hardly illuminated manuscript
hardly illuminated manuscripts, the guy you had on that wrote the “ performance” book, jeffy. but i get it, you are searching for an edge, a silver bullet, something in pop psychology, something that sells. there is much good in cookie cutter and pop psychology. the behavioral psychologists. the cognitive psychologists and manage care rule roost. but i like humanists Carl Rodgers. the transcendentalists, mellvile, Walt whitman, emerson and thoreau. how bout the depth psychologist’s Freud and Jung? Or james hollis book, slipped into a scene of ted lasso. but jeffy, there’s no money in that? but their wisdom transcends. that’s why we keep reading their novels, little books ( robert a johnson) and listening to their lectures so many years later. it is important that you see hockey as a vehicle for broadening the discussion of our humanity. the ice certainly saved my life, at one point in my life. And it’s wonderful to hear the stories of how it has affected other folk’s lives. Particularly, and now, the Women. thank you for being a hockey sophisticate, jeffy. elliot a skilled hockey businessman and “sneaky good” journalist. one of the best “ yoga books” back in the day was written by Stephen Cope. i think it was titled, “ yoga and the search for”. thanks for your curiosity and good work. Also check out Jan beatty’s poems on her maple leaf father. thanks and take care jeff.

More Burkie, please…🧐😎. Never fail to be amused, informed, better off for having spent the time when he’s on somewhere. Maybe you can drag him back for some more semi regular visits.
Always made a point to DVR record/watch his segments on the tv shows. (Had to keep flipper nearby on rapid-fire to FF thru too much BlueLeafs horse-puckey, tho…😝) Burke embodies some of the greatest, best things about hockey.

Loving the regular daily pod short segments. Cut my tv off in 2019 when I moved, & media-sports-politic-culture-news-infotainment was circling the sewage drain. After decades of increasing disrespect & general trashing of things all over, my sole surviving sport fandom/loyalties are college football and hockey…, and the occasional major golf tourney…

Love Listening to This Show
This is a great hockey show and I love listening to it. A great mix of information and humor. Jeff Marek is natural and easy, the same with Matt Marchese when he fills in, and they regularly get great guests. This includes the regular bits with Elliott Friedman who does the great podcast, 32 Thoughts, also with Jeff Marek.
That said, I’ve got to say that for this show, Elliott needs to decide if he is going to commit to doing his segment or not. And if he does decide to commit to the show, he needs to give it his proper attention. The whole split focus bit is growing tiresome. To not listen and then to ask the host to repeat a question multiple times a segment is tiresome. It is insulting to the hosts and, more importantly, it is insulting to the audience. It sends the message that neither host nor audience are worth his undivided attention.
Elliott, you repeatedly say that you like to treat people well and I believe it, but this behavior does not reflect that sentiment. I would think that you would expect better of yourself.
