What sparked the off‑the‑rails conversation with Jeff Hathhorn?
Limits, why didn't you tell me the music was back? I'm in here kibitzing
with Jeff and Bob. Well, Joe, you've been in radio 16 years. I thought you'd just hear the music.
Did
you hear that,
Jeff? That did sound like a shot. I did not. Oh, my God. That did sound like a shot. The only thing you left off was a couple of swear words in there. Wow. I'm sorry. That did sound like a
shot.
It wasn't intended as one. It
wasn't intended as one.
You know what it is? It reminds me, and take this the right way, as a skunk. Oh, boy. When you have, and I already said it. When somebody attacks you, you immediately spray back. Like, spray back. Man. He put it on you, and then you came back. I'm going to have to take a bath in tomato juice after that one, Bob. Jeez. Oh, my. I didn't mean it that way. You know what I'm saying? No, I didn't mean it that way. Did
you hear what just happened, Jeff? Did you not have your headphones
in?
No,
I didn't. I just heard something about limits being a
skunk.
Why didn't you
tell me the music was back? Because you and I and Bob were talking.
How did the hosts’ deer‑story evolve into a wild wildlife tangent?
He said, Joe, you've been in radio for 16 years. I think you'd hear it.
Wow.
Wow is right.
That didn't come off
right.
Wow is right. That's all right. It happens. You have a mechanism. It's a good mechanism to say, okay, fine. I'll come back at you then. That's okay. Better than the opposite, I say. Because
we have a great relationship. We're
like
a father and a son or a grandpa and a grandson or
maybe
an uncle and a nephew.
Perhaps. Or a friend and a friend. Is the grandfather me? Or a buck and a doe. Is a doe a baby deer? I don't think a buck and a doe would work properly. A female deer. No, I mean a buck. Am I a female deer? What? What's a child male deer? Honestly, no idea. Is it a fawn? No, that's a... Can't be a fawn, is it?
A fawn is the name of a deer. You're a hawk, Joe. It's a deer. It's just a deer. It's a young deer.
Did I ever tell you about my friend Steve Wolf, who lives in Port Allegheny, is out in the country?
Why did the panel start comparing deer to reindeer and childhood memories?
They found a deer, baby deer, who had been abandoned, Jeff. And they took it in, and it behaved like a dog. I went
in. Get the hell out of here.
Yeah, I swear to God. It interacted with the other dogs. I petted the little deer as it walked around. It drank milk or whatever they gave it. Wait, where did they keep the deer? In the house and in the yard. Get out of here. It was like an injured deer. I guess that's why the deer left it. And then they tried to get it back out in the wild. I never heard the end of the story, but it was insane. It
was
just a deer would walk up to you, Bob. A little
tiny deer. But if you treat them, they know where things are. If you have food out for them or whatever, milk, they'll show up and they'll keep coming back. And then they tell their friends. And all of a sudden you have enough reindeer to make a sleigh ride for Santa.
I told you I saw a reindeer in Nashville. Tell Bob how his grandkids, can't you? Right. And it was sad, Jeff. My wife and I were in Nashville right before Christmas, and there was a reindeer and a pen that kids could go up and see, and it didn't seem like a happy reindeer. Would you be? No. It had like two feet to walk in.
Yeah.
I didn't like it at
all. Plus, you're in Nashville. You want to go hit that strip district. What a city. Were you there for the
Stanley Cup final?
What are the key takeaways from the Nashville trip and the reindeer sighting?
I
was. Limits wasn't. He wasn't even born. I was.
Bob, were you there for that? No, I wasn't. We did the home games, but Rich was down there for us on the away games. I wish I would have. I love the
vibe. Do you remember Colleen almost got in a fight with either Rex or Rob Ryan or saw them get in a fight or something?
I remember that story, yeah. In a bar somewhere? Well,
yeah. That's all there is in Nashville is a street filled with bars and music, right?
The best is to go out in Nashville with John Burton because it's like going out with the mayor. Yeah. And you walk into every place and he's Norm. He's saying,
hey, JB. It's the Hawk Report with Jeff Hathorne brought to you by Allegiant Community Federal Credit Union. Shape your future with Allegiant Community Federal Credit Union.
