Busy week for KC Crew. Travel and Work commitments. If you haven't heard our first show (Pre-Steve Brown), please give it a listen.
welcome to the Kindness Chronicles, where we hope to inject the world with a dose of the Minnesota nice that it desperately needs.. I am joined here with my faithful companion Hello, john, kevin gorg. You may know him from fox sports north Canterbury Park and, uh, Culver's Drive Thru. Everywhere. I love a good butter burger. Maybe they'll sponsor us. That would be a great sponsor. God, do I love Culver's. And would you like to introduce our special guest here? Well, I, I would. Now, most now know her as a KFAN personality and that's wonderful. But I think of her more as a golden gusty and I thought you were going to say gold digger. No, golden gusty. Sure. And if they ever do an NHL live show, because why wouldn't they? Right. NBA basketball has theirs. This might be a different version, but Carly Zucker, you know, the voice. We love her. We adore her. Carly, welcome. Oh, thank you. Yeah, there's no way I could be in one of those shows. I would have no confidence left after that show. Yeah, but you're so real. We, we've talked about this before. You lay it all out there, which is I do. Yeah. So wonderful. For good and bad. You somehow destroyed the filter along the way. Jason doesn't always love that aspect of you, Yeah. Well, here's the thing. I will say, he definitely knows who he married, of course, and the greatest thing about him is that. Like, I mean, we can just say it. When I sent a Paul Fenton tweet once upon a time Oh god. That could have caused a potential divorce. But he just says to me, he's like, You're a grown up. And now you have to deal with the consequences of your tweet, and I'm like, Oh, like that's almost worse than him being mad. I miss him. But what I miss more is wild games when she tweets like when we're on the road and he and he'll score a goal, she has Uh, Yeah. So, you guys had some of the best one liners and literally, I'm, I'm always on Twitter during the game because that's what you do. Yeah. We gotta follow the stats. You gotta follow the stuff. And there was a time when people thought, and this is how more moronic people can be. And they were all over Carly on Twitter because Jason was scoring all these goals on the road. He had like a six game streak on the road and whether it was the charitable stuff with Give 16. We just had Hendrix. The new baby, obviously Carly and the baby were distracting Jason at home. That's why he wasn't scoring in St. Paul. And she had, I mean, she just was so good. Like, she was so frontal with the fans like, okay, you want to play that game? Yeah. We'll play the game. It was awesome. You have to, you have to like. No, you don't want to. Well, I truly feel like I have, like I, when I got into the business, especially with KFAN because of their fan base, you have to be able to laugh at yourself. Like you just have to be able to, and especially with sports too. Like there's good games and bad games. Like, and Jason's really good about that, but yeah, we, I had a lot of fun with that. I miss that type of stuff. That's the best part of the fan though. Like the PST, I get a lot of grief about. Two epically bad takes I had they were bad takes the hundreds of pounds the two nothing lead I can't work a wild game where there's a two goal lead involved. Like of course a couple nights ago in Vegas Just come if they just come after me and so you just it's the great you have to learn to laugh at yourself You're proven, right? If you watched the game two nights ago, how'd that two goal lead work out for the Wild? and the guys love you, and that's something to be said for that too. Like, they absolutely adore you. Yeah, I love the nicknames. K Train. Yeah, the K Train one we'll get into someday. That, that isn't me. Okay, that is about another Wild player that had a cup of coffee. In St. Paul. It's a story that Darby Hendrickson told me. I obsessed over the story, and all of a sudden him and Andrew Burnett are calling me the K Train, and now these dummies pick up on it, and I'm like, that's not my name. I'm not the K Train. You're K Dog. No, I'm not K Dog. No, you're T Bone. That's a little side film. I am George Costanza. I take great pride in everything about George, but no. I've never, I've never been Kevin. Do you really like George? Can I show you something then? I love George. This isn't going to be great for on air, but we can describe it. That's okay, we'll describe it. Yeah, this is really great. We're not on radio. No, it's close enough. This is always so bad when I do this, but you talk so much. I love it. What's bald? Yeah, no, okay, so I, so I'm. No, you is bald. Something you guys also probably don't know about me. I'm really, I am really good at seeing doppelgangers. Uh oh. So like, I don't like where this is going. No, no, no, no, no. It's not, don't worry. It's very funny. It's like, so when I see something, I can't get it out of my head, so I do it to my family a lot when. I see something and then I'll send it to them. Well, if this is comparing K Train to, uh, T Bone, This is, you're gonna love this. So this was Hendrix as a baby. Oh my god. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what she's showing us is a picture of the, uh, the famous George Costanza posing In his boxer shorts. In his boxers. Across the couch or whatever, the lounge. Stretching out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Hendrix is Our sweet Hendrix did the same thing. They have the same hairline. She's kind of like my hairline. This is what I do all day. So, and then this is my brother, if you remember, um, Wedding Crashers. Then, and He was the, he was the painter guy that was kind of, uh But not kind of, he was nuts. So that's what I spend a lot of my time doing when Jason's on the road, besides tweeting. Tweeting is good. Well, we're here. Because of, uh, the, uh, the relationship that the Zucker family has with a place that's near and dear to those of us who are Masons, Um, I've gotten to know, uh, Carly from a distance, uh, at the, uh, the variety of different, uh, Masonic Children's Hospital Wine Fests. And, uh, I think you've served as MC. You've done a whole bunch of different things. But, uh, um, the, my, my last recollection was you and your husband were there and you were looking lovely. And he was wearing a tux. And let's just say he wears a tux a little more, uh. We wear loose clothes. He looks so good in a tux. He does look good in a tux. That maroon one he has? The maroon one I love. So good. But he's kind of got the short. I love the way her pants look and the no socks and my wife looks at her and she goes, I'd love to be able to look like that just one more time. Just once. You know what? Don't go there. That's not charitable at all. I'll be editing that out. Edit here. Don't do that. Um, but, you know, there are, I would imagine, options that are endless for your philanthropy. Impact that you could have on a charity here in town, but you really seem to have embraced the Masonic Children's Hospital Why what what was what connected you? Yeah, well besides our relationship with Tucker Hellstrom Which I think is well documented and super tell us a little bit about Tucker. Yes Well, Tucker Hellstrom was when we met him the sweetest eight year old boy on the planet But also with so much personality and edge like super kind and always very good giving, um, stories that his mom will tell are wonderful about him and how much he cared about other people. Tucker also was not afraid to give Jason hockey advice whenever we would visit and so it was, he would tell him, you know, if he's not playing well, he'd be like, you got to shoot more and you got to back check. It was back. Check harder. Back. Check harder. Yeah. And shoot more. So Jason got the tattoo of, of Tucker saying shoot more and the right The day before Tucker passed, he gave Jason a hockey card of his, of himself and his signature on the back. Oh my god. So Jason got that signature too on his wrist because he's a big tattoo guy and big meaning, like a lot of meaning in his tattoos. Um, but yeah, Tucker was, I mean, he was such a light and he continues to be, and because he's influencing Team Tucker, which his mom is carrying on, uh, Dana Hellstrom has started Team Tucker and does a lot for the children in the community that might not have resources for sports. And so she helps organize that and, um, bringing people to the hospital. They're called VIPs. And so she brings kids to the hospital, our parents, um, that because something that a lot of people don't know about Masonic, I think, It is the duration of time people spend at Masonic Children's Hospital. You obviously know that really well, but when people are like, well, why'd you build the Zucker Family Sweetened Broadcast Studio? What are kids going to do with that for a day? They don't necessarily, or the end zone, um, and I mean, of course, unless you have an experience with the hospital, you wouldn't know this. And the end zone is the Kyle, Kyle Rudolph end zone, yep, yep, yep, which is just a wonderful space for kids to go and play. Um, but families and patients there spend a ton of time there. It can be months, it can be years, it can be on and off for years. And so, For them to have spaces there to go to and feel familiar outside of the hospital they don't feel are a hospital room, um, are super, super important to have. And so that was one of the reasons, um, when we met Tucker and his family, something that was really important to them was to have these spaces. When we would visit Tucker in the hospital and we'd go for treatment, we would bring our children and Sophia would come and play with his sisters.'cause they were about the same age as Sophia. So they would go into. um, a small room that had some toys. It had some coloring, but it was really geared towards young young kids. So and it was unfined space. They did a really nice job with it with the resources they had. But like, that's why you give there. That's why people you try to come in and we started to give 16 campaign because we're like, Well, what can we do to create bigger spaces and almost more adult spaces because there's teenagers that are patients there. There are older young adults that are patients there and And they might not want or their siblings might not want that room with the younger toys and the coloring. So the Zucker Family Suite and Broadcast Studio, um, was influenced in the idea that it would be another space for patients there to go and have creativity, um, a little bit more of an adult experience. And so through our experience there with Tucker and just seeing what the staff does there. Um, what's provided there, we tried to build something that would have longevity and help patients feel like they're not necessarily in the hospital. It is, it's absolutely, to me, the centerpiece of the life that that hospital has. You know, when you, uh, when I take prospective donors to the, uh, to the Masonic Children's Hospital, we always spend time at the Zucker Family Suite, the, uh, the, the Kyle Rudolph End Zone. They've got some outdoor space that I believe John Sullivan from the Vikings played a role. In raising money for which has got some, you know, like, like kids can actually go out there with their IVs and they have, uh, You know, a way to go down a slide wearing your IV. I mean, it's really amazing how, uh, you know, inventive they've been with those spaces. And, you know, it's like it just, they keep, like, getting space. Where is the space coming from? I know, and I love that because, um, what you don't know when you start building those spaces, spaces are the specialty. Items or things that need to be in there being able to have a spot for your IV. Um, it has to have certain Standards for cleanliness, of course, you know that surfaces have to be of a certain standard And so when you're building those spaces, it's really important and it's not just as simple as building a normal playground You have to make it so that it's functional for kids that have IVs are are in wheelchairs or can do things like that. So, um, and that takes donors. That takes people coming in because the hospital is, has enough to fund with research in their rooms and all those things. And so it really takes people coming in and saying, I would like to build the space, um, for the patients and families there. And I know that, uh, you know, the Zucker family, the, is it Zucker or Zooker? Okay, so, it's Zooker like hooker, is how I try to say it. Zooker like hooker, that's a very creative way to never forget that. Yeah, so the weirdest thing to me, and you know this, is that in the media guide, it's spelt Z O O. So of course people are going to say zoo, because that's how zoo is spelled. So, people say Zooker. That is the only thing that pet peeves him, is that He doesn't like being called Zucker, but we say ZI say zucker most of the time. If like, if I'm saying my name to someone, I say Carly Zucker, because it's if they're have to spell it or it's so much easier than saying like, Zucker, because they're kinda like, well is that a, is that too, yeah, it does confuse people, but so I'm sorry for this. Uh, so it's no easy Zucker, like hooker is how I say it. And you'll always remember that if I'm like Zucker, Jason says Zucker like Booker, but won, won. Forget. He's gonna remember that won't. No, it's more fun the other way. Yeah, it is. You're never gonna remember that. And to get us back on the rails, um, yeah. Anyone who's ever been to a hospital, especially with your children, and we've all, I think, been there, um, a welcome distraction, right? And sometimes the athletes come by, and they spend some time there, which is a huge distraction, and it's awesome. But, for people that are there a long time, for weeks or months, or as you mentioned, Carly, for years, to have a space that truly, for hours on a day, can be a, a welcome distraction, not only for the kids, but for the families. Where they can spend time together. And you think of a broadcast studio, kids and families are always fascinated with putting themselves on the radio or on TV. Go to the state fair sometime and watch like the twins will do that thing where you can do a broadcast. People love that kind of thing. That to me is the heart and soul of what you guys put together. It was, it was done with thought. And there's a process to it. And for families to have that, I think it's gotta be just a godsend for folks to have something so significant. At a place when they're going through a really hard time, and if you can find a day where you can make some memories and get your mind off what you're dealing with, then that's the idea of the whole concept. Yeah, and the legend of Tucker is that he had a Zooker jersey. Yes, well, it was a t shirt that he had, and he crossed off the Z and put T, so it said Tucker, so it's Tucker and Tucker. And so when they, Jason was on the visit with the Minnesota Wild, and when he Um, met him by almost by chance. It truly was. It was like they had this immediate connect serendipity that before he knew he was going to meet Jason. Yeah. Oh, that's he wanted his name on the jersey. He said he was going to give it to whichever player stop by. He was going to just give it to the player to give to Jason. And so he had no, he had no way it was going to be Jason. And then Jared Spurgeon and Jason, um, we're in that room and that's what happened. So it was really felt. I mean, yeah. Whether it's serendipity or fate, like not really talk about fate. I know you feel like, and it, I mean, and I will say it absolutely. I mean, as much as people are like, oh, it's so nice for the athletes to, like, it absolutely changed our lives. It changed our lives dramatically from when we met him. Um, and so we would not, we would not be who we are today without that experience. And, and he had osteosarcoma. Osteosarcoma, yeah. So bone cancer, is that the same thing that Zach Sobi had? Yep. Okay. Yep, yep, yep. Yep. From the famous song clouds, which if you're hitting YouTube hit clouds and get grab a box of tissue Yeah, exactly, especially the one where Brian Cranston and all those celebrities Yeah, I can't watch It's unbelievable. I hosted um date for I used to host date for life and which was an event that his mother puts on and so, um, I was able to meet him before he passed and yeah, um, just briefly, but it was when he it was right when he had, um, written the song. And so it's a cool moment. But Very cool. Yeah, there's a lot of very inspirational children out there, which is pretty impressive. And can you just tell us, you know, we lost Tucker. Yes. Yes, yes. And, uh. 2016, right around, uh, July 4th. And, uh, he took a part of Jason with him, or Jason took a part of, uh, him with him. He's got some tattoos. Yes. Did we talk about that here, or did we talk about that before? Both, I think. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, he, yeah, Jason, um, Shoot more. Shoot more. He's big into tattoos that mean something. He has a ton of tattoos. He has K Train on his lower back, just for the record. Oh, Costanza. Sorry. With just, like, your face. Delete. Delete. Delete here. Edit, please. Sorry. It's so awesome because like Jason's brothers are huge into tattoos too. But one of his brothers doesn't care what it is. Like it's just about getting something. He's covered like fingers to toes. He's covered and he has the caricatures of his sister behind, on his back calf. And we make fun of him all the time for it. But yeah, so Jason's are more, more meaningful and so yes, so he, um, when Tucker gave him a hockey picture of himself with his signature, he got that tattooed on his wrist, which was super important for him. Really cool. Good reminder for Jason, I think. Yeah, um, you mentioned Jared Spurgeon. Yes, uh, Captain Spurgeon. Captain Spurgeon. Who's, without question, my favorite player in the wild, because he's about 5'7 The program says 5'9 but it's not true. Oh, that's such a lie. And he's just He plays remarkably well in a league that's Filled with forwards that go 63220 in the corners. He comes out with the puck 9 out of 10 times, right? And you know his story. His story is unbelievable. It's remarkable. I'll never forget. I think I've told the story before, but I'll I'll shorten it for now. Dan Terhaar and I were up in Calgary. We had gone to a late movie and we get back to the hotel, uh, about midnight and we see this taxi pull up and this looked like a kid, like a 12 year old kid getting out of the car with He still looks like a 12 And back then they played in Houston, so they had the Houston Wild logos on it. I'm like, oh, they got some new stick kid here, Terhaar. Look at this. Oh my god. No, and we were being serious. Like this, okay, there's a kid that came up from Houston maybe help out our equipment staff to help out Tony DaCosta. So the next morning, we're at Morning Skate. You know, we're just going through our normal routine. I got my highlighters out. We're coloring all the, the programs and stuff. And all of a sudden, Terher hits me. He's like, dude. That kid's on the ice, and I'm like, what? He goes, that 12 year old we saw last night, he's on the ice. I'm like, what is it, a make a wish thing? And we felt like idiots because all of a sudden, we watched the game that night, and this kid's damn good. And he's not 12 years old, he's actually at the time like 20. Yeah, and he had Zach's virgin at the time. He's been up ever since. So, it's, it is a great story, but it just reminds me of probably why a lot of teams Didn't take the chance on Jared Spurgeon and what an overachiever he's been throughout his career because he's not only good He's one of the best six to ten defensemen in the league at probably five seven five eight hundred and sixty pounds soaking wet Yeah, I haven't seen 160 pounds since about fourth grade. I don't want to talk about weight right now, okay? The chairs are very comfortable. We can talk height, though. Because Jared, yeah. I'm taller than Jared Spurgeon. Yes! That's the one. And they are just, their whole family, like him and his wife, they are capped in material. Well, they do have a lovely family. Oh my gosh. It's ridiculous. Right out of a picture book. Fox Sports was just what a great, great program. Good people. Great people. I mean, they're high school sweethearts. Solid human beings. Along those lines, Kevin and I have been friends since, uh, since we were in college and when he became, as I like to say, our minor local celebrity. I, I love Major celebrity. I, oh, he's major. Major nothing. Anyway, go on. Anyways, I always I'm less interested about how people are doing on the ice. And I want to know what they are behind the scenes. Of course. I always ask them like, you know, who are the great guys on, you know, in the In the locker room. In the, don't they call it the room? They call it the room. The room. If you're part of our group we do call it room. The room. Yep, she knows. With two O's like Zucker. Yes. Sorry. Yep. But in the room, um, you know, you've experienced a lot of professional athletes in, you know, in both of your lives. And let me just say one thing. Hockey players, I've been around all sports all my life. They're hmm. Absolutely. Um, and, and I've, you know, because many of them came from Minnesota, I mean, there's something. Yeah, we're good people here. Minnesota nice. And a lot of them settle here. If they marry a Minnesotan, like they said, Justin Moore, no, I mean, not a, not an NHL player, but married a Minnesota girl. Stick around. So who are some of those people that just. You know, outside of Jason outside of Jason, who, as you know, I've known since he was a college player at DU and I have a little man crush on, he's just now he's playing. He's a good kid. He's now playing with your true man. Crush 87. My guy, my guy. It's hard to name even a couple because they're all very, very good. Like behind the scenes, like even start at the top of some of the older players like Parisian suitor. These guys do a ton of stuff. Yeah. Miko Koivu had the suite, obviously, where people could come, uh, but Matt Dumba stands out right now. If, if I had to pick one player on the roster right now that goes above and beyond. Day in, day out, week in, week out, practices what he preaches. It's Matt Dumba. And just again last weekend, I was reminded of his charitable giving as he put together a camp for kids that never had any chance of going to a hockey camp other than this. There's going to be hockey players that come out of this, there's going to be stories that come out of this. Matt is always the guy that when the wild needs someone to raise their hand to go help somewhere, he's the first one to go. He's just a remarkable human being, and I've seen the flip side of living in his shoes. Like, I know Matt well enough where he's shown me some of the feedback that he gets on social media from people who maybe aren't as nice, and the fact that he just kind of brushes some of that negativity off and just lives his life and does it his way, it's remarkable. He, um, yeah, we need to celebrate Matt Dumbaugh more often. I'm glad we had a chance to do it over the weekend on Hockey Day Minnesota. Um, but they're just, they're all willing to get involved. Marcus Foligno, another one of those guys that loves to help people out, comes from a great family, mom died of breast cancer, him and his brother Nick, who's a captain down in Columbus, have done a remarkable job of raising money for people going through that. Um, was there a dad, a professional, was he the, played for the Buffalo Sabres? Yeah, he has that, he did that, he did that like jump. That jump when he scores when you jump and Marcus tried and failed miserably and people give him a hard time I always ask the boy. I was like, do you guys try to do that? He's like I tried once and I failed so They don't do it. I was a goalie. I didn't do much jumping in my days. Yeah Carly any names come to mind Um, on the wild specifically, sorry? Well, not the wild specifically, just, you know, you know, obviously the Well, sheesh, um, I mean, there were a lot on the wild. I mean, we were really lucky to be close. I mean, like I said, Spurgeons are some of our best friends still to this day. Um, but the Crosbys, they're very private, so I will not talk too much about them because I honestly just feel like I should give them their privacy, but They are as good of people as you would want them to be. Is that right? Yeah. That's so funny. Um, Kathy Crosby, they're, well, they're not married, but they have been together a very, very long time. And she is the most welcoming captain's wife, as much as Danielle, I mean, uh, Danielle to me is the perfect captain's wife. Kathy is as well. They reach out to everybody. They welcome you. They're kind. It doesn't matter if you've been in the league for one year or you've been in the league for 10 years there, they welcome you with open arms, which I think is super important because to have a successful team, you also need to have the friendships on the team and have fun and have camaraderie and I think that that's really been fun to see in the wild. I feel like this year we've seen a lot of them having a fun Really fun time and I love to see that and with the Pittsburgh to their extremely close The guys are just so close that a lot of them have won two cups together And so they're very close and it comes from the leadership and Crosby is that much of a leader? He follows the rules He's pretty downer guy right for a guy. That's got Unbelievable, but that's I think because they stay so private. That's partly why That they just are very, and I mean this in the best way, they're very simple people in the absolute best way. He gives to me kind of a Joe Mauer vibe. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, just a very, you know, there's no It's a good comparison actually. Like not super complicated in the way, like you don't have to try to unpack him too much. Like he's just a good guy. And he's, he's not a guy that seeks out the spotlight but A long time ago, Gary NHL pretty much made it clear that you're going to be the face of this league. So we're going to need you to do some certain things. It's not something he loves to do, but I'll give you an example. When we're doing wild games in Pittsburgh, you know, we, we can get players from the opposition's team, but we don't get to get the superstars unless they have a connection to Minnesota. Like we'll get David Backus a couple of years ago in Boston because he's a Minnesota guy. We don't get the superstars on those teams unless there's some connection. I've asked for Sidney Crosby three times, and three times Sidney Crosby's come out to do an intermission interview with Joe Schmoe here who they don't know in Pittsburgh. That's the kind of class and character that you want from your leaders. Talk about welcoming, talk about people that are willing to give back in the littlest ways that can make a difference. It's a huge deal for us back in Minnesota. To have 87 on our show. He has no reason to do it, but he does it. And he does it not just for us, but for everybody. And he does a lot of camps for young girls, um, in hockey. And again Sister was a goalie, right? Yeah, and she, I met her, she is She's amazing. No kidding? She's so cool. Yeah. She's like super, super cool. Oh yeah. She's like cool, smart. I was like, oh, your whole family's cool and smart. Well, it is a wild game day and I know that, uh, that KG's got some, uh, some things and I know that Carly, you have three children that are probably tearing your house apart right now. Yeah. I mean, I should probably get back to that. Sure. It's nice to sit in these comfy chairs in this lovely studio you built, though. Yeah. I'm gonna just stay and take a nap. It is. I love these chairs, dude. So we are coming to you from the, uh. from the ante room of the, uh, the Ames Lodge room here at the Masonic Heritage Center. And uh, we hope that, uh, you all get an opportunity to come and check it out. Uh, just want to thank you, Carly, for, uh, coming in. Thanks Carly. I could talk to you all day. This is awesome. This is a really cool podcast you guys are working on. I love it. And, and truly, you know, when you're in the philanthropy business, you know, the, the, the gift of people's interest is really and obviously the gift of your financial investment, you know, we've been able to do the things that we've been able to do because so many brothers within the fraternity and members of the order of the Eastern star have just generously. And, you know, just given to us to, uh, to do something meaningful with their treasures. But the gift of your influence, and I know that that's, you know, in addition to the gift of your investment that, uh, folks like, uh, you and Jason and, you know, the, uh, the Greenway family and the Rudolph family, and we could go on and on. The gift of that influence is really what is so meaningful to the community. And I'm just, you know, grateful that we have folks like you in the community and even folks like you, Kevin. Well, and I gotta be honest. They're giving again like Carly Zucker is giving again because she brought us together for this for this podcast this morning And I'm kind of like I feel like Luke Skywalker and you're my Yoda I'm amazing and training and I'm so excited to be learning about all the masonry. I'm very very excited about Thank You Yoda Yeah, he's, he's in the process of, uh, learning the handshake. You will. And my, I quickly add before I go, I should have probably said this earlier, but just like, I think that part of the reason so many athletes are involved too, is because of the community that Minnesota is as a whole. And that says something about the fans, the media. There is, I think just a greater community than just the athletes wanting to give back, but it's truly built into the fabric. I think of what the Minnesota community is. And so it goes. Much farther than just what the guys can get back or Masonic can give I mean It's just such a community as a whole. So I think that's really important the fans if you play here, you're beloved Yeah, Jason isn't gonna spend his whole career here in Minnesota, but he is gonna be beloved here forever. Oh, and You're right Minnesotans when when you come to our to our spot here and you do good things both on the playing field or on the ice gonna do it for the kids and in the community. That's it. People are like, You're our guy, and he's our guy. And that matters because again with our with give 16 campaign, it was kids giving 16.
