16
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:49.439
<v Speaker 2>currently tracking from around the world.

17
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:52.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there's some measles. There's been a couple shootings. Guy

18
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.520
<v Speaker 3>gotta hit my car. Listen not let's just not today.

19
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.200
<v Speaker 3>The big thing over the weekend that happened was Stars

20
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:00.520
<v Speaker 3>beating the lunch in.

21
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Game seven Saturday night.

22
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:05.680
<v Speaker 3>Whether you like hockey or not, I think this is

23
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:09.439
<v Speaker 3>probably the biggest story in DFW over the weekend because

24
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:12.159
<v Speaker 3>the Stars were losing to nothing and then in between

25
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.840
<v Speaker 3>the second and third intermission, Rob Schneider comes out on

26
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.879
<v Speaker 3>the JumboTron and does you can do it? Is that?

27
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:20.439
<v Speaker 2>What did it?

28
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:24.640
<v Speaker 3>That is definitely what did it? And I don't think so,

29
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:26.920
<v Speaker 3>but go with it, you can do it. Big moment

30
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 3>for our buddy Shippy, the DJ at the Stars. I

31
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:31.000
<v Speaker 3>would imagine, dude, hold on, I want to say this.

32
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:32.319
<v Speaker 3>I sat there.

33
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>I was actually at a brewery Saturday night down in

34
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 1>It's White Rock Brewing, and I'm sitting there with my wife.

35
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:39.640
<v Speaker 2>We're kind of having a date night.

36
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.280
<v Speaker 1>We've been bouncing around and I'm sitting there at the

37
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:44.519
<v Speaker 1>bar and we watched the third period together and it's

38
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:46.719
<v Speaker 1>kind of empty at this point, so I'm yelling loudly

39
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>by myself. But when they cut to the crowd and

40
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:53.840
<v Speaker 1>the crowd is just going absolutely nut s bunkers, I

41
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:55.680
<v Speaker 1>did immediately think of Shippy.

42
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Mike. He's the first person I thought of.

43
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.239
<v Speaker 1>I was like, dude, he is behind his DJ setup

44
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:05.879
<v Speaker 1>right now, controlling the music with eighteen thousand people going

45
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:06.640
<v Speaker 1>so insane.

46
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:08.919
<v Speaker 2>That's gotta be such an awesome rush for him.

47
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, this is the most That game is the most

48
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:13.599
<v Speaker 4>Stars I've watched all season.

49
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:16.840
<v Speaker 2>That's a good time to watch. It was awesome.

50
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:18.680
<v Speaker 5>Did you feel guilty at all? I felt a little

51
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 5>guilty because I was like nervous going into that third period,

52
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:23.520
<v Speaker 5>especially at the end when they pulled their goalie.

53
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:25.080
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh God, Oh, God of God.

54
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:27.680
<v Speaker 5>And then, like I just said, I felt guilty because

55
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:29.520
<v Speaker 5>I haven't been watching the Stars because in all the

56
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.120
<v Speaker 5>MAVs drama that's been going on.

57
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:33.719
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, this is so guilty. This is important, like

58
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:35.919
<v Speaker 3>that what she says is very important. The MAVs drama

59
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.000
<v Speaker 3>covered up a lot of Dallas Stars Hockey's They were

60
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:40.759
<v Speaker 3>really good, and they also lost the last eight games

61
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:42.400
<v Speaker 3>the regular season that hurt things.

62
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:45.080
<v Speaker 2>They had a terrible stretch. Two of their best.

63
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:47.479
<v Speaker 3>Players are hurt and didn't play in this series and

64
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:48.719
<v Speaker 3>are coming back in the next series.

65
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:51.560
<v Speaker 4>It's hasten In and Robertson. Yeah, and they're both going

66
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:52.919
<v Speaker 4>to be ready for Game one.

67
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:56.960
<v Speaker 3>Yep, they'll be ready to go Winnesday. Well they think so.

68
00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:58.840
<v Speaker 3>I guess it's not official that they're in.

69
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Is it here at winnipe at Winnipeg, Okay, so we need.

70
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:06.159
<v Speaker 3>To do timeline this thing real quick. January twenty fourth,

71
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:07.879
<v Speaker 3>there's a guy for the Stars who had the hat

72
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:11.680
<v Speaker 3>trick on on Saturday night, Miko ratting his name. January

73
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:14.639
<v Speaker 3>twenty fourth, he was traded from the Colorado Avalanche. The

74
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.039
<v Speaker 3>Stars just beat to Carolina. And the reason he was

75
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 3>traded is because they Colorado was like, well, we already

76
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.280
<v Speaker 3>have a player who's a little bit better than him.

77
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.680
<v Speaker 3>We're not gonna pay him, we think we don't want

78
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:29.120
<v Speaker 3>to risk losing him for nothing. If you remember what

79
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:33.199
<v Speaker 3>happened within two weeks of January twenty fourth around here,

80
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:34.159
<v Speaker 3>I don't.

81
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Like to bring it up honestly. Mm hmm, Mavericks traded

82
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.319
<v Speaker 2>Luca to the Lakers. Yeah, I'll say it louder for

83
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.360
<v Speaker 2>those driving in the rain. The Mavericks trade Luke to

84
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:42.800
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers.

85
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:48.199
<v Speaker 3>Oh so, then the March seventh deadline, a month after

86
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:52.599
<v Speaker 3>Lucas traded, the Stars call up Carolina who this ranting

87
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.479
<v Speaker 3>guy plays for, and give them the stink Oven. A

88
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:59.439
<v Speaker 3>guy named stank Oven. Okay, I think he's pronounced it

89
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 3>stink Oven. But the snak of and goes to Carolina,

90
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:04.120
<v Speaker 3>we get Ratting and then sign him.

91
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:05.159
<v Speaker 2>Stank Ovan was.

92
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.199
<v Speaker 1>Real love, by the way, No, no, no, because I

93
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:09.319
<v Speaker 1>remember on that timeline I saw a bunch of Stars

94
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>people crying about it.

95
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:12.639
<v Speaker 2>They did the snanky leg. Every's heavy score. It's a

96
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:13.080
<v Speaker 2>big deal.

97
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:17.399
<v Speaker 4>So put it in, uh, put it in another sports perspective, like, uh,

98
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:18.839
<v Speaker 4>how how good of.

99
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:20.800
<v Speaker 2>A player is ranting in? Like if you were if

100
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:23.199
<v Speaker 2>it was an NBA or NFL top twenty five player

101
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.240
<v Speaker 2>in the league, for sure, but he's what how old?

102
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:27.399
<v Speaker 2>Twenty eight? Okay, so they were just like, we don't

103
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.240
<v Speaker 2>but in hockey they started eighteen, so right. Uh.

104
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:32.480
<v Speaker 3>But the Stars immediately signed him to an eight year,

105
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.279
<v Speaker 3>ninety six million dollar deal, which in hockey is really good.

106
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:38.040
<v Speaker 3>And that's out there with the highest paid guys, okay,

107
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 3>and man, it's Naji Marshall money in the NBA. So

108
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:46.079
<v Speaker 3>he's he is immediately top three player for them. Uh yeah, yes,

109
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:51.120
<v Speaker 3>Well maybe Robertson Hints and and Hiskin and probably what

110
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.920
<v Speaker 3>about Johnston. Maybe they're a goal or yeah, maybe they're

111
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.319
<v Speaker 3>goalie Ottinger or two. Started a lot of good players,

112
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:58.839
<v Speaker 3>but here's what Colorado was doing. Colorado was like, well,

113
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.399
<v Speaker 3>you know, we have guy who usually maybe this guy

114
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.560
<v Speaker 3>is just playing really great because he's next to this guy.

115
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:06.560
<v Speaker 3>Maybe we can you know, divvy up the team a

116
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.800
<v Speaker 3>little bit whatever. Ranton is also very loved in Colorado,

117
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:12.319
<v Speaker 3>gets involved the community, has a lot of charity work

118
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:15.439
<v Speaker 3>things like that. He gets traded and then traded to

119
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:17.279
<v Speaker 3>the Stars and they're like, Jesus, he get traded to

120
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:19.240
<v Speaker 3>one of our rivals and then he did that to

121
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:20.279
<v Speaker 3>them on Saturday night.

122
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:22.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know what, and you know what that reminds

123
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:24.639
<v Speaker 1>me of. That reminds me of the way the Napoli

124
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.639
<v Speaker 1>thing went down. Napoli got traded too. I believe it

125
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.560
<v Speaker 1>was Toronto and then immediately flipped over to US Toronto.

126
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:32.800
<v Speaker 1>I think who was it it was. He got traded

127
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:36.720
<v Speaker 1>from the Angels to somebody. Well, he went to Boston

128
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:39.759
<v Speaker 1>Apple the Angels to somebody and then flipped in back

129
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.560
<v Speaker 1>with us and then he went and spanked him a

130
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:43.199
<v Speaker 1>long time ago.

131
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:45.279
<v Speaker 2>So then why did the second team trade him?

132
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.759
<v Speaker 3>Because they're not as good and the Stars offered them

133
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.480
<v Speaker 3>the state, but they were just like wait, they they

134
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:52.279
<v Speaker 3>wanted him.

135
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:54.959
<v Speaker 2>They acquired him and then they were like, yeah, maybe not.

136
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Do you want conspiracy stuff? Yeh. Do you know who

137
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.279
<v Speaker 2>owns the Carolina hockey team? Huh? I do.

138
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:02.639
<v Speaker 1>It's that guy we had on our show many years ago,

139
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:06.639
<v Speaker 1>Dallas resident Tom Dundon. Okay, so who started top golf.

140
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:09.720
<v Speaker 4>So the conspiracy would be that he got him in

141
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:10.600
<v Speaker 4>order to flip him.

142
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:12.680
<v Speaker 2>He hooked him, He hooked the Stars up. He's got

143
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:16.399
<v Speaker 2>a special side deal going with Gallardi. That's you creating that.

144
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:18.279
<v Speaker 1>I just made that up right now on the spot,

145
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:20.399
<v Speaker 1>because I remember Tom Dundon was the owner of the

146
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Carolina hockey team.

147
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:23.439
<v Speaker 4>Because there's no way they would have straight up traded

148
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:25.480
<v Speaker 4>him to Dallas. No, it would have had to have

149
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:29.000
<v Speaker 4>been a second team, right, and then he how long

150
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:30.000
<v Speaker 4>was he on that other team?

151
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.160
<v Speaker 2>About two months?

152
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:32.720
<v Speaker 5>Wow?

153
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, less and less than five weeks.

154
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:37.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so they decided we'd rather rather than pay this

155
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:39.800
<v Speaker 4>guy long term, we will take up because the Stars

156
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:40.759
<v Speaker 4>gave a pretty nice package.

157
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:42.639

<v Speaker 3>team on his back. Yep, And the Dallas Stars are

00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:52.399
<v Speaker 3>back Wednesday night in Winnipeg.

162
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:54.920

163
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:59.240
<v Speaker 1>but coming up next Comedy Royalty Conan O'Brien is honored
