(00:08):
All right. I was waiting forthe build up. There there's the kick.
I was waiting for the old kick, the old tidal wave of noise
of sound, because it had kindof like that early eighties vibe, that
synth thing going. I was like, wait, this isn't throwback thirst.
I thought I was getting married.It knew me off too. I was
very confused in the beach ump.I said, wait a second, I
(00:29):
was waiting. I had my breathheld. You know, I love you,
and you're saying today, you knowwhat, I don't care what's routine,
most normal. I'm throwing everything outand we're just gonna go full blown
experimentation. Absolutely like a twelveth gradechemistry class here. That's exactly what it
is. Yeah, just don't putanything else. We might don't ask me
what my grade in chemistry was,by the way, Oh no, you
(00:51):
know, chemistry wasn't my strong cityeither. I was literature type of gravitational
pull, but biology I did well. Chem Street I'm like, what are
I have to learn all these littleshapes and everything that makes a chemical Just
tell me if you know what Igot at a chemistry. What I got
at a chemistry Just the fact thatsomething's mixing. Some things don't mix,
(01:14):
and we can use that analogy herefor sports earned that I cannot recite one
one hundredth of the periodic table ofthe elements. I don't know, I
know, h that's it. Ihope my wife wasn't listening here to this
because she's a teacher te hi abysteaching fourth grade right now. I think
she's teaching fourth grade. Okay,Well, she takes her own breaks too.
(01:36):
Maybe she gets a banana, peanutbutter and jelly and she loves peanut
butter. Oh it's so good.I think it might. I think it
might might have had a conversation withher. Oh, like I would pull
back on the PB. Yeah,oh over, I'm a peb too,
you know, I do it onmy own just for my own consistency.
(01:57):
I can't do peeb there's a alsoinvolved. Oh right, I'm that I
told you did I nothing. Ibrought food to your house in the Super
Bowl. Can't do peanut butter,can't do nuts of any kind, tree
nuts. I think you did tellme that, and I just chose to
forget it. That's okay, Imean I just wind something else to eat
(02:17):
nuts. There is no hard feeling, you know what. That's a good
thing. So I don't eat befor pork, right, and it cuts
a lot of things out of mydiet that I wouldn't have going for now.
Is that is that? Is thatjust a life choice or is that
analogy thing? It was a lifechoice okay, yeah, but I made
when I was like ten, andthen I just never started eating it again.
(02:38):
I thought about I've thought about goingvegan at fifty. I'm not gonna
lie and friends, go ahead andripen me y, you won't get to
fifty. Yeah, why at thatage? Self preservation? Why you're gonna
start preserving at fifty? I'm trying. It's a random number. I'm throwing
out there. It's a random number, as someone had. I still want
(02:58):
to enjoy the red meat right nowand all that. The clock is ticking.
So I want to hear kids assomeone that has done the vegan thing.
I did it for six weeks.It's really you feel really good to
lie you see it did. Yourbody feels great, You're you're energetic.
It's not as bad as people mightthink. I would say, try it
(03:20):
yourself, Mike, and do itbefore fifty. Yea you should do it
when you when's the next time youplan on going shopping with the wife about
two weeks from now, because sheusually because I have a game this weekend
and so she doesn't usually get outto go shop. She does the whole
instacart thing. So I would plantwo kids. I would say, hey,
honey, what do you think aboutgoing vegan for the next two weeks?
(03:45):
I would try it. I didit for two years. I was
vegan. Everybody vegan. You're afour, nine, four or five one.
It's not that hard if you're alreadyeating kind of like I do.
But it you realize what animal productsare in certain things. So even if
you do it and you're not vegananymore, you make different choices when you're
off. So yeah, look atthis here from two ways. Either one,
(04:10):
I'm gonna feel like a new manthat I've broken through a new level
where at places I've never gone beforepreviously, or two, I'm just giving
insanely hilarious content here for the restof her. I remember my very first
year here on the job, Igot ripped for bringing in a cauliflower cross
pizza and it was good. Itwas so good. They're so good and
(04:31):
she ripped for that. You knowhow we are here, everything you do
can be used against you in thequarter being made fun of. That's all,
Oh my gosh. Yeah, weshould throw that into the Voice Texas.
Well. Yeah, okay from thefour two five forgetting people's allergies and
alcohol in the roy Rogers. Thatis correct, because yesterday I was talking
(04:54):
about my bartending experience. It wasa rob Roy. I was thinking of,
which is a whiskey based drink,and I thought, you never had
a rob Roy. It's kind oflike a Manhattan Ish she drink. Yeah,
it it served that same way.But I we because we were talking
about our Veggas rankings yesterday and ChristopherKidd said, you know, he would
(05:17):
drink roy Rogers and I confused itwith a rob Roy and I said that
I was accidentally definitely giving people alcoholwhen they weren't asking for it. But
no, it was just the wrongdrink. I was thinking of. So
is bourbon vegan? I believe itis. I've heard Bourbon is vegan.
(05:40):
Let's go to ID Vodka's vegan also, I believe so it's potato based.
There's well in certain vodkas. ButI always think of a potato based And
you know me from my primary job. I work around hockey players and hockey
people. And the whole game hasevolved, I mean really across pro sports
for the last ten twenty years.And hockey was world famous for having a
(06:04):
culture of, Hey, we goout and play, let's go out and
party afterward. We'll crack some beers, open, have a good time,
come right back with a whole bunchstories here for the very next morning.
Well, all of a sudden,then science got involved, and we then
gravitated right toward more of a cultureof ask yourself a question, should I
(06:27):
be putting this in my body?Oh, at any certain time, that's
a dangerous question. And I've heardof literally players who have been on the
verge of being drafted or making theirway to the pro level, where they
text a nutritionist and they go tothe store and say can I eat this?
With a screen grab a photo,can I eat this? Can I
eat this? And it's a differentgame now. And the one thing that
(06:51):
you hear over and over if youknow you want to loosen up a little
bit over a beverage, there isto eat this, not that type of
thing thing. Scrap the beer andgo for vodka. Oh god, you're
just speaking to my core right now. I just love me, but I
love me. Something doesn't much,doesn't It doesn't. And yeah, it's
(07:15):
but the tolemerdo. They came inhere when I first started and they brought
that in and I hadn't partaken toomuch in Tully time, and it is
smooth. You can't have it overthe rocks. You can have it with
a little diet, you can haveit just a shot and it's fantastic.
So yeah, thank you Tully forwinging me back into the whiskey. And
(07:43):
so anyway, there are a lotof texts coming in. I guess we'll
get it into it. The nextsegments Sports Right in Any three point three

Let's go, let's I did notthink that Stanford would be a problem
for them, but I was disheartenedby that Apple Cup loss. But good
(09:09):
for the Huskies, you know,like they kind of went out fighting on
that one. I was really rootingfor them against USC just so that we
wouldn't have a show yesterday, honestly, but no, I would have prayed
for the cross talk for you andAshley Ryan. I would that that would
have been appointment list. I feellike Ashley and I deserve a show.
(09:33):
We get along so well, we'reboth high in the rankings for Vegas.
Maybe I should just go to Vegasinto a show. Maybe she and I
go to the final four instead ofyou know what's in Vegas this summer the
NHLL draft, but day, youknow what, This would easily make up
for me not being ranked them onthe twelve Here, do you want to
go party to Vegas? I'm gonnago out to Vegas and do the show

(10:39):
picture is going to be out thereby by some shape or form, because
that's a guy I want to taketo Vegas. And we need to revisit
this conversation as well, because kidis exactly the person I want in Vegas,
and I can't believe he ranks solow or fifteen minutes away here from
voicemails. I want to hear yourone my one time in Vegas story from
one of the voicemail cares one timein Vegas. I want to hear him
(11:01):
from the real people. But Iwant to hear your stuff because I have
told you half of my stuff showI appreciate you, thank you. You
want to leave me off your rankings. It's fair game. I'm taking it
fair game. I just I mean, I think it was a respectful leaving
(11:24):
off though, because they respect letme got you, Alan Fitz. They
respect you guys so much that theywere like, that's on top, all
right. We're going to talk toFits here in about an hour about kracking
matters and also Vegas matters. Also, I do also want to uh.
I also want to dive into whatI thought was the line of the night
last night for the kracking, Andwe'll get into the crack and stuff in
(11:46):
just a bit, because they lostthat and that was a gup punch last
night to to one to the WashingtonCapitals. But it was also on the
night of Jordan every being saluted forhis one thousandth NHL game. And you
get that far, You're doing tonof things right in any sport, but
especially in the NHL, where itis so hard to hang on for two
hundred, three hundred, four hundred, five hundred games. You've got to
(12:07):
be a great elite player to getto a thousand. One of Jordan Emberley's
favorite things is music. He's verygood on the guitar acoustic wise. I'd
love to get him here in studiohere to just you know, from a
few tunes out. But his favoriteband is Nickelback. He's a Nickelback.
Guys they played He's not my Vegaslist. They they they they they played
(12:33):
Nickelback last night. It was youknow, they usually have the you know,
the electronic music, dance music remixesfor you know, the players warm
up tunes usually now, but insalute of Everly last night, they played
all Nickelback. It picture thing isthat that's one of their st this photograph.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that'sthe one I was thinking of.
(12:54):
I don't I just like it's usones that would just come on the radio
when you were a kid and youwould just hear it, and you're like,
but if that's his music? Highschool graduation photo. Look at this
photograph every time? It makes melaugh. How much do you hate Nicolebacker?
Love them? You know what?Okay? All right, all right,
(13:16):
I'm gonna throwing myself out there.I go back as underrated. I
don't mind them. Do a lotof their songs sound the same? Yes,
I think so, But I don'tmind them. They're not bad.
Okay, They're not bad. Yeah, please roast him. But I will
tell you a story though about theguy we're filling in for, Jim Moore,
(13:37):
a band that I had no ideaabout skill it so I used to
do this thing. I love Skillet. Also, okay, they're pretty good.
It's kind of like Eminescence. AndI didn't know they were Christian rock.
I mean, that doesn't matter becauseyou don't hear it in the music.
It's just powerful, fun music.It's not my exact thing that I
like. Also, they're they're they'rein the assum they were. I used
(14:00):
to have pod on my iPods workingout like back of the Day game in
my twenty yeah, yeah, whenI was lifting in college anyway, So
I found out that Skillet was Jim'sfavorite bands. And when I was producing
a show that I used to workon, I would surprise my hosts with
their heroes and just like randomly andjust they would never know that they were
(14:24):
coming on. So I just neededto know their hero list, and Skillett
for some reason was Jim. SoI contacted the band through everyone and went
through very several layers of contacts tofinally reach them and got I told my
other hosts at the time because itwas a three person show that we were
(14:45):
interviewing this NFL network guy, becauseI knew that they would spill the beans
to Jim, and I got thelead singer of Skillet, and he was
doing the Pew of Fair at thetime too, so it was fortuitous and
it was a good promotion for them. So they did it, and I
told the other hosts, but Ilet them know beforehand. I'm like the
lead singer of Skillet, He's comingin Sex degree is a separation. Also,
(15:09):
Amy, my wife, one ofthe gals in our wedding. One
of her bridesmaids brother the drummer ofSkillet. That's amazing. So anyway,
I surprised Jim the other two hosts, who I told right before the interview
that we're interviewing an NFL network guy. I told him. I was like,
hey, it's actually the lead skillIt's skill It. It's skill It.
(15:31):
They forgot, They're like, whois this NFL network. I'm like,
I told you, this is asurprise for Jim. Anyway, the
guy couldn't have been nicer the leadsinger, and then he offered him and
his entire family tickets. He gotto go backstage meet the band and everything.
So I just wanted to talk about, you know, a band that
I don't necessarily listen to. Isee Jim as a skillet guy, but
(15:54):
that's fascinating. Oh I have videosof him jumping. They're awesome. They're
awesome. They are so good.It always got their rock outside, you
know him's rockets. Oh yeah,Jim, Jim definitely has his things.
So I can't wait to talk moreabout this with fits. So al Koniski
are our dear Color analyst on theCrack and Audio Network side. Last night,
(16:17):
was commenting on the whole Nickelback thing. I wish we had the audio
right now, it's up there.It's in the archives there. It was
going to take a while to diginto. I think it happened back in
period one or period two. Butwe were talking about the whole Nickelback thing,
the phenomenon and being Jordan Everley's favoriteband. And they even had a
tribute video from the entire band ofNickelback up on the video board last night
(16:38):
saying Jordan Everley, congratulations one thousandgames. And the band participated. Yes,
they were up on the board sayingJordan Everley, congrats in one thousand
games. And then Everett, outof commercial break gets into Nickelback, and
you know, it's a mini conversationbefore play gets back going, and Everett
said something of you know, Ilike nickel Back, I don't I think
(17:00):
they get a little bit too muchhate, especially south of the border down
here, and Al Koniski are ourresident friend from British Columbia goes Canada's Metallica.
I bout fell out of my chairand laughing. He called a right,
Nickelback is Canada's Metallica. Those theexact words from al Kanisky. You
(17:23):
agree four nine four five one isnickel Back Canada's Metallica four nine four five
one. Let's open the flood gateshere. You guys have avails. Also
you have aver Levine. Okay,rush, just rush, also rush,
right, you have Rush? Okay, all right, you got some standing
around there, But that is kindof correct. I would agree with al
(17:47):
on that one. But that istheir Metallica, all right. I'm opening
up the floodgates here for voicemail.I like it is Nickelback Canada's Metallica.
Okay, I like it. Oh, I like this one. If Essin
Ashley had their own show, theamount of poop jokes would be astronomical.
That is a correct because there's nopoop that isn't a good poop. And
(18:12):
I will stand up that knocking themic around Starry about that. I think
they'll get over it. Everyone's allgood for a poop joke, right,
I mean, poop jokes are great. You got one, you got one.
I'm off of five hours asleep.There's no way I got poop jokes
in my head right now. Okay, I don't know. I feel like
that's my last thing that I fallon. I'm a mirror innocent bystander Okay,
(18:33):
I have all these vitamins that youcan dig. I brought in raw
honey for Chuck's voice. I'm justtelling you if you need it. We
got break coming up here. Ohyeah, we got we got some time.
We got some time to kill you. We would have been bringing up
Vgan burgers. Mike Vegan, youmean people who try to tell me that
woo sorry, we got a lovethat reaction. Okay, I didn't read
(19:00):
that one jobs they all read meat. There's a huge difference between a hamburg
that's covered with a sugary sauce thatyou eat with fries and drink, versus
a grassbed bison or elk red.Meat in itself isn't bad at all.
It's what you eat it with.And I agree with you two six.
I agree. I just also feellike cutting that out of For me,
(19:25):
cutting that out of my diet,I don't have the add ons because I
don't eat it, you know,the bacon, the cheese, the fries
and all that. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not gonna like sit down and
eat a veggie burger with a sideof fries and fake bacon and think that
that's healthy. You have to havea cheat meal, though, everyone's got
a cheat meal. I ask allthe time, and they have cheap meals.
(19:45):
But it's like once a day.And here's my difference. Usually or
it's it's once a week. Inmy difference here, it's like once a
day or maybe like once an hour. Wait, what is what is their
cheat meal? Oh? Like they'llthey'll do the burgers, fries, heats.
Oh, but they're working out.Someone even someone even said you know
what I'm going with, Like Ithink it may have been Brandon TANNEV who
(20:06):
said, I'm getting the triple scoopof ice cream. Everything on there,
everything, Yep, the spring.This is not the this is good.
Meet the crack and stuff that Icollect every training camp on media day and
it's up there by the way plugon the iHeartRadio app audio. I would
like to hear that regularly. Ifsomeone reminded us this is a sports station,
but guess what we're talking about sports? This is lifestyle stuff here.
(20:30):
Well yeah, and it does integratebecause sports are part of everything, and
I absolutely love it. This issuper fun and people are weighing in a
lot on the Canadian exports of music. I want to remind you again introducing

Chriska just turned the light, Sally, I know it's getting serious.
Now, it's getting serious. Hejust hasn't moved in a while. And
(21:37):
I think their motions is a deepstate of concentration. I know, okay,
Well, I just want to hearabout Vegas. I want to hear
about food. I want to hearabout everything, and also maybe what you
think this team looks like a SamHowell as the backup quarterback. I can't
wait voicemails next, And so everyonce in a while since his dearly departed.
(22:00):
He uh shows up all of asudden. I don't use cash,
ever, I don't know do youuse cash? When is the last time?
I can't remember it last time Iused. Let's try it again,
ready, Okay, let's go three. Two. Hey, guys, this
does bring back memories from when Iused to play softball. So we were
at one of the hotel pools andmy buddy was standing on the diving board
(22:23):
and I said, hey, doesyour probation officer know you're in a pool
with kids? Yeah, I needlessto say. We had the pool to
ourselves that day. That's oh myno, that's amazing. How to get
the pool to yourself? Oh goodness? Did he say his name? I
(22:48):
want to go to Vegas with thatguy? Did he clear out one of
the big pools where you have likethat? That? That that the whole
like eighteen cabanas set up like around of the KJR time listeners, longtime
friends. Jesse Sleeves, Oh Jesse. But I met him on a river
raft actually, and he was duringCOVID, so we all had masks on.
(23:10):
He recognized my voice and he wasJesse without sleeves at that point.
So he's matured to with sleeves.Now all right. Second voicemail, Hey,
Mike, I know you asked forcharacters to leave you voicemails, but
in case you get one from JohnStanton about his Vegas trip, that's not
aim. No way that guy spendingmoney in Vegas. I don't know.
(23:33):
Maybe he got like a group onor something. Always enjoy when you're in
Mike. Good job, man,Thanks, appreciate the compliments. You are
doing a really good job. There'sa group on app downloaded, yet you
can probably find a you know,discount somewhere at the holiday inn. I
(23:55):
don't think I would like to stripin Vegas, aren't we technically that?
I think? I think I thinkthat that that that one Randall holiday Inn
where you're going on the group onapp might be closer to the one scene
and hangover where they're trying to exchangethe money and Doug pops out of the
car, but it's the wrong Dougthough. Oh yeah, they're like halfway
(24:17):
to the California border at that point. I remember that whole I just watched
the third one the other day andit was so funny that it might be
that if there was one movie inmy house. That might be the one
go to for Amy and I overand over and over see I go like
the Chris Barley era. I'm TommyBoy, and we'll do all three of
(24:38):
them hangover one, two, andthree. That's good, that's good.
Yeah, you need your own.Yeah, the hangover is too much for
me. It just reminded me toomuch of my own expl I might have
been the person lost at three.Dude, not send me to Vegas on
a bachelor ratt and have it beSaint Patrick's Day and March Bandits at the
(25:03):
same time, Like I'm sorry,Like you're just triple have me be a
good drinker. It was just okay, I got lost for a little while.
Number three a kid. I alsodo not partake in the Devil's juice.
But has anybody introduced you to thedevil lettuces? Bro, you don't
(25:26):
do okay, never smoked, neverdrank, although smoking looks way cooler than
drinking. If I had as Iwould agree with that it does look cooler.
You're right, I'm gonna introduce youto something else, Devil's lettuce,
maybe the Devil's fun guy. It'sa fun guy. No, he's never
(25:48):
gonna do It's fine, good morning. Where the hell our pucking gym at?
I tuned to listen to fucking Jimand I hear you again? Why

to hear us. But you knowwhat, Puck and Jim are on amazing
vacations right now, and you shouldbe. I can't wait. I can't
wait to hear the documentation of thissaid vacation. Oh yeah, well they're
on separate vacations, so I don'tknow. And they and they all deserve
(26:32):
their downtime. They deserve their privatetime. I mean, I'm the first
to admit I have not check Puck'sTwitter account or even gyms and Gym's was
appointment viewing during the whole Huskies runto the National championship game. It was,
But I'm not check. You knowwhat, colleagues, you just let
them be. You let them be. Yeah, exactly, let's go yes
(26:56):
four. Hey guys, Sorry aboutthat stupid, stupid pass I tried to
make last night. It just didn'twork out in my favor. It is
basically an own goal. It's stupiddecision. And I mean Gruby was pissed
off at me yesterday. He didn'tsay anything to me. He just flipped
(27:18):
on Romstein to host Mesh and wasslamming Doss boots full of shot and optimator.
That's it. Sorry, you getthirty seconds, well thoughts inside your
head. Sorry, you get thirtyseconds and written what was that beeping?

thank you, it's very good.Oh yeah, ups Aaron, Oh oh
we have an actual name for that, Hi Aeron, thank you. Uh.
But yeah, that is uh alot of tasking. But that's all
(28:03):
you. I'm sorry. That ishockey right there. Poor Joey. Joey
had a little booboo last night inthe second period. And he's so good
at playing the puck too, likehe's like a third defenseman back there.
And I don't want to get intotoo much inside the game because this is
a fun and games you know,laugh all you want segment here, No,
but you should talk about it becauseit's your expertise, and we're going
(28:26):
to talk more with Fits about thisever it fits you at twelve o'clock.
But there's gonna be mistakes made.Sometimes it doesn't matter if you're Joey to
Cord, Matt's been here, svincedn But last night to Cord tried to
play the puck in, put abig old oopsie into the wrong guy,
tj Oshi, five feet away fromhis own nets, and tj Oshi had
(28:47):
a big gaping hole to deposit thepuck in for a one nothing lead.
Yep, that was called just somany euphemisms called, she said, and
that's what this show does. SoI'm gonna steer clear of all of them.
But and me five down now orfour down, I've lost next one.
I would like to know what thehell is wrong with the Kraken period.
(29:15):
I know last year was kind ofanomaly for a second year franchise,
but this year has been semi frustratingto watch. Scoring right now, trouble
scoring now. They they scored fourgoals on Vegas, but can you do
(29:38):
it over and over and over andover? Consistency is a big issue right
now, especially right now. AndI had Curtis Crabtree onto the postgame show
last night. I love me someCurtis. I love Curtis here and he
doesn't. He does an incredible jobnow on the TV side with our Fox
friends comes right, I back ishappy to share his thoughts for about twenty
(30:02):
five minutes. But anyway we can. I think the point was this,
we can talk about the oopsis thatJoey Dcord had last night. Andre Berakowski
also who coughed the puck up forthe breakaway goal that Washington wont it on
Conor McMichael. But the ultimate issuehere is how many games can you play
(30:25):
where you have to be afraid ofmaking a mistake, where one mistake,
maybe two, but one mistake cancost you the game all that because you're
not scoring enough. They had justone goal last night, yep, and
one goal time after time after timeafter time. But they're not dead yet.
(30:45):
They went about twenty minutes without ashot on gold nearly last night.
That's exhausting that that was a concerningpart for me. Now, as we
said, hey, the Yogi berratonce said over and over till it's over.
But we're closer and closer. Nowit's to playoff elimination that we are
here to a playoff. Sp it'sgetting closet all right. Next one Geno

There? I think we're all superlate. Yeah, we're gonna come
(31:52):
back and talk about something. Ithink Twitter the day next kid, I
got to hand it to you.It sounds like something that's the mix of
(32:14):
maybe the last thing I heard inthe club plus the opening of the Titanic.
Oh you haven't heard nothing yet.You have you got an hour to
go here, very odd remix inyour head. Man, When I said
experiment, you're you're experimenting here?You know, throw the trap? There
comes a trap? You know?Windows down system up once again once once
(32:38):

here to my left. You youwere no, no, no, no,
(34:08):
I was verified on Twitter. It'shard to get verified on Instagram.
And no, I'm just like,I don't want to be verified on anything.
After you on took over and thatall went away, I was like,
nop, I'm good. We haveone friend who's verified on Instagram coming
up. That's ever it fits youwhat he has to be. I mean,
he's the face, he's the voiceof a teams, was verified a
(34:30):
long time ago to I mean,all right. Tweet of the day.
Found this from Barstool Sports, andI try not to try to follow barstool
too much here, but this wastoo good to ignore. Ryan Whitney,
who used to be an NHL defensemannow he's a part of the hockey crew
out there for Barstool, had thisunbelievable story about playing golf with Michael Jordan.
(34:53):
And you know, if you getinto anything, I don't care if
it's one on one one, ifit's golf, if it's even just shooting
pennies right toward the edge of aroom, like in last dance you get
into someone with with MJ, heis out there to eat your lunch because
it's as part of his competitive naturehe will not let it doesn't matter you're
(35:16):
earning scale either. MJ was notgoing to let anyone like fly. You
know, you bet him ten grandand you could be the person changing his
sheets in a hotel. So anyway, so ten thousand dollars were at steak
here for thirty six holes of golf, and it's Ryan Whitney out there with
a lot of Michael Jordan's buddies,MJ himself, and you know, you
(35:40):
think about it's an awesome experience toplay with golf of Michael Jordan. But
maybe you play golf with him,how nervous are you gonna be? Well,
MJ is not saying a word aword to him for the first rough
nace thirty four holes. But ifI read this correctly, here it gets
out that Ryan Whitney was saying hewas a scratch golfer. And on the
(36:05):
thirty fifth hole the second round througheighteen holes, he's in the seventeenth hole
with the yeah, he blows aten foot putt and at this point MJ
finally pipes up and says something thatI can't say on the air here,
but just you know, chirp sometrash talks as usual. And then and
(36:27):
then after this, he heard thatRyan Whitney talking about being a scratch golfer
and he says, you couldn't scratchmy wife's rearand that's it? Like,
are you kidding me? That is? I feel like he's self owning there?
Are you kidding me? Okay?Got he got absolutely bagged though by
(36:50):
by by MJ saying that you're noteven close to being a scratch golfer.
You couldn't even scratch my wife's rear. End it's a good burn. That's
a a burn because to get tothat like, that's a burn that makes
you think and I don't like tothink. Are there rules up to what
you can and can't say around them? Jay? Because he can chirp you,
(37:13):
but can you chirp him back?Though? I think you can.
But he's gonna you have to goin knowing he's gonna own you in some
way, because I'm sorry, he'sgoing to go on anything. I don't
care if it is competitive eating.He's going to going to Hey, Kobe
Yashi or whoever that guy Joey isand Coney Island, You're done. Yeah,
(37:36):
so yeah. I feel like there'sa lot of euphemisms that would come
out of that kind of competition,and I would like it. But I
binged the last dance during the end. I watched it back to back to
back to back to back to backto back, and I was like,
no, I've never seen it.They called the head of security and to
play a quick game of pennies inthere and had a security feme. He
(37:58):
was like, just get out ofhere and go go running at a center.
I cannot handle against the magic exactly. And I just I love that
competitive nature and I but it's agift and it's also a detriment to some
people. And I think that thelast dance showed the beauty of both.
That's great, speaking of beauty asever fits you. Right around the corner
(38:21):
here for the crack and we'll talkto him next
All right. I was waiting forthe build up. There there's the kick.
I was waiting for the old kick, the old tidal wave of noise
of sound, because it had kindof like that early eighties vibe, that
synth thing going. I was like, wait, this isn't throwback thirst.
I thought I was getting married.It knew me off too. I was
very confused in the beach ump.I said, wait a second, I
(00:29):
was waiting. I had my breathheld. You know, I love you,
and you're saying today, you knowwhat, I don't care what's routine,
most normal. I'm throwing everything outand we're just gonna go full blown
experimentation. Absolutely like a twelveth gradechemistry class here. That's exactly what it
is. Yeah, just don't putanything else. We might don't ask me
what my grade in chemistry was,by the way, Oh no, you
(00:51):
know, chemistry wasn't my strong cityeither. I was literature type of gravitational
pull, but biology I did well. Chem Street I'm like, what are
I have to learn all these littleshapes and everything that makes a chemical Just
tell me if you know what Igot at a chemistry. What I got
at a chemistry Just the fact thatsomething's mixing. Some things don't mix,
(01:14):
and we can use that analogy herefor sports earned that I cannot recite one
one hundredth of the periodic table ofthe elements. I don't know, I
know, h that's it. Ihope my wife wasn't listening here to this
because she's a teacher te hi abysteaching fourth grade right now. I think
she's teaching fourth grade. Okay,Well, she takes her own breaks too.
(01:36):
Maybe she gets a banana, peanutbutter and jelly and she loves peanut
butter. Oh it's so good.I think it might. I think it
might might have had a conversation withher. Oh, like I would pull
back on the PB. Yeah,oh over, I'm a peb too,
you know, I do it onmy own just for my own consistency.
(01:57):
I can't do peeb there's a alsoinvolved. Oh right, I'm that I
told you did I nothing. Ibrought food to your house in the Super
Bowl. Can't do peanut butter,can't do nuts of any kind, tree
nuts. I think you did tellme that, and I just chose to
forget it. That's okay, Imean I just wind something else to eat
(02:17):
nuts. There is no hard feeling, you know what. That's a good
thing. So I don't eat befor pork, right, and it cuts
a lot of things out of mydiet that I wouldn't have going for now.
Is that is that? Is thatjust a life choice or is that
analogy thing? It was a lifechoice okay, yeah, but I made
when I was like ten, andthen I just never started eating it again.
(02:38):
I thought about I've thought about goingvegan at fifty. I'm not gonna
lie and friends, go ahead andripen me y, you won't get to
fifty. Yeah, why at thatage? Self preservation? Why you're gonna
start preserving at fifty? I'm trying. It's a random number. I'm throwing
out there. It's a random number, as someone had. I still want
(02:58):
to enjoy the red meat right nowand all that. The clock is ticking.
So I want to hear kids assomeone that has done the vegan thing.
I did it for six weeks.It's really you feel really good to
lie you see it did. Yourbody feels great, You're you're energetic.
It's not as bad as people mightthink. I would say, try it
(03:20):
yourself, Mike, and do itbefore fifty. Yea you should do it
when you when's the next time youplan on going shopping with the wife about
two weeks from now, because sheusually because I have a game this weekend
and so she doesn't usually get outto go shop. She does the whole
instacart thing. So I would plantwo kids. I would say, hey,
honey, what do you think aboutgoing vegan for the next two weeks?
(03:45):
I would try it. I didit for two years. I was
vegan. Everybody vegan. You're afour, nine, four or five one.
It's not that hard if you're alreadyeating kind of like I do.
But it you realize what animal productsare in certain things. So even if
you do it and you're not vegananymore, you make different choices when you're
off. So yeah, look atthis here from two ways. Either one,
(04:10):
I'm gonna feel like a new manthat I've broken through a new level
where at places I've never gone beforepreviously, or two, I'm just giving
insanely hilarious content here for the restof her. I remember my very first
year here on the job, Igot ripped for bringing in a cauliflower cross
pizza and it was good. Itwas so good. They're so good and
(04:31):
she ripped for that. You knowhow we are here, everything you do
can be used against you in thequarter being made fun of. That's all,
Oh my gosh. Yeah, weshould throw that into the Voice Texas.
Well. Yeah, okay from thefour two five forgetting people's allergies and
alcohol in the roy Rogers. Thatis correct, because yesterday I was talking
(04:54):
about my bartending experience. It wasa rob Roy. I was thinking of,
which is a whiskey based drink,and I thought, you never had
a rob Roy. It's kind oflike a Manhattan Ish she drink. Yeah,
it it served that same way.But I we because we were talking
about our Veggas rankings yesterday and ChristopherKidd said, you know, he would
(05:17):
drink roy Rogers and I confused itwith a rob Roy and I said that
I was accidentally definitely giving people alcoholwhen they weren't asking for it. But
no, it was just the wrongdrink. I was thinking of. So
is bourbon vegan? I believe itis. I've heard Bourbon is vegan.
(05:40):
Let's go to ID Vodka's vegan also, I believe so it's potato based.
There's well in certain vodkas. ButI always think of a potato based And
you know me from my primary job. I work around hockey players and hockey
people. And the whole game hasevolved, I mean really across pro sports
for the last ten twenty years.And hockey was world famous for having a
(06:04):
culture of, Hey, we goout and play, let's go out and
party afterward. We'll crack some beers, open, have a good time,
come right back with a whole bunchstories here for the very next morning.
Well, all of a sudden,then science got involved, and we then
gravitated right toward more of a cultureof ask yourself a question, should I
(06:27):
be putting this in my body?Oh, at any certain time, that's
a dangerous question. And I've heardof literally players who have been on the
verge of being drafted or making theirway to the pro level, where they
text a nutritionist and they go tothe store and say can I eat this?
With a screen grab a photo,can I eat this? Can I
eat this? And it's a differentgame now. And the one thing that
(06:51):
you hear over and over if youknow you want to loosen up a little
bit over a beverage, there isto eat this, not that type of
thing thing. Scrap the beer andgo for vodka. Oh god, you're
just speaking to my core right now. I just love me, but I
love me. Something doesn't much,doesn't It doesn't. And yeah, it's
(07:15):
but the tolemerdo. They came inhere when I first started and they brought
that in and I hadn't partaken toomuch in Tully time, and it is
smooth. You can't have it overthe rocks. You can have it with
a little diet, you can haveit just a shot and it's fantastic.
So yeah, thank you Tully forwinging me back into the whiskey. And
(07:43):
so anyway, there are a lotof texts coming in. I guess we'll
get it into it. The nextsegments Sports Right in Any three point three

Let's go, let's I did notthink that Stanford would be a problem
for them, but I was disheartenedby that Apple Cup loss. But good
(09:09):
for the Huskies, you know,like they kind of went out fighting on
that one. I was really rootingfor them against USC just so that we
wouldn't have a show yesterday, honestly, but no, I would have prayed
for the cross talk for you andAshley Ryan. I would that that would
have been appointment list. I feellike Ashley and I deserve a show.
(09:33):
We get along so well, we'reboth high in the rankings for Vegas.
Maybe I should just go to Vegasinto a show. Maybe she and I
go to the final four instead ofyou know what's in Vegas this summer the
NHLL draft, but day, youknow what, This would easily make up
for me not being ranked them onthe twelve Here, do you want to

this conversation as well, because kidis exactly the person I want in Vegas,
and I can't believe he ranks solow or fifteen minutes away here from
voicemails. I want to hear yourone my one time in Vegas story from
one of the voicemail cares one timein Vegas. I want to hear him
(11:01):
from the real people. But Iwant to hear your stuff because I have
told you half of my stuff showI appreciate you, thank you. You
want to leave me off your rankings. It's fair game. I'm taking it
fair game. I just I mean, I think it was a respectful leaving
(11:24):
off though, because they respect letme got you, Alan Fitz. They
respect you guys so much that theywere like, that's on top, all
right. We're going to talk toFits here in about an hour about kracking
matters and also Vegas matters. Also, I do also want to uh.
I also want to dive into whatI thought was the line of the night
last night for the kracking, Andwe'll get into the crack and stuff in
(11:46):
just a bit, because they lostthat and that was a gup punch last
night to to one to the WashingtonCapitals. But it was also on the
night of Jordan every being saluted forhis one thousandth NHL game. And you
get that far, You're doing tonof things right in any sport, but
especially in the NHL, where itis so hard to hang on for two
hundred, three hundred, four hundred, five hundred games. You've got to
(12:07):
be a great elite player to getto a thousand. One of Jordan Emberley's
favorite things is music. He's verygood on the guitar acoustic wise. I'd
love to get him here in studiohere to just you know, from a
few tunes out. But his favoriteband is Nickelback. He's a Nickelback.
Guys they played He's not my Vegaslist. They they they they they played
(12:33):
Nickelback last night. It was youknow, they usually have the you know,
the electronic music, dance music remixesfor you know, the players warm
up tunes usually now, but insalute of Everly last night, they played
all Nickelback. It picture thing isthat that's one of their st this photograph.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that'sthe one I was thinking of.
(12:54):
I don't I just like it's usones that would just come on the radio
when you were a kid and youwould just hear it, and you're like,
but if that's his music? Highschool graduation photo. Look at this
photograph every time? It makes melaugh. How much do you hate Nicolebacker?
Love them? You know what?Okay? All right, all right,
(13:16):
I'm gonna throwing myself out there.I go back as underrated. I
don't mind them. Do a lotof their songs sound the same? Yes,
I think so, But I don'tmind them. They're not bad.
Okay, They're not bad. Yeah, please roast him. But I will
tell you a story though about theguy we're filling in for, Jim Moore,
(13:37):
a band that I had no ideaabout skill it so I used to
do this thing. I love Skillet. Also, okay, they're pretty good.
It's kind of like Eminescence. AndI didn't know they were Christian rock.
I mean, that doesn't matter becauseyou don't hear it in the music.
It's just powerful, fun music.It's not my exact thing that I
like. Also, they're they're they'rein the assum they were. I used
(14:00):
to have pod on my iPods workingout like back of the Day game in
my twenty yeah, yeah, whenI was lifting in college anyway, So
I found out that Skillet was Jim'sfavorite bands. And when I was producing
a show that I used to workon, I would surprise my hosts with
their heroes and just like randomly andjust they would never know that they were
(14:24):
coming on. So I just neededto know their hero list, and Skillett
for some reason was Jim. SoI contacted the band through everyone and went
through very several layers of contacts tofinally reach them and got I told my
other hosts at the time because itwas a three person show that we were
(14:45):
interviewing this NFL network guy, becauseI knew that they would spill the beans
to Jim, and I got thelead singer of Skillet, and he was
doing the Pew of Fair at thetime too, so it was fortuitous and
it was a good promotion for them. So they did it, and I
told the other hosts, but Ilet them know beforehand. I'm like the
lead singer of Skillet, He's comingin Sex degree is a separation. Also,
(15:09):
Amy, my wife, one ofthe gals in our wedding. One
of her bridesmaids brother the drummer ofSkillet. That's amazing. So anyway,
I surprised Jim the other two hosts, who I told right before the interview
that we're interviewing an NFL network guy. I told him. I was like,
hey, it's actually the lead skillIt's skill It. It's skill It.
(15:31):
They forgot, They're like, whois this NFL network. I'm like,
I told you, this is asurprise for Jim. Anyway, the
guy couldn't have been nicer the leadsinger, and then he offered him and
his entire family tickets. He gotto go backstage meet the band and everything.
So I just wanted to talk about, you know, a band that
I don't necessarily listen to. Isee Jim as a skillet guy, but
(15:54):
that's fascinating. Oh I have videosof him jumping. They're awesome. They're
awesome. They are so good.It always got their rock outside, you
know him's rockets. Oh yeah,Jim, Jim definitely has his things.
So I can't wait to talk moreabout this with fits. So al Koniski
are our dear Color analyst on theCrack and Audio Network side. Last night,
(16:17):
was commenting on the whole Nickelback thing. I wish we had the audio
right now, it's up there.It's in the archives there. It was
going to take a while to diginto. I think it happened back in
period one or period two. Butwe were talking about the whole Nickelback thing,
the phenomenon and being Jordan Everley's favoriteband. And they even had a
tribute video from the entire band ofNickelback up on the video board last night
(16:38):
saying Jordan Everley, congratulations one thousandgames. And the band participated. Yes,
they were up on the board sayingJordan Everley, congrats in one thousand
games. And then Everett, outof commercial break gets into Nickelback, and
you know, it's a mini conversationbefore play gets back going, and Everett
said something of you know, Ilike nickel Back, I don't I think
(17:00):
they get a little bit too muchhate, especially south of the border down
here, and Al Koniski are ourresident friend from British Columbia goes Canada's Metallica.
I bout fell out of my chairand laughing. He called a right,
Nickelback is Canada's Metallica. Those theexact words from al Kanisky. You
(17:23):
agree four nine four five one isnickel Back Canada's Metallica four nine four five
one. Let's open the flood gateshere. You guys have avails. Also
you have aver Levine. Okay,rush, just rush, also rush,
right, you have Rush? Okay, all right, you got some standing
around there, But that is kindof correct. I would agree with al
(17:47):
on that one. But that istheir Metallica, all right. I'm opening
up the floodgates here for voicemail.I like it is Nickelback Canada's Metallica.
Okay, I like it. Oh, I like this one. If Essin
Ashley had their own show, theamount of poop jokes would be astronomical.
That is a correct because there's nopoop that isn't a good poop. And
(18:12):
I will stand up that knocking themic around Starry about that. I think
they'll get over it. Everyone's allgood for a poop joke, right,
I mean, poop jokes are great. You got one, you got one.
I'm off of five hours asleep.There's no way I got poop jokes
in my head right now. Okay, I don't know. I feel like
that's my last thing that I fallon. I'm a mirror innocent bystander Okay,
(18:33):
I have all these vitamins that youcan dig. I brought in raw
honey for Chuck's voice. I'm justtelling you if you need it. We
got break coming up here. Ohyeah, we got we got some time.
We got some time to kill you. We would have been bringing up
Vgan burgers. Mike Vegan, youmean people who try to tell me that
woo sorry, we got a lovethat reaction. Okay, I didn't read
(19:00):
that one jobs they all read meat. There's a huge difference between a hamburg
that's covered with a sugary sauce thatyou eat with fries and drink, versus
a grassbed bison or elk red.Meat in itself isn't bad at all.
It's what you eat it with.And I agree with you two six.
I agree. I just also feellike cutting that out of For me,
(19:25):
cutting that out of my diet,I don't have the add ons because I
don't eat it, you know,the bacon, the cheese, the fries
and all that. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not gonna like sit down and
eat a veggie burger with a sideof fries and fake bacon and think that
that's healthy. You have to havea cheat meal, though, everyone's got
a cheat meal. I ask allthe time, and they have cheap meals.
(19:45):
But it's like once a day.And here's my difference. Usually or
it's it's once a week. Inmy difference here, it's like once a
day or maybe like once an hour. Wait, what is what is their
cheat meal? Oh? Like they'llthey'll do the burgers, fries, heats.
Oh, but they're working out.Someone even someone even said you know
what I'm going with, Like Ithink it may have been Brandon TANNEV who
(20:06):
said, I'm getting the triple scoopof ice cream. Everything on there,
everything, Yep, the spring.This is not the this is good.
Meet the crack and stuff that Icollect every training camp on media day and
it's up there by the way plugon the iHeartRadio app audio. I would
like to hear that regularly. Ifsomeone reminded us this is a sports station,
but guess what we're talking about sports? This is lifestyle stuff here.
(20:30):

I absolutely love it. This issuper fun and people are weighing in a
lot on the Canadian exports of music. I want to remind you again introducing

Chriska just turned the light, Sally, I know it's getting serious.
Now, it's getting serious. Hejust hasn't moved in a while. And
(21:37):
I think their motions is a deepstate of concentration. I know, okay,
Well, I just want to hearabout Vegas. I want to hear
about food. I want to hearabout everything, and also maybe what you
think this team looks like a SamHowell as the backup quarterback. I can't
wait voicemails next, And so everyonce in a while since his dearly departed.
(22:00):
He uh shows up all of asudden. I don't use cash,
ever, I don't know do youuse cash? When is the last time?
I can't remember it last time Iused. Let's try it again,
ready, Okay, let's go three. Two. Hey, guys, this
does bring back memories from when Iused to play softball. So we were
at one of the hotel pools andmy buddy was standing on the diving board
(22:23):
and I said, hey, doesyour probation officer know you're in a pool
with kids? Yeah, I needlessto say. We had the pool to
ourselves that day. That's oh myno, that's amazing. How to get
the pool to yourself? Oh goodness? Did he say his name? I
(22:48):
want to go to Vegas with thatguy? Did he clear out one of
the big pools where you have likethat? That? That that the whole
like eighteen cabanas set up like around of the KJR time listeners, longtime
friends. Jesse Sleeves, Oh Jesse. But I met him on a river
raft actually, and he was duringCOVID, so we all had masks on.
(23:10):
He recognized my voice and he wasJesse without sleeves at that point.
So he's matured to with sleeves.Now all right. Second voicemail, Hey,
Mike, I know you asked forcharacters to leave you voicemails, but
in case you get one from JohnStanton about his Vegas trip, that's not
aim. No way that guy spendingmoney in Vegas. I don't know.
(23:33):
Maybe he got like a group onor something. Always enjoy when you're in
Mike. Good job, man,Thanks, appreciate the compliments. You are
doing a really good job. There'sa group on app downloaded, yet you
can probably find a you know,discount somewhere at the holiday inn. I
(23:55):
don't think I would like to stripin Vegas, aren't we technically that?
I think? I think I thinkthat that that that one Randall holiday Inn
where you're going on the group onapp might be closer to the one scene
and hangover where they're trying to exchangethe money and Doug pops out of the
car, but it's the wrong Dougthough. Oh yeah, they're like halfway
(24:17):
to the California border at that point. I remember that whole I just watched
the third one the other day andit was so funny that it might be
that if there was one movie inmy house. That might be the one
go to for Amy and I overand over and over see I go like
the Chris Barley era. I'm TommyBoy, and we'll do all three of
(24:38):
them hangover one, two, andthree. That's good, that's good.
Yeah, you need your own.Yeah, the hangover is too much for
me. It just reminded me toomuch of my own expl I might have
been the person lost at three.Dude, not send me to Vegas on
a bachelor ratt and have it beSaint Patrick's Day and March Bandits at the
(25:03):
same time, Like I'm sorry,Like you're just triple have me be a
good drinker. It was just okay, I got lost for a little while.
Number three a kid. I alsodo not partake in the Devil's juice.
But has anybody introduced you to thedevil lettuces? Bro, you don't
(25:26):
do okay, never smoked, neverdrank, although smoking looks way cooler than
drinking. If I had as Iwould agree with that it does look cooler.
You're right, I'm gonna introduce youto something else, Devil's lettuce,
maybe the Devil's fun guy. It'sa fun guy. No, he's never
(25:48):
gonna do It's fine, good morning. Where the hell our pucking gym at?
I tuned to listen to fucking Jimand I hear you again? Why
I have no idea who who thatis directed to? It's me because I
(26:11):
was on yesterday and you weren't.So I am so sorry that you have
to hear us. But you knowwhat, Puck and Jim are on amazing
vacations right now, and you shouldbe. I can't wait. I can't
wait to hear the documentation of thissaid vacation. Oh yeah, well they're
on separate vacations, so I don'tknow. And they and they all deserve
(26:32):
their downtime. They deserve their privatetime. I mean, I'm the first
to admit I have not check Puck'sTwitter account or even gyms and Gym's was
appointment viewing during the whole Huskies runto the National championship game. It was,
But I'm not check. You knowwhat, colleagues, you just let
them be. You let them be. Yeah, exactly, let's go yes
(26:56):
four. Hey guys, Sorry aboutthat stupid, stupid pass I tried to
make last night. It just didn'twork out in my favor. It is
basically an own goal. It's stupiddecision. And I mean Gruby was pissed
off at me yesterday. He didn'tsay anything to me. He just flipped
(27:18):
on Romstein to host Mesh and wasslamming Doss boots full of shot and optimator.
That's it. Sorry, you getthirty seconds, well thoughts inside your
head. Sorry, you get thirtyseconds and written what was that beeping?
Son? By the way, muchfor you? Ps. I believe I
(27:38):
was thinking he was backing up abig truck. Yeah he I think maybe
Amazon, but I know he's atwork when he That is multitasking. I
thank you, it's very good.Oh yeah, ups Aaron, Oh oh
we have an actual name for that, Hi Aeron, thank you. Uh.
But yeah, that is uh alot of tasking. But that's all
(28:03):
you. I'm sorry. That ishockey right there. Poor Joey. Joey
had a little booboo last night inthe second period. And he's so good
at playing the puck too, likehe's like a third defenseman back there.
And I don't want to get intotoo much inside the game because this is
a fun and games you know,laugh all you want segment here, No,
but you should talk about it becauseit's your expertise, and we're going
(28:26):
to talk more with Fits about thisever it fits you at twelve o'clock.
But there's gonna be mistakes made.Sometimes it doesn't matter if you're Joey to
Cord, Matt's been here, svincedn But last night to Cord tried to
play the puck in, put abig old oopsie into the wrong guy,
tj Oshi, five feet away fromhis own nets, and tj Oshi had
(28:47):
a big gaping hole to deposit thepuck in for a one nothing lead.
Yep, that was called just somany euphemisms called, she said, and
that's what this show does. SoI'm gonna steer clear of all of them.
But and me five down now orfour down, I've lost next one.
I would like to know what thehell is wrong with the Kraken period.
(29:15):
I know last year was kind ofanomaly for a second year franchise,
but this year has been semi frustratingto watch. Scoring right now, trouble
scoring now. They they scored fourgoals on Vegas, but can you do
(29:38):
it over and over and over andover? Consistency is a big issue right
now, especially right now. AndI had Curtis Crabtree onto the postgame show
last night. I love me someCurtis. I love Curtis here and he
doesn't. He does an incredible jobnow on the TV side with our Fox
friends comes right, I back ishappy to share his thoughts for about twenty
(30:02):
five minutes. But anyway we can. I think the point was this,
we can talk about the oopsis thatJoey Dcord had last night. Andre Berakowski
also who coughed the puck up forthe breakaway goal that Washington wont it on
Conor McMichael. But the ultimate issuehere is how many games can you play
(30:25):
where you have to be afraid ofmaking a mistake, where one mistake,
maybe two, but one mistake cancost you the game all that because you're
not scoring enough. They had justone goal last night, yep, and
one goal time after time after timeafter time. But they're not dead yet.
(30:45):
They went about twenty minutes without ashot on gold nearly last night.
That's exhausting that that was a concerningpart for me. Now, as we
said, hey, the Yogi berratonce said over and over till it's over.
But we're closer and closer. Nowit's to playoff elimination that we are
here to a playoff. Sp it'sgetting closet all right. Next one Geno
(31:07):
from dis New QB teen Wolf theRopes. He's good for a good game
on full moons Aaron Donald. Oh, we're drinking triples and old Gino's loves
Vegas story. Oh, Joe NeiMaonce came and took me to Vegas.
(31:30):
I woke up in a Giant's uniform. Has a perfect come out. He
needed thirty seconds there. Just sendanother one. We'll get to it.
Promise we'll find a way maybe ais that a way to cap it off?
There? I think we're all superlate. Yeah, we're gonna come
(31:52):
back and talk about something. Ithink Twitter the day next kid, I
got to hand it to you.It sounds like something that's the mix of
(32:14):
maybe the last thing I heard inthe club plus the opening of the Titanic.
Oh you haven't heard nothing yet.You have you got an hour to
go here, very odd remix inyour head. Man, When I said
experiment, you're you're experimenting here?You know, throw the trap? There
comes a trap? You know?Windows down system up once again once once
(32:38):
I leave the studio today, Pleasesend it on MP three to me,
it's going to go right to myiPhone and write out out of my speakers.

(34:08):
I was verified on Twitter. It'shard to get verified on Instagram.
And no, I'm just like,I don't want to be verified on anything.
After you on took over and thatall went away, I was like,
nop, I'm good. We haveone friend who's verified on Instagram coming
up. That's ever it fits youwhat he has to be. I mean,
he's the face, he's the voiceof a teams, was verified a
(34:30):
long time ago to I mean,all right. Tweet of the day.
Found this from Barstool Sports, andI try not to try to follow barstool
too much here, but this wastoo good to ignore. Ryan Whitney,
who used to be an NHL defensemannow he's a part of the hockey crew
out there for Barstool, had thisunbelievable story about playing golf with Michael Jordan.
(34:53):
And you know, if you getinto anything, I don't care if
it's one on one one, ifit's golf, if it's even just shooting
pennies right toward the edge of aroom, like in last dance you get
into someone with with MJ, heis out there to eat your lunch because
it's as part of his competitive naturehe will not let it doesn't matter you're
(35:16):
earning scale either. MJ was notgoing to let anyone like fly. You
know, you bet him ten grandand you could be the person changing his
sheets in a hotel. So anyway, so ten thousand dollars were at steak
here for thirty six holes of golf, and it's Ryan Whitney out there with
a lot of Michael Jordan's buddies,MJ himself, and you know, you
(35:40):
think about it's an awesome experience toplay with golf of Michael Jordan. But
maybe you play golf with him,how nervous are you gonna be? Well,
MJ is not saying a word aword to him for the first rough
nace thirty four holes. But ifI read this correctly, here it gets
out that Ryan Whitney was saying hewas a scratch golfer. And on the
(36:05):
thirty fifth hole the second round througheighteen holes, he's in the seventeenth hole
with the yeah, he blows aten foot putt and at this point MJ
finally pipes up and says something thatI can't say on the air here,
but just you know, chirp sometrash talks as usual. And then and
(36:27):
then after this, he heard thatRyan Whitney talking about being a scratch golfer
and he says, you couldn't scratchmy wife's rearand that's it? Like,
are you kidding me? That is? I feel like he's self owning there?
Are you kidding me? Okay?Got he got absolutely bagged though by
(36:50):
by by MJ saying that you're noteven close to being a scratch golfer.
You couldn't even scratch my wife's rear. End it's a good burn. That's
a a burn because to get tothat like, that's a burn that makes
you think and I don't like tothink. Are there rules up to what
you can and can't say around them? Jay? Because he can chirp you,
(37:13):
but can you chirp him back?Though? I think you can.
But he's gonna you have to goin knowing he's gonna own you in some
way, because I'm sorry, he'sgoing to go on anything. I don't
care if it is competitive eating.He's going to going to Hey, Kobe
Yashi or whoever that guy Joey isand Coney Island, You're done. Yeah,
(37:36):
so yeah. I feel like there'sa lot of euphemisms that would come
out of that kind of competition,and I would like it. But I
binged the last dance during the end. I watched it back to back to
back to back to back to backto back, and I was like,
no, I've never seen it.They called the head of security and to
play a quick game of pennies inthere and had a security feme. He
(37:58):
was like, just get out ofhere and go go running at a center.
I cannot handle against the magic exactly. And I just I love that
competitive nature and I but it's agift and it's also a detriment to some
people. And I think that thelast dance showed the beauty of both.
That's great, speaking of beauty asever fits you. Right around the corner
(38:21):
here for the crack and we'll talkto him next
