I was going to jump on Noory for something he just said but I've learned not to talk before checking I know what I'm talking about.
So nerdy Mike the Millennial called to tell George about how exciting it was in Denver this week with the Colorado Avalanche winning the Stanley Cup. George told him a hockey story, a story George humbly announced was a 'great story'. The story is Tommy is a big hockey fan, one evening George was at one of his favorite St. Louis bistros, Cafe Napoli, enjoying 'a few appetizers' when he noticed hockey legend Wayne Gretzky sitting nearby. George asked Wayne for a favor, Wayne said ok what do you want, George gave him Tommy's number to call, Wayne called Tommy, Tommy asked who was speaking, Wayne said 'Wayne Gretzky' to which Tommy hung up the phone. George then told Mike that Wayne moved to St. Louis and he's going to ask him to come on the show and do a 2 hour interview and ask him questions like 'Were you good at hockey when you were a kid?' Incredible question George. Wayne Gretzky was famous in Canada from 6 years old, he scored hundreds of goals reaching ridiculous numbers nobody before or since has come close to.
So I was going to jump on Noory, Gretzky did play in St. Louis for a very short period of time 25 years ago. He has lived in Southern California since he was traded to the LA Kings over 30 years ago and married actress Janet Jones. I suddenly remembered reading that Gretzky had put up his LA mansion up for sale so before jumping on Noory's claim that Gretzky was living in St. Louis I googled for info and well ..... Gretzky did in fact move to St. Louis recently, his wife is from St. Louis, and she has a 100 year old mother and they wanted to be with her and her family in the Midwest.
Gretzky is famously a nice guy but not even a nice guy is going to waste his time on Noory. The only normal guests Noory has on always have something to sell, Gretzky doesn't need to sell anything.
