Just take your shirt off. Put that suit on that Pinder was wearing. I'm more impressed that you wore your sweatpants. I thought that was a nice touch. Very casual situation. You guys know I barely wear pants when I'm on the show. It's what time am I usually on? On Wednesdays it's like 12.30 Eastern, right?

That's right. Yeah. So I might not. be dressed by then. Up here I am. Yeah, you look sharp. Now, do you want to put out the disclaimer because you have your hugely popular and successful overdrive afternoon radio show on T.S.

It's a professional shop. So while everybody else, and we'll get into the details of the spirits show, but Jamie McLennan, not involved. I got to be a pro. That's the thing. It's my last show before Christmas on Overdrive. So, yes. That's what they always said about you.

What a pro. Yeah, tremendous pro. So it's root beer cove, unfortunately. Later, I will join the show. After my show, I will meet up with you guys later, but it's root beer cove right now. There's no way. In the same thing?

No. Have a root beer in his hand? Just asking? No. No, I was on the wagon. He's been good, right? Is he on the wagon? I know he's losing weight.

Oh, yeah. Like, he's lost, I don't even know the number, but it's like 75 pounds, something crazy. Oh, that's awesome. But yeah, O's doing good. Great. Okay. I did not know he was on the wagon.

I loved it when he had the leotards on or whatever. It was going to do the race. Wasn't he going to run a race? But Al's brother? Yeah, that went, that was a battle. Those two. Now, how didn't you get roped into that? Because you would be sweet.

Those two, I think they, at that time, they felt like it would be a closer race. Now they're talking about, we got Luke Wilson on a show who's like an actual, like, monster athlete. She used to destroy everybody. So, yeah. He's a football guy, right? Yeah. He's good. I like it.

Unbelievable. Great guy, too. Like, he's, he's, uh, he's a star on TV. Yeah. Yeah. Just star on TV. Yeah, big time. A good bullet, too.

I respect. Yeah, the salad. When we, when he first started on TV, he had like, all one length hair. He looked like an Adonis. And he's like six, six, like two 50. And I don't, and I don't, and then he would wear it in a ponytail, a pop. And, like, I don't know if, aesthetically, if they were like, hey, you got to clean that up or whatever.

But all of a sudden, he showed up. with a mullet one day. And he's He's the only guy who can sell a mullet. Like that's a good looking guy with a mullet. Like he's a really handsome and he's a super cool dude. He's the type of guy you want to hang around with it.

You can see at TSN there's all these people like, hey Luke. Like he's like super cool dude. He's like Rhett Warner. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I didn't get invited to Regere's party this year or last year, but they love me. I'm sure, yeah. Reggie has a party? Every year.

You've been invited? No. Oh, yeah. It's a kind of party. Christmas party? Yes, Christmas. I've never, I run the golf tournament with him. He's never read the word of it.

You know what it is? He's part of a country club and he plays tennis. So it's that kind of crap. Look at this guy. Hall of Fame. Holy smokes. That's a real goalie. That's got to be Mike Vernon.

Typical defense. It's got big, ask for forgiveness, beg for permission, whatever. We got it backwards, I guess. I texted Vernie yesterday. I said, hey, what are you doing for the holidays? Hey, we're a little party. Why don't you slide by tomorrow, 11 to 1?

Okay, I'll say hi. That's it. I told you I was going to the lake. So, Jack, let's see the menu. Let's see today's contestants. There it is, the holiday spirits run down. We start with the coffee and Irish cream. Oh, you did start already.

Okay. Yeah. He was serving up the coffees. I thought that was just coffee. Oh, that's going to be the coffee Irish cream. Number one. The Caesars have already been poured.

The Barnburner blonde. Yes, origin. It's some BBB and C. Yeah. Juan's good. Love a BBC with clam. With clam. The winter fashion,

the Christmas punch, and then a little wild card to wrap things up. So those are the 10 drinks of Christmas that we will enjoy together as a group. So you guys are going to run down that list right here. Here right now, live? Right here, right now. Okay, now I've got to, now I see what the show is about.

All right. Oh, God. Okay. So you guys are going to get loaded on YouTube. YouTube. Yeah. Live. Noodles, you do this.

There's shit in Toronto all the time, right? Yeah, I mean, minus the drinking and live studio audience. Like, I mean, our show is, I mean, we are kind of off the cuff, but not like this. It's like, sit on a couch, put on a headset and, like, start talking. I feel like we do that most nights or most days. Now, you're not drinking, but we're on YouTube. It's a free world out here, free system. It is a free world.

I don't mind that. Like, this is cool. You get to say or do whatever you want, and it lives forever on the interweb. Give us some Kipper's story that you couldn't share when he was getting his number put up in the round. Oh, I don't know, man. Like, there's a lot in that vault. If there's a Kipper vault, it's a big vault. But honestly, I think with Kip, I mean, we all have experiences on different levels with Mika.

What did I tell? I told one story. What was the one where I went and trained with him in Finland? And I was dead serious. Like we went out, we went out one night pretty late and he was showing me the, you know, Helsinki and all that or wherever he was. Turku. I think there was from Turku. And we go out and the next morning.

He's like, okay, let's get a bike ride in. And I was like hung. I didn't know we were going to get a sweat or anything. So he comes out of the garage with two bikes. And I jump on and it's like old like my Nana would be driving this bike type of thing. It's got the springs in the back. Yeah, it was just a grind. And I get on this bike and he's riding.

We're riding. And we're like driving around, driving around. And he blows by me. I'm like, this guy is flying. Like what is going on? And it turns out it was saying. ladies bike, but it was one of those electric bikes. So he was just driving it. And he told me, he goes, call Rich Hesketh, our trainer. He goes, put me down for 40 minutes on the bike today.

All right. That's a nutshell, though. He always had like an angle, very funny. Like, that's, his sense of humor was the best. Like, he was never serious. You always thought he was serious, but he was never serious. That's the best part about Mika. Nice. Was he in Chicago? when you got cut up with all the glass that Yeah, he was the... No, I don't think we'd traded for him yet. It was a rookie party. I don't think he'd made it yet.

It was just you and large, wasn't it? He and Roman? Because it was early in the year. Wasn't it like November, though? I feel like that party... I don't recall if he was there or not. I don't recall a lot about that. I feel like...

No, this was in Chicago. We had a rookie party. This guy does a table dive, but instead of going this way, way he lands on top of everything. And it's all these wine glasses and cutlery and everything. And he looks

at me and he goes, I think I'm cut. And there's like blood shooting out of it, Monty Python. And then he almost cut what like an artery down on his leg too. Why were his legs getting cut? I think we're missing unimportant. He's wearing new pants. I think he was. You were naked.

He might have been naked or wearing anything. He had a he had a hat. Like you had a, we created a crown in a scepter. for you and he had a cape and then I think he was just wearing his underwear you know what the girl's laughing you know at the rookie party where they go you ordered what nice bottle of wine and stuff and put it in the ice or whatever right you said I ordered a bottle of vodka on ice there and then yeah it didn't go well and then he got sewn up in the kitchen by a doctor yeah yeah

some vet was a doctor who showed up it was a doctor at midnight we're in the kitchen like the guys It was like sewing him up. I waited until Iggy's steak came out. I waited. I told the waitress, bring my food first. I ate my food and then everyone else's $100 steaks came out. Yeah.

Jumped on him. And our trainer, Gus, who's recently passed away, dearly departed, we love him. He was so mad because Rhett landed right on his steak and his lobster. He just buried all the food. So bad decisions. We just said that this might jog your guys' memory, I think for Rhett. We just had Curtis Joseph on our

podcast, and he was here for a little bit. And he said something about a rookie party. Yeah. I don't want to tell a story third hand, because I wasn't here, but I would have been here. You guys were wearing, like, I got the impression you guys went on and wore like dead presence mask or something.

No, it was like, Dr. Libre, the wrestling mask. Oh, okay. I got a real much. Yeah, yeah. Makes more sense. Yeah. You guys aren't robbing banks. You guys are acting like that.

Yeah, he said something where Cuth, and I don't want to tell the story to third hand, but he said that, uh, who's the coach? Keenan is here. He's at the time. And Keenan's like,

hey, like when we tell, let you know, play, don't tell Kipper because we know he goes off the rails. Yeah. But, you know, he gets to know Mika a little bit.

And so finds out he's going to play. And so he's like, ah, be a good guy. He's like, hey, like, I'm playing next game. But, like,

I'm not supposed to tell you this. like just take it easy me get some rest he's like yeah yeah for sure and then i think it was wrapped around this rookie party so i don't know what kujo was thinking if the rookie party was involved but anyways it ended up to shorten the story up who kipper went out all night with his mask on his head kujo got on the bus the next day and kipper was sitting like three seats deep like he should be at the back so he's basically sitting right behind where keenan's going to be he's on the bus early. Kujo's like, I don't know, he might have slept on the bus, but his face was all like blistered. He turned out he had like a, he was allergic to latex.

He was allergic to the mask. I guess his face was blistered and he hung over. Cujo's like, I think he said that might have been his last start. There's a backup story. What was the guy's name of Joey McDonnell? Was his Joe McDonald? Donald. Do you on the team when he had like some sort of episode in Colorado. Stagin told us. Yeah. He was on the stretcher was they were walking.

Because he was so fucking out of shape. He got traded in, had not been playing. Started playing here, faced like 45 shots or something against the Appalach. Furn his face. He's like totally gassed. He's on a stretcher getting IVs and octas. The team's like, we got to go. we can't wait for you.

He was puking in the net, apparently, and puking in between periods. And he said to Kipper's like, I don't know if I'm going to make it. Kipper's like, you're fine, you're fine. And then he goes, and then he goes, I'm sitting on the bus, and there he goes on his gurney by.

He's like getting stretched out of there. Kipper called me right away. He's like, I almost killed the partner. And I was like, oh, my God, he was dying laughing. Once he knew he was all right, he was like, Joey was dying. Like he goes, I didn't realize he was so dehydrated and struggled.

so bad but Kippers like you're fine you can play you can play and they had to stretch him out he was like so dehydrated he was like hospitalized. I mean he need IV I've been there oh my god you ever puking the net birdie nope not yet mark the more day I didn't shaking shaker yeah yeah that was his that's how I got started he uh he started puking on the ice going in he said I don't want any stinking water somebody get me a seven up badger Bob's like, who called time out? That was the end of Mark the more, they called me up

and that was done. There was the opening. And the rest is history. I go back into the dressing room and I was up in the press box. I come in and I said, shaky, all right? He says, yeah. Am I right? I just dehydrated and all of this.

I said, maybe too much salt around those margaritas. Yeah. he was old school hey oh yeah he was old school he used to smoke too and oh how many guys smoked when you were playing and during games well not during the game no but like in between period yeah wasn't mario legendary for like having it sneaking a dart at the intermission uh i don't know about mariel okay paul baxter used to smoke theo used to the odd one. In my year, a lot of guys

were chewing tobacco. And they were doing that. Like the ice was disgusting. Right on the ice? Oh my God. It's everywhere. It was terrible. It was like a third jersey by the end of the night.

Yeah, we finally banned smoking in the dressing room. Right in the room. You know, you just like, come on, guys. Like seriously. That's tough. Like, that's the National Hockey League. They go to the bathroom. When you go to the bathroom, you're just like,

you're banded in the dressing room. Well, F you, I'll go down through this hallway here and just light one up. My first ever. You used to light it up and blow it out in the dryer. Wasn't that kind of the trick? It would kind of suck it out, I think. Yeah, you need some sort of a ventilation system. I had a friend of mine did that in the basement.

He had a little workshop, and he used to go smoke some weed. Yeah. The kids and everybody's, and he had the little vent. how is auto doing that's a that's a commitment you got to do that that's a that's a serious commitment yeah my first ever exhibition game i was with the islanders and we're playing the rangers and after the first period i went out to grab a stick or something in the in the hallway sammy st laurent and mark leforst were sitting on on benches smoking and those were the goalies for the other side.

Mark LaForce, like, hey, kid, how you doing? I'm like, hey, how you doing? Like, they're just hacking darts, like, sitting there hacking darts. And, you know, Long Island Coliseum, like, down the corridor. Like, that's, that was my first introduction to pro hockey. Were they allowed to smoke in the ranks? Like,

when you started, I'm guessing there was no fans. You were smoking on the, I'm sure they were smoking on the airplanes. Well, yeah. Airplains, not on the airplane. No. No. Not in the mid-A. You used to get on an Air Canada flight. There was a non-smoking section in a smoking section.

Yeah. But like people, like, how do you even, you're in an airtight situation. It's like, that's the smoking section, that you're in the non-smoking section. It didn't make sense. But in the ranks, too. Like, you're allowed. If you went to Maple Leaf Gardens, like, they were sitting up in the 300s. Probably hacking darts for sure.

Right? Well, Montreal, they used to have a smoking room. And all the big companies used to come in and throw the big cartons of cigarettes in there. and the boys would go in there and grab a couple, take them all. Are they the best hot dogs? Oh, my. Well, go back and, yeah, say Sean. Go back.

Go back was better. Oh, yeah, they were good. Oh, yeah. I was sitting on the bench and Walmer was playing. I go to the stick boy. Yeah, go up and get me a couple hot dogs. Must be rally. Let's get her going.

You know, second period. I'm not going to go in. And I'm sitting on the other side because the bench was so small. And I'm hiding in behind. You're subtle. He's a hot dog and everything. And they're scoring goals on warmer. And I'm gone.

And the stiff boy looks back at me. He goes, I think they want you. Don't look over. I'm going on. Giving them the hot dog. Boys are coming over, banging the glass. And, Bernie, get the hell in a net. I got mustard coming down.

Wow, on the red jersey. Okay, I go out there. We win the game coming after, and the boys are just killing themselves. Big mustard stain on my jersey. I-Def TV, you need it. You're okay. They couldn't pick it up, Clint. That's what they called it was fun.

You know, all the... Hosties, right? Is that what they call them in Montreal? The toasted, it's like almost like... Yeah, the toast is fun. Chien show. After the morning street, we'd have 40 of them delivered to the dressing room. Yeah, they were everywhere.

They're always in the dresser. I got busted with one in my glove in St. Louis. And I remember Joel Quinville. after a second period, he calls me in. My kitchen comes in and goes, hey, Q wants to see you. I'm like, I'm not even playing. I'm like, maybe they want my opinion on the power play or something. And they got a cameraman had shot it for the broadcast.

And I was just kind of eating it in the glove and kind of hanging out. And Q goes, you enjoy it. They show it to me on the video that he's like, you enjoy enjoying your hot dog. I'm like, yeah, it's pretty good. They had a whole box sitting there. They're like, they're unbelievable. Like, he was pretty funny. Like, he didn't care.

He just let it go, but. It was a little bit of a jarring situation. I didn't do it much after. He was always a smart ass on the ice. That's the one thing I loved. Remember in Minnesota, I was playing for the while. He was playing in Calgary. When it was a two-on-one, and I went to push across and I fall.

I just, I fell. And they missed the net. And the TV timeout, we cross, and he goes, sober up in there, you drunk? Well, didn't we see each other at the bar than I before? Yeah, we did. but it was and he's like you step on a beer coaster like those I missed the the camaraderie of I don't know if everything's like nowadays right so guys can't really guys have to be very mindful of what they say because there's so many I mean you know I did the brought the game last night like you can hear everything the guys talk on the bench you can hear and when I'm between the benches I have to be on the mute button so that guys are yelling at each other but nowadays do they yell at each other there is I mean old school guys like Marchehan's funny guy. I think Brad Marchand is a throwback. Like he's, he's great.

Like, the comments and stuff. Like, I think there's a generation now where guys don't say that much because they know everything's cameras and mics, right? Is there a guy on every team that's a favorite? Like, if you're standing between the benches, is there a handful of guys league-wide that are, you enjoy calling the game almost because you know you're going to get some, not that it's going to go live or you're going to talk about it, but it's going to keep you entertained. Yeah, like there's guys on every team where you have a little bit of a relationship with,

especially I call Ottawa games, so I know the guys pretty well. But Crosby's actually pretty funny guy. Like he was in a scrum right in front of me, and guys were like giving him shots. And he's looking at me. He's like, look at this noodles. And I'm like, yeah, I'm watching. You know, I'm watching it. Like, he's pretty funny.

Like, you know, he's subtle. Yes. Very subtle. But, yeah, there's a guy on every team that you, you know, I don't know if kind. would be. I'm trying to think of a flames. Lumberg for sure. Yeah, the Lamborghini. I also think Rasmus Anderson's really funny. I've heard he's really funny.

What do you guys think? What do you think of his stairdown? I love it. The score and stare at. Why not? Yes. Awesome. It's got to score more. Yeah, but personalities in the game. We played with a con. Like, nowadays it's tough. In the media, you want guys to have a personality,

but then we criticize them for stepping outside. Well, remember, you know, back in the day, guys were able to kind of just rip one of their old coaches, like just tear him to shreds. Like a coach that maybe he had somewhere along the line in his career and he really felt hard done by

by that coach and then almost made it like a life's crusade to take down that coach. What's it? What are you talking about? I don't know, Mike. Those sound like great time. I don't know. I'd like to bring it back with that asshole

that's coach fucking jets. You've got a new one. I was open up my mouth and they're in first place. I'm like, fuck up at this shop. Oh, Scotty Arnie? Oh, yeah. I don't know him at all. It's not a lot.

You already buried one coach. Yeah. Terrible. Oh, I had so much else time, call me. It was good. Well, I'm jealous. It didn't work that way for me. I was out of the league for being single.

I like that. I like coaches that had personality. Like, you know, we all love Darrell. Darrell had personality. You know, you just had to know, how he was going to work his business with you. That's really what it was. You couldn't take your personal.

No, that's, but you know what, he would, he would put you in your place, but he was the first guy to defend you to people. Like he was, that's what Darrow was all about.

And I, he had your back. He always had your back. Yeah, he might rip you to shreds. Yeah. But if somebody else tried to? Never.

Yeah. Uh, uh, that's, that's my job. Yeah. He was, he was great. Like, you know, you go into his office.

He'd, you know, rip you apart. you'd walk underneath the door. You didn't even have to open the door to walk out because he'd be this big. But the next day, he would, like, have your back. Like, I just, I always felt Darrow was a guy who understood what,

what needed to be done that day, you know? Do you remember that letter? Yes, from the judge. It's somewhere. You have it still? No, someone in this town has come up to me in a drunken stupor and said, I bought your house. I found the letter.

Oh, my God. So it is out there somewhere. Go knock on the door. I got to go. I don't think they're there anymore. That house, they should have, they should have bulldozed that house and just started over. That was bad. Every time I drive by there, I smile.

I miss that house. First get to know, Kami, we're at first training camp, and he's pissed. He got sent back to the miners. Rightfully so, because he had a great camp. And Jimmy Playfair, I've said this before. or Jimmy Playfair was buddies with Montador, so they kept Monty, even though he didn't play as well in training gap.

Anyway, I still remember waking up. He got sent down and we went to Joey's. We went to Joey's at Chinook. He came and joined us. Yes, and he went sideways. And I'm like kicking the bed. I'm like, dude, you, your plane's leaving in like an hour. Whoops.

Yeah. I missed it. I was pissed off. I wasn't, well, I mean, I was pissed off. I got sent down. but I was pissed off on how they did it. Yeah. I mean,

because I was here all summer, and that doesn't matter. But I put the work in or whatever, and it gets sent down, whatever, I got sent down a million times. But I was pissed because they let me put my gear on. Like,

I think I'm going out for practice. So I have my full gear on. I step on the ice. I think I was one of the, I had to be one of the first guys out there. I wasn't going to be out last. And I'm out there doing a couple laps. Then everybody comes up,

then they call me off. Hey, you got sent down. So I was, I didn't say anything. I was fucking livid. Yeah. And immediately I got on my shitty little phone and I messaged my high school buddy who ran that Joey's, uh, in the office.

What time do you guys open? He's like, what's happening? I go, I'm coming and I want some drinks. He's like, yeah. I'll tell you what. You bring that up. And actually, that's a great indicator of how close that team was because we heard that. Yeah.

And we all were like, oh, we all went for lunch and then dinner and then late night. We all stayed there. Guys were like coming in shifts too. Because you guys had other things to do, right? I'm just getting loaded. And I didn't leave. I think we were two or three shifts. Yeah, there was three different shifts changes to hang out with me, which I did appreciate.

They're all in staffing. Yeah. You meant 30 different. It was like a greeting line for Comey at Joey's. Like guys who are like popping by. It's like a wedding or a funeral. Like Tommy's already here. To do a shop with you, move along.

I'm going to go to a movie, have dinner. Come back later. And Tommy's still there. But he's weekend at Bernie's now. All of a sudden. Bernie Lomax. It was nice. I do remember that.

All right. Best Christmas gift you ever got, Mike? Best Christmas gift? Yeah, like you're a young lad. Hold it. Are we talking? Oh, anytime. Any time, no.

If there's one that stands out, the wife got you, whatever. Well, I was going to say the prank gifts we used to give a Christmas. Team-wise? They were awesome. Yeah, team-wise. And it's a great story.

So I'm out and we're out in Long Island. John Tennelly's on the team in Texas out. We get into it a bit. A bunch of us go back to the hotel, you know, half cut. My roommate's not there, Colin Patterson. This is great. They get up and get up, bam, hit the wall.

Oh, shit, wrong way. You know, different hotels every night. Like, it's crazy. Go over, suit kit, lift it up. go to sit down, patter, grabs my head, takes me, puts me in the toilet. So, call him, Pat. She's got a massive lock for his suitcase. That was a good one.

Yeah, that's tough. Oh, I got probably, you know, a set of gold pads or something like that when I was a young kid. Sounds real memorable. Yeah. I got in television. You remember like before Atari, I think it was Atari and then there was some television. You just spin the wheel with your stuff. And it had like, this is, this is way beyond, you know, people who are very young.

But they're, you know, like this is, this was like the video game. And I swear my parents paid like 400 bucks for it like in the early 80s, late 70s type of thing. Like it was, and it was awesome. That's, we got that as a family like my. You're all bad smuggled that in from the state. Yeah. Something happened that. It fell off a truck or something.

I don't know what happened. But I thought he got that as a family and we played it for hours. Like that was like when video games were first starting. There was Atari and in television. It was unbelievable. I'll never forget that because we live. I as a kid, I used to, we had a house on Canal Road here in Canyon Meadows. Like that's, I lived here for five years.

My family. Yeah. 843 Cannell Road. Really? Yeah, from ages 2 to 1 to 6 here. And then I went to Canyon Meadows Elementary School for grade 1. That's where that education all got. Yeah, and that's as far as I made it.

And then we moved to St. Albert after that. But that's, yeah, I have a long history in Calgary. Now, Canyon Meadows is like almost downtown with how big this city has got. But back then it was like the outskirts. Literally. Yeah. But in television, that's what it was. Colico Vision.

Yeah. Which was shortly thereafter. Where did Commodore 64? That was like the computer thing, whereas these were just the consoles. But yeah, shit, that was a big deal. Big deal. What drink is the, where's that? Keogh.

Where's that list again? Come on it. We're on camera. We'll take a look at the list. We're going to put you on camera. We've had the coffee and Irish cream. This has got to be very. We've gotten through the Caesar, and now this is the Nodo espresso martini.

It's a beautiful, tequila-based espresso. Really? A little bit of extra kick there. Tequila-based espresso liqueer. Wow. Great product. How is it? It's delicious.

You can. You got a good gauge on it. You're doing a great job. I do need to make my eye appointment. No, hey, you leave whenever you want. Oh, no, no, I know. I'm going to sip on this, then I'm going to leave. Okay, this is lovely.

It is good, yeah. Yeah, it's really nice. Keo from Sugar Waters, our bartenders. They big thank you to Kia for me. Yeah. Thanks to everybody watching along. This is all together. I can't see the comments.

Are we, are we doing all right over there? I think everybody's doing all right. I think everybody's doing all right. Saratka. Soroka, yeah. He just signed somewhere, didn't he? He signed with the nation. He signed today?

Yeah. Yeah. Amazing. Because he was at the game last night. And he was texting and posted. What the hell is that call on overtime? I told him we were doing the show today. He said, good luck, have fun.

Yeah. I signed with the Washington nationals today. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. How about that? Where's that background then that I'm seeing on that? That's just the corner behind. That's where the bar is.

That's the bar cam. We also do have our legal advice here, which I think may or may not be savvy. That goodness, they are not in any way affiliated or sponsored. There's no affiliation. But we do have some legal people on hand. Yeah. on site just in case things go sideways yeah but merry christmas to uh you and yours from mcclaude law now noodles has got uh you said you want to get rolling at 1230 so we have to go soon and commie's got

got to get out here too we can do a little set change here getting some video we can do some other stuff but he's got to do his own show from his hotel room but uh do we want to talk about the flames game last night or that's off the table uh who cares nobody cares if anybody wants to do anything tomorrow i'm going to go to the flames game if everybody wants to get after it are you really clock in the afternoon. Oh, yeah. Mat-N-A. Comey. Ashley's really exciting. That's cool. Yeah. A hotel downtown. Really? Big day.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Wow. Yeah. Okay. Anybody's interested. I'll be in the Platinum Club. Who. I think I'm going to go watch football at 10 a.m. It's good games tomorrow. Yeah, SMU, I think. I'm good thing.

Also, you got Houston and KC. Tomorrow and the other Pittsburgh. Oh, is there an NFL game tomorrow, too? Yeah. There's a great slate. Those assholes in the NFL, they just try to take over every day. Four or five. Thursday, Saturday, Sunday. Can you just leave?

Leave the Saturday for the college kids. Yeah, I think it's bad. It's betting. Hey, everybody wants to know. Field goal last night. Like the Denver game. What?

And, okay. So what the fuck out in there? Did I, I heard about this. It's super rare. Did he kick, catch his own punch? Was that what it was? A free kick.

So he dropped and kicked it? Or what he did? No, it was. He was on a speed. And it went through the, I don't really know. I didn't see any. And the guy, the guy got hit,

the drop the ball, whatever, zero time on the clock, but there's a penalty, you can't finish. And then they put up a field goal, but they just, the guy held it and he kicked it. 57 yards. I'm like, what is going on?

I've never seen that before. Jack, find it. It was a trade. Like during the play, they dropped and then decided to kick the field goal. Then there was a penalty, zero, zero time on the clock. Yeah. So you can't end with the penalty. Right.

So they go, they said, well, we're going to just kick a field goal. But they didn't hop it where the guy catches it and puts it down. He just holds it there and the guy kicked the field goal. Oh, so it's like a free play. He gave me a free play. What the heck is this? I don't know. I've no clue.

I'm just glad it's not a sports show. This is a drinking show because this would be embarrassing. I'm going to research this in the next 90 minutes because I guarantee I'll be talking about it on my show. Harvey dropout. I, we do. I like, I like the NFL. But I, I'm more of a spectator sport. Like, I just, I kind of, I'm not into it.

I'm not, like, no, we've got analysts for that. Like, we've got. Luke is unbelievable. But he knows, like, you know, all the reads and everything. Like, I, I just watch it. And, like, you know, I, for some reason, like, I like the New England Patriots. Oh, Jesus Christ. I like the old team, though, that you should.

to cheat. Like, I like the, like, like, like the city. It's a city now. Yeah, well, see, Casey. I feel like Casey, though, I'm over it because I feel like they get the calls. Like, they get a lot of calls. And then the Taylor, every time you're watching the game, it's like, oh, there's Taylor Swift.

Great again. Okay, like, let's move on. Let's move on here. My son, out of nowhere, his favorite team, Justin Herbert is his favorite player. I'm like, Chargers, let's go. Chargers, really? Josh, Alan? I have. I had to buy him a Justin

Herbert jersey. I had to get the shoveler Josh Allen. I'm like the Chargers. I'm like, where did you even? He doesn't watch TV and he's like, I want a Chargers jersey. I'm like, that's the best uniformer pro sports, the powder blues. Don't find it. I had to get it off

NFL.com or whatever. They're pro shop. They had to send it to me. You live an hour from Buffalo. I know. I like Josh Allen. I like the bills, but I just you can't force your kid to go, you to like that. Well, I think that this is the problem with the new era

parent is that you allow the kid to have too much info. You got to straighten that kid out now. All right, I'll take him out back of the woodshed and tune him up. No. It's fine. He doesn't have to you know, he doesn't have to cheer for the Leafs because we live in Toronto. It doesn't have to cheer for the bills.

He doesn't have to cheer for the Raptors. I do like that he likes the Argos though. Oh. Gone to few Argos games, which he doesn't mind. There we go. See the Argos. So what's when you're, because you're doing a sports show in Toronto,

you got to cover more than just hockey or whatever. What's the one thing where you're like, oh, I can't believe who's coming on next segment? What are we talking about? Like, what's the one thing where you're like? And the Raptors lost in Sacramento. Well, Raptors is tough right now because they're in,

you know, we'll call it a retool rebuild or a full rebuild. But, you know, Scotty Barnes. some good young players, Grady Dick. But I, I, golf is tough for me because I don't golf. Everybody else golfs. But I don't golf.

I like everything that comes with golf. Sitting in the cart, on your phone, drinking, talking to people. Nice weather. Well, no, the mosquitoes and stuff, I can pass on that stuff, too. To not put the sun and the butts and all of that. But I don't mind. Like, I walked, I went with Pronger to Scotland. And he was, what was it, turn bear?

one of these like uh... I walked with them. I wasn't going to golf. I'm not going to waste, you know, everybody's time. But we drank and had a good time and yucked it up and then.

So you went? Did you just walk around? Walk around? Well, I mean, I didn't carry a bag or anything. It is a beautiful. It was very windy and like it was a bit cold

and then some locals tried to fight us. It was a, it was a gong show. On the courts? No, not on the, like later that night at the hotel. This guy,

loves golf more than anything else in life. It's incredible. You want to see Comey's eyes light up? Like you literally just talked about a course in Scotland. He's oh, I know it's true. Yeah, and the night T-box. I am thinking of going to waste management in February, but not to watch golf. I was meant to ask you. Yeah, you got to come for knuckleback, no? Why, I might go just for the night, though, or maybe...

There's a watch down there, too. That's the thing. Stettledos. Great viewing. It's a great feeling. But yeah, golf is not my strength. Golf is not a strength that I can talk to. But I will say, we do the Canadian Open our show,

and it's awesome because a lot of the Canadians come through, Mack Hughes and them, they're awesome people. So I cheer for, like, I actually, like, cheer for, like, the Canadian golfers. They're amazing people. And Canada's now on the golfing stage. Like, they're not just, you know, like, Mike Weir comes around, which is awesome.

He's a legend. But now, like, you've got the, Oh, yeah, Jamie, Jesus Christ. I didn't want to get this deep into it. I was just looking out. You're not doing your show. You're right. Just say golf.

It's easy. Yeah. Golf is tough for me to talk about. That's what I'm saying. Tews Penderth off the T with a great distance with the short game. Ladies and everybody. Yeah. I appreciate it.

Things are a little lazy. Thank you for having. I appreciate you, buddy. Merry Christmas. See, I just asked about the lazy eye. Just tell me. Yeah, yeah. I was at the barn burner.

I'll be checking in with you guys later. How long is this show going for? We don't know. It's kind of like when you. when you got sent down. We'll see. Swing on by. We got enough here to sing a battleship, so come back when you're done. There you go, Mike Kamenar.

Let's take another look at the roster of drinks as we are working our way through, finishing up the martini. So is it this spritzer? Is that what's on the way? The holiday lemon cello spritz, I believe, is next. I saw him doing some of the... He was shaking. Shaky, shaky back there.

Kea was moving and shaking back there. Now, this is actually a listener request. Tara, who brought us this delicious Christmas bark, which is phenomenal. I'll grab some bark folks. She also sent in the recipe and said, this has got to make the show. Kea's delivering, apparently.

Well, I want some Christmas bark. Yeah. Before I go, I'm taking a big handful of it. Yeah, cookies too. Having it all. Where are you going, Vernie, out to the lake? Yeah. Bernie's busy.

He's a busy guy. Lots on the goal, right? Pender's out there, too. I'll see him out of the... I'll be there. You bring your skates? Probably. I got a goalie.

I know. The last thing you want to do is play goal. Like... Hey, he's made his mind up. Well, you got one, two noodles. How old are you guys? Six or seven? My son's seven.

He plays goal right now. How much you told me about Goliaco? Ghost League. Oh, is he? Does he like it? He loves it. Yeah, see, that's a great year last year. Yeah.

When he was younger, I wouldn't, I said, no, you don't want to be whole. Yeah. Like, my son, he loved it, and then he got a shot on the knee, and he wanted to quit and practice. I'm like, that's what you signed up for, bud. So he stuck it out. We'll see how if he does, like. You guys sign in some petitions to get other kids banned from playing?

No, I'm not like Carlo there. I lost the tournament. We lost the tournament. One of the parents comes over and says that the goalie's pads are too big. We've signed a petition. I'm like, are you insane? They're seven years old.

And I'm like, they're like, yeah, no, all the parents have gotten together and complain to the league that that goalie's too good and his pads are too big. I'm like he's seven. Like,

just let him be seven. Ridiculous. At least it's not too serious there in the GTA for hockey, hey? I saw Jason Gregor on Twitter, the other day he retweeted something. It was like the U8 might elite scoring.

Yeah. What are we doing? Come on. What am I enjoy the game. My son's in U8, a select team on the U8. But Mike Kamalares is coach and Kammy's unbelievable. Camelaries is coach. What are we doing?

No, Cammy's got a son. He's around. He should be coached. Cammy's got a son on the team. And he's unbelievable because he's like Christmas, everybody's off. We're going on vacation. Like it's, it's not like, hey, we need to practice, you know, six days a week and all of that. Like, they're very intense.

You don't have any league games during that time? No, shut down. Like, we, they've got a little Christmas break there. That's it. Like. So your kids in Jacksonville. Yeah. Christmas off or what's their schedule? Oh, no. Like it's come home? Not a game.

Or you don't go down there? No. Three days. Three days. That's it. They watch it on like the. They play three games. three nights most times. You travel

six hours, eight hours in between. Yeah. Like it's goofy that travel schedule there. That's the love of the game. Who's coaching? I don't know who their coach is. What? No idea. What the hell you're talking about? You don't know. Doug Brown's son is on the team.

Which Doug Brown? I feel like there's a few. The guy that played in Detroit? Okay. Right-handed shot. Yeah. Red-headed. Red-headed. I remember. All right, I got to go to work. Hey, thanks, buddy. This is, this is work technically, but you're the man.

You're getting paid for this? No. No, I just show up here. No. He's got a real job next. I get free cove. Free cove. He brought it.

We didn't know what cove was until noodles came around bragging of that. And then all of a sudden, like they've showed up, right? Like cases sent to us. Apparently, there's some connection. Some people in Nova Scotia know you and know the show and we got it all arrived at the door. Amazing. COVID is like the best soda. It's supposed to be good for you.

Well, a nutritionist was like, if you, like I like pop, you're going to drink pop, drink Cove. That's what they said. I used to water down my Coke. Oh, yeah, put a little water in it. Yes, press. Press. A press.

It's a press. It's all good. It worked. All right. I got to go. Hey, thanks. Do you just want to do the show from this seat? Because we could probably wire, you know, we'll get a lot of fire you.

I'm yelling and screaming. Yeah. all the hell would make loose in the background. No, it would be good there. It would be good. Those two donkeys in between you? Good lighting, good microphone, all of that. No drugs around.

Imagine how good the show would be if you did it? Do three hours a day. No wonder you'd do it in your room. They do it in studio everywhere. The best thing about COVID was people got to do remote work, but it's also the worst thing about COVID because they can get a hold of you anytime they want. Can't hide.

Right? you can't go, hey, I'm traveling. Like, you got to work, which I don't mind. You know, today will be a good show. All hell's breaking list. Looks like Matt Murray's going to play goal for this one of late. Yes. You're just talking about that.

930 with the Marley's apparently been really good. I know, but where's Joseph Wool? He just played very well against Dallas the other night. This handsome fella. And my pipe. You know, and then all of a sudden he's not playing tonight. So I don't. Is he hurt?

Lars is hurt. So you need a guy, right? Polars is hurt, but Joseph Wall is their guy. Are either of these guys worth their weight in gold? Like, are they going to... I like Wool's a player. I think Wool's got good skill.

Stolars is a lot because it's a great story. He's a 6'4-6 goalie who's kind of grown into his body. Like, he's a good goal. But it just, Stolars is injured. Woll not available tonight? I don't know. All of a sudden, Matt Murray's playing that. So that'll be the hot top of thing.

That was Pinder and I were yelling at each other earlier this week, because Lidar was faking. I told me a good goal. He's like, Donald doesn't be crazy. Well, yeah, Chief there is,

yeah, Chief there's no nonsense there, right? So he's, but yeah, like, he's done a good job with that group.

You know, they can tell they're kind of. Yeah, they're tight defensively. But Tree did a, tree brought in, they got a top four there now that, that is legit,

right? With Tanev and Oliver Ekman-Larsson. You throw that with Riley and McCabe in there. They're solid, right? The Genoa guy, they brought from Anaheim. He's been...

Genoa's a nice player. Like, he's kind of their solid five, and then they have a rotating six, the Timmins, and they brought in that monster from Dalla, Hackenpa. Hocken Pah.

Yon. Yon Housin. Size of that guy over there. Just a monster. Any huge house? How tall are you? 6.8. My God, no, he's...

Hocken Paz. I've never asked him. I want to know. He was close, so he's 6-7. Yeah. But... Hocken paws huge. Yeah, he is.

he seems like it'll be a good player for them it may be more like an addition at the deadline type of thing you guys stay healthy that's his thing right you're going to say healthy is tonight tonight you buy Warner all that cheese toast or is that to be determined to be determined because Nashville went in and beat the Rangers the other day

and I thought they didn't win last night they lost it overtime they got a point oh so I'm telling you I have a bet at Caesar's cheese toast oh yeah you can come but that Nashville make the play It doesn't look very good right now.

It's not looking good. No, they're struggling right now. But anyways, I gotta go. Love you, noodles. No, thanks, buddy. Appreciate it. Very Christmas. Very Christmas.

Get a Christmas gift. Yes. Give them a four pack of the burner. It's a good. Parting gift. You want to spend it? It's nice. A little Christmas tune there, Jack.

You know, with AI, you never know what's coming. You don't know what's real. You don't know what's fake. I mean, I'm a sucker. for the for Christmas Christmas music. Aren't we all? I'll let you pick Jack.

Let's take a listen to a quick little holiday edition here. I really can't stay. Move bitch, get out the way. I've got to go away. Move bitch, get out the way. This evening has been. Get the fuck by.

So very nice. I have been drinking so guard your grill. I ought to say no, no, no. Here I come. Here I go. At least I'm going to say that I try. Get the fuck out of my way. I really can't stay.

Bye-bye. Move bitch, get out the way. Move bitch, get out the way. Ah, that's nice. Heartwarming. It's the season. It's the season. It's great to see those crossover hits, you know.

Different genres, ludicrous working with some caruners. Maybe it's cold outside. You know, Bernie, even the regular, that baby, it's cold outside, it's getting canceled because they're saying, chick's trying to leave. Yeah. Dude's trying to fill her up with booze. And then you feel like, I really can't stay. Baby, it's cold outside. Hey.

Have you seen the weather out there? Maybe just, you know, one more drinks. No, it's over by the fire. Snuggle up. Yeah, that's right. Society. Society's too. Do you have more?

I can't we have two quitters. Yeah, I know. One guy had to work. The other guy is faking. I mean, what is it, an eye appointment? Yeah. Get that done. His eyes fine.

We got guys for eyes. Your guy. Send him the booms guy. Yeah. Send him my guy. It's going gray. There's peep, pew, poo, poo.

Poor Bernie doesn't know that story. You want to give them the 30 seconds? No, it's not even. Yeah. You get an eyes check. Every two months for the next three years, you had to go back and get more lasers. Pew, pew, poo.

Oh, Jesus. Can you fix it? Yeah, it's not really working. I'll get you back in here. More lasers? Yeah, more lasers. Great. This is really,

awesome. Now we wear sunglasses. Get headaches from the sun. Yeah, it looks like you've got too many lasers. Have you been looking at late? Yeah, you've been calling me. You're too much. More laser.

Yeah, that's great. It's fantastic. You should get them a laser for Christmas. No, I'm good. Oh, you'd be to you. Eventually, it's going to come around. I'm real good. I'm fine.

You got any good shit your pants stories, Vernie? Ooh. Wow, that's a, maybe. That's a hard yes. Yeah, I'm in Minnesota one night, and we're playing the Minnesota North Stars at the time. And I start cramping up.

Jesus. Like, what the heck is going on here? And I go down and I go, I'm going to hell's wrong with you, Bernie. I don't know. I'm cramping up. When Bearcat comes up, what's going on? I'm cramping up.

I don't know what the heck's going on. Okay, I'll help you off the ice. Get off the ice. And the old stadium, they had these big stairs. I start sprinting up the stairs. And I had to go to the bathroom. I come back and Reggie let a goal in for Christ's sake. But we won the game, but, yeah.

It's a real problem. Bit of a shitty, shitty timing. The issue is, do you sprint? It's, you got to get this fast. Yeah.

Yeah, is it short strides? You got compact there and just some shorter strides. You know, kind of shimmy. You start taking long strides. Christ's sake, it's spilling already.

Yeah, it's not good. But it's a real thing. You must have some good ones. I did, Reggie, the funny one. We were playing San Jose

in the 04 semifinals in game one. And we were down a few defensemen already, hence Brennan Evans. And Mike Commodore. And Colorado, yeah. Anyway, first shift. I'm starting, right? Because you're the man. Pretty high end.

Of course. Yeah. And, you know, he got some nerves in you. And I came to the bench and thought I'd squeeze one out, just kind of, and things erupted. I had to finish the period. That was one shift. How many seconds until you were outed? I came in in between periods and had to,

I disrobed and was in the shower. And Reggie, his concern, we've lost another defenseman. He's like, what the what's wrong with you? No, no, no, no. I shired it. I'm good.

Poor gossip. They had to deal with your gear. Any go, the guy's dropping like flies. Oh, war. It's out. Jesus. Another.

me what if you're on the road you only got so much gear guys are shitting themselves at least you're at home you got say you're gonna cross the whole ice and i'm like i'll i'll play it period i'm good let's go jeez yeah good times quality times when's a lot i mean when's the last time you shit yourself it's recent no it was when i was going golf and we were still at the old studio downtown. Yeah. Yeah.

I know it seems weird, Bernie, to bring it up, but it's one of the few things that guys, all guys can really bond over. Every year he drinks. We've all done it.

And I feel like it's going to be that age, too, where I might have to. That's great. I start wearing those things. The bench. You just want to be safe. Yeah,

it's more of a safety issue than a necessity. Yeah. Yeah. It's just, it's convenient. What Christmas traditions, Verny?

What do you? Oh, steering it away. Yeah, just family get-togethers, dinners, all that sort of stuff. How's the gang. Dom's good. I invited him over today. And he was sitting at the restaurant. But, yeah, we got a Carl party about 6 o'clock.

And then I got another party at 8 o'clock. It just never ends. It doesn't sound like you. It's the life of a Hall of Famer. Yes. Richly deserved, by the way. Ladies and gentlemen, and I dropped the rum and eggnog off at the office today.

So, wait, it was good. Real eggnog? No, I didn't have time to make the real stuff. We got shipmog. I used to do that. It was awesome. Well, that's the problem is that half of this stuff is horseshit. Yeah.

About half, three quarters or more. Well, I got the light stuff, too. Ugh. So what I was saying you just put more rum in. That's how you cut it. Yeah, you just dilated with more rum. Yeah. It'll work itself.

Now, I know you'd be bashful about it or whatever, but from the time your career ends to the time that you go into the hockey Hall of Fame, that's a long time. That's a lifetime. I mean, what was in your head? Did you think after a certain point? It's like, I guess I'm not going. Sorry, sir.

I want to step on you a little bit. Did you? A little bit. Well, I had a hockey career, but in no, I thought I was going to make the Olympics one year. Maybe misguided. But there wasn't a lot of, I'm going to make the hockey Hall of Fame choices and thoughts and desires. Did you just play?

And did you consider that? Were you working towards it? Or is it a, yeah. I just played Stanley Cup or whatever. I want to play. All that was the goals. But once you retire, they say, well, you're up for the Hall of Fame after, what, three years? Yeah.

Once you retire, it's just a year waiting for, yeah. And I lost to, well, that year I was whatever, nominator or whatever, number 17, the Russian, the Kaminsky never played a game in the National Hockey League. Valerie Kaczynski? Cam Neely, played, great player, played eight years. I was scared of him. Eight years in the league, like, never won. I'm like, holy, jeesh, I'm up against these guys.

And I, well, I don't know. I don't feel pretty good. I got a couple of cups, maybe. I don't know. I got kibosh, but anyway, that's, that's fine. I just, but it doesn't really enter your mind. I don't, you know, I had a good career. I'm proud of it.

Yeah. You know, it's great to get that acknowledgement and everything and being in the whole. I'm very proud of that. And, you know, when I got that call from Lanny, I was like, whole shit. I was blown away. So.

Because you get to that point where it's like, well, that guy's younger than me. and he's in the Hall of Fame. You know, now they're on to the next after 15 years or whatever, yeah. Well, I think a lot of it, too, they used to have a lot of the media do the voting. And I think now they're starting to get more

hockey players in there. Like they understand the game and aren't idiots like us. Yeah, so they're starting to get more hockey player influence in there and things like that. But I mean, there's a lot of guys that should be in the Hall of Fame. And it just, it's timing. right look at they put three goalies in the year i came

we should have had this conversation when noodles was here because he gets all not wound up but he's like everyone gets mad that there's a five million dollar goaltender that's performing below average but there'll be a five million dollar Coleman he's not performing to standard and no one's bent out of shape about it's the position right yeah well why like why are you noodles this thing is your goaltenders your most important piece. You should be putting more in time, effort, thought, money, whatever into these guys.

F, the third line left winger. Why don't you cut back his pay, pay him to a million because you don't know where you're going to get out of that guy either. Yeah, wow. What's more important? I think a lot of people know that the goaltending position is the most important. I do. And you build it up the middle, you know, your defense and your center. the winger I can turn anybody into a winger like come on really they float up and down the side

their biggest job is in their own end is get the puck out maybe block the odd shot you know and he's right seriously so maybe they drift around like like brad hall is a great player scored a lot of goals yeah he just floated around and he found the seam and they gave it to him oz he gave it he didn't he couldn't score it he didn't score in a 99. Well, he didn't, you know, the NHL called that one. That's true. That's how you build a team is up the middle of the ice and go from there.

Just to get back to the Hall of Fame stuff real quick. And this is getting very sports. I'm sorry, boom. No, that's good. But goalies have been traditionally very underrepresented in the Hall of Fame. And when Reggie Lemelin got in, that's when I was like, fuck, Bernie could get in. Because he'd waited, how many years, 25 years? Who?

Reggie Lemelin. Rogi Vashon. Vashon. No, Roguyen. Yeah, I know. Rogatine. Yes. When Roguer T got in there.

So, is he in the Hall of Fame? Yeah, no. So when Rogi Vashon got in, I was like, okay, things have changed. There's clearly, like, they're making up for errors in the last 20, 30 years. There's got to be more goalies in. Sorry. Very nerdy. Yeah, it's, uh, maybe there will be.

I, I, you don't know. There's just, you know, now we have the builders. And like, it's getting bigger and bigger and bigger. And it's hard to fill that two-hour time slot with 20 guys on the stage, given their speeches or something. But it's, you know. I just think it will come around. I mean, look at Curtis Joseph.

I know he never one. Look at his numbers, though. He's a great guy, great goaltender. I think he'll get in. He's going to get in. I think he'll get in. He should get in. He should get it.

Yeah. So, I mean, there's, you know, Dino Cicorelli got it. I played with Chico in Florida. Chico. Oh, my God. Yeah, but you know what? People almost, Dave Ander Chuck and Dino Cicerelli and Ray Shepherd are all guys where I'm like, these guys were unbelievable.

They scored and they scored and they worked and they scored from two feet out front. And every goal. And I remember playing with Chico. he was the first guy that was like gave us i couldn't shoot anyway but he was he would get mad at you for not shooting at heart at the end of practice he'd stand in front of tip bucks oh yeah and if you didn't shoot it hard he'd be like well what what the f am i out here for if you're not gonna if you're not like i might as well go in because and he would touch everything same with chef same with ander chuck it was an art form these guys had yeah yeah yeah not a really you know you know i'm not

600 goals. Dino Cicerelli, first guy that brought seven-minute abs to the NHL. I can remember, he goes, fellas, I bought that tape. I did the seven-minute abs all summer. He was looking good. Unbelievable.

Unbelievable. Bernie, one question from the audience. Cammy, who does post games for us and works for the WHL. You guys did the tour of the USSR? Too. After 89? you went over to Russia and played to USSR. Is that right? 89, yeah. We did that friendship tour.

So tell us about that. Because I've heard your team has talked a ton of a lot of things. I haven't heard anything of what the hell happened in that Russia tour. Like, what was that like? You're going to the USSR, the big bad, you know, cold war era of shit. Yeah. So Washington Capitals and us are going over for this bit of a tour over there. And yeah, we go over.

And it was great. It was in September at training camp just before that. the season and stuff like that. And we, I took my father with me and we all had parents with us and family members and things like that. And it was, it was great.

And then Macaroff and Sergey Pryakin came back with us. And they joined our team. This is the worst story ever. Well, tell us what the F happened in Russia. I think is what the hell he's talking about. It was a nice trip and I had my papa. Like,

I want some kids. What's the shit happening? Were you scared? Did they inject you with anything? Like what happened? You're at the real reporter now. He gets to the hard hidden questions. That's digging now.

That's easy. I was in Russia in the 80s for the World Junior Championship with Mario Lemieux Steve Eiserman. That was scary. Okay, tell us. We were coming in off out of Finland on a train. They had to change the track. Stolic 13.

It looked like all the guard towers. I was looking at the window one. time at a station, tap a machine gun right on the... Oh, Jesus. Right there. Tap, tap. I'm like, what the fuck am I doing here? Like, what is going on?

We get into... Where did we get into? I think it was Leningrad. Leningrad. And then... Leningrad is not a city anymore, is it? They changed and they? Yeah, St. Pete's now.

But then it was Lennon. You went to Leningrad. You went to Leningrad. Not St. Pete. They stole our equipment for three days. They did shit like this to us all the time. There was lineups four blocks along. for gasoline. It was just brutal.

And it was in December and it was awful. And the food was terrible. This is better. There was a liquor store right beside our hotel between the restaurant and a hotel. And we used to go in there and we get Colesburg beer in blue cans. And so no refrigeration there. Open the window. We'll put them on the left.

It's December in Russia. Yeah. They're going to get chilly. So we put them out and go down for the game. we're all standing around the bus we need to get on coaches everybody look up at the hotel 7th floor

blue cans right across the whole god damn what in the oh yeah it was great so a couple other teams were staying there so you know we started to meet a few of the other guys and things like that so that was good fun

that was Cammy's yeah I wanted to know about that because I've seen the video that you guys made the flames had a a nice home cam quarter that was taken with on the trip. I remember seeing there was some random guy smoking outside that you guys dubbed Russian Jamie McHowan. I don't know who had that camera. A camera.

Was it a Polaroid? Yeah, from the 80s. Came back to the 80s. But it was a great trip. You know, Dick Hunter, Mark Hunter and Dale Hunter's father was on the trip. Oh, my God, was it funny? He was so entertaining. And I don't want to go on any of those damn tours.

I want to hang with you guys and go to practice. After he tap a bunch of us on the show, down the street, there's a bar down there. I'm grabbing your dad and I'm taking them down. So we had a lot of laughs. Did you have to have security and shit? Like, you want to me? No, not really. I guess no one was getting into Russia.

They weren't overly worried about it probably. Yeah, like back then, everything was fine. Yeah. Well, what they did have was flames going around the airport accusing random people at being KGB and, like, chances are. Wow. And I was like Pepper would do that, but there's 30 of us, so people aren't going to do too much. This was flames or this was World Junior. What flames that?

Junior in the 80s. In 89, it was the friendship to it. Jimmy the Collins and asshole. Oh, geez. What's going on? Brokedale Howard Chuck's ribs, cost the Jets, the series. Fuck that guy. Oh, Dean, I'm sorry.

I think Jamie's the funniest man alive because I think the last time I interviewed him, it was after. So obviously, people had really wonderful touching stories to share about him and how great he was on the ice. And I asked Jamie about it. He's like, every time at the corral, he jumped over the boards. He forgot the boards were too high and he'd ball. Jamie. Anything else you got to say about him? Oh, McCallon.

Oh, boy. I got a lot to say about it. in 86 overtime goal Montreal in our own building we lose scudlin scores Montreal Canadians win the cup

yeah we go to the video like where are the defensemen they drop the puck they come down two on one where the hell is Cooner Cooner was at the far blue line he's going for it he was going for look what are you doing like a you're an idiot if you watch that video

you will see that play and you'll go by the video holy shit what is mccowan doing we we called him crazy legs because he could skate he can fly and he was he was a great player and shoot the fucking all do all that stuff but man he was he's a bit dense he had a loose screw there's no doubt him and i missed a parade well that's here we didn't we they had a parade for us but we didn't win so why are we going

And I get on a winning team, they do up a parade. And it was like, oh, Jamie McCowan and Mike Vernon, they couldn't be here for personal reasons. I phone up Cooner. I go, what do you doing? I'm just jumping on my bike. What do you do? I'm just at home. Okay, I'll come over.

Let's have some beers. He's driving around in his motorbike. You guys were together in Detroit, right? No. He didn't cross on. God came in after. Was that your best year? When you, Ozgood was supposed to be the starter, you took his job.

you guys win the cup you were named con smith is that the best season you had uh maybe the one you're most probably i didn't see this season because i didn't play a lot of it but i knew i was playing that was the scottie scottie bowman said to me you know you're going to be my guy at the end of february he said you're going to be my guy i go what are you talking about he said you're my guy you're playing you and terry car so you you're well rested you're a playoff guy you're going to start playing more games. And then I started playing more games and just ramping up for the playoff run. So that was, that was, I, I'd love playoffs.

The regular season's too long. And I'm not a big guy and I, you know, I was playing 62 games a year. Like, that's too much. Can guys do that now? Or should they do it now? Well, they're, they're trained better. They're fed better. They got more rest days.

We used to go on two-week road trips where, you know. Commercial. Yeah, in commercial. I think that's better, though, because you went out. Well, it's better for the team bonding, right? But I just, I think the goalies can play more now. I, you know, they can play that. Because everyone has this, well, we've got to monitor the games.

It's that FN NBA bullshit where load management. Yeah, wow. Fans are getting pissed off of that one. That's it. Back to back. and you're not playing the stars and these fans have forked out 500 bucks for a ticket, that's not

right either. No. So I think there's, I don't know, union will get together, they'll discuss it and they'll go forward. A lot of brilliance there. At least there's no booze in this egg dog drink. Yeah, that's nice. Let's catch up on one. Yeah, that's real nice. Thank you.

So you leave Calgary and go to Detroit. Is that just as a free agent you sign there? How did that work? No, I got trade. Did you get traded? Yeah, it was the work. Scotty Bowman calls me up and he says, Mike, I traded for you today or I traded for you. And I said, oh, great, excellent.

I went to Detroit. I'm like, yes, they got a good team. And then he goes, Mike, it's the weirdest trade I've ever done in my life. And I go, what are you talking about? Well, Doug Rice was a general manager. And I traded for you three weeks ago. but he didn't want me to announce anything until now you said i've never heard of that before

so i don't know why you asked riser why he did that i have no idea really you still don't know still don't know yeah i won't ask riser i don't care i was just glad to move on and get away from rise bro oh yeah it's kind of how it was you had a couple nasty negotiations with him He kind of tore our team apart, right? You think? Fighting over $100,000 with Doug Gilmard. And then he kept saying, well, I know the price tag for you players

and you guys are all out of the line. And it's like, pardon? And guys went to other teams and had for another 10 years of play. Yeah, it wasn't a one-off. Guter, Gilmore, New and I think for young Flames fans, they don't appreciate if they hear. well, Doug Gilmore, he was on the cup winning team and then he left. He was still entering his prime.

It's not like he was at the end of that. All those guys were right in the best years of their career. Yeah, young fans will see like Cachuk and Goddrault departures and that's tough. Like you had four or five Hall of Famers that left in. Well, he did that he winning a cup. He did that nine for 10 trade, right? Oh, the Toronto was successful. And got rid of Natress and got rid of McCowan.

And like all of a sudden. the Toronto Maple Leafs became a team, right? Oh, it was Mary Lehman. Oh, my God. Like, that was, that almost devastated this franchise. Yeah. Because they were bad for seven years. Yeah, they had to bring me in to save it.

Yeah. And bring Daryl in and then they needed one more piece of the puzzle and they grabbed Kippersoff. And he took them to the promised land. Me too. A goalie, go figure. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm looking at your team here.

This is, we've talked. about this. It's a few Hall of Famers. It's crazy. Paul Coffee. Dino Cicerelli. Steve Eiserman. Nick Lidstrom. Is Slava Fatesoff in the Hall of Fame? Yes. Yep. I mean, that might be

it. But then... No, when we won. No, yeah. This was your first year. And then it just gets better. It just keeps getting better from there. On that team, did we count 10? Shanahan, Eisenman, Federov, Lidstrom, Larry Onov, Petisov. It's just, I mean, Larry Murphy on that team.

And a Hall of Fame named Mike Burnham is also on that team. Larry Murphy was interesting because he was getting booed out of Toronto. I know. We picked him up for nothing. Total scrapping. How does that happen? And he was great. Again, it wasn't a one-year thing.

He came in. He played for like three years. Yes. He was one of the best first passers in the game. They said he couldn't escape. He didn't need to. When you watch video, he was in the, he was in between the hash marks looking for a cookie half the time. Yeah, couldn't play in Toronto.

Couldn't play in Toronto. Went to Detroit, won two cups, played five more seasons. I believe. Casual. In addition to the two cups he won in Pittsburgh earlier. Oh, yeah. But Scotty, when Scottie Bowman builds his team, he always, likes the veterans.

Yes, he likes the young guys, but he doesn't have the patience to groom them and get them going. But he loved, and you look at, he picked up Haschick after me. He picked up, you look at, you picked up Jamie McCown, he kept, you picked up

cellios on defense, all these veteran people. 40-year-old cellars. He picked Luke Wobatai, Brett Hall. He keeps adding these little pieces and veteran guys. And that's what he did. And the nucleus of the franchise was solid with Eisenman, Federoff, Draper, McCarty, Nicolidstrom, Konstantinoff was one of unbelievable defensemen.

He was, I saw him hit, what's his name, Eric Lindros. And Eric Lindros just like you could see him giving up. Melt it. Because, and Connie was only, like he's not 185 pounds, but he would, he'd run you. It was awesome. He was a great player. We're going to put something on that screen.

And I feel it's like you get tired of answering all these same questions, and especially because you just went through the Hall of Fame thing, everybody's going to ask you all these things. But I'll get Jack to play it here. And I just want you to kind of go ahead, Jack, roll it because we're on a bit of a delay on the screen. But by the time it shows up, I'm just curious what's going through your mind. Oh, my God, when you see this come up on the screen for.

Well, that's Adam Flut. I grab one to his arm and he was starting to laugh. And then Shanahan grabbed him. And then Patrick kind of jumped me from behind. We squared off. And I just, I don't know, my brother was a fighter. So, uh, and he was a little guy. And he always said, if you ever get in a fight, just keep throwing him.

So I just tried to throw him. I was getting so fatigued. I said, I got to take him down. And that was it. I've never been so fatigued in my life. Gear, man. That's tough. But did you feel mad with power afterwards? Oh, I went to the locker.

We have stools, and I was just hanging there. I just, and Ozzy comes in. He goes, Vernie, you've got to go. I left the crease. I got in a fight. I have to be kicked out. Have to be. No, you're going to go back out. Are you kidding?

So I get dressed and I step onto the ice and the crowd goes nuts. Why? And it was like, I'm like, holy shit. That was pretty good. And that was, we came back and won that game, and that was my 300 victory that game. So quite memorable. I mean, correct choice to keep you in.

Like, it's the best punishment for a tired goalie who's just been in a fight and the fans are fired up. And that kind of switched a bit. And then, was that playoffs? The fans started, no, it wasn't. That was regular season. and then that was the part two after lemieux got draper right this was the paper that that happened yeah so did you have anything like something's going to happen tonight

you're going to get your pound of flesh on clode lemieux but did you have any thought that you might get involved oh i had none whatsoever but you know Patrick's a a bit of a loose cannon so you never know what he's going to end up doing but you know he leads the crease i got to leave the So that's how it goes. Was this, if we got a drink here? We got another drink. Also, RJ, you can turn down his mic. He's gone for a second.

Yeah. That Rich has got to go through the thing. See you guy about it. That's, what do we got here? Keogh, uh, let's throw up the old drink list. You can, uh, holler out us here. Cause we're about halfway home here. Yeah, we got to get his mic, Mike out barge.

There we. Yeah, there we go. Yeah, we good. Okay. Okay. Uh, we got the love to leave Kaylee here from beverage collective. She's a nice little chita peanut butter and tequila shot. A new official peanut bar tequila blondies. Just had the launch over there recently. So yeah, and someone's told me, Mike Verne needs a shot at tequila.

I think that was Mandeep. But I don't know if Vern was drinking. Yeah, no, no. Okay, right on. You just let me know anything. Like a protein situation. I'll be there. Gotcha, gotcha.

All right, well. We got the margarita came with. Oh, sorry, that was Pike. That's right. Before you drink, boom, I actually have a Christmas present for you. Okay, yeah. This is good. A new pair of sunglasses.

Oh, wow. Look at this. And honestly, is there something that fits better today than this? Look this. He's on bad eyes. Let's go. Yeah. Feeling it.

That's all right. Don't feel bad. We're doing the best we can with the tools we have. That's right. If we've got another, just kind of, let's play some Christmas music. Just a quick little. Just another little tune.

In the meantime, when we wait for boom to get a drink to toast, do you? How's McKenzie as a golf partner? He's horses shit. What? Oh, no, no, honest guy. He's a great guy, but he didn't have his best outing. He keeps telling me he's improved. But we're doing that Shaw Classic thing.

Yeah. I hit, and then he had to hit. And it's the crowd. And it's like we're yelling for and everything else like that. And then there's a sign where people walk the ball right in between the legs. Go, well, each you hit the five hole. It's all good. Don't worry about it.

He put a hole in the sign. Jeez, like spectators here sign? I mean, Mark Jankowski did actually hit a kid like two years before that at the same tournament. Oh, my. We're amateurs. It's bound to happen, right? Much gracios. I think after the second hole, we put one like out of bounds into traffic and

Bernie went over to try to give him a pep talk. But he was like, he's like, you're doing it. Okay, you're doing great by your hands on the back of his neck. I'm like, Bernie's going to kill him. Squeezing his neck. Bernie's not happy. This is a team event. I said, okay, what do we need here?

I need a drink, Bernie. I said, okay. Bam, I'll get it. And he says, I'm so nervous. I got to calm down. He says, I need a beer or something. So I kind of got him a couple. How was he on the back nine after a couple drinks got in them?

We only played the nine. That's not fair. That's it. Yeah. That's illegal. So this improved he said, so hopefully. Retro, what's this cocktail we've got?

Like it's always dumb. Just know that, but that's what most people see is always. This is the intervention we're having now, isn't it? I kick an argument. You're probably right, Rhett.

I'm not going to put you. What do you cook for dinner, Bernie? Do you cheat? Turkey. Nope. Do you do the whole thing? I'm considering cheating on my gravy.

Nope. What? Don't do it. No, sorry. A holiday. I was at a place the other day with a gravy, Dean.

I don't know if I can supplant it. Supplyant. So that's the place. You're going to bring it outside gravy? I don't know how the amount of time and effort it would take to make a better gravy than the gravy that I just had. Are you putting tariffs on your foreign gravy? Are you just bringing that in free market? I just haul it in.

I'll pass it off as my own. I'm not going to admit defeat. But I made this gravy. How good is it? It's fucking good. Are you going to share this valuable information? You're not going to. No, no, no.

Remember your pickles? You're a bun recipe. You got cabadroles and buns. Sorry. I got a gravy guy. And it's not you. It's not you. It's so good.

You look at a little bit. Anyone you want. You get first draft, So top three picks. Well, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So it's just more than a nation more than they'll get in there. Yeah. Ladies, you want to sit by me?

Hey, Redd needs a little company, minutes. Let's go here. I got a headset. Is it Haley and Cammy? Your name ends and I. No? Oh, there we go. There we go.

Who would have thought? So happy to be here on the island of Misfit toys. Yeah. Yeah. One of us. That thing comes from a black and white film from the 1930s called Freaks. Watch your mouth. One of us, one of us.

Goobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, Jack, find it on the internet. Don't. It's pretty upsetting, actually. Jack. Jack's gone. Yeah, he's been shit-faced for five hours.

I was going to say it was bombed at 9.30 this morning. He's going to go submit his rating for the jack-a-hometer. He'll be back in a couple of minutes. Who's on your shirt, retro? It doesn't like Bill-Farrell. It's kind of crumping up.

And I went in order to coffee this morning? The Shubbler was with me in order to a sandwich and they wrote on the Buddy the elf Oh, yeah. Buddy the elf. Nice.

Big miss for us not having maple syrup spaghetti for Rhett to devour. This is a thing, right? Apparently. Have you devoured maple syrup spaghetti? Dylan made me oatmeal with maple syrup yesterday and I wouldn't eat it because there was too much sugar in it.

You think I'm eating maple syrup spaghetti? Those things are the season where you can have. It's fine. I have got two, two gifts for you right now. Are you ready for it? For who? All of us.

Oh, everyone. The whole, the whole class, everybody. It's global. Gift number one, six foot eight of twisted steel. Sex appeal,

the one of only John Bender here in studio. He doesn't be, look at Jack. Jack, look behind you. Even fit in the screen. Isn't it fit to screen. Is gift number two also John Menner because he is 10 feet tall?

There we go. I'm a little bigger than the last person of sadness. That's all right. Fills the shot nicely. There we go. That a boy. And number two. Even the little rascals where the kids stand on top of each other in a trench coat

trying to get blown. It's a secret to his success. And BoJack Horseman gets even weir. That same skit. It's good stuff. Second surprise. My heart broke a little bit yesterday when I got the news. And it just hasn't been the same because last year we had an MVP on this show.

It wasn't even close. We had someone who really separated himself from the pack. Took the initiative, Dean. He really did. Excellence is not something that just falls. You have to go want it. You got to get it. The great ones make it look easy.

They really do. He ever. Not here in spirit and joining us on the stream. Come on. The one and only Jay Rose Hill. Jay. from Olds Albert. Yes.

I told you I'd make this shit. Oh, I was not happy with you the other day. I love you, but we had you penciled in on our starting lineup tonight. I was as disappointed as anybody. I'm trying to get the right microphone here. I need Jack with me, but do I sound like shit? Oh, you're good. Jack's an idiot.

Yeah, these things happen. I got FOMO out the ass right now. Sitting in my garage, dicking around with this. skadoo and I'm like fucking clean text me and I go oh you just makes it feel even worse and then he's like are you at home I'm like all right I'm going downstairs

so so what was you had to go to the airport or something you couldn't get her done today it's a bullshit excuse me I had to pick family up you know last year how I just got cranked and then got picked up of my wife and my in-laws I do that was an interesting drive-laws now I was the driver picking people up from the airport so uh

Oh. Disappointing. Disappointing. Of all the people to let us down, I didn't have you on that plus 800. It was really unlikely to happen. I should have had Barnburner just Uber them from the airport. It would have been $100 piece of piss for this podcast. Yeah, you're probably right.

I was trying to think it. It's not like you were not a rookie or anything, but just kind of a breakthrough performance like Rosie last year. Yeah. You were the talk of the show last year. Yeah. Do you remember when Coronado had the two goals in Montreal, all. Clause him back tie, wins in overtime.

You're like, he's arrived. That was the Rose Hill moment. I feel like this is Tom Brady after Bledsoe gets knocked out. That's what it was. A star was born. It's like this guy's unbelievable. And Her Gere's wife came to the studio for this Christmas party, and you're not even here to look. All that works, Rosie. Is that the shoveler herself? No, it's definitely not.

Keep going. That's Cammy Kepke from Flames Nation. That's the after-during. Oh, I'm sorry, Tammy. I thought you said it was his wife in studio. You don't know who I can't give a flamesperson props. I got to act like I don't know who you people are. Yeah, yeah.

Good luck of that. So yeah, last year you were in here and you actually started before the show began. You pre-drank the drinking show. That was where I went wrong. And Pinder told me that after. He's like, you pre-drank before the drinking show. I was like, how was I the only puddle? But I didn't know that your server, your bartender at the time was a buddy of mine.

and that was just happenstance. And then you had to fill them a regular barn burner. So I'm twiddling my thumbs. And guess what me and old Timmy do? We put a few down the old hatchet beforehand. And that caught up to me very quickly. Well, to get you up to speed. Yeah, what have we done here?

We have had the coffee with Irish cream, the Caesar, the espresso martini, the holiday lemon chino sprits. We're on to the Christmas margarita. And somebody, some dastardly villain, slid in a peanut butter shot of some sort. Some way, shape, or form it made its way in. So one, two, three, four, five, six. We're around halfway home.

Hey, you guys are doing good. I'm not noticing any slurring. You took it easy last time, Dean, so maybe you're going to go pull them this year. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. In fairness, Rets a mess. So there is that. No, I'm not.

No, no, fuck you. Okay. You are under pizza. He's as alert and enthusiastic. as he's ever been. Last year, laying on his fucking bed, wasn't he? He was drinking

stress on the floor of his fucking basement. Yeah, he was a mess. I was watching that whatever the whole Amazon Prime behind the scenes thing. Yeah. What was there? Four or five? However many episodes. I got into

episode one. And whose voice did I hear on there talking about some Maple Leaf? Jay Rose Hill? Get out. Rosie. I had No idea that was going to be taking place, but I can't believe how many people in my life recognize my voice. I didn't think I have a,

I think I have kind of an annoying voice, not a recognizable voice. But yeah, you're not going to say that. Were you ripping somebody or what? I don't remember the context of what it was. I think I was just saying, of course this happens to the Leafs.

They get the playoffs after all the bullshit and the whole season. And guess what? Oh, Bogan, Marner's got, or Neelander's got a head. and so-and-so's hurt and wolves. It was just a fucking nightmare. You know, they're migraines. Yeah.

Which. Have a drink with that, Jay? Yeah, I cracked one in my little beer. I did your fellows. Thank you. Very nice. Appreciate the invite. I couldn't leave you hanging.

No, I appreciate it. It's, uh, I didn't think I had, I didn't think about the show too much today. I just realized what I had to do and took care of business. And then when you text me, I tuned in and FOMO was happening in full force. I get that quite a bit, actually. We got like 20 people in here right now. Yeah, the walls are lined. We've got more booze.

I've got social anxiety, Jay. It's terrible. I hate it. There's only one solution. Guess what it is? Yeah, I can tell you're riddled with that. If only a guy could get a drink around here. There's like 15 people.

I know it's hard to count, but damn. We're eating big turks. You ever had a big Turk, Jay? What is this? Yeah, they're not my first choice, but they're on every candy stand, aren't they? Just a big purple goose, like early 30s. The dawn of time. Is it the purple gum in the middle thing?

Is this great depression candy? Yeah, I think it's a great war. It's from the trenches. That's what they kept them going. Yeah. Because Gould brought this in. Is that what it is? Yeah, we're going to put that right there.

Maybe he would have like an ancient candy. We have a second Caesar? This is the BBC or retro? BBC. There you have a BBBC. It's the BBBC. British Broadcasting Corporation here today. These are Google it.

That's not what came up. These are Big Turk Bites. I'm sorry, what came up for you? I don't remember. I use private browsing. It made me feel very bad about myself. My self-esteem took a huge hit. We got a BBC with a tigeon.

You'll live on different parts of the internet. Don't we? Yeah. So he's real. Our Pard burner blonde from origin with the clamp. So the B, B, B, C. That's how that works. Don't forget about the Tijin rim job.

Oh, that's a different topic. It is Friday. Yeah. It is Friday. Good stuff. What's the plan, boys? What's the lineup? I was kind of a...

We're coming out to old. you got any room in your garage Metropolitan Olds Oh yeah I will show you guys a good time I just got that skidoo fired up in the garage We've got a whole ranch to ourselves I got a question

What about the kids size scoooo Is that a nice option or is that a waste of time? Why would you do that for a kid? Just put like get a good sled and tie it Because my kids are right next to And if they get the full size motor They're going to crash real fast It's going straight into a tree.

They don't need the full size motor just get a big tube or get um no but they're driving what do you think i'm going to spend time with them what's the toll and capacity on those things let's let j way in here he's clearly they have a day for the warner children they got to they got to pull each other we started with the little kitty cat little tractor piece of shit that goes three miles an hour they grow out of that by the time they're three you get them on a nice 500 like in a 90s style skidoo you show them where the barbed wire fence is you tell them how people lops their heads off on that kind of shit stay away from the fence you give him a big stern warning.

And then you let them learn and let them live and let them play. I'm with you. I feel like you just get a GT snow race or hooked up behind that thing and just look it through a field. You know what? The key to this is? I feel like Jay has a great approach and strategy. I'm dropping my kids off.

That's good idea. I feel like tomorrow, me and the shoveler will at Camp Rose Hill. We'll drop them up. They can spend Christmas with the Rose Hill. We lost your microphone for some reason. Hey. Of course RJ is not around. I know you're good.

I change the topic. Who's got the belt right now? Toughest guy in the league. You don't want to fight him. I got one guy in mind. Who do you have? Because we talked a lot about Renpe last year. It's not Rampe?

No. Olivier is my favorite guy right now. I haven't seen much out of McDermott or Deloree Reeves. It has done fuck all. And Olivier is like playing the game and playing the role and jumping in when he needs to. He can scrap anybody. I just, I think he's the guy. that's standing out to me and they're sure as hell as in many of them.

He might get 20 tucks and 10 fights. That's unreal. This is the last guy to do that. It's been a while, I'm guessing. Simon, probably. Me. Not to change the topic, but Ryan, I was wondering if you could grab something there and just, because I think Rosie would, no, no, on top, up top.

That's right. A lot of pride there. Do you recognize that? there under old frosty here under old frosty that's one of the more coveted trophies in western canada what is that dollar store plastic useless nobody cares that's our championship trophy from the jasper pond hockey tournament 24 yeah took down leaps nation oilers nation i thought nick alberga would be able to skate in some way He can't public skate and he's on my team.

All he talks about his beer league, I thought we were going to be able to hook up a little bit. Rosie, he's sweating like a hog on a spit roast two minutes in. It was a bad team. You guys were cooked from the moment it started. You should drink out of that. You cared more than anyone I've never seen.

I was going to say, Rosie, could you give us the synopsis, your Ryan Pinder experience from Jasper last year? I just, you get the Jets on. no one's got shin pads on you throw a little sauce around everyone's having fun let's keep it clean pinder is full chin strap tight as it goes tapes it on full hard as he can possibly go cotton wide body to protect the pock i i i cannot believe i didn't just bury you in a snowbank because i was having a little bit okay so he had me lined up once i was on the trolley tracks and he literally is coming in full speed and if i was you i would have buried me because i'm an obnoxious cunt

But you had me on the trip. Wow. I had a guy tricked out of the chat last night for saying that. You blew it. What happened to class? Cannonball! Yeah. What are you doing?

You don't keep it together. That's still a bad word. It's still a bad. I like more. Only in public. Not great. Sponsors and women in the room. Yeah, there's two of us, so we can use the plural now, which is very exciting. Fender, you blew it.

You went, it was our first game playing against each other. I thought there'd be many more, and if we played again, you would have gone for a ride. But it was game one, we just pulled into town, played you, could not believe what I was witnessing. and we never saw you again, did we? Well, it's like they know about you. You pushed out, Rose Hill. No, Pinder had the scheduler set that up in his advantage because he cares so much about that fucking dollar store trophy there.

Listen, listen. He had me. He pulled up and he said, Oh, my God, if this is a real game, I want to have buried you! He just was seething. And I'm like, honestly, it's a snowbag, Rose. You just bury me next time.

I'll admit you were effective. You were effective. You deserve that thing. I think of my play now is the draft Tinder's kids because they're getting pretty good. We've seen them playing in their basement. And one of them, we are watching a game. Cammy's not working. They're talking about their kids and basements.

Their mics aren't on. Sorry. Oh, we've been muted. We've been silenced over here on the couch. It's probably for the best. Oh, you got no audio there. Can you hear? audio now.

Now we've got audio. Sorry, Cammy, go ahead. All right. Merry Chrysler. I think the play going forward is to draft Pender's children because I've seen them playing hockey in their basement, watching some games over there.

They're getting pretty good. Wow. Wow. Now they're all coming full circle. It's all full circle. It's all full circle. And for being honest, both of you married up. Wow.

We've all married up here. Rosie. RETT. Easy. There's a ladder and it's being climbed and it's not. Yeah. Continue that metaphor. To my window.

Please continue your metaphor. It's been climbed up to my window. My floor. I own the whole floor. It's on the ground. Oh, so talking this on the show gets good. I know.

Yeah, here we go. We really miss Rosie right now. So have you received the invite for the 2025, Jasper Tournament? It's in the work. It's in the works. Yeah. I don't know what is going to be on my team.

Maybe I'll go down to the Glencoe and recruit some of those pinder kids. Little spoiled brats are their 24-7. Well, they can pay for it. Yeah, they can pay for it. They're all rich pricks. Wow. Hey, I got to do an interview here. I got Easton Cowan coming on.

He's on a 58 game. Well, just loop them in. Loop them in with us. We'll interview them. Loom them. Rosie, we got some whitejack going on. Hey, he's really good. Part of the fucking least.

Okay, actual news you can use. Easton Cowan had a hat trick in World Junior's preliminary action last night. And if we're going to talk about the Glenn Co. Gators 2025 NHL draft eligible projected first rounder defenseman Jackson Smith. Defenseman for the Tri-City Americans does hold multiple swimming records for the Glenn Co-Galers. Oh, man. Oh, she knows. I have never lost a swim race.

I will win every I will beat your asses, all of you. Okay, so you're challenging a 17-year-old to a swimming race. I'll bring it on. All right. I've never played against a Smith. He's got long arms. Watch out of it. Most of my buddy, Oly Colesig.

I don't have that guy benched for life. He won't see the ice the rest of the year. Jackson, I'm so sorry. Rosie, you're the best. Not the same without you. Next year, let's come on now. Don't let us down.

Be better. Next year, it doesn't matter what's going on. My kid could be getting married. I'm going to be there. Outta boy. Jay Rosell, everybody. Thank you, boys. Thank you ladies.

There he goes. Poor bender just had to sit through all that slop there. Yeah. The whole hitting on people's wives and stuff. He really enjoyed last year, which is why I was stunned that he didn't make a return. He wanted. to be here. I think he double booked himself by accident pretty. No, he didn't.

He didn't double book himself. He got reprimanded. It was a very strict. You're going to go do what again? No. You're not obviously exclusive. He also was reprimanded and he double-bucked himself. All right. Ladies and gentlemen, the man to my left, you're right. He is an offensive lineman. He is involved with, uh, what do you do?

Like, it's investments. I'm a certified financial planner. Yeah, you are. Hey! Damn right you are. Jesus. And you are a sexy beast. John Bender and Sterling on, everybody.

If I can give a gift to the shoveler, it'd be you under the tree, you a sexy bastard. You're not a good thing. Look at you. A big tree that right. And trust me, the shoveler loves a good football player. He's a big fan of the baller. I mean, right-end cheese going for.

Holy cow. You know, you're ripping you, right? What? What? Oh, man. So what's going on,

Johnny, boy? Good to see you. Now, we had, I don't know, I want to get into it. But we had a little kind of

top shelf off Christmas auction. And every year we have the stampeters. They're very gracious to give us some passes down on the sidelines and some tickets to the season, opening game, meet and greet, that sort of thing. We've just, over the years, it's perennially.

It's the Bender package. It's John Bender. John Bender didn't win that this year. You didn't win? Johnny. I bought it the last two years, I believe. This year, I made a bid, and I think someone outbid me last minute. So someone got smart about it.

They went the last minute on me, and then you're right at the very end. That's too bad. I do. I do. I call all the games. We got to get you guys out. You know, we got to go do, you know, you, Rhett, Bender, let's all go do. Retro.

Hey, anytime the riders are in town, I'm there. Let's get a tailgate party. We can get some of the barn burner listeners in there, too. Johnny tailgates with the best of them. There's not a better tailgate than a, than a bender tailgate, especially if you slide by Greg at Bontan first to get a nice base. It's a great tailgate, right? You'd love it.

It's a good combo. It really is. It's undeniable. Actually, we get a fantastic tailgate once at a Stamps game where my boyfriend came in from, he'd been out of team. He sucks. He's doing it. You fool it.

Tammy says she had a boyfriend and she loses all her Instagram follows. Yeah, seriously. It just fucking sucks. But he came in and he was dressed like that to smash. And I was telling him like, I'm sorry. I'm so busy. I have live hits. I can't talk to you for at least two hours.

Just get away from me. And he got on the grass. And the tailgators. thought he was homeless. So they brought him a plate of, like, some good food. They brought him a plate of meat and beers. And they thought that they were helping the less fortunate by giving it to this majesty on the ground.

Pounds of brisketers. They're trying to help out. Yeah. That's bad. Okay. What the hell's going on out here? There's no winner. That's one too many boyfriend's stories.

You're off the mic. You're officially suspended for one game. What are what's wrong with you people? If I give up this night, he's just a show tune for you. He loves wicked. That's, you're ready to hear Mike Goulson

defying gravity. Hey, I think I promised that earlier this year. All right, well, let's not wait. I can do it. Wow. Big Turk or a big Turk bikes? I could sing. You go.

You do a, right? Boom is just. right out his mic drops over here. Wait, wait, wait, Brett, if we took you to Duckies, what song would you sing? Ducky, go to. Ducky, go to. Would Rusty shake me in the ribs, and I wouldn't be. Oh, boy.

I'd sing Amarillo by Mourin by George Strait. That's beautiful. Or my son, or Mac Davis. Oh, Lord, it's hard to be humble. And you're perfect in everyone. Bigges ain't shit, but hose and tricks. Slick on these nuts and suck that dick Get the fuck out after you're done

I'm not trying to slide in on this, but like, yeah, I don't need to sit by gold. What the? I compared you to Braden Hall. I thought that was a compliment. That's not a fucking compliment. Brayden Hall. Is he finished second ever? Never.

In what? Anything. He did finish first once in something. A WHL championship. What did the Saskatoon Blades get one? I told you, has you ever finished second? I didn't say first.

Anybody can win. Anyone can be selfish. A generous guy does finish. Can you finish second? That's the key. Thank you, Cammy. That's been my model for life. Always second.

So earlier this week, Gould says, we got the Drinky Show coming up on Friday. Why don't you guys slide by? Be good to see you. Mike says a message, what's the Drinky Show? What are we talking about? You don't know what the show? Did I say it? So what time does it start?

Mike, this is the Drinky Show. And welcome to it. Yeah. Thank you, Dean. It's, it's, it's, I'm not sure this is what I expected. but it's been it's i think it's exceeded my expectations yeah yeah yeah it's uh this mike do that what's up can you sing uh all right do we need to give you a beat or can you just go a cappella yeah yeah well like but but what that's okay fine can you shoot some vocal arrows for us here we go

There we go. Here we go. Oh, God, this is going to be cringe-worthy. What is about to happen here? It's hard to say to when you're a slouch. He's going to drop off fire.

What is happening here? I should need to tackle Pinder before I do this. No, he's gone to tackle somebody. What are you to sing for us? What are you to sing for? This is, this feels like mutiny.

No, you're among friends. Am I? Am I? So do you have a singing background? Is that why Cammy's like, is this what? Well,

Yeah, back when I was in, I used to be in the Royal Conservatory of Music. I don't know what that is, but yeah, sounds great. What did you just say? The Conservatory is a big word. Yeah, well, we got to protect the parks. Ducks unlimited over here. Nature is a very, we don't want ecology, right? Yeah, that's what it is.

Yeah, the Mediterranean. It's very good. So you're at the constipation. That's right. That's right. Across the nation. Okay, so we'll stop taking the piss out of you. So you go to the thing, whatever it is, right?

So you're, okay, walk us through it. Walk us through it. It was kind of against my will. But I enjoyed it. I got a little taste of the theatrical. You know, it's lent itself too. a productive career. Which is nice for him.

Because when I was in a band, the guys were so excited when I joined. Because, like, great, we can play Fleetwood Mac. We have a girl who can sing girl songs. And I tried and they're like, okay, you can do the Hayes and the Yaz. Yeah. And I was relegated to the Hayes and the Yes. And now we have Mike. Have you done any Paramore covers?

Actually, I do think Misery Business was something we attempted. And I simply do not have the range to do anything other than one week by the bare naked ladies. Oh. So I play bass and mind my business. No. He was. Well, what about the orange?

You know, you can do the orange hair type thing, you know? The Haley, uh, what's her name? Does anybody know? I mean, this is a great show. Cut the shit and sing, Mike. Are you singing, Mike? You go to the conservatory and so you're hard. I think it was at the conservatory and it was Mr. Green with the hammer.

Well, you're not laying a bit. Hello. awesome appreciate you buddy hey you know what no no we want to can we hear someone at the table sing now yeah I think pender should go now

if you look at bender look at I feel like bender's peritone is totally my my heart of existence that right benders a parrot baritone and pinders a puddle that's bad combo

smell like malt liquor I've been spilling out of this cup all over myself it's horrible right now you smell a drink like that in the cootneys you got to drink the rest of it out of your shoe. Well, he's done that. I've seen a video. I know. One of my friends did that in my place and I only had like a Nike gym shoe with like the little gel

spikes and he did a shoe out of it and it was like Planko down the shoe. You got to use the boots. How's our guys doing? This is the Keogh of the bartender over here. Anyone need anything? I'm slowing down. I got like last in the last week. I could use three. You can use three before you sing a nice show to?

I could have used three before. How's your, I'm going to say this in Chicago. Absolutely not. You can't do waitress. You know waitress? Oh, that's not simple. I can talk to your waitress, Keogh.

She wants to suck to me. She wants to rather. I don't recognize me. See, these people can't hear what I'm saying. I'm on fire. See, that was pretty good. I'm on fire. Oh, I'm Korean.

I love karaoke. Pender, I'm killing it here. And all these people, they can't hear what I'm saying. I doesn't have cans on. RJ's an audio guy with no headphones on. I do it all. I do it all. Jack.

I do galaxy. Actually, the play is to go to Ducky's. It's been many moons since I've had to do this, but you go to Duckeys on like a first date and you get up on the mic and you're like, it's our first date.

I took a ferry from St. Louis across the river. Oh, no, that's, that's Missouri. This is Saskatchewan, you, I know. Coming south from the A. Oh, my God.

And then you got to go. Oh, yeah, there is a river. across the river. Tedrenco's got my back here. Yeah, St. Laurent Ferry, if you're coming from Saskatoon, you can take the kind of back way. Yeah, the old highway, right? Yeah.

And then your car, you're going to wonder if it's going to tip over. I was very worried. I was like, okay. Everybody is a side of a living group. Okay. Not my first memory, but one of my fondest memories of Joey Tedderenko. So we're in Miami Arena. Oh, wow.

Joey had gotten a fight. And fucking Ken Baumgartner elbowed Scott Melmy in the face, like, bad. Like, I'm like, fuck. All right, I guess I'm, so I went, thank you. And I went after Kenny Belongay, and I got absolutely shit pumped. Just fucking, and Joey's the young kid, the fucking 19-year-old. And I go to the box, I'm fucking just distraught. And Joey's like, hey, at least you showed up.

just fucking way to hang in there big brother hey it did all right you showed up st louis is cast you into Miami Florida yeah first time I was a trip and that's a different planet I know all the people who say so how does that work you take the big bird down or what yeah I guess that's what you call it big bird that's what they call planes in St. Louis the big player what who's the other guy in the coach I don't know oh that's Dave we're pretty excited about Joey Teterreico and Dave oh yeah Dave oh my dad is not here Dave I was not I'm still called Steve Austin I'm fucking

my bodyguards yeah these are a little way for my moment of fame here let me miss that one yeah so retro tigel look. It's coming up here. You got a can't out. The tail of the tape for the one and only. Joey Teterranco, there is.

Look at that jaw and that guy. That's, that's something. You got to wear that up. You got an AI that on you. When you go to bed. I do. Fucking P.A.

He's got an actual crib board. He's got a crib board with that mug on it. I do. I have a crib board with that face on it. 15, 15, 14, 14, 4. and a run at three is nine let's go I don't get a crib board with that

well I want it Joe Tenorago I'm going to say one more time because I'm half drunk but I mean it he's the best thing I'm not almost 30 years I was how how

how I was drinking where did you guys mean? So he was drafted by Florida one or two years before me. He played with the Blades. Then I crushed it. Took the team to the finals.

Throw him right on my back. I took his guidance. One Memorial Cup in Portland. Yeah, that's what we do. We win. Yeah, we're just winners. Winners win, that's what happens. No, wait, I'm going to ask a question.

It might be a sensitive question, but you're pretty good about Ope being old. Didn't you take on that big fucking Russian prick Chara and Junior? Yeah. Oh, PG? Well, if you zoom the camera and I got 36 stitches. Oh, just crazy. And I'm from Prince Albert.

He's second of few. So I'm from Prince Albert. And I was even scared being the PG hospital where I had all my gear on. And I kind of came to. And if you think you're tough and getting ribbed in the PG emergency room, room about how you took it from Chara. You told me it was like fighting a helicopter. Yes, it is like fighting a helicopter.

You kind of punched me in a scrum, and I grabbed them closer, and all of a sudden the PG emblems are in my face and like, oh, shit, it's Charra. And then, all right, I'm going to get going to see. I got this. He's not that tough. He's a hero. Nope. Swung, I was about 10 inches from his face.

And that's going to get me in the same spot. Boom. Prince George and Britain's your room. So you, we come play in Florida, white ears. drafted in 96, started my first games in 01, I think. Oh, one? Oh, one. And who was coaching?

Terry Murray. Terry Murray, Dwayne Sutter, Mike Keenan. It was six of the four-check. Paul House is there. He's the tough guy. He's illegitimate and one of the best ever. He's awesome. Good guy.

Awesome. Love took me under his wing. Yeah, great guy. Yeah. That was Mike Keenan. Oh, man. Is he here? He's a hero.

I already know the answer to this question. I'm just sorted it out there for you. Joey, you're good. There's no mic here. So 97-98, you win the dub championship? W-HL championship. I was the captain of the winter honks. Then we won the Morrill Cup.

Yeah. I remember sitting, I worked in Brandon for too long, watching you guys just shit pump the Wheat Kings. And Marion Hosa is on that team. be in the NHL even then. He had 45 goals or whatever it was. And he put some kind of move on the defense and then the goalie. And

it was Paddock. Which Paddock was with the Jets but Gord. But anyway, John Paddock was sitting about five seats down and we just looked at each other and he mouthed to me. Holy fuck. I mean, Hosa was a man child. He was so

good for you guys. Oh, he was so good. I was defenseman at the time and I knew if I just got it on my stick off the glass, he's gone. I don't know if you guys can pull this up, but I have the most third assist in WHL history. Third assist, yeah. We'll see if we can find it. I don't know.

Barbes was on that team, Jason and Barbara. Huge, yeah. Who else would people know? I mean, Josh Green. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We obviously everyone knows Andrew Ferrence, Mary Lowe, Brendan Morrow. Chairman.

All right. NHL. Geez. Yeah, but I mean, you guys were, yeah, you guys were a handful.

Yeah, I think 13 guys played NHL games off that team. So it's pretty crazy. That's insane. That is actually like, I think we lost 12 regular season games that season. It was.

What did you play? Like 72, 80? What did you play? I think 72 at the time before they changed in 68. They were like 58, 12, and two or something like that.

Oh, yeah, Ference, Andrew Ference, soon to be flame. as a D-Man had 68 and 72. Come on. For the Portland Winter Hawks that year.

Yeah, his plus minus was unbelievable. Yeah. You would have missed Weamer by a couple of years or not? Nope. Weamer was there my 16-year-old year during the lockout, placed until Christmas, and then went to town. So what did he look like in junior? Like an adult playing with timbits or what are it?

He looked a little older than than he does now. Yeah. He used to see two. He didn't do razors until later. Yeah, six four, six, five, full beard. It's a guy's a beast. That's why weems wears a chain. He knows when to stop shaving.

Yeah. Now that Warner's out of the room, let's talk real. I mean, he's, I don't know how the fuck he carved out of an NHL career. Let's be honest. Fucking long arms. I don't know. He could probably talk himself into some good situations. I guess so.

Talk him out. Yeah, no. If there is a, you know, we always talked about the Hall of Fame, people go in there. If there was like the Builders category, the players, all that. If there is a room guy, I'm sure he'd be first ballot. Yeah, we had one of him. Jamie McClendon was in earlier.

He's one of those guys. Jesus. Freedom Warner is one of those guys. Look at this room. What is going on. It's a great room. It's a great room tonight. And we were just talking about Weamer.

And a Weimer was. You played with the big human. Jason Weirer. Yeah. Yeah. In Portland and then in Florida. He's got the biggest hands of anybody I've ever shaking hands with. Jason?

Oh, yeah. Joey was just talking about how fierce you were, Red and how hard you were to handle. Well, it's just something that gets underestimated at times, but I like to bring it to people's attention. You were a force to be reckoned with. I told him I beat your record for most third assist in the dub hit history. Well, yeah.

You just talked to the right people. In the last game, Rhett. It came down to the wire. Right to the last game. I was a good player. Blaine's Legends. Maybe it's time to check the score sheet. Where are we on these drinks?

Yeah. Do we have any drinks left to me? Are we done? We've got to be close. Keio, no chance. I'm not done yet. Fuck that.

Okay. I've got two here. What are these? This is a... Keio, we need a heads on. Yeah. You guys are a little behind, but that's the winter fashion.

Okay. Elijah Craig Bourbon, some of Verno Amara, a little mold wine syrup. We got, I think on your right, we just got some Irish cream and coffee. Just to kind of keep you guys going for another hour. If you want to break last year's record.

No, that's straight vodka for Rhett. Yeah. I'm trying to put them to bed right now. Are you having a delicious water there, Red? I love water. Yeah. Much is made by water. It's a little shafty.

Yeah, yeah, a little Irish cream, a little shafty. Yeah, you're supposed to chug shafts. You guys got to catch up to wherever Red's at right now. Perfect. Hey, Joe, you got any good shit in your pants stories? That's what this show's known for. Recent or vintage? Top number one, shit your pants, sorry.

Who are we to judge? I started Christmas shopping the other day. Joey, it's not you. The malls will get you. The malls will get you. The world is a really good one. It's not shoot your pants, but it is kind of a Christmas, Christmas line. Yeah, break the families together.

Yeah. Yeah. So it's inspirational. I ended my career in Houston, and Houston has the gallery of mall, which is huge. So bad. And so I'm there Christmas shopping. A lot of Tex-Max, a lot of, I don't know, a lot of different spices down there. And so I eat at the-

Adobe. Yeah. You know, like, good Saskatchewan, boy, let's go to the food court. And so. Bourbon chicken. Barrow. And so I'm doing some Christmas shopping. I was like, oh, a little rumble.

I better find a bathroom. So I go to the bathroom and there's a lineup outside. And I'm waiting and, you know, start beating down, turning colors. And all of a sudden, I have to go to the bathroom so bad. Now I'm all in Houston. So I finally get in there and people are going to the urinals and I'm like, I'm waiting for a stall to open. No one's going to the stall.

Oh, no. And I'm like, I got to go. I run in there. This is one of those ones that doesn't flush. So it's already, you're just adding to it. It's already piled high. You're adding to it.

And I had no time. I had no time. So I just pull my pants down and grab the door all in one swoop. No door on the stall. Let a rip. Open air. Open air. I just,

Hey, guys. Ladies and gentlemen. here's your your headlining act of the evening yeah joe teneranco merry christmas getting in the bathroom and if you ever want to see this guy fight you got the shit the here we go oh he's the tail of the tape well here we go he's an animal we got a tilt we got a tilt because he is an animal this is a man child look out look the bleep out oh that's scar park Scott parker oh that's gonna come up on the main screen there just a couple seconds behind but This is the old Western League back in the early 90s.

Go down. Oh, yes. Wow. Oh, this was my first fight in the W. Really? Yeah. Who's, who are you against? Whoops.

Atta boy. Who are you against, Joey? Is that Daniel Lambert? Or Tamer? This is Chris Tamer. Tamer. Decisive. That was my third fight of the night.

What? I thought Odgers and Tamer before that, too. This was... Joey Teterranco, he's a beast. He's obese. So good. Thank you for having you. Oh, I love you.

Big brother. You can't show me tonight, all right, buddy. Hey, other guy, who did you ever fight? I've never fought this guy. I think he's in a fight with his wife, right now. He said, he said, he had to reduce it. Like, give us a debate. He's not a fight.

It's a debate. No, I'm a lover, not a fighter. That's right. Hey, Red, how did your first NHL fight go? What was that one? Oh, I tuned in that Mike Hudson guy he was asking for big time. Was he? Oh, he was in trouble.

That guy. You couldn't contain him. He was trouble. He had to be dealt with. He was running roughshod, Joey. He was running rough shot on the squad. We couldn't handle it at the Maple Leafs Garden. yeah honestly it was maple leaves garden and i'm like i have to get in a fight because it's the old

fucking garden hey i miss that by the half kind of hit rob needermire and that was my excuse to tell him about your what dog told you about your preseason that first year about why i did noticed get noticed well he didn't tell me that he told me a couple years later he goes If you hadn't fought Chase and Mark Jansson's the last game of the year, you wouldn't have made it. But you remember how Grapes used to say, fight the first day, then halfway, and then at the end of camp, I did that, and I didn't even mean to. It wasn't like, I'm like, Don Cherry knows what he's talking about. My first game that training camp, I didn't play very well. And so I'm like, fuck, I better fight.

So I fought Cabana. and then a couple of weeks later, the exhibition season started, and I fought Topperowski. And then at the last game of the year, I fought Kelly Chase and Mark Jansons, who were pretty tough dudes at the time. Anyway, make the team.

Spend a year there. Years later, Dwayne Sutter goes, you know, you realize if you hadn't fought those guys the last day, we were sending back to sask two you know who would have stayed in your spot Chris Armstrong yeah

he was a puss he was a warrior you know what is that he's a better hockey player but he was a is that advice you'd give today or is it just changed so much that no I would give it even more so because I think you stand out more than I wish you would have gave me that advice

I think it was a nine fights my first count plenty of don't ever listen to it Like, yeah, the equipment guy. So tough, I mean, toughest. Who was the biggest handful for you in your career? And you'd have fought plenty, but who would have been, I mean, you talked about Char already. He's kind of a, he's not even human. I've heard that.

Yeah. The one I really didn't do well, Eric Cairns when he was the Islanders, just a big dude, just long, long, wrong grab and just, oh, should I go down? No, be a man. for you dad yeah I was I was obviously a little lighter back then I was I was obviously a little lighter back then I was always on the good middleweight when I was in the H.L. And then kind of a real light heavyweight but still fought them and took some lickens

but I don't know how was Florida like when you think back on your career I mean that's you had minors you had Florida like Like, Paul Laos, Peter Worrell, Paul, Las, Peter Rorell, myself. Yeah, we kind of, there was no real other team that could, you know, throw that out. Yeah. So, like, that's a nice list when you're third on that list, right?

Like, like, the law offices of Laos, Borrell and Teterrancoe and associates. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it was, uh, no, it's pretty good because Paul Loss could, you know, knock out anybody. Peter Ror L was 6, 8, and I could kind of, you know, go. shit disturb and fight a bunch of other guys so awesome and now you're back in alberta back in

Although my buddy, Bud Kelly, did say, Eaton is cheating. So I don't know today. What are we in here? I don't know. I'll revisit the tape. Yeah. Well, it's kind of like a football game or a sporting event.

I'll go back and look at the tape. After I've got some time to kind of process things and accept the out. the outcome. But I'm not sure. I think I know. I think it was too much booze, too short of time. Lugans. I thought we were like,

I thought we were taking way too much time. But then we felt like we were behind. It did. But then this happened and now I'm not too sure. Although I think we caught up in a hurry. Just let the cameras roll. Let the camera. Pinders in the thing here.

So what I was, I put together. Everyone kick fender. Yeah, that'd be all right. Make some money for charity. Yeah. Some people will say, so that, like that drop that you guys play or that sound effect that you guys play in the show, what's that from or how does that come together? Where did you get that?

And I thought what we would do is now that we have, we're on YouTube, we have the benefit of video. I thought I would take some of our classic Josh. And Ryan has always said, we need to do some sort of a sound effect bracket. short of that we'll do the main one uh jack the uh the show drop because that's just the one but we'll do the montage i put together a little montage of some of our greatest clips so you get the video side to really appreciate what it is that we've had over the years take us back to your draft day what do you remember from the day that you were drawn don't i don't remember too much i had 41 cores lights. God damn it.

Cannonball! I shoot my pants last night. Lying in bed, just like Brian Rousin' bed. Let me have a Diablo sandwich, Dr. Pepper, make it fast. I'm gonna goddamn hurry. You disgust me. How can you live with yourself? Just cool it, Zippy.

I'm not real, uh, technologically smart. I had a lot of the idea. Thanks. I'm a man. I'm 40. Our pets' heads are falling off! Bag on tear? Put it in reverse! Oh, Lord!

Twelve cats live across the road. Our door's open. The screen's broke. We need to get a new screen door, but the screen's broke. So you can cover. I'm in through the screen, but you can't get back out of it. I turn and look, there's a little kitty cat in our kitchen. So I said, what are you doing in here, a little kitty cat? By that time, the cat turns, tries to get back out,

that screen won't go that way. Cat starts going, meow, wow, all crazy. And I told our players, we need more dogs. Bow's bargaining in the back, I have to go shut bow up. Mel's like, what's going on? I said, it's a cat in the house. Cat in the house. I said, yet is the cat in the house.

So I told our players, I tried to let it out the front door, the cat's still going crazy in there. And I told our players. You need to be more like a dog. We don't need a bunch of cats in here. Me, looking in the mirror. Do I look good? I got my extra bands on.

I got my other shoes. Be a dog. We don't need no meows. We don't need no cats. We need more dogs. Stop the hammering. This one's for Pat. Put the cream rise to the top.

This guy here is dead. Cross him off then. If you want it, don't just think you want it. Go out and fucking want it. But you're not looking. looking like you want it, you look like you're feeling sorry for yourself, and nobody fucking wants anybody that's feeling sorry for themselves. You got 20 fucking minutes, you're down by one fucking shot. Surely the fuck we can deal with this.

At Chevrolet we have, we have also been proud of the latest and greatest technology in our truck lineup, which is the all-new 2015 Chevy Colorado.

She was the table TV and they said, you know what? She's too short. I can't believe I have to raise the chair after Mike pulled. And pull that lever.

The lever. That's terrible. Everything you do, you're too damn short. Mugsy Bokes. you're going to have to go working right there. I don't want you to S talk any of your former employers, but you were working for global TV, you're a sports reporter.

Oh. It's what it is in the media. They're cutting back. We're cutting back. We're cutting jobs. We got a slice. We got a dice. What the hell,

damn guy? Even though you're very good at what you do, you're very talented, you're young, you have a bright future. We need to say goodbye. And we're the beneficiaries. Ladies and gentlemen,

and Cammy Kepke, we are. We're back. Cooper, the way you say that makes you think they're going to push me out on an ice wall into the Atlantic Ocean.

No, you're landlocked. We can't even do it if we wanted to. No, not at all. It's just as someone who's seen year after year, and erode in regular, whatever you want to call it, mainstream media.

This is home. This is what it's all about moving forward. You work for the Western Hockey League. And obviously we heard you rolling out those stats. You're super smart. You're super great at what you do. Honest, we're very lucky to have you. I'm putting these on before you make me emotional.

There you go. There you go. Kami Kepke is awesome. She is. Someone's text to me or whatever. on the message. She's our afterburner blood. We've got a barn burner blood beer. She's our afterburner. And you know what?

No one wanted to make that move. Cammy said herself, I am. The afterburner blonde. Let's go. Let's go. And thanks to my friend Rat over there on the couch. Rat. Rat. That's you, Mike. Dr. Rat. Beautiful stuff. There's a guy in the back of the room.

I don't know that he's ever been on camera. It don't matter. We're probably better off. but we don't see him. But when we were approached three years ago, it's like, well, you guys did this radio thing. What are you doing? So I don't know. Warner's living in Buffalo.

Well, they came to us. They said, use famous pricks. Like how do you? They said, one guy's living in Buffalo. You're fat. The other guy,

we don't know what he's doing. You did a radio show together. Do you guys think you want to do something together again? I don't know, maybe. Well, how does it work? Well, it's on the internet. And this is how it goes. And you guys can do whatever you want,

whenever you want, for how long as you want, for how long as you want. Yeah. Shit, yeah. Let's do that. And Jared Sharp, the Wolverine, was the first guy that came to Calgary and met with us and said,

listen, I got you back. We're going to do this thing. We're going to meet with clients. We're going to meet with prospective clients. We're going to get into the community. Downhill from there. Now he's this move to BC and left us a day. Yeah, we've been strong.

since it was his job like it was his job for a week. It's unbelievable. But yeah, truly, this studio that we're in right now, Jared found it and put the money down. The blinds that are on the wall. He hung those things. He marked the spot. He built these things. The couch you're sitting on, he bought and brought in and delivered those.

He was moving them from a different locale. That's not true. We did buy those. The blinds may be installed perfectly, but you know what? We're not going to critique. Jared, you were a big part of getting this whole thing off the ground. Thank you, boys. It's all family.

Let's go, baby. I love, he had his vape pen right before the camera cuts. Yeah, I don't know if that's true. I do not, babe. Jen's watching this team. That's true. Is Lindsay or not anymore? They quit.

Yeah. Lindsay doesn't need to come on camera. Is Lindsay here? There she is. Go stand by the Wolverine. Lindsay's another one of the people who was involved in mainstream media. And it's like, you know what, maybe, just maybe the internet and streaming and all that, that's maybe the way it's kind of going.

And all these, you know, these parts. What did you say about me? You're inspired by Dean and Ryan and their approach to their. Oh, yeah, it was. They're professionalism. You're really, I got to get behind these people. That's. They're professional.

be slightly paraphrasing girl. But Lindsay came on with us. She decided, you know what, I'm going to join these group of donkeys as, I mean, it's what it is, is we're, it's a pirate ship. She's kind of doing sales. She's putting toilet paper in the bathroom.

She's talking to people that come in and clean this place. I mean, she's doing everything for us. This place has ever been clean. Lindsay, having some faith in us. We're going to have some faith in. We're going to have some faith in.

We're going to do it. And she knows a big human. What's going? Jared. Oh, yes, look at that. Yeah, that's a comfortable shit right there. That's what you do. What?

Nothing. No one's watching this. I know. I got bad news for you. There's actually quite a few. What? There's people? Oh, son of.

You're fuck, we got a lot of people watching. Brett's talk to their he's in this entire life. Oh, I need a drink then, bartender. Oh, hey, just hang on. Oh, and I don't want this. Look at, this is going to rot my insides. This is very bright.

There's food coloring. I can't have it. Yeah. I like Asians. I like, I have an Asian drink. He's going to go get scabit ducky. Just as the Lord intended. Hot check.

In the back of the room, as Robert Munich is, here. Bobby Germany's his name's Robert Munich. He's on. If you see a clip that shows up on our show, chances are Robert his wife's talking to the shoveler.

He's gone online, he's found it, he's downloaded he's put it into the system for us so that when we show up, we can just kind of see what's there. Robert, you're awesome at what you do, man. And I've text you you. You make our lives so much easier. Thank you for all you.

The only reason he's part of it is because I got a picture with his mom. And Mrs. Germany was very excited to see it. We had all the time. She looked at the universe when she was saying. She was very excited. There's some similarities here. Look at all. Oh, good.

Shoot. Yeah. It's a disruption before. Thanks. I'm never. My mother to youth people. And we've had some unbelievable partners, not quite from day one, but pretty much right there. And they're in the room.

So Austin and Peter and McLeod Law have, you're the reason we're here. You're the reason we get to do this goofy stuff is you have our back. We love you for it. Thank you, McLeod, law. Love you. We thought there are the other Peter Klein, but it's fine. We'll take you. Internal hearing loss clinic, everybody.

Austin, hey? I don't know. I'm not sure what you do, but yeah, Austin, yeah. Nice having me. We got to talk about Survivor Series, too. We got to get into that. Hey, the OTC, what do you think? I'm not sure about this bloodline.

Is the Rock coming back? The Rock has to come back. That would be awesome. Well, then the shoveler's going to be there. Good fan. No, it's for the Rock, not Jake Allen or Josh Allen. And from where I sit. She can swips to wrestlers and football.

We're a big fan. And last thing, while we're getting romantic about it. You're welcome, Dean. I know I've committed. No, I'm not talking about you. I'm not talking about you.

This guy to my left, I don't even know what to do with him. He drives me crazy. I'm super thankful for him. He's hard work and he puts in the time. I know. He's good at what he does. He's the perfect foil.

I'm not. I never agree with him. He makes me want to, like, bite my own nose if I could somehow do it. It's impossible. But he is, there's only one Ryan Pinder. Thank God. Thank God. Him and Bender.

One of a. I don't know how he does it. He always finds the other side of whatever we're doing. No, no, it's not the other side. It's both sides. And whatever side you take, he can flip. Yeah, he's good. doing the straddles for a while.

Okay, which where are you going? North South? Lays it out there. Tell you take one side. I'm making omelets. And if the yokes hang in one side, we flip it to the other. But you're unbelievable what you do. Because it's easy to say, I disagree.

You're wrong. You're stupid, whatever. You find a way to back it up. And it's even as I sit here, it's like, I don't agree with them. But he's got a point. That asshole is. convincing. That's what I wanted my grave. That asshole

is convincing. There's just a grave soon enough. Don't you worry. The more convincing I am. They're still very pleasant red. It's not very nice. You long-armed? Yeah. Me and Kenny Boehner.

I'm a great. So Warner Wednesdays. How did that start? I don't know. It was so good that it couldn't be denied. You're so good. You're undeniable. You can't deny talent.

It's like the NHEL's like Joey Tudorico coming up through the ranks. He just kicked his ass or kicked ass and made his way. That's what you. I'll tell you what it is. I'll tell you. You got to dial in and make things happen. Last training camp for retro. He's fighting in preseason.

He's working his balls off. He needs to make the team, wants to make the team. should make the team. I'm not sure he should make the team. I was really. It might be the end of the road. He's got some joints that need surgery. His best days are behind him.

But he's all hard. And everybody in the room loves him. And he gets let go at the end of the season. Well, I mean, you still got a contract, but you're not making the team. But at the same time, your pride isn't going to allow you to go to the American hockey league. So you're kind of in limbo.

Anyway, we're sitting downstairs. Roger Millions is working for Sportsnet. we're doing intermissions and post game. And we're sitting right outside the flames room. And Roger says, so what do you want to talk about this intermission? And of course, me being the media nerd, well, I think they did some pretty good possession

on that power play in the first period. Roger says to Rhett, he says, so, Rhett, what did you see? Well, can I talk about the time that Kipper was drunk and fell into my Christmas tree? And Rod's like, no, no, no, you can't do that. And I'm doing mornings. I'm like, you can come on my show and you can talk about that.

That'd be frigging great. Really? And then you came in one Wednesday and we did the show. And no one knew what to make of it because you were honest and you said stuff that you just don't hear on regular media. And then you came back the next Wednesday and you did it again and you did it again. what year was that jeez i don't i'm not good at math dean well it was a while ago

when were you wearing the daisy dukes after you didn't make the team in can there was only a zero something nine or something yeah 2010 2011 2009 it's 2024 and we've missed maybe a year when you didn't want to do it well i was really excelling in life at that point yeah really coming together for me Truth's in the pudding, right? Yeah, that's right.
