00:22like it had something to do with it i don't know if i did that um but wait big announcement from

00:27you no no big announcement just yeah yeah not yet that is insane that you just did that well he put

00:34it out on his social idea yeah uh i am moving on from the florida panthers for something new so

00:38i'm excited i'm excited something new something new only fans no that's a great idea isn't it

00:45isn't it a great idea you could do just feet stuff yeah i got nice feet yeah they're not skates in it

00:51every day yeah look pretty good tuka how you doing good buddy good um i think we have to congratulate

00:56you on the emmy for yes you do i keep hearing about this wow yeah the nested broadcast you razor

01:03and bergy and bergy yeah um the in-game kind of analysis you guys want an emmy yeah unobstructed

01:08views uh first year first emmy this is something i never thought i would hear in my ears that no

01:13tuka and bergy had an emmy together do you each get your own one yes okay i always wondered how that

01:19worked like if you have to split one you each get to take it home a night or if you each get your

01:23own we get our own okay i thought it was a joke when they texted me but it's not it's a real thing

01:27somebody's playing a prank i actually watched the show it's pretty cool it is good because i'm a fan

01:31of manning cast i just hate the way that eli and peyton are in two separate places but with you guys

01:37all being on the couch it's pretty cool and then to see all the different guys that you have on there

01:41talking about the stories so i actually watched the game that way that's yeah we talked about it it's

01:45it's so much easier to do it in person because you don't get the delays and it's not as awkward but

01:50we enjoyed it hopefully we go on season two and and get better but yeah you can invite me on this

01:54year now i don't work did we invite you last year but i worked for a competing franchise so it didn't

01:59really make sense yeah um we were talking about this earlier you guys both uh well sean you've had

02:06the opportunity to be in uh working in the nhl in another market what is it about boston and this

02:14event and and and charity in general that number one athletes almost as soon as they get here

02:21um embrace it and participate in it and the support that that comes for for events like this i think

02:28it's just the authenticity that people have in the community like especially athletes when you get

02:33here like it's i wouldn't say it's expected but you'd be the outlier if you weren't involved in

02:37the community right so uh as you're involved you get thrown into different situations and the jimmy

02:42fund uh dana farber definitely always front to the front of mind and once you go and experience it

02:49how can you not be you know able to contribute so it's they're remarkable they do amazing things

02:54in this telethon's you know it's nationally we've watched in florida it's great yeah yeah we we mentioned

02:59downstairs nesting but it's like when you come in you you basically don't have a choice but to do it

03:04you know your team has 20 plus guys and you get split up in groups of three or four and okay

03:09you're gonna go to hospital you're gonna go to fire station and somewhat whatnot like that and

03:14then you see it and you see what it gives for the kids and you love it and you just want to go go back

03:19as soon as soon as possible and i think it's for in my life in my career it was one of the highlights

03:24always get to see the smile on the kids's face and and how happy they were i think we're fortunate

03:29too that we both stayed here in the summer so we're around in the off season and really involved in the

03:32community and got to experience boston at its best yeah well and both of you guys were uh were really

03:38really active in the community and really did a lot so uh i want to make sure we thank you for
