| 0:00.0 | I think that the holidays feel like frozen noses. I love walking with the dog for long periods of time. |
| 0:10.0 | Hopefully it's snowing and you've got to wrap up warm. So I think a frozen nose is a sweaty armpit |
| 0:15.0 | because your wrapped up so warm but then you're climbing hamps and heath and you get to the top |
| 0:20.0 | and you're like, and then you can see the breath but then your nose is still freezing to touch. |
| 0:25.0 | Joy in every sip with red cups now back at Starbucks. |
| 0:30.0 | Viva Las Vegas. Nothing personal word of the day is Viva Las Vegas. I am lucky. It's a Samson sit down |
| 0:58.0 | and we've got Todd Furman here and he's going to make you smarter because we're about to have a conversation |
| 1:03.0 | about the number one topic that existed in 18 years in baseball and since I've left it has exploded into what's now really the number one |
| 1:14.0 | revenue source in all of sports. We've got a gaming analyst. He's not just a brother from CBS Sports HQ as his own show |
| 1:23.0 | that board. He is a professional not a professional hockey player but a professional analyst Todd Furman. Welcome to nothing personal. How are you? |
| 1:32.0 | I'm doing very well. Thank you guys for inviting me on and let's just say it's a lot easier to kind of sit at multiple screens |
| 1:40.0 | and navigate through the sports betting marketplace that it is to put yourself in harm's way and try and stop a 90 mile |
| 1:46.0 | on our slap shot. Don't think my body is quite built for that at this point in my life. I guess I would say though if you could stop a 90 mile |
| 1:54.0 | an hour slap shot, is it true that you would not be sitting in front of four screens right now? There's always a chance I would have loved to chase |
| 2:01.0 | athletic glory like most of us who played sports at a somewhat competitive level, but you'd be amazed what the recruiting looks you get |
| 2:09.0 | when you're out there going from school to school, they size you up and go your five foot 10 maybe 150 pounds soaking wet on your best day. |
| 2:17.0 | And unfortunately, you know, my ethnic heritage, there aren't a lot of Jewish starting goalies in the national hockey league. |
| 2:23.0 | We're not really built for context sports in the grand scheme of it. So it's more of a kicker pursued. It's more of the agent path and things along those lines. |
| 2:31.0 | Eighth Ross Dean had the right approach trying to figure out how to beat the lines from behind the counter. More so than being out there on the pitch. |
| 2:39.0 | I'm trying to picture my, my can picture my house when I said to my mom, I'd like to play tackle football in my nice Jewish household. |
| 2:47.0 | And she said, don't be ridiculous. You're going to get crushed at that time. I was five one. So I've shot up now four inches. And I've weighed the same since then since |
| 2:55.0 | it's great. Actually, it about a buck 30 soaking wet, but I'll tell you Todd, I view goalie and tackle football as two things that most Jewish boys will never do. |
