Alright, here we go. Overdrive off and running. TSN 1050 on the TSN app. Your home smart speaker up on YouTube Live. Brian Hazio, Doug Jeff O'Neill, Jamie Noodles, McLennan.
What's going on?
How are we feeling this afternoon?
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.
What insights does O-Dog share about calling versus texting?
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?
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.
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.
Yes, now Rushmore broadcaster.
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.
I appreciate that greatly.
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.
How does the Maple Leafs' game against the Sabres impact their season?
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.
I thought there was a finger involved or something.
Basically might as well toss that emoji.
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. 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. Honestly, Hedge, probably nothing. And in reality... Pretty much nothing. It really didn't have to be a call.
What are you talking about? I thought that's call worthy where you say, hey, that was kind of... Could have been a text.
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?
Just do what he does. He just goes, all right, buds, later.
Yes, you do that, but no, no. You know what? You're Gen X or Gen Z. No, I'm Hedge X. That's what I am. I'm Hedge X because I know where Hedge is coming from. You call one of us, you can do the I'm out quick. Yes. And we don't care.
What trade options are available for the Maple Leafs?
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.
Listen to yourself. What's a calling relationship?
Unfortunately, you have to be polite.
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.
I don't think I've ever had a phone call.
I never have.
I've texted with Hedge many times.
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.
No, a text is more than fine. And it's respectful. You just shoot a text and you go, hey.
