Who is the special guest and what is the vibe at the start of the episode?
Not only is Pomp here, but so is Tyler Kennedy, a Stanley Cup champion in our midst, and there's a Joe Starkey fat head to my left. Where did that come from? Where limits you're holding up a giant picture of my face. Do you like it? No. DK, do
you like that? How many years ago was that?
I don't know. I think I look better at now than I did then. Look at all the hair he has, TK. Looks like a bowling ball. I like the little mustache. Yeah, I like the mustache. Is that when I started here? How many years ago you think? I've aged faster than Kyle Shanahan. Did you see those pictures yesterday, Bob? Before and after. Limits, did you see those? No. Kyle Shanahan, when he took the Niners job compared to now, I think it was nine years ago, Bob. It's unbelievable. It might have been. Oh my god. Look who else
we have, Joe.
Look at that, Bob. It's a
Ron Cook fathead. Look at that expression. That's that's saying, you know what? I did my thing and now I'm gone. And I'm not gonna miss anyone.
Yes. He's done the reverse, Shanahan. He's gone from yes, a man under extreme pressure to no pressure at all.
A lot specifically. A
lot. It really does. And Ron right now is feeling none of it. His limits behind there he is. That's wrong, not limits. Okay, that's getting weird. Take it away.
It's like how many coaches and GMs get a job and their hair is dark and then they leave the job but their hair is completely white.
The the the the everyday pressure of that I mean, everybody people in different kind of jobs live it. In almost all jobs they live it. to the standard or you're gonna be gone. Yeah. Well
it's like
but but that but but nobody very few people do it that publicly, right? Well and they see you every single day. But
you don't notice it on a day to day level.
How do the hosts discuss the mental and physical pressures of coaching and playing hockey?
You don't. With hundreds of picture from many years ago and put it up where you are now. Which is right. I mean everybody ages, but in that when you have a job that that's stressful, that'll age you
quickly. And a job where literally hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people think they can do it better and criticize you on a daily basis. And they do make a lot of money. I get it. How are you, Tyler?
I'm doing good. Um Remember when my my first the president of the Penguins was Dave Moorhouse. Yeah. Yeah. And he had a very stressful job because he came in and he was kind of rebuilding the Penguins. He had like a lot of pressure because we had such a good team. How do we make this get every ounce of everything out of the Penguins? And I remember we were leaving from Colorado. We're on the jet way. And he started to have you know he had some of the he started having a heart attack.
Yeah, he's had hard attention. I remember that. And
um and it was like crazy, but I think it was all the stress and then he started to do the yoga and all that stuff 'cause he goes, Again, like you have to release it somehow. You know what I mean? When you have that pressure, it's like I don't I don't think I've ever known anyone with a really high pressure like a very high stressful job that doesn't like work out and like take care of their their mental health through like exercise or whatever. Just walking does do
a lot of good for you. If you walk for an hour, three hour three miles, four miles, whatever, it makes you feel better.
My dad walked at least a mile a day and usually two miles right up until he had the stroke in September. T till he was ninety three. He would walk a mile a day. And I think that h I mean it a lot of it's luck either way, but I think walking the let's put it this way. Most of the people I know have lived long lives, had long walks as daily as part of their regiment. One hundred
percent. Have you
ever
watched what's the Netflix show? The blue the blue regions to live? Like people who live the longest live in certain areas in the world. One was like good weather, another one was I think it was like in Italy, like in the multi coast. Yeah. Or they had to walk everywhere.
And they also take like three hours for lunch and and stress. Just go our way. We don't want you back here until you relax, have some nice food.
