The Eagle Monday Night to overcasts been raining off and

Speaker 2 (00:34):
But right now it's time for this. And now it's
time for Benson's week day up Day, featuring veteran news
anchor kt fun tweets. Here are the important stories he's
currently tracking from around the world.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Yeah, there's some measles. There's been a couple shootings. Guy
gotta hit my car. Listen not let's just not today.
The big thing over the weekend that happened was Stars
beating the lunch in.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Game seven Saturday night.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Whether you like hockey or not, I think this is
probably the biggest story in DFW over the weekend because
the Stars were losing to nothing and then in between
the second and third intermission, Rob Schneider comes out on
the JumboTron and does you can do it? Is that?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
What did it?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
That is definitely what did it? And I don't think so,
but go with it, you can do it. Big moment
for our buddy Shippy, the DJ at the Stars. I
would imagine, dude, hold on, I want to say this.
I sat there.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I was actually at a brewery Saturday night down in
It's White Rock Brewing, and I'm sitting there with my wife.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
We're kind of having a date night.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
We've been bouncing around and I'm sitting there at the
bar and we watched the third period together and it's
kind of empty at this point, so I'm yelling loudly
by myself. But when they cut to the crowd and
the crowd is just going absolutely nut s bunkers, I
did immediately think of Shippy.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Mike. He's the first person I thought of.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I was like, dude, he is behind his DJ setup
right now, controlling the music with eighteen thousand people going
so insane.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
That's gotta be such an awesome rush for him.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Yeah, this is the most That game is the most
Stars I've watched all season.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
That's a good time to watch. It was awesome.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Did you feel guilty at all? I felt a little
guilty because I was like nervous going into that third period,
especially at the end when they pulled their goalie.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I was like, oh God, Oh, God of God.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
And then, like I just said, I felt guilty because
I haven't been watching the Stars because in all the
MAVs drama that's been going on.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Well, yeah, this is so guilty. This is important, like
that what she says is very important. The MAVs drama
covered up a lot of Dallas Stars Hockey's They were
really good, and they also lost the last eight games
the regular season that hurt things.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
They had a terrible stretch. Two of their best.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Players are hurt and didn't play in this series and
are coming back in the next series.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
It's hasten In and Robertson. Yeah, and they're both going
to be ready for Game one.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Yep, they'll be ready to go Winnesday. Well they think so.
I guess it's not official that they're in.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Is it here at winnipe at Winnipeg, Okay, so we need.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
To do timeline this thing real quick. January twenty fourth,
there's a guy for the Stars who had the hat
trick on on Saturday night, Miko ratting his name. January
twenty fourth, he was traded from the Colorado Avalanche. The
Stars just beat to Carolina. And the reason he was
traded is because they Colorado was like, well, we already
have a player who's a little bit better than him.
We're not gonna pay him, we think we don't want
(03:25):
to risk losing him for nothing. If you remember what
happened within two weeks of January twenty fourth around here,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Like to bring it up honestly. Mm hmm, Mavericks traded
Luca to the Lakers. Yeah, I'll say it louder for
those driving in the rain. The Mavericks trade Luke to
the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Oh so, then the March seventh deadline, a month after
Lucas traded, the Stars call up Carolina who this ranting
guy plays for, and give them the stink Oven. A
guy named stank Oven. Okay, I think he's pronounced it
stink Oven. But the snak of and goes to Carolina,
we get Ratting and then sign him.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Stank Ovan was.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Real love, by the way, No, no, no, because I
remember on that timeline I saw a bunch of Stars
people crying about it.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
They did the snanky leg. Every's heavy score. It's a
big deal.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
So put it in, uh, put it in another sports perspective, like, uh,
how how good of.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
A player is ranting in? Like if you were if
it was an NBA or NFL top twenty five player
in the league, for sure, but he's what how old?
Twenty eight? Okay, so they were just like, we don't
but in hockey they started eighteen, so right. Uh.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
But the Stars immediately signed him to an eight year,
ninety six million dollar deal, which in hockey is really good.
And that's out there with the highest paid guys, okay,
and man, it's Naji Marshall money in the NBA. So
he's he is immediately top three player for them. Uh yeah, yes,
Well maybe Robertson Hints and and Hiskin and probably what
(04:51):
about Johnston. Maybe they're a goal or yeah, maybe they're
goalie Ottinger or two. Started a lot of good players,
but here's what Colorado was doing. Colorado was like, well,
you know, we have guy who usually maybe this guy
is just playing really great because he's next to this guy.
Maybe we can you know, divvy up the team a
little bit whatever. Ranton is also very loved in Colorado,
gets involved the community, has a lot of charity work
(05:12):
things like that. He gets traded and then traded to
the Stars and they're like, Jesus, he get traded to
one of our rivals and then he did that to
them on Saturday night.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yeah, you know what, and you know what that reminds
me of. That reminds me of the way the Napoli
thing went down. Napoli got traded too. I believe it
was Toronto and then immediately flipped over to US Toronto.
I think who was it it was. He got traded
from the Angels to somebody. Well, he went to Boston
Apple the Angels to somebody and then flipped in back
with us and then he went and spanked him a
(05:42):
long time ago.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
So then why did the second team trade him?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Because they're not as good and the Stars offered them
the state, but they were just like wait, they they
wanted him.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
They acquired him and then they were like, yeah, maybe not.
Do you want conspiracy stuff? Yeh. Do you know who
owns the Carolina hockey team? Huh? I do.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
It's that guy we had on our show many years ago,
Dallas resident Tom Dundon. Okay, so who started top golf.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
So the conspiracy would be that he got him in
order to flip him.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
He hooked him, He hooked the Stars up. He's got
a special side deal going with Gallardi. That's you creating that.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I just made that up right now on the spot,
because I remember Tom Dundon was the owner of the
Carolina hockey team.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Because there's no way they would have straight up traded
him to Dallas. No, it would have had to have
been a second team, right, and then he how long
was he on that other team?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
About two months?
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Well, you know, less and less than five weeks.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Yeah, so they decided we'd rather rather than pay this
guy long term, we will take up because the Stars
gave a pretty nice package.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yeah, we gave him the stink of him two first
and two thirds, and then we got him. And then
he did that. He took it upon himself, put the
team on his back. Yep, And the Dallas Stars are
back Wednesday night in Winnipeg.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
All right, we'll talk more about that later in the week,
but coming up next Comedy Royalty Conan O'Brien is honored
and we have hilarious audio.
