Speaker 3 (01:29):
Yes? Go?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Can you throw it over your offitch?
Speaker 6 (01:32):
You might have to wear that the whole uh, the
whole episode.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Well, this sucker is heavy. Wow.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
I know you might have to wear it today.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I know you brought it in for the power trip.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yes, so wow.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I did not realize it was that heavy.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
This is this is so beautiful that sucker on.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Man, it'll make your hurt.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Here we go there you go?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Wow? Yes, So, like you know, when when players get
to the National Football League Hall of Fame, then they'll
come on nine noon share super Bowl stories or whatever.
I'll be like the gold jacket, Like what do you
do with it? You know, because it's not the type
of jacket you wear out to dinner or whatever. But
like after with this beautiful gold medal that this is,
(02:14):
this is moving, how how just thick and beautiful this
thing is?
Speaker 5 (02:18):
It is? It's magical, all right.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
So after Lake City, after Red Wing High School, after
everybody on the frost who wasn't over there, after everybody
everywhere who wants to see it, wear it and all that,
what do you do with it?
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Well, we went to the Timberls game and I ended
up showing it to a little kid, and the next
thing I turn around, there's fifty people in line to
see it. So if I bring it anywhere, I'm happy
to share it. I definitely think we're going to buy
a safe that might be number one, right, But yeah,
I mean anyone that's had a hand and you know,
(02:54):
my time in both hockey and just as a person,
I'm very excited to share with them. And summer they'll
definitely be more times. So I'll give that a little
bit grace. Right now, I don't have a ton of
time to be sharing it with everyone, but I'm happy
to bring it in here in the power Trip and
Timbrill's game and all that. So we've had a lot
of fun times since we've gotten back, so it's been
really fun.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
One of that's that's the voice of Taylor Heisei with
the Minnesota Frost. She had a goal and to assist
yesterday and assist on the game winner in overtime. In Toronto.
Fiance Parker Fox weekly guest at least once a week,
nine to noon. Wedding plans are on the horizon. Parker's
role in the equation a lot of things, a lot
(03:32):
of things in which we're going to dive. However, in
getting to know you pretty well and knowing Parker as
well as I do, I know the the giving back
to those who helped you get where you are. Now,
that's such a wide ranging prism or spectrum, but I
know that's important to you. Whether it's camps, whether it's kids.
(03:56):
I mean, you bring this to like, you know, a
bunch of middle school or elementary or whatever, they're going
to go nuts with this cold metal huh.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Yeah, I mean I did, Like I think I got
to see like one when I was a kid. I
never saw any more than that. There wasn't a ton
of people coming out of Lake City with gold medals,
But yeah, I got to see one. And I remember
even when I was at the Olympics, Bonnie Blair brought
in her gold medal and she's like, do you want
to touch it? I'm like, sometimes you think about it,
You're like, Okay, bad karma, good karma. I'm like, screw it.
I want to see it. It was from like nineteen eighty something,
(04:28):
and I got to like feel and touch it and
it was like such an unbelievable experience. And I'm twenty five.
Like these kids that are young that want to be
where we're at, like, I mean, they got to be
able to see it. And I'm definitely having my camp
again this summer. It'll be there, just like honestly wherever.
I'm sure I'll go back to Lake City and Red
Wing at some point soon. I know Treasure Alan reached
out and I'm sure we'll do something with them at
(04:48):
some point too. So we really excited. And it's like
bringing home you know, the Patty Kaz or you know
the Walter Cup, like all those fun things like that.
I have a great time with that. Does it drain
me a little bit, Yeah, But that's okay because my
social battery tends to go down a little bit quicker
these days, but it's like it's sharing with the people
that have, you know, made my life so special, and
it's like very interesting opportunity.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
To do it.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
The assumption here is you guys don't have practice today.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Yeah, this is my off day.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
How great? I mean? I was thinking, you know, ever
since Nordo told me this was set up last week.
Then fiance and I were texting yesterday during your game.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Then Abby Murphy's on T and T. She doing a
good job, And I'm like, Abby's doing a great job.
But I mean, hey, I don't know what's next for you,
but I mean something like that, because you're so naturally
gifted at that. But clear clearly that's down the road.
She did a good job yesterday too, That's what I heard.
But to have I was thinking about you off Milan
(05:44):
Frost Gold medal, whirlwind. How great is today?
Speaker 5 (05:49):
You know, the fact the sun shining outside, that's number
one for sure. Blessed to live in the state of
Minnesota and to have an off day these days, it's
you know, not usually off. Parker knows that I usually
how to line things up to get things done. My
mom's coming up today. We're doing some wedding planning stuff.
So usually I just get to kind of chill a
little bit, go to the grocery store, do to the
normal person things. And that's something that I really try
(06:12):
to take advantage of these days when the days that
I have offs.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
So how are the wedding plans coming? And what's Parker's role.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
In the equation?
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Why not you step up?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
With respect, I gotta take this gold medal off heavy.
It doesn't hurt. It's distracting me how heavy it is.
And then I keep like picking it up and looking
at it and reading everything on the back.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
See the ship where I almost knocked my tooth out, Well,
oh really, I was diving on the ice grace and
I took a video and I'm pretty sure I hit
it on my tooth. I don't know. Yeah, teeth all
intact though.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Well so, I mean, being a gold medal winning hockey player.
If if you get a chip in one of them,
you just send it back. They send you a new one,
right kind of like it.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
It's it's like mine we had. We were at Billy
Sushi the other day and he wanted to take a
picture with all the metals and I'm like, well, you're
never gonna get mine all screwed up. You can keep
it over there, keep and yeah. But he's like and
I'm like, you're never going to get mine mixed up.
Mine has a chip in it, so it's perfect. But
there is it. I believe a two year warranty.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, so well wait, it's twenty twenty six. So like
when you first said, did you notice the chip in it?
I thought it was like, well, there's a chip in
the middle of this thing, so somebody can follower wherever
she goes to make sure she doesn't leave the frost or.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Something like that.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
No, thank you know, no, I think I either tipped
on the ice or my tooth. Very unsure, But.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Well, how does that warranty work. You got to send
it to some po box in Croatia.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
I actually have no idea. It came with the like
a little carrying case in a box, and I think
it like mentions it in the instructions or something.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, but we also are a plane at Utica. Yeah,
when we're on the fifth floor, which means on the
first floor, we got Continental Diamond right where you got
your your wedding ring. Correct, we got Andy and reb
down there. They they'll take care of they'll take.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Care of it.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Shure down there after this too.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Wow, we but you bought a wedding ring from them.
You're a gold medal winning hockey player. I think they'll
fix this little chip there.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
You go.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Phenomenal Jock Charter though, like I kind of like it.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, because you're a rough and tumble player. Hey, win
battles in the corner, front battles and everything. Your gold
medal has to be chips. In fact, I'm going to
take it and throw it against the wall and chip
it more. How much does this way?
Speaker 5 (08:26):
I don't actually know, but I do know. I think
it was six I want to say it's silver underneath,
but it's six grams of gold.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Everybody that grabs it has the same reaction as WHOA
this thing is happening.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
I tell them it's heavy, but like you can't in
your head fathom how actually heavy it is?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Right, it's my neck.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
I woke up after going out after winning, and I
woke up and Grace and I were like.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Oh Grace as in zumb wingle summy, Yeah, I mean
Barker rolls in. I barely know Grace, I know her
a little bit through you. I just love her last name.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
She's great.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
So with Parker, I'll be like, if you're a coach
of a hockey team, how much trouble do you have
figuring out this equation? Do I prefer planes winkle or
saying some winkle? It's one of the two.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
It's a great lass, it's a good hockey less any idea.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
If you melted this bad boy down, like what is
worth well, I'm on silver. It's like.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
I looked it up though they said this is like
the most expensive you're doing your partner, twenty five hundred bucks.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
There we go.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Ryan Lochtey clearly was in a bad place and was
selling his h this past year, and I think he
got like, I want to say a good amount of money?
Are gonna look it up?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
I mean it's twenty five hundred dollars. If you melted
down for right.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
But not what it's actually worthank you memory wise?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Especially if we got a two set, well, what number
were you in the Olympics? Twenty seven? Okay, So if
we got a two seven tailor heizie on the back,
go and add another zero to that thing. That's twenty
five large Parker. Yeah, right, that's twenty five large yell
three for three hundred and.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
Eighty six thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, that's yeah. And you know what I'm tripping right now?
I should know this name? Who is he? Righty's swimmer?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Swimmer?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, swimmer?
Speaker 6 (10:09):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Two thousand and four Athens, two thousand and eight Beijing,
and twenty twenty sixteen reel.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Did well, I hope you're never in the spot where Yeah,
that's right. No, that we hope so too.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
That would be a disaster.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Did did I hit on a weird topic with the Foxes?
Slash izy slash izy Foxes? What's Parker's role in the
wedding pining equation? Three times?
Speaker 6 (10:33):
I was hopefully we just run over there.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
That tells us everything. Yeah, you've got the banker on
your side.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
We got the banker on the side. No, we're in
a pretty good place.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
I think we even told ourselves let's let's focus on
the Olympics, let's take care of business, and we'll cross
the bridges when we need to cross them. We have
you know, we have venue, we have food, we have
you know, all the big picture stuff. So I think
it's like.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Honeymooning grooms and here comes mom, Here comes Mom today. Yeah, yeah,
sixty percent of it's going to get done in five hours.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
That's just we'reing some chicken turtia soup. We're gonna have
a great yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
So perfect. Let's you know what, Let's make this say
Steve's Appliance's Marathon segment. When Parker and Taylor get their
first home together, they may need appliances, and like many
in their twenties, they'll be looking to save money. Steve's
Appliances dot Com for these kids, Sarah and Jordan, we'll
get you set up with a full kitchen package if needed,
(11:25):
and you don't have to be a gold medal winning
hockey player to secure said savings. This hook is one
of the best we've had in the history of this
radio show. Head to Steve's mentioned KFA in nine to
New Marathons or PSALM twenty three and let the fast delivery,
free recycling, and guaranteed low prices begin. Thank you Steve's
and Steve's Appliances dot Com. After beating Toronto and ot
(11:50):
yesterday with a goal and a couple of assists, that
that season's full throttle for you now. But there had
to be a little little bit of an adjustment right
when you came back.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Yeah, everyone talks about the like post Olympics depression, and
I really only thought that set in when you lost.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
I feel like I definitely felt it in the sense
of like that was the best team I've ever been on,
the most talented team I've ever been on, and we
won and it was, like I said it today, it's
like I, if I look back at it, it was
like a movie and I got to live it for
twenty six days, and if I could go back and
live that all over again, I would, So I think,
you know, definitely coming back and having two days at
(12:29):
home and having to pack my bag again and go
to Montreal and play. I knew that game wasn't gonna
be our best. People hadn't played in twenty days. Are
like my team was able to take a break those
that weren't at the Olympics. And definitely was an adjustment.
Definitely was you know, pace of play, a little bit
of a different, you know, feeling for me, and you know,
I always want to be at my best and to
get a lick of what that looked like. And then
you know, Obviously the frost is fantastic. I love playing
(12:51):
on this team, but it's definitely just two very different things.
And now I think we got back to our game
and we played phenomenal yesterday.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Now, if if I'm here you with questions that have
been oversaturated, I apologize.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
This is good.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Well, the the the Olympic Village, Yeah, I mean, what
was it?
Speaker 6 (13:08):
Like?
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Crazy?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Do you miss it? And Parker, yeah, I think it's
going there. No, no, but here's the sound was beautiful
because I mean he flexed for a year and change
nine to noon about that super special CAFETERII at the
University of Minnesota for the athletes. He couldn't go in, Yeah,
and they couldn't get into the Olympic Village, but they
had the family group text they did, so now you
(13:31):
you swore you said, yes, we all got so close
with this group text waiting in lines and everything. Yeah,
it's probably going to continue after we get back from
the Olympics. As it continued.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Crickets, Yeah, how much going on to the group.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Well, all these girls go back to their own markets, right,
and it's like now here we are as competitors, and
like Taylor was saying, it's like you're you're a part
of the best team that's ever been assembled in women's
hockey for twenty six days, and it's like you try
to just live in it. But then it ends, and
it's like you'll never you'll never get to do that
again until four more years and it'll be a new
group of girls.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
So I think there's there's that to it. But no,
the group check. The group chat is crickets.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Maybe we'll get some some talks in there once playoffs
come around and we'll get a little uh, you know,
a little.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
No chance, No, not no what And it's it's it's
nothing bad, no, And distance is not disdain. That's right,
that's just generally how it was. Sure, Yeah, think about
twenty think about twenty thirty. Yeah, that's right, that's that's
Where are the Olympics in twenty thirty helps? Oh wow,
they're going too far?
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Yeah, not too far from where we just were. Really, no,
it's right there.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
What what even doubt? Now this is several weeks ago,
but I've been meaning to ask you this, what what
even doubt? In the gold medal game against a Canada
team that you guys were smashing game after game, and
I know Paul Land, I know the captain didn't play
in the one before the championship, but nevertheless, you know,
and what was the bit called when you went to
(15:00):
Edmonton and Buffalo a rivalry series, you were whooping him
every single time. Well, that last game was the meat
grinder of all meat grinders ever, the meat grinder. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
I would shout my dad out on this stuff because
he doesn't get enough credit. But we were walking the
day every game. I would get up walk with my
family and Parker to a little cafe. We'd get some
fresh fruit, cappuccino and a croissan and just talk about
the game. And my dad's like, I hope you know
it's going to be two to one, And I'm like, yeah,
(15:29):
good vibes from you, Tony.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
But but he's getting you in the right mindset act
And I knew that.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Like realistically, it's how every World Championship has gone. Yeah,
over time or wining normally, and it's two to one
or three to two, and regardless of how well we played,
like Cana just had to play one good game and
it really doesn't matter how you play up to that
as long as your confidence is good. And yeah, they
have Land and they have all their great players and such,
but I think if they're them, like I don't want
(15:55):
to say they got too high after that first goal,
but like they felt like they could do it.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
And then when we score that one with what three
minutes left.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
To the felt in the arena when they got up, Yeah,
you guys got a little tight probably, And this is
not making you bad players. That's human nature. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
And then you see that and you're like, Okay, let's
see how long this lasts. And in my head, it
lasted about four minutes.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
And then you know, we started to get the game
back at the end of the second and then the
third came around and I'm like, okay, we have this.
We just got to put the puck in the net.
And then obviously that puck goes in, and in my
head on the bench, I'm like, Okay, if we score one,
we're completely fine. But if we don't, we lose. I'm like, well,
that's just how it goes. And we score that goal,
and I remember thinking on the bench, I literally go, guys,
we have it. We have it. We just got to
take it. And then obviously we get to overtime. Hillary
(16:38):
gets in the locker room and says, someone be a hero.
Don't care who it is. Someone everyone raise your hand
right now because everyone in this locker room can do it.
And she's just like, she's amazing. She doesn't say much
when she does, you listen. And we went out there,
and of course it's Megan Keller, our stud defender, making
a move that I wouldn't even make in a game
like that and unbelievable. And to be honest, I didn't
even see the goal. I saw the goal an hour
(16:59):
and a half later because no one could show me
because I sprinted so fast to the bench after I
made the pass because I wanted to get off. Yeah,
I didn't see it until I saw people on the
bench throw their hands up and I turned around really
quick and ran to the fight.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
After that, Wow, holy cow. And the emotions experience there,
it's I mean to even ask somebody if they were
I bet you don't even remember.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Immediately started crying. Yeah, I and everyone else is looking
like you can kind of see the first timers and
Abby Murphy, which is so funny because she's not an
emotional person, but she's bawling. I look at her, I'm
crying and I'm like, we did it, and the first
timers you can see I think me, Tessa, Janicky and
a few other people just bawling, and everyone else like
Carpenter and Night. They just have this huge smile on
(17:39):
their face and two very different emotions but in the
same way. It's it's it's just very true to how
you feel. And I remember I cried forbidden. There's a
picture of me hugging Laila Edwards and I just have
tears streaming down my face and she's just like the
biggest smile on her face. So it's like so cool
to look back at that stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
The picture the you know, the the Age Old Hockey
Championship pick which fans out wide, people sitting in the front,
I mean it coaches behind and off on the side.
They're they're fantastic. Yeah did you did you see fiance
in the background with the photo bomb? I didn't, But
(18:14):
you're in that, I think.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Try to get in it.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Like looking straight ahead, you're slightly off to the left
by a tunnel, like your hands in the air in it.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
But somebody held a Minnesota Gopher flag behind it too.
I don't know if you can see there's I mean
there's a bunch of different pictures.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
That was Frosty, that was Brad Frost. Brad Frost, right.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
He also knows this role though, because after we're like waiting.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
When you say that he knows his role.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Everyone in order to be successful, everyone has another role.
And I'm like waiting on the line and my phone's
back in the locker room, which is ten minutes away
because for us to get to them the game rink,
you walk without your skates, you hold your skates and
your stick, and you walk seven minutes outside inside. The
stories are insane with that.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
But women and men did that both.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
I think there were golf cards. I didn't get a
golf cart. Not sure if the men were getting golf carts, probably,
but yeah, So my phone was all the way back
in the locker room and he's like screaming at me
and waving. He's like, do you want my phone? So
then I grabbed his phone and was able to take
pictures of every and on the ice because no one
else had a phone. Wow, I have some like og picks.
And then there's a video of mer saying we did it,
and something about Canadian tears and some exploitives probably, but
(19:22):
great videos and pictures for sure.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Taylor Hei with a fiance Parker Fox nine to noon.
I'm gonna break here in a second, but did did
fiance send you the video from the vox of all
voxes ever to Vox? I will do it when you
scored it, so Alan Roach, who was oh yes, yeah, yeah,
and he sent it to me right after you scored.
(19:45):
And I was wondering, like why he paused because it's
like twenty seven and then you hear potcho bell I
got on me, Taylor, HEISEI, Taylor, I see because he
had to wait for the other guy to do his thing.
So you showed her that, I show her, well, it's
a keeper forever.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
On one of those walks.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Actually that she was talking about, I showed it to
her and I said that this is exactly what that is.
That's saved in the beautiful photo album and it's it's
something you get to see forever of you scoring.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
And then your name me celebrating my line maker, which
is really cool.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Stick around all right, yeah for a second, Taylor and
Parker Fox and Studio nine to now twenty eight minutes
past the hour.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Back after this, we'll get back in seconds to Gold
Medal Radio.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
But just as the tampering period.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Has opened up, news abound just a few to hit
hit you the listeners with your home for Vikings football
wide receiver Alec Pierce.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I wonder what Jalen Naylor is.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Going to get is Alec Pierce just got a four year,
one hundred and sixteen million dollar deal to return to
the Indianapolis Colts. And we were thinking, hey, the Chiefs
might be in the running back market in the draft now. Actually,
according to Adam Schefter, Kenneth Walker is agreed to sign
with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
So a couple of breaking stories.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
There, tampering period early on, lots of conversation, lots of
bits and steam.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
I will have it for you on the fan Gold
Metal Radio. Taylor Heisi along with a Parker Fox and
studio off yesterday. I don't know how long you're in
these road destinations. I've never been to Toronto. What's Toronto? The
city like?
Speaker 5 (21:30):
Okay, So we stay at a pretty nice hotel kind
of down by the water, and they have a great mall.
It's called the Eaton Center. And if there's a mall,
I'm going to be there. So Grace and I always
find ourselves there. But it's like, honestly a mini New
York City, if I were to say so, There's a
lot going on, and the traffic is posterous, like for
us to get to like one time we stayed in
(21:52):
the city and for us to get to a game,
it took us an hour and twenty minutes and we
were almost late to our own game.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Yes, there are some planning problems with that one.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Correct me if I'm wrong here. Not trying to be
a p w HL elite mind or expert, but you
and the Frost have a nice rival You and the
in Toronto. You guys have a nice rivalry going, right.
I mean you beat him almost a year ago to
get to the finals against Boston. Emphasis on the word
you than the team and the parts I watched yesterday
(22:23):
were quite intense and tightly contested. Nice little rivalry there.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Yeah, it's been awesome. I think from the start of
Yr one. When you look at a team and it's
majority Hockey Canada, that's gonna set me off every time.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
So he probably doesn't know that Canada's head coach is
Toronto's head coaches, which.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
He will no longer be the head coach of Canada
after but he tried to.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Love you so much. Well you beat him every time.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Yeah, but I think just the animosity behind the rivalry
is the most important part. Like there's people on that
team that I know don't like me, and I'm a
likable person, pa like it's something like I'm not. And
I think it's it's all because like there some of
them that I don't like because of on the ice,
but there's some of them that I do. And you know,
you look at that rivalry and a lot of when
we get into plays and we play each other is
very tightly contested and like last last night, that actually
(23:14):
feels like a few days ago.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
But well it was yesterday morning.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
Literally Daylight Savings made it like something like that, And
what Daylight Savings if it was early, I had my
red Bull at like eight thirty. But yeah, it's it's
always a good one. And when it's Team Canada, like
they like you. They lost to us, and I'm a
big part of that, and I think sometimes they look
at it and wow, and you get out there and
you lose and it's tough. But they definitely were feeling
(23:38):
and I think people are complaining about the refs yesterday,
and anytime the refs are on your side, I'll happily
take it in the PWHL because that doesn't always happen.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
All right, So this is the not that I need
to prove this, but this is going to show that
I have all of your albums. The way do I
have to explain what an album is, She's got it okay,
the way you explain the Red Bull part, I would say,
off off. I don't know when it was two three
months ago, is pa. I had my Red Bull at
(24:06):
eight thirty in the morning while sitting by a piano
with somewinkle cold calling teammates to tell them I love
them yes, which is one of the great X submissions
that I've seen within the last X amount of months.
I watched it four times.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
Yeah, I fantastic.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
It was fantastic. How you guys did that?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Man?
Speaker 5 (24:25):
And Grace wanted to do it again. I'm like Grace,
you know, I think we got to keep the people
wanting more, and because it was so good the first time,
I don't know if we'll get the same reactions. Maybe
maybe I should, maybe I should, maybe should do it
for us and I'm like, we're not messing anything up
around here. College is not the time, and we had
gotten these Samsung flip folks shows. We can even do
(24:46):
it on the burner.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I just call and I'm like, no, sweet, did you
have to give those burners back? No phone plan ran out.
It was a month phone plan in Italy.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
It only works in Italy.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
But phone plan runs out. In the group chat, you
got no word to eat, no friends. Taylor doesn't come
out of the village. He's visiting Snoop. Yeah, what was
Snoop deal?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Double g Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:09):
What was meeting him?
Speaker 6 (25:10):
So cool?
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Him and Layla got to meet, I think before we
got to meet as a group, and I remember Parker
got so mad at me because I was taking a
nap during the time he was on our floor in
Athletes Village, and he was like, you're kidding me. He
texted it in the whole family group chat and goes
Taylor just missed meeting Snoop because she was taking a nap.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
I was like, there's got to be another opportunity. And
sure the day I.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
Needed to take a nap, like get in my pregame
nap and and I'm like, I figured I asked Leila
on Mike is he gonna come back? And then I
think it was like a few days after think or
not Thanksgiving Valentine's Day, and he brought us all roses.
He's the sweetest, he was the sweetest guy, brought all
of us roses. He goes, I love I love the girls,
I love the like whatever. We get into group, we
take pictures. He gives us a fake chain and then
(25:53):
he goes, camera, came here. If they win, I'm having
them all in and we're getting to icedout chains. Haven't
gotten the ice out chain at but wow, I'm gonna
have to check in with Layla because I do feel
like that might happen. Well, we went to the club
and we saw him perform live, which was awesome.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Him in French Montana?
Speaker 2 (26:09):
So wait, was it previously planned or did he like
jump up on the stage and say no. Rolling down
the street with Heisi and some legal sipping gin and
juice laid back.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
After we won, we were at the Winterhouse and Hillary,
of course has all the connections. She goes, Okay, who
wants to go to the club, And I'm like, I
don't know, I don't ever go to the club. But hey,
if he's going to be there in French Montana's gonna
be there, I go sign me up. And it's one
of those clubs where they tape your your camera. They
put stickers over your cameras, and for me, I'm like,
(26:39):
I had a few apparel sprits as I ripped those
things right off. I was videotaping with flash in there. Really,
but yeah, the videos I have are so funny because
then there's one of them he goes where my lady's
at and all of my friends are like going crazy
because it's the best section, and yeah, super cool.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
How fast is your fiance playing right now?
Speaker 6 (26:56):
Fast?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Man?
Speaker 6 (26:57):
I'm trying to keep up.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Man, Taylor Isi Parker Big twelve basketball tournament begins Wednesday.
How do you feel about your brother Nate's cyclones and
can you get away to games with your Frost duties?
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Yeah, I haven't gotten down there yet. Parker got to
go two weekends ago weekends ago, and I usually try
to get to one and just things haven't aligned. I
literally have one off day per two weeks, it seems
these days. But I tune in, I watch they had
a tough loss to Arizona.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah, Arizona.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
I always I always bet on Nate. I think some
people don't give him the credit he deserves on Twitter
and everything like that. I think he's a fantastic, fantastic player,
fantastic defensive player, and he plays thirty minutes for a reason.
And really excited. He had his last home game at
hilton Head Colisseum a few days ago, and I texted him,
I'm like, you deserve it, Like, go go out there
and get it. And if I could make it to
(27:49):
a game, I would. At this point, it doesn't look
like I'm gonna be able to, but still tuning in.
Really excited for the Cyclones for sure.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
How tall is Tony Tony six five? I think, all right,
what's your mom's name? Amy tall?
Speaker 5 (28:01):
She's five to ten? Me and her about the same. Yeah,
you're five ten, I guess brother seven foot one? Ryan
the Onanona State Rio said six.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Ten, Oh he's taller.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Oh and and Nate six.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
Five six five six?
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Yeahs about right right? So tall Tony six five? Wow?
How to Ryan? And seven feet?
Speaker 4 (28:24):
He gets taller every time we see him, since I
swear he's just he his lengthy, I'll get out, But yeah,
he can shoot the rock.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
FIFA, FIFA Fairness and Family Act. We got Nate, we
got Taylor. Can't leave out Ryan. Seven feet as I'm tall.
Thought it was six ten scores a bunch for Wenona State.
So go Ryan his his basketball run. There is about Dan, right,
I believe they they're done.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Yeah, they're onto the Division two levels, already onto their
March Madness Tournament or whatever you call it.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
All right, So with that said, could you have been
as good or better at basketball as you are hockey?
Because I know you've told me before you played. Yes,
and it was like sixth grade or something.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
Until seventh grade.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Yeah, okay, so could you honestly and you're an athlete,
so you were competitive, but just be straight, could you
have been as good at basketball as you are at hockey.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
I can't see into the future of things that might
have happened, but if I could have guessed, I have
the capacity to have done it. I don't know what
the opportunities look like or what things would have been like,
but I think me playing on teams that weren't great
as a kid was kind of the reason why I've
gotten to where I'm at. For hockey related reasons. And
(29:39):
you know basketball these great teams, like you look at
Matt Greenway and you know, she's definitely the best player
on her team, and she's scoring these crazy amount of
points in games, and she's really good and going to
go play basketball, Like I can imagine that could have
been me, but who knows. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
But you bring people to go shoot hoops or something
like that, and her form is perfect, really like elbows in,
follow through the knees in a little bit like she'll
beat me and pig if I'm not like making shots,
you know, So one of those things where.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
So even if you use your left hand, are you
right handed? Even if you use your left I need
to can hit those. I need to have all I
need to have all power going on.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
Here's a group at the bottom of the Grand Casino
Arena now and I always shoot. That's my last thing
I do before I go on the locker room, as
I have to hit a three.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Do do women hockey players play hacky sack like the guys.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
We play, we call it feather. It's like it's kind
of like hacky sack, but it's like a harder bottom
with some feathers that come out and you kick it
and it soars up pretty much the same. I quit
soccer a few years ago. It got too much for me. Suer.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
So with off off basketball. You watched Caitlyn Clark play, right, Yeah? Yeah,
me too.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
She reached out to me after we won.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Wow, so me and her on top I should get
your number.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
Oh Instagram DM.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
So I'm going to see a second when she plays
the Links and it's been three years running for us
to meet each other. So I'm gonna se or hopefully
court sides.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Well, that's amazing, and you know what I mean. With
all due respect to Cheryl Reeve and other people in
the WNBA. She hates when I say this, but like
I didn't watch the WA I love basketball, I didn't
watch it for a long time, and I know there
were a lot of great players when that woman was playing.
After I watched her in the Final four with I couldn't,
I watched almost all of her games and then like,
(31:22):
if she's not playing on a Friday night on some
channel called Ion, I'm getting back from calling races of Canterbury,
turning on Ion and watching like Skyler digs for Seattle
play against somebody from Vegas or whatever, so like, yeah,
it's not a bad thing that one polarizing person brought
millions together into it.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
She just got to get healthy this year too, so
that she can have a complete season. And I think
the league and the WNBA.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
Time last season two.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
It did for sure the last two seasons. Yeah, yeah,
they they're in the collective bargaining. Meek Rinder right now, she.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
Had a quote. I think she's like, why don't we
just sit across from the table from each other, shake
hands and see each other I instead of making these
proposals and sending them back to fourthly. Well right, that's
just how you get things done.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Shit, hands need another one, Okay, one more segment, all right,
and then the show's done. So I can't go past
new I mean, this is so good and I have
so much in front of me. Taylor Heisei Gold Medal
Radio fiance Parker Fox here eleven forty five kfam O you.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Final segment nine to noon Free Agency Underway, Gold Medal
Radio just seconds from now. The Dolphins three years, sixty
seven and a half million dollars.
Speaker 2 (32:33):

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Malik Willis getting forty five million guaranteed by the Dolphins
while they pay off ninety nine and dead money to Tua.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Also Jalen Watson.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
If you're looking for a corner, the Rams have secured
not just Trent McDuffie via trade, but now Jalen Watson
via free agency.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Both chiefs corners headed out West. Thank you, thank you
very much. And the Vikings with Eric Wilson, Jalen Redman,
I've been paid junior back in the mix. Much more
to come during the core of today, Tomorrow and Wednesday
with the NFL free agency. But as Nordo said, gold
medal radio in play, Taylor Heisey from a team USA
women's squad with the Olympics, brought the gold medal in
(33:11):
It's the bomb fiance Parker Foxes here, got fifteen questions
in front of me, only time to get to two.
And I don't, I don't. I don't want to put
the cliched wet blanket over a super happy, energetic conversation.
But I do want to ask you for four years
ago and change. Yes, you were the final cut for
the twenty twenty two Olympic team. Did that send you
(33:33):
into a dark place, if only for a little while?
Great question, because you're so happy and Peppi and bounced
out of things so well, yeah, but dark E sees.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
Me what I'm not, so I think. I remember I
gave myself like forty eight hours, and I remember I
went home. It was in Blaine, Oh forever. We still
go to that hotel for camps and it really gives
me PTSD. But I remember I called my parents and
they wanted us to stay that night in the hotel
and I'm like, screw that, I'm going home and my
stuff up and I drove home, and I remember I
(34:02):
took a nap the next day on my couch. I
was so exhausted for like three four hours and took
a walk outside and my parents were like, you can be,
you know, do whatever you want, but understand that this
might be the best thing that's ever happened to you,
and you won't understand it for another four and here
we are, ye. And I do think that me not
making that team, regardless of the I'm not winning that
year was probably the best thing to ever happened to me,
(34:23):
and it really kind of I wouldn't say that everything
has gone my way in life, but I do work
really hard for what I do and tend to make
things happen in my favor. And when you know that
didn't happen for me, I'm like, well there it is
like this is this is the one thing in life
that's gonna either deter me for the next four or
it's gonna push me forward. And I think that it
did that.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Okay, So after you trained for it then worked out
with the ladies, I mean you being competitive, unrealistically or not,
it sounds to me like you thought that you were
going to make it.
Speaker 5 (34:54):
You know, the coach being my college coach and everything
being set up the way that it.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Just to the coach.
Speaker 5 (35:00):
No, Joel Johnson at the time was my assistant coach
of the U and got it like he saw me
on a day to day basis and saw me at
my best and saw me at my worst. And I
remember at that Trialt camp, I didn't even get to
play center, which is my real title where I stand,
but I was playing wing and it just wasn't Nothing
was going right for me. I wasn't playing with the
best players. You know, things just weren't working out. And
remember I called my dad and wasn't trying to sugarcoat
(35:22):
I'm like, it hasn't been great, but I do think that,
like everyone knows my potential and my abilities and just
didn't fit the puzzle piece. We had so many great
centers and I wasn't at that time, I think, physically ready.
I was twenty two, you know, hadn't grown into my
body yet and everything. So by the time I ended
up really realizing now how important things were and how
important I making that team was, it was awesome and
(35:43):
I think it was an awesome opportunity that I lost
out on.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
And here we are, despite smacking Canada the way you did,
ye your the USA team did over the X amount
of months. That's why Tony.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
Said it's gonna be two to one.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
See, yeah, it really kind of as a dad goes
back four years not saying, Dad, this sucks. I'm better
than ABC and D I should be on the team.
I thought I was gonna make it. That's what dads does,
not chopping you down at your knees. It's just the
way it is, ryes and they see you're ready for anything.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
Correct, Yeah, that's terrific, is not everything's going to go
your way?
Speaker 2 (36:16):
And let me see snoop deal double g let's do
this to close with your frost. All right, you're looking
to win three consecutive championships. Friday, Seattle is that Grand
Casino Arena? Your Olympic teammate Hillary Night out for Seattle
due to a torn mcl yep with which I just
read this morning. She played during the Olympics. Yeah, I mean,
(36:39):
was she like pushing through pain all the time.
Speaker 5 (36:42):
Yeah, she was doing probably treatment about four or five
hours a day. Geez, getting things done. But like all
of us knew how bad it was, But honestly, I
think it was worse. She sugarcoats it. She always has
a smile on her face. She's our leader for a reason.
And I just think that, you know, now looking back
on how well you did in the things that she
was able to accomplish with a bomb knee and me
(37:03):
being like Parker knows it, like I've played with a knee,
race on from my quad down to my ankle and
it's not fun. And she was taped up. You know,
if you look at our LTIR and everything, Kennell coins
go feels out her, she's out, Bil goes out like
just everyone that played through it. Just it's determination, it's resiliency,
so a plus.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Thank you for bringing the gold medal in. I appreciate you.

Here we go there you go?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Wow? Yes, So, like you know, when when players get
to the National Football League Hall of Fame, then they'll
come on nine noon share super Bowl stories or whatever.
I'll be like the gold jacket, Like what do you
do with it? You know, because it's not the type
of jacket you wear out to dinner or whatever. But
like after with this beautiful gold medal that this is,
(02:14):
this is moving, how how just thick and beautiful this
thing is?
Speaker 5 (02:18):
It is? It's magical, all right.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
So after Lake City, after Red Wing High School, after
everybody on the frost who wasn't over there, after everybody
everywhere who wants to see it, wear it and all that,
what do you do with it?
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Well, we went to the Timberls game and I ended
up showing it to a little kid, and the next
thing I turn around, there's fifty people in line to
see it. So if I bring it anywhere, I'm happy
to share it. I definitely think we're going to buy
a safe that might be number one, right, But yeah,
I mean anyone that's had a hand and you know,
(02:54):
my time in both hockey and just as a person,
I'm very excited to share with them. And summer they'll
definitely be more times. So I'll give that a little
bit grace. Right now, I don't have a ton of
time to be sharing it with everyone, but I'm happy
to bring it in here in the power Trip and
Timbrill's game and all that. So we've had a lot
of fun times since we've gotten back, so it's been
really fun.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
One of that's that's the voice of Taylor Heisei with
the Minnesota Frost. She had a goal and to assist
yesterday and assist on the game winner in overtime. In Toronto.
Fiance Parker Fox weekly guest at least once a week,
nine to noon. Wedding plans are on the horizon. Parker's
role in the equation a lot of things, a lot
(03:32):
of things in which we're going to dive. However, in
getting to know you pretty well and knowing Parker as
well as I do, I know the the giving back
to those who helped you get where you are. Now,
that's such a wide ranging prism or spectrum, but I
know that's important to you. Whether it's camps, whether it's kids.
(03:56):
I mean, you bring this to like, you know, a
bunch of middle school or elementary or whatever, they're going
to go nuts with this cold metal huh.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Yeah, I mean I did, Like I think I got
to see like one when I was a kid. I
never saw any more than that. There wasn't a ton
of people coming out of Lake City with gold medals,
But yeah, I got to see one. And I remember
even when I was at the Olympics, Bonnie Blair brought
in her gold medal and she's like, do you want
to touch it? I'm like, sometimes you think about it,
You're like, Okay, bad karma, good karma. I'm like, screw it.
I want to see it. It was from like nineteen eighty something,
(04:28):
and I got to like feel and touch it and
it was like such an unbelievable experience. And I'm twenty five.
Like these kids that are young that want to be
where we're at, like, I mean, they got to be
able to see it. And I'm definitely having my camp
again this summer. It'll be there, just like honestly wherever.
I'm sure I'll go back to Lake City and Red
Wing at some point soon. I know Treasure Alan reached
out and I'm sure we'll do something with them at
(04:48):
some point too. So we really excited. And it's like
bringing home you know, the Patty Kaz or you know
the Walter Cup, like all those fun things like that.
I have a great time with that. Does it drain
me a little bit, Yeah, But that's okay because my
social battery tends to go down a little bit quicker
these days, but it's like it's sharing with the people
that have, you know, made my life so special, and
it's like very interesting opportunity.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
To do it.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
The assumption here is you guys don't have practice today.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Yeah, this is my off day.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
How great? I mean? I was thinking, you know, ever
since Nordo told me this was set up last week.
Then fiance and I were texting yesterday during your game.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Then Abby Murphy's on T and T. She doing a
good job, And I'm like, Abby's doing a great job.
But I mean, hey, I don't know what's next for you,
but I mean something like that, because you're so naturally
gifted at that. But clear clearly that's down the road.
She did a good job yesterday too, That's what I heard.
But to have I was thinking about you off Milan
(05:44):
Frost Gold medal, whirlwind. How great is today?
Speaker 5 (05:49):
You know, the fact the sun shining outside, that's number
one for sure. Blessed to live in the state of
Minnesota and to have an off day these days, it's
you know, not usually off. Parker knows that I usually
how to line things up to get things done. My
mom's coming up today. We're doing some wedding planning stuff.
So usually I just get to kind of chill a
little bit, go to the grocery store, do to the
normal person things. And that's something that I really try
(06:12):
to take advantage of these days when the days that
I have offs.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
So how are the wedding plans coming? And what's Parker's role.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
In the equation?
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Why not you step up?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
With respect, I gotta take this gold medal off heavy.
It doesn't hurt. It's distracting me how heavy it is.
And then I keep like picking it up and looking
at it and reading everything on the back.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
See the ship where I almost knocked my tooth out, Well,
oh really, I was diving on the ice grace and
I took a video and I'm pretty sure I hit
it on my tooth. I don't know. Yeah, teeth all
intact though.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Well so, I mean, being a gold medal winning hockey player.
If if you get a chip in one of them,
you just send it back. They send you a new one,
right kind of like it.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
It's it's like mine we had. We were at Billy
Sushi the other day and he wanted to take a
picture with all the metals and I'm like, well, you're
never gonna get mine all screwed up. You can keep
it over there, keep and yeah. But he's like and
I'm like, you're never going to get mine mixed up.
Mine has a chip in it, so it's perfect. But
there is it. I believe a two year warranty.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, so well wait, it's twenty twenty six. So like
when you first said, did you notice the chip in it?
I thought it was like, well, there's a chip in
the middle of this thing, so somebody can follower wherever
she goes to make sure she doesn't leave the frost or.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Something like that.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
No, thank you know, no, I think I either tipped
on the ice or my tooth. Very unsure, But.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Well, how does that warranty work. You got to send
it to some po box in Croatia.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
I actually have no idea. It came with the like
a little carrying case in a box, and I think
it like mentions it in the instructions or something.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, but we also are a plane at Utica. Yeah,
when we're on the fifth floor, which means on the
first floor, we got Continental Diamond right where you got
your your wedding ring. Correct, we got Andy and reb
down there. They they'll take care of they'll take.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Care of it.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Shure down there after this too.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Wow, we but you bought a wedding ring from them.
You're a gold medal winning hockey player. I think they'll
fix this little chip there.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
You go.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Phenomenal Jock Charter though, like I kind of like it.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, because you're a rough and tumble player. Hey, win
battles in the corner, front battles and everything. Your gold
medal has to be chips. In fact, I'm going to
take it and throw it against the wall and chip
it more. How much does this way?
Speaker 5 (08:26):
I don't actually know, but I do know. I think
it was six I want to say it's silver underneath,
but it's six grams of gold.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Everybody that grabs it has the same reaction as WHOA
this thing is happening.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
I tell them it's heavy, but like you can't in
your head fathom how actually heavy it is?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Right, it's my neck.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
I woke up after going out after winning, and I
woke up and Grace and I were like.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Oh Grace as in zumb wingle summy, Yeah, I mean
Barker rolls in. I barely know Grace, I know her
a little bit through you. I just love her last name.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
She's great.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
So with Parker, I'll be like, if you're a coach
of a hockey team, how much trouble do you have
figuring out this equation? Do I prefer planes winkle or
saying some winkle? It's one of the two.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
It's a great lass, it's a good hockey less any idea.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
If you melted this bad boy down, like what is
worth well, I'm on silver. It's like.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
I looked it up though they said this is like
the most expensive you're doing your partner, twenty five hundred bucks.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
There we go.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Ryan Lochtey clearly was in a bad place and was
selling his h this past year, and I think he
got like, I want to say a good amount of money?
Are gonna look it up?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
I mean it's twenty five hundred dollars. If you melted
down for right.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
But not what it's actually worthank you memory wise?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Especially if we got a two set, well, what number
were you in the Olympics? Twenty seven? Okay, So if
we got a two seven tailor heizie on the back,
go and add another zero to that thing. That's twenty
five large Parker. Yeah, right, that's twenty five large yell
three for three hundred and.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
Eighty six thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, that's yeah. And you know what I'm tripping right now?
I should know this name? Who is he? Righty's swimmer?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Swimmer?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, swimmer?
Speaker 6 (10:09):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Two thousand and four Athens, two thousand and eight Beijing,
and twenty twenty sixteen reel.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Did well, I hope you're never in the spot where Yeah,
that's right. No, that we hope so too.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
That would be a disaster.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Did did I hit on a weird topic with the Foxes?
Slash izy slash izy Foxes? What's Parker's role in the
wedding pining equation? Three times?
Speaker 6 (10:33):
I was hopefully we just run over there.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
That tells us everything. Yeah, you've got the banker on
your side.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
We got the banker on the side. No, we're in
a pretty good place.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
I think we even told ourselves let's let's focus on
the Olympics, let's take care of business, and we'll cross
the bridges when we need to cross them. We have
you know, we have venue, we have food, we have
you know, all the big picture stuff. So I think
it's like.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Honeymooning grooms and here comes mom, Here comes Mom today. Yeah, yeah,
sixty percent of it's going to get done in five hours.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
That's just we'reing some chicken turtia soup. We're gonna have
a great yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
So perfect. Let's you know what, Let's make this say
Steve's Appliance's Marathon segment. When Parker and Taylor get their
first home together, they may need appliances, and like many
in their twenties, they'll be looking to save money. Steve's
Appliances dot Com for these kids, Sarah and Jordan, we'll
get you set up with a full kitchen package if needed,
(11:25):
and you don't have to be a gold medal winning
hockey player to secure said savings. This hook is one
of the best we've had in the history of this
radio show. Head to Steve's mentioned KFA in nine to
New Marathons or PSALM twenty three and let the fast delivery,
free recycling, and guaranteed low prices begin. Thank you Steve's
and Steve's Appliances dot Com. After beating Toronto and ot
(11:50):
yesterday with a goal and a couple of assists, that
that season's full throttle for you now. But there had
to be a little little bit of an adjustment right
when you came back.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Yeah, everyone talks about the like post Olympics depression, and
I really only thought that set in when you lost.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
I feel like I definitely felt it in the sense
of like that was the best team I've ever been on,
the most talented team I've ever been on, and we
won and it was, like I said it today, it's
like I, if I look back at it, it was
like a movie and I got to live it for
twenty six days, and if I could go back and
live that all over again, I would, So I think,
you know, definitely coming back and having two days at
(12:29):
home and having to pack my bag again and go
to Montreal and play. I knew that game wasn't gonna
be our best. People hadn't played in twenty days. Are
like my team was able to take a break those
that weren't at the Olympics. And definitely was an adjustment.
Definitely was you know, pace of play, a little bit
of a different, you know, feeling for me, and you know,
I always want to be at my best and to
get a lick of what that looked like. And then
you know, Obviously the frost is fantastic. I love playing
(12:51):
on this team, but it's definitely just two very different things.
And now I think we got back to our game
and we played phenomenal yesterday.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Now, if if I'm here you with questions that have
been oversaturated, I apologize.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
This is good.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Well, the the the Olympic Village, Yeah, I mean, what
was it?
Speaker 6 (13:08):
Like?
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Crazy?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Do you miss it? And Parker, yeah, I think it's
going there. No, no, but here's the sound was beautiful
because I mean he flexed for a year and change
nine to noon about that super special CAFETERII at the
University of Minnesota for the athletes. He couldn't go in, Yeah,
and they couldn't get into the Olympic Village, but they
had the family group text they did, so now you
(13:31):
you swore you said, yes, we all got so close
with this group text waiting in lines and everything. Yeah,
it's probably going to continue after we get back from
the Olympics. As it continued.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Crickets, Yeah, how much going on to the group.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Well, all these girls go back to their own markets, right,
and it's like now here we are as competitors, and
like Taylor was saying, it's like you're you're a part
of the best team that's ever been assembled in women's
hockey for twenty six days, and it's like you try
to just live in it. But then it ends, and
it's like you'll never you'll never get to do that
again until four more years and it'll be a new
group of girls.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
So I think there's there's that to it. But no,
the group check. The group chat is crickets.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Maybe we'll get some some talks in there once playoffs
come around and we'll get a little uh, you know,
a little.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
No chance, No, not no what And it's it's it's
nothing bad, no, And distance is not disdain. That's right,
that's just generally how it was. Sure, Yeah, think about
twenty think about twenty thirty. Yeah, that's right, that's that's
Where are the Olympics in twenty thirty helps? Oh wow,
they're going too far?
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Yeah, not too far from where we just were. Really, no,
it's right there.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
What what even doubt? Now this is several weeks ago,
but I've been meaning to ask you this, what what
even doubt? In the gold medal game against a Canada
team that you guys were smashing game after game, and
I know Paul Land, I know the captain didn't play
in the one before the championship, but nevertheless, you know,
and what was the bit called when you went to
(15:00):
Edmonton and Buffalo a rivalry series, you were whooping him
every single time. Well, that last game was the meat
grinder of all meat grinders ever, the meat grinder. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
I would shout my dad out on this stuff because
he doesn't get enough credit. But we were walking the
day every game. I would get up walk with my
family and Parker to a little cafe. We'd get some
fresh fruit, cappuccino and a croissan and just talk about
the game. And my dad's like, I hope you know
it's going to be two to one, And I'm like, yeah,
(15:29):
good vibes from you, Tony.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
But but he's getting you in the right mindset act
And I knew that.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Like realistically, it's how every World Championship has gone. Yeah,
over time or wining normally, and it's two to one
or three to two, and regardless of how well we played,
like Cana just had to play one good game and
it really doesn't matter how you play up to that
as long as your confidence is good. And yeah, they
have Land and they have all their great players and such,
but I think if they're them, like I don't want
(15:55):
to say they got too high after that first goal,
but like they felt like they could do it.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
And then when we score that one with what three
minutes left.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
To the felt in the arena when they got up, Yeah,
you guys got a little tight probably, And this is
not making you bad players. That's human nature. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
And then you see that and you're like, Okay, let's
see how long this lasts. And in my head, it
lasted about four minutes.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
And then you know, we started to get the game
back at the end of the second and then the
third came around and I'm like, okay, we have this.
We just got to put the puck in the net.
And then obviously that puck goes in, and in my
head on the bench, I'm like, Okay, if we score one,
we're completely fine. But if we don't, we lose. I'm like, well,
that's just how it goes. And we score that goal,
and I remember thinking on the bench, I literally go, guys,
we have it. We have it. We just got to
take it. And then obviously we get to overtime. Hillary
(16:38):
gets in the locker room and says, someone be a hero.
Don't care who it is. Someone everyone raise your hand
right now because everyone in this locker room can do it.
And she's just like, she's amazing. She doesn't say much
when she does, you listen. And we went out there,
and of course it's Megan Keller, our stud defender, making
a move that I wouldn't even make in a game
like that and unbelievable. And to be honest, I didn't
even see the goal. I saw the goal an hour
(16:59):
and a half later because no one could show me
because I sprinted so fast to the bench after I
made the pass because I wanted to get off. Yeah,
I didn't see it until I saw people on the
bench throw their hands up and I turned around really
quick and ran to the fight.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
After that, Wow, holy cow. And the emotions experience there,
it's I mean to even ask somebody if they were
I bet you don't even remember.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Immediately started crying. Yeah, I and everyone else is looking
like you can kind of see the first timers and
Abby Murphy, which is so funny because she's not an
emotional person, but she's bawling. I look at her, I'm
crying and I'm like, we did it, and the first
timers you can see I think me, Tessa, Janicky and
a few other people just bawling, and everyone else like
Carpenter and Night. They just have this huge smile on
(17:39):
their face and two very different emotions but in the
same way. It's it's it's just very true to how
you feel. And I remember I cried forbidden. There's a
picture of me hugging Laila Edwards and I just have
tears streaming down my face and she's just like the
biggest smile on her face. So it's like so cool
to look back at that stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
The picture the you know, the the Age Old Hockey
Championship pick which fans out wide, people sitting in the front,
I mean it coaches behind and off on the side.
They're they're fantastic. Yeah did you did you see fiance
in the background with the photo bomb? I didn't, But
(18:14):
you're in that, I think.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Try to get in it.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Like looking straight ahead, you're slightly off to the left
by a tunnel, like your hands in the air in it.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
But somebody held a Minnesota Gopher flag behind it too.
I don't know if you can see there's I mean
there's a bunch of different pictures.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
That was Frosty, that was Brad Frost. Brad Frost, right.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
He also knows this role though, because after we're like waiting.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
When you say that he knows his role.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Everyone in order to be successful, everyone has another role.
And I'm like waiting on the line and my phone's
back in the locker room, which is ten minutes away
because for us to get to them the game rink,
you walk without your skates, you hold your skates and
your stick, and you walk seven minutes outside inside. The
stories are insane with that.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
But women and men did that both.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
I think there were golf cards. I didn't get a
golf cart. Not sure if the men were getting golf carts, probably,
but yeah, So my phone was all the way back
in the locker room and he's like screaming at me
and waving. He's like, do you want my phone? So
then I grabbed his phone and was able to take
pictures of every and on the ice because no one
else had a phone. Wow, I have some like og picks.
And then there's a video of mer saying we did it,
and something about Canadian tears and some exploitives probably, but
(19:22):
great videos and pictures for sure.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Taylor Hei with a fiance Parker Fox nine to noon.
I'm gonna break here in a second, but did did
fiance send you the video from the vox of all
voxes ever to Vox? I will do it when you
scored it, so Alan Roach, who was oh yes, yeah, yeah,
and he sent it to me right after you scored.
(19:45):
And I was wondering, like why he paused because it's
like twenty seven and then you hear potcho bell I
got on me, Taylor, HEISEI, Taylor, I see because he
had to wait for the other guy to do his thing.
So you showed her that, I show her, well, it's
a keeper forever.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
On one of those walks.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Actually that she was talking about, I showed it to
her and I said that this is exactly what that is.
That's saved in the beautiful photo album and it's it's
something you get to see forever of you scoring.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
And then your name me celebrating my line maker, which
is really cool.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Stick around all right, yeah for a second, Taylor and
Parker Fox and Studio nine to now twenty eight minutes
past the hour.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Back after this, we'll get back in seconds to Gold
Medal Radio.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
But just as the tampering period.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Has opened up, news abound just a few to hit
hit you the listeners with your home for Vikings football
wide receiver Alec Pierce.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I wonder what Jalen Naylor is.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Going to get is Alec Pierce just got a four year,
one hundred and sixteen million dollar deal to return to
the Indianapolis Colts. And we were thinking, hey, the Chiefs
might be in the running back market in the draft now. Actually,
according to Adam Schefter, Kenneth Walker is agreed to sign
with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
So a couple of breaking stories.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
There, tampering period early on, lots of conversation, lots of
bits and steam.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
I will have it for you on the fan Gold
Metal Radio. Taylor Heisi along with a Parker Fox and
studio off yesterday. I don't know how long you're in
these road destinations. I've never been to Toronto. What's Toronto? The
city like?
Speaker 5 (21:30):
Okay, So we stay at a pretty nice hotel kind
of down by the water, and they have a great mall.
It's called the Eaton Center. And if there's a mall,
I'm going to be there. So Grace and I always
find ourselves there. But it's like, honestly a mini New
York City, if I were to say so, There's a
lot going on, and the traffic is posterous, like for
us to get to like one time we stayed in
(21:52):
the city and for us to get to a game,
it took us an hour and twenty minutes and we
were almost late to our own game.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Yes, there are some planning problems with that one.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Correct me if I'm wrong here. Not trying to be
a p w HL elite mind or expert, but you
and the Frost have a nice rival You and the
in Toronto. You guys have a nice rivalry going, right.
I mean you beat him almost a year ago to
get to the finals against Boston. Emphasis on the word
you than the team and the parts I watched yesterday
(22:23):
were quite intense and tightly contested. Nice little rivalry there.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Yeah, it's been awesome. I think from the start of
Yr one. When you look at a team and it's
majority Hockey Canada, that's gonna set me off every time.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
So he probably doesn't know that Canada's head coach is
Toronto's head coaches, which.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
He will no longer be the head coach of Canada
after but he tried to.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Love you so much. Well you beat him every time.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Yeah, but I think just the animosity behind the rivalry
is the most important part. Like there's people on that
team that I know don't like me, and I'm a
likable person, pa like it's something like I'm not. And
I think it's it's all because like there some of
them that I don't like because of on the ice,
but there's some of them that I do. And you know,
you look at that rivalry and a lot of when
we get into plays and we play each other is
very tightly contested and like last last night, that actually
(23:14):
feels like a few days ago.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
But well it was yesterday morning.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
Literally Daylight Savings made it like something like that, And
what Daylight Savings if it was early, I had my
red Bull at like eight thirty. But yeah, it's it's
always a good one. And when it's Team Canada, like
they like you. They lost to us, and I'm a
big part of that, and I think sometimes they look
at it and wow, and you get out there and
you lose and it's tough. But they definitely were feeling
(23:38):
and I think people are complaining about the refs yesterday,
and anytime the refs are on your side, I'll happily
take it in the PWHL because that doesn't always happen.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
All right, So this is the not that I need
to prove this, but this is going to show that
I have all of your albums. The way do I
have to explain what an album is, She's got it okay,
the way you explain the Red Bull part, I would say,
off off. I don't know when it was two three
months ago, is pa. I had my Red Bull at
(24:06):
eight thirty in the morning while sitting by a piano
with somewinkle cold calling teammates to tell them I love
them yes, which is one of the great X submissions
that I've seen within the last X amount of months.
I watched it four times.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
Yeah, I fantastic.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
It was fantastic. How you guys did that?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Man?
Speaker 5 (24:25):
And Grace wanted to do it again. I'm like Grace,
you know, I think we got to keep the people
wanting more, and because it was so good the first time,
I don't know if we'll get the same reactions. Maybe
maybe I should, maybe I should, maybe should do it
for us and I'm like, we're not messing anything up
around here. College is not the time, and we had
gotten these Samsung flip folks shows. We can even do
(24:46):
it on the burner.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I just call and I'm like, no, sweet, did you
have to give those burners back? No phone plan ran out.
It was a month phone plan in Italy.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
It only works in Italy.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
But phone plan runs out. In the group chat, you
got no word to eat, no friends. Taylor doesn't come
out of the village. He's visiting Snoop. Yeah, what was
Snoop deal?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Double g Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:09):
What was meeting him?
Speaker 6 (25:10):
So cool?
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Him and Layla got to meet, I think before we
got to meet as a group, and I remember Parker
got so mad at me because I was taking a
nap during the time he was on our floor in
Athletes Village, and he was like, you're kidding me. He
texted it in the whole family group chat and goes
Taylor just missed meeting Snoop because she was taking a nap.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
I was like, there's got to be another opportunity. And
sure the day I.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
Needed to take a nap, like get in my pregame
nap and and I'm like, I figured I asked Leila
on Mike is he gonna come back? And then I
think it was like a few days after think or
not Thanksgiving Valentine's Day, and he brought us all roses.
He's the sweetest, he was the sweetest guy, brought all
of us roses. He goes, I love I love the girls,
I love the like whatever. We get into group, we
take pictures. He gives us a fake chain and then
(25:53):
he goes, camera, came here. If they win, I'm having
them all in and we're getting to icedout chains. Haven't
gotten the ice out chain at but wow, I'm gonna
have to check in with Layla because I do feel
like that might happen. Well, we went to the club
and we saw him perform live, which was awesome.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Him in French Montana?
Speaker 2 (26:09):
So wait, was it previously planned or did he like
jump up on the stage and say no. Rolling down
the street with Heisi and some legal sipping gin and
juice laid back.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
After we won, we were at the Winterhouse and Hillary,
of course has all the connections. She goes, Okay, who
wants to go to the club, And I'm like, I
don't know, I don't ever go to the club. But hey,
if he's going to be there in French Montana's gonna
be there, I go sign me up. And it's one
of those clubs where they tape your your camera. They
put stickers over your cameras, and for me, I'm like,
(26:39):
I had a few apparel sprits as I ripped those
things right off. I was videotaping with flash in there. Really,
but yeah, the videos I have are so funny because
then there's one of them he goes where my lady's
at and all of my friends are like going crazy
because it's the best section, and yeah, super cool.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
How fast is your fiance playing right now?
Speaker 6 (26:56):
Fast?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Man?
Speaker 6 (26:57):
I'm trying to keep up.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Man, Taylor Isi Parker Big twelve basketball tournament begins Wednesday.
How do you feel about your brother Nate's cyclones and
can you get away to games with your Frost duties?
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Yeah, I haven't gotten down there yet. Parker got to
go two weekends ago weekends ago, and I usually try
to get to one and just things haven't aligned. I
literally have one off day per two weeks, it seems
these days. But I tune in, I watch they had
a tough loss to Arizona.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah, Arizona.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
I always I always bet on Nate. I think some
people don't give him the credit he deserves on Twitter
and everything like that. I think he's a fantastic, fantastic player,
fantastic defensive player, and he plays thirty minutes for a reason.
And really excited. He had his last home game at
hilton Head Colisseum a few days ago, and I texted him,
I'm like, you deserve it, Like, go go out there
and get it. And if I could make it to
(27:49):
a game, I would. At this point, it doesn't look
like I'm gonna be able to, but still tuning in.
Really excited for the Cyclones for sure.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
How tall is Tony Tony six five? I think, all right,
what's your mom's name? Amy tall?
Speaker 5 (28:01):
She's five to ten? Me and her about the same. Yeah,
you're five ten, I guess brother seven foot one? Ryan
the Onanona State Rio said six.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Ten, Oh he's taller.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Oh and and Nate six.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
Five six five six?
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Yeahs about right right? So tall Tony six five? Wow?
How to Ryan? And seven feet?
Speaker 4 (28:24):
He gets taller every time we see him, since I
swear he's just he his lengthy, I'll get out, But yeah,
he can shoot the rock.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
FIFA, FIFA Fairness and Family Act. We got Nate, we
got Taylor. Can't leave out Ryan. Seven feet as I'm tall.
Thought it was six ten scores a bunch for Wenona State.
So go Ryan his his basketball run. There is about Dan, right,
I believe they they're done.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Yeah, they're onto the Division two levels, already onto their
March Madness Tournament or whatever you call it.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
All right, So with that said, could you have been
as good or better at basketball as you are hockey?
Because I know you've told me before you played. Yes,
and it was like sixth grade or something.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
Until seventh grade.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Yeah, okay, so could you honestly and you're an athlete,
so you were competitive, but just be straight, could you
have been as good at basketball as you are at hockey.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
I can't see into the future of things that might
have happened, but if I could have guessed, I have
the capacity to have done it. I don't know what
the opportunities look like or what things would have been like,
but I think me playing on teams that weren't great
as a kid was kind of the reason why I've
gotten to where I'm at. For hockey related reasons. And
(29:39):
you know basketball these great teams, like you look at
Matt Greenway and you know, she's definitely the best player
on her team, and she's scoring these crazy amount of
points in games, and she's really good and going to
go play basketball, Like I can imagine that could have
been me, but who knows. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
But you bring people to go shoot hoops or something
like that, and her form is perfect, really like elbows in,
follow through the knees in a little bit like she'll
beat me and pig if I'm not like making shots,
you know, So one of those things where.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
So even if you use your left hand, are you
right handed? Even if you use your left I need
to can hit those. I need to have all I
need to have all power going on.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
Here's a group at the bottom of the Grand Casino
Arena now and I always shoot. That's my last thing
I do before I go on the locker room, as
I have to hit a three.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Do do women hockey players play hacky sack like the guys.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
We play, we call it feather. It's like it's kind
of like hacky sack, but it's like a harder bottom
with some feathers that come out and you kick it
and it soars up pretty much the same. I quit
soccer a few years ago. It got too much for me. Suer.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
So with off off basketball. You watched Caitlyn Clark play, right, Yeah? Yeah,
me too.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
She reached out to me after we won.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Wow, so me and her on top I should get
your number.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
Oh Instagram DM.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
So I'm going to see a second when she plays
the Links and it's been three years running for us
to meet each other. So I'm gonna se or hopefully
court sides.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Well, that's amazing, and you know what I mean. With
all due respect to Cheryl Reeve and other people in
the WNBA. She hates when I say this, but like
I didn't watch the WA I love basketball, I didn't
watch it for a long time, and I know there
were a lot of great players when that woman was playing.
After I watched her in the Final four with I couldn't,
I watched almost all of her games and then like,
(31:22):
if she's not playing on a Friday night on some
channel called Ion, I'm getting back from calling races of Canterbury,
turning on Ion and watching like Skyler digs for Seattle
play against somebody from Vegas or whatever, so like, yeah,
it's not a bad thing that one polarizing person brought
millions together into it.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
She just got to get healthy this year too, so
that she can have a complete season. And I think
the league and the WNBA.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
Time last season two.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
It did for sure the last two seasons. Yeah, yeah,
they they're in the collective bargaining. Meek Rinder right now, she.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
Had a quote. I think she's like, why don't we
just sit across from the table from each other, shake
hands and see each other I instead of making these
proposals and sending them back to fourthly. Well right, that's
just how you get things done.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Shit, hands need another one, Okay, one more segment, all right,
and then the show's done. So I can't go past
new I mean, this is so good and I have
so much in front of me. Taylor Heisei Gold Medal
Radio fiance Parker Fox here eleven forty five kfam O you.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Final segment nine to noon Free Agency Underway, Gold Medal
Radio just seconds from now. The Dolphins three years, sixty
seven and a half million dollars.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
For Malik Willis.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Malik Willis getting forty five million guaranteed by the Dolphins
while they pay off ninety nine and dead money to Tua.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Also Jalen Watson.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
If you're looking for a corner, the Rams have secured
not just Trent McDuffie via trade, but now Jalen Watson
via free agency.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Both chiefs corners headed out West. Thank you, thank you
very much. And the Vikings with Eric Wilson, Jalen Redman,
I've been paid junior back in the mix. Much more
to come during the core of today, Tomorrow and Wednesday
with the NFL free agency. But as Nordo said, gold
medal radio in play, Taylor Heisey from a team USA
women's squad with the Olympics, brought the gold medal in
(33:11):
It's the bomb fiance Parker Foxes here, got fifteen questions
in front of me, only time to get to two.
And I don't, I don't. I don't want to put
the cliched wet blanket over a super happy, energetic conversation.
But I do want to ask you for four years
ago and change. Yes, you were the final cut for
the twenty twenty two Olympic team. Did that send you
(33:33):
into a dark place, if only for a little while?
Great question, because you're so happy and Peppi and bounced
out of things so well, yeah, but dark E sees.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
Me what I'm not, so I think. I remember I
gave myself like forty eight hours, and I remember I
went home. It was in Blaine, Oh forever. We still
go to that hotel for camps and it really gives
me PTSD. But I remember I called my parents and
they wanted us to stay that night in the hotel
and I'm like, screw that, I'm going home and my
stuff up and I drove home, and I remember I
(34:02):
took a nap the next day on my couch. I
was so exhausted for like three four hours and took
a walk outside and my parents were like, you can be,
you know, do whatever you want, but understand that this
might be the best thing that's ever happened to you,
and you won't understand it for another four and here
we are, ye. And I do think that me not
making that team, regardless of the I'm not winning that
year was probably the best thing to ever happened to me,
(34:23):
and it really kind of I wouldn't say that everything
has gone my way in life, but I do work
really hard for what I do and tend to make
things happen in my favor. And when you know that
didn't happen for me, I'm like, well there it is
like this is this is the one thing in life
that's gonna either deter me for the next four or
it's gonna push me forward. And I think that it
did that.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Okay, So after you trained for it then worked out
with the ladies, I mean you being competitive, unrealistically or not,
it sounds to me like you thought that you were
going to make it.
Speaker 5 (34:54):
You know, the coach being my college coach and everything
being set up the way that it.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Just to the coach.
Speaker 5 (35:00):
No, Joel Johnson at the time was my assistant coach
of the U and got it like he saw me
on a day to day basis and saw me at
my best and saw me at my worst. And I
remember at that Trialt camp, I didn't even get to
play center, which is my real title where I stand,
but I was playing wing and it just wasn't Nothing
was going right for me. I wasn't playing with the
best players. You know, things just weren't working out. And
remember I called my dad and wasn't trying to sugarcoat
(35:22):
I'm like, it hasn't been great, but I do think that,
like everyone knows my potential and my abilities and just
didn't fit the puzzle piece. We had so many great
centers and I wasn't at that time, I think, physically ready.
I was twenty two, you know, hadn't grown into my
body yet and everything. So by the time I ended
up really realizing now how important things were and how
important I making that team was, it was awesome and
(35:43):
I think it was an awesome opportunity that I lost
out on.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
And here we are, despite smacking Canada the way you did,
ye your the USA team did over the X amount
of months. That's why Tony.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
Said it's gonna be two to one.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
See, yeah, it really kind of as a dad goes
back four years not saying, Dad, this sucks. I'm better
than ABC and D I should be on the team.
I thought I was gonna make it. That's what dads does,
not chopping you down at your knees. It's just the
way it is, ryes and they see you're ready for anything.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
Correct, Yeah, that's terrific, is not everything's going to go
your way?
Speaker 2 (36:16):
And let me see snoop deal double g let's do
this to close with your frost. All right, you're looking
to win three consecutive championships. Friday, Seattle is that Grand
Casino Arena? Your Olympic teammate Hillary Night out for Seattle
due to a torn mcl yep with which I just
read this morning. She played during the Olympics. Yeah, I mean,
(36:39):
was she like pushing through pain all the time.
Speaker 5 (36:42):
Yeah, she was doing probably treatment about four or five
hours a day. Geez, getting things done. But like all
of us knew how bad it was, But honestly, I
think it was worse. She sugarcoats it. She always has
a smile on her face. She's our leader for a reason.
And I just think that, you know, now looking back
on how well you did in the things that she
was able to accomplish with a bomb knee and me
(37:03):
being like Parker knows it, like I've played with a knee,
race on from my quad down to my ankle and
it's not fun. And she was taped up. You know,
if you look at our LTIR and everything, Kennell coins
go feels out her, she's out, Bil goes out like
just everyone that played through it. Just it's determination, it's resiliency,
so a plus.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Thank you for bringing the gold medal in. I appreciate you.
