00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:12.160
my morning moon Well I love you, I want you

00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:16.140
Morning moon guitar.

Solo Rise and shine. Happy Devil's Saturday.
5
00:00:34.619 --> 00:00:39.030
This is the Morning Woo coming to you live, live
6
00:00:39.090 --> 00:00:44.929
from the Primetime Radio Studios inside the bunker. Undisclosed location
7
00:00:45.469 --> 00:00:49.920
in beautiful New Jersey as we're streaming live on Facebook Live,
8
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:55.719
YouTube Live, X Live, Twitch, and now on Instagram Live
9
00:00:56.159 --> 00:01:02.100
on the Let's Go Devils Network. As the season continues,
10
00:01:02.259 --> 00:01:09.000
Devils 1-0 undefeated so far in the 2026-27 NHL season.
11
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:12.250
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are. I
12
00:01:12.290 --> 00:01:15.890
see folks filing in to the YouTube live. It's a
13
00:01:15.989 --> 00:01:18.510
big game day today. Devils taking on the New York
14
00:01:18.709 --> 00:01:24.109
Islanders tonight, 7.30 p.m. Eastern start. We'll be on live
15
00:01:24.370 --> 00:01:27.829
on location tonight. today for a viewing party with devils
16
00:01:27.870 --> 00:01:32.950
all day, all night group. I'll be there. Beer Baron,
17
00:01:33.349 --> 00:01:40.109
unfortunately is now a game time decision. We're coming out.
18
00:01:40.230 --> 00:01:42.969
Sources are telling me that he has a UTI and
19
00:01:43.109 --> 00:01:47.950
upper throat injury from the last game, the home opener,
20
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.739
the season opener at the rock. When the devils beat
21
00:01:50.780 --> 00:01:54.239
the flyers three to two in overtime, beer Baron, uh,
22
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:59.989
happened to just lose his voice for screaming loud and
23
00:02:00.049 --> 00:02:02.670
loud and loud and loud. And they just, now he
24
00:02:02.709 --> 00:02:05.930
has no voice. And I talked to him over the
25
00:02:05.969 --> 00:02:08.780
phone thinking, okay, is this guy trying to, is beer
26
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:11.580
Baron trying to skip out on his obligations? I know
27
00:02:11.620 --> 00:02:17.000
he does sound pretty bad. He sounds like Randy McKay. Um,
28
00:02:17.219 --> 00:02:21.599
but We're going to have to probably go to our
29
00:02:21.770 --> 00:02:26.629
emergency backup broadcaster, which, by the way, which we have.
30
00:02:27.210 --> 00:02:30.210
If folks don't know about the Let's Go Devils podcast,
31
00:02:31.409 --> 00:02:33.360
and this is like what we do with our fans.
32
00:02:34.099 --> 00:02:35.759
It's kind of like back in the old days where
33
00:02:35.780 --> 00:02:38.560
you had to pull a fan out and put goalie pads,
34
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:44.830
you know, an emergency, you know, backup goaltender situation, the e-bug.
35
00:02:45.830 --> 00:02:47.810
You know, you pull a fan out of the stands
36
00:02:47.900 --> 00:02:49.719
back in the day, you put pads on them, and
37
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.740
there you go. There's your emergency backup goaltender. Well, with
38
00:02:53.780 --> 00:02:58.060
this podcast, we have an e-bub, not an e-bug, but e-bub,
39
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:02.219
the emergency backup broadcaster. And the one that happens to
40
00:03:02.259 --> 00:03:06.310
be on standby today is Roman, who will be there.
41
00:03:06.330 --> 00:03:09.330
He was originally going there as a fan, but now
42
00:03:09.409 --> 00:03:15.210
suddenly possibly being thrust into a position of... Being the
43
00:03:15.270 --> 00:03:20.229
emergency backup broadcaster and interviewing Grant Marshall, who will be
44
00:03:20.430 --> 00:03:23.960
at this event today for the viewing party when the
45
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:28.379
Devils take on the New York Islanders. I can't believe this,
46
00:03:28.419 --> 00:03:31.319
that we're only two games in. And we have to
47
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.159
go to our emergency backup broadcaster. I wasn't going to
48
00:03:34.219 --> 00:03:37.770
start the podcast, The Morning Woo, with that news. But
49
00:03:37.810 --> 00:03:40.650
that's just insane. And then on top of everything else,
50
00:03:41.090 --> 00:03:43.939
we have a guest. We have Grant Marshall, good friend
51
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:48.050
of the podcast. 2003 Stanley Cup champion with the Devils.
52
00:03:48.430 --> 00:03:52.900
Also in 1999 with the Dallas Stars. Not Minnesota North Stars.
53
00:03:53.180 --> 00:03:56.180
Not them. Definitely not Minnesota. Just want to point out
54
00:03:56.219 --> 00:03:59.560
that Minnesota, the state of hockey, what they call themselves,
55
00:03:59.900 --> 00:04:03.400
has no cups, by the way, to their name. But
56
00:04:03.939 --> 00:04:07.180
the UTI needs to stop. Says always something. Takes me
57
00:04:07.259 --> 00:04:12.400
back to work. And it does not mean upper throat
58
00:04:12.580 --> 00:04:20.079
injury there. Okay. Six days, Max will be at his
59
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:26.279
wedding six days from now on Friday. But that's another
60
00:04:26.300 --> 00:04:30.600
story for another day. Dubs is like, says, what's up, Pod?
61
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:35.319
I'm in my kids' MMA class. That's great. Seeing everybody
62
00:04:35.379 --> 00:04:39.759
checking in on this beautiful Saturday morning, October 3rd, on
63
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:45.240
game day, which is absolutely, absolutely going to be awesome.
64
00:04:45.339 --> 00:04:49.259
We're going to, again, just trying to pull up the
65
00:04:49.339 --> 00:04:53.339
information where we'll be. We'll be in Fairfield, New Jersey.
66
00:04:53.379 --> 00:04:57.139
So if anybody knows where Fairfield, New Jersey is, we'll
67
00:04:57.180 --> 00:05:05.410
be there. At Sidelines Bar Grill, 198 Rue 46, Fairfield,
68
00:05:05.449 --> 00:05:08.620
New Jersey. The Devils all day, all night. Crew Vic
69
00:05:09.420 --> 00:05:13.060
is setting this up with Grant Marshall. Viewing party. The
70
00:05:13.180 --> 00:05:15.740
game starts at 730. We'll be there for game day
71
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.250
live and Devils after dark, which is going to be fun.
72
00:05:20.610 --> 00:05:24.100
But yeah, yeah, it's going to be great. And also,
73
00:05:24.139 --> 00:05:26.810
if you see the headline, are the Devils going 84-0?
74
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:34.079
I just needed a little clickbait. Just need a little clickbait. Because,
75
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:37.610
you know, on social media, I'm getting accused with all
76
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.930
this engagement farming. I don't even know what that term is. Oh,
77
00:05:41.129 --> 00:05:44.490
Wu is doing engagement farming. This is why he's trolling
78
00:05:44.529 --> 00:05:46.930
these Minnesota Wild fans, blah, blah, blah.
79
00:05:47.430 --> 00:05:47.750
No. No.
80
00:05:48.829 --> 00:05:52.060
I'm just going to tell you, I like pissing other
81
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:55.939
teams' fans off, and that's what I do. I don't
82
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:59.920
do this engagement farming, whatever the heck they call it.
83
00:06:00.019 --> 00:06:03.560
I don't like those buzz terms. You know I don't
84
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.879
like the C word, you know, the C word that
85
00:06:07.259 --> 00:06:10.399
Nick Villano likes to say, you know, the word content.
86
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:15.529
I don't even like that, or activation. I hate those words. Like,
87
00:06:15.990 --> 00:06:19.399
why don't you just say, hey, you know... I don't know.
88
00:06:19.819 --> 00:06:22.149
You do a great video. Or, hey, I saw your
89
00:06:22.170 --> 00:06:25.089
video the other day. Not content. Like, come on. Anyway.
90
00:06:26.449 --> 00:06:30.509
Enough about me. Yeah, so the Devils are taking on
91
00:06:30.529 --> 00:06:37.300
the Islanders. Lots of controversy over this joke from an
92
00:06:37.500 --> 00:06:42.560
ESPN reporter. And I put it out. Thanks to Max.
93
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:47.139
I put that out on X at primetime Sam Wu.
94
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:47.230
And.
95
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:52.709
it got a huge response. It got a huge response.
96
00:06:54.050 --> 00:06:56.990
And you know what I'm talking about, right? Now, fans
97
00:06:57.009 --> 00:07:01.250
that went to the game did not know this was
98
00:07:01.290 --> 00:07:09.670
happening on ESPN, nationally televised game. AJ Malesko, between the benches,
99
00:07:11.490 --> 00:07:16.149
interviewing Jack Hughes, that basically just made, you know, she
100
00:07:16.189 --> 00:07:18.800
thought she was going to be witty. and just made
101
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:25.790
a bad joke. It failed miserably. And, you know, some
102
00:07:25.810 --> 00:07:28.389
of the opposing fans saying that Jack Hughes was a
103
00:07:28.410 --> 00:07:30.649
crybaby after saying, oh, that's a weird joke for a
104
00:07:30.709 --> 00:07:34.060
big game, and then skated off. AJ and Lesko, good
105
00:07:34.100 --> 00:07:39.199
friends with Ellen Hughes, Jack's mom. But still, I mean, look,
106
00:07:39.220 --> 00:07:45.129
as what Scottie said on Devils After Dark, after that game,
107
00:07:45.149 --> 00:07:48.439
was leave it to the podcasters to be making jokes.
108
00:07:49.899 --> 00:07:54.480
Leave it to the unprofessionals, essentially, doing this stuff. You're
109
00:07:54.540 --> 00:07:58.740
on a national platform, AJ. You're better than that. You
110
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:03.069
have to be more professional. And again, the one-liner didn't work.
111
00:08:03.250 --> 00:08:07.269
It failed miserably. I think Jack wants to get over,
112
00:08:09.889 --> 00:08:14.230
just move on from what happened at Chicago Cuts A
113
00:08:14.269 --> 00:08:18.329
year ago, life has changed for Jack Hughes. I mean,
114
00:08:18.370 --> 00:08:21.529
since then, he got injured. Then he came back rehabbing.
115
00:08:22.149 --> 00:08:26.339
Things weren't too good. Luke Hughes gets booed. All that jazz.
116
00:08:26.379 --> 00:08:28.939
Going into the Olympics. Not playing for the Devils, but
117
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:32.639
he can play for the Olympics. But he delivered with
118
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:36.440
a golden goal. And definitely one of the key players
119
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:37.340
for Team USA.
120
00:08:37.340 --> 00:08:37.500
47 years.
121
00:08:41.460 --> 00:08:44.899
Since winning gold in Lake Placid in 1980, the Miracle Team,
122
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:49.629
Jack Hughes brings gold home to the United States. And
123
00:08:49.669 --> 00:08:53.610
Jack Hughes' life has changed since then. I think that
124
00:08:53.669 --> 00:08:58.789
Olympic team taught him leadership, taught him what it takes
125
00:08:58.870 --> 00:09:03.669
to win. And you're seeing Jack Hughes taking that role
126
00:09:03.740 --> 00:09:06.259
with this New Jersey Devils team. He doesn't need to
127
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:14.399
wear the C on his jersey anymore. To prove that. Now,
128
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:20.370
last game against the Flyers, Dougie Hamilton scored. Luke Hughes scored.
129
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.250
Jack's brother, Luke Hughes, scored. But offensively, none of the
130
00:09:24.289 --> 00:09:28.710
forwards scored. Until Jack Hughes in overtime, who Jack Hughes
131
00:09:28.789 --> 00:09:32.669
is very deadly three-on-three in overtime. I mean, he essentially
132
00:09:33.049 --> 00:09:39.460
is an assassin in overtime in the NHL. getting that
133
00:09:39.659 --> 00:09:42.960
puck by Wall, who was standing on his head the
134
00:09:43.019 --> 00:09:53.149
entire game, the Flyers' goaltender. You see, when Jack tried
135
00:09:53.190 --> 00:09:55.190
to throw the stick, one of the Flyers tried to,
136
00:09:56.009 --> 00:10:04.440
bat it down unsuccessfully. It was Jack's night. Again, Maria says,
137
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:08.139
no love lost between Jack and ESPN, if you recall
138
00:10:08.179 --> 00:10:11.919
the ESPs. Oh, yeah, yeah. And I appreciate, Maria, you
139
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:15.340
mentioning that because I kind of forgot about that. But
140
00:10:15.409 --> 00:10:17.720
you know what? It turned out, and I actually had
141
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:22.700
this conversation with Danielle McCartin at WFAN about it. Like, why? Why?
142
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:25.799
You know, you went with Anobi, which, you know, being
143
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:34.070
the play of the year, but, well, it's because SB's ESPN, Anobi,
144
00:10:34.190 --> 00:10:36.730
when he had that tip-in for the New York Knickerbockers,
145
00:10:37.330 --> 00:10:44.120
where they won that come-from-behind 30-point down to beat the
146
00:10:44.179 --> 00:10:50.730
Spurs in game four, to essentially win the game, that
147
00:10:50.750 --> 00:10:58.429
was broadcasted on ESPN. Whereas Jack Hughes' Golden Goal was
148
00:10:58.769 --> 00:11:05.230
broadcasted by NBC. That's why it was rated the play
149
00:11:05.250 --> 00:11:08.629
of the year. And this is how the networks work.
150
00:11:09.250 --> 00:11:12.250
All these national networks. And they kind of spoil it
151
00:11:12.309 --> 00:11:15.059
for us, But boy, do they pay a lot of
152
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:21.200
money for the rights to broadcast these games. But still,
153
00:11:21.220 --> 00:11:27.179
I don't think it has anything to do with that, Maria,
154
00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:33.519
but I think you make a valid point. Robert Isaacson said,
155
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:38.480
Jack is on SNL, Pat McAfee show, does Jimmy Fallon.
156
00:11:40.590 --> 00:11:46.490
Some back... Bencher on ESPN wants to talk about bubble
157
00:11:46.529 --> 00:11:52.929
wrap and plastic forks. I see Dubzilla. Hello, Dubzilla. Happy
158
00:11:53.049 --> 00:11:57.169
Devil Saturday to you. But Jack Hughes is a leader
159
00:11:57.269 --> 00:12:01.039
of this team. And he's got a supporting cast. I mean,
160
00:12:01.059 --> 00:12:05.259
you've got to love what Sonny Mata has done to
161
00:12:05.299 --> 00:12:09.659
this Devil's roster. Almost nothing short of a miracle when
162
00:12:09.700 --> 00:12:12.600
they were in cap hell last When he inherited the team.
163
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.899
But the Devils, they put a lot of shots on
164
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:24.379
Wohl and the Flyers on Thursday night. A lot of shots.
165
00:12:24.379 --> 00:12:29.539
44 shots to be exact. But they need to get
166
00:12:29.590 --> 00:12:33.029
more scoring out of their forwards. It's nice that Dougie
167
00:12:33.070 --> 00:12:37.129
Hamilton got that first goal. It's nice that Luke Hughes
168
00:12:38.250 --> 00:12:42.889
got that goal. but they need more scoring from the
169
00:12:42.929 --> 00:12:45.899
top six. And, of course, it's Jack Hughes putting in
170
00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:49.299
the back of the net after getting a feed, tic-tac-toe,
171
00:12:50.539 --> 00:12:59.750
with Jesper Bratt. And we've seen that before. But, you know,
172
00:12:59.870 --> 00:13:08.720
I'll tell you, this team, the vibe on Thursday, tremendous
173
00:13:08.769 --> 00:13:16.669
amount of positivity. tremendous vibe of hope. And I can't
174
00:13:16.710 --> 00:13:19.769
wait for the next game. You know, what we're talking
175
00:13:19.809 --> 00:13:26.190
about tonight, when the Devils are on Long Island and
176
00:13:26.230 --> 00:13:35.850
we're at our viewing party in Fairfield, I just think
177
00:13:35.990 --> 00:13:41.259
the Devils have a chance to win every game. And
178
00:13:41.299 --> 00:13:43.460
it makes it exciting. And we're only in game two.
179
00:13:45.940 --> 00:13:49.220
And the next game at home against the Utah Mammoth,
180
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:53.820
I promise we're going to have the big stage out
181
00:13:54.620 --> 00:13:58.799
when the Devils take on the Utah Mammoth. I've confirmed
182
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:02.039
our guest will be, if you remember her when she
183
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:06.350
worked for the New Jersey Devils, Catherine Bogart, who was
184
00:14:06.429 --> 00:14:10.110
on the Devils content team, is now with the Utah Mammoth.
185
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:12.840
And we're going to have her on the big stage,
186
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:17.730
kind of a homecoming for Catherine when the Utah Mammoth
187
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.009
play the New Jersey Devils. I've got a lot of
188
00:14:21.049 --> 00:14:25.830
questions about the Utah Mammoth, their ownership group, the new
189
00:14:25.950 --> 00:14:31.129
renovations of their arena. John Marino, former Devil, good friend
190
00:14:31.149 --> 00:14:36.860
of the podcast, Paul Marino's kid, signing an eight-year max
191
00:14:36.940 --> 00:14:39.960
contract deal. We'll talk a little bit about that on Tuesday.
192
00:14:40.820 --> 00:14:49.090
But there's just a lot, a lot of passion right now.
193
00:14:49.830 --> 00:14:55.970
And you saw it on Devils After Dark after the
194
00:14:56.009 --> 00:15:01.840
game at American Whiskey. Fans were chanting, you know, they
195
00:15:01.860 --> 00:15:06.000
were singing along to Sweet Caroline. They were chanting Rangers suck,
196
00:15:06.500 --> 00:15:13.730
Flyers swallow. They were just Having fun. Even though the
197
00:15:13.929 --> 00:15:17.490
Department of Homeland Security cleared out Edison Place, the fun
198
00:15:17.529 --> 00:15:21.149
went inside. It didn't go away. It just went inside
199
00:15:21.190 --> 00:15:24.929
for one night. And it feels good to be a
200
00:15:24.980 --> 00:15:29.019
New Jersey Devils fan right now under Sonny Mata. That
201
00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:34.399
we're out of the Tom Fitzgerald regime. And there's just
202
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:39.100
a new, brand new type of attitude that goes along
203
00:15:39.139 --> 00:15:45.529
with it. I saw this on X, somebody tweeting out about,
204
00:15:45.549 --> 00:15:50.600
I think it's Johnny NJD, about him and his girlfriend
205
00:15:50.980 --> 00:15:55.279
were getting food and got fries. And I guess when
206
00:15:55.299 --> 00:15:58.659
they sat down, Sonny made a walk-by, had a nice
207
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:04.539
conversation with Sonny. And Sonny, being the ninja GM that
208
00:16:04.580 --> 00:16:09.000
he is, without even asking, took a couple fries as
209
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:12.840
he was talking. you know, to them remarking how like
210
00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:15.899
cool Sonny made it is. And I think he's a
211
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:19.720
cool guy. I would love to interview Sonny. I know
212
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:22.259
a lot of people have, I've got a lot of
213
00:16:22.340 --> 00:16:25.750
questions about, you know, him as a devil's fan. We
214
00:16:25.789 --> 00:16:28.230
may have bumped into each other because I remember meeting
215
00:16:28.289 --> 00:16:31.610
a Sonny years ago in the parking lot at the Meadowlands.
216
00:16:31.730 --> 00:16:35.370
I just don't remember if that's the same person, but
217
00:16:36.809 --> 00:16:38.470
You know, there was a lot of stories back in
218
00:16:38.509 --> 00:16:41.990
those days when we were tailgating at the Meadowlands. A
219
00:16:42.029 --> 00:16:44.629
lot of people that we met who are, you know,
220
00:16:46.269 --> 00:16:49.070
somewhat famous people. I mean, I talked to Rebecca Morse.
221
00:16:50.570 --> 00:16:56.789
She used to play for the NWHL, PHF, Professional Women's
222
00:16:57.610 --> 00:17:01.740
Ice Hockey. And she was tailgating at the same place
223
00:17:01.769 --> 00:17:04.420
that I was when she was 11 years old. So
224
00:17:04.460 --> 00:17:11.670
it's amazing like how Things turn out. Metalander says, Sonny
225
00:17:11.690 --> 00:17:16.250
has done more media hits this week than Fitz's entire career. Well, see,
226
00:17:16.269 --> 00:17:20.019
that's the thing. I think Sonny is using his charisma
227
00:17:20.579 --> 00:17:23.279
and his openness to his advantage because this is what
228
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:27.259
a poker player does. You still, even all that, you
229
00:17:27.299 --> 00:17:32.720
still don't know what Sonny Mata is thinking. And it's amazing.
230
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:38.799
It's amazing. With all these... out-of-nowhere trades that Sonny has done,
231
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:44.119
there has not been one leak, really, to the media.
232
00:17:45.059 --> 00:17:48.680
You know, Evangelista, or when Jacob Markstrom was traded, or
233
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:52.279
even Shimon Nemitz. There was really not, like, any kind
234
00:17:52.339 --> 00:17:58.700
of heads-up of what he's going to do. And it's crazy.
235
00:17:59.650 --> 00:18:03.980
It's very Lou-esque, but it's not because... I mean, with
236
00:18:04.019 --> 00:18:08.980
Lou LaMarella, I mean, he was just blunt. He was
237
00:18:11.089 --> 00:18:15.529
very upfront, open. I wouldn't say in your face, but
238
00:18:16.049 --> 00:18:21.630
you always knew where Lou stood on everything. But with Sonny,
239
00:18:23.829 --> 00:18:27.039
he's kind of the same way, but in a different way.
240
00:18:27.980 --> 00:18:31.140
Where you could talk to Sonny, but you still have
241
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:34.130
no idea what he's thinking. And I love it. I
242
00:18:34.230 --> 00:18:37.769
love it, I love it, I love it. And who
243
00:18:37.809 --> 00:18:43.339
knows what he thinks about getting Quinn Hughes. I think
244
00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:48.019
if Sonny was smart, I think he would take his
245
00:18:48.059 --> 00:19:02.170
chances in free agency once Quinn Hughes gets there. Seeing
246
00:19:02.190 --> 00:19:06.609
some of the comments. Melander says he talks, but he
247
00:19:06.650 --> 00:19:11.069
doesn't show his cards. And he's referring to Sonny Mata.
248
00:19:12.470 --> 00:19:16.269
But I feel good about this Devils team tonight. I
249
00:19:16.309 --> 00:19:20.119
feel good about going to this viewing party, having a
250
00:19:20.170 --> 00:19:26.000
great time, having a blast, watching the game with fellow
251
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:31.799
Devils fans. Beer Baron just texted saying that he's still
252
00:19:31.819 --> 00:19:39.869
a game-time decision. But we have our E-Bub, Roman. The
253
00:19:39.910 --> 00:19:45.339
fan that was originally coming to this event thinking he's
254
00:19:45.380 --> 00:19:48.750
going to have a great time watching the podcast, watching
255
00:19:48.769 --> 00:19:55.240
the game, is now... thrown in to a monumental task
256
00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:00.839
of not only appearing on the podcast in front of
257
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:05.000
a live audience on Game Day Live. No Vinny Parisi
258
00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:08.380
scheduling conflict. Oh, actually, Vinny may be on. I have
259
00:20:08.420 --> 00:20:10.440
to double check with him. I think it's Tuesday he's off.
260
00:20:10.460 --> 00:20:15.769
Because he covers the Blackhawks for the Hockey News, USA Today.
261
00:20:16.890 --> 00:20:22.849
Covers the Devils on pucksandpitchforks.com. But now Roman's going to
262
00:20:22.890 --> 00:20:27.220
be thrown in and we'll have to ask Grant Marshall,
263
00:20:27.380 --> 00:20:30.940
good friend of the podcast, questions. It's going to be interesting,
264
00:20:31.619 --> 00:20:39.019
but every podcast is going to have an e-bub. And
265
00:20:39.059 --> 00:20:43.319
that's how we roll. Always something 17. We needed Quinn
266
00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:46.730
Hughes drinking game. Shot every time his name comes up.
267
00:20:47.049 --> 00:20:49.569
Going to be an alcoholic by the end of the week. LMAO.
268
00:20:51.210 --> 00:20:56.569
I would agree. Oh my goodness. Another EBUB candidate. Not
269
00:20:56.630 --> 00:21:02.529
sure if he's going to the shindig tonight at sidelines
270
00:21:02.569 --> 00:21:06.539
in Fairfield. Knowing Sonny, I feel like he already has
271
00:21:06.579 --> 00:21:09.289
an acceptable price to pay for Quinn. which may or
272
00:21:09.309 --> 00:21:16.619
may not have already been communicated to him through Jack. Interesting.
273
00:21:21.259 --> 00:21:23.920
Roman says, I was born for this, meaning being an E-Bub.
274
00:21:24.940 --> 00:21:30.119
Oh my goodness, responds the E-Bub's union is getting stronger. Okay,
275
00:21:30.140 --> 00:21:33.900
we should not have a collective bargaining agreement between the
276
00:21:33.940 --> 00:21:38.059
Let's Go Devils podcast and the E-Bub union, okay? The
277
00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:42.559
regular podcasters don't even have a union, all right? Let's
278
00:21:43.140 --> 00:21:48.809
not get out of control here. Because suddenly the e-bubs
279
00:21:48.849 --> 00:21:50.890
are going to be demanding, like, you know, free french
280
00:21:50.930 --> 00:21:53.630
fries before they go on or something like that or
281
00:21:53.650 --> 00:21:57.089
a Sam salad, which, you know, tends to, you know,
282
00:21:57.349 --> 00:22:01.619
the fact jokes, the fact-shaming jokes continue on X at
283
00:22:02.700 --> 00:22:07.740
primetime Sam Wu. Johnny Danks, hello, Johnny Danks. I love
284
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:10.380
the morning woo. It's going to be more of a
285
00:22:10.420 --> 00:22:15.339
weekend thing as there's no way I could do in
286
00:22:15.380 --> 00:22:18.990
the mornings anymore during the week, unfortunately, unless I have
287
00:22:19.009 --> 00:22:23.569
the day off. But it's good to see all of
288
00:22:23.609 --> 00:22:27.049
you back. It really is. It's great to see everybody back.
289
00:22:28.390 --> 00:22:33.140
You know, we had some great guests on Wednesday with
290
00:22:33.259 --> 00:22:39.670
Arthur Staple, who is a credentialed journalist, very well-respected sports reporter,
291
00:22:40.539 --> 00:22:43.759
telling me, Sam Wu, to keep on trolling. Keep it up.
292
00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:48.059
He doesn't want me to stop. Then we have Pete
293
00:22:48.380 --> 00:22:56.880
Blackburn as well. His career is rising. His Chaos podcast
294
00:22:56.940 --> 00:23:03.579
is now with The Ringer with Bill Simmons. Two great guests. Thursday,
295
00:23:03.619 --> 00:23:08.269
we had Chico Resch on Game Day Live. We also
296
00:23:08.309 --> 00:23:14.410
had Keith Cavanaugh as well. Arlette stopped by, say hello.
297
00:23:14.490 --> 00:23:16.910
Rachel Herzog was in the background hanging out with the
298
00:23:16.950 --> 00:23:19.599
fans at American Whiskey on the third floor after we
299
00:23:19.619 --> 00:23:22.119
got kicked off the street at the last second when
300
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:25.180
Department of Homeland Security took over security, which we didn't
301
00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:28.000
have a problem with, but it was a logistical nightmare.
302
00:23:28.019 --> 00:23:31.359
But we were able to pull it off the podcast upstairs,
303
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:38.319
which was just a spectacular moment spectacular podcast we had
304
00:23:38.380 --> 00:23:43.059
for Game Day Live and Devils After Dark. Devils fans chanting, cheering,
305
00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:50.500
hope to get the same crowd today. Nico Dawes coming
306
00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:55.400
out with a stellar performance today. Time for him to
307
00:23:55.440 --> 00:24:01.299
make a statement, says Max. Oh my goodness, says E-Bubs
308
00:24:01.339 --> 00:24:05.420
with two or more podcast appearances. We're not allowed to
309
00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:13.529
appear in any preseason podcast. Very interesting take. Don't know
310
00:24:13.549 --> 00:24:18.230
where you're going with it, but very interesting take. Maria
311
00:24:18.250 --> 00:24:21.650
thought the two guests were great. And we're going to
312
00:24:21.670 --> 00:24:24.289
have more guests here on the Let's Go Devils podcast,
313
00:24:24.329 --> 00:24:28.809
whether it's Morning Woo, Woo Report, Game Day Live, Devils
314
00:24:28.869 --> 00:24:32.190
After Dark, State of the Fan Address, or the Let's
315
00:24:32.230 --> 00:24:36.490
Go Devils podcast Sunday edition. You know, we never did
316
00:24:36.549 --> 00:24:40.950
away with having guests, but we're just more focused on
317
00:24:41.029 --> 00:24:45.369
the podcast, but we're bringing more guests. Metal Liner says,
318
00:24:45.829 --> 00:24:49.230
Arthur Staple was great. Love the Tri-State pod. Yeah, we're
319
00:24:49.250 --> 00:24:52.809
going to try to get Mike Rupp on as well.
320
00:24:54.430 --> 00:24:57.160
Pete says, Nico is ready. He's going to take the
321
00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:00.539
opportunity and run with it. I feel it. Talking about
322
00:25:00.579 --> 00:25:05.319
Nico Dawes. Maria says, best part, no ads. Yeah, I
323
00:25:05.380 --> 00:25:09.400
found the switch, and it wasn't actually on YouTube. It
324
00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:13.670
was on one of our servers that added that component
325
00:25:13.750 --> 00:25:16.009
of the ads, and I had no idea until you
326
00:25:16.049 --> 00:25:21.730
said something. So, again, I appreciate the fan feedback. Here
327
00:25:21.829 --> 00:25:24.869
to the Let's Go Devils podcast as we're building, building,
328
00:25:24.990 --> 00:25:27.329
and building, and we're going to have a lot of fun.
329
00:25:28.269 --> 00:25:30.730
Johnny Dang says, Sam, will you take calls from the
330
00:25:30.769 --> 00:25:34.730
fans this season? We will, but we're still trying to
331
00:25:34.809 --> 00:25:37.450
figure out the protocols because we don't want to have
332
00:25:37.549 --> 00:25:40.269
rogue fans that come on to the podcast and start
333
00:25:40.349 --> 00:25:45.150
swearing or saying awful things on live air. It's already
334
00:25:45.170 --> 00:25:48.369
difficult enough to do things live, but yes, you're going
335
00:25:48.390 --> 00:25:52.329
to have to be a credentialed caller, so to speak,
336
00:25:52.529 --> 00:25:55.009
where we're going to do a background check on you
337
00:25:55.430 --> 00:25:57.869
to make sure that we're going to interview you. We're
338
00:25:57.890 --> 00:26:00.319
going to make sure that you're allowed to call in
339
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:03.240
if you want. But still trying to figure out the
340
00:26:03.259 --> 00:26:06.309
process because we do have the ability to take calls
341
00:26:06.529 --> 00:26:10.609
on location as well. Unlike Mike Russo. Apparently they can't
342
00:26:10.630 --> 00:26:13.849
take calls when they're on location at the Minnesota State Fair.
343
00:26:13.930 --> 00:26:21.980
I thought that was just ridiculous. Anyway. Thank goodness no ads.
344
00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:27.000
I already signed for three Tai Chi walking classes. Oh
345
00:26:27.019 --> 00:26:34.230
my goodness. Always something 17 says, I promise I won't
346
00:26:34.769 --> 00:26:38.259
effing swear, but he's actually spelled out the effing word
347
00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:42.319
on the YouTube live. And that's again, we're all here
348
00:26:42.339 --> 00:26:45.960
to have fun, but we want to have fun with everybody.
349
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:49.440
And I want to include, because I have a lot
350
00:26:49.460 --> 00:26:51.059
of friends that have young kids and they want to
351
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:54.460
listen to the podcast in the car. So we understand
352
00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:56.789
that sometimes it slips out, but we try to be
353
00:26:56.890 --> 00:27:00.309
family friendly. We try to have fun. We try to
354
00:27:00.369 --> 00:27:02.740
have fun. John Heaton makes a great point. You don't
355
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:06.819
want Wild fans calling in. Ha, ha, ha. Yeah, you know,
356
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:12.640
I live rent-free in Minnesota Wild fans' heads. I simply do.
357
00:27:13.259 --> 00:27:16.460
I don't know why. I just had a disagreement with
358
00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:19.849
them this summer back in May, and now it's festered
359
00:27:19.890 --> 00:27:24.250
because the question still remains here on October 3rd, noon Eastern,
360
00:27:25.109 --> 00:27:29.559
as we're live, live. Has Quinn Hughes signed yet? Well,
361
00:27:29.579 --> 00:27:36.970
the answer is no, he hasn't. Anyway, keep that 84-0-0 mentality.
362
00:27:37.690 --> 00:27:40.430
We're going to get out of here. Unfortunately, I don't
363
00:27:40.529 --> 00:27:43.009
have my drink in front of me for the ceremonial sip,
364
00:27:43.509 --> 00:27:46.470
so you're going to have to see me at Sidelines tonight.
365
00:27:47.339 --> 00:27:50.440
Sidelines tonight for the ceremonial sip. I want you guys
366
00:27:50.460 --> 00:27:53.420
to be loud when we're on air. I want you
367
00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:56.200
guys to be lively. We got to make it look good.
368
00:27:57.849 --> 00:28:01.250
Just like we did on Thursday. You know, we're one
369
00:28:01.269 --> 00:28:04.349
of the few or maybe the only Devils podcast. There's
370
00:28:04.369 --> 00:28:07.009
a lot of Devils podcasts out there. But we're one
371
00:28:07.029 --> 00:28:11.099
of the few or only that actually performs with a
372
00:28:11.180 --> 00:28:14.799
live audience. And we want to include you, the fans.
373
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:17.180
You just got to keep the hits clean. That's all
374
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:22.529
we say. Maria said it best. You're a squatter in
375
00:28:22.619 --> 00:28:27.170
many fans' heads. Great line. Going to have to steal
376
00:28:27.269 --> 00:28:31.039
from you. When I go back to trolling at primetime
377
00:28:31.059 --> 00:28:35.009
Sam Wu on X, you can find us on X,
378
00:28:35.109 --> 00:28:36.990
the let's go to all this podcast at let's get
379
00:28:37.009 --> 00:28:40.650
all this pod. You can find us on Facebook, Twitch,
380
00:28:41.910 --> 00:28:45.910
and also Instagram at let's get all this podcast and
381
00:28:45.990 --> 00:28:50.170
on YouTube at let's go devils. Looking at the Instagram live.
382
00:28:50.190 --> 00:28:55.299
We see United flyer. 26 is get Mrs. Wu on here. No, Mrs.
383
00:28:55.380 --> 00:28:59.079
Wu is doing other things. I can't bring Mrs. Wu
384
00:28:59.140 --> 00:29:02.400
to games because then she has to babysit me, and
385
00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:05.740
then you know how that goes. Then I'm not myself.
386
00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:12.440
WheezyNJ11 says, a lot of shots into his chest. Not
387
00:29:12.460 --> 00:29:15.559
sure what he's talking about, but that's okay. He's probably
388
00:29:15.579 --> 00:29:20.380
talking about Nico Dawes getting the start. Johnny Danks wants
389
00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:23.690
a victory football call from Sam Wu today. 2-0, baby, 2-0.
390
00:29:25.769 --> 00:29:33.109
Marchenko drama finally over. Oh my goodness, Washington didn't look
391
00:29:33.150 --> 00:29:39.210
very strong. Pittsburgh never really goes away with Crosby and Malkin.
392
00:29:39.230 --> 00:29:42.940
Devs will only get better, but completely dominated that game.
393
00:29:43.380 --> 00:29:47.880
Columbus might be better off now with knives. Dovzilla says,
394
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:55.380
let's go Devils. And there we go. So we're going
395
00:29:55.400 --> 00:30:03.690
to do a fake ceremonial sip. Always Something 17 said, Mrs.
396
00:30:03.730 --> 00:30:07.039
Wu had enough of Sam Wu's game day nonsense. Well,
397
00:30:07.059 --> 00:30:10.200
did you know that Mrs. Wu and I, this month,
398
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:23.150
our anniversary, 10 years, 10 whole years of marriage. My
399
00:30:23.190 --> 00:30:26.710
boss actually told me, you must have the coolest wife
400
00:30:26.789 --> 00:30:30.710
on earth. I was like, yep. That was my other boss.
401
00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:32.960
But really, Mrs. Wu is the boss. I've got to
402
00:30:33.009 --> 00:30:36.410
mention that there. All right. Anyway, getting out of here,
403
00:30:36.450 --> 00:30:38.450
I'm going to do the fake ceremonial sip, but we'll
404
00:30:38.490 --> 00:30:43.750
do the real one at Sidelines tonight. I hope to
405
00:30:43.789 --> 00:30:46.440
see you guys there. I want to see a crowd
406
00:30:46.500 --> 00:30:51.819
there at Sidelines in Fairfield for Game Day Live and
407
00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:56.480
Devils After Dark. We're going to have fun watching the game. Anyway,
408
00:30:58.730 --> 00:31:07.900
the ceremonial sip. To an undefeated season, I salute you. Ah,
409
00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:15.599
that's no good. Fake sip. AlwaysSomething17 says, Congratulations to Mrs.
410
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:15.859
Wu.
411
00:31:15.900 --> 00:31:19.289
Ten years of Sam must be stressful. Love you both.
412
00:31:19.470 --> 00:31:24.990
Thank you, AlwaysSomething17. Yeah, I love Mrs. Wu. She's great.
413
00:31:25.670 --> 00:31:30.230
She's a cool cat. Always been there for me. I
414
00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:30.690
love Mrs.
415
00:31:30.779 --> 00:31:30.970
Wu.
416
00:31:31.599 --> 00:31:36.900
Anyway, Getting out of here. Hope to see you at Sidelines.
417
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:41.059
Special guest Grant Marshall for the Devils taking on the
418
00:31:41.099 --> 00:31:46.140
New York Islanders on Long Island at Belmont UBS Arena.
419
00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:51.829
Until next time, this is the Morning Woo. Let's go Devils.
420
00:32:00.779 --> 00:32:03.779
Oh, well, I love you.
421
00:32:03.849 --> 00:32:06.789
Ooh And I need you.
422
00:32:06.829 --> 00:32:16.220
Morning, ooh I love you, morning, ooh With a love

Solo Rise and shine. Happy Devil's Saturday.
5
00:00:34.619 --> 00:00:39.030
This is the Morning Woo coming to you live, live
6
00:00:39.090 --> 00:00:44.929
from the Primetime Radio Studios inside the bunker. Undisclosed location
7
00:00:45.469 --> 00:00:49.920
in beautiful New Jersey as we're streaming live on Facebook Live,
8
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:55.719
YouTube Live, X Live, Twitch, and now on Instagram Live
9
00:00:56.159 --> 00:01:02.100
on the Let's Go Devils Network. As the season continues,
10
00:01:02.259 --> 00:01:09.000
Devils 1-0 undefeated so far in the 2026-27 NHL season.
11
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:12.250
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are. I
12
00:01:12.290 --> 00:01:15.890
see folks filing in to the YouTube live. It's a
13
00:01:15.989 --> 00:01:18.510
big game day today. Devils taking on the New York
14
00:01:18.709 --> 00:01:24.109
Islanders tonight, 7.30 p.m. Eastern start. We'll be on live
15
00:01:24.370 --> 00:01:27.829
on location tonight. today for a viewing party with devils
16
00:01:27.870 --> 00:01:32.950
all day, all night group. I'll be there. Beer Baron,
17
00:01:33.349 --> 00:01:40.109
unfortunately is now a game time decision. We're coming out.
18
00:01:40.230 --> 00:01:42.969
Sources are telling me that he has a UTI and
19
00:01:43.109 --> 00:01:47.950
upper throat injury from the last game, the home opener,
20
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.739
the season opener at the rock. When the devils beat
21
00:01:50.780 --> 00:01:54.239
the flyers three to two in overtime, beer Baron, uh,
22
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:59.989
happened to just lose his voice for screaming loud and
23
00:02:00.049 --> 00:02:02.670
loud and loud and loud. And they just, now he
24
00:02:02.709 --> 00:02:05.930
has no voice. And I talked to him over the
25
00:02:05.969 --> 00:02:08.780
phone thinking, okay, is this guy trying to, is beer
26
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:11.580
Baron trying to skip out on his obligations? I know
27
00:02:11.620 --> 00:02:17.000
he does sound pretty bad. He sounds like Randy McKay. Um,
28
00:02:17.219 --> 00:02:21.599
but We're going to have to probably go to our
29
00:02:21.770 --> 00:02:26.629
emergency backup broadcaster, which, by the way, which we have.
30
00:02:27.210 --> 00:02:30.210
If folks don't know about the Let's Go Devils podcast,
31
00:02:31.409 --> 00:02:33.360
and this is like what we do with our fans.
32
00:02:34.099 --> 00:02:35.759
It's kind of like back in the old days where
33
00:02:35.780 --> 00:02:38.560
you had to pull a fan out and put goalie pads,
34
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:44.830
you know, an emergency, you know, backup goaltender situation, the e-bug.
35
00:02:45.830 --> 00:02:47.810
You know, you pull a fan out of the stands
36
00:02:47.900 --> 00:02:49.719
back in the day, you put pads on them, and
37
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.740
there you go. There's your emergency backup goaltender. Well, with
38
00:02:53.780 --> 00:02:58.060
this podcast, we have an e-bub, not an e-bug, but e-bub,
39
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:02.219
the emergency backup broadcaster. And the one that happens to
40
00:03:02.259 --> 00:03:06.310
be on standby today is Roman, who will be there.
41
00:03:06.330 --> 00:03:09.330
He was originally going there as a fan, but now
42
00:03:09.409 --> 00:03:15.210
suddenly possibly being thrust into a position of... Being the
43
00:03:15.270 --> 00:03:20.229
emergency backup broadcaster and interviewing Grant Marshall, who will be
44
00:03:20.430 --> 00:03:23.960
at this event today for the viewing party when the
45
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:28.379
Devils take on the New York Islanders. I can't believe this,
46
00:03:28.419 --> 00:03:31.319
that we're only two games in. And we have to
47
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.159
go to our emergency backup broadcaster. I wasn't going to
48
00:03:34.219 --> 00:03:37.770
start the podcast, The Morning Woo, with that news. But
49
00:03:37.810 --> 00:03:40.650
that's just insane. And then on top of everything else,
50
00:03:41.090 --> 00:03:43.939
we have a guest. We have Grant Marshall, good friend
51
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:48.050
of the podcast. 2003 Stanley Cup champion with the Devils.
52
00:03:48.430 --> 00:03:52.900
Also in 1999 with the Dallas Stars. Not Minnesota North Stars.
53
00:03:53.180 --> 00:03:56.180
Not them. Definitely not Minnesota. Just want to point out
54
00:03:56.219 --> 00:03:59.560
that Minnesota, the state of hockey, what they call themselves,
55
00:03:59.900 --> 00:04:03.400
has no cups, by the way, to their name. But
56
00:04:03.939 --> 00:04:07.180
the UTI needs to stop. Says always something. Takes me
57
00:04:07.259 --> 00:04:12.400
back to work. And it does not mean upper throat
58
00:04:12.580 --> 00:04:20.079
injury there. Okay. Six days, Max will be at his
59
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:26.279
wedding six days from now on Friday. But that's another
60
00:04:26.300 --> 00:04:30.600
story for another day. Dubs is like, says, what's up, Pod?
61
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:35.319
I'm in my kids' MMA class. That's great. Seeing everybody
62
00:04:35.379 --> 00:04:39.759
checking in on this beautiful Saturday morning, October 3rd, on
63
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:45.240
game day, which is absolutely, absolutely going to be awesome.
64
00:04:45.339 --> 00:04:49.259
We're going to, again, just trying to pull up the
65
00:04:49.339 --> 00:04:53.339
information where we'll be. We'll be in Fairfield, New Jersey.
66
00:04:53.379 --> 00:04:57.139
So if anybody knows where Fairfield, New Jersey is, we'll
67
00:04:57.180 --> 00:05:05.410
be there. At Sidelines Bar Grill, 198 Rue 46, Fairfield,
68
00:05:05.449 --> 00:05:08.620
New Jersey. The Devils all day, all night. Crew Vic
69
00:05:09.420 --> 00:05:13.060
is setting this up with Grant Marshall. Viewing party. The
70
00:05:13.180 --> 00:05:15.740
game starts at 730. We'll be there for game day
71
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.250
live and Devils after dark, which is going to be fun.
72
00:05:20.610 --> 00:05:24.100
But yeah, yeah, it's going to be great. And also,
73
00:05:24.139 --> 00:05:26.810
if you see the headline, are the Devils going 84-0?
74
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:34.079
I just needed a little clickbait. Just need a little clickbait. Because,
75
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:37.610
you know, on social media, I'm getting accused with all
76
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.930
this engagement farming. I don't even know what that term is. Oh,
77
00:05:41.129 --> 00:05:44.490
Wu is doing engagement farming. This is why he's trolling
78
00:05:44.529 --> 00:05:46.930
these Minnesota Wild fans, blah, blah, blah.
79
00:05:47.430 --> 00:05:47.750
No. No.
80
00:05:48.829 --> 00:05:52.060
I'm just going to tell you, I like pissing other
81
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:55.939
teams' fans off, and that's what I do. I don't
82
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:59.920
do this engagement farming, whatever the heck they call it.
83
00:06:00.019 --> 00:06:03.560
I don't like those buzz terms. You know I don't
84
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.879
like the C word, you know, the C word that
85
00:06:07.259 --> 00:06:10.399
Nick Villano likes to say, you know, the word content.
86
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:15.529
I don't even like that, or activation. I hate those words. Like,
87
00:06:15.990 --> 00:06:19.399
why don't you just say, hey, you know... I don't know.
88
00:06:19.819 --> 00:06:22.149
You do a great video. Or, hey, I saw your
89
00:06:22.170 --> 00:06:25.089
video the other day. Not content. Like, come on. Anyway.
90
00:06:26.449 --> 00:06:30.509
Enough about me. Yeah, so the Devils are taking on
91
00:06:30.529 --> 00:06:37.300
the Islanders. Lots of controversy over this joke from an
92
00:06:37.500 --> 00:06:42.560
ESPN reporter. And I put it out. Thanks to Max.
93
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:47.139
I put that out on X at primetime Sam Wu.
94
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:47.230
And.
95
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:52.709
it got a huge response. It got a huge response.
96
00:06:54.050 --> 00:06:56.990
And you know what I'm talking about, right? Now, fans
97
00:06:57.009 --> 00:07:01.250
that went to the game did not know this was
98
00:07:01.290 --> 00:07:09.670
happening on ESPN, nationally televised game. AJ Malesko, between the benches,
99
00:07:11.490 --> 00:07:16.149
interviewing Jack Hughes, that basically just made, you know, she
100
00:07:16.189 --> 00:07:18.800
thought she was going to be witty. and just made
101
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:25.790
a bad joke. It failed miserably. And, you know, some
102
00:07:25.810 --> 00:07:28.389
of the opposing fans saying that Jack Hughes was a
103
00:07:28.410 --> 00:07:30.649
crybaby after saying, oh, that's a weird joke for a
104
00:07:30.709 --> 00:07:34.060
big game, and then skated off. AJ and Lesko, good
105
00:07:34.100 --> 00:07:39.199
friends with Ellen Hughes, Jack's mom. But still, I mean, look,
106
00:07:39.220 --> 00:07:45.129
as what Scottie said on Devils After Dark, after that game,
107
00:07:45.149 --> 00:07:48.439
was leave it to the podcasters to be making jokes.
108
00:07:49.899 --> 00:07:54.480
Leave it to the unprofessionals, essentially, doing this stuff. You're
109
00:07:54.540 --> 00:07:58.740
on a national platform, AJ. You're better than that. You
110
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:03.069
have to be more professional. And again, the one-liner didn't work.
111
00:08:03.250 --> 00:08:07.269
It failed miserably. I think Jack wants to get over,
112
00:08:09.889 --> 00:08:14.230
just move on from what happened at Chicago Cuts A
113
00:08:14.269 --> 00:08:18.329
year ago, life has changed for Jack Hughes. I mean,
114
00:08:18.370 --> 00:08:21.529
since then, he got injured. Then he came back rehabbing.
115
00:08:22.149 --> 00:08:26.339
Things weren't too good. Luke Hughes gets booed. All that jazz.
116
00:08:26.379 --> 00:08:28.939
Going into the Olympics. Not playing for the Devils, but
117
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:32.639
he can play for the Olympics. But he delivered with
118
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:36.440
a golden goal. And definitely one of the key players
119
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:37.340
for Team USA.
120
00:08:37.340 --> 00:08:37.500
47 years.
121
00:08:41.460 --> 00:08:44.899
Since winning gold in Lake Placid in 1980, the Miracle Team,
122
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:49.629
Jack Hughes brings gold home to the United States. And
123
00:08:49.669 --> 00:08:53.610
Jack Hughes' life has changed since then. I think that
124
00:08:53.669 --> 00:08:58.789
Olympic team taught him leadership, taught him what it takes
125
00:08:58.870 --> 00:09:03.669
to win. And you're seeing Jack Hughes taking that role
126
00:09:03.740 --> 00:09:06.259
with this New Jersey Devils team. He doesn't need to
127
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:14.399
wear the C on his jersey anymore. To prove that. Now,
128
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:20.370
last game against the Flyers, Dougie Hamilton scored. Luke Hughes scored.
129
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.250
Jack's brother, Luke Hughes, scored. But offensively, none of the
130
00:09:24.289 --> 00:09:28.710
forwards scored. Until Jack Hughes in overtime, who Jack Hughes
131
00:09:28.789 --> 00:09:32.669
is very deadly three-on-three in overtime. I mean, he essentially
132
00:09:33.049 --> 00:09:39.460
is an assassin in overtime in the NHL. getting that
133
00:09:39.659 --> 00:09:42.960
puck by Wall, who was standing on his head the
134
00:09:43.019 --> 00:09:53.149
entire game, the Flyers' goaltender. You see, when Jack tried
135
00:09:53.190 --> 00:09:55.190
to throw the stick, one of the Flyers tried to,
136
00:09:56.009 --> 00:10:04.440
bat it down unsuccessfully. It was Jack's night. Again, Maria says,
137
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:08.139
no love lost between Jack and ESPN, if you recall
138
00:10:08.179 --> 00:10:11.919
the ESPs. Oh, yeah, yeah. And I appreciate, Maria, you
139
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:15.340
mentioning that because I kind of forgot about that. But
140
00:10:15.409 --> 00:10:17.720
you know what? It turned out, and I actually had
141
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:22.700
this conversation with Danielle McCartin at WFAN about it. Like, why? Why?
142
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:25.799
You know, you went with Anobi, which, you know, being
143
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:34.070
the play of the year, but, well, it's because SB's ESPN, Anobi,
144
00:10:34.190 --> 00:10:36.730
when he had that tip-in for the New York Knickerbockers,
145
00:10:37.330 --> 00:10:44.120
where they won that come-from-behind 30-point down to beat the
146
00:10:44.179 --> 00:10:50.730
Spurs in game four, to essentially win the game, that
147
00:10:50.750 --> 00:10:58.429
was broadcasted on ESPN. Whereas Jack Hughes' Golden Goal was
148
00:10:58.769 --> 00:11:05.230
broadcasted by NBC. That's why it was rated the play
149
00:11:05.250 --> 00:11:08.629
of the year. And this is how the networks work.
150
00:11:09.250 --> 00:11:12.250
All these national networks. And they kind of spoil it
151
00:11:12.309 --> 00:11:15.059
for us, But boy, do they pay a lot of
152
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:21.200
money for the rights to broadcast these games. But still,
153
00:11:21.220 --> 00:11:27.179
I don't think it has anything to do with that, Maria,
154
00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:33.519
but I think you make a valid point. Robert Isaacson said,
155
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:38.480
Jack is on SNL, Pat McAfee show, does Jimmy Fallon.
156
00:11:40.590 --> 00:11:46.490
Some back... Bencher on ESPN wants to talk about bubble
157
00:11:46.529 --> 00:11:52.929
wrap and plastic forks. I see Dubzilla. Hello, Dubzilla. Happy
158
00:11:53.049 --> 00:11:57.169
Devil Saturday to you. But Jack Hughes is a leader
159
00:11:57.269 --> 00:12:01.039
of this team. And he's got a supporting cast. I mean,
160
00:12:01.059 --> 00:12:05.259
you've got to love what Sonny Mata has done to
161
00:12:05.299 --> 00:12:09.659
this Devil's roster. Almost nothing short of a miracle when
162
00:12:09.700 --> 00:12:12.600
they were in cap hell last When he inherited the team.
163
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.899
But the Devils, they put a lot of shots on
164
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:24.379
Wohl and the Flyers on Thursday night. A lot of shots.
165
00:12:24.379 --> 00:12:29.539
44 shots to be exact. But they need to get
166
00:12:29.590 --> 00:12:33.029
more scoring out of their forwards. It's nice that Dougie
167
00:12:33.070 --> 00:12:37.129
Hamilton got that first goal. It's nice that Luke Hughes
168
00:12:38.250 --> 00:12:42.889
got that goal. but they need more scoring from the
169
00:12:42.929 --> 00:12:45.899
top six. And, of course, it's Jack Hughes putting in
170
00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:49.299
the back of the net after getting a feed, tic-tac-toe,
171
00:12:50.539 --> 00:12:59.750
with Jesper Bratt. And we've seen that before. But, you know,
172
00:12:59.870 --> 00:13:08.720
I'll tell you, this team, the vibe on Thursday, tremendous
173
00:13:08.769 --> 00:13:16.669
amount of positivity. tremendous vibe of hope. And I can't
174
00:13:16.710 --> 00:13:19.769
wait for the next game. You know, what we're talking
175
00:13:19.809 --> 00:13:26.190
about tonight, when the Devils are on Long Island and
176
00:13:26.230 --> 00:13:35.850
we're at our viewing party in Fairfield, I just think
177
00:13:35.990 --> 00:13:41.259
the Devils have a chance to win every game. And
178
00:13:41.299 --> 00:13:43.460
it makes it exciting. And we're only in game two.
179
00:13:45.940 --> 00:13:49.220
And the next game at home against the Utah Mammoth,
180
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:53.820
I promise we're going to have the big stage out
181
00:13:54.620 --> 00:13:58.799
when the Devils take on the Utah Mammoth. I've confirmed
182
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:02.039
our guest will be, if you remember her when she
183
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:06.350
worked for the New Jersey Devils, Catherine Bogart, who was
184
00:14:06.429 --> 00:14:10.110
on the Devils content team, is now with the Utah Mammoth.
185
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:12.840
And we're going to have her on the big stage,
186
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:17.730
kind of a homecoming for Catherine when the Utah Mammoth
187
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.009
play the New Jersey Devils. I've got a lot of
188
00:14:21.049 --> 00:14:25.830
questions about the Utah Mammoth, their ownership group, the new
189
00:14:25.950 --> 00:14:31.129
renovations of their arena. John Marino, former Devil, good friend
190
00:14:31.149 --> 00:14:36.860
of the podcast, Paul Marino's kid, signing an eight-year max
191
00:14:36.940 --> 00:14:39.960
contract deal. We'll talk a little bit about that on Tuesday.
192
00:14:40.820 --> 00:14:49.090
But there's just a lot, a lot of passion right now.
193
00:14:49.830 --> 00:14:55.970
And you saw it on Devils After Dark after the
194
00:14:56.009 --> 00:15:01.840
game at American Whiskey. Fans were chanting, you know, they
195
00:15:01.860 --> 00:15:06.000
were singing along to Sweet Caroline. They were chanting Rangers suck,
196
00:15:06.500 --> 00:15:13.730
Flyers swallow. They were just Having fun. Even though the
197
00:15:13.929 --> 00:15:17.490
Department of Homeland Security cleared out Edison Place, the fun
198
00:15:17.529 --> 00:15:21.149
went inside. It didn't go away. It just went inside
199
00:15:21.190 --> 00:15:24.929
for one night. And it feels good to be a
200
00:15:24.980 --> 00:15:29.019
New Jersey Devils fan right now under Sonny Mata. That
201
00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:34.399
we're out of the Tom Fitzgerald regime. And there's just
202
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:39.100
a new, brand new type of attitude that goes along
203
00:15:39.139 --> 00:15:45.529
with it. I saw this on X, somebody tweeting out about,
204
00:15:45.549 --> 00:15:50.600
I think it's Johnny NJD, about him and his girlfriend
205
00:15:50.980 --> 00:15:55.279
were getting food and got fries. And I guess when
206
00:15:55.299 --> 00:15:58.659
they sat down, Sonny made a walk-by, had a nice
207
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:04.539
conversation with Sonny. And Sonny, being the ninja GM that
208
00:16:04.580 --> 00:16:09.000
he is, without even asking, took a couple fries as
209
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:12.840
he was talking. you know, to them remarking how like
210
00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:15.899
cool Sonny made it is. And I think he's a
211
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:19.720
cool guy. I would love to interview Sonny. I know
212
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:22.259
a lot of people have, I've got a lot of
213
00:16:22.340 --> 00:16:25.750
questions about, you know, him as a devil's fan. We
214
00:16:25.789 --> 00:16:28.230
may have bumped into each other because I remember meeting
215
00:16:28.289 --> 00:16:31.610
a Sonny years ago in the parking lot at the Meadowlands.
216
00:16:31.730 --> 00:16:35.370
I just don't remember if that's the same person, but
217
00:16:36.809 --> 00:16:38.470
You know, there was a lot of stories back in
218
00:16:38.509 --> 00:16:41.990
those days when we were tailgating at the Meadowlands. A
219
00:16:42.029 --> 00:16:44.629
lot of people that we met who are, you know,
220
00:16:46.269 --> 00:16:49.070
somewhat famous people. I mean, I talked to Rebecca Morse.
221
00:16:50.570 --> 00:16:56.789
She used to play for the NWHL, PHF, Professional Women's
222
00:16:57.610 --> 00:17:01.740
Ice Hockey. And she was tailgating at the same place
223
00:17:01.769 --> 00:17:04.420
that I was when she was 11 years old. So
224
00:17:04.460 --> 00:17:11.670
it's amazing like how Things turn out. Metalander says, Sonny
225
00:17:11.690 --> 00:17:16.250
has done more media hits this week than Fitz's entire career. Well, see,
226
00:17:16.269 --> 00:17:20.019
that's the thing. I think Sonny is using his charisma
227
00:17:20.579 --> 00:17:23.279
and his openness to his advantage because this is what
228
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:27.259
a poker player does. You still, even all that, you
229
00:17:27.299 --> 00:17:32.720
still don't know what Sonny Mata is thinking. And it's amazing.
230
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:38.799
It's amazing. With all these... out-of-nowhere trades that Sonny has done,
231
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:44.119
there has not been one leak, really, to the media.
232
00:17:45.059 --> 00:17:48.680
You know, Evangelista, or when Jacob Markstrom was traded, or
233
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:52.279
even Shimon Nemitz. There was really not, like, any kind
234
00:17:52.339 --> 00:17:58.700
of heads-up of what he's going to do. And it's crazy.
235
00:17:59.650 --> 00:18:03.980
It's very Lou-esque, but it's not because... I mean, with
236
00:18:04.019 --> 00:18:08.980
Lou LaMarella, I mean, he was just blunt. He was
237
00:18:11.089 --> 00:18:15.529
very upfront, open. I wouldn't say in your face, but
238
00:18:16.049 --> 00:18:21.630
you always knew where Lou stood on everything. But with Sonny,
239
00:18:23.829 --> 00:18:27.039
he's kind of the same way, but in a different way.
240
00:18:27.980 --> 00:18:31.140
Where you could talk to Sonny, but you still have
241
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:34.130
no idea what he's thinking. And I love it. I
242
00:18:34.230 --> 00:18:37.769
love it, I love it, I love it. And who
243
00:18:37.809 --> 00:18:43.339
knows what he thinks about getting Quinn Hughes. I think
244
00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:48.019
if Sonny was smart, I think he would take his
245
00:18:48.059 --> 00:19:02.170
chances in free agency once Quinn Hughes gets there. Seeing
246
00:19:02.190 --> 00:19:06.609
some of the comments. Melander says he talks, but he
247
00:19:06.650 --> 00:19:11.069
doesn't show his cards. And he's referring to Sonny Mata.
248
00:19:12.470 --> 00:19:16.269
But I feel good about this Devils team tonight. I
249
00:19:16.309 --> 00:19:20.119
feel good about going to this viewing party, having a
250
00:19:20.170 --> 00:19:26.000
great time, having a blast, watching the game with fellow
251
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:31.799
Devils fans. Beer Baron just texted saying that he's still
252
00:19:31.819 --> 00:19:39.869
a game-time decision. But we have our E-Bub, Roman. The
253
00:19:39.910 --> 00:19:45.339
fan that was originally coming to this event thinking he's
254
00:19:45.380 --> 00:19:48.750
going to have a great time watching the podcast, watching
255
00:19:48.769 --> 00:19:55.240
the game, is now... thrown in to a monumental task
256
00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:00.839
of not only appearing on the podcast in front of
257
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:05.000
a live audience on Game Day Live. No Vinny Parisi
258
00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:08.380
scheduling conflict. Oh, actually, Vinny may be on. I have
259
00:20:08.420 --> 00:20:10.440
to double check with him. I think it's Tuesday he's off.
260
00:20:10.460 --> 00:20:15.769
Because he covers the Blackhawks for the Hockey News, USA Today.
261
00:20:16.890 --> 00:20:22.849
Covers the Devils on pucksandpitchforks.com. But now Roman's going to
262
00:20:22.890 --> 00:20:27.220
be thrown in and we'll have to ask Grant Marshall,
263
00:20:27.380 --> 00:20:30.940
good friend of the podcast, questions. It's going to be interesting,
264
00:20:31.619 --> 00:20:39.019
but every podcast is going to have an e-bub. And
265
00:20:39.059 --> 00:20:43.319
that's how we roll. Always something 17. We needed Quinn
266
00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:46.730
Hughes drinking game. Shot every time his name comes up.
267
00:20:47.049 --> 00:20:49.569
Going to be an alcoholic by the end of the week. LMAO.
268
00:20:51.210 --> 00:20:56.569
I would agree. Oh my goodness. Another EBUB candidate. Not
269
00:20:56.630 --> 00:21:02.529
sure if he's going to the shindig tonight at sidelines
270
00:21:02.569 --> 00:21:06.539
in Fairfield. Knowing Sonny, I feel like he already has
271
00:21:06.579 --> 00:21:09.289
an acceptable price to pay for Quinn. which may or
272
00:21:09.309 --> 00:21:16.619
may not have already been communicated to him through Jack. Interesting.
273
00:21:21.259 --> 00:21:23.920
Roman says, I was born for this, meaning being an E-Bub.
274
00:21:24.940 --> 00:21:30.119
Oh my goodness, responds the E-Bub's union is getting stronger. Okay,
275
00:21:30.140 --> 00:21:33.900
we should not have a collective bargaining agreement between the
276
00:21:33.940 --> 00:21:38.059
Let's Go Devils podcast and the E-Bub union, okay? The
277
00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:42.559
regular podcasters don't even have a union, all right? Let's
278
00:21:43.140 --> 00:21:48.809
not get out of control here. Because suddenly the e-bubs
279
00:21:48.849 --> 00:21:50.890
are going to be demanding, like, you know, free french
280
00:21:50.930 --> 00:21:53.630
fries before they go on or something like that or
281
00:21:53.650 --> 00:21:57.089
a Sam salad, which, you know, tends to, you know,
282
00:21:57.349 --> 00:22:01.619
the fact jokes, the fact-shaming jokes continue on X at
283
00:22:02.700 --> 00:22:07.740
primetime Sam Wu. Johnny Danks, hello, Johnny Danks. I love
284
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:10.380
the morning woo. It's going to be more of a
285
00:22:10.420 --> 00:22:15.339
weekend thing as there's no way I could do in
286
00:22:15.380 --> 00:22:18.990
the mornings anymore during the week, unfortunately, unless I have
287
00:22:19.009 --> 00:22:23.569
the day off. But it's good to see all of
288
00:22:23.609 --> 00:22:27.049
you back. It really is. It's great to see everybody back.
289
00:22:28.390 --> 00:22:33.140
You know, we had some great guests on Wednesday with
290
00:22:33.259 --> 00:22:39.670
Arthur Staple, who is a credentialed journalist, very well-respected sports reporter,
291
00:22:40.539 --> 00:22:43.759
telling me, Sam Wu, to keep on trolling. Keep it up.
292
00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:48.059
He doesn't want me to stop. Then we have Pete
293
00:22:48.380 --> 00:22:56.880
Blackburn as well. His career is rising. His Chaos podcast
294
00:22:56.940 --> 00:23:03.579
is now with The Ringer with Bill Simmons. Two great guests. Thursday,
295
00:23:03.619 --> 00:23:08.269
we had Chico Resch on Game Day Live. We also
296
00:23:08.309 --> 00:23:14.410
had Keith Cavanaugh as well. Arlette stopped by, say hello.
297
00:23:14.490 --> 00:23:16.910
Rachel Herzog was in the background hanging out with the
298
00:23:16.950 --> 00:23:19.599
fans at American Whiskey on the third floor after we
299
00:23:19.619 --> 00:23:22.119
got kicked off the street at the last second when
300
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:25.180
Department of Homeland Security took over security, which we didn't
301
00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:28.000
have a problem with, but it was a logistical nightmare.
302
00:23:28.019 --> 00:23:31.359
But we were able to pull it off the podcast upstairs,
303
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:38.319
which was just a spectacular moment spectacular podcast we had
304
00:23:38.380 --> 00:23:43.059
for Game Day Live and Devils After Dark. Devils fans chanting, cheering,
305
00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:50.500
hope to get the same crowd today. Nico Dawes coming
306
00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:55.400
out with a stellar performance today. Time for him to
307
00:23:55.440 --> 00:24:01.299
make a statement, says Max. Oh my goodness, says E-Bubs
308
00:24:01.339 --> 00:24:05.420
with two or more podcast appearances. We're not allowed to
309
00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:13.529
appear in any preseason podcast. Very interesting take. Don't know
310
00:24:13.549 --> 00:24:18.230
where you're going with it, but very interesting take. Maria
311
00:24:18.250 --> 00:24:21.650
thought the two guests were great. And we're going to
312
00:24:21.670 --> 00:24:24.289
have more guests here on the Let's Go Devils podcast,
313
00:24:24.329 --> 00:24:28.809
whether it's Morning Woo, Woo Report, Game Day Live, Devils
314
00:24:28.869 --> 00:24:32.190
After Dark, State of the Fan Address, or the Let's
315
00:24:32.230 --> 00:24:36.490
Go Devils podcast Sunday edition. You know, we never did
316
00:24:36.549 --> 00:24:40.950
away with having guests, but we're just more focused on
317
00:24:41.029 --> 00:24:45.369
the podcast, but we're bringing more guests. Metal Liner says,
318
00:24:45.829 --> 00:24:49.230
Arthur Staple was great. Love the Tri-State pod. Yeah, we're
319
00:24:49.250 --> 00:24:52.809
going to try to get Mike Rupp on as well.
320
00:24:54.430 --> 00:24:57.160
Pete says, Nico is ready. He's going to take the
321
00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:00.539
opportunity and run with it. I feel it. Talking about
322
00:25:00.579 --> 00:25:05.319
Nico Dawes. Maria says, best part, no ads. Yeah, I
323
00:25:05.380 --> 00:25:09.400
found the switch, and it wasn't actually on YouTube. It
324
00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:13.670
was on one of our servers that added that component
325
00:25:13.750 --> 00:25:16.009
of the ads, and I had no idea until you
326
00:25:16.049 --> 00:25:21.730
said something. So, again, I appreciate the fan feedback. Here
327
00:25:21.829 --> 00:25:24.869
to the Let's Go Devils podcast as we're building, building,
328
00:25:24.990 --> 00:25:27.329
and building, and we're going to have a lot of fun.
329
00:25:28.269 --> 00:25:30.730
Johnny Dang says, Sam, will you take calls from the
330
00:25:30.769 --> 00:25:34.730
fans this season? We will, but we're still trying to
331
00:25:34.809 --> 00:25:37.450
figure out the protocols because we don't want to have
332
00:25:37.549 --> 00:25:40.269
rogue fans that come on to the podcast and start
333
00:25:40.349 --> 00:25:45.150
swearing or saying awful things on live air. It's already
334
00:25:45.170 --> 00:25:48.369
difficult enough to do things live, but yes, you're going
335
00:25:48.390 --> 00:25:52.329
to have to be a credentialed caller, so to speak,
336
00:25:52.529 --> 00:25:55.009
where we're going to do a background check on you
337
00:25:55.430 --> 00:25:57.869
to make sure that we're going to interview you. We're
338
00:25:57.890 --> 00:26:00.319
going to make sure that you're allowed to call in
339
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:03.240
if you want. But still trying to figure out the
340
00:26:03.259 --> 00:26:06.309
process because we do have the ability to take calls
341
00:26:06.529 --> 00:26:10.609
on location as well. Unlike Mike Russo. Apparently they can't
342
00:26:10.630 --> 00:26:13.849
take calls when they're on location at the Minnesota State Fair.
343
00:26:13.930 --> 00:26:21.980
I thought that was just ridiculous. Anyway. Thank goodness no ads.
344
00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:27.000
I already signed for three Tai Chi walking classes. Oh
345
00:26:27.019 --> 00:26:34.230
my goodness. Always something 17 says, I promise I won't
346
00:26:34.769 --> 00:26:38.259
effing swear, but he's actually spelled out the effing word
347
00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:42.319
on the YouTube live. And that's again, we're all here
348
00:26:42.339 --> 00:26:45.960
to have fun, but we want to have fun with everybody.
349
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:49.440
And I want to include, because I have a lot
350
00:26:49.460 --> 00:26:51.059
of friends that have young kids and they want to
351
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:54.460
listen to the podcast in the car. So we understand
352
00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:56.789
that sometimes it slips out, but we try to be
353
00:26:56.890 --> 00:27:00.309
family friendly. We try to have fun. We try to
354
00:27:00.369 --> 00:27:02.740
have fun. John Heaton makes a great point. You don't
355
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:06.819
want Wild fans calling in. Ha, ha, ha. Yeah, you know,
356
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:12.640
I live rent-free in Minnesota Wild fans' heads. I simply do.
357
00:27:13.259 --> 00:27:16.460
I don't know why. I just had a disagreement with
358
00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:19.849
them this summer back in May, and now it's festered
359
00:27:19.890 --> 00:27:24.250
because the question still remains here on October 3rd, noon Eastern,
360
00:27:25.109 --> 00:27:29.559
as we're live, live. Has Quinn Hughes signed yet? Well,
361
00:27:29.579 --> 00:27:36.970
the answer is no, he hasn't. Anyway, keep that 84-0-0 mentality.
362
00:27:37.690 --> 00:27:40.430
We're going to get out of here. Unfortunately, I don't
363
00:27:40.529 --> 00:27:43.009
have my drink in front of me for the ceremonial sip,
364
00:27:43.509 --> 00:27:46.470
so you're going to have to see me at Sidelines tonight.
365
00:27:47.339 --> 00:27:50.440
Sidelines tonight for the ceremonial sip. I want you guys
366
00:27:50.460 --> 00:27:53.420
to be loud when we're on air. I want you
367
00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:56.200
guys to be lively. We got to make it look good.
368
00:27:57.849 --> 00:28:01.250
Just like we did on Thursday. You know, we're one
369
00:28:01.269 --> 00:28:04.349
of the few or maybe the only Devils podcast. There's
370
00:28:04.369 --> 00:28:07.009
a lot of Devils podcasts out there. But we're one
371
00:28:07.029 --> 00:28:11.099
of the few or only that actually performs with a
372
00:28:11.180 --> 00:28:14.799
live audience. And we want to include you, the fans.
373
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:17.180
You just got to keep the hits clean. That's all
374
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:22.529
we say. Maria said it best. You're a squatter in
375
00:28:22.619 --> 00:28:27.170
many fans' heads. Great line. Going to have to steal
376
00:28:27.269 --> 00:28:31.039
from you. When I go back to trolling at primetime
377
00:28:31.059 --> 00:28:35.009
Sam Wu on X, you can find us on X,
378
00:28:35.109 --> 00:28:36.990
the let's go to all this podcast at let's get
379
00:28:37.009 --> 00:28:40.650
all this pod. You can find us on Facebook, Twitch,
380
00:28:41.910 --> 00:28:45.910
and also Instagram at let's get all this podcast and
381
00:28:45.990 --> 00:28:50.170
on YouTube at let's go devils. Looking at the Instagram live.
382
00:28:50.190 --> 00:28:55.299
We see United flyer. 26 is get Mrs. Wu on here. No, Mrs.
383
00:28:55.380 --> 00:28:59.079
Wu is doing other things. I can't bring Mrs. Wu
384
00:28:59.140 --> 00:29:02.400
to games because then she has to babysit me, and
385
00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:05.740
then you know how that goes. Then I'm not myself.
386
00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:12.440
WheezyNJ11 says, a lot of shots into his chest. Not
387
00:29:12.460 --> 00:29:15.559
sure what he's talking about, but that's okay. He's probably
388
00:29:15.579 --> 00:29:20.380
talking about Nico Dawes getting the start. Johnny Danks wants
389
00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:23.690
a victory football call from Sam Wu today. 2-0, baby, 2-0.
390
00:29:25.769 --> 00:29:33.109
Marchenko drama finally over. Oh my goodness, Washington didn't look
391
00:29:33.150 --> 00:29:39.210
very strong. Pittsburgh never really goes away with Crosby and Malkin.
392
00:29:39.230 --> 00:29:42.940
Devs will only get better, but completely dominated that game.
393
00:29:43.380 --> 00:29:47.880
Columbus might be better off now with knives. Dovzilla says,
394
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:55.380
let's go Devils. And there we go. So we're going
395
00:29:55.400 --> 00:30:03.690
to do a fake ceremonial sip. Always Something 17 said, Mrs.
396
00:30:03.730 --> 00:30:07.039
Wu had enough of Sam Wu's game day nonsense. Well,
397
00:30:07.059 --> 00:30:10.200
did you know that Mrs. Wu and I, this month,
398
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:23.150
our anniversary, 10 years, 10 whole years of marriage. My
399
00:30:23.190 --> 00:30:26.710
boss actually told me, you must have the coolest wife
400
00:30:26.789 --> 00:30:30.710
on earth. I was like, yep. That was my other boss.
401
00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:32.960
But really, Mrs. Wu is the boss. I've got to
402
00:30:33.009 --> 00:30:36.410
mention that there. All right. Anyway, getting out of here,
403
00:30:36.450 --> 00:30:38.450
I'm going to do the fake ceremonial sip, but we'll
404
00:30:38.490 --> 00:30:43.750
do the real one at Sidelines tonight. I hope to
405
00:30:43.789 --> 00:30:46.440
see you guys there. I want to see a crowd
406
00:30:46.500 --> 00:30:51.819
there at Sidelines in Fairfield for Game Day Live and
407
00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:56.480
Devils After Dark. We're going to have fun watching the game. Anyway,
408
00:30:58.730 --> 00:31:07.900
the ceremonial sip. To an undefeated season, I salute you. Ah,
409
00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:15.599
that's no good. Fake sip. AlwaysSomething17 says, Congratulations to Mrs.
410
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:15.859
Wu.
411
00:31:15.900 --> 00:31:19.289
Ten years of Sam must be stressful. Love you both.
412
00:31:19.470 --> 00:31:24.990
Thank you, AlwaysSomething17. Yeah, I love Mrs. Wu. She's great.
413
00:31:25.670 --> 00:31:30.230
She's a cool cat. Always been there for me. I
414
00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:30.690
love Mrs.
415
00:31:30.779 --> 00:31:30.970
Wu.
416
00:31:31.599 --> 00:31:36.900
Anyway, Getting out of here. Hope to see you at Sidelines.
417
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:41.059
Special guest Grant Marshall for the Devils taking on the
418
00:31:41.099 --> 00:31:46.140
New York Islanders on Long Island at Belmont UBS Arena.
419
00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:51.829
Until next time, this is the Morning Woo. Let's go Devils.
420
00:32:00.779 --> 00:32:03.779
Oh, well, I love you.
421
00:32:03.849 --> 00:32:06.789
Ooh And I need you.
422
00:32:06.829 --> 00:32:16.220

423
