Let's get a mic check here. One, two, one, two. Episode 49. No gruffs given. Get busy living or get busy dying. That's God.

0:29.8

God damn right. Morgan Freeman has read in Shawshank Redemption. One of the old, one of the old voice. We got one of the old voice here today.

0:38.8

OB, what's your, Shane O'Brien, everybody? What's your favorite movie? I love Shawshank. That's just quince. It's one of voice on Morgan Freeman by the night. But I just want Shawshank for the first time in years, about a month and a half ago. It's a good reword. I loved it. I loved it. Yeah. Have you seen the clip floating around of Patrick Mahone's and then they spliced it?

0:58.8

They spliced it to Kenny Powers. No, I haven't, but I love Kenny Powers. Well, they sound identical. You're going to love this clip. It's like one of the only times a meme has got me laughing. Kevin Connelly in the building. Kevin.

1:11.8

Well, thought on Shawshank Redemption, you know, read Morgan Freeman's character in the book. It was an Irish guy. So when Morgan Freeman got the role, he said, be funny. Let's just keep keep that line. He said, why do they call you ready? He said, maybe it's because I'm Irish.

1:27.8

It became Morgan Freeman. That's movie starship. I just got goosebumps. Could you imagine anyone not playing that part than him? We're not talking about the movie. Yeah, we're not. Yeah. Yeah. Probably his pinnacle role, you would say, right? At this point, I mean, it would be anybody's pinnacle role, because I would say it's on most people's top 10. And if you're like the guy in that, right, it'd be pretty tough to beat. Oh, he, but he won the Oscar for driving Miss Daisy, I think. Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah.

1:57.8

I've seen that. I think you'll love that. You'll love that. Yeah, you'll be sleeping in 14 seconds. No, you'll love it. I think I would be a guy that likes a, he can stick with the longer payoff. He's not a, you're not a Marvel guy, right? No, I'm not a Marvel guy. But do you think it like in real prisons or is a guy like red? Do you think when you check in there, you scope it out? And you're like, let's get some smokes or whatever. Do you think there is those guys? How many times did you pack a bag? Get on a plane and walk into a new dressing room and not know a single person and have to really kind of identify?

2:27.8

Your future just by glancing around the room. It's right all all the time. And it's funny. We, you know, we were talking about Ryan O'Reilly getting traded to the Leafs earlier. And when I, I signed a one year deal in Colorado. Time to take a haircut. I went in there. Didn't know anyone. I'm looking around this dressing room. And the guys that are playing the music. I'm like, fuck this team socks. He's guys. Fuck is going on here. Then O'Reilly came down out of the gym with like a flat hat on and a sick shirt on it. I'm like, who's this O'Reilly kid? Yeah. I put some my morning jacket on. I like the boys. Finally, I was trying to be the good guy. He's, but I'm like,

2:57.8

I'm finally boys. I'm taking the fucking music. Yeah. And I put my morning jacket on and I looked over at O'Reilly. He was like, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump. So I'm like, let's go have some lunch in the rest of the history. And did the rest of the guys come around? They did. And listen, I was never the guy that wanted to run the music because it's a lot of pressure. Right? I really want no part of it. Like, but it was so bad that I was like, come on, fellas. It's got to start somewhere here. Yeah. Like you can't play country music before an NHL game. You just can't. No, right? I'll give it to you in the mornings, especially after

3:27.8

maybe tough lost it before where we're feeling kind of down. You want to throw some Garth Brooks on or whenever you get the boys kind of feeling good. Yeah. But God, no, after 10 a.m., there should be no country. Yeah, that is a rule. Kevin, do you understand that rule? I get it. I'm just thinking Sean would have some like, Sean would be always introducing. No, you got to hear this. Oh, it was a, it was a battle for me because I like used to play. I used to play like Cigar Ross, you know, 20 minutes before the game because it's got a very like if you played the Gladiator soundtrack, which

3:57.8

doesn't really have a lot of words. And you played it from start to beginning. There's a crescendo that, you know, you could get your head behind that and really kind of get into it. Yeah. I'm not pushing that. That's what I tried to do versus playing a ripper like playing holiday or one of my morning jackets, bangers. Yeah. It's a tough thing. You wanted to go movie score. Really drive up and go the go the full distance. Like, like, so you get to the rink at whatever.

4:27.6

Were your first bus guy or second bus guy on the road? So I'm kind of changed. I was, I was a first guy. You were, I had to pegged as a second bus guy. No, I'd be like, text James. What's that second bus?

4:37.7

Let's grab a coffee before we get on that thing. You know, I felt guilty about it because Holly was the fucking this guy was a before the first bus. He was a always the first guy at the ring.

4:51.3

You would never, no one ever beat Holly to the ring. Really? Yeah. I wouldn't have bet that either. Right. Ever.

4:56.6

Always the first. I wouldn't say you wouldn't beat him to the bar, but I would not say that too. Yeah, but he would always stroll into the bar. He wasn't a rush to get to the bar.

5:04.5

Because he knew the bar wasn't going anywhere. Always the first guy at the rink. And I drove with him for the year that I live with him.

5:11.0

So it just kind of gotten grained. I always thought no matter what the fuck you're doing. If you're the first at the rank, you kind of have somebody, you're a little bit

5:21.5

teflon to a certain extent. Like if I'm hung over an I roll in, but I'm still first, and I'm going to be terrible in practice. I was here. I was ready. Yeah, just didn't pan out.

5:32.7

What was bouncing is that a little bit of an I roll, like, oh, the hot shot here in the first bus. Like this is feel like guys are trying too hard.

5:40.3

I mean, I just didn't have enough to do before a game. Like I just didn't really like looking back. I probably should have had more of a routine than a more of a

5:47.9

than just grab a coffee in the heat pack and wait for the soccer game to start. Yeah, I mean, but to me, I'm like, the more I got to think about the game wasn't good for me. Like I was like, all right,

5:56.5

National Anthem, give me a sniffer. Let's go. Yeah, I was never really thinking about too much other than that. Yeah, did you guys like, I'm wondering because I don't really know, and I don't
