Jim Toth

so loaded.

My parents were like, you've got to give one of those back, Jim, because you can't afford.

You've got too much to spend on you.

Your parents ever say that? Oh, you've got to give that

So we'll get to that in just a few moments.

But Jim, you mentioned the lineup there.

Staying the same for the most part.

There is one change that we see, or it appears that Jack St. Ivany will be drawing into the lineup for Ty Rell Bower, which makes sense just considering how the Blackhawks are a younger team, more speed in the lineup.

And when you get back in, you better solidify it.

And I love that about this team this year 'cause we didn't see it last year.

And a guy who's done that this year, Jim, Isak Roszane.

He, he struggled at the start of the year on the second line.

So my guest for this evening has been here before, so if you've heard prior episodes, you may recognize the voice.

But I have my amazing husband with me tonight.

What's up, boo?

Hello, Miss Jennifer.

You can't do either of those if you don't have something to chug or cheers to.

So this evening we have in our glass Silk and Spice 2023 red blend.

Uh, my husband picked it out this evening.

He found it, picked it out, and it's pretty tasty.

7:48, The Couch Potatoes is on Friday nights at 11:00, Saturday mornings at 11:00, and Sunday nights at 11:00 on CJOB, or you can listen in podcast form at cjob.com or wherever you find your favorite podcasts.[upbeat music] And now we wanna continue the discussion on work-life balance.

Couple of days ago, Jim Toth sort of kicked this off, talking about, uh, remote work and how Manitoba Hydro workers who had the ability to work from home have been, uh, forced back into the office more days a week.

[smacks lips] And we were just wondering about the question, like, is that a good thing? Is that a bad thing? Kind of led to sort of general discussions about work-life balance.

And, uh, and we, and we know...

But you would remember if somebody gave that to you or if you bought it.

Jim, I bought a pair of shorts off a Timu once.

They were women's shorts.

I put them on.

30 years ago somewhere.

I can't remember where.

Jim, where do you get those jeans from? You have one place you buy jeans? Yes.

I usually go to Winners.

Also wanna point you to a chat that Loren McNab had yesterday.

She was in for Jim Toth between 1:00 and 2:00, and just after the 1:00 news she had a great discussion with Inspector Helen Peters with the Traffic Division, uh, Winnipeg Police Service.

So you can find that in the audio vault at cjob.com just after the 1:00 PM news yesterday.

And once again, at 6:15, Richard Cloutier spoke with the Winnipeg Sports Car Club and autocross, uh, director, uh, is for those who have the need for speed, there are healthy ways in which you can do it where you're not putting others at risk.

Have a great day, guys.

Thanks for having me.

More hockey, of course, on Jets at Noon with Tyson Ruwiche and Jim Toth.

And a heads-up that tomorrow we have tickets to give away for Friday's game against Anaheim, and we'll have tickets on the start.

If it isn't the guy who said that Gavin McKenna is going to break Team Mussolini's goal record by 40 goals, scoring 100 goals, over 100 goals in his rookie season.

Jim, that is a bold prediction.

Bold.

If it isn't the guy who said if there's anything worse than not showing up for work on time, Jim, it's not going to your optional practice.

And I haven't seen you at any.

The optional practice is sacred.

And we've got Friday Frenzy for Friesen Brothers.

Rick Dhaliwal out of Vancouver, Jim Toth out of, uh, uh, Winnipeg to, uh, talk about the situation.

Those are g-gonna-- How about the Flames right now? I know we got, uh, Aiden Ganim back at the eighty eighty Ched Studios.

I mean, the Oilers...

We're going to be taking a look at the biggest storylines.

And if you have any questions about the Jets season, as we are now one day away, Jim, from the Jets kicking off the regular season.

How stoked are you right now?

I got some questions about the Flyers season.

Seinfeld used to say, ah, that's a

shame.

I absolutely don't want to talk about it, Jim.

No, I'm pretty
