Chapter 1: What was the reaction to Dave Hyde's layoff from the Sun Sentinel?
Zaz, what was your reaction to seeing Dave Hyde say that he had been laid off by the Sun Sentinel?
I guess not surprised, but didn't like it. I think Dave Hyde's fantastic. He had been really good to me over the years, and yeah, I guess it's disappointing, but not surprising, right?
Yeah.
Am I led to think that Greg Cody's secretly happy about David being laid off?
I reject the implication of my inner voice. And I was surprised, if we're being honest. Yeah, I was. Would not have been surprised had he just said, I'm retiring. Very surprised that the Sun Sentinel had the audacity to lay him off. That, to me, was surprising.
Is it true, Greg, there's a rumor going around? I don't know all the context. But there's a rumor going around that when someone arrived here this morning, they saw you in this room by yourself on the phone, and you said, we won.

Chapter 2: How does Greg Cody feel about his rivalry with Dave Hyde?
I cannot confirm that. We did. I cannot confirm that at all. I have nothing to do with that. Oh, we had plenty to do with it. What's going on here? The last cowboy standing. All right. Yeah, I am the last cowboy standing. Although I'm sitting right now. Cuddled up next to our wife. I should be on a horse. Gave her a nice spoon from the back. Said, honey, we won. All right.
Chapter 3: What does Dave Hyde reflect on regarding his career and the state of journalism?
Inner voice, you're fired. I want a new inner voice. What am I, Dave Hyde? Oh, God. What a great day. All right. This is going off the rails. I have nothing but respect for Dave. Thank you, Sun Sentinel, for having the courage. Courage? Yes. The courage to do the right thing.
Honestly, it should have been done years ago. We could have called this race long ago. I'm the man.
Chapter 4: What are the implications of layoffs in the journalism industry?
Did what needed to be done.
Okay. Hey, that's what I'm talking about.
The hockey man. The Panthers not being in this, it hurts to watch what is happening in the hockey as it elevates to another level. And I just can't imagine what it's like to be in Canada and watch Tampa and Florida, now Vegas, overrun the sport.
Somebody call for a hockey man!
How are you feeling about Jordan Stahl today?
I hate his ass! This is totally unfair to the Florida Panthers' legacy. In retrospect, we'll look back on this and say that we're on borrowed time, dude.
Will we? Because what we're watching... I hope so.
God, I hope so. This sucks.

Chapter 5: How does the panel react to the erosion of traditional journalism?
What we're watching, and when I say what we're watching, the ratings are pretty spectacular.
It's on network television.
That was awfully close to the mic.
It's not an apples to apples comparison. The last one was on TNT. Everyone wants to mention the ratings. It's, you know, it's just more bullshit propaganda.
There was some heartwarming video. I think I can make people love Carolina by just showing the human connection between a goalie and his parents. I believe that I can make you love Carolina with a little bit of sweetness. Would you like a little sweetness with your hockey?
Yeah.
Yeah, I like that kind of stuff. Can you guys get for me the video? We will get to Greg Cody here in a second, and we will get to all the Knicks stuff.

Chapter 6: What memories does Dave Hyde share about his experiences in sports journalism?
But here is your winning keeper last night. The series is tied 2-2. You're with me, right, on this, Zaz? Canada has to be suffering deeply to watch just Tampa. Tampa wins the championship. Florida wins the championship. And now playing for the championship is Vegas and Carolina.
And all of it's offensive if you like invented hockey and you see it overrun by all these regions that are, you know, hockey come lately's.
You invented hockey. Be better. It's such a pain. It's such a misery. Be better. Your teams suck. They get to the finals.
Chapter 7: What does Dave Hyde say about the people he met during his career?
They lose. Like, who cares?
It's every year at this point, though. You know, it's all like, oh, my God.
No, but you say it's every year, but I'm talking about the specifics of the team. It's one thing if the New York Rangers are beating you or the Islanders are beating you. Yeah. Vegas, it's Florida, it's Tampa, it's Carolina. Canada looks down at these places and say, we go down and visit those places wearing socks and flip-flops.
We walk on the boardwalks and then we go back to our icy tundra where we invented the sport of hockey. Go ahead and give me all the ones that are smaller to you in feel that would be more offensive to hockey traditionalists than the four I'm mentioning. Tampa, Florida, Vegas, Carolina.
Yeah, like if Arizona was still a team, they're Utah now. But you're right. San Jose maybe seems silly.

Chapter 8: How does the episode conclude with reflections on Dave Hyde's legacy?
But yeah, those are the teams. The Sun Belt teams, and then you're thrown in Vegas, who's only been a team for, what, nine years.
All right, I'm going to try and sweeten this up. Here's Brandon Bussey. He's the goaltender for Carolina. And this is after he has won, and he has shown video here of his parents.
Really neat to see both your parents, Rob and Lisa, your fiance, Mary, here as well. There's some great reactions, and then, as you can imagine, in the crowd. So I just wanted to see this. What do you think? Oh, that's...
That's pretty special. So the other reason why I'm able to do what I do right now, their sacrifice means everything. And yeah, they're the best.
Just the fact that they're here watching this in person. I mean, what does that mean to you?
I mean, flying East Coast to Vegas in one day or this morning is a lot. It means a lot. I can't believe you guys just did that to me on TV.
I love it, but let's not act like flying east coast to Vegas is like we're going to Australia.
I know. That's what I was smiling at, the idea that he's so shocked that his parents would come to see him. On that first class flight. They didn't walk there. And they didn't hitchhike. I mean, come on. What are you doing here? Let's just move further away. Let's go outside.
The other thing is, I float this to, I know a couple of Canadian friends of mine, and any time you say, ah, Canada hasn't won anything since 1993, they remind you that half of the players in the league are Canadians, including the Stahl brothers. So Canadians are still winning the Stanley Cup, but just not for a team from Canada.
