I want Jacob to feel like he's sitting in a bar drinking.

listening to whoever it be, Brady Kachuk, tell this story.

That is what it feels like.

Yeah, and that's the point of it.

And so I do sometimes make mistakes or I'll get a fact wrong.

I tape all the interviews that I do, but somewhere, maybe somewhere lost in translation, I have something that didn't make sense.

And I'll send them to guys just to say, hey, did I get the facts all right here?

Did I screw anything up?

You know, I'll get somebody's coaches, former junior coaches, first name wrong or something like that.

So I almost do it more as a fact-checking thing than anything else.

I do, by the way, you know, there is a tendency, storytelling, no matter what the sport, no matter what the area of life, there's always a bit of fishtails to it, right?

You know, people want the story to sound greater than it was.

My dad was a legendary storyteller that I don't think half the stuff he told me was true.
