It's always my favorite thing every year. It's like a... i don't know it's like a high school reunion i get to see all these comics i never get to work with now because i live in la and then i also get to see young up-and-coming comedians that were influenced by uh patrice's body of work so there you go that's that oh here's something i forgot to bring up on the monday morning podcast um
You know, my whole life, they've always wondered why hockey wasn't popular. How come it was always a distant fourth? You know, I can't see the puck. It doesn't translate on TV. I love they fucking saying that, but they got women's lacrosse with that cameraman. How about you zoom in once every fucking while? My eyes are fucking too old to watch that sport. But anyway...
The thing about it is, it's not only is it like more of a rogue sport, they've made just one fucking bonehead move after another. And even when they go to do something great, it doesn't make any sense. Like I remember back in the day, they were on ESPN, which was great for the league in the 80s. And then the USA Network came along and offered them like a hundred bucks more.
And they said, fuck ESPN. And they went to USA. They've always been doing shit like that. Right. The brawling got out of control in the 70s. They always been doing stuff to shoot themselves in the foot. They fucking took teams out of Canada and brought them down to like fucking Florida and Phoenix and all this dumb shit. And then they start getting going. They start doing smart.
Nashville, who knew? Boom, huge city. Vegas, boom, huge city. Seattle, who knew, right? All of a sudden, okay, they got some momentum. They got some momentum. And then they got this fucking world championship. Can somebody explain to me how Canada is the champion? It doesn't make any sense. Why do they do everything so fucked up in hockey? Write down they don't have quarters. They have periods.
