Speaker 1 (00:00):
Fanis nine to Noon good stuff. Time for two more.

(00:56):
Let's meet a new nine to Noon love Covenant friend about.
Her name is Olivia Kristen King and she is the
producer and the host of Talk Goalie to Me. I believe.
The most recent edition featured Minnesota wild Immortality between the Pipes.
Devin Dubnik also a color commentator, sideline reporter and postgame

(01:17):
interviewer for Gopher women's hockey and does work with a
Youth Hockey Hub and she joins us now in studio.
Olivia and Paul Allen. Nice to meet you.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Nice to meet you, Paul, Thanks for having me.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
No problem when it comes to Youth Hockey Hub. Is
Tony something we Tony?

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yep? Tonyzzo?

Speaker 1 (01:36):
That's right? Is that the high nor? Is that the
high school guy that we have on yearly? Yeah, Tony,
Tony Scott, Tony Scott. Oh, yep, Tony where we go?

Speaker 2 (01:44):
I knew, Oh, He's going to be pissed.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah that's okay. But but it's it's you know, somebody
like me who maybe not seeing the forest for the
trees at times, but I'm a core four sports guy,
you know, the professional scene and stuff like that. Golden
Gopher's mister Mott Motsko's team. I've known Brad Frost forever.
I've known Pronger with a Ponytail, Rachel Ramsey, Taylor Heisei,

(02:07):
and so on forever. So it's it's it's not like,
you know, we completely push those things off to the side,
but it's great to have you in here to get
some context and not only hear about what you're doing,
but to hear about this podcast. Talk Goalie to me,
where can people most easily find it and what do
you like about doing it?

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah, so this podcast is on all streaming platforms. You
can go to YouTube, Spotify, Apple, all of them. But
I wanted to start it because obviously I love hockey.
I got done with the Gophers this past spring, and
I wanted to find a way to be a part
of hockey and be a part of people's stories and

(02:49):
give them an outlet to tell their story and whatever
capacity that may be. And so that's why I started it,
and I really love it.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
It has been so fun.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
I mean, two weeks ago, just like you said, I
did Devin Dubnik, who's a huge name in you know,
Minnesota sports, and then last week I did Matti Rooney,
who's another.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Huge name in Minnesota sports. So Sati, yes, exactly.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
So it's just it's so exciting to get to connect
with those people and here you know what really makes
them tick, and to connect with a bunch of you know,
listeners as well, from younger kids just learning goalie or hockey,
to families and parents to current goalies. So I just
absolutely love it. It's been such a blast.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Via x that's my only social media outlet. If there's
anything else that you would like to share, by all means,
but via x at Olivia King zero one at Olivia
King zero one and former goaltender for the University of
Minnesota women's hockey team, but also Saint Thomas. University of
Saint Thomas, I think, but Midgie is in the equation,

(03:54):
but the Gophers are in there twice, right, Yes, so
you were there, left and then came back. I find
that to be interesting because I don't know the answer.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
It's so funny.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
So I grew up in Brainerd and then I played
my undergrad at the Gophers for four years. I went
and played my fifth year with Saint Thomas, got my
master's degree, and then in law oh good.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
And then I graduated and I was retired from hockey actually,
and then the Gophers called me, or we kind of
talked around Christmas time and they had an injury and
I was like, you.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Know what, I guess I'll come back.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
What's the harm in going to play playoff hockey with
your best friends for two months? And so that's what
I did last spring, and it was very fun. I
was so blessed to be a part of two amazing
programs in the Twin Cities and to build a million
different connections in that way. So I just really loved
I was very blessed and lucky to have the career
that I that I did have in the Twin Cities.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
So what was it like playing hockey at Brainerd a
twenty nineteen grad And I mean, that's just so hockey
heavy and rich up there for men and women.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
I think it was such a blessing to get to
grow up and play with the same girls all the
way through.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
It was really really.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
Cool to have that experience, Like those girls were my
sisters at the time, and we had such an organic
relationship and it's something that I feel like Minnesota Hockey's
kind of lacking. Now, you know, people transfer, people move
around all the time, so it was nice to have
that kind of one of those last few teams that
got to go to the state tournament my junior and

(05:31):
senior year, and we got to the state championship game
my senior year, and it was one of the only
reasons I got to go play for the Gophers. I
was like quite a late ad after I graduated my
senior year. You know, Coach Johnson and Coach Frost called me,
called me up like a few weeks before I graduated,
So that was just very cool. It wasn't expecting to
even get to play college hockey, and then I got

(05:52):
to play for six years.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
If you a current member of the Brad's team, and
if she's not a current member, I apologize, but it's
ninety seven percent she is Abby Murphy. Oh yes, okay. Now,
Abby joined this radio show like one time last year.
It might have been around the NCAA tournament something like that.
But you know, I know her through Taylor Heusie and
Parker Fox and in researching Abby and just how scrappy

(06:17):
she is with what she does. If you're a goal
and you played with her, correct, Yes, Okay, So if
you were going against somebody like that who's got a
little trash talk to them, likes to crash the net,
but hopefully within the parameters of the rules. The answer
to this may be different. Now that you have a
master's in law, maybe some tentacles here you can actually

(06:38):
go after somebody. But if it was just like player
versus player, how do you handle players like that?

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Well I did when I was at Saint Thomas. I
actually played against her obviously that year for a few games,
and I would say, you got to give it right
back to him, especially since Abby is one of my
closest friends.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
That's awesome.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
When I played against her in Saint Thomas, when I
was playing at Saint it was the most fun I've
ever had playing hockey in in those few games, because
I'd make a save that she would shoot and I
would just give it right back to her, be like yep.
And we just had such a blast those games, and
then you know, a few days later, we're best friends

(07:17):
again and it's just like nothing happened. So she is
an amazing player for the Gophers, and for as long
as they're gonna have her, I mean, people need to
go watch her because she is one of the best
in the world, not just in college hockey.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
So it's so cool that she's still you.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Know, still playing college and is gonna, you know, hopefully
have the opportunity to play in the Olympics this year too.
So it's she's an unbelievable player and brings a swag
that nobody can replicate.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
What makes Taylor Heizi one of the one of the
best women hockey players in the world.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Oh, that's Taylor's mindset for sure. I mean outside of
the rink, Taylor is always thinking about hockey and how
she can propel her game.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
And she was always just the mom.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Of the group that we would always say she's very responsible.
She takes her job very seriously and that's what makes
her so good.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
And she's so level headed.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
She's always very consistent, and she's just a very cool
player and person to connect with him be around. For
that reason, she just loves hockey and lives and breathes it.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Olivia Kristen King is in studio with US nine to
Now and she does many things as her broadcasting career emerges,
but one of them is a podcast called Talk Goalie
to Me and it's the best place to learn about that,
your social media feeds or youth hockey Hub, Like what's
the best Talk goalie to me? Is the name, so
it can be searched all over the place.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
But what do you think, Yes, so I would say
if you're more of an ex person, then it's through
youth hockey hubs, Twitter, and then if you're more of
an Instagram person, maybe more around my generation, then I
do have my own handle for that my podcast as well,
which is just talk Goalie to Me on Instagram. So
it just kind of depends on which you'd prefer. But

(09:08):
I'm definitely more of an Instagram TikTok person.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
When you were in high school or when you were
let's say, when you started playing hockey middle school, high
school up to the dreaded pandemic, and then into college,
how important did you find it as a goalie or
not playing against the boys.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Well, I grew up when I was little, I played
with the boys, and then all the way honestly through
like tenu and up all the way through high school,
I played I played girls, and then I grew up
obviously with brothers, so we would go be on the
outdoor rink with the guys.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
That's what I mean.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
More on the side, yes, just for fun, And I
will say the men's game in the women's game obviously
is very different, I think for great reasons. I think
you watch, if you get to watch both play, you
learn so much in different ways. And just like playing
against the boys in the backyard, it was it's good
to have fun and feel that physicality, but playing against

(10:09):
the girls in the backyard, I think it's good to
be able to see that skill up close and learn
all these different moves and what they're gonna do and
be able to anticipate those.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
So I think obviously the.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Male game has a bunch of skill in it as well,
but in the women's game, you're able to showcase it
a little bit more, especially on the college level where
the physicality is maybe just a little bit less, you know,
there's no checking and.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Stuff like that. So that's definitely what I would say.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
And with girls of my generation, I think you're seeing
it more where they did only play girls all the
way through. You know, maybe someone who's ten years older
than me, they played boys until they played college, or
they played boys until they played late high school.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
You mean, oh, that's right, like organized, yes, And the
reason I can't remember the young lady's name, Holy Cow.
My daughter went to Holy Family. And Randy Keppel is
the girls hockey coach. He's he's you know, he's one
of my neighbors. And so therefore his daughter Taylor, who's
not playing hockey now she's a Wisconsin but she played,
and so therefore they were good. And they would play

(11:15):
some scrappers from Minnetonka, and I'd go to most of
the games and stuff. But there was a goalie who
who like the eighth the eighth grader playing you know,
with the seniors and stuff. I mean, that's yesterday's news,
has been happening forever, but would play against boys or
with the boys. I was like, Holy Cow, I mean
completely holding up to you know, I'm just saying the
development you can get by playing, even if it's not

(11:38):
going to be super physical, But there's a natural human
nature intimidation factor that's there too, that builds confidence, I
would imagine. Is that accurate?

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Oh yeah, And I think some of the best girls
goalies have played boys high school. I mean Matti Rooney
played boys high school at Andover and completely dominated went
to Duluth. Yep, and she went and played at Duluth.
She went played in the last Olympics, won a gold medal. Yeah,
and then you know now she plays for the Minnesota
Frost and has won two Walter Cups. So I think
there's definitely space for girls to play boys hockey, especially

(12:10):
at the high school level. But I'm definitely an advocate
for playing girls hockey unless you are absolutely dominating the
Minnesota State High School League. Yeah, because you know there,
I feel like, yes, the boys have a faster release,
and the boys shoot harder, and you definitely can go
over there and develop. But if you're going to go
over there and sit on the bench, then I don't

(12:33):
know what's the point, you know, So why wouldn't you
play girls hockey?

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Yeah, we're we're gonna need to do this again because
there is there are just a bevy of questions that
I want to get into, and I find this to
be quite fascinating. But just just just to land the
plane here. We've heard and I can't remember exactly where
it came from this week, but the importance of playing
more than just one sport. So I find like, oh,

(13:00):
it was Chase beorguard running back for a DYNA high school.
Father's the general manager at Metropolitan Ford, been a friend
of mine for a decade plus. Well, they win the
state high school football they win the highest level of
football high school tournament, and chasing his dad come in
studio a couple of mondays ago. Well, he's also a
goalie for the Dyna high school team and a baseball player,

(13:22):
and it's good at all of them. So it's the
importance of at some stage playing other sports. What's your
read on that.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
I am a huge advocate for multi sport athletes. I
think the one thing that people should take out of
being a multi sport athlete is how less prone you
are to injury, because if you're playing multiple sports, especially
like all the way through high school, well you're not
getting injured as much. And I feel like you see
a lot of kids go into college and in their

(13:53):
early years of college when they're playing one sport, go
from playing three sports to playing one sport, and then
they're having these injuries happen because they're not moving their
body in the same ways and they're not able to
build that muscle in like different ways. So I think
playing multiple sports is amazing, especially for kids.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
And I think that all the way through high school.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
I mean I played three sports all the way through
high school as well, and it's fun. I mean it's
fun to have a fun sport. And soccer was that
for me in high school. I was able to go
out there and be competitive but also have fun and
connect with different people as well and make those emotional connections.
And I still have friends that I played high school

(14:34):
soccer with.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yeah, Maddie Kaiser played with Holy Family when my daughter
was there, and I think she plays for Brad now
still yep, and super Scrappy. I mean, it's just there's
just that. I mean, God will gift you with certain
things that others don't have, but you still there's still
a level of work that needs to go into the
cultivation and it's just great to see people achieve at
that level. Lastly, with your podcast, talk Goalie to me,

(14:58):
what do you like about doing and you know, just
if you listen back to it or you have those
who are listening to it for you and coaching you
and stuff, what do you hear about it that you
want to improve and you feel has a chance to
maybe you know, splash via YouTube or whatever kind of
a big level.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah, I love being able to give obviously people an
outlet to tell their story.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
But I'm definitely still improving it.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
I think I've had six episodes so far, and you know,
I'm still new to.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Interviewing and doing all that stuff. So definitely, like.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
My follow up questions, I try to stay on on
pace and like on brand sometimes, but sometimes a little
bit of nonsense gets kicked in there.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Maybe you know.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
It's it's fun, and I think it depends on the
person who's listening, but it would be nice sometimes to
be able to kind of bring it and reel it
back into hockey and goalie. But it's fun, I think
to get to know the person as well on a
personal note maybe and you know.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Outside of the rink. So I think sometimes I can
be good.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
But yeah, it's definitely it's definitely been It's definitely been
fun and it's good to get to meet different people,
and for me, it's good to you know, learn how
to connect with people I maybe don't know yet and
I'm not super super familiar with.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
So is broadcasting something you want to do for a career?

Speaker 2 (16:24):
It is?

Speaker 3 (16:25):
I I do obviously plenty of different things, but I
do want to kind of kickstart my broadcasting and it's something.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
That I really love to do because it's.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Like game time yea, and you know, I don't get
that anymore since I'm not playing in games.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
And I mean I even call my dad.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
After my first broadcast with the Gophers, I called him
right away and I was so happy and so excited,
and he hit me with the you could have done this,
he should have said this, you should and it was
just like I was back to playing again, and it
was so funny because I never thought i'd have that
conversation with him ever again.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Yeah, and it's great.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
He just it was so funny.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
I was like, Dad, I need a minute, just I
need a minute to be happy for myself.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
I'll call you in five minutes. And he was right.
And so it's nice to have something to practice and
improve on.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Again.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
That's terrific. Great meeting you. Let's stay in touch and
let's do this again. Okay, sounds good.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Thanks Paul.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
See yah, that's Olivia Christen King via x. It is
at Olivia King zero one and that was a fascinating conversation.
Back after that, if you missed the opening of Nine
to Noon. I feel fired a fairness and disclaimer act.
I'd like to do it again. Sultan, good morning, good morning, Wobble,
good morning, Good morning, sir. What have we done? Seriously,

(17:39):
what have we done? The eleven fifteen We have invited
the wolves into the henhouse. The darkness has been welcomed
with open ears, and the light has no response. The
Sultan and the columnists. The eleven fifteen the border battle
of a different variety, involving a football team that didn't
permit us as in the Vikings a touchdown and another
that sent women in and into hiding with a single

(18:01):
kick return. We are scratching and clined for even a
first down as they gloat while working their way to
the promised land of the playoffs. What have we done?
It was permitted because I know what I see when
watching YouTube shorts. People love to see others arguing and
fighting and tearing each other down. That's why the idea

(18:22):
was crafted. The hope is nine to Noon Kfan and
iHeart would greatly profit off the victory all shared between
two who embraced the darkness. Now I'm having regrets. This
was at nine o'clock this morning, and just to sit
back and listen to the smug Sultan and the chartling
columnists rave about their packers and bears and the seventeen

(18:42):
wins against six losses and a tie. You know, we're
going to catch strays Vikings fans along the way. And
when we catch strays of Braggadocia's evil, our purple loving
listeners feel the pain of said strays. We welcomed the
darkness into the Covenant and did so with open ears
for the profit of our kings and rulers and principalities.

(19:07):
And now it's too late to turn it around. We're sorry.
Please forgive us welcome. Boys. Where do we go from there?
That's like we've never been in this building before. Yeah,
that wasn't for you. That was for the listeners. Where
it's Thursday, and you know, really, with all due respect
for at least one time, for three days, I have

(19:28):
told Vikings fans that if you're not listening now and
the people meter goes to an all time low, I'm
okay with that, because people grieve and hurt in different ways.
I did originally craft this idea for the assumption of
the massive profit of those listening for iHeart and the
Kings and rulers and principalities, and to take a segment

(19:49):
and a half off. But the bottom line is we
got a couple of really really good teams playing this weekend. Yeah,
really good teams playing this weekend. And it's three twenty
five at lambeau Field. So this is a border battle
of a different variety. And we have a trivia bit
coming up for you about fifteen twenty minutes from now.
Bears and Packers three twenty five, Packers favored by six

(20:11):
and a half Lavelle first and foremost six and a half.
You say, what do you think of that? Six and
a half point spreading? Good morning?

Speaker 4 (20:17):
That was similar to the point spread last week when
the Bears went in the Philadelphia and then shoved back
against the City of Brotherly Shove.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
So we used to be an underdogs now so we're
for thirty years you've been under Doug.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
We've embraced We've embraced it, we're living in it. We've
embraced the underdog role. What else do you possibly do?
We're gonna come in barking and barking and lifting the
hind legs and barnating on the on Lambell Fielding Sunday.

Speaker 5 (20:42):
Got a real good history there, don't you. Yes, it
was always like eighteen out of twenty wins.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
I think for the package one last year Lambo.

Speaker 5 (20:49):
Okay, so Love gets knocked out in the second quarter
and you're able to walk us off in a game
we don't even care about.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Okay, you beat Malik Willis for al.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
You had a chance to play Washington in the first
round in the postseason and did not.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Would you draw Philadelphia? We only like to play the
best Washington. We're gonna waste that time. We were hoping
we get the Eagles. This phenomenal hold on. This has
to be the Steve's Appliances Marathon segment. It's phenomenal. Steve's
Appliance is Steve's Appliances dot Com hit shop deals. You
will find deal after deal after deal Steve's Appliances. We

(21:21):
love you work with Brian and Sarah mentioned nine to
Noon and even the Border Battle and maybe save even
a little more fast delivery, free recycling, guaranteed low prices,
Steve's Appliances dot Com. Sinny, what do you have to
say about everything he said about that six and a
half point dog status?

Speaker 5 (21:37):
Do they have freezers of Steve appliances because the Packers
are gonna put the pairs in the deep freeze on
Sunday in a very cold lambeau Field.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
Come on, now here's the deal.

Speaker 5 (21:44):
The Packers have unquestionably the best player on both sides
of the ball. They have a quarterback who is in
Toyota than season where he throws touchdowns and doesn't throw
picks year after year. I saw this stat this morning.
I thought it was kind of interesting. Caleb Willilliams ranks
fortieth out of forty two qualifying quarterbacks and adjusted completion
percenters that takes an account drops. He's one spot right there,

(22:08):
one spot behind JJ McCarthy and ahead of only Jellen
Gabriel and Davis Mills.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Jordan Love is fifth, by the way.

Speaker 5 (22:16):
So you got the best quarterback and the best defensive
player on one team and the other team's got a
bunch of guys that led the feast off turnovers.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Green Bay doesn't turn the ball over.

Speaker 5 (22:26):
In fact, green Bay over the last six years has
had eighteen zero.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Turnover division games. That's best in the NFL.

Speaker 5 (22:33):
Got you they have a lot of wins, They've got
the fewest turnovers in the league this year, and of
course the Bear's feast on turnovers. So if you think
you're going to turn the ball away to get your
little precious little w at Lambeau, guess again.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
Reesency Bias says that's going to happen.

Speaker 4 (22:47):
You're going to get turned over, and wow, you're you're
throwing out. Jordan Love is the best quarterback on the
field by far. Jordan have a ninety two percent passer
rating in the fourth quarter? Is Jordan Love have one
hundred and thirty nine passer rating with four me is
left to go and trailing in the fourth quarter? Yeah,
don't let the game be close in Lambeau in the
fourth because Caleb is gonna come over your clock.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
Max points. I put down five points. I knew we'd
only get to three. We might get to four, but
three sounds like more than four right the second point? Uh,
And let's see. Lavell goes first on all of these responses.
Why because his team is first in the NFC. They're
a top the NFC at nine and three. Okay, I

(23:33):
can argue it. Geez, who's a big cheese inn FC? Yeah,
sh rumble, she say, who Leavell? Who has the best
head coach, and why Ben Johnson or Matt Lafleur.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
Well, if I'm not mistaken with Ben Johnson was hired,
and you know bears hirings have a history of saying
prophetic things. Lovey Smith when he was hired, we're going
to beat Green Bay, PA. When he was hired, We're
gonna take the North and not look bad, which we're
taking right now.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Taking haven't played my squad yet.

Speaker 4 (24:06):
When Ben Johnson took the job, he says, I enjoy
beating Matt Laflour twice a year.

Speaker 5 (24:10):
That's what coaches do. They spot off their little nonsense
after your your coach, How does he beat Mat Lafloor.
He's an offensive coach. Laflour is an offensive coach. He
beat our defensive coaches. That was such a lame thing
to say.

Speaker 4 (24:21):
Yeah, but he with Detroit, he's five to one against
Matt Flower, so I think he's got stats of back
that up.

Speaker 5 (24:27):
With sir okay. I mean, if la Floor was a
defensive coach, I might listen to it. But he has
never even met laflor.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
It was just.

Speaker 5 (24:35):
The bit that's the top priority to play to the
fan base when they get hired. Is we're going to
beat the Packers and eventually it might happen.

Speaker 4 (24:43):
It happened last years a bunch of times.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
He didn't say, you beat them.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
And what's happened is Ben Johnson says, Ben just left Detroit.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
What's happened? They've lost twice to the Packers.

Speaker 5 (24:56):
The Lions have the correct I can't arget any of that,
but they also Bene hasn't faced based ahead coach yet,
so j is the answer. That's why he's changed the culture.
He's got belief all over.

Speaker 4 (25:07):
Alason Hall, I'll tell you what he's dot Cockle eating
free hot dogs, David reading between the lines here and
looking at your countenance even though it's radio or is
it audio, but nevertheless it is what it is.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Is I can't wait till Sunday. I don't think you're
super like over the top on Matt Laveloor.

Speaker 5 (25:22):
I'm not.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
I'm not.

Speaker 4 (25:23):
I kind of sense that. Yeah, I just be realistic here.
I just don't like he was being asked about his
job security earlier in the season.

Speaker 5 (25:31):
When I listened to your two coaches in the locker room.
When I hear your coaches in the locker room after
a big win. They sound more like coaches than my
guy does. My guy feels like an imposter sometimes when
he's talking about game balls and everything. But the point
is he's like the fastest coach to seventy wins in
Super Bowl era history. All he does is take his
team to the postseason. Your coach hasn't coached in December yet.

(25:52):
In meaningful and meaningful.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
Football game fairness and kindness act, I will throw us
out here the floor. I'm sorry, flower is twenty and
four and just numbers since he's taken over with Green.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
Bay fairness and kind of SACHNRDO. Well, I'm curious. I'm curious.

Speaker 6 (26:05):
We're talking about lafleur and job security and all of this,
and you've done a lot lavelle in the last handful
of minutes to put the pressure on the floor in
the Green and Gold.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
But there's a very fleeting pressure put on a Sunday too.
There's a.

Speaker 6 (26:18):
Right, there's a very fleeting aspect to this season as
it pertains to the Bears and the new coach and
the magic and all the beauty. Don't of an oblong
ball bouncing in your direction every possible way that it
can and uh, you know, Sinny and I were talking.
I mean, this is a matchup of a team that
never turns the ball over that's his squad, and your

(26:41):
team that just takes the ball away at will anytime
they want it.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Who's got the better side of that? This weekend?

Speaker 4 (26:47):
They haven't been hit, tackled, or defended by the Bears,
so they don't know what it's like to actually play
against a defense.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Defense.

Speaker 5 (26:55):
If those guys was the last time Caleb Williams played
in sixteen degree weather?

Speaker 1 (27:02):
You know what what I'd like to know.

Speaker 4 (27:04):
You know what Kayla's gonna do when it's twelve degree.
Defense has been injured the entire season. We've been all year.
Our secondary is back, Jayalen Johnson's back, Corden's back.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
We get that lockdown now.

Speaker 4 (27:17):
Passing game he's facing will have any linebackers, but it
has not stopped the Bearrison when.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Will last on a Super Bowl winning passing game? Cannot
catch strays? Have you seen their offense? This is I
don't care if they push a button and it may
just shut everybody up. But so this is not about them.
It's not about McCarthy, it's not about us. It's about
go ahead. Continue. I'm sorry, go ahead.

Speaker 5 (27:39):
I don't put some respects on the I would just
say stop touting your defense at ranks at the bottom
of the league in every metric.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
If you throw taking out of the you're.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
Missing two important stats with the Bears defense, third down
efficiency and red zone defense.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
We won't get the third. You will.

Speaker 5 (27:56):
I'm not worried about that. A border battle the last
few weeks. There's something about the Bears, PA. It's it's
a much more hated rival. Something about the Bears that
brings it out.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
You have a quick twitch rip, a plus response for everything.
I'm very caffeinated by now. He's very and he's insecure
about this game. Why not?

Speaker 4 (28:16):
And you know you're insecure about this The Bears a
flying high down and I can't do anything wrong. The
pulling games out of the rear ends. They pull out
four four to comebacks. They got all the intangibles in
their favor, and you think this Lamba feeds suddenly is
going to be the arena.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Where all this is gonna end.

Speaker 5 (28:32):
Intangible to play feel in December Hovel, I'm sorry, it's
nuts and bolts football. We've got a much better packer
defense against a young offense that granted the offensive line
looks legit.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
They're going to try to run it. I'm not going
to dispute that.

Speaker 5 (28:46):
And they're gonna try to run the ball fifty times.
And we lost DeVante Wyatt and our defense is not
the same without them, and that's actually gonna affect Michael
Parsons as well. When Dante Whytt is not there to
take on blocks. See, we will get Quay Walker back
and run the blast and running down your throat.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Practice yesterday, it's David, go ahead, David, Well, first of.

Speaker 5 (29:06):
All, your your nice young running back didn't practice yesterday
with an ankle.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
Socting correct, it's Wednesday. But it's got to be a
little bit of a concern.

Speaker 5 (29:15):
We're in a three game winning streak where we haven't
had Josh Jacobs most of the time. Kway Walker's half
of our receiving corps there suddenly gave a little help
in every game. Jayden Reid's coming back, Matthew was coming back,
so Watson is suddenly a big save.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Golden, what has he done is a rookie.

Speaker 4 (29:31):
I still remember you having a third leg on drafting
when you guys took Golden and what had he done
this year?

Speaker 5 (29:36):
Well, last year at Texas, nobody heard of him until December.
So you know what, Golden's gonna make his plays when
they count.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
We've been happen was a little stretch. I'm not I
would have liked to have seen more from Golden by now.
I'll grant you that. I'm not throwing him out with
the trash. He'll make some big plays.

Speaker 6 (29:54):
He's last fight watching the answer though, I mean three
touchdowns last three games, like love is locked in on
that K.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Watson. He's like the Anthony Davids of the NFL. He's mister, okay,
hold on, who has the best receiver, single receiver? And
why is it Watson or Dobbs or is it a
Dunees or more? It's not even close? Are you serious?
Right now?

Speaker 5 (30:14):
Oh, Dunzi can't even get a target from Caleb right now.
They don't have receivers on that team. They got touchdown
the last eight games. For Christian Watson is a playmaker.
He's he's making moss like catches in the end zones
that size and that speed and those.

Speaker 4 (30:28):
Watson training room is a playmaker because he's only in
there trying to get service he is smith.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
The best receiver on the football field this Sunday is not.
DJ Moore would crush your receivers. If he was in
Green Gold, he would crush it. Who would Dj Morewood
five years ago? Maybe?

Speaker 5 (30:47):
I mean this is twenty twenty five, baby, this is there's.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
Nothing to sneeze now. Caleb Williams, Yes, his his passing
accuracy needs to improve. He needs to hit more the
layups he's averaging was it fifty eight print? Three percent
is a completion percentage, right, but the.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Bears are eight.

Speaker 4 (31:03):
No, when he completed a few to sixty percent of
his passes for some weird reason, when he's completed over sixty,
they've lost.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
So are you professing be bad to win? I'm not
professor of just saying his facts. It's the truth.

Speaker 5 (31:14):
It's been going on this year. God, their best chance
is to not put the ball in Caleb's hands. They
get fired up trying to run the ball. That's your
only chance to win a game, ball and Caleb's hands
in the fourth quarter. Because he wins. Okay, because he wins,
he gets it done. You keep overlooking at all.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Got it done?

Speaker 4 (31:30):
And if you can go into Philadelphia and win on
Black Friday. With that type of crowd, they're gonna they
came in Friday.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
I have to do with it.

Speaker 4 (31:38):
Oh, it's a special day. It's like a marquee game.
There's only game in the league that year, that day.

Speaker 5 (31:41):
Right, Michaeh Parsons has faced the Bears once in his life.
He scored a touchdown. I remember that game, all right.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Let's pause. David Sennek and the Sultan of smug Green
Bay Packers LaBelle Neil the third column to start tribute
in Chicago Bears. It's a border battle of a different variety.
We're chatting it out and order and not just sitting
back and making me sad, hopefully ringing the metaphorical register
for the Kings, rulers and principalities of iHeartMedia or is
it audio or is it radio? But we have some

(32:11):
trivia questions to fire at them, and then we'll land
the plane on this whole bit up. Cut cut until tomorrowball.
We can't wait until tomorrow. It's the Friday football Feast
to Buffalo Wild Wing Savage stop. I say hello, and

(32:31):
that the lea tomorrow will assuming Let's crash it. Let's
crash it. Yeah, let's takeover serious feast takeover. Well, Engineer
Jared just informed me I will have a wireless mic,
so I will be out in the crowd. And if
you guys happen to be in the crowd and you
catch my eye or put your hand up, yeah, you

(32:53):
probably would join the radio show care so inclined.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
But that's why we have today see an interview fans
now with the forty No, it's not an everyew No.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
I do vikes bites in the crowd. Okay, so nor
does Vike s bites four days a week, and I'm
always one answering questions. Sometimes I don't want to answer questions,
so I have others answer questions and I take bikes
bites out into the crowd.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
I'm saying, crowdsourceing this way four and eight can be interesting,
which is kind of why we're doing what we're doing today.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
And also, in a roundabout way, I like the passive
aggressive nature of showing people, Hey, talking into this thing
ain't as easy as banging on that keyboard, is it.
So you got all these big opinions and big thoughts
and everything, but like when you get a chance to
voice them and people actually can see her here. It's
a little different. So I can't say at eight and

(33:41):
four I would have that mindset. But I understood it.
I mean I scored a touchdown and eight quarters, like
you almost started it. You started it, the chickens continued it,
and it's not about us. Let's move on.

Speaker 6 (33:55):
You want to talk into the mic about the GM,
Here you go, here's your opportunity.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
Yeah, here's Olivia from Olivia from Savage. Hey, Olivia, what's
your Twitter handle? Blah blah blah. Oh wow, look at
all this about Quacy. Oh geez, look at all this
about JJ and say it into the mic. Yeah, crickets. Yeah,
see what I'm saying Now I'm starting to get mad.
All right, like I almost did about aggregators earlier today.
What a world? Anyway, I have five trivia questions for you.

(34:23):
Your name is the buzzer. It involves each of your
twenty twenty five teams, so twenty twenty five Green Bay Packers,
twenty twenty five Chicago Bears, and your name is your buzzer.
There's let's see, how about this wallet twenty five years ago?
Is that thing twenty three years old? All right? The winner,

(34:45):
the winner here gets a ten dollars Bill, Really yep? Ye,
Well I wants you try, That's why, And I know
try no matter what, but when there's money on the line,
you're gonna try real hard. What do you mean, Paul,
I care to not say? Okay, here we go ten
dollars a steak. First question, name is your buzzer? Which

(35:06):
player leads your team and tackles? Dave yes kuay Walker incorrect?
Lost at the last couple of weeks. Any idea, I
have an idea. Have we got so many injuries? Man?
Three tackles this year? Incorrect? The answer Tremaine Edmonds. The
answer Eduring Cooper? Who passed? Who has Edwards? Wow? Stend?

(35:31):
Nobody tackles on your team? Of course you still got
its your defense during just passed away with the way
missing games. You just got by just half a sack
this year for Edgero. Yeah, I know. Yeah he's feasting.
Here's number two. Which player leads your teams in tight
in touchdowns? Yeah? Commit? Uh? Incorrect? Really? Yeah, I'll go

(35:57):
with Tucker Craft Paul Boom with six thank you? Yeah,
still leads the team overall but out for a month.
But we don't have another type level them with three
is half? What do I look like? Probably it was
a trick question. Okay, David leads one zero, Here we
go number three five total. Which player leads your teams

(36:17):
in interceptions? Yeah? Evan Williams correct stud safety. By the way,
he's a tie between Byron and Naseean Wright. Not anymore.
Not Byared has six. He had one last week against Philadelphiaya,
So let's see.

Speaker 5 (36:33):
Is the game over just as might might as well
be just like Sunday about four o'clock and lambeau.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Hey, it starts at three twenty five. My legs up
on the chair. So the Stateium would be half empty
because already just going around the moss Monday night debut
in the rain, and we can talk about Doug Peterson
interviewing quarterback. Next one, what's twenty thousand meters?

Speaker 3 (36:55):
What?

Speaker 4 (36:55):
No, that's we got fine for mooning, right, I don't
know what's twenty grand to disgust act?

Speaker 1 (37:00):
Name your team's special teams coordinator.

Speaker 5 (37:04):
Dave rich Pasacia. Get him out of town as soon
as possible.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Are you kidding? Oh god, he's awful. We're always at
the bottom of the special teams categories catches. I've been
very vocal. I disappointed that that, Lavelle. I mean, seriously,
you're shiny toy focused. It's like if it's not the
quarterback or Edwards or Edmonds or whatever, the special teams
coordinator is Richard and they hate him. Oh wow, one

(37:31):
of our family here, David. Take the ten. You know
I lost ten in my poker game last night. Thank
you got your brother lost just ten. We played for pennies. No,
it was one of those nights where it was right
around even all night. Last one.

Speaker 6 (37:43):
Can we keep talking about other people's special teams?

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Pa?

Speaker 3 (37:47):
Right?

Speaker 1 (37:47):
I'm glad you said.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
Up.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
Both of you shut up? Okay, with with respect. We
got Duverne over there, and and Mike and the Indiana
rookie touching the ball the five and losing the game.
You got the best kicker in the house to get
that going for you. Yeah, he's a big his MVP. Correct.
I told you we're not to catch straights in this thing,
miss that you expected to take catch straight's last one?

(38:16):
Last one? Name your squad's team president, levell Yeah, Kevin Warren.
Do you know your team president is a policy? I
didn't know it until this morning. Mark Murphy out policies.

Speaker 5 (38:29):
Carmen policies kid, the old San Francisco guy.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
Yeah, if you read up on Carmen policy. Oh no,
that was Eddie de Bartelow from back in the Youngstown
days policies. He's cool, was the Bartelow? Was he a
Niners guy? Yeah? Yes, yeah. It might have been railroads
and might have been garbage collection. It's like I mean
waste management. Yea, yeah, the whole thing. All right, final
thoughts level, You're you're atop the NFC just like the

(38:53):
great NFC North Debate. At the state there you have.
We probably go about two two and a half minutes, so,
but you get half of it. State your case as
to why you're going to win this game. You know,
I play good. Time starts talking. Is there a main
street in green Bay?

Speaker 6 (39:10):
First?

Speaker 1 (39:10):
Is there main street? Not that I'm aware of. There
will be a main street in Lambeoufield, Lombardy Avenue.

Speaker 4 (39:15):
The Bears offense running down Main Street against your your team,
the second best run offense in football, is going to
obliterate your defenders on the way to the end zone.
Also main Street. To get the Jordan love, you get him,
you get guys in his face. He crumbles, and he's
going to see people in his face. We're gonna move
Montest sweating around, who's having a fine season, and he

(39:36):
is going to run your guy into into a crazy interceptions, fumbles,
all the turners that you think you're not going to make,
you're going to make because they're going to attack both
both sides. Main Street, David, you get the final minute
and change. Well, he doesn't throw interceptions. Thank you very

(39:57):
much for listening, King, And I'm just kidding.

Speaker 5 (40:03):
There's no reason you can run the music. I mean,
this is ridiculous. The Bears don't beat the Packers. It's
like twenty eight and two years the field. Our quarterback
got knocked down in the second quarter.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Do you want to come That doesn't matter. You can't
say they don't do something when they did, When when
our quarterback doesn't finish the game. Yes, the Bears can
beat the Packers. That's likely to happen. This is his time. Yeah, okay,
go ahead. The Green Bay.

Speaker 5 (40:29):
Packers are a better football team on both sides of
the ball. EP eight offense and defense, top five, top
seven Bears from the bottom on both sides. Packers have
won three straight. They don't lose at home at lambeau Field.
When games matter, the Chicago Bears are coming, but their
time is not now. The Packers will make it four
in a row. They'll beat the Bears twice in the
next three weeks, and they will capture the North once again.

Speaker 1 (40:52):
We give you Covenant Claps. That was absolutely spectacular, I
mean foreign a radio. It was difficult to listen to.
It ended up being better than I thought it would
because you both actually were able to formulate coaching sentences.
We'll see Sunday and Bear stands. Doesn't happen Buffalo Wild
Wing Savage tomorrow for the Friday. Football still sucks.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
The Bear still sucks.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
The Bunner still sucks. The Bear still suck.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
