What is discussed at the start of this section?
Not only is Pomp here, but so is Tyler Kennedy, a Stanley Cup champion in our midst. And there's a Joe Starkey fathead to my left. Where did that come from? Limits, you're holding up a giant picture of my face. Do you like it? No.
TK, do you like that? How many years ago was that?
I don't know. I think I look better 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. I like the mustache. Is that when I started here? How many years ago do you think? I've aged faster than Kyle Shanahan. Did you see those pictures yesterday, Bob? Kyle Shanahan, 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 as well have been a century. Oh, my God.
And that may have been all because of Brandon Ayuk. Look who else we have, Joe.
Look at that, Bob.
It's a Ron Cook fathead. Look at that expression. That's saying, you know what? I did my thing, and now I'm gone, and I'm not going to miss anyone.
Yes, he's done the reverse Shanahan.
How does the conversation shift to discussing Kyle Shanahan?
He's gone from, yes, a man under extreme pressure to no pressure at all.
I wonder what stress does to your life and to your face. A lot.
A lot. It really does, and Ron right now is feeling none of it. Is limits behind? There he is. That's Ron, 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 and their hair is completely white.
the the everyday pressure of that i mean everybody people in different kind of jobs live it in almost all jobs they live it your performance has to has to live up to the standard or you're going to be gone yeah it's like but but but but nobody very few people do it that publicly right well and they see you every single day yeah you don't notice it on a day-to-day and level you don't with hundreds it has to take a picture right for 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 first, the president of the Penguins was Dave Morehouse. 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 said heart issues. 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 a lot of good for you. If you walk for an hour, three, 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 till he was 93. He would walk a mile a day. And I think that, I mean, a lot of it's luck either way, but I think walking, 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. 100%.
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.
What insights are shared about stress and its effects?
One was like good weather. Another one was, I think it was like in Italy, like in the multi-coast where they had to walk everywhere.
