61.692 - 80.793 Unknown

Well, just recovering from yesterday, not having an NBA final or NHL final game to watch. So that was a little difficult. I managed to get through, but haven't they been fabulous? And I know you were talking about it earlier, but it's just, you know, I can't remember, you know, the duo being this good in recent memory anyway.

0

105.135 - 117.098 Unknown

Yeah. Yeah. So it's, it's exactly. And it's funny because we went golfing yesterday and we saw a bear in our neighborhood and And I guess he decided to pay me a visit last night.

0

117.499 - 137.547 Unknown

And, uh, it's just, you know, they opened the doors to the, you know, and I leave the door unlocked cause I don't want them smashing the window or anything like that, but it's, I just rifled through, I don't know what was in there, what he smelled. I'm not really sure, but, Wait, in your car? In the car, yeah. Wow. Yeah, no, he hasn't opened the door to the home yet.

Chapter 4: Which players impressed at the NHL Draft Combine?

140.489 - 148.697 Unknown

I'm sure that's coming one day, but it's a pretty common occurrence around here, relative to other parts of Vancouver.

0

148.717 - 153.061 Satyr Shah

Have you ever had an up-close-and-personal encounter with a bear yourself before?

0

153.121 - 154.602 Don Taylor

Yes, the Tri-Cities, he definitely has.

0

155.223 - 175.651 Unknown

Yeah, well, yes, I have. But it was a lucky situation where... I was, I had my car parked and the bear came right up, right up to the passenger sniffing around like right there. Like I could, if the window was down, he would have crawled in. I could have touched her or him very easily. And I believe this is the scariest part.

0

175.671 - 188.342 Unknown

And you guys know that being from Canada, being from Vancouver, that there was a little person, a little guy with, with the bear alone, probably a mom. So, you know, you know, that's a, you know, from what I know, the most, uh,

188.558 - 208.457 Unknown

frightening situation so but that that was as close as uh as i've come but we've you know if you've lived around here and i think most parts of vancouver it's uh you know bare settings or you know you're you're used to them but you never get tired of them i just you just can't believe what you're seeing they're just so bloody beautiful you you know i know you have to stay away and all that but

208.69 - 212.796 Unknown

man, it's never, never dull. It just takes your breath away.

213.076 - 215.319 Don Taylor

We had family over from the UK a couple of years ago.

Chapter 5: What can we expect from the Canucks at the third overall pick?

215.98 - 224.112 Don Taylor

Perfect. Yeah, there was bears in the neighborhood, and all the Facebook message groups were like, hey, careful, and our family just wanted to go outside to try to take pictures.

0

224.152 - 225.454 Satyr Shah

Let's go look at these bears.

0

225.714 - 229.119 Don Taylor

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's go take some food to them.

0

229.219 - 231.442 Satyr Shah

Yeah, definitely don't do that. Definitely don't do that.

0

231.462 - 236.13 Don Taylor

Well, what's the old phrase? If it's brown, lay down. If it's black... Is it fight back or something like that?

236.151 - 237.653 Satyr Shah

Yeah. And if it's white, say goodnight.

237.673 - 238.575 Don Taylor

Yeah.

238.595 - 239.316 Unknown

Yeah.

Chapter 6: How does drafting Caleb Malhotra impact the Canucks?

239.336 - 251.397 Unknown

Yeah. There's a joke there. We won't go there. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's right. I don't know. I just, I'm from the school of running.

252.92 - 264.723 Satyr Shah

I hear you. There was like my favorite story from Kukolom was I think there was like a teenage girl once that like kicked the bear in the in the snout and ran off. And it was like, yeah, I don't know what to do. Just kick them. And he ran off. Yeah.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the NHL Combine results for players?

265.024 - 288.495 Unknown

Yeah. Well, the other thing, too, is like our neighborhood also, you know, you get but everybody we just lost our dog. And yeah, it's awful. After 14 years, it's tough. But yeah. Man, the amount of animals we have around our house now, like we get squirrels and ravens and crows and just everything, deer, bear. And like the last 14 years, very rarely in our yard.

0

288.728 - 302.997 Unknown

But they don't want to deal with the dogs because the dogs are so brave. They just go after them. Dogs usually mean humans. I think the bears know that. The deer know that. But yeah, there's been an uptick in the amount of animal visits we've had this year.

0

303.117 - 305.522 Satyr Shah

What is it with the small dogs always chasing the bears?

0

305.975 - 308.6 Unknown

Yeah, I don't know, but maybe they just haven't heard.

0

Chapter 8: What are the final thoughts on the Stanley Cup and upcoming games?

308.7 - 327.863 Unknown

They lose that battle. Once a year, you always hear, you know, look at little Tuffy going after the bear. Yeah. And I just think it's the bears just don't want to deal with it. No, I can't. I'm not going to get food here. It's not going to happen. The dog's barking. There's probably going to be a human coming. I'm out.

0

328.024 - 328.585 Satyr Shah

Yeah, I'm out.

0

329.927 - 331.249 Unknown

I don't think they're scared.

0

331.85 - 338.883 Satyr Shah

Yeah, I hear you. But, Donnie, you mentioned the Stanley Cup final. We'll get to some Canuck stuff here in a second.

0

338.903 - 342.529 Unknown

I was just going to say, Sat, this would be a really tough transition to hockey.

342.509 - 343.771 Satyr Shah

I was like, you know what?

343.791 - 344.972 Unknown

You know who fights out of the corners?

345.032 - 346.074 Don Taylor

Conor Garland.

346.114 - 364.199 Satyr Shah

He's a small dog. Yeah, I was like, you know what? Instead of trying to do some cheesy segue, and listen, I am not above doing cheesy segues. I figured let's just cut to the chase and get to the next thing. But how enthralled have you been by the Stanley Cup final? I mean, it just seems like two Goliaths going head-to-head in every single game.
