Tessa and Scott episode 1 (pt 1 pt 2) sorry i'm not giving any useful context if you've never seen it - it's a good (bad lol) piece of VM history the opening at the carnival in Toronto says "one year ago" - it looks like warm weather, but the show premiered Jan 2, 2014, so when did they film that?

the first performance of DALD 🥺 (seriously, who has those hard drives with the footage lol). interesting to see part of the no touch here compared to the legendary one from Sochi

Marina saying "love you love you a lot" to them when she's about to stab them in the back 💀

Jean-Marc Généreux, the dance/connection coach - Scott says they've been working with him since 2002. VM would have been 12/13 and 14/15 yo they're supposed to be playing out a romantic storyline in the SD: T: right away he (Jean-Marc) saw there was something missing J: so, i want you to look at this guy like he's uh T: like he's David Beckham? J: uhh maybe, or a piece of meat, like a good - like filet mignon - and you'd really like to have a bite (why does she do this? if it was reversed, and Jean-Marc said to Scott, look at her like you think she's attractive, and he said, oh, like she's Jennifer Lopez? that would be rude and invalidating)

i'd forgotten how strange it is, the way they talk about each other -

S: "Tessa and i have a -- *very* -- complex relationship" (arching eyebrow, significant look) ok, how 😅

T: "sometimes we are best friends, sometimes we're just business partners, there's an ebb and a flow to our relationship that is ongoing" -- spending more and less time together is normal, but does your status as best friends change so much? do your friendships work like this? these two were working so closely together, but they'd grow apart enough that she'd call it being "just business partners"? that feels off. from other stuff they've said, it feels more like there were reasons one would hold the other at arm's length and that they didn't talk these things out

Scott seems very inside himself and high key conscious of the camera. very little of the lighter side of him in this show. Tessa also very conscious of the camera but more wanting to do a good job - like watching someone inexperienced acting in a high school play - a little stilted. these producers didn't know what to do with them to get them to be more natural. too bad they wanted to make a reality show and didn't focus more on the skating and the training and let their personalities show in the process

S: VO "after this season, our lives are going to be totally different" T: "what are you going to miss the most" S: "i'll miss - i'm going to miss the structure. 5 o'clock in the mornings" T: "yeah 😐" lol not going to be baited into saying anything personal for national tv. either he thought it was going to be a different kind of show or was talked into it and never bought in. i wonder what the two of them really think of this now

Thank you flames🙏❤️

watched both press conferences today-- treliving in tor, dubas in pitt-- and despite my internal soul clawing at kyle shrieking we used to be something!!😭😭 I'm like very taken by treliving and impressed and pretty excited to see where he takes the progressive analytics org kyle built over the past 5yrs as GM with all the silos (thx lou🙄) brought down and focus on care for the team and employees.

Thoughts on both:

I really loved what brad had to say in his leafs press conf.

Right off the top spoke about Calgary and thanked them

Believes in modern GM'ing of not bossing around from high up in the office building but getting to know the players

How Toronto really is something else from the inside, everyone has an idea of the team and city from the outside but its really something else from the inside (idk how to better explain this but it meant a lot to me, a toronto person who loves my city & the leafs)

Spoke highly of dubas (shanny has been speaking w pens quite a bit over the week as they've been interviewing kyle)

Spoke fondly of gio & brodie (lmao "gio still playing at 75"😂)

Many things are a priority but first order of business is talking to and getting to know auston before moving into the business side of things w him (he's texted w him only so far)

When asked about assistant GMs he may want to bring along w him, he only answered that he very much respects pridham and has already worked extensively w him when he was at coyotes and prid worked for the league and helped him A LOT almost like he was on az staff

When asked about how there has been talk about mlse reporting structure & lack of autonomy in decision-making that drove out dubas, shanny all no no GM makes the decisions...(🙄 We'll see shanny)

Asked about the tkachuk trade and brad called him his son!!🥹😭 Said he did it right with coming to him to tell him he didn't want to sign long-term but look elsewhere and so that's what brad did for him. Those things happen and you just deal with them.

And i was really filled w pride at the insight we got into kyle in his pens press conf.

What he learned from GMing at the soo😭❤️ omg that moment was so beautiful and cute🥹

That Toronto gave permission for Pitt to talk to kyle like pretty much immediately bc they got in touch the next morning after his firing announcement

When asked about who in scouting he'll rely on for the draft etc bc he can't possibly get to know everything in the org prior to the draft in a month, he was like uhhh as GM of a team in the same division I KEPT TABS ON Y'ALL NHL AND AHL i know who u gots *finger snap 😂

His philosophy for winning is building a team that can win in their own division bc those are the teams u play the most, so they can stay on top of the standings and easily get to the playoffs

Since it'll be difficult to get permissions to interview ppl for GM prior to the draft so soon, kyle will act as interim GM in the meanwhile and hire a GM a bit later

When asked about GM wants, first word out his mouth was progressive 😁 also that the person should bring strengths he himself does not have

He's only seen a bit of what the analytics dept has but he's for sure gonna be ramping it up to apply it to all aspects of hockey development, not just game analytics for sully

His wife Shannon encouraged him to entertain pens offer for an initial interview

Met 3 sets of ppl: first interview w owners, then sully & sid about where they think they team is at and what it needs, then jen & someone else(?) took him and his family around Pittsburgh and they really loved it that's what clinched it for kyle & shannon

Right off the top the owner introducing kyle called him kyle dobaaas. 😐😂

So flames, I'm sorry the flames owners let treliving go (and only afterwards finally let go of sutter). He seems wonderful. If we couldn't have our boy dubas back I'm glad we got brad, a highly competent fella, instead of an old hockeyman.

And pens, *deep breath* I'm holding your hand here we go on this journey-- oh did i not mention I'M IN YOUR WALLS NOW you don't just walk away with my kyle I'm coming with

belated but, from a flames fan, i’d just like to wish the leafs fans best of luck with their new gm….😭

renly baratheon; marge tyrell, satin

1. Margaery heehee I love her sm also in subway au she’s one of those Toronto influencers who does literally exactly nothing but look hot at brunch and I think she and Asha cross paths occasionally because Asha and Willas went to Crippled Child Summer Camp together and Balon and Mace are both former Ivy League freakazoids who ended up in Forest Hill somehow and she’s like ‘wow Ashas so cool and edgy’ and Asha is like ‘haha. 😐yeah. I bet u have been really into celery juice lately’. She’s trying very hard to get into tiktok vlogging but it’s not rly taking off but it’s fine she makes ridiculous money on ig selling random shit. Ppl want to have a reason to dislike her because she’s so agonizingly hot and doesn’t have a job but she’s rly rly sweet it’s not her fault she Just Looks Like That despite eating literal garbage and day drinking constantly

2. Renly has been trying to get Barb to start selling his homemade guac at subway despite it being bad. I think he’s Tris’s immediate superior at Weird Probably Finance Or Something Job That Is In The Financial District In A Building With Exposed Brick And A Basil Box/Freshii/Rolltation Nearby. He loudly and unironically identifies as A Cyclist and he always tries to sell Theon on it ‘yeah it’s a great workout *takes loud sip from water bottle* I feel like a tourist in my own city’ ‘yeah I’m actually not allowed to operate heavy machinery. so’

Every time he goes to a holiday party at someone else’s house he’ll bang on the wall and be like ‘good bones!’

3. Sorry Satin I can’t seem to think of anything for u to do besides commenting on the subway bread. I think he is one of Margaery’s condo-dwelling Brunch Friends

Hi, goodmorning! 💕 I hope youre okay and also haven't traveled to France to k*ll the whole OGC Nice team especially the defense apart from Kasper. 😬 I still only know the result but thought maybe I should start watching these matches because I’ve stopped being superstitious or rather believe I’m good luck these days instead of bad. 🤪 Last week I watched the Inter vs Lazio Rome match because I wanted to see Romagnoli’s new team trash Inter altho I didn’t really believe it but then thats exactly what happened! 😁😁 So I’ll try and watch the next Nice matches and hope it’ll help it’s also early in the season still so maybe theyll manage to steady themselves. 🤞

For Milan I will just shut up from now on, be careful what you wish for I guess because the line up for todays match was just announced and Sandro is not in it however, hes on the bench so no sexy glasses for us, this is not a good compromise! 😐 Unless he wants to play with them which would be fine with me but I dont think its safe. 😆 The good news is that Simon is starting together with Fik in defense and I’m looking forward to that so much I’ve never seen them play together and apparently they were great last season. Im also so happy for Simon he was constantly posting about how much hes looking forward to playing again so they absolutely need to win and make sure he gets a good first match back!

If you would like to see your italians in action and scoring heres the highlights of the Toronto match; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KPDbX1sCLc

You dont want to watch full matches tho, the difference in quality between the MLS and the top Europe leagues is crazy! None of the teams would survive in Serie A or Premier league. 😅😅 Yeah the problem with football is you cant just watch one team or maybe players you like because you also need to keep track off all the context like the leagues and cups there playing in and players keep transferring to other clubs or there in the same club but then play against each other with their national teams or from the same country and then their teams face each other in the league 🤪🤪..its all a big mess and I love every thing about it!! Most of the time atleast. 🤣 x

~S.A.

Hello hello!! I've been not so great. 😂😭 Yeah these games have been killing.. I'm actually going to stop watching for a while live matches because I've worked it in my brain that *I* am the bad luck and the one causing all this disaster.... yeah I never said I was the most stable 😅 HONEY IF YOU ARE GOOD LUCK PLEASE I BEG YOU WATCH NICE IF YOU CAN MANAGE!! THEY NEED ALL THE GOOD LUCK THEY CAN GET! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😭

I was rather out of it yesterday and didn't manage to watch that game but it's probably for the better because they would have lost if I watched I'm certain 😭 I miss watching Simon play and I miss watching Milan play but I remember the last game I tuned into to they literally conceded not even 2 full minutes after I did that so... I don't want to risk that again.. I'll just catch up with the matches after they happen. Now Juve? That is the club to watch for me. Everything seems to be going on with that club... and I love drama so.. gotta keep an eye on them again 😏😂

Thank you so much!! I love seeing the Italians playing, especially when they're scoring. 😌 Also.. Berna looks good in red.. now I might have to try and find replays of the MLS too 👁👁

Keeping up with football is SO hard!! There's too many guys, too many leagues, too many cups.. it's all confusion. Especially when transfer windows roll around... IT'S TOO MUCH TO KEEP UP WITH AND I HAVE BUT A TINY LITTLE BIRD BRAIN 😂😭
