Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it's The Been and Skin Show ninety seven
point one The Eagle. You know I love music stories.
Coming up at the top of the hour in music News,
Katie has a story about one of the most popular
songs in the world that almost didn't happen. We'll give
you the details of all of that coming up here.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Oh like shooting measure, it's got to look at the clock.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
But right now it's time for this.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
No way we're doing a star story.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
That's a while. No one's all that coming up this morning.
Got this in my inbox around ten am around there. Quote.
After careful consideration, we believe that a new voice is
needed in our locker room to push us closer to
the goal of winning the Stanley Cup. We'd like to
thank Pete de Borr for everything that he has helped
with our organization. A chief blah blah blah blah blah blah.
So three straight conference finals, goes to the conference finals
(00:48):
three years in a row and gets fired relieved of duties?
Is what the what the what the pressure? He says,
relieved it his head coaching duty. How they spell duty
d U t I E s the way you would
normally spell it. That makes sense, very weird, but you
can kind of feel it going this way after he
(01:09):
absolutely took a dump over on the goalie hey during
the elimination game, yanked him after two shots and they're
down two to oh, and then you know they had
a chance to win that game if you don't like,
put the backup goalie in who's not really thinking he's
gonna play that day, all day long in an elimination game.
And then you know kind of said, hey, man, six
of seven games to Edmonton and we've lost them all
(01:31):
and just kind of put it on him. And I
don't think the guys in the locker room really liked that. No,
but this is the story with Pete de bor. We
just saw this with the Knicks and their head coaches
got fired. To Tom Thibodeau, he goes and he doesn't
stay at places very long cause he's kind of a
hard ass. I think Pete's kind of known as that too.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Did you see the uh what's his name? Sean Shapiro
said that there's no I forget how he worded it,
but nothing. Audinger did not go and come playing.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Yeah, yeah, no, it was.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
That's basically his teammates going in there and saying, hey,
this is whack.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Yes, and you know, he basically said, look, I wasn't
putting it all on him, but then he started talking
about him even more. So it seemed kind of weird.
Andre's very good. He's an All Star. You wanted to
be a little better, but he's an All Star and
he signed it through twenty thirty three.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
What's it their talk that he's the second best American goalie?
Like when they do that, you know, the world gums
with the World Games, the World Cup or whatever they
call it, where they it's halfway through the ordinations thing. Yeah,
because the guy who started was the Winnipeg goal Yeah,
and he backed that guy up.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yeah, who we beat? Right, So I don't know, very strange,
but I was thinking like, hey, there's that, and I
was like, okay, so we got shoddy. Everyone's kind of
joing about what's happening with Brian Schottenheimer is he's taking
everyone out to eat and he's playing ping pong and
we're just dapping and we're having fun making players feel good.
We're gonna talk later in the show about Jason Kidd
and how the Knick sure maybe trying to trade for him.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Man, No one's talking about the legend Bruce Bochie right now.
Because the way The Ranger lost last night and the
way they've been playing over the last month, I'm kind
of wondering they've already hired the manager in waiting, Skip Shoemaker,
he's ready to go.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
What is his story?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I'm just thinking, I'm not just a story that's an opinion. No,
I'm saying, what a Skip Shoemaker story? He was at
Miami for a long time, and he's a young guy,
and he's he's hired, and he's in the front office now, okay,
And he was hired because he will take over when
Boach he's gone, got as long as he gets along
with it.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Oh wait, what do you think about this boat?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Well? It Sky does a good job. He does a
good job, and that reality is I probably could have
been a little better, and we all got to try
to get better every day, and he could probably do
a better job than me. I think we probably should
give me a shot.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Boach, Are you a cartoon bear?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I kind of you visualize me like a bear. It
makes more sense when I'm talking, But I really am
not a bear. I'm really a man, Yeah, I'm not
a cat.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I think they should.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Consider let's go firing Bruce Bouche, Kevin Turner the hottest
sports opinions in town.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
That's incredible. Everything Pop were saying is like, Chris Young's pissed,
he's making moves, he's he's urgent. This is a built
to win now team. Yeah, the farm's not good enough
to start messing around, and you can't just you know,
really playing on the future, like this is a win
now team. And if Chris Young is that urgent, well
what's the most urgent thing you could do?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Fire an old guy that's checked out.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
So they lost last night and some of the dumb
stuff that's been happening with them, and then for whatever reason,
why at Langford won't swing at the first pitch that's
right down the middle of the plate. It's just confusing.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Did you guys go back and watch what happened on
that final play last night? Watched it live and it
was frustrating. So basically, you know, they come Texas has
the lead on the entire and the other thing's frustrating
is Simeon is hitting now yeah uh, And so basically
where the bases loaded last night? So it's a shopper
to second and the pitcher didn't get over to cover
(05:04):
first in time, and so.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Josh Smith's playing first base and tried to go, make
you play it second? What's he doing?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
So he's looking around, going, oh, hell, I don't know
where to go, and then the winning run is crossing
home plate as he too late fired. I mean, it's
just when you're losing all the time, and then that
sort of stuff happens in the bottom of the night.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I saw the night before Rocker was covering first and
he casually got over to first base, didn't get there
in time, and he's just looking around. The guy just
kept running and scored, and bast Was on the broadcast goes, well,
it looks like Rocker forgot there was a baseball game happen.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Like they sent Rocker down the next day. Dude, Bessie
is great at this role.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
So this is so good for him.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
You know, one of the things that they should consider,
because again you're talking about firing a legend shake things up.
Do you know what none of these players are expecting
that would really shake things up. A very over the top,
flamboyant gay pride celebration like they're the only team in
(06:03):
sports that doesn't do it, and so what if like
they had like a flaming hot Tuesday and like like
almost like a.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Broadway musical in between every inning like super gay. Oh,
drag Queen's doing drag bunch. Yes, I like it. I
like they're in the Savannah Bananas all right.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Coming up next in music News, why one of the
most popular songs in the world almost never happened.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
That's next.
All right, it's The Been and Skin Show ninety seven
