We are wheels up here on your Thursday, another edition of Barnburner, Flames Nation.com.
There is Ryan Pinder.
There's retro.
And the one and only Rob Ray in the Rob Raymobile headed somewhere as we start things off.
How's the driving, Rhett?
He's got a beat up old shitty pit.
pickup and he drives like an idiot.
Can you show all the things he's got on the little flap that blocks the sun?
I was going to say he's got stuck up there on the sun visor.
All over the dash.
Like a mess.
Jesus Christ.
Oh, my God.
It's so good.
What a mess.
This is like Red's truck.
I like the empty hangers hanging from the hooks.
and shit laying on the backseat.
That is good.
And he took his lawnmower out yesterday,
so at least we don't have to worry about that.
It was in there.
Holy.
That is sensational.
He's,
well,
what did Jamie say he's a mascot?
Something along those lines.
Yeah, maybe.
So where are you heading or coming from?
We just did a wonderful event,
at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute
here in Buffalo.
We went and visited some folks
and handed out some Sabres paraphernalia
talking about
hockey fights cancer.
Let's come and start, I think, next Friday.
Yeah, next Friday.
This Friday.
So, love you, Davy, tomorrow.
I was going to say I saw the,
whatever color you call that,
the mauve or the lavender
on the NHL website as they get into
hockey fights cancer once again.
So how is the mood?
We know how it is with the flames and everything with this show,
and we'll get into that eventually.
For Rob Ray, who's on Sabres broadcast.
How are Sabers fans?
How are they feeling about their team?
I would just say the Sabers fans are Ray Razor right now?
Skeptical?
Excited?
The fans are excited.
Razor, he wants to see a little more consistency,
a little more bite.
A little more bite?
Yeah, it's just a little
sloppy.
Sloppish.
Donnie Granado said yesterday.
It's early and the games aren't quite
up to standard yet.
Look who's in the chat?
Who's going to be the goalie?
Okapeka.
What's the name?
It's Marketer.
Come on.
That night is their number of which goal.
Yeah.
Have you told Rob yet about the deal?
Whoever's got up last night?
Space healthy again.
What deal?
Be buying
Lookin in here.
Okay, shush,
we can't hear Rob at all.
It just sounds like someone mumbling in the background.
You tell him that you're trying to ship Markstrom and Hannafin out there to fix all the problems,
okay?
Get that going.
Yeah, I don't.
Try it.
Trust me.
Working a deal here.
Yeah.
Did you tell Kevin Adams to cut his hair yet, or is that still kind of?
Is that a bad salad?
It's not great.
Yeah.
It's not great.
It's hanging on.
So I guess it's going to,
swing by Hoover's before
you, he drops you off at home?
You know the dog house?
Oh.
Where's the dog house?
We should go to Razors.
We were at the hospital today.
And he goes, I love going to
Razors.
Great food.
All right.
That one guy, Razor?
Big fan.
Big fan of Razors.
Doghouse.
It's called.
Yeah.
He's a bit of a,
I don't want to say,
I don't want to sound ignorant,
but he owns a,
couple houses here.
Some would call it slum lord.
Oh, lawsuits.
Not everyone can back onto a lake,
hey, Rhett? It's just not
going to work out. Not enough lakes in the world.
Well, it's nice. Look at you guys doing some good
deeds.
Shanks and Buffalo, well,
might be there.
Yeah. You were
saying you were whining and moaning and
say that again? You
said you were complaining and Razor
slapped you around and said, don't complain.
We're going to go see some kids of the hospital.
A little perspective, always good, right?
It is good.
I don't know that I feel better about myself,
but I'm less judgment.
I'm less judgmental of others.
That's good.
This show isn't good.
You're, uh, no.
How's the, uh, the 5G service in Buffalo?
Are they up to three yet?
We got a little bit of a down spot.
String going on.
Yeah.
It's a little dumb.
All right. I'll be home in two minutes. Two minutes. Good, then.
Yeah, talk to you soon.
Perfect.
There you go. There you go. You know what we're going to do, though? And I know that, hey, you know what?
Two guys spending some time at the hospital?
Yeah.
A couple generous guys right. Yeah, I think so.
A couple generous guys right there doing good deeds, doing the right thing, helping out giving back.
Just like Crown Royal. Generosity lives in the small things. It doesn't need
money or an audience or even
acknowledgement just needs a few
good people. Crown Royal
Crown everything.
Absolutely.
Good for him. Well done.
That's what Crown Royal is all about.
Yeah. Did I see
Retro's old party crew last night,
Dino? Oh, yeah?
You're gonna generous guys.
Mike Vernon got the big salute from the crowd.
I know one of the liquor brands
with Mike in its name had
everyone in yellow big section right behind the one end big salute standing ovation for the
the hall of famer who's going to be inducted coming up here pretty quick but uh that meant that
a lot of ret's old homies were floating around the dome last night reggie his old de partner
sarchie who did it to him in oh four gosh shame uh staging was there good to see him on top of that
noodles was in town he was ripping it up commie as well vernon himself it was
was a who's who of Rhett's pals last night.
Yeah, yeah.
Good to see the fellas.
And the night continued on, you were saying?
It's at the game and then some venture-
You know, I'm a generous guy too,
so I just thought I'd throw a brown bill
into the Alberta Public Infrastructure Fund
or wherever the casino losses for players go.
So I had to feel the felt didn't go so well.
Oh, hey.
But Cami did pick up a few drinks, so.
That a boy, call me.
Generous guy.
There were a couple that maybe went and tuck themselves in nice and early, though.
The people you thought would have gone home early, went home early,
and the two that you thought would be there at 1 a.m.
were there at 1 a.m.
Good then.
Yeah.
Everyone was playing the part perfectly.
Consistency, predictability.
Yeah.
Don't need any swerves or surprises.
That noodles is a storyteller for the ages.
He's one of the best.
Just like table of people just hanging on every word all night.
beautiful stuff.
Well, the game you went to, I don't know if you caught it.
Yeah.
Flames fall by score four to three for their sixth straight defeat this time at the hands of the Dallas Stars.
Yeah, and they looked better and the result was the same.
And, you know, if you are one cheering for the, okay, this core is not one that you're going to win with,
that's the type of result you can live with.
They worked hard.
It was an entertaining hockey game.
The Stars had more skill, more finish, and they win by one.
although they botched that stupid empty net
with six seconds left when I had the minus 1.5
son of them.
But yeah, Zeri injected a bunch of energy.
I like to see that.
There's some skill there.
He is what they are missing.
That is some top in talent.
And I thought that was a better game from 91 and 10.
The guys that you want more from,
you got more from last night.
And I think Zeri kind of played into that,
especially with, you know, Cadre's line.
Yeah, I mean,
you out shoot them 4630.
I don't know if you look at,
we talked about a,
last late, the late goals are killers.
Certainly the first one at the end of the first period where Anderson is going off
for a change except he's not.
And then Markham's playing the puck except he can't.
And then it's in their net.
You had a pretty good period going there.
And then you walk in the dressing room tied at one.
It just changes everything.
The whole mood, you work so hard and you pour so much energy into having a good period.
And then one little miscue and a couple of world class players cost you.
And then at the end of the second, it was just kind of,
easy dump in takes a weird hop
bang it's in your net it just takes the steam right out of you
it's funny because like you'd probably say Markstrom's been their best player
this year right? Yeah 10 games in 10 game segment
its numbers are dog shit
yes it's been asked to do a lot and I don't have a problem with them
but it just it tells you a bit about how this group's playing
and even when they do have a good effort like last night there's still just
mistakes and turnovers and, you know, they're not in a spot where they can play a good game
and when they need to be almost perfect when they're going to play a team as good as Dallas or
New York, as you saw on Home Ice twice in the last week and change.
But to your point, if the rebuild, if losing is the goal, then you're happy with it.
Yeah, Elliot had a bunch of notes in his 32 thoughts that apply to the Flames.
You've got an article up on Flames Nation that sort of summarizes those that encourage
you to check it out, but like, Tannav, not close on an extension.
Hanofin talks off.
Elias Lindholm, Flames won't get to a number he wants to get at.
And then Zedorov, I think, is a really intriguing part that, uh, we like big cat.
He's an indoor cat, uh, but he'd be a cat that a playoff team would love to throw on a third
pair because he's big and physical.
Like that's, there's, there's a lot of change that looks like we'll be coming here.
the stuff on
on Hanifan from Elliott is interesting
because again we were hearing the similar sort of thing
right around when Elliott
basically said this feels like it could be announced at any time
yeah we had talked to
to people's like yeah it looks like it's getting done
it's a big number but this guy has decided
he wants to stay in Calgary which then
kind of bled into the conversation okay well why
did his mind change is there a
did he and his agent did they kind of dip a toe into the upcoming market and maybe it's not going to be this big free spending bonanza that everyone thinks it's going to be better take the money when you can um but then something happened and elliot alluded to it in his 32 thoughts yeah it was actually hanafin who pulled back despite the numbers being i mean it was better than what he'll get on july one 50 either at or north of the uh
Devon Tave's deal, which is seven in a court.
It's big money.
It's 50, 50.75 million.
So interesting that he does, that he does step back and does he do him a favor here.
Is it unfortunate?
Is it, no, it's great.
I think it's perfect.
It makes sense for him.
If you see the direction that we all are starting to arrive at that this team needs to go in and probably will go in,
not because they necessarily wanted to, but.
because of being forced into it,
why do you want to hang around
for the rest of your prime in that environment?
Don't you want to win?
Everyone wants to win.
Some guys are obsessed with it.
Some guys,
everyone likes it more than losing.
And they're going to win not a lot in the next two to three years
if they're tearing this thing down a bit, right?
If you're shedding a Lindholm,
a Tanev,
a Zedorov,
like what's Tannafin hanging around for?
Well,
but that you knew that was probably happening anyway.
What happened over the course of three, four days?
I think the players show up and they think they're good.
and it's, you know, we're back,
Daryl's gone, there's fresh air,
everyone's happy,
and now you have two wins in your first 10 games,
it's like, okay, now I think I know the path.
I think two weeks ago he thought he and Lindhol might be back.
I don't think he thinks that now.
Is that fair?
I think they were,
they were already into the season when this story started to circulate.
But it's only three, four, five games,
and now it's like, okay, it's 10.
Maybe we aren't competitive as, I guess so.
I just, I mean, I would think if we want to talk about intelligence or honesty,
if you're, I'm almost signing, hey, we've got a deal.
I'll get my pen and I'll meet you in 10 minutes kind of thing.
And then three games later, you're like, oh, no, I'm, I'm out.
That's a big life decision to do a complete 180 over the course of three games.
Yeah.
And I think it probably things take place over weeks, not days.
And that as the sample can.
continued to get bigger, it was like, oh, we're not a playoff team.
Never mind. You know what? Pump the brakes a bit. Maybe I leave
five to ten million on the table, but I can go to a contender.
Then, and you get just a little taste of it last night,
you get some youth injected into a lineup.
And it can be easy to be deceived by it and you go, oh, you start.
But man, turning over our roster isn't always a bad thing.
No. It's not always a bad thing. And you saw Zeri come in and he exceeded my expectations.
I didn't know what to see. I know we always talk about put him in a position to succeed and give him some guys to play with.
And Huska did that. And yeah, was it a lucky goal? It goes, you know, bangs off of his pants and then he's standing there in the blue paint.
Probably you or I can bang that in, chances are. But it was beyond that. He had another great rush where he almost scored again of the great safe by Audinger, had the goal, brought energy. And I think, Rhett talked about it last.
night and if he were here,
um,
brought some,
brought some life to the building,
brought some life to the bench and the team.
You could see that the guys around them.
You saw Haniff and,
and,
and,
and Codry and those guys,
they were happy for him.
And that's what it can do sometimes,
is it's not just about having the young guys in there,
contributing.
It's about what they can do for some of the older guys.
It can bring a little bit of youth,
the fountain of youth to them and injects
a positivity in life in those guys,
as opposed to just,
having a collection of older guys
who are just kind of running out of
walk on contracts. And so there's energy
and we saw it with Walker Durer last year when he got called
up and by the way he's MIA, we need to find
where Walker Duer's been hiding. We haven't
yelled, Buccaneer at all this season
and we got to get back on that, but that's a note
for later. What it also is, it's not just
the energy, it's like
who else can make that play where he
goes in and, you know, slides by
a D and walks in and nearly
scores on odds. Like how many other guys on this roster
can make that play?
He's a high-skilled player.
He's a first-round pick.
He's a guy that is putting up numbers at the American League.
Like, they've got a lot of plumbers.
They've got a lot of guys that you're like,
he's a great third-line winger.
You can play him against good players,
but they don't have a lot of high-end finish.
That's an absolute ad for this roster,
and it's an area that we've talked about.
I don't think outside of San Jose,
there's a team that has less high-end skill than this one
because it's like even the ducks have a bunch of guys
that are going to score 25.
I don't know that they have a single 25 goal score.
on this team. Yeah, I was going to say who
who leads to this team in scoring
and will it be, how close will it be to 30?
Yeah, man, Japan is probably that guy.
And boy, it's like he would sure look like a second or third
line winger on most cup contenders. He's your best
scoring threat. That is wild how
lacking the top end finishes on this group.
And that's why last night happens. You can play well,
outplay a team, get goaltending, and lose because you don't
have enough finishers. They create enough chances to win.
It can't finish.
I'm curious what the mood is last night,
because it was certainly a different temperature
than the Edmonton game,
where you leave that outdoor game
and everyone's sour.
It sure seemed like it.
Whereas last night you scored some goals
and you had some positive play,
but it's six in a row.
Yeah.
Are you allowed to feel good about a better performance?
Now it's that whole thing.
You're playing a little bit better.
You're probably going to get that win here
at some point in the near future.
but if six becomes seven or whatever,
it's not early anymore.
No.
If you are going to be able to absorb a six-game skid,
you've got to go on a run equal to that
and beyond to get into the playoffs or to be there.
I just don't know,
I don't know what the mood around that team would be right now,
despite having a decent effort last night.
It's still a loss and it's six straight.
Yeah, I think it's probably a similar vibe to post-rangers game,
except it's been another week
where you haven't won since then.
So not great.
And here's the thing.
The players are the ones that believe the most, right?
In that room, they look at each other and say,
we can still do this.
Like, you hear them talk,
it's still, you know, we've got time.
We can still do this.
We've got to start playing better.
They still believe more than fans quit,
media members, even brass ownership.
Everyone else thinks this team is out before the players as well.
That's just the nature of being the athlete,
not someone watching the sport.
But they're starting to realize
the odds are against us here and we got a big hill to climb.
We have two wins in 10 games.
Yeah.
Like there's one team worse than the NHL at this point.
It is, it is here.
It is the Wendy's daily face-off survivor pool.
We kicked it off yesterday.
Wow.
And, you know, it's nice to get on a run.
You get a win.
Then you add another.
Then you add another.
How it works is you go in every day.
You make a pick.
It'll give you a selection.
a box there, you pick one of them.
If it comes through, either that team gets a win or that player gets a goal or a point,
whatever the scenario is, you get it, you're alive for the next day.
Then you try and make it three in a row.
Then you try and make it four in a row.
You're surviving.
Wendy's will reward with weekly prizes that have you savoring the taste of victory.
Go to daily faceoff.com, sign up today.
Maybe you pick up a new barbecue bacon cheeseburger from Wendy's.
Apple would smoke bacon, crispy onions, cheese.
melted over the fresh, never frozen Canadian beef.
Get after it.
It is the Wendy's Daily Faceoff Survivor pool.
Again, DailyFaceoff.com.
Start playing today and be a winner.
We were winners yesterday, had the Jason Robertson over half a point.
That was an easy one.
I thought that was the easiest one on the board.
And so there are, I think, 10 options a day.
You can pick some teams to win.
You can pick some players to go over or under point totals,
over or under goal totals.
and I've got one today that I think is very high probability.
Mika's been a jet over two and a half shots.
He's done that in all but one game this year.
I'm on it.
All right.
There you go.
Let's go.
Keep the stric up.
Jacko, how are you doing?
Good.
I'm on the same boat.
I also like the Golden Knights to beat the Jets night.
Oh, yeah, okay.
I mean, they're doing a lot of winning.
They like winning.
Yeah, they like winning.
Speaking of winning, did you see the social media for the Dallas Stars last night?
No, I did not.
Cheeky bastards.
Really?
Cheeky bastards.
What are they doing?
They've got their mascot
dressed up as Smokey, the bear
right there.
And the fire danger today was low.
Prevent Flame
Flames W's.
That's someone think that's,
how many hours did you pay someone to make that?
Jackie,
you could whip that up in what?
It would take a while.
That's, you know, yeah.
RJ?
RJ would be pretty quick.
RJ would be quick at that.
That's damn hours.
Oh, there you go.
All right.
Well, not only a win in the standings, but what a huge W on social media.
Zing.
Yeah, they got us.
They got everybody.
Yeah.
Hope we can rebound.
Ouch.
Enjoy our day.
Uh, there's retro.
He's back in the home studio.
Oh, is he?
Oh, yeah.
Ready to roll.
Can't hear you?
Oh, yeah.
No.
No.
No.
This guy, hey.
There we go.
Do I got the robot voice?
No, you're good.
Sound great.
It's great.
It's,
Jack's off mic laughing,
gave it away, didn't it?
You love that off mic laughing.
That always gets you every time.
Yeah, I do.
Because it's, you know, it's real.
Then you know, you've done something.
It's, oh, yeah, get Jack and get Jack in there.
Fuck.
Every day with that thing.
I don't know.
I swear it's more than 50%
with that thing.
That more often than not,
it's robot ret and not,
So real.
Don't say anything.
We'll go full screen and we'll wait to see if it happens again.
Can I talk now?
Yeah, yeah.
He's good.
Okay.
The second time, it always works.
Yeah.
You just need a power cycle.
Which makes Dean correct.
That's 50%.
50%.
So where's your regular gear?
I made a miss.
Rink.
Razor screwed it up because I was going to go downtown today again.
And then I didn't.
Damn razor.
Hmm?
Damn it.
We were discussing the game last night, the 4-3 defeat, and that there are some positive
vibes coming out of that game.
Oh, what?
But there, that it's six straight losses kind of takes away some of those vibes, unfortunately.
Yeah, the good feelings probably don't matter as much anymore.
Yeah.
But you're doubt.
There are six games.
encouraging things that happened, but this league is about results.
There's not the vibes column in the standings.
It's points.
Well, like I said to boom last night, if you have played every game with that effort,
great.
You beat San Luis.
Yeah.
You would have beat Columbus.
Probably get Washington if you close out.
And that's the frustrating part with sports.
guess sometimes.
It happens a lot in the NFL, just when you say a lot of teams.
You think you know what you're watching.
Okay, well, you beat this team and you performed at this level.
Then you should be able to carry it over.
And no.
And I don't know.
So going into Seattle, you guys playing better.
You get that.
You play better at the end of a losing streak.
So you play against Cracking.
Look, they're vulnerable this year.
What are they?
Three, five and two.
All right, go in there and have a hell, have a hell of a game.
I'm not putting any money on that game.
No chance.
Is there a former flame on the Grakken that'll score against them?
That's the one thing I would bet on.
I'll go check the roster.
It is true.
They could be completely flat again.
You just don't trust that they're going to show up and give you the.
So do it.
Feel free.
Yeah.
You go back to Markstrom.
You go to Vladdi Daddy.
What do you do here?
Linar's not look great in two games.
I feel like you want to get him looking great.
They only have two games over the next eight days.
They've got Seattle.
and then they play Nashville before leaving on that road trip.
So it's kind of an extended break here, I guess.
You certainly don't need to give Markstrom time, but it's there if you want it.
Yeah.
And the other thing would be that they also didn't play a lot ahead and behind that Heritage Classic.
There was a bunch of buffer days around that.
Like all of a sudden it's like three weeks with like five games, two and a half weeks with four games.
It's weird.
Not the best.
January 11th, 13th, we are off to Phoenix.
Why wouldn't you come along on a barn burner vacation people?

And I'm like, well, we got, you know, it'll be a few, quite a few people.
It's not going to be like, ah, for some heading guys.
Okay, you got to do top golf.
That's the move.
And if people want to hang out and nurse hangovers of their hotel rooms, you can do that.
You can go find a pool.
Like, you might be.
Yeah, poking his head in down there.
On us.
Has he been hanging out down there at all?
Yeah, yeah, he's heading down for the winter here pretty soon, said.
What a life.
It's quite a life, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, life.
I'm trying to remember when we were talking to him.
He had just kind of given up.
I moved out of my apartment.
I just kind of sold all my stuff.
Yeah.
And moved out, and I'm just kind of, for now I'm just kind of, for now I'm living on my
chick's couch and I don't know, I'll probably go down.
down to Scottsdale for a little bit or rent a place or whatever.
He doesn't need much.
He's, he's very social and like when he's out, he's good at it.
But he's actually, the man doesn't need a lot of things.
No.
He wants to golf and simple, simple life.
Yeah.
So how's Razor?
Tired today.
Is he?
Philly last night, Big Win in Philly last night.
So we got in a little bit late.
You know, I hear about the, you know, the East versus West travel.
They're home at midnight.
Geez.
Playing in Philly.
Right?
Like home at midnight.
You think about how many...
Their beds at like 3 a.m. leaving Edmonton
or wherever their last stop on this Western swing is, right?
Yeah.
The majority of their trips would be 45 minute to hour flights.
Yeah, definitely.
I mean, I'm not a majority, I guess, but there'd be plenty of them.
What would they do to Toronto?
Would they fly?
No.
Drive.
Yeah.
Just hop on a bus.
Easy.
Crazy.
And how long would that bus?
Well, they'd go when there's no traffic.
So hour and a half.
Yeah.
It's really don't.
I figured just every,
you always fly.
That's interesting.
That 15 minute PJ you took.
That's a move.
That was a bad.
Especially if you want to land on that island downtown.
You're right there.
Early designed.
Yeah.
Well, we were talking Elliot last,
I guess last night and this morning,
it's on his 32 thoughts, retro that was talking about.
different things going on that Hanifin was close to a deal and then
Hanofin said no you know let's just hold off uh I don't I don't want that 50
million we're just going to wait and see uh offer made to Chris Tanev but it was
they weren't close on it nothing new still far apart on Elias Lindholm so nothing
there and there was talk that maybe the flames would put a veteran on waivers
to either test the market or shake up the room or something.
I don't know what you accomplish.
I don't think it accomplishes anything.
A whole lot.
It's not from embarrassing a guy.
What are you doing?
A veteran such as a high-end veteran?
I don't understand who else.
I mean,
veteran on waivers.
So it kind of,
there are a number of veterans.
Now, who has a no move close?
Because a no move is.
Uber Dode has.
can't even send them down.
Yeah.
Like, I don't know.
Are we talking about Coleman?
Are we talking about Coleman?
You know what?
I don't mind that the discussions are being had.
Probably Pinders, right?
That I don't know if it does, like, maybe someone would say.
Like, no one's, no one's taking Nazim Kodry to put him on waivers.
You can't put Jonathan Hubert Owen waivers.
And like, where else are you laying this, this, you know, this veteran's been so bad.
Like, it really, I don't.
I'll get it.
I, well, I get it because two things.
If you do it, you basically are,
you've admitted that it's a terrible room and a bad spot.
And there needs to be shakeup and you'll do anything to happen.
God, he's got no move to.
Yeah, I mean, if you're doing it just to,
yeah, unless there is legitimate reason to do it,
in that you need roster space or you know that a team's going to pick him up and it works for you,
then I understand you do it.
But I don't know that either of those scenarios do exist.
And yeah, I feel like that's, and maybe you don't care, but you're damaging a relationship that is maybe irreparable.
And at what cost for public embarrassment and humiliation?
Yeah.
Unless you've talked to those guys and they agree to it,
You know what I mean?
Well, on again, okay, let's go through the list of who it could be.
Well, it can't be here.
We don't know movement clause.
Unless they agree.
Unless they agree.
Unless they agree.
To what?
Go on waivers?
To wave.
Okay.
If you went and talked to them and said, are you happy?
And they said, no.
And you said, what do you think about me putting you on waivers?
And them and their agents said, you know what?
Go ahead.
Like that, it's, it's odd, but it's not beyond the realm of possibility.
Because after that,
who are the other people you're going to put on waivers?
That's a veteran.
Like back and people are within themselves.
They're not world beaters, but they do their thing.
Yeah, like anyone else you're going to trade.
It just, it feels like, and the way Elliot phrased it, it was like another executive.
It's like, it feels like someone's spitballing.
It actually doesn't make sense when you look at the roster.
There is no veteran they can do that too.
The guys you'd want to put on waivers and make an example of or make a statement to the league,
this guy's available, have no movement clauses.
yeah and everyone right but again if but if you've talked to the player and i i think it's
we have not seen it happen i would be surprised if it happens yeah but just because they have a
a clause doesn't mean that they aren't agreeable to it if it's no good if if it's no good down
there and the gm's going to these guys saying i can't trade you i've tried like there's no
That's, yeah.
There's no market.
Are you willing to try waivers?
Maybe somebody would jump on you then.
Now, I don't think that's going to happen either.
But if they're not happy and they don't feel like the team's going in the right
direction, blah, blah, blah, but there's a million reasons.
Again, all those no movement clause, they don't mean shit.
If the team's no good, are you telling me that Kodry and Huberdo are just dying to
finish out the rest of their lives in Calgary?
No way.
No way.
When I hear that snippet from Elliot, my thought is they're going to make an example of a veteran, put them on waivers and send them to the miners.
I don't see it as, hey, we're going to showcase the league that this guy's available.
Nobody wants those guys on those contracts.
Waivers accomplishes nothing.
The other thing it does too, though, Ryan sometimes is when a player is maybe looking for a trade quietly and the GM says, I've tried to trade you, but there's no interest.
And the agent is like, come on, there's got to be, what do you want for, you're asking too much in a deal.
Then a GM will say, okay, I'll tell you what, I'll put them on waivers where anybody can have them for free just the cost of their contract.
And we'll see just how much interest there is.
There's sometimes that angle, too, from a GM who's trying to show just, no, I'm not, I don't need a first round pick for this guy.
There's no interest in the league for this guy.
Yeah.
Again, I'm gone with you.
I don't think this happens.
I think this is spitballing.
But, I mean, there are circumstances like that.
I just don't see that here.
Like, no one is under the assumption that Caudier or Huberdos deals are.
would get picked up. That would be like the biggest life preserver ever thrown in the history of the
NHL from one team to another to get out from one of these two deals. Are you kidding me?
Ah, thank you. Please do it. And at the same point, I just will wrap it up on the Elliott thing.
He said that there is the flames are committed isn't the right word, but they're going to doing
everything they can to make it work for Hubert. Oh. That they're. Yeah, you're, you're spending 100 million
or whatever, like 84 million.
You may as well give every chance you can,
but he has to want to do the same things too, right?
He's got to give it every opportunity to,
I'll try anything.
You're married.
What was his minutes last night?
I can find it for you here.
I noticed them a couple times at least last night.
Yeah, he still turning over the puck and the power play.
Jonathan Hubert, oh, 20 minutes.
20 minutes, two seconds, one shot.
a missed shot,
525 on the power play
and a minus one.
How many TOs do they give them?
You know what? Not bad in the TOs,
Ryan.
Where are we here? Missed shots, hits, giveaways,
zero.
Yeah.
Zero GVs. Again, subjective.
Yeah.
But Darren Haynes, you know, Darren is always good
at putting together the...
Haynes from 80 feet.
Haynes from 80 feet had this on his Twitter account
last night. During the flame six game losing
skid, Jonathan Huberto has just one
point, a secondary power
play assist, and he's minus
11. I don't want to burst anyone's bubble.
It was also on a five on three.
Pinder, why do you have to be so negative?
I'm just adding context.
Well, I mean,
it goes in hand. If Huberto's not going to
score, then the flames are going to struggle as well.
So, yeah, it makes a lot of
sense. It's not ideal. It's not
what you want to see from a guy making 10 and a half.
It's actually probably as bad as it can get for a guy making 10 and a half.
I don't see a lot of Caprizov stretches like this or Ovi stretches like this or, you know.
Matthew's Marner stretches like this.
It's bad.
There was a power play last night where he tried to move it across and it was a blocked pass.
Now, when he should have shot the buck.
Top of my head and I don't have those numbers.
I'd have to even take a second or two.
20 minutes be
hit the season high for him.
God,
because he sure didn't play
20 against Edmonton
or against St. Louis.
I mean,
20 is having your advice, maybe.
That's the point I was going to say.
You and noodles yesterday were talking about it.
Play the shit out of them.
The only time that he wasn't on the ice,
an important situation was
in the last, whatever,
when they were trying to score to tie it up
at the end of the game.
They also stapled the fourth line to the bench.
you didn't see much of them.
There was not a lot of walker-doer.
But that's a good sign.
Oh, yeah, I'm not saying it's a bad thing.
I'm just saying that that is why his minutes would be higher.
They didn't roll four.
It's his highest total of the season.
It's the only time he's eclips 20 minutes.
He had 1906 in the opener.
That was the previous high and his low was 1358 against Detroit.
Oh, yeah.
That's a high water mark.
He's average 17 and a half minutes.
Anyway, you know, just tell Huskin.
Connie, thanks for watching.
Now what advice, now what advice do you have for them to make things work,
breath?
They've tried the play them.
Same thing.
Yeah.
Well, you can't just play them one game.
Is there anything else?
You've got to get.
Honestly, I think you play the exact same lineup and you play it the same way and you
expect the same determination and effort and hope the guys start putting a puck in a net more
and scoring.
I don't know.
I mean, you aren't what you are.
You're not good enough, even with a good effort to be a good team.
Now, there will be nights where you win a game against Dallas, like last night.
But you aren't elite.
No.
You're not elite.
So all hands on deck.
And if you ever wanted to be able to put a guy in waivers to have someone pick him up,
he had better start get 10 in 10, right?
Like, so player the guy, Hubert O, and Kod.
Goddry, don't let him stop to think.
You're going every other shift, fellas.
Go.
I think they might have found some lines last night.
There's a silver lining for you.
I was just going to bring that up, Pender.
I kind of agree.
Because Zeri seemed to give Cadry some pop.
And that's nice to see.
Nazim Kadri doesn't want to be bad.
Just like Jonathan Herodow doesn't want to be bad.
They've struggled.
They're not trying to struggle.
And so when you see him get a little jump playing with a young guy
that's got some pace and clearly fired up for his first NHL game,
it's like, all right, don't split.
those up and then you got a lot of speed on the other
wing with Sharon Golovich and I'm like, yeah,
keep those three together and whether you get Dubay
or Rizitschka back in the near term, you
slide them in where Dryden Hunt's playing
where he shouldn't be in the top nine
on a backland line and then
I'm like, yeah, I would keep Huberto,
Lindholman, Manjapani, your
only threat to score 25
for 30 together. I think
they found lines, fellas.
I think I'm good with all
those lines as long as Dyer keeps up that
energy. He's got to play the same
way. But that's the beauty of it.
If he's not going to do it, put the next
guy up. Who's playing well in the
minors? Put him in there. Put him in.
And Klapka's a guy that would add
some muscle. Like if Walker
Doer is going to be invisible, Klopka's going to
get a turn at some point here. Fourth line winner,
banging crash. You're huge. He's scoring some goals
down there. He had two against Abbotsford
a couple weekends ago in the same game, I believe.
And it's easy for me. You put
hunt on waivers when someone gets healthy.
He'll clear. You can put him
in the American League and bring them back on everything
want and then you have theoretically a dube or rizikka or someone else from the farm that slides in
if zary's still going you keep them going you're missing guys that can make high-end plays he showed
last night he's one of them and the only thing because i agree on all that the only i just maybe
don't need coronado centering a fourth line yeah and you know what coronado doesn't have to play
every night and coronado might be better served with two weeks in the a at some point here i think he
will be better served and that's not an indictment on him no it's fine you'd love him to come
NCAA lost.
Yeah, you'd love him to be a 40-go-old score in his rookie year.
Sure.
I mean, you'd love him to be with Maddie Baneers.
It ain't happening.
That's fine.
You still think he's going to player.
But you know what else?
When Zari slows down, put him there.
Yeah.
Right?
Like, you do.
Yeah.
Little options to move him around.
Yeah.
And I think if we just had Walker Durer and Penn there, but you can rotate some.
AJ Green doesn't have to play every night.
Like, there's, you can have a lot.
You can have a more skilled speedy fourth line if you want.
What about a young, fast speedy fourth line?
Let's go.
Play them all together at some point.
Go ahead.
Like, if you went Coronado, Zeri and somebody else with pace, like, that wouldn't be the worst.
Especially at home when you can control the matcha.
Go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Next home game is, what, next Tuesday against Nashville.
A team that works.
I think you do have to play Vladar at some point.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know if it's Seattle just because you want to get up.
off the mat a little bit, right?
Yeah.
Someone had said it in the comments here and credit to them, but Vlodar might be the vet
on waivers thing. That's the only guy that actually makes sense that is waiver eligible.
Like that could be a thing.
And at 2.2, you sort of said it, Dean, like he's going to have to play really well.
Someone's really going to have to want him and find a way to make the money work.
There's just not people ready to spend 2.2 on Vlodar because you're either a cap dot or
you're not sure how good he is.
That's the shits because, again, I can.
can't decide if it's our own we dig our own holes because we believe so much in our own BS.
Oh, he's great.
He's so good.
The legal one on this, that.
They want him now.
I know.
I wanted him when he was making 900 and something.
I'll tell you that.
There was offers, but he's not making 900 and something anymore.
Because you wonder there too.
Could he fall into that category where, well, we've tried to trade you, but it's hard for teams to find room for a goalie with 2.2?
And then you look, well, L.A. could use a goalie, Tampa Bay.
Like there's potentially some spots.
Not to say that exists, but who knows?
And once you throw in the towel on a season, it's different too.
And I don't think they're ready to do that.
But again, it goes back to, it's the big circle.
Is our owner going to eat money?
Yeah, we'll take Vladar.
Chew a million.
Yeah.
You chew a million bucks.
We'll take them.
And I don't think there's a rush to get Wolf here.
I know people are anxious because he's the top prospect,
but him playing a bunch in the A, like I would think post-dead
line, you're going to see a lot of wolf here. And if you see some before, it might be injury based,
or maybe you do find a way to move another goalie, but he doesn't need to be here this whole year.
He can play his ass off, be great, and come in when there's sort of that wave of younger guys at
the end of the year, and it's not negative Nellieville.
That's the other thing you've got to think about that is what's the mood around the rank?
Like, it's more, it's better for Wolf to play in a positive situation than to come in.
and okay, he gets a win maybe because he's good and this and that.
But the rest of the team's not performing well enough for him.
I mean, he,
you'd love if he was good enough and you're thinking Hall of Fame for him
and he's going to be the answer to all that ails you,
but do we believe that?
We think Wolf's going to come in and get six shutouts in the next 10 games?
The goal is right.
Who knows what he's going to do?
Who knows?
I mean, he might be nothing and he might be the next.
great American bull-tender.
And if he does, doesn't that just make it worse?
Isn't that what Kipper did?
I was just thinking, like, how fun of the show is going to be in the spring when we watch
their draft position slide is all these kids win games in April.
You're like, fuck, Wolf, how do you stop that?
God damn it, we're going to pick eighth, not third.
I wonder for him what, because it's great, it's easy for us to say, hey, just stay there
and win games and play a lot and all that sort of thing.
They're in the same rank.
I do wonder for him in his mind where he walks by the dressing room door on his way down to the Wrangler's room thinking,
I'm good enough to be in there.
Yeah, there's a card to play for Husky here.
It's just, I don't think you play it yet.
And I think Wolf knows that too.
I don't know what it.
I just don't know what it does for your room because, again, I don't think goaltending is being your problem.
No.
No, I just talk about him.
I could be making money.
I need your money.
I could be in.
Patience, son.
New York instead of New Haven.
You know, that's what sort of shit.
Months, not, right?
Yeah. Hearing loss clinic.
You can find them online at hearingloss.ca.
I am a, what do you call it?
Survived.
I'm a hearing loss survivor.
You're a hero.
I'm a hero. I'm a gentleman.
And I am someone who has been to the hearing loss clinic and can tell you firsthand that it makes a difference in your life.
Even now, even knowing what the hearing aids can do.
it'll be a little thing in the morning, or whenever I come in, it's, okay, so I'm, I'm, I'm still surprised every time I put them in.
Because I be like, okay, so take a listen to TV's on or whatever.
You're listening, okay, this is normal, right?
And then you put them in, it's like, yeah, that's, it's still remarkable.
How much you're missing.
And I've said it before, if you're reading a book and you can't see, if the words are blurry, you know that you need glasses.
If there's other things, you may not know what you're missing.
because unless you've had maybe some sort of an accident where there's been immediate and sudden hearing loss, it's gradual.
You don't know it's there.
And then you put these things in and it's kind of a revelation as to what you've been missing.
And these people are the best of the best, locally owned and operated.
They've won awards across the board.
Additional services, they've got custom ear protection for musicians.
They've got those molded in-ear stage monitors.
Men and women of all ages, children can suffer from hearing loss.
serious health risks have been linked to untreated hearing loss.
It's the time.
If you've never done it, take it from me,
hearingloss.ca, book yourself an assessment and get in there.
On social media at the hearing loss on Twitter,
Instagram, the hearing loss clinic is where they are.
A 2022 Chamber of Commerce Professional Services Excellence Award winner.
That's a mouthful.
That's a big award.
It is.
Yeah, it is.
I mean, it is for sure.
The Askrette coming up for Bonton,
somebody asked you a week or two ago about you riding a buffalo
if he had written a buffalo.
He's back with a video to support it.
Anyway, you'll see what I'm talking about.
It's coming up.
But right now it's time for the Pinder Report.
It's a presentation of our good friends up in the Northwest Automal Village Honda.
Huge selection of pre-owned.
It's all about how hard it is to find pre-owned.
You can't get pre-owned.
They've got all makes, all models, all budgets, over 70 units on site,
400 more within the dealership group, make Village Honda,
your one-stop automotive destination in Calgary.
They are worth the trip.
Village Honda online at villagehonda.com presents the Pinda Report.
Fellas, we start with last night at the Saddleon
with the Calgary Flames host of the Dallas Stars.
What happened? How did it go?
Well, two of the savvious minds in the hockey world sat down and talked about it.
Here's a clip from Afterburner last night.
37, right place, right time.
the net, right, right? Went to the net with speed, went to the net with purpose. Yeah.
It's nothing cute or fancy about that. But it's off your teammate, off your pants. But if you're
not in the right place, you're not banging that thing in. And it does make you want more youth
injected into the lineup, doesn't it? Doesn't it? Doesn't it? Like, Zari's been a good
player for the Wranglers for sure. No doubt about it.
But he's not been, like he's not, the rest of the league's not going, oh, we've got to pick this guy up at a trade.
We've got to fleece the flames and see if we can get him, right?
Like he's just a guy.
Yeah.
Like good pick, a solid player.
But they have so much energy and skill.
Please bring him up.
Let him play.
I know.
What do you do with him now?
Oh, what do you mean?
What do you do with him?
He's your best player.
He's your best player.
He was tonight.
He was your best player.
He ain't going anywhere, fellas.
If he's going to play like that.
And yeah, he's up on emergency recall, but you wave a guy like Kent and he can stay, no problem.
I was going to say, that was kind of the thing with the emergency recall.
You have to do a little tap dancing there.
But if it means keeping him up, he deserves to stay.
He deserved to come up and he deserves to stay.
So I never like that message that it sends somebody when, hey, sorry, but, you know, contracts and one-way deals and blah, blah, blah.
It's like, bullshit.
I deserve to be here.
Make it work.
I always hate that message for a kid sometimes when it's the BS of the cap or whatever that doesn't let a guy stick around.
Here's the schedule.
What's coming up?
Trip to the Pacific Northwest, Dino.
It's probably rainy season, but it is a nice rink.
The nicest drink may be on planet Earth.
Well, so they say.
Yeah, it's supposed to be pretty fancy.
We should do one of those trips there when we're done with Phoenix.
That's on our bucket list, right?
Yeah.
And it better had because I'm dying soon.
So do you know when?
is it's kind of like asking
when he's coming home
or when he's flying.
You aren't going to know
until day up.
No, it's like,
let's like Gary Brecker,
Red,
I got to go get my-
Yeah, Dana White's got a guy
that'll tell you
within a couple months
of when you're going to.
Oh,
really?
Yeah.
I don't know if I need that information.
Does you know if like
we're going skydiving and stuff
or is it more like what we're eating?
Skydabbit.
Yeah,
I don't think it has a random acts of
of,
of extreme weather events or stuff like that.
I don't think he takes that into
to the equation.
I think it's just your general health.
On a bull name foo man,
if you're just sit in your house and never leave,
he can get a really good calculation on you.
Oh, okay.
I'll look forward to that on a future episode.
You get them booked for us, right?
Would you?
Here's a look at standings,
at least the way that Flames fans,
I think these days are looking at them.
Let's see, last minute.
Oh, yeah, still a second from the top, boys.
Look at this.
So negative.
Not negative at all.
What don't you like about picking high?
That's positive.
All summer I listened to you too and agreed with you that this would be a great time to pivot and rebuild.
Now it's happening and you're blaming me being negative?
What are you talking about?
This is positive.
This is a great development.
I'm not sure you agreed.
Who is going second overall this year?
Do we know yet?
You got to find out.
Get out there.
You got to say, Connie, I'm watching these kids.
I'm scouting.
Let's go.
Got to find these kids.
I don't want to lie to my friend.
When's that Warner kid?
When's he
What's his draft here?
That's what we need to position ourselves for.
Make sure we're bad in 2026.
And whatever it is.
So we can get Billy Bob Warner.
Don't fill up too many of those D spots.
That's right.
See,
that's why they don't have anybody signed.
How many guys for next year?
Two guys under contract.
Perfect.
Gonna be young.
Gonna be real young.
This guy's arms are so long.
You can't even believe it.
We did an arm measurement.
This is arm.
the chart. We've let him do the sit and reach. We've never seen anything like it. I haven't seen
arms like this since I studied Neanderthals in the 80s. Okay. Let's go to the NHL schedule tonight.
Got some scabs on his knuckles from dragging him on the ground. Other than that,
guys got great, just great range. Big slate fellas. Look at this. Wow.
Dallas is playing again. They're up in the cultural capital to take on the mighty Oilers.
Now sitting at a grand total of two wins on the season. Ack and I on that.
Yeah, lots of good stuff in there.
There's your skid.
One of the guys that won't be paying attention to these games,
specifically in Ottawa,
that's a battle of last year's goalies, by the way.
It's Talbot against Corpusallo, L.A. against Ottawa.
It won't be Pierre Dorian, as he is gone.
Whether he resigned or was fired, here's what happened.
He was the one that bungled the no-trade thing
with Hvgeny Dadanov when they tried to move him
at the deadline a few years ago.
Everyone said, at Vegas,
what a bunch of cheaters, stinking guys, no loyalty.
Stinking Vegas and Vegas said this one is not on us.
Yes, we abandoned Mark Andre Fleury and Nate Schmidt
and we will trade any of you at any moment.
We'll do anything to win.
But this one was not us.
Screw you, Pierre Dorian.
We're coming for you.
And the new owner says, yeah, I'm losing a first rounder
and the Pinto thing.
This has not been good.
I'm angry.
You're gone, Pierre.
Yeah, I like the resigned part.
When you sit with your boss and it's like, hey, we're done here.
Would you like to resign?
Sure.
That sounds great.
I'm going to resign right now.
If you resign, do you get paid?
I think they probably get paid.
I've got your resignation letter here.
Thanks.
Just sign the bottom for me.
Thanks for the resignation.
What is that?
It's your resignation letter.
Hate to lose you, but we understand.
Speaking of Andlar, he is the majority owner of the Sends.
He was the minority owner of the Montreal Canadians.
Now, when you sell a minority show,
share, they have to value the team and then pay you out on what it's worth.
How about a $2.5 billion valuation for the HABs?
Hey, so.
Bit it dough.
Remember the Cowboys were at $2 billion like not that many years ago?
I don't know.
These things are flying.
So here's 10%?
Again, to, no.
To sell is 10%, you need to value the organization.
So this is essentially a current valuation of the, of the HABs is two and a half billion.
So 10% would be $250 million, right?
Well, I don't know that that's how I read that first statement, but okay, I was going to say.
You tell me, Math, man.
What does it tell you?
Sold his 10% minority interest in the Montreal Canadiens at a $2.5 billion value.
It just sounds to be like they're saying the 10% is valued a $2.5 billion, which is clearly not the case.
That's right.
And I do see how that's worded misleadingly.
But it's a record valuation for the HABs.
and we saw the as it goes on there that the leaps in that whole MLSC conglomerate was recently
valued at eight that's that's a lot of bees holy moly it's a lot of bees everywhere you go now
right have you noticed that there's so many things that are bees yeah I don't worry people
are finding all these bees all of a sudden to pay for these things yeah well how did the bees
come about because I remember being at my house on Madison ab saying just talking to someone
saying that's a bee that's a bee not an am
a B and now everyone's got B.
Apparently. Christ, I can't
still looking for these M's. I need a T. I need a T.
You don't have any M's?
Ems doesn't get you anything.
Can you buy a WMBA team? You can't buy M's or they're no,
they're nothing. No. You should see some of the valuations on some,
I think a WMBA team was valued at 200 million the other day like,
what? What? It's like,
a Montreal Al-Owant's got given away for their debt.
and the WNBA teams are
200 million.
The hell's happening out here.
Wild.
Have you seen some of the shit
that Mahomes has bought into?
Yeah.
He bought into the Royals
that he's like baseball teams
and WNBA and all this.
It's just unbelievable
how much dough there is.
I don't know,
I know he's making a lot of money.
But goodness gracious.
Well,
when you can plan it out,
you're going to make.
Barnburn.
Yeah.
Apparently,
you want to get in on Barnburn.
Planning. Financial planning. I really have been mismanaging my 28K a year.
Well, we think we can get you six and a half to seven percent this year if we just, you know,
you've got to be patient and follow the market and we'll get diversified.
Hey, I know it's been a bad few months, but we just got to stick with it.
It's got to be patience. We just don't want you to get upset or.
Are you getting paid?
Yeah, I'm still getting paid.
Yeah, you're getting yours, though, right?
That's right.
We're working real hard at this, and we're monitoring the situation.
That's what we need.
We need some financial advisor to sponsor the show.
Yes.
You don't want to bet against the market.
You're doing a good old man, Rhett.
This is good stuff here.
It's almost as though you're living this.
Yeah, weird.
Yeah.
Matthews is working on his first B.
This is going to help. This is going to help.
He's making more money. Look at this.
Now, is this good or is this total shirt?
This prime drink. Jack, we go to you. We go to the Jack Cam.
He's our inside. I can't support it.
It's that Logan and Jake Paul bullshit.
Can't get behind it.
Yeah, I feel like this is super corny.
And the drink sucks.
Well, Austin's got to find that lost revenue.
He's not allowed to be on gambling ads anymore.
Then it's Chelsea can't do that.
We can advertise.
Paul brothers are, they're geniuses.
They're Richards.
You know what, though?
They're not, that's just it.
They're not geniuses.
I don't, well, maybe they are, but they just say stupid shit, which is,
they know what moves the needle.
Yeah, they're like the Kardashians.
It doesn't mean they're good people.
They know what to make life.
Well, I'm not saying they're good.
They're good at business.
Yeah, no, it's funny on that.
They figured it out.
They got it.
They got bees, don't they got bees.
Yeah.
Well, you know what they don't have?
They don't have a great house in Auburn Bay or wherever you live just to chill out in, right?
Look.
They don't have a base with something.
Relax a little bit.
You send them a note and say, fellas, take it easy.
Hey, fellas.
What are you doing this whole leaving your house bullshit?
Calm up.
You do things right.
You'd be like this guy right here.
How do you have a nap and snuggle your two dogs if you're not in your house?
Come on, guys.
Figure this out.
Fellas, turn the fireplace on.
Fellas, what are we boxing?
No, napping.
Come on.
Yeah.
Where are you going?
Abu Dhabi.
Oh, jet leg.
It's a long flight, Dean.
Too long flights, probably, to be honest.
Radiation.
Yeah, 10 down.
Radiation, constipation.
All I need is right there.
DoorDash and Crown Royal.
I'll get you through.
A couple shots here and there.
DoorDash brings everything to your door.
Live like boom.
If you lived in Greater Dallas, Dean last night,
you would not have left your house and you would not have been here.
year with other people from Dallas.
Because, yeah, the championship was awarded.
It's a World Series title for the Texas Rangers.
And I can't wait for the World Series to start because I'm really going to watch it this year.
I want to get into it.
Yeah.
I love fall baseball.
There's nothing better than hanging on every pitch.
Best time of year.
This is AI.
This is from the future, right?
Yeah, I'm sure this is what I'll look like.
This is what's going to happen.
if the rangers somehow win the World Series whenever it starts.
And that's Rett's team.
He's been following since day one.
What do you think of their skipper, Rhett?
I've been following these guys since that idiot Nelson Cruz
dropped the ball against the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series.
What a clown.
They would have won then.
That guy had a clue and paid attention.
Take that, Nelson.
Yeah.
Dummy.
If it happens, you name your kid, Nelson.
You're going to have dumb shit like that.
Nelson Muntz.
So that was that guy's name?
I don't know.
I don't know who the skipper is.
Is it Bruce Bochy?
Out of boy, right?
Out of ball!
Let's hear from him.
Let's hear from him.
I'll tell you what.
I've seen some things,
but what you guys did to do this
is truly incredible, man.
I'm just honored to ride with you to win
11 straight road wins.
You guys just wrote history.
Yes.
Congrats, world champions!
Yeah, Grappin needs a towel.
That's a good stuff right thing.
That is the worst speech I've ever seen for the champion.
This is from the Jomboy social media account.
He appropriately said they were deleting beers last night.
Just erasing beers from the face of the earth.
Look at those bins.
Well done, fellas.
done.
And you know what?
I don't have many feelings towards the Rangers.
It's not that group that you shook your fist at
that had gotten the Ravers of the Blue Jays.
Loved Marcus Simeon.
That's maybe one of the classiest dudes you could find in the majors.
Good to see him.
Sure.
They used to be one of those teams.
Hey, there was big spenders.
Everybody hated them.
It used to be.
Well, I mean,
they spent $500 million on two Sim, middle infielders.
that's half a B.
Yeah, it's a half B on second and short.
These frigging bees.
I can't keep up.
There's a whole many bees.
There's cut of B in half.
Sybian and Seeger, you split that up.
Road Warriors, baby.
11 in a row.
They're the greatest.
They are the best in the world.
You owe me.
We did have a bet.
It's true.
What do I owe you?
Not you.
Boomer.
Boomer owes me 42 Nugs.
Yeah, there it is.
We'll see you on the 16th, Dean.
We were talking about.
that last night.
And we're highly anticipating.
This is an open invite.
I'm heading there tomorrow to shoot a little content to build the hype for this thing.
But you,
people on the YouTube's or the Spotify or the Apple or the Amazon or wherever you're
getting your podcast,
you are welcome to join us at Greta on the 16th to watch me probably vomit in a
public place, 18 plus only.
And my take on it was,
if it's true to form,
you will be able to do it
relatively easily
and just make me want to punch you in the face.
Just to disappoint me
and make me hate you even more than I already do.
42, if you got any...
Hey, guys, you got any more in the kitchen?
I'm starving.
Come back.
I remember all the hearing boom one time
and it was like, he was talking about me.
The twins were young. He's like, yeah, I don't like it.
He seemingly, it's going okay.
And I really wanted this to be a disaster.
I'm how he's surviving.
He's handling it.
I don't know how he's handling it.
There's only one way this ends poorly for Pinder,
and that's if,
oh,
what shows up and scolds him for being an idiot.
That's enough for two months.
I just think, you know,
put some hot sauce on there,
at least make it a challenge.
Because we know you like hot sauce.
Love hot sauce.
Yeah, you do.
Yeah,
you must have been really happy
when I was stuck in the shitter
in Porta Viarda for three days.
Finally,
I made you happy in life, right?
I came up.
still even remember what you're talking about.
Who came a check on you?
Who came a checked on you?
Yeah, thanks, man. Love you.
Football tonight. Happy birthday, Jack.
Happy Steelers' loss on your birthday night.
Football, Jack.
Well, maybe not. It's Tennessee. We'll see.
There you go.
A couple of 22s going head to head.
Jack, how are we feeling?
Happy birthday. How old are you?
25.
25.
25.
Here's exactly what will happen.
The offense will play like shit.
Yeah.
Matt Canna will dial up shit.
Yeah.
Can he pick? It will miss throws.
The receivers will drop passes.
Run the wrong routes.
Cam Hayward's back, so their defense should be a little bit better.
It should be a low-scoring game.
And Pittsburgh wins.
Okay.
There's five.
The kids, aren't you not even old enough to consider yourself a Drew fan.
Right.
He's at, his brain just became an adult.
You told us the 25 of the brain.
Today, Jack's brain entered adulthood.
And probably not quite because the amount of dope and booze that you've put into yourself has delayed.
Is he a doper?
It would explain a lot if he wants.
Jack, are you a doper?
No.
No.
Are you a dimer and a, are you a, are you a Hooper and a dime?
A doper?
A dimer.
Jimmy Gropolo just lost his job to a rookie quarterback.
But don't worry.
The social media team still said, happy birthday.
join us all in wishing Jimmy girl happy birthday we just took your job way if you could just
happy birthday Jimmy here's a clipboard yeah and that ball actually give that to Aden okay very good
yeah still making 20 probably oh yeah no so much money he's been paid so much money yeah
again money in pro sports you've heard it here first folks really look into that a lot of money in
pro sports.
Frankfurt, Germany.
We'll be hosting an NFL game
this weekend. Nice and early on Sunday.
You must love these early time slot
games, the European slot.
Do you know, 7.30 kickoffs?
Yeah, I've been up for hours by then.
Well, you're ready. That's right. You only wait another
three hours for a football game. Three and a half even.
This is a boat on one of the rivers or channels in
Frankfurt.
And it's got the cheese.
That's in Eustenstein.
No.
No, that's not correct.
It's in Frankfurt.
Dusseldorf.
Also not in Frankfurt.
That's coming up Sunday morning.
Excited about that one.
Why did you show the boat?
Because it was the chiefs?
Yeah, they're getting excited.
They're hyping people up.
Is it safe to say that Frankfurters were born in Frankfurt?
I would think so, yeah.
I like that.
Is it different than a Bratworth?
I assume it is, yeah.
That's Batavia.
And what about?
schnitzel. That is also German.
German schnitzel.
You need to get over there. You get some Bavarian food and you.
Frank Furtt hers.
Let's hear from Marshawn Lynch.
Jack threw this in the folder. Don't know what it is.
Haven't seen it, but it's Marshawn Lynch. It's got to be good. Let's go.
Hey, watch how I hit these high steps with these things.
Anybody tripping on this?
What's the name of the boat?
It doesn't have one.
Oh, God.
This dope as shit, bro.
I heard y'all got big, big blammy on here, big cannons, big cannons.
Do we want to fire these?
Yeah.
Captain Black Sparrow.
Little bit talking about some,
ha ha, ha, ha.
And then what I got to hold this one?
Yeah, and then I hit it.
Mm-hmm.
Yep, it does that.
And he bust it.
I lost my wig.
One, you know, that's it.
Man, I lost my iPad trying to bust so much.
Welcome to Tampa Bay.
Captain Beast Mode in your city.
I can watch Marshaun,
unless do anything all day.
He is,
and you know why the media
always wanted to talk to him.
It's just he never wanted to talk to the media,
because he's...
I'm just here, so I don't get fined.
That guy's funny as shit.
He is.
Doesn't mind,
he should be on the pod.
He can swear like Tosie Brad.
Is he a doper?
Dimer?
Dimer.
He's a doper?
Is he a hooper, a dimer, Jack?
Do you know if he's a doper?
I don't know if he is.
I thought he was.
I thought he got shit for that.
Yeah, he probably did.
NFL doesn't care about that anymore.
But he's hilarious.
Jack Mad now, he can't talk to us.
He's pissed off since he called him a doper.
For a new birthday?
Raptors say screw you, Rhett.
Big win over Milwaukee.
Look at this.
Wow.
Scotty B.
Look at that face.
Defense.
In advance.
We go to the Jack cam for instant analysis.
Jack, what did you see from the Raptors?
They liked pretty good last night.
They killed them.
Chris Middleton on the box says he is terrible now.
See, he's always someone terrible.
He's like Anthony Davis, terrible.
Chris Middleton, terrible.
Dennis Froder is really good.
Matt Canada, terrible.
He's always, someone's terrible every time we go to Jack.
The thing is, I don't know who Chris Middleton is.
So it was good before?
You're not a hooper.
Yeah.
Fear of the deer, Rhett.
Yeah, I won a world championship.
With the Greek, great great.
There's a lot of people that win world championships
that don't contribute anything.
Okay, more hoops, since we're in Rett's wheelhouse right now.
They'll play again tonight to the Raptors.
Who's going to be terrible tonight, Jack,
as they take on Philadelphia at Wells Fargofferson?
Jack.
Drew L. Embed, he'll be terrible.
It'll be terrible.
Terrible. Terrible.
Terrible.
We got some Viz.
I believe this is one of Rett's kids.
teenage boys are idiots.
We talk about it all the time.
But they do pick up some skills along the way.
So let's watch this is one of Rhett's kids, I think, in downtown Buffalo.
Beautiful.
It's called a manual.
Is that right?
We're using it.
Yeah.
A pump it.
Oh, you got it, dude.
He's killing it.
Wow, that's pretty good.
Oh.
Oh, Rhett.
Son.
No.
We don't have dental down here, buddy.
What about cranial?
That's right.
Oh,
do we don't have dental?
Do we have skull?
We have skull coverage.
Jesus.
I can't watch that again.
Now,
this is the view from Rett's backyard.
As we've seen,
he looks into Rob Ray's backyard,
and Razor is having a party.
The tunes were going,
and he was getting into it with someone here,
having some fun.
This is great stuff.
Oh, Robert.
He can't be dropping people.
You know,
what do you get oh the moms from the neighborhood come over and raises trying to show off i know
yeah no i hope debby's okay that's a big fall right on the spot what okay so from this point what was
the goal go off the diving board so you've got you've got uh sweetie up on the on your shoulders
debby yeah debby up on your shoulders so then you're going to go on to the diving board
to snap it?
Like, what is the...
Why would it snap, Dean?
What do you say?
I just don't know if what the scenario would be...
Didn't really get close either.
Yeah, where it would end to be like,
okay, that's exactly how we wrote it up.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, it's Rob being a show off.
Hey, Rhett.
He doesn't think things through.
Lots of tatties on Rob.
I didn't realize.
Yeah, more ink than I thought.
Inked out.
It's a rough MF.
Uh, that's your Pender Report.
Full of rough.
I hope your kids okay, Red.

You go to some pubs.

Did you go to the grocery store and just grab some shit out of the freezer aisle and fired in a deep freezer or a deep friar?
This is gross.
You've fried frozen shit?
No thanks, Dean.
Full entrees.
Some of the best pizza, maybe the best pizza you're going to have in the city.
They make that dough and signature sauce fresh every day.

What a day.
get ready here for Ask Brett.
Are you feeling it today?
I always feel it, Dean.
I watched Afterburn it last night.
I didn't think you were feeling it last night.
You almost passed out there, I thought.
Wow, the questions were boring.
Yeah.
Oh, is that the show where Dean interviews you?
That's After Brenner?
That is, yeah.
It's kind of like this show.
What's the how would you?
What's this show?

Bonton Meatmarket.com.
Greg Keller,
another OG.
Get some OGs.
Another OG with Barnburner.
God love you, Gregory.
Let's do a little bit of Ask Red.
This is a long one.
I don't know how much time you got.
Oh, boy.
A novel.
It's from Nick.
Hey, retro.
Years ago and you in the Flames
almost won the cup, that wonderful O-4 season,
and the city had a welcome back parade type deal
to celebrate how far you guys made it.
I was 11. My mom let me skip school
and she took me down to celebrate.
At one point, you guys were in Old City Hall
on the balcony, waving and shit.
I threw my white no-name number nine Flames jersey up
hoping someone would sign it.
I was wondering if you remembered
because being the gem that you are,
you signed it and threw it back down for me.
That was my first ever autograph and fucking AI was stoked.
was a big fan of yours before that and even more so after.
Thanks for that.
I cherish that memory.
I have a five and a half year old daughter that is in her second year of hockey
and she seems to be as big of a flames fan as I am.
I told her the story while listening to a podcast of yours.
And she's a big fan of yours now too.
Only regret I have is losing that jersey.
Oh, sad tale.
Do you remember that no name number nine jersey being thrown up there?
you scooped it and fucking A, you signed it and threw it back down.
I don't know that I remember the jersey specifically,
but I certainly remember the day and when we were there
because I didn't want to be there.
Yeah, you were sourpuss.
I was pissed.
I was so bad.
Peter, I wasn't going and Peter Handling like called and begged.
You need to go.
I'm like, I'm not doing this stupid.
I was upset.
And why were you a so upset?
Well, I lost three, three Stanley Cups.
I didn't think it was cause for celebration.
And you got screwed in Game 6.
Kind of.
Just to that.
Is it game 6 in Buffalo 2?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, man.
Nick, Nick says, if you don't remember, that's all good.
Oh, thank you, Nick.
Phew.
I was working.
I have a second question as well.
Oh, Jesus, Nick.
Oh, no.
What is one thing you think that is essential to keep the fun in hockey for young players like my daughter?
so far so good in regards to her having fun.
But if there is one thing you'd recommend that I can do to help keep her interested in having fun, thanks again, Nick.
Five, six years old, let them play not hockey games, but games on the ice.
Yeah.
Every practice, let one or two kids pick a drill.
They're on the ice.
As long as they're moving around, they're learning.
Tag, asteroids, things like that, right?
What would be a fun drill?
Just like Pinderset.
Yeah, our kids always like you go on the sideboards with pucks
and they'd skate the length of the ice.
You'd try and shoot Pucks.
Star Wars or Asteroids or British Bulldog.
Sure.
There's all kinds.
A freeze tag is a good one too.
Yeah.
Toilet tag.
We call toilet tag.
And they like it when they can make the coaches skate.
Yes.
That's another thing.
If you can tag the coach,
you've got to be able to skate.
Plus,
lot of times you will take out a kid in that game.
I was going to say, you're going to take a coach's
knees, you're going to land on someone else. That's
high risk event there. Yeah.
This is from Garrett.
Hey, Rep. With all the negativity
and losing around the flames lately,
do you think the pocket dogs will stay up
two to one or will they finally lose a game?
After all, the dogs have never lost.
Curious around your thoughts on the dogs this year.
The dogs are battlers. They will battle.
The dogs have been holding that lead for a while.
I tell you what, you want a team company and take games.
You want the dogs.
Yeah.
It's true.
I don't know that I've ever seen them down.
I did research last night.
It's still two one dogs.
Did you really?
I went with the regular with just mustard.
I should have out of the cheese whiz.
Oh,
and what was the scores?
There's still two one.
Two one.
Holy shit.
That's unreal.
On the cliff.
They're hanging.
That is a great question.
They know how to play at the least.
lead. God, someone working in the dog stand there's got to go chat with Huska.
Talk about comfy and tight games.
And never wobbling.
It's only one goal lead.
They're fine. They're good in their skin.
Yeah, they're comfortable.
Just play our game. We'll be fine.
Yeah.
Just need to play our game. That's right.
This one is from John.
Now last week, October, yeah, so last
last week, John came in. Hey, Rhett.
Have you ever ridden a Buffalo?
Thanks, signed John. And your answer was no.
you've never ridden a buffalo.
You live there, but you've never ridden one.
John's back.
He says, hey, Rhett, thought this was you, my mistake.
Thanks, John.
He thought he had some video evidence.
Maybe, Rhett's a liar.
Who knows?
Thought this was you on this buffalo.
Let's hang along.
I've got that shirt.
Well, that's what?
That's why it's you think, man.
One day the guy on the buffalo hopped off to stretch his legs.
Walk in the
Beas in the weeds
It's a baby
Awesome
You put it in a saddle
Hopped on
Humped it up a hill
And a river
Not gonna happen man
You're riding on a buffalo
Remember
But keep the baby
Up blow
Get your guy on a buffalo
She's a fan man by yourself
Guy said I got this
I don't need you
Buffalo
It's just a bubble
Cats
Hey
Hey
I thought you loved cats
No
That's an outdoor cat
That is not passing safety standards.
Now, is there a chance that you'd forgotten and that is you?
I was going to say, you've got some explaining to do because clearly, I mean, come on, I've known you a long time.
That's up by Elk Ridge, I think, on that, but I've seen those places.
Hey, lady.
You want, you want, baby?
She's even than adoption.
I don't know what the fuck it is.
I can love it.
who puts that together.
I friggin love it.
I don't know that we can follow that.
I still haven't rid the bus.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, no, I've never ridden a buffalo, though.
See, that's why Greg is comfortable spending his hard-earned marketing dollars with us,
because we're bringing to you an incredibly thorough, intelligent conversation, like a guy in a buffalo.
I have been attacked by cats before, but not ridden buffaloes.
Kind of cat. Cougar. Cougar got you there.
Wildcats.
That's right.
I go triangle.
Hey, Rhett, did you dress up for Halloween this year?
No, I didn't even get to hell.
Yeah, it was a lamp.
Right.
That was lame.
Okay, Cannon.
No, I was, I mean, I actually did get dressed up at some point.
You didn't go out with the shovel or to a party.
You know what?
No, I didn't even get home.
I got home and the house was empty.
There was nothing.
On Saturday?
No one had a Halloween party?
Nothing. People hate each other. COVID.
You and Rob Ray should have a party.
People hate each other.
COVID.
Got it.
There's no following man on a buffalo.
No.
I've decided that's going to do it this week for Ask Brett.
Bontan meat market.
Go and say hi to Greg.
Have the potato salad.
Get yourself a nice.
It's Thursday.
What are we got here?
Let me check you.
We're going to be grilling this weekend, retro.
Give me a quick thought.
You're going to Bon Ton today or tomorrow.
Grabbing some goodies for the weekend.
What do you recommend?
I want the beef ribs.
Saturday high of seven, Sunday,
five, five, six, seven degrees, daytime highs.
Big, massive, juicy beef ribs.
Do they have buffalo at Bontas?
Oh, yeah, you'd be able to get some buffed.
Peebs, senior is asking.
Don't go hunting by yourself.
Just the deer, man.
No deer, no buffalo, but just the,
the best Alberta beef and more.
Bontan Meat Market
OG on Barnburner
28 crowfoot circle in the
Northwest. I bet they do
have deer in Buffalo. They probably do.
They've got the bow ties.
Got the aprons all tied up.
Hey, Red.
Do you see Dean's new attire?
I did notice
the
this is what.
Very sharp.
Very good.
I still can't see anything.
Look at that.
I'm pretty sure I know what it is.
Yeah.
Our beer buddies, they got some swag for Dino and you if you ever come back to
To make Dean's life complete.
Next fall, he needs to be out in the Strathmore region on a swather or combine or some seed.
Right.
Like maybe this spring you're seeding.
Huh?
In fairness, the boys did offer it up.
Sterling, they're like, come on out.
Even for you, Ryan, they wanted to bring the boys out.
One day and it was like, ah, I had this kid birthday party.
I was going to take him.
They were going to ride the big thing, the combine.
They, now we're talking about the Sterling family, origin.
You see it up there, origin, malting, and brewing.
We went and had a couple with Mark and Sterling yesterday.
Plotting and planning, Rhett.
Plotting and planning.
You're involved.
Look out.
Yep.
I love when people planned things for me.
Well, this is what you've been asking us today.
You said, listen, if I'm coming back, we've got to do some stuff.
So we had a couple of those homegrown loggers right there.
Oh, that's good.
And they dropped off some, no, I don't know if it's for public details,
but they gave you some of the new stuff that are pender behind you.
They're pretty.
I'm not sure it's for public detail.
Well, I mean, it's already, it's in cans.
It's on the set.
It's public now.
This is the pea flour plum sour.
this is this is an eye-catching beer you see this that this is going to spread like wildfire
you see someone at the bar drinking one of these you're going to want one because it is a plum sour
that's purple it's delicious they say when it's in the pie glass it looks unbelievable tastes
and it's now maybe now how did you characterize it if if you like sours you don't oh god
if you have a good sour you like a sour if you have a shitty sour you don't like sours and it's
Kind of like when we, like, 20 years ago, you're like, oh, tequila is brutal.
It's well, because we were drinking shit tequila.
Now you get good tequila.
You're like, tequila's fine.
This is a good sour.
I encourage people to try good showers.
And there are quite a few that are popping up around Calgary.
This, the latest add to the repertoire, the pea flour plum sour from origin.
Love the name.
Our homies.
You don't have to be grimace to have a purple beer.
No, you don't.
You're good.
And I guess because I was speaking of,
they're a big John Deere.
farm.
Yep.
There.
John Deere's taking them on a bit of a trip.
You know, you're at a certain plateau, a certain echelon when John Deere says, hey, come with us.
Why don't you guys come with us on this, this trip to Europe?
Not to, is he stalled?
He's done, right?
Frankfurt.
Yeah, they're going to watch the Chiefs.
Yeah, they're going to watch, going to have some schnitzel.
But yeah, we're going to be heading out to Strathmore.
We're plotting and planning.
But yes.
What about Europe?
We're not invited to Europe?
I don't think so.
We're not buying enough John Deere, I guess.
I don't think so.
The thing I like about this platform is we can play some stuff that other people can't
or that we couldn't before.
This was one of my favorite clips.
Now, Bobby Knight, legendary college basketball coach, passed away yesterday.
or the night before. Either way.
Is that right?
Yeah.
I was wondering where all this Bobby Knight was jumping on the feed.
That's, wow.
Okay, I'm sorry.
I didn't know that.
And Bobby Knight, he was a fiery guy.
You've seen Bobby Knight for sure.
There was the one classic where he's throwing the chair across the basketball court.
He's flipping out.
Now, in fairness, probably should have gone to some management classes.
Got carried away a little bit.
But as you'll see here in this classic Bobby Knight interview,
You'd never quite know when the snap show is about to come.
Occasion just got moved right out of position and gave up a lot of points.
I feel that we just haven't.
I mean, I'm really disappointed in a fucking progress that we've made.
God damn it!
Fuck this show.
Take this fucking show and forget.
Imagine if you are interviewing him.
You've got your notes.
You think, okay, what my next question?
As he's answering, okay, next I'm going to ask him about this.
Okay, yeah.
You know, I'm just not very happy with how things are going and fuck this show.
So good.
So, yeah, it's a bad day.
This dude's having a bad day there.
Let's do...
What's happening?
Oh, it just looks so good.
It does look good.
That's a good looking can.
Do you want to have one?
Like, I have a workout at one.
Oh, I would like to have one.
And a massage?
No massage to.
It's never held you back before.
That's true.
Weird.
A little bit of DoorDash with what's on the menu.
And you kind of showed us earlier.
There's a lot of the menu.
But let's go with DoorDash.
Ordering Zizi.

So, Lord Dash, but it's on the menu tonight.
Nice 2.5, let's check in.
I got three items for you to queue in on fellas.
Dallas at Edmonton.
We'll see the stars on the second half of a back-to-back.
It was Ottinger beating the flames last night.
We'll see what they do tonight.
7 o'clock start up in the cultural capital.
Toronto at Philadelphia and the NBA.
That's for all the hoopers and the dopers like Jack.
So five o'clock tip off, 76ers and raptors.
And at 615, happy birthday, Jack.
It's the Steelers in primetime, the Thursday nighter they host Tennessee.
It's good sleep.
Yeah, it's not bad.
A little hoop, little puck.
Little pig skin.
Little harm.
Little pig skin.
Do we agree with the Jack assessment that Steelers win this thing?
You know what?
I think it's probably the more we look at the Steelers,
the more you have to think Mike Tomlin's a genius.
Like remember how little drama there was with Antonio Brown
until the moment he left that organization?
And then you're like, you're watching this quarterback who's not great
and they've got injuries.
It's like they're still winning.
Like it doesn't feel like the type of team they'll lose to.
Does it?
The Titans?
How injured is Pickett, I guess?
Jack?
I think he's probably pretty injured.
His ribs are banged up.
He's a tough guy though.
Oh, so tough.
Because he was not going to play.
Really? He's going to play.
Well, the kid at the other end, there's not a lot of tape on either.
What is it?
Will Levis?
Like, he was slinging it last week.
Four touchdowns last week.
So this has some, this could be an entertaining football game.
That's what's on the menu.
Don't forget, promo code nation 25 for 25%
off your first order with DoorDash.
Offer valid only in Canada.
Subject to change, terms apply.
Dash that for the win with DoorDash.
Won't lie to you.
I did take Kenny Pickett into consideration
when looking at my Betway bets.
Ah, I heard Jack muttering earlier today
about Kenny Pickett on some bets. That was you, hey?
Kenny Picket, aren't? Oh, was he unhappy with my
I'm freaking bow
I don't pick it
I'm really dope
I don't know
I don't mind the Steelers I have no
rooting interest in this game at all tonight
but yeah because you're a Bears
you're Bears fan that's shit yeah
and you know how you get a rooting interest
so I don't care about the Titans or the Steelers
you know how you do it
get on the Betway app
get yourself invested
that start cheering for a team we need a little bit
Will Levis or Kenny Pickett
Dickens or, you know, give it.
That's how you get into it.
Nage.
D'Andre.
Sure.
Take a look at my betway bets.
Let's do it.
Both coming from the Thursday night football matchup.
Titans, Steelers.
That's not my friggin bet at all, you bastard.
No, no, keep going, Dean.
Read it out.
Read it out, Dean.
Let's, Tennessee at Pittsburgh, Pickett, over three and
a half touchdown passes.
Well, Kenny, settle down.
Tuck it under your belt.
Minus 150. It's paying
for three and a half and pickings over
a hundred yards and a touchdown
minus 200. This is some
delusional Steeler face shit right here. This is some
BS right here. That's pretty good,
Jeff. That's pretty good.
Those are not my
bets in any way, shape, or form.
There we go. Pick it over
0.5 interceptions.
There we are. Oh, Dean.
One pick pays plus 100?
And on the other side,
it's birthday you do this too.
DeAndre Hopkins had,
what do you have three touchdowns last week?
Jeez.
Soutile down.
Over three and a half receptions.
He's had four or more in three of his last four games,
I think it was minus 175.
It's not a big pay,
but I think that's,
that one's a real, real easy hit for three and a half receptions.
So I missed a bunch of the football last Sunday because whatever,
kids and shit.
But if you were starting Deandre Hopkins,
you're probably in a bad spot trying to fill a flex or something.
And he had three touchdowns to walk about a hero.
That would have won you the week.
Yeah, he went off.
Wow.
And now it's, so what do you got in this Levis kid?
He's not going to be throwing for four every game, but is, is this a good young quarterback?
Or was it one, was it one game?
Yeah.
We saw that with Jordan Love, right?
Hot out of the gate and steaming pile since.
So leagues get, leagues get more tape.
We'll see what they do.
Steelers D won't be easy.
Will it, Jack.
Nope.
Good talk.
Okay.
Here's my job on those.
Oh, I see.
We're going to go with some goal scores.
We're going to stay hot, fellas.
Stay hot.
The cat.
Rhett likes cats.
Love cats.
Got loves cats.
In our cat,
the cat's cat.
Debrinket scores.
He's scoring a lot.
As is Tyler Defolium,
jumping on anytime goals for both of these fellows.
Plus 162 for Debrincat.
And 140 for Toff Dog.
Dove.
Stay hot fellas.
There you go.
It's the Betway bets of the day.
Get that Betway app.
Play along.
Bet the responsible way with Betway.
Oh.
I think we got a lot done today.
Had a hell of a day.
You don't even know this, Rhett.
We, uh,
and we know that Razor kind of, you know,
we know what it is.
You know, he's kind of, he's a sober fella.
But you guys got our,
you're our generous guys with Crown Royal today
for doing some good deeds this morning.
Go to the hospital.
What kind of,
is it, uh, jerseys and stuff or what were you?
It was that we're now the scarves and tukes.
And it was actually touching because there was a girl there
who when I used to have Warner's Corner,
it was called Carly's Club.
And it's a major charity now.
You've heard me talk about Carly before.
Yep.
She was in the hospital when I was playing here and helping out with Carly's
club.
had the suite at the arena in Buffalo,
and she said that was one of the things
that helped her get through her treatments at the time.
So it was a bit of a tearjerker for the old retro.
Oh, boy.
Generous guy.
There's no one way to be generous.
There's endless ways and a crown for everyone.
Crown royal, crown everything.
It'll feel good to end the show.
I like that clink that they do too in that.
I know.
Yeah.
If we got that,
it's kind of putting,
on the spot there, Jack. Have we got the clink?
The clink video? You got the clink?
You guys want the clink? I'd love to hear the clink.
It's on mistake.
It doesn't take a million dollar donation or
name on a hospital wing.
This.
This is where generosity lives.
Soutle.
Yeah. It is kind of subtle.
We're talking about starting flooding soon here.
It's warm in the day, but at night it's getting cold enough.
Rinks are going to be coming soon.
Are you going to proposition the fire department to flood your drink again?
Yes, correct.
Their hoses.
It's a great idea.
Good use of tax payers.
Yeah.
I mean, they're paying them to do stuff.
If they're busy, they can't do it.
If they got nothing going on, they're, yeah, I mean, it's water.
