0

19.612 - 20.473 Jamie McLennan

What's going on?

0

20.853 - 22.335 Bryan Hayes

How are we feeling this afternoon?

0

22.355 - 38.222 Jamie McLennan

I know in the past you've warned me that I call a little too much. Just... I'm a caller, right? Yeah. You're a big caller. Yeah. Big caller. I'll be scratching one of our coworkers off the list. Really? Yes.

Chapter 2: What insights does O-Dog share about calling versus texting?

38.582 - 50.399 Jamie McLennan

Let me guess who it is. You'll never guess. You'll never guess. James Duffy. No. No? He gets the call? No way. You got a guess? Doogie?

0

51.301 - 61.966 Bryan Hayes

I hope not. Jennifer Hedger. Wow. Hedge is getting flushed. See, I have some insight on this. You be careful. No, listen. You go ahead, though. You explain.

0

62.508 - 81.339 Jamie McLennan

I'll explain. She was on SportsCenter. And she made a rookie move, and she started a segment without her mic on. And then it came back to her, and she had the mic on. So I just wanted to call her and say, hey, great recovery there. That's very, very unlike you, one of the best in the world.

0

81.42 - 83.283 Bryan Hayes

Yes, now Rushmore broadcaster.

0

83.583 - 98.972 Jamie McLennan

So I call her to discuss this in her honka shoes. And she doesn't answer and text me saying, yo, what's up with the call? And then at the end of it, it says, somebody better have died.

99.897 - 101.359 Bryan Hayes

I appreciate that greatly.

101.8 - 109.911 Jamie McLennan

She was so pissed that I called. She goes, yo, what's up with the call? Did someone die? I'm like, who says that to somebody else? She's 2026.

Chapter 3: How does the Maple Leafs' game against the Sabres impact their season?

110.792 - 122.628 Jamie McLennan

People don't talk on the phone. They text. Yo, what's up with the call? It was like she was offended. I'm like, how gross is this? This is not the same person I've known for 15 years. I thought you were getting a William Nylander.

0

122.848 - 124.791 Unknown

I thought there was a finger involved or something.

0

124.771 - 126.576 Jamie McLennan

Basically might as well toss that emoji.

0

126.596 - 147.321 Bryan Hayes

That actually would have been less offensive. I think if she just sent you the middle finger emoji, the Willie emoji. If she sent the Willie, that actually might have been less offensive. It's funny you say that because I saw Hedge that day. She came in here and was sniffing around like, what's up with the caller? What's up with this cat? She came in with her son.

0

147.341 - 164.442 Bryan Hayes

Her son was in here doing the tour. And I said to her son, I said, why don't you leave me your number? I'll give it to, oh, he'll call you. He'll check in to see how everything's going in high school. I know you're lying. I swear she came in and she goes, yeah, oh, called me today. Is he a caller? Like, what does he want? And I go, yeah, he's a caller. He's a caller. I go, he's a caller.

164.882 - 172.454 Bryan Hayes

Honestly, Hedge, probably nothing. And in reality... Pretty much nothing. It really didn't have to be a call.

172.934 - 178.584 Jamie McLennan

What are you talking about? I thought that's call worthy where you say, hey, that was kind of... Could have been a text.

178.604 - 189.057 Bryan Hayes

Hey, great recovery on the mic. Because you don't understand the call. Once you get through the meat and potatoes of why you're calling, then it's like... How are the kids? Like, do you get into something else?

189.277 - 191.903 Unknown

Just do what he does. He just goes, all right, buds, later.

Chapter 4: What trade options are available for the Maple Leafs?

208.401 - 216.192 Bryan Hayes

It's like, all right, fine, whatever. You can't do that to someone you don't have a calling relationship with. So Hedge isn't going to just blow you off.

0

216.332 - 219.557 Jamie McLennan

Listen to yourself. What's a calling relationship?

0

219.757 - 221.36 Unknown

Unfortunately, you have to be polite.

0

221.58 - 230.223 Bryan Hayes

We've been colleagues for 15 years. I understand that. I get that. We all love Hedge. Hedge is the best. You're not on a calling basis with Hedge.

0

230.243 - 231.465 Unknown

I don't think I've ever had a phone call.

231.605 - 232.307 Bryan Hayes

I never have.

232.507 - 234.21 Unknown

I've texted with Hedge many times.

234.31 - 243.266 Jamie McLennan

Okay, I'll delete her number then. Well, that's not necessary. You're in high school now. No, I'll delete her number. I don't think that's necessary. You'll never have contact outside of this building. That's how the rules are.

243.426 - 257.386 Unknown

No, a text is more than fine. And it's respectful. You just shoot a text and you go, hey. Loved your recovery last night. I've had... Yeah, well, it was also amateur hour, too. Do you understand where I'm coming from? I 100% understand.

Chapter 5: How does the hiring of Mike McCarthy affect the Steelers?

353.868 - 354.869 Unknown

I don't like talking to people.

0

354.889 - 366.522 Bryan Hayes

He's ignorant. Hedge is running. Hedge is probably running, taking pictures of the Scarborough Bluffs. She loves taking a picture of the Scarborough Bluffs. Oh, really? That's her go-to, man, and she does a phenomenal job at that.

0

366.542 - 368.364 Jamie McLennan

Well, I'll never find out, and I don't care.

0

368.444 - 370.887 Unknown

I'm on Team Hedge because I'm telling you right now.

0

370.907 - 371.908 Bryan Hayes

I'm Hedge X.

371.888 - 375.873 Unknown

Yeah, because a lot of people I think nowadays don't call.

376.334 - 388.61 Jamie McLennan

So what kind of friendship needs to happen with a phone or without that you're allowed to call someone? It's not about being allowed. You're acting like there has to be a caller history to even place a call.

388.63 - 393.116 Unknown

I think you have to develop that relationship too. Yeah, I think so. How many times?

393.216 - 397.844 Jamie McLennan

What are you talking about? I think so. You have to develop a relationship phoning someone.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of Bill Belichick's future plans?

477.149 - 479.132 Jeff O'Neill

I never have. Not once.

0

479.635 - 483.06 Unknown

We need to call Hedge. Just a cold call, though. This is the other thing.

0

483.24 - 484.282 Bryan Hayes

Call her right now.

0

484.382 - 485.083 Unknown

Call her right now.

0

485.103 - 488.909 Bryan Hayes

You know what would be hilarious? If she answers. Call her live on the show.

489.029 - 494.558 Unknown

Call Hedge. Call Hedge. Why would she answer? I hope she does. Why the hell is TSN radio calling?

494.578 - 509.543 Bryan Hayes

But it won't even be labeled that because it's a totally random number. Oh, she flushed. If she answers this, that means she's answering duct cleaners. She's answering everyone but O. I'm okay.

509.563 - 511.326 Jamie McLennan

I don't need my ducks cleaned. Thank you very much.

511.346 - 516.637 Bryan Hayes

Thanks so much for the call. How's your family doing? Anyone else is an answer from heaven.

Chapter 7: How do the Leafs need to perform to secure a playoff spot?

593.754 - 618.013 Jennifer Hedger

So then I started thinking about it. I started going through all of the scenarios. Why would he be calling me? What is this about? Is this gossip? Did something happen to his job? What is going on? So then I think to myself, I'm just going to text him and lay the groundwork just to sort of prepare myself for what I might be up for. And I say, oh, okay. what's with the phone call? Did someone die?

0

618.794 - 626.442 Jennifer Hedger

Because it's almost the only reason why he would have called me at 11 o'clock in the morning. Nothing, right? I get nothing back.

0

626.783 - 629.846 Jamie McLennan

Guess what I did next, Hedge? I called you back.

0

629.866 - 646.398 Jennifer Hedger

He's calling me. He's cornering me. He knows the phone's in my hand and now he's taunting me to pick it up. So exactly what I do. Hey, oh, what's up? And I get nothing. And I get, hey, did you forget to put your mic on last night?

0

646.418 - 653.738 Jamie McLennan

I think that's phone call. Now that you've experienced this whole thing, Hedge, is that not phone call worthy?

654.967 - 673.703 Jennifer Hedger

Dude, I don't think it is. No, it's not even close. It's like the worst, right? As a broadcaster, it's the rookiest move. And when I see people do it on TV, I'm like, oh my God, amateur hour. Get your mic on. And then when it happens to you, you think to yourself, you know what? No one's watching. Nobody noticed that.

674.064 - 690.593 Jennifer Hedger

So when my colleague the next morning goes out of his way to call me to remind me of what an amateur move I made last night on SportsCenter, and by the way, everybody was watching, it was like, okay. And then I go, is that it?

690.573 - 691.074 Unknown

Yeah.

691.234 - 692.556 Jennifer Hedger

And O goes, yep.

Chapter 8: What are the key factors influencing the Leafs' roster decisions?

788.837 - 791.26 Jennifer Hedger

I'll call him any time and shoot the breeze.

0

791.28 - 793.243 Bryan Hayes

Check in. How's everything going?

0

793.583 - 799.29 Jennifer Hedger

It would be actually a pretty cool service for you to do. Oh, like just, you know, phone guy if you're feeling lonely.

0

799.35 - 801.693 Unknown

That would be, oh, start an app saying I'll call you.

0

801.713 - 802.474 Bryan Hayes

Start a new app.

802.454 - 804.717 Unknown

It's almost like that cameo.

804.917 - 806.159 Bryan Hayes

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

806.34 - 808.142 Jamie McLennan

The sad thing is I would do it for free.

808.222 - 810.545 Bryan Hayes

Yeah, of course you would. Just robo-calling people.
