Others can try to imitate, but nobody can duplicate the great flavor of Wilhock Beef Jerky, only available in L.A., Leduc, Alberta. The headliner, Bob Stauffer, joins us this afternoon. Hello, Bob.
You guys must be struggling for a headliner today.
No, we're not. This is a great day for you to be the headliner. The only thing you're missing is we're getting a little blown away here as the wind has done a dramatic 180-degree switch here.
Well, I got a call today at 4.30. in the morning and I couldn't get back to sleep. And normally I walk at 6.30, 8.30. So I got a great walk in at six o'clock for the two hour walk today. And it was just beautiful out. And as I look out at the 59th floor and you can figure out there's only one condo complex in the city, it's at the 59th floor. Yes, exactly. It is not looking too pretty out to the west. I can tell you that right now. So, and this is weird, you know,
The wind's coming out of the east, Bob, so I never trusted east wind in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, I can tell you that. So I don't know what's going on, but it's going to be wet.
I know a lot of us in Alberta that don't trust anything that comes from the east, but I digress.
I set myself up for that one.
You know, I think back to 2016 and we were in Buffalo and, you know, the Oilers organization's at a different point. It's been at a point where they've been, you know, moving picks and draft capital to try to address and improve the team and get players in here. And you take a look at even what happened this year at the trade deadline where they gave up a second to get Connor Murphy out. And at first, for Chicago to take Andrew Maggiaponte, they'd get Jason Dickinson and Colton Dock, and they ended up getting Murphy and Dock re-signed. But when, you know, the owners were at a different juncture when we were in Buffalo in 2016. I remember at that draft, that's, you know, This was a huge day for us.
And I appreciate you guys. You know, we discussed this two months ago. I wasn't sure if I was going to go in for a couple of days in the draft, but elected not to. But the reality of the situation is Evanston's just at a completely different place.
