Speaker 2: anchor kt fun tweets. Here are the important stories he's
Speaker 2: currently tracking from around the world.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's some measles. There's been a couple shootings. Guy
Speaker 3: gotta hit my car. Listen not let's just not today.
Speaker 3: The big thing over the weekend that happened was Stars
Speaker 3: beating the lunch in.
Speaker 2: Game seven Saturday night.
Speaker 3: Whether you like hockey or not, I think this is
Speaker 3: probably the biggest story in DFW over the weekend because
Speaker 3: the Stars were losing to nothing and then in between
Speaker 3: the second and third intermission, Rob Schneider comes out on
Speaker 3: the JumboTron and does you can do it? Is that?
Speaker 2: What did it?
Speaker 3: That is definitely what did it? And I don't think so,
Speaker 3: but go with it, you can do it. Big moment
Speaker 3: for our buddy Shippy, the DJ at the Stars. I
Speaker 3: would imagine, dude, hold on, I want to say this.
Speaker 3: I sat there.
Speaker 1: I was actually at a brewery Saturday night down in
Speaker 1: It's White Rock Brewing, and I'm sitting there with my wife.
Speaker 2: We're kind of having a date night.
Speaker 1: We've been bouncing around and I'm sitting there at the
Speaker 1: bar and we watched the third period together and it's
Speaker 1: kind of empty at this point, so I'm yelling loudly
Speaker 1: by myself. But when they cut to the crowd and
Speaker 1: the crowd is just going absolutely nut s bunkers, I
Speaker 1: did immediately think of Shippy.
Speaker 2: Mike. He's the first person I thought of.
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, he is behind his DJ setup
Speaker 1: right now, controlling the music with eighteen thousand people going
Speaker 1: so insane.
Speaker 2: That's gotta be such an awesome rush for him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is the most That game is the most
Speaker 4: Stars I've watched all season.
Speaker 2: That's a good time to watch. It was awesome.
Speaker 5: Did you feel guilty at all? I felt a little
Speaker 5: guilty because I was like nervous going into that third period,
Speaker 5: especially at the end when they pulled their goalie.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh God, Oh, God of God.
Speaker 5: And then, like I just said, I felt guilty because
Speaker 5: I haven't been watching the Stars because in all the
Speaker 5: MAVs drama that's been going on.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, this is so guilty. This is important, like
Speaker 3: that what she says is very important. The MAVs drama
Speaker 3: covered up a lot of Dallas Stars Hockey's They were
Speaker 3: really good, and they also lost the last eight games
Speaker 3: the regular season that hurt things.
Speaker 2: They had a terrible stretch. Two of their best.
Speaker 3: Players are hurt and didn't play in this series and
Speaker 3: are coming back in the next series.
Speaker 4: It's hasten In and Robertson. Yeah, and they're both going
Speaker 4: to be ready for Game one.
Speaker 3: Yep, they'll be ready to go Winnesday. Well they think so.
Speaker 3: I guess it's not official that they're in.
Speaker 2: Is it here at winnipe at Winnipeg, Okay, so we need.
Speaker 3: To do timeline this thing real quick. January twenty fourth,
Speaker 3: there's a guy for the Stars who had the hat
Speaker 3: trick on on Saturday night, Miko ratting his name. January
Speaker 3: twenty fourth, he was traded from the Colorado Avalanche. The
Speaker 3: Stars just beat to Carolina. And the reason he was
Speaker 3: traded is because they Colorado was like, well, we already
Speaker 3: have a player who's a little bit better than him.
Speaker 3: We're not gonna pay him, we think we don't want
Speaker 3: to risk losing him for nothing. If you remember what
Speaker 3: happened within two weeks of January twenty fourth around here,
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: Like to bring it up honestly. Mm hmm, Mavericks traded
Speaker 2: Luca to the Lakers. Yeah, I'll say it louder for
Speaker 2: those driving in the rain. The Mavericks trade Luke to
Speaker 2: the Lakers.
Speaker 3: Oh so, then the March seventh deadline, a month after
Speaker 3: Lucas traded, the Stars call up Carolina who this ranting
Speaker 3: guy plays for, and give them the stink Oven. A
Speaker 3: guy named stank Oven. Okay, I think he's pronounced it
Speaker 3: stink Oven. But the snak of and goes to Carolina,
Speaker 3: we get Ratting and then sign him.
Speaker 2: Stank Ovan was.
Speaker 1: Real love, by the way, No, no, no, because I
Speaker 1: remember on that timeline I saw a bunch of Stars
Speaker 1: people crying about it.
Speaker 2: They did the snanky leg. Every's heavy score. It's a
Speaker 2: big deal.
Speaker 4: So put it in, uh, put it in another sports perspective, like, uh,
Speaker 4: how how good of.
Speaker 2: A player is ranting in? Like if you were if
Speaker 2: it was an NBA or NFL top twenty five player
Speaker 2: in the league, for sure, but he's what how old?
Speaker 2: Twenty eight? Okay, so they were just like, we don't
Speaker 2: but in hockey they started eighteen, so right. Uh.
Speaker 3: But the Stars immediately signed him to an eight year,
Speaker 3: ninety six million dollar deal, which in hockey is really good.
Speaker 3: And that's out there with the highest paid guys, okay,
Speaker 3: and man, it's Naji Marshall money in the NBA. So
Speaker 3: he's he is immediately top three player for them. Uh yeah, yes,
Speaker 3: Well maybe Robertson Hints and and Hiskin and probably what
Speaker 3: about Johnston. Maybe they're a goal or yeah, maybe they're
Speaker 3: goalie Ottinger or two. Started a lot of good players,
Speaker 3: but here's what Colorado was doing. Colorado was like, well,
Speaker 3: you know, we have guy who usually maybe this guy
Speaker 3: is just playing really great because he's next to this guy.
Speaker 3: Maybe we can you know, divvy up the team a
Speaker 3: little bit whatever. Ranton is also very loved in Colorado,
Speaker 3: gets involved the community, has a lot of charity work
Speaker 3: things like that. He gets traded and then traded to
Speaker 3: the Stars and they're like, Jesus, he get traded to
Speaker 3: one of our rivals and then he did that to
Speaker 3: them on Saturday night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, and you know what that reminds
Speaker 1: me of. That reminds me of the way the Napoli
Speaker 1: thing went down. Napoli got traded too. I believe it
Speaker 1: was Toronto and then immediately flipped over to US Toronto.
Speaker 1: I think who was it it was. He got traded
Speaker 1: from the Angels to somebody. Well, he went to Boston
Speaker 1: Apple the Angels to somebody and then flipped in back
Speaker 1: with us and then he went and spanked him a
Speaker 1: long time ago.
Speaker 2: So then why did the second team trade him?
Speaker 3: Because they're not as good and the Stars offered them
Speaker 3: the state, but they were just like wait, they they
Speaker 3: wanted him.
Speaker 2: They acquired him and then they were like, yeah, maybe not.
Speaker 2: Do you want conspiracy stuff? Yeh. Do you know who
Speaker 2: owns the Carolina hockey team? Huh? I do.
Speaker 1: It's that guy we had on our show many years ago,
Speaker 1: Dallas resident Tom Dundon. Okay, so who started top golf.
Speaker 4: So the conspiracy would be that he got him in
Speaker 4: order to flip him.
Speaker 2: He hooked him, He hooked the Stars up. He's got
Speaker 2: a special side deal going with Gallardi. That's you creating that.
Speaker 1: I just made that up right now on the spot,
Speaker 1: because I remember Tom Dundon was the owner of the
Speaker 1: Carolina hockey team.
Speaker 4: Because there's no way they would have straight up traded
Speaker 4: him to Dallas. No, it would have had to have
Speaker 4: been a second team, right, and then he how long
Speaker 4: was he on that other team?
Speaker 2: About two months?
Speaker 5: Wow?
Speaker 2: Well, you know, less and less than five weeks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they decided we'd rather rather than pay this
Speaker 4: guy long term, we will take up because the Stars
Speaker 4: gave a pretty nice package.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we gave him the stink of him two first
Speaker 3: and two thirds, and then we got him. And then
Speaker 3: he did that. He took it upon himself, put the
Speaker 3: team on his back. Yep, And the Dallas Stars are
Speaker 3: back Wednesday night in Winnipeg.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll talk more about that later in the week,
Speaker 1: but coming up next Comedy Royalty Conan O'Brien is honored
Speaker 1: and we have hilarious audio.
Speaker 2: You do not want to miss it next right here
Speaker 2: on the
