. Maybe through I don't know, I told

72
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: you about McDavid. They're gonna play that thing all the time. Hey,

73
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: he's got an MVP. They hang a banner for his MVP.

74
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean come on, man,

75
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: yeah it's Edmonton. I mean, yeah, get the I mean

76
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: they did, you know, quote dominate most of the game.

77
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: They did, they did, they did. Yeah, they'll they'll hang

78
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: it right after they get bounced from the Stanley Cup final.

79
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: But obviously look the big iconic picture that's coming out.

80
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: And really there there's two the the hell of Bucks

81
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: save which we'll get to. The one on Taes that

82
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: just you know won the gold medal for the United

83
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: States by keeping in a one to one game. I

84
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: appreciate the McKinnon wide shot. It's always great to seeing

85
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: how open, how open is but you start doing the

86
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: calculus and how much air space is open. But man,

87
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: i'd be give I'd give that to a math class.

88
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: You calculate that. The thing is, though, is that for

89
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: the photo of it is not so great because it's

90
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: just a screen grab. But like the overhead photo of

91
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: Hellabuck with the stick out and tell I mean because

92
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: this is I can't get over how fast he was

93
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: able to get his stick in front, because it's not

94
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: like Tayze did anything wrong. It's not because you know,

95
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: he's not a you know, look as a defenseman, you're

96
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: not a goal scorer, and there are certain things like

97
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: I know, look, you know me as a goal score

98
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, you got to either go along the

99
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: ice or you gotta go up high. And what happened

100
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: was he just went up a little bit hot, because

101
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: when you're bringing the stick over, you just have that

102
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: sweet spot where if you're three or four inches off

103
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: the ice that could potentially get safe. But there was

104
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: really nothing. It was. It was Hellabuk just in a

105
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: flash getting his getting his stick out there. And I

106
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: mean it when I say that's probably the greatest save

107
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: in Olympic history. I mean I don't. I mean, look,

108
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: I want to go back to nineteen eight when I

109
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: mean Jim Craig was unbelievable, But you're talking about this

110
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: was a save that made the gold medal happen, Like

111
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: the Jim Craig standing on his head, and you go

112
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: back and watch the last ten minutes the game against Russia,

113
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: it's like, oh my god, Oh my god, that was tough.

114
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that was tough. But this was You

115
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: have a guy in the doorstep and the puck is

116
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: in the net and somehow he gets his stick over

117
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: it and it not only does it deflect off his stick,

118
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: but the angle is bad enough that it doesn't deflect

119
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: into the net like this you talk about living right,

120
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: like this is Hellabuk just hey, I got my stick

121
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: out and because that could have easily just gone off

122
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: the stick and into the net. But it goes off

123
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: the stick and then goes out the way it came back.

124
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: It was such a weird bounce. You don't usually get that,

125
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,119
Speaker 1: but that's how strong Hellabuk had a hold of his stick.

126
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: Like I don't think people understand that, Like Usually you think, oh,

127
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: the goalie gets his stick over, it deflects off and

128
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,559
Speaker 1: goes up. But the fact that that puck as hard

129
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: as as Tas is shooting it from right in front

130
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: of the net, for the fact that it hits his

131
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: stick and it bounces so far to go to go

132
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: out of it out the crease the other way, that's

133
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: the kind of that's the kind of grip that Hellibuck

134
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: had on his stick to make that happen. I mean,

135
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: he's he's incredible. Look when we talk about this, I said, listen,

136
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: Hellibuk hasn't had to be great. They just need to

137
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: be great once, right, and that's all. And he's done.

138
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: He's the best American goalie we have ever seen. He's

139
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: got everything right. He's got every He's got the plowtster

140
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: in the regular season's got the Vesna Trophy, He's got

141
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: the Heart Trophy. He's the best. He's such a big guy,

142
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: and the way he moves it's so stealth. He's never

143
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: out of position, he is never his economic of movement.

144
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: It's so so easy for him to get into the

145
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,119
Speaker 1: right spot. And and he doesn't get beat. He doesn't

146
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: get beat being out of pisity doesn't get beat and

147
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: anything other than hey, here's a big shot that deflex

148
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: and goes in. What can you do? I mean, but

149
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: to see him to move because usually his his thing is, hey,

150
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: I'm in front, and you have no net to shoot at.

151
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a big thing. Hellibuck doesn't give you

152
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: anything to shoot at. But this is where, hey, I

153
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: got to come across and make a real athletic play.

154
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: And it's so fast to get his stick over there

155
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: and make that save. I mean, I couldn't believe watching

156
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: that over and I still can't believe the fact that

157
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: the puck bounced the way it did because he had

158
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: that kind of a hold on his stick, Like that's

159
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: a that's a shot that Hey, you're trying to desperately

160
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: get over that that hits off, the stick bounces, it

161
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: goes into the net, but instead of just stick, it

162
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: bounces the other way. Physics problem. Amazing. Yeah, we'll take

163
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,679
Speaker 1: some fun with it. I'll tell you close the Jets

164
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: ever get to winning anything. Right there, absolutely dominant and

165
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: a national hero. We'll see them, uh celebrated. You saw

166
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: the post postgame celebration and a couple interviews an hour

167
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: or so later that maybe maybe you got to think

168
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: better than putting front of a camera in front of

169
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,559
Speaker 1: guys that have celebrated pretty hard for an hour really

170
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: haven't eaten at that point. I like the the one,

171
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: the one jift that's making the rounds of Quinn Hughes

172
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: asking for another beer during the conversation when he's looking

173
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: off screen, going can get another one? Hey? Can I

174
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,120

00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: Like I love that, just like hey, Like he's not

177
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: he's not saying, hey, grab me another one. He's like, hey, hey,

00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: could somebody grab another bierte another beer? I mean, I'm

179
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: talking to you. I'm talking to here when I should

180
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: be with my teammates, but I've still got my uniform

181
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: mind and everything.

182
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: Can you grab me another beer?

183
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: Okay? I got it. We're good. Yeah, just a crazy

184
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: run of circumstance and lessons on goaltending, uh, goaltending one

185
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: oh one brought to you. I mean he'll be on

186
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: masterclass right, learn how to play drums from Ringo Star

187
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: and how to have better reflexes. Cat like reflex I mean,

188
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: keep seeing all the shots now, basketball players, right, how

189
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: quick can the they catch the the falling icicle? Looking things.

190
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: It's like the sticks and the hand eye coordination. Saw.

191
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: The latest was Caitlin Clark trying to do it and

192
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: then get mad when she she tripped up. So yeah,

193
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: goaltending one oh one. How to get your cat like

194
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: reflexes activated? Now now, yes, I mean the save by

195
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: Hella book. Look, the Jack Hughes goal is incredible. The

196
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: save by Hella book makes it happen. The picture, the

197
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: overhead picture of it is amazing. But the picture that

198
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: wherewal is is Jack Hughes the big smile after losing

199
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: his teeth at the end of regulation four minute minor,

200
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: a form minute penalty that the that the Canada had

201
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: to kill off. And obviously it was only part of

202
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: it because then the United States took a penalty. That

203
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: picture of him, no teeth, bloody, the American flag over him,

204
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: like like, I agree, that's gonna wind up being the

205
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: picture of the Olympics, right, Like, that's really something. But

206
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: I got a hot take on it for you. I

207
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: got a hot take, a hot a hot take on

208
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: Jack Hughes's teeth. I'm less wow on it, simply because

209
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: when you play hockey, you understand you and your teeth

210
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: are in a temporary relationship, right, And this is me

211
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: that I played you know, beer hockey, beer League hockey,

212
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 1: and roller hockey, you know, my whole life. And I'm

213
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: lucky because I wore a mouthpiece. But I never wore

214
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: a visor because I was like, I can't stand visors,

215
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: Like I'm the wrong guy to talk to you about

216
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: being said, you're advisor. You're mad. You were mad because

217
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: Steve Spurri or beat you to it. Don't get it.

218
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: But I always wore but I always wear a mouthpiece.

219
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: But that's the thing I think hockey players like you see,

220
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: you know, people see this picture, go wow, look at

221
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: that he lost his teeth. He still came bit back

222
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: out to play. And you know we've seen this. You know,

223
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: you and I have been hockey fans for a long time.

224
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: You understand that. Yeah, people do that, they lose teeth

225
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: and come back out and play in the third period

226
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: like it's a wow moment. It's a wow moment, I

227
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: think for some people. But I see it and I go, yeah,

228
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: hockey players relationships with their teeth. They have them for

229
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: as long as they have them, and then they're not

230
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: gonna have them, and then they're gonna get veneers and

231
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna get all kinds of stuff put on and

232
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: the teeth looking great like that. That's part of the

233
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: occupational hazard of being a hockey player, is that, Yeah,

234
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: you'll have your teeth. I can't tell you how long

235
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: you'll have him for, but you maybe maybe you'll have

236
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: him until you're thirty five, Maybe you'll have until you're thirty.

237
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: Maybe I have until you're twenty five. Maybe hap um toil

238
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: you're seventeen. I don't know, but that's what's gonna happen,

239
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: because that's how it goes with players with their teeth.

240
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: Bad nutrition, sometimes drugs, but definitely hockey things that will

241
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: cost you your teeth along the way, no question about it.

242
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: And I think this just speaks to the larger idea

243
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: and something we talked about as the Olympic Games went on.

244
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 1: It's the all right, you've got your your hardcore sports people,

245
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: it's sports, sports sports. I'm sports in it up, whether

246
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm gambling on it or I just love competition, whatever

247
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: it is, right, that's what we getting around the clock

248
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: and whatever fraction of the giant viewership pie that twenty

249
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: seven rating, right, like today's the anniversary all those years

250
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: ago of the short skating cycles after the Tanya Harding

251
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: Nancy Kerrigan stuff, which drew like a forty seven or

252
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: something like that. But you look at it like whatever

253
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: percentage of people are in and on a hardcore fans,

254
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: they get it right. They understand hockey, no teeth guy.

255
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: The rest of the watching community maybe they came in

256
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: for figure skating and dabbling hockey a little bit. Maybe

257
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: they're watching curling. I mean, unless that stone goes a

258
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: muck or a guy trips on the ice, teeth are

259
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: coming out fine, right, Oh sure, So they don't necessarily

260
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 1: know the world of the hockey guy. So when you

261
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: can put it on morning television, he not only sacrificed

262
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: all of this, he worked with his brother. Look at

263
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: all of this. He sacrificed his teeth for his country.

264
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: And he immediately just said, hey, I love my country

265
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: and we've got great Dennis there too. Yeah. I mean

266
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: he'll look like Matt Dillon from Something about Mary when

267
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: he goes on teeth the falls he's off. I mean,

268
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: you do what you got to. But yeah, it's it's

269
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: just that you have so many different segmentations, uh to

270
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: the audience, and you fragment it and decide. You know,

271
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: how many people are used to hockey guy and his teeth.

272
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: How many people grew up in the third level of

273
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: the United Center watching Bob Probert getting fight after fight

274
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: or the the ubiquitous, the interminable. Uh ty DOMI coming

275
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: after you. I mean, just go out Darius Casparis and

276
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: all those guys that all they did was start fights

277
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: and get fights. Yes, there's a lot of teeth gonna

278
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: be lost there. Oh yeah, But for those that you

279
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: know are watching the other events, might have some broken bones,

280
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: might have some other things they got, but they're not

281
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: losing their teeth in the process. So maybe it's so

282
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: grizzly here. It's like, look, he'd be really cute if

283
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: he got his teeth. I actually got that for Red.

284
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: He'd be really cute if he got his teeth. That

285
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: just happened. Yeah, yeah, he's still he's still on the

286
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: ice after winning the gold medal. They'll fix his teeth.

287
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: It'll be fine, Mike. Yeah. You know, when does the

288
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: tops card with his tooth on it come out, the

289
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: actual chip tooth? You know, if that would be something,

290
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: if that's I mean, because they have done Dinosaur fossils

291
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: as part of the Allen and Ginter process before. That's

292
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: easily a million dollars. So yeah, if he sold his

293
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: tooth on eBay, how much would he get for it? Well,

294
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: if he sold the tooth, I'd put it up for

295
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: Golden auctions and I'd get I'd have logan Paul bit

296
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: on it. That'd be a great tory and chain around

297
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: his neck. It's an eight, but we'll send it two

298
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: more times. So at the time by like a million bunch,

299
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: like to just put it in perspective though, like his

300
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: trading guards, right, they put out tops had they did

301
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: this set right? They put one out every Olympic cycle.

302
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: So the autographs came out and had a cool like

303
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: almost like a Captain America shield behind at numbered out

304
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: of seventy six. A week ago autograph of Hughes sold

305
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: for forty two bucks. This morning one went off for

Speaker 1: take come on your way in a minute. But uh,

332
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: one thing that surprises me. It always does, and it

333
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: really you know you're doing some more digging on it

334
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: the last couple of days. So at the end of

335
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: the Olympics we wind up with the second most medals. Sure, right,

336
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: most goals We've ever had, not as many Olympic events

337
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: as in the Summer Games. Uh, but they keep adding them,

338
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: like we'll add more snow aboard and half pipe and

339
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: everything goes Okay, that's great, but we're still way behind Norway. Norway,

340
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: who again walks away with the most medals in the

341
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: Winter Olympics. Yeah, it's the winter I know. But here's

342
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: the thing. Winter Norway is how many people you think

343
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: live in Norway? How not as many as here? Yeah? No,

344
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: not no, not as man that's good. Not as many

345
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: as here. No, you're right about that. You are absol

346
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: right about under. Norway is the one hundred and sixteenth

347
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: biggest country in the world and fifteen that's one hundred

348
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: fifteen head of you. The them winning forty medals, right,

349
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: and half of them are in skiing by athlon and skating, right,

350
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: that that's where most of their medals are. They're not skating,

351
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: they're all skiing by half of their medals are skiing

352
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: by athlon, right, That's what it is. It sells me.

353
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: There's too many of those events. Okay, if they just

354
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: keep there's too many of those events. How many more

355
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: do we need? Jip chip chip chip, but we have.

356
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: This is like banning the tush bush. We have to

357
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: get rid of those events because they're better. No, well,

358
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: I mean, well that's essentially what you just get that

359
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 1: they're somewhere. Well, you can't listen. We just show curling

360
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: all the time. I guess we could show more of

361
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: the skiing all the time and more of this other

362
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: stuff whatever. I guess we could do it. All we

363
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: need is a Pete Weber guy to take over curling.

364
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: Norway is the one hundred and sixteenth biggest country in

365
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: the world, which sits here. Tell you is that? Boy?

366
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: How's the United States? How are we still not good

367
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: at soccer? They're the one hundred and sixteenth biggest country

368
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: in the world. Winter Olympics. Yeah, I get I get it,

369
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: I get it. But you know how many people live

370
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: in Norway? Five and a half million. Okay, this would

371
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: be the equivalent of South Carolina winning everything and being

372
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: the number one country in the Olympics. In the Winter Olympics,

373
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: everybody we do run around talking about the game cop

374
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: Five and a half more people live in South Carolina thereabouts,

375
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: the closest state to Norway, just five. So think about

376
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: that for a second. That would be South Carolina winning

377
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: more medals. But like, how does that happen? Like, I like,

378
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: we need there needs to be some kind of thirty

379
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: for thirty And just what do they do in Norway?

380
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. Is it dark all the time?

381
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: How many speed how many skating and skiing runs do

382
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: they have? Again? Five and a half million people, and

383
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: they have more medals than everybody? They have more than

384
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 1: not they have more than Italy, which has you know,

385
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: the whole metal advantage, which you always look at the

386
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: bronze medals of the home country and go wow, how

387
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: do they have so many? But I mean for Norway

388
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: to do it, there's We're a nation of three hundred

389
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: and sixty million people. We have winter all the time,

390
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: just as everybody on the East coast right now, we

391
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: got winter all the time? Right Winter's that? How do

392
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: we not have it? How are we not the number one?

393
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: How are we not ahead of Norway when it comes

394
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: to metals? Well? I don't We're not trapped under icey.

395
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: We've been playing a lot of Italent where we have that.

396
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: I mean, the emphasis on physical fitness is not necessarily

397
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: to the same levels here in the United States. I

398
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: don't know how the doors ship. There's always a thing

399
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: every four years ago. Hey, everybody's got to get in shape. Yeah, yeah,

400
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: you know, I always have that push. But I mean,

401
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: even though I and good good luck and be safe

402
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: out there to all the folks who are trapped under

403
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: let's indeed, let's just say half the one at your feet.

404
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: Let's say heah, now the country's not healthy. That's still

405
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty one hundred and ninety more. Yeah,

406
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: but then you have to make them care about these events. Okay,

407
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: so scratch off eighty five percent of them there, cut

408
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: that in half. We're still down our best athlete six

409
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: can't you getting them on skis? Cut them down? We're

410
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: still a twenty five million. But I'm just saying, take

411
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: take our best athlete to just say cut Hey, you

412
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: know what's coast where it's not where it's nice all

413
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: the time, but still a twenty million. I mean, you

414
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 1: could go escape to the snow if you want. It's

415
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: just up the road. We're still too well known. I mean,

416
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: come on, we're still twenty million people. If this was

417
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: a Sweet Tea Olympics, South Carolina would win that. I mean,

418
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: for the second time to night we can get a

419
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: Steve Spurry a reference. So no, gotta get out there, Yeah,

420
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: I gotta escape, and uh, you know my af pot

421
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: use a rifle, just getting your sights and tend to

422
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: I know, you're in a James Bond movie. Saw that

423
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: one Moon Reker moment. Girl goes down to skiing on things. Clown,

424
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: he's got it, And all of a sudden he went

425
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: and went to the moon and you beat up clowny clown,

426
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: he's got a shoulder. And then Jows was there too,

427
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: Not not the shark, but the guy nickname was Jaws.

428
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: And uh, yep, so that's up. That's what happened. That's

429
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: what happens. Yep, they're excited. I really wish he would

430
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: do more so I could continue to do my Steve

431
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: Spurry impression. Well, yeah, Jason, it's the Winter Olympics. Get

432
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: over it. Yeah, I mean, just get over it. As

433
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: as a nation. I mean, I think there's some fundamental

434
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: differences and also in terms of how sports are structured.

435
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: A lot of what you're doing there is going to

436
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: have something to do with the snow skiing, skating, et cetera.

437
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: We have to have more places where people can ski

438
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: than Norway. We have to do you know what Norway

439
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:51,479
Speaker 1: didn't do? What did Norway? Canada acid hockey? I mean,

440
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: I like going to Norway. I had a good time

441
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 1: in Norway. I'd love to go back to the Scandinavian country. Okay,

442
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: all right, how how many ski runs were there? Lots? Yeah,

443
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: but we have more thousand. The country's not been bad,

444
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: but it's it's more of the infrastructure of the sports

445
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: and leisure and time off and all of those things.

446
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: A lot of it is tied to getting out and

447
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: getting away. Not that they're not proficient at computer work

448
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: and video games. I'm sure they have their own leagues there,

449
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: no question about it. But a lot of it is

450
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: you're outdoors. Having traveled a few times to the Scannadadian country,

451
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: there's an awful lot of folks that are just walking

452
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: for the hell of it. Folks don't do that here.

453
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: The very small resentage do that here. But we're still

454
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy million people okay, but I need

455
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: five I need five million of them dedicated. The United

456
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: States is twenty five times larger than Norway. Norway is

457
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: the size of Montana, with five and a half million

458
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: people in the size of Montana. So now we got

459
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: their winnates that we don't normally talk about on the

460
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: radio Montana and South Carolina. I mean I don't understand,

461
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: I mean how is how is? I don't understand how

462
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: they're able to go? Like, how do we not decide? Okay,

463
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna be graded by athlon and skiing, we're gonna

464
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: have more. We can't get people to commit to being

465
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 1: great at math or being able to write a coherent sentence.

466
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: Now now we're gonna put them on skis and skate

467
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: drive through. Why would you need math and coherent sentences

468
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: if you could ski like some of these people do.

469
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: Come on, why don't we have at least one person

470
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: that can do the the uphill all the way on

471
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: the skis That one dude that's death defying. That guy's

472
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: an ex man. We have really high altitudes in the

473
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: United States. Someone can't train, and all our parents walked

474
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: up hills the Parent Olympics where parents walk up people

475
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: walk both ways uphill on this race. I mean you

476
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: want to do that? Just say, hey, you know what,

477
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: You've got a year's subscription to the San Diego Zoo,

478
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: but you have to go. And there's certain parts of

479
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: the park that have huge ramp ups. You have to

480
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: walk those at least four times a day. We're getting

481
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: in shape for four years from now. I mean, I don't,

482
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't get how Norway is able to

483
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: continually do this winter. It doesn't matter. Again, five million

484
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: people live there does matter. Though. You got months of darkness.

485
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: So once you get to see the light, what are

486
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: you doing. You're going outside, babe. But if you have

487
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: months to not being able to go outside, we go

488
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: outside all the time here. We got lights on everything.

489
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: The last time you were outside, I'm outside all the time,

490
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 1: you kidding. I'm on the way to that drive through

491
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 1: every time. What are you talking about? You have may

492
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: times a day. I gonna take my dogs out for

493
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: a walk. Come on, And I mean realistically, it's not

494
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: a euphemism, gonna take dogs out for a walk all

495
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: the time. Were you running up that hill? No, you

496
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: weren't running up there. Put skis on me. I could

497
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: wind up training. I mean, really, how do we do

498
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: that with me? I did that once? I hated it?

499
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: How do we ease my knees were just awful after

500
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: like two runs? Wait, I'm don't we should be able

501
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: to do you know what Normay didn't do? What did

502
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: Norway do beat Canada's acid hockey? Sure? Now listen, this

503
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: is where I'll give you a hot take here, because

504
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: this is something that I wanted to wait twenty four

505
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: hours on and I wanted to go back and watch

506
00:23:54,480 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: it again. The first period of United States Canada might

507
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: be the best period of hockey I have ever seen.

508
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: You know. They talked a little bit about in the

509
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: broadcast how fast it was and the guy and absolutely right.

510
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: But the way the United States came out so incredibly

511
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: fast off the top to own the first couple of

512
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: minutes to let Canada know, hey, we're not easing into

513
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 1: this game. And the pressure that Canada put the United

514
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: States defensively, they played so unbelievably well the entire turn.

515
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: Right didn't give up a power play goal, right killed

516
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: off a five one for Canada to put that much

517
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: pressure on the United States up and down the ice,

518
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: and I think Connor McDade. I think the McDavid McKinnon

519
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 1: Celebrini line I think double shifted from the beginning of

520
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: the game, because every twenty seconds, I'm like, well, there's

521
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: McKinnon's line, there's McDavid out there again. They're out there again.

522
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: How they out there again? Like they did Tom and Ice.

523
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, these guys have been out there for forty

524
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: five minutes tonight because they were training in the higher elevation.

525
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: That was such a high level of play. There was

526
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: no respite, there was no rest, there was no even

527
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: when the teams changed on the fly, it was still

528
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: both teams were in attack mode. It's almost like, remember

529
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: that people talk about the first beginning of the Hearns

530
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: Hagler fight being the best fight I ever saw, when

531
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: they both came out just started beating the crap out

532
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: of each other right when. There was no easing into

533
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: the game, none of it. Like you go back and

534
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: watch some of the other Olympic games and go, wow,

535
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: that seems like it's being played at half speed. But

536
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: that first period of the United States and Canada, I mean,

537
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: I don't know that I've seen a better played period

538
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: of hockey between two teams, because just the fact that

539
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: the how Canada was able to make the US defense

540
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: bend and where they hadn't bent the entire tournament. It

541
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: was all Ben don't break, Ben don't break, and boldly

542
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: to have that individual effort for a goal to give

543
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: the United States the lead early, Like the energy and

544
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: how fast everything was going. I mean, I don't know

545
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: that I've ever seen a better period of hockey. I mean,

546
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: there's been big, exciting overtime periods, third periods when when

547
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: teams are trying their best to score and you see

548
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: a lot of big shots, but both teams up and

549
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: down the ice like that, I don't know that I've

550
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: seen anything better. No, it was fun to watch. Obviously

551
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: I was on air and during the first period we're

552
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: kind of doing the the check ins, but certainly my

553
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: eyes af fixated and watching the action as it's flowing.

554
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: BOLDI with the goal and immediately the flood on social media.

555
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 1: Here's the bar whereas mom works and just overrun with people,

556
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: and the explosion when the puck hit the back of

557
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: the net just absolutely incredible. But all of that early,

558
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: early rising and gathering for the game added to it.

559
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: Right because I'm following that as the we're getting close

560
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: to the puck drop, but that that first period and

561
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden really shifts towards Canada. And

562
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: this is where they make their argument of we played

563
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: a better game, like sure you just didn't dent the

564
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: net but that once. But it doesn't matter. I mean,

565
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: in the end, you you got your plushy and your

566
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: second place prize. Can you engraduate you don't get your

567
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: Oh should have been a gold medal medal, no silver metal.

568
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: If you want to give yourself an Ada boy for

569
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: the extra shots on go great. If you want to

570
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: say would it should have? Could it? Because I saw

571
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: someone did the expected goals based on the way the

572
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: game played and the opportunities presented. It was like one

573
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: point ninety six for the US and nearly six for Canada,

574
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: which means you really got got you got got you

575
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 1: got right? I mean, if it's that that heavy and

576
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 1: we talk about, you know, defense, and we do this

577
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: with the NFL, right, all the different statistics to try

578
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: to figure out DVOA and all this other stuff. That's

579
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: what they did for the chances that Canada had to

580
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: show you how good hell the book was in that game,

581
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, that's six, Yeah, print that, put that

582
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: on your wall. That's great, but the final score has

583
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: to go alongside it. Yeah, I mean really for Canada,

584
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: just that they can't take the l They just can't.

585
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: It's it's awesome. They're so upset, they're so pissed. Well,

586
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: they should have won ten to one, but that's the right.

587
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: You have sixty minutes and you had your opportunities, ample

588
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: options like I you could say he defied physics right

589
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: number of times with the save and sprawling and reaction

590
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: to whatever. Didn't make sense, but it happened. Do you

591
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: guys know hockey? What's the biggest thing in hockey? In

592
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: elimination games? Hot goalie? Hot goalie, hot goalie, not goalie

593
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: doesn't And that's what that's Never let it go to

594
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: three on three if you're not confident in your three

595
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 1: on That's really what gets me about all of this

596
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: is the way Canada is complaining about how they should

597
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: have won. Oh, we only ran into a hot goal

598
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: like this is all new stuff, Like this is all

599
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: new stuff, Like they didn't grow up their entire lives

600
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,239
Speaker 1: playing in the NHL knowing that a hot goalie can

601
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 1: beat you at all. Like it's like all these new

602
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: all these things came up we couldn't deal with. Hey,

603
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: that guy was never met in the entire tournament. What

604
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: are you talking about? He was a surprise addition to

605
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: the old medal roster. Time now to find out what's

606
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,719
Speaker 1: trending in the wide world sports and someone who's been

607
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: called the Connor McDavid of Fox Sports Radio. No, he

608
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: has a lot of individual achievements hanging in his office

609
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: at home, but no team championships. It's Steve Desager. I

610
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: am the MVP of this Olympic tournament.

611
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 4: Ladies and gentlemen, damn right, and best forward.

612
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,280

613
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: by the way.

614
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 4: Some of the comments you're referring to coming from Canada

615
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 4: remind me of comments that we heard right after Canada

616
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 4: hosted Game seven of the World Series last year, and

617
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 4: one of the Blue Jays analysts said we were the

618
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 4: better team. They were not the better team. Can I

619
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 4: just say out loud kind of what you did. First,

620
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 4: there's a scoreboard. They actually use that to determine the

621
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 4: best team. Second, I would say the best team of

622
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 4: Game seven aside from Yamamoto's great pitching. Again would be

623
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 4: the team that homered in the eighth and homered in

624
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 4: the ninth and homered in the eleventh to win the

625
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 4: World Series.

626
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,360

742
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: to play now. Steph Curry clearly has a chance to

743
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: make it because he's still playing at such a high level. Look,

744

753
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,400

00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: if you already look and say, oh, you try to

755
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,879
Speaker 1: project ahead a couple of years. Who's gonna be playing

00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: can fit into whatever we're doing, that will get the ball,

764
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: get his buckets, but will be able to lead this

765
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 1: group of young players who have never played for a

766
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: gold medal before and now you're playing for a gold

767
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: medal on our home soil, which is the most pressure

768
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,240
Speaker 1: they will ever have been under. They're gonna need somebody,

769
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: at least one guy on that team to be the guy. Hey,

770
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: I've done this, and Kevin Durant's got eleven gold medals

771
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: from his career so far and look a couple of

772
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: times single handedly keeping us in games over the course

773
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: of his career. So yeah, if you're looking at who

774
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: the one player would be from the from the old

775
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: current team that's gonna be able to play in a

776
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: couple of years, it's probably gonna be Durant because they're

777
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: gonna want someone who's gone through it, someone who can

778
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: lead them, someone who can ay when it comes down

779
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: to crunch time. Hey, I'm a little shaky. I don't want.

780
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna pass the ball around like a

781
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,240
Speaker 1: hot potato. I'm gonna be the one to take the shots.

782
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: Because every gold medal that the United States has won,

783
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: we've gotten to a point where it was, hey, they're

784
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: feeling the pressure. You could tell not many guys want

785
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: to take the shots. But you had Steph, we had

786
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:33,280
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant, we had KD two Olympics ago. Like, these

787
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: are guys that said, give me the basketball and I

788
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: will win this gold back. I have ice water in

789
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,919
Speaker 1: every part of my body. You guys don't want the ball.

790
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: You don't want the ball, but I want it. And

791
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: obviously the late Kobe Bryant did it, and back with

792
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: I thought we're gonna lose to Spain, and he did it.

793
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: Kd's done it a couple of times. Steph did it.

794
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: Is Steph gonna be healthy, be able to play. But

795
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: he's the one guy can say yeah, of the old

796
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: guard going into play in a couple of years. He

797
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: might not start, might not play a ton of minutes,

798
00:37:58,600 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: might be the guy that comes off the bench in

799
00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter when they need buckets. But I think

800
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: Katie will be the guy on that team. You know,

801
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 1: what's funny is you go through the process and you know,

802
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 1: I follow a lot of accounts that do music history

803
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: and movie history, and we see the hey, this is

804
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: the anniversary of X Y or Z, and sometimes it's

805
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 1: just the hey, a reminder that when the Traveling Wilbury's

806
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: got together in the late eighties, here are the ages

807
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: of their members, right, It's like, and then those guys

808
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: were still touring. Unfortunately Orbison passed away, but the rest

809
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 1: of those guys were touring long thereafter. Bob Dylan's still

810
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: out on the road. Oh yeah, right, But the average

811
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: age in nineteen ninety two. You want to guess the

812
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: average age of the Olympic team was, I think, say

813
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: the average age of the traveling numberies in nineteen ninety two.

814
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 1: Forget about Jeff Lynn and Tom Betty. You bring it

815
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: down the n thirty. No, yeah, it's gonna be at

816
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: least thirty. I would say thirty two. It was twenty

817
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: eight realm in eight months, okay, okay, okay, yeah in

818
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Thirty Yeah. I mean, obviously you're gonna

819
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: skew a little bit when you add lebron and stuff whatever.

820
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: But the point being that it's skewing older. So you

821
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 1: will have one or two of those elder statesmen, because

822
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: you need to have the guy that doesn't care anymore, right,

823
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 1: the guy that's on the porch and warning you about

824
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 1: what's to come. I mean that guy that you speak

825
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: of all the time. That's him. He'll take the brunt

826
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 1: of it for you. When you don't want the ball

827
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, just give it to me. When

828
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: you don't want it, just give it to me, and

829
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: I will make sure we win. They had seven repeat

830
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: guys in the twenty twenty four campaign. Now you start

831
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: looking ahead, flag and Knipp will probably lead the way home.

832
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: Grin probably. Well, I don't I don't think Brunson's going

833
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: to make the team right now. I don't think he's

834
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: want to make Jalen Brunson's part of the old guys

835
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: already in two more years, I mean he's aged out. Yeah, well,

836
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 1: I mean you're worried, you know, you don't know where

837
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: guy's going to be health wise. But yeah, I mean

838
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: I think Jalen Brunson's lost his I mean, I don't

839
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 1: know that in two years he's going to be picked

840
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: for the team and gets to be the face, and

841
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: there's another guy you can lean on. He'll be happy

842
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: to take the shot. He won't take any credit or

843
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: blame as no, no, no no, you won't find me

844
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: after the game is over. I'm leaving. But yeah, I'll

845
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 1: take some of those shots. You know they're good. There's

846
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: gonna need to be at least one person like that.

847
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna be KD. K D will be that guy.

848
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: He and his burner accounts ready to Yeah, yeah, well

849
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: now he's got two years to build up, so he

850
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,399
Speaker 1: has more burner accounts for the games, because you need

851
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: You can't just show up with regular burner accounts, you know,

852
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: you gotta get a special next level. We fired all

853
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: their social media guys and stuff. After that happened, he

854
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 1: made trash Karen Bass, I think you're gonna say, I

855
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: think you said trash can batch like like it's the

856
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 1: Astros exit out about a Fresco exit swallowing home coming

857
