Chapter 2: What is Nick Saban's connection to the NHL?

288.201 - 307.827 David Dwork

The plane surfers, they're laying things down. The decking. Yeah, the decking. We learned some words. A little carpet underwoods. Yes. Yeah. Bill Zito talked to the media. So did Derek King and Andrew Higgins. Derek King is the VP of hockey operations for the league and Higgins is DC manager for facility operations. So, you know, they know what's going on. Yes.

308.128 - 315.158 Unknown

These guys are like the winter classic gurus. They know everything. All the ins and outs, the ice. It's pretty cool listening to them and hearing some of the knowledge that they had.

0

315.138 - 339.1 David Dwork

And before I go to you on the information that you know that is going to happen for the Winter Classic because they're making some things that are usually different from the actual regular season games at NHL rinks, apparently the NHL has decided to go with a former white boy rapper, now singer, role model. That's the name of the guy. The name of the guy's stage name is Role Model.

0

339.441 - 343.907 David Dwork

His actual name, by the way, is Tucker Harrington Pillsbury. He's from Cape Elizabeth, Maine.

0

344.027 - 345.789 Unknown

His real last name is Pillsbury?

345.889 - 351.217 David Dwork

Yes. He's from Cape Elizabeth, Maine. That, my friend, screams Miami.

351.237 - 357.465 Unknown

Him and I need to connect somehow of people with odd last names, but that's an interesting one. I've never heard somebody with the last name Pillsbury.

357.565 - 368.456 David Dwork

He's also gone by the stage name Dillis. Tucker. And Doughboy. No, and St. Laurent Cowboy. St. Laurent Cowboy.

368.476 - 384.711 Unknown

All right, resident young person, do you know who role model is? Never heard of him in my life. This makes me think of the All-Star game that we covered in Toronto where I didn't really know who Tate McRae was when we were going up. Yeah, but you should know who Tate McRae is. By the time we left All-Star Weekend, I was well aware who Tate McRae was.

Chapter 3: What insights are shared about the Winter Classic preparations?

733.381 - 749.803 Ethan

Okay, hey. How you guys doing? So that Kirill Kaprizov guy up in Minnesota, he's pretty good. And now he's paired with another guy that's pretty good, Quinn Hughes, which, hey, that trade happened. That was pretty big news. So he's only going to get better with Quinn Hughes, and he has only been getting better.

749.843 - 774.939 Ethan

The Wild have outscored opponents 16-4 in the three games they've played with Quinn Hughes. They are, of course, 3-0. They are red hot, 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. My stat of the day comes from at DylanLaux4 on Twitter. Since entering the NHL in 2020-21, Kirill Kaprizov and Alex Ovechkin were tied for the most goals by a Russian skater in the NHL. Kaprizov has now broken that tie.

0

775.299 - 781.448 Ethan

He has 207 goals. He scored again last night in 354 games since entering the NHL.

0

781.428 - 785.075 Unknown

So you're saying Kaprizov is going to break Ovechkin's record someday? Is that what you're saying?

0

785.135 - 801.327 Ethan

I'm not necessarily saying that, David. What I am saying is that earlier, either this year or sometime this calendar year, it could have been this season, it could have been last season, we were talking about Kaprizov, and I called him the greatest player in wild history, and you kind of scoffed at me, David, and I haven't forgotten about that. Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.

801.307 - 818.556 Ethan

He is the greatest player in wild history. I think he just recently got to second on their all-time goal scoring list. And of course, he's there for eight more years at $17 million. So he's going to get to number one eventually. Great player and only going to be better with Quinn Hughes. I can't wait to watch. Keep watching that pairing. They are electric.

818.536 - 828.962 David Dwork

All right, it's time for wins and fails of the week. It's presented by JƤgermeister. Serve it cold or don't serve it at all. JƤgermeister. Damn, that's cold. For more, visit JƤgermeister.com. Drink responsibly. What is your win, David?

829.242 - 836.46 Unknown

My win is a goalie win, but I think we can all appreciate it. Yes, thank you. We're going to go to Coral Springs, the former.

836.44 - 857.556 Unknown

Florida Panthers practice facility and that's where a tournament was going on last week and the sons of two hall of fame goaltenders Roberto Luongo's son and Martin Brodeur's son were going against each other in goal and their dads were in the stand well Roberto's actually I think he's an assistant coach on the travel team the junior Panthers and then Martin Brodeur was there with his son the Afton Americans the St.

Chapter 4: What is the significance of Leon Draisaitl's 1,000th point?

2750.235 - 2770.221 Roy Bellamy

And high school never ends. The best thing we have the past week, we've had several comedy clubs here in Hollywood have Christmas parties. And what comics do when we all get together is we all just talk S about other comics. And it's pretty wonderful. People have very strong opinions.

2770.662 - 2783.734 Roy Bellamy

And then I'm fully aware that as soon as I leave, then they all turn around and be like, ah, he only has midget jokes. So, you know, like, I'm fully aware that that's the chirping going on with me. But yes, the...

2783.866 - 2807.724 Roy Bellamy

when people ask me like hey what's the best part about being on the road um i say the best part about being on the road is when a show is done me and my opening acts go to a waffle house and we just talk s for another two three hours nice and that is yeah oh uh chunked nice i like chunked yeah yeah real cheese action i like waffle house Darn right.

0

2807.744 - 2828.05 Roy Bellamy

Yeah, and then do you ever have that guy who – do you guys have Waffle Houses in Florida? We do. Yeah, we do, of course. All right. So do you ever have the guy sit down with you at the Waffle House? Maybe he hasn't been to Waffle House in a long time. And he orders like a burger from the lunch menu. And everyone just looks at him like, are you insane? What are you doing? What are you doing?

0

2828.09 - 2839.167 Roy Bellamy

This is a freaking Waffle House. You get the all-star special. You get the grits you way you want them. You might get some hash browns. That's it. And you get a chair in your face.

2839.287 - 2841.53 Ethan

You get a chair thrown in your face.

2841.59 - 2846.941 Roy Bellamy

I will get a grilled cheese occasionally at the Waffle House. See, no one likes you. No one likes you.

2847.062 - 2852.188 Ethan

Why is there always a chair being launched in every video I see from Waffle House?

2852.308 - 2865.685 Roy Bellamy

Because that is why you go to a Waffle House. Because you're going to have, you have a level of food. It's never going to go up, but it's also never going to go below. And it's just a solid, you know.
