Oh, boy. Proceeds from the Super Chat go directly to the youth centers of Calgary. But that's up to you. A lot of pressure on the Super Chat. It's a bit of importance. Yeah, a little bit of pressure. A little bit of pressure there. As we get into it here, our opening statements from McClure,

law. We've not been able to have any discussions before the show. We have to save everything for the show because, uh, in fairness, a lot of going on. Cone of silence? Need code of silence. Is it code or cone, Jack? Are you a, we're in the cone?

It's like when your dog's ill, they get the game cone on it. It's a cone of silence. That was at the conch or the conch. Conch shell? Yeah. Yeah. Because the kid was reading that, uh, Lord of the Fly's book and hated it. What's this?

conk thing they're talking them. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Cunky. Opening statements for him a cloud law. I miss Peter Klein. You miss them?

Yeah. Stop in and say hi. Have a coffee. I might just, you know what? I might trip and fall down the stairs just so I can have the workplace gripe. You might get clobbered by a construction vehicle. That's right. Yeah. I might just do something unsavory. Oh, Peter, my ribs.

How are you? I miss you. I guess I got to see Peter. They really should have swept up that loose gravel right there. Yeah. We don't, that's not what you're going to do. But if there's something legit that you need some help with, maybe that,

you know, he's long-term disability insurance guy. I see those insurance benefits. If you're getting the runaround, blues traveler, Peter Klein, McLeoddashlaw.com, whatever it is.

Yeah. Whatever legal assistance or needs you have, there's only one place. Our good friends, Calgary's McLeod Law. I did have to put an acquaintance in touch with Shane for a. Is that right, eh? Dispute resolution.

Yeah. Get some, yeah, dispute resolution. A lie group. Dispute resolution. An unfortunate situation, but he's in good hands. That's definitely. Yeah. And good on you for that's a good friend.

Well, I feel bad for. He's not going to come to him for advice. Yeah. Feel bad. Here's what I do. You go to the judge and you're like, hey, mister. Just just go to. Talker.

Talk your way through it. You'll be fine. Oh, no, that's my bartender, not my lawyer. Sorry. Oh, you know what? His name is also Shane. Sorry. I sent you to the wrong Shane.

No, I got it the right one. You say, screw those bastards. I don't let some of these pricks. Ryan, I'm not sure about your... Really not sure. Interesting legal tact. So, opening statements of McLeod Law. What do we want to start?

Well, first off, you did a great job chatting with Dave Dickinson. That went up on YouTube's yesterday. and I know Rhett obviously was very excited to see these stampeters for the second time this season, belt to ass the Saskatchewan refruth. It's less stingy than it used to be because I'm now appreciative. My good friends down there. I don't know what the name is. I can say that.

Yeah. University Drive, Coach out. Universe. Isn't that little section. They're a good team, Dino. Why are you now appreciative? Because they took real good care of me. I went down there.

watch this stampede bowl yeah singing poison songs loved poison kick an ass and take a name did they sing higher love or back in the high life high life yeah yeah man some unskinned bob guess what is this guess what we've got what is that well what does it look like right you can read right read lots of books it's a box with a stamps logo on it says barn burner i've not opened this but i am told we are to open it on There's no chance you haven't opened it. Curious, you've absolutely opened it. Given there's a small chance of arsenic or some sort of chemical poison, you're going to open this. Arsenic.

Well, oh, I heard so. That's weighty. Jeez. This is why I like him because they gave me something. That's what I've seen. I just moved to spike stand today. Of course, the one day's good box. It's okay.

Barnburner. That's the helmet logo right there. Oh, that's shiny. Is that a decal or a decal? Yep. Now, do you know what's coming up, Rhett? Labor Day. Correct.

And what do the stamp eaters do when labor? They play the classic. It's right. They ask Rhett to leave the concourse for urinating on that same pillar again. Sir, that's a plant. I'm watering. I found a great spot the last game I was at. That snuck right in the back.

That trash can. Yeah, and they wear the black jerseys. Got the brush door. Yes, yes. You kidding me? Do you want help? No, I'm just, I'm going to. Oh, the upside downer.

Upside downer. Whoa, the kids love these. Look at this guy. Holy, have we converted one? I like it. Look at me. Look at me. I look kind of matchy.

Supermast. Some pats. So it's the one that matches Jack's shirt. I got that hat. Oh, it's a gooder. Together we ride. I like this. Tone on tone.

Yeah, that's you. Oh, the black and black. That's boom for sure. Back on black. In the sack with Jack. Got some drink wear. But what go in there? Maybe some.

Yeah. There's a heat warning. Some origin. Maybe we should margin there. Tailgate. Look at this. You want to, I feel like you're going to drop it. I'm not going to drop it.

Oh. Some shirts. What size is that? That's a medium. Is it size fat? Does that have sleeves? Here's one for here's a size fat. What size is that?

You got two fats in those? Mediums. Oh, throw it a jack. Throw it a jack. He's a QB. He's a Pickens or it. Out of white. Oh, there you are.

Look at that. Farmer. very nice of the stamp here yeah my god's sorry jack you didn't get nothing oh look at how nice now dean's gonna do maybe a little switcheruny we're gonna see the sizes first okay who oh i don't like the plane that's sharp dudes what are the sizes pick one that fits a lot of my friends are not liking me excel that'll be fine for me uh uh Also, the word from the Stamps Set Office, I didn't know exactly what was in there, but they did say. Oh, some little turf.

That's what they did with the old turf. They're giving it away. Get that up. They're very nice. Thank you, stamp eaters. And for you, two tickets to Monday's game. And for you, two tickets to Monday's game. And for me, um, please barring, you know, a clean police check, two tickets for me as well.

So Monday. Let's go. that doofus, Jack will be my plus one. Fellas, did you see they, because again it was the riders, and they're responsible for it. My daughter was actually in a ringette tournament, playing a team from Regina.

They were so excited. They could not believe the good fortune of coming to Calgary on the same weekend. What were the odds? Yeah, what were the odds. So 28,000 plus at McMahon, the largest non-Labor day crowd since 2019. That's pre-COVID.

That's a while ago. And I felt bad because they were awesome week, one out of the gate. And you're waiting, wait and waiting for the next home game. And it was the torrential 10 kilograms of rain day. And it's like, that was supposed to be their family day game. Obviously, Stampede Bowl was good, but it's the first one that'll continue to build. And then it's like, all right, this is a winning team. It's an easy team to cheer for.

Finally got some good weather. And I think you're seeing another monster crowd on Monday. In 28,000, they go up 14 to 10. two early in control down by a point at the half then what happens at the half what do we do we make adjustments make some adjustments second half stamps outscore the riders 18 nothing oh that's nice and win going away they get to Trevor Harris he gets knocked out of the game some jake mayor guy comes in yeah he got clunk remember when i said all those disparaging things about jake mayor and how the team He said a lot of things.

Big play VA. He is your 365 favorite for the MVP in the CFO, that 365. They kept the O line kept them clean. Defense got to the quarterback. Running the ball. Round the ball. Spread it around. Horse was running.

He's got to do his thing. Yeah. Cheerleaders were. Jack, when's Jack? Jack. Cis, boom, bah. We like woozy. Who la la.

That's what they say. They're excited to see you. I hear you coming Monday yeah I'll be there Monday Labor Day what do you mean it sounds down in the dumps you know what he's been in a very reflective mood he's he's got family that just left town he's been uh enjoying time with his father fighting with his sister he also did get sick right day we were in here oh that's running and you were like is he why would you get him sick no god no yes did he yes he did what an ignorant I'm so sorry yeah it's a uh I'm just jelly.

I'm back from Italy. I had so much pasta and beer. Labor Day, Monday. The weather. I want that hat. Some parmats. That's a great hat. Spamats.

I like this one too. Actually, I like that one too. There's doing some good stuff. If anybody else wants to send gifts. Well, probably open it. That's a big thing online right where they do the... Oh, yeah, that one good. The black box. Box opening stuff.

Old John Gruden gets stuff all the time. Do you want the new boat or what's behind door number two? Did that start on SNL? Which? The opening of the box? For around Christmas.

Don't you remember? Dick in the box. Don't send me your... Don't do that. It's my rent-y-in-a-box. That's Ryan Pike at Christmas. Don't need that. Don't need that at all. Um,

okay, so the stamps are rolling. The J's are rolling. And the thing is they got, uh, they got the Elks. Oh, Elk. Elks. Elks. And they've not been so great as of late, three in a row. Don't get cocky.

They just beat Ottawa. They've won three straight talking to Dave yesterday. They've got their quarterback situation figured out. No worries for, for these Elks. So there it is. I believe the stamps are done with the riders and the blue bombers. So if you want to take care of business against the Edmontons and Toronto's of the world, you're in very, very good spot to, you know, host a playoff game, which would be great.

And they're going to be on the road a bit down the stretch. So it's another home game. Do we even know if there's another conference? Yeah, there's the east. It's got like honest. I know I'm making fun, but. Yeah, we might be in for the conference. crossover is there an ottawa team and montreal red blacks Toronto Hamilton

montal team league they've been working on that 10th team for about yeah a decade that's come up and you got the big rivalries right for for for Labor Day you got Winnipeg it's Saskatchewan banjo bull after that too yeah I would Toronto and Hamilton oh it's a Calgary then the others just kind of so what else you like stuff the week so that's too bad I don't know what the Vancouver-Montreal rivalries like. Ottawa-Montrol would be decent. Yeah.

So I think Vancouver probably just gets by. No one likes Vancouver. When it comes to anything. Okay, I kind of jumped in there. I was talking about, I just wanted to get that in about the Elks. If you think it's going to be a cakewalk, don't be. No, I agree. It's hasty.

Honestly, like when they've been healthy and it hasn't been monsoon raining, they've been pretty much undefeated this year. But don't again. To your point? Don't lose focus. It's too bad the CFL plays into Christmas and it's cold. It's not cold, yes. It's going to be perfect on Monday.

Well, it's going to be gorgeous. I'm just saying. It's really good when it's nice out. We need it to get the weather to go a long time. That's not quite Christmas. Great Cup here. Not quite Christmas. Where is the Grey Cup this year?

What a pick. And the stamps on our good friends of Bet365 are currently the favorites to win, said Gray Cup. Oh, really? But things change quickly. They were last in the preseasoned in those same odds. Could have made some hay there. That's what Dave was saying you. 30 to 1.

Nobody was on our train at the start of the season. There were naysayers. I've been behind you for decade now. I'm not sure that's the only thing. Dave, I've absolutely been a supporter of Dave for a decade. 100%. He was 99% because the burger thing is weird. Yeah, he doesn't like burgers.

Other than that, we got your back there. Or watermelon. Isn't that what he said? It's like you're no fun at a cookout or a backyard picnic, pal. But they got a buy week coming up, and it is the 30-year reunion. I mean, go listen to the interview. It was good. It was very good.

For the gris down in Missoula. So he's going down to meet, to hook up with some of his old teammates. That's just coming up because I know they just had a buy before the Saskate. Yeah. So he's looking forward to that coming up. Three by weeks. That would be. And he was saying,

never gone down. It's a mecca. Canadians, you got to go down. It's not that far. You want to feel that kind of energy. You got to go down. It's a Mazula. Check out the gris down there.

He was a big deal jack down there. So I've heard. Cool. Big deal. Dave. Yeah, big deal, Dave. Did he coach there as well? I don't think so.

Or just play. Big save Nick. Because he came to the Canadian Football League. Had a little, just a little. San Diego. A little in the NFL. Just a little bit. in the CFL and then right into it.

You'd like this, Jacko. I went to a Chargers game where Doug Flutie was a starter and Dave Dickinson was the backup. Wow. Yeah. Was Garcia playing for the other team? Sanfran, brother. Cleveland, maybe. Yeah.

Well, there you have that. That's that. That's that. Who can take where you're plus one? I got to figure out if I can get there. I did ask you a week ago and you didn't answer. Well, that's why I didn't answer because I don't know if I could. Was I supposed to answer something?

No, I know you won't know until day of, so. Hey, Rhett, where are you Monday? Oh, what day is it today? Monday. Can't eat on Monday. Oh, you're going to be extra grumpy. I got a cheat. Are you still doing this thing?

Good wedding. Happy for both those fine folks. Did you guys do anything up to anything? Anything exciting? Oh, yeah. There's a rink that's just south here. It's off McLeod, right on the McLeod and Stoney, right at the bottom there. It's called Cardell.

They got a bar up there now? Yeah. When my kids were of that age, when I had to be there every day, they couldn't have a bar because you see, well, it's attached to the, there's the high school. You can't have that because those high school kids. That was a gym. They might be in there. It was a gym for a while, then it was a, I don't know,

physically like you go for rehab and get your joints all figured out. I don't know what the hell they had up there. And of course, now it's a bar. I'm sure you can get wings and shit up there. That's great. There was special on wings on Wednesday. Like, well, it's attached to a school. It's like, yeah, but you still have to ID people and be 18.

Like, who cares? What if it's attached to, yeah. No. Stop banging the tape. Make them walk across the street to get their booze. Come on. Yeah. So that's what you've been doing?

That's all. Good talk. I've been sitting on a beach and all. And I was going to go to the Millarville. Yeah, yeah. That's right. You're going to Millerville. But there was a reason to be at the Cardell again.

I see. So I kind of couldn't. go to the malarva so these are this is a tan you've got not like burned from the heaters in the rink just it's it's health concerns problem it's not just whiskey like when you get the whiskey nose yeah i didn't chat with them for two weeks because you know i've had my phone stolen and i hey i've been gone for a bit uh what's new and he's like every day looks like the last and it's just another picture him in a rink i'm like oh boy god a summer it's nice can we have a a forum or a quorum or a consultation or a with the good people that run the hockey in

Calgary I think we could get to just say September 8th September 8th what a day for the season to kick off right you get the long weekend in get your whole summer we don't need to end the season in March let's go a month later I have to have my young goal tender at a 9 a.m. evaluation on Labor Day. Couldn't wait one more day. And you know, the skaters are going to be out by the Saturday. So you probably need to evaluate these. I feel like all the people that are,

I can tell you, I feel like all the people that are paying for all this stuff would be 100% what we're talking about. But you know how it goes? If everyone can agree to it, it's like, hey, we're not doing it. We're doing it. No, no, we're not doing it. doing it then one dad and his kid will be breaks did i hear hey i heard uh stevie was out to skate was stevie skating well stevees then bobby's got to go because we can't have stevie

getting better than bobby well wait a bit is bobby and stevie are skating what the age he's on the bubble and now bobby's skating Tommy tiny Tommy well now jimmy's pissed off because Stevie and bobby and they didn't invite him so just saying i'm just throwing it out there it's not new. It's not anything that I've come up with on my own. This has been decades and decades in the making. I actually think that the people behind it would appreciate starting later too, because they don't have to waste it summer. So is this all mandatory for the upcoming winter?

It's for us. High end. Right. Yeah. Yeah. So maybe you high enders have your meeting. The rest of us slum lord. We're donators is what we are. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, oh, yeah, you'll have a shot for sure. You should come to camp. Absolutely. Got to be a camp, got a chance.

You're going to have a good chance. You had a good summer, didn't you? Oh, yeah, Dovan. Donation. Good real good out there, Rhett. A couple more power skating classes. You might make that team. Yeah, I brought it up more than once here.

I think of all the times. What flex does it? Well, is it the right one? What's sharpening? Is it half inches? Three-quare. What are we doing? Wow.

Is he going to get into the summer? I think he's in Erdry working in a bathtub. Oh, it wasn't. So you got the wrong flex, so you screwed it up. Maybe, maybe. Or perhaps things are just going to find their natural way.

And maybe they're not all going to be superstars. I don't know how that can be true, Ryan. I see all the kids at the rings. I keep hearing. They're all going to be superstars. I see him at the race. Yeah. That's not a shot against my kid either. I mean,

he's doing quite well. He's doing some work. He's working. Yeah, he's not a hockey. He hasn't left the house. I'm a little concerned about this. Yeah. Well, we'll chat about that. That's going on.

Ryan? Did we ask Ryan what he's doing? Because he went to Europe, your back? Or were you sick all week? No, it was good. That was two weeks ago. That's a while ago. I was just up in Windermere sitting on a beach.

How is the lake? Is he? Because you know, we haven't had the best summer, but all of a sudden, it's like two weeks. It's like, fall is going to be awesome. Sun, heat, water. It'd be nice if we had a nice. nice fall epic skills i'd love it yeah absolutely i think we've earned it i'd be in for that i think

the stamps how are them farmers do they've got to be thrilled thrilled we got to check if you're listening farmer text us and let us yeah you could probably super chat probably could all the dough you're bringing in i was talking to a farmer yesterday about the price of beef beef's going way up yeah they're making money big beef good for them really really rolling right now yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it's Big and a big beef. How's your foot, Dean? The foot's fine. Okay. You still haven't told us what I hurt my arm. What? Doing what? Dancing? No.

We reached up for the bouquet. He's diving for the bouquet at the wedding. Take a fall? Yesterday. What? Which one? The one you're not moving? This one here? It's very moving. I can't. There's a, got no rotation. Something happened. I guess. Where? Where? At home. Point to where. it hurts it's right kind of shoulder through here well you tore your bicep tendon oh dear i kind of

was sitting and i reached this way with something to put it you're you're aft and to put it oh yeah you're aft go to divergent you'll be fine fix you i think i need to go to investment and find out if i'm going to die yeah well don't they say if you get that sting and pain down the arm does that i don't you get a heart attack coming i hold jack we have one of those AEDs here. I've told you. DNR. Don't need any of you guys. You know what that means? Jack, are you familiar?

No. We used to have a policy in the morning show. I need you turn over and said, fellas, if I go down, I don't want any of you assholes. Stay that. I don't need you. Give it the room. Shut the door. Come back at 10. Undoing my shirt to do chest compressions.

You'll be doing them wrong. You'll just be hurt me. I'll be like, get the fuck off. I don't need a scene in the lobby. People looking in the studio. just let me go. I probably survived if you weren't sitting on my chest. So yeah, that's how that's going.

We had our media fantasy football draft last night. What an absolute. Sensational turnout. Five of the 14 teams are in attendance. 14 teams are so many. That's a lot of teams, there's so many. Now, in fairness,

some don't live in Calgary. Julian McKenzie, the athletic writer is in Ottawa. And who else are we missing? Might be it. That's it. So 13 local. Well, I know where I was.

A new team, Wes Gilbertson of Postmedia. Huss. He's a newcomer. Good to have Huss. Welcome, Huss. Sweet boy. Got a bunch of the old turkeys from 960 are there. We have John Bender, Andrew McBride.

The thing about doing things digitally through the computer programs and that is it does take away from the, he's already been drafted fun of old school going off your list. and stuff. Our other league, we do that. He'll update the website manually, but there's no time limits. You're in the room. And anytime there's a bach, there's a big tray of tequila shots and dudes just get punished. Yeah. I'll take

Steve Eisenman. Bock. Dude. Take your base. There's certain things that happen every year that we get into the draft. It's like clockwork. It's like a right of passage. No, time for this to happen. Fall's coming soon when certain things happen. Yeah.

It's like the leaves turning or kids getting back in the rink. Yeah. And even with... Fantasy football. Even within the draft, we get the draft order. I complain about it. Yeah. And then Rhett chimes in because he doesn't have his password and can't log on to the... Every year, it's the same damn thing.

It is the same damn thing every year. You're not wrong. Here's the chat. Now, if you notice, the draft started at 7 p.m. There's Rhett chiming in at 6.59, one minute before the draft. Not a sentence, just one word. Password. Password.

I have a Wi-Fi passwords for the bar, Rhett. Yeah, it's not for... No bills are gone. Hustle back. It's four minutes in. I can't sign in. I'm not joking. It was true.

That's what my screen did. He had the spinning wheel of death. And then he finally got in half an hour after the first pick, got one bill, Keon Coleman, and properly left the draft and went back to auto draft. Red, you've done it again. God, if I could only get... Quarterback.

Yeah. And I do love... You have to reset, then it's got to be sent to you, then you got to get the verification code, and then it's not working, and then that does the wheel, then you do it again.

Every year. Screw you. And I suppose if you try to do all those things one minute before the draft starts, it would be very challenging. The 659 part is... It's just amazing. Password.

Password. password but i think you did quite well or the computer did consider it yeah well here's the thing the yahoo where we have the league has its list and when you don't pick it goes off their list yeah and it thought that list was really good yeah they like their list they gave it a great grade yeah so no surprise there yeah which actually happened to julian near the end of the draft where he had to step away from his laptop or computer weird things happened at the end And I'm not sure if he was on that he must have been on the turn. Maybe he's got the queue loaded up or something.

Maybe. Yeah. Because he had back to back picks. Yes. And took back to back kickers. Oh. Two of the top three kickers, I think. Yeah, which really good at corner the market.

You've got a. Maybe a little soon for kickers. Definitely too early for two. Definitely too soon. So what was happening? I'm not sure. That's the one precaution I took. I don't have a kicker or a defense.

I just went and picked like 800 guys. Yeah. Instead of those dust. Dusters. You picked one guy, but yeah, he was a bill. No, but I put the star base. I put him in my cue. Cute him up.

Yeah. Because I didn't want no seven tight ends or kickers and defense. Boom's the two-time consecutive defending champion. Three-time champion. He should get a tattoo. And I snipe him a couple times. He snipped me a couple times. We wanted Tyler Warren.

I knew Bill Boom was going to take him. I told the table, I'm like, boom's going to take my bleeping guy here. You watch this. Were you there, Jack? No, I was not there. See, that's weird. It's family in town, I'm telling you.

It's depressed. Somber. Yeah, it's very, uh, 18 teams of so many. Yeah, it's a lot. There's not in front of them. Well, it's the only reason that's helped you to win. So what do you complain?

It makes it harder. I know. So much good for everyone else. Yeah. You're up at three, so you get to the waiver wire first. Oh, it is stressful, though. I also had some updates from the, because I know Big Steve.

The Steelers guy, right? Yeah. Here's a list of some players that are still eligible to be added either through waivers or free agents. Through our fantasy? Yeah. Yeah. So most of the really good players would be gone, but you'll notice Aaron Rogers, Russell Wilson and Kenny Pickett all available, the last three Steelers starting quarterbacks. How do we feel, Jack?

I mean, yeah, they should be available. The picket just got traded. Riders. fourth team in three years it was two years ago right now the jack was yeah yeah was very sure Kenny pickett was on a path to start them they were running one of the greatest preseasons of all time it is one of the greatest nary and incompletion perfect QB rating everything was lining up Steelers what about this year jack how do you feel i feel great about the defense should be one of the best in the league i don't know

like Rogers didn't play in the Priests and all. I'm sure they will come out week one and look like complete shit. They will go three and out first drive and pop. Boy, I hope they come out and play just, I mean, they're playing the Jets. Just come up and play great. Just kind of have a sneaky game.

Yeah, that's right. Will we have the jackometer again this fall? Oh, we have to. We have to. I'll figure it out. Okay, we need the jackometer for those that are unfamiliar. We kind of ride the. wave of emotion with Jack.

Winds are awesome and losses are crushing and it's just, it's a, it's a weekly roller coaster and we've come to love it. We've already seen in the off season. It's just like, no way Aaron Rogers, this deadbeat. And then a week later is like, you know what? I'm in on Rogers. This is the guy. We're doing it. Yeah, not sure why.

Same thing the year before. Let's ride. He's in with Russell Wilson. Screw Russell Wilson. Justin Fields. Great. No, no. Time for Russell Wilson. Are you a gamer? I know there was a time where you said we're going to quit everything and become a professional gamer. What? You? Oh, wow. I've been putting a lot of hours in on this. Okay. So you'll be ready as EA Sports, the new NHL, NHL, NHL 26. Oh, the new one. September, 226 coming up. It is. This is the 25, 26 season. Right. So here we go.

September 12th, the new game will be out. Um, it's like two weeks. And the thing, it's, I don't know if I miss it. Because now it's, you can just get it on your platform. You just download it depending on what, uh, you know, what console you're using. used to be i'm going to i'm going to stop going to go to the mall i'm going to future shop right at 10 o'clock when they open and drug you don't you don't really need to do that anymore because you can just kind of did you get it early jack you pay the extra no i haven't oh he's done with madden yeah yeah but the new game coming out september 12th and uh there were there was times where you just lose days of the oh yeah that first week i haven't seen Dean at all. Is he

I don't know. Is he sick? Must be sick. Yeah, he's taking the Blackhawks and he's got a best of seven series on. He's in franchise mode. It's probably at about the third round. He'll emerge in a couple days. So good. And there's always the controversy. I'll show it on

I think it was hard knocks with the Raiders. I'm a 75? Wow. How am I a set? The player ratings. Yeah. The player ratings are controversial. guys homes 99 yeah guys have real they're very interested i was trying to dig up ret's highest what year he would have been the highest rating but i couldn't a i couldn't figure it out if a i can't figure out i don't know what what help we have um so we've got some do we have so we have the top

10 right defenseman and left defense do zanlifsh do you want to do any guesses or anything who do you think i mean i'm going to go macar tops he's number one on the right side Quinn Hughes, left side. That's it. What about, what about Miramanov? Danil didn't make the top 10. And which hand is Uyghur?

Was it Uyghur that we had the wrong hand? I'm trying to remember. No, it was Mirov. Salov. Salov. Salviahs. He's also Arrety. Drette's like, that's the photo.

There it is. Wigger or righty, Anderson, a righty, ball would be your best lefty. So there you have it. Your top 10 left Ds. Aquarenski, big bounce back year. Roman Yosey, always sneaky good. Victor heaven, Rasmus, Dahlene,

Hastan, Slavin, Morrissey, Jake Sanderson. Oh, he's good. And Gustav Forsling. Good work, Vancouver. You had Gustav Forsling. That would go for you. And on the right, little kale, McCar, Adam,

I was going to say Fox, but I wondered if maybe he, uh, if he dipped a little bit of it. after last year Calgary born and Calgary Carole number five wow well and here's the thing if you remember team Canada at four nations old

Quoten Pereco was on the team not to mention number 10 Drew Dowdy was on the team and number four was like eh why don't you stay home depends on much risk reward you like in the game with old bush bombs the old bush bomb this gets me excited to play the game

and I'm an old fart yeah you are So you're telling me that's an animation or like a, that's not a picture, Quinn, he was on the left because that looks spot on. They got Kales, rosy cheeks. Kail's looking a little more video gamey, but Quinn, that looks like a photo. That's unbelievable. How do you feel about those, is Moe's cider a little high?

He's good, though. I think we don't watch them much. Weeks could be on that list on the right side. It's kind of what are you looking for? Like he got invited to the team Canada, a larger group. He would be certainly a bubble guy to make Team Canada on the right. It's just like the, the buff's tryouts from, you know,

you get a certain level, it's hard to differentiate. Yeah, it is. So who would you swap out there? Break was an interesting one. I mean, I like the physicality, but the offense. Yeah. Not there anymore, really.

And then you on the other side would say, like, can Evan Bouchard defend, you know? What about you, Red? If you were going to, you know, if Prime Rutt Warner was going to sneak in with an 88 there, who are you going to be taken out? doubty

i like doughty though he's one of my favorite defense carlson's a little long in the two i was gonna say john carlson might be on the list but what about uh brother brother brother brother he's been hurt so much he's been missing a lot of time he has missed a lot of time all of sudden his name was out in the old rumor mill and i you sure like the left handers better yes i would say so i mean not a that kale probably is one one for me but yeah kale's not kale but fox maybe fox just taking some flack he's never been fast and he's slow he's like no he's never been fast he's the same speed and you can go look at the data on the web but everyone around the rangers was just awful last year right they were shitty yes like

crider sucks truba sucks the room sucks zabinajad sucks this guy sucks that guy sucks that guy sucks that was bad year they could throw that one out but basically like they're rated that way. Sanderson is. Yeah. He's going to be. I would take Sanderson. Maybe McCar and Fox, but I'm not sure I wouldn't take Sanderson over Fox.

Yeah, I would say it's McCar and Hughes are my top two in the league. And then I would take everyone on the left. Down to, you know, I was making my top 10 defenseman. I'd put McCar with the guys on the left. And then I do like McAvoy. I would sneak him in there.

I'd sneak Fox in too, but you're right, the left side. Better than more. Morrissey and S. Anderson? No, but there's some other guys. I would say Roman Yosey's there on rep. Like he's not coming off one of those dominant Ossie seasons. But it wouldn't surprise you at all if he was a Norris finalist again. He's that good.

So you get a bit of the brand keeping the rating high. And you know what? All those kids there, I bet you they were in the ranks in August. Hey, a, Rhett. So take heart, pal. Well, I know McCar's brother was because I saw. I bet you McCar was at Cardell in August. Did they do the, the big eat all the food on July 31 before we get to work August?

Yeah, did they go hammer a bunch of putteen at McMahon? Well, you want to know what every fast food joints, potene's like. So you got to. So you do that testing while you're a pro athlete. NHL 26, September 12th. What platform are you on it's going to be on the 12th? It's just after pickle. Fast. That's exciting.

I might be so inclined to to dig in on the old EA this year. Yeah. We should set it up in here and play it on the stream. I gave Jack a little walk through the house the other day because I had to go pick up some paint for the wall. Yeah, paper brush. Like your house?

Yeah, he's like, I've never been in. I'm like, well, okay, come on in. And I literally had the Sega Genesis console out with NHL 94 and he's like, oh, that's actually attached. I'm like, oh yeah, you can play that right now if you want. Yeah. you want to go line up Denny Savard.

I can hear the whistle. Oh, yeah. I can hear it. And you play Hartford, and after they score, they got brass bananas going on the background. Oh, God. I would say, though, probably

most people will prefer EA Sports NHL 26. I would think, yes. The 94. The gameplay, a little more sophisticated. A little more, yeah.

Just go straight out of the corner past the goalie and slide it in the empty. That was a nice move when you figured that out. Sweet. Roetic again is eight. Maybe a little bit of off air conversation. I have been working behind the scenes to nail down our roster of insiders. Oh. As we ramp Barnburner back up for another hockey season.

Year four. Year four, I guess, yeah. Season four coming up. Right? Yeah. Jeez. We haven't even done three years yet. We're almost starting.

I know. I'm tired. God, he's tired. War out, yeah, rightfully so. It's all that work he's been doing

these one show a week. Exhausting. And you know what? Here's the thing. I get people and I'm so appreciative the people like the show

and they listen or watch or whatever and they, you know, the summers are good. I like the interviews, but you guys get back together. It's, I appreciate that.

But I also love having the summers not doing shows. here's the thing one of us might kill somebody else and it could be anyone on anyone if we don't get this break in the summer i was talking with we need it for sanity with a radio gentleman at the uh well there was a couple over the last couple of weeks just i've had some radio conversations they're like so you must love the uh the summers yeah yeah yeah yeah it's one of it's maybe top two or three definitely top three, but maybe the main reason

that I'm doing this or that we do this is so that you don't have to spend June and July. It's all-star break in baseball. And so what do you think?

Who's got the best jersey in MLS? What do you think? Stamps around by, Major League Baseball All-Star Week. No one's been signed in two weeks. No one will get signed for another month. Let's do a deep dive on the top pair of the Stockton Heat. Let's go. Who's the best captain on NHL hockey? What are the best rivalries in the sports?

And not only do you have to have those conversations in radio, if you're doing a three-hour show, it's a three-hour show. Maybe to our detriment sometimes when we're done. You're done. My, I was so done the last time I said. Other thing I noticed was that, boy, when we were in the season, there was a lot of ads and, you know, people are listening. There's lots of sets are longer in the summer. Less people are listening. There's less to talk about. And the commercial breaks are shorter.

Yeah, shorter. So you have more time to talk about less. Salespeople are not out there selling. No, God. They're sunning their butts. Yeah. They're in Ibitha. Ibitha.

So I do enjoy it. But we are getting back. there is still some mild debate as to when the five day a week three person deal starts back up again I got some ideas I know you do I'm glad you guys are thinking about it not too much I mean we're still gonna get the

kind of talking about right now Jack what's the here's the deal here's the deal all right at the boss either starting next Tuesday see you next Tuesday see you next Tuesday you next Tuesday. So right after Labor Day. Yes, right after the holiday Monday. Does the season start? No. Preseason? No. Rookie camp. No, no, no, no. NFL starts. Uh,

February, HLs preseason starts. Okay, so there's, so still nothing really happening, but okay. Not a lot. Yeah. We could start up that week to go Tuesday one next week is what you're saying. Next week is what you're saying. Next week today, a week today, today, Tuesday Wednesday. or we do Tuesday, Thursday that week, and then we come back the next week, and we are full go, September 8th. We also still have three. We do have recorded shows.

Which week in there. And potentially a fourth very soon. So if you wanted to do a Friday show next week to react to the NFL season opener, which is always incredibly dramatic, somehow, some way, it's always a great game to open the season, whether it's Isaiah likely's toes,

dragging at the back of the end zone, in overtime trying to beat the Chiefs. What was the one in Green Bay in Seattle where they threw the Hail Mary? Yes, like there's, for whatever reason, the NFL season openers are thrilling. We can come in Thursday and preview that. We come in Friday.

React to it. There's a game Friday. Recorded shows. There's the Friday. They're in Brazil. Right. It's Chargers. And I want to say, yeah,

Chargers chiefs from South Polo. God, that would have been a trip, eh? He looks sold. So what are we then? Say old or sold? Sold. Both. well more one than the other um what what are you feeling jack man i'll be honest i'm getting

kind of bored at home he really is ready to just get on in here every day what if we went so so you're i'm good to go next week starting tuesday in here but we still have those shows we got to get to do with all that to friday i mean if you're records in there though we can do one or I'm not doing four days since. Ryan? I would say we go live Tuesday because we'll be able to talk with the Labor Day Classic, which would be a banger on Monday. So we'll come in and react to that.

Plus hungover shows are always great. Wednesday, pre-recorded show. And then Thursday or Friday, live. But I do think the NFL kickoff is going to be a ton of fun, whether we react to it Friday or whether we try to get excited on Thursday. Reds bills are good. Your Chicago Bears will be better. My charges still like to run the ball.

Jack Steelers are going to be awful. Break his heart. Okay. So you're saying live Thursday or Friday. Yeah, or both, depending on you're feeling with that. I think if we come in Friday, we will have that game to talk about. So I don't think it'll be hard to do a show on Friday, unless someone really wants to get it. Okay, so that's at least two next week.

All right. So, Rets, what are your thoughts? I don't have any, and I'm not coming every day. When do our insiders, speaking of what you... Hockey season. So when camp opens, hockey season. October. Yeah.

There will be storylines in camps. That's after you cook a big bird for Thanksgiving. Oh, it's wrong. What is wrong, man? Dumb kid. What? What? Let's stick with this.

No, you got it. What are you? You're always dragging off here on air. Let's, let's, we'll finish this thing. Okay. I don't think we need to work every day for the next two weeks. What if we do three days next week instead of four? Why don't we?

Like Tuesday. Okay. Tuesday, fine, right? After a long weekend. Sure. Sure. One more. Yeah.

What about a stay home show? Because I know you love those. I'm okay coming. If we're all coming in. Okay, we'll do Tuesday, Thursday next week. And then we can roll. And then we can roll those. Pre-record.

no, we'll save those for some time in September. So you're thinking what are you groaning about? I'm doing math in my head. It is September next week. Right. There's still going to be nothing to talk.

But there's nothing. It's weird that because you have always been the one. Because I remember it's like, after it's Labor Day, people are back to work. Kids are in school. We should be going. And you're like, yeah, there's really nothing going on. It's a grind. I just, I'm more thinking.

from the business side of things where he's a businessman definitely not but uh I can do three Ryan if you want to do three I'll do one with you sure we can do Friday we can drop a pre-record there too we got some good ones still on top and then the following week so all day every day but what you're saying is

we're putting something out every day next week and then that's a Ryan saying okay and then it's full three days but I think we yeah I'd like to get things rolling starting on the I'm not saying it's going to be easy and there's lots to do but we kind of are the best when nothing's happening anyway. I disagree. I know you do, but I'm on those shows. I'm here for them.

Yeah, but you're doing them. You're not watching. People love when we got nothing to go. Yeah, see, you. COVID was unbelievable. We had all to talk about it. I don't think COVID was so great at all. I really,

people love that goddamn. I wish I had that self-esteem that Ryan has. Those shows are great. We're the best. No, no, I just mean like, these shows are great. We literally used to do like 40 to 50 of these shows of summer. And it was not easy and it did suck.

But we really only have to do about 10. Nowhere near what you at the old place you had to do for nowhere there is long. So yeah, it could be a grind, but I think, you know, kids are in school. I'm just, I'm ready. Stay at home and our kids are at school and not work. Let's do it. Let's go live. It's good.

It's good. Let's do three and three. Let's go. How about that? Three and three. Three and three. Three next week or this week and three next week. This week.

Next week. Next week. Three next week and the following week. That's six. Well, we got four of the things. Works. Either way, we are wrapping up. You can feel it, can't you?

You can feel the organization and the process. And the excitement to get back. Yes. We're channeling a bit. It's called passion. It's called passion. You can't get by without it. Can't.

Passion is worth. It's not worth doing. If you don't have any passion. Passion or passionate. So when the. the hockey season gets started and when our insiders are back they of course a presentation once again this hockey season of crystal waters plumbing and heating they're at my house again but we've got it lick this time we have it lick they only have to come back one more time yeah um this is another one of those things hard hard conversations we got to have air conditioning season it's actually here furnace season there's a yeah i guess a little, there's a little bit of a pocket there where maybe it's a good idea to get Crystal Waters in. We can kind of put the AC to bed, look at the furnace, make sure it's running.

It's real, folks. But here's the, right now, they're blowing out air conditioners to wrap up the season. They may as well be at your house. Then sitting on a pallet or in a warehouse for Crystal Waters. Some deals to be had.

They're in the Northwest all. Ryan Pindindindon. Spindraff. Fellas, Flamesland, there are, um, well, there's still a team in the league. I'm rather quiet.

It's been weeks since the Marty Pospisal extension, which was not even a expired contract. It's very quiet. Writers are still writing. There's Pike, the wrench himself. He's counting down the top 20 flames prospects. Number two is Cole Reschney. Number one will certainly be Zane Porek.

Would you care to hazard any guesses at the rest of the top five? I wouldn't dare. For Stavich 3, Gridden 4. Cullen Potter, the second first rounder. in the summer's draft at five and Andrew Basha at number six. Nice. Two of their top four prospects pieces, the last Lidinholm deal.

Not bad. That's right. Where do we find this? Flamesnation.ca. Flamesnation.ca. But don't be some big news happening soon. And someone close to the flames that breaks Flames news is going to have some huge news. Okay. Big news.

Oh! This morning. Ryan Leslie, eyeballs emoji, followed by double eyeballs emoji, followed by incredibly rare, triple eyeballs emoji. So for old farts like me, what that means is, hey, lookie, looky here. Hey, oh, maybe something's up. Leslie has done this in the past. And there's been some big flames news coming in the pipe shortly thereafter. Why the hell don't we call Condor?

Because he's in the loop. So is this a wolf extension? Is this Conner's Erie getting a deal done? Is Michael Backland signing a contract to finish his career aflain? Is this an Anderson trade? Is this a Rasmus Anderson trade? What is it? Oh, shit.

He's going to Toronto. He buckered off. Oh, uh, he's very good and funny. He is very good. The hell's going to do that now. Congrats to Ryan. Lastly, he's an Ontario guy. He is from Ontario.

He's tight. They're so tight, him and tree. Oh, just Is that what it is? That's the biggest talk you probably didn't hurt. Probably doesn't hurt is who you know in the business, but he is, uh, he's one of the best. He makes it seem very,

and people don't appreciate you're in, you're in a rink and there's people around you. It's freaking loud. And it's loud and just kind of make it sound like you're talking off the cuff and you're doing interviews and people are giving you 10 seconds. Okay. Yeah. Uh-huh.

He's doing all that. He's very good at it. Happy for him. Les. Congratulations. He's set it home. Very big move. It's exciting.

Sure. All of a sudden, another hole you've got to fill the broadcast team. Gosh. I don't think I would, I would like to do it, but I don't think Rogers likes me anymore. Would you like to do that job?

You would like to do it? Sure. Really? Well, I'd get away from you guys and Jack specifically. Any job would be that. You're working a drive-thru window and get away from us. You know, my kids.

I have to go on the road for that. Right. Like for a while there and you're seeing it. You will see it soon. There's a time where your kids, they kind of, they're cute and they like you and you want to spend, you don't want to miss little things in their lives and stuff. Like they want nothing to do with me now.

In fact, my daughter was texting me. She, can you bring me my goggles? Like it's, she doesn't want to see me. She wants your got. Like, there's nothing.

She's to call you fat boy? Those years, Hey, Fatty. You got a 20? Like, that's where, Hey.

Tubby. Yeah. Cash. That's where it's, it is right now. So for me to fly around North America and be with the flames and do some broadcast thing. They would love to have you too. We're going to miss you, Dean. That's too bad. I'm ready. I'm ready to get back into the main street. Are you officially submitting your resume? Yes. For the rambling man. That's a huge wrink. Best I can. I'll get a suit. You'd be good at it, Dean. They should phone you. I'll start doing your no meeting on Mondays. I'll mix in some salads it's hard not to eat on the road in america right now the never hungry league is it's weight management is difficult who's running that place the like the tv stuff

It's probably that friend Parker. Oh, Parker for sure. Parker's already kind of doing that.

Oh, yeah, you're hooped. He's got the inside track on you. You're going to have to do one hell of a pre-tape or something. I'm going to have to spend the time with those kids, I guess. Damn it. Well, you won't. I'll try out of there for a second. I had to drive the one kid to work at 5.30 this morning.

Why are you driving him to work at 5.30? Is that the kid that won't get his license? Just doesn't have it yet. Does he know what a bus is? That's tough. He does have a job at least. It's a start. That's an Uber home.

It's $24. I'll never get back. You're paying for us too? Jeez. Connie, help a guy. Connie, please. Parker's got a bad drug problem. What?

I did not see that coming. God, he's as square as they come. Real bad. so polite you can't have always shirt tucked in that guy can't have him around your team what can't do it truth oh truth bombs that's you don't want that unsavory it's always the ones you never suspect yeah yeah you he may look very clean cut and professional yeah what he does family man don't be sucked yeah yeah everyone's got a skeleton his skeleton is that it's bugger sugar oh wow geez yep that is way in the left field real bad Ryan back to you I think yeah that is Mike Jack Shane came back to you

McLeod lot I watch called Dean right away here just because it's on the internet doesn't mean you didn't say it publicly oh is that how that works so what is slander Shane how you break that down in layman's terms what a slander what's this defamation is that kind of like we go to the Congratulations. Oh, my God. Better travel out east, Dean. It's probably what it was. It would be. Yeah. Yeah.

We are very close to the NFL season opening. And I know Jack's incredibly excited. Can we play the song when you talk about the NFL? I don't know. That's Jack. Damn. I don't think we're allowed. Probably not.

Dunk it. Yeah. Yeah. Babba, basketball. That's the one for sure. What is the best NFL song? That one.

The Foxx one with the big day. is good i like this cbs one it's majestic they're all very good what's that no no no no no no no yeah that's the mbc that's the a team thing b a barracus he doesn't know who the bell you know who mr t is jack you the hell's mr t shut up jack right back god i'm excited for the first sunday red zone we should do something every monday as a group uh the show yeah you want more hanging out with me Monday night football with the team. You want to hang with the slanderer

and the loud moan? Yes. Pizza day? Live shows. Oh, boy. Here's your opening slate for the NFL season. It is just dead. There it is, Rhett.

America's team. Jared. America's team. I saw Jerry had an interview the other day. What do you have to say? Stephen A. And Stephen A hates the Cowboys. And Jared can't keep his mow shot.

anything he says ends up hurting him. Jerry doesn't have to keep his mouth shut. Jerry just says, you kiss mine and I'll talk all. He's got that FU money. And he's in Texas. They've got the FU attitude. They do.

They also have a effing bad team that everyone thinks is good and always underperforms and have won a playoff game since Rhett was a child, it seems. Eagles are very good. Chiefs of Chargers will be fun. That's AFC West Rivals. The Chargers have played the Chiefs tough,

but seemingly always losing the last drive. The FC West be good. This your Broncos much better. Huh. What's going on there? What do you think about the Chiefs? I think they're quite good. I don't know when Rashby Rice has been able to play. That's going to help them a lot. They've got a very good defense. And I think their offense could be better, but they need rice there. He'll start the season. But then when he gets suspended and what he misses will be. Because last year, you were very out. You said they were fraud. They were fraud. They were for months. They proved it. No axed. They're done. They're not done.

They'll be come. I think this should better offensive. You got remember the the Pacheco missed a bunch of time, came back, wasn't himself. If you get Pajekko back, you get a bunch of race. Kelsey's slowing down. He's 35 that I read? Also, I think someone said he got engaged today.

What? And we're doing this show. No one's watching this. Yeah. If there were any in the first place. I don't know. I don't think they'll be as good. They'll make the playoffs,

but they're not, they're not a jugger. They're not a home team playoff team. Father time, right? That's right. It's the bill's year. It's the bill's time, dude. God, I hope so.

Some good teams out there. That Philadelphia Eagles team still probably pretty good. Good news. If you're playing them, you're in the Super Bowl. The only time you can play in the playoffs. Yeah, that's not, uh, we've been to the Super Bowl. Not recently. Maybe next time.

This could be their year. This could be, I mean, bears? Bears? Not this year. No. Better. I saw some bear poo in the woods the other day. Really?

You're outdoorsy. Did you give it a nibble? Excuse me. It's fresh. Okay. That's a brown. Calgary stampeters. Labor Day's coming up.

Going to be a banger. They absolutely took control against the riders in the second half. Now we're within a game of top spot. They'll hold the tie break with Winnipeg and Saskatchewan, given the season series they played. And it's the Elks and the Elks and the Elk and the Elks. Next two games. Labor Day. Then the weekend to back up in the Cultural Capital.

Correct. You going again? No. Oh. You love going to him and take it. how many trips has that been like three or four it's been god it must be nice to just wheel into that town we are isn't it just rewarding to get out of your driveway and just set push that button in your car that's point it's not it's just you just have that sense of oh i'm headed to the happy yeah and it's not

even so much that that that highway is the shit that's really yeah it's what it's like it's boring and straight and congested that train thing the speed train that's what we need let's go people bullet train it's a straight line go stamps check this out they're going to be wearing the blacks you talked that's right and of course don't forget labor day they get the flyover oh my god the flyover so good now look at the graphic oh how good is that wow very cheeky honestly I like I like That is such a great look. When the flyover happens, it is like an out-of-body adrenaline rush, like, oh, try not to cry a moment.

It's unbelievable. I love it. It's the greatest thing about Labor Day. Staling is great. Football's great. Stamps are great. The flyover's unbelievable. God, I love it.

I've said this before, and it's not a shot to anybody that came up with it because you try different things, but they had the helmet with the half red, half black, the hat on the bat. Didn't love it. red help maybe go red chrome if you want but you've got to keep the red the red the red is so good that looks tidy good work fellas and even the horse was too mirro sometimes you wouldn't see the horse on the side yeah it's just a mirror yeah look at damn that looks good 4 p.m it says right there i'm not sure that's correct because i told my wife i got to be there at noon uh back to you team

if we look into that make sure the little of our wires crossed there because i know well, Easter. It's a big game. It's a May game and it'll queue up to get in. Yeah. And there'll be a lot of people that'll be before the game getting ready for the game. Yeah. It's called tail game.

Yeah. Greg's meat. Hopefully she's not watching. I don't worry about that. No, me neither. Not a consent. Yeah. All right.

Here's a chunk from Dave Dickinson. If you missed it, it's on YouTube. Boom did a great job yesterday chatting with the head coach coming off that. huge win against the Durs. Kevin this year has been crazy. And we got a beautiful, beautiful afternoon game. I mean, it was five, but it just was ideal. And it was a great crowd.

It really was back and forth. I enjoyed seeing the people in the green jersey's leaving early. I really did. Hey. That's a good little dig. Look at him. He knows. He's like, I got you.

You thought I was going to be polite, but I gave you a little dig there. Take that. Yeah. If there's going to be a bunch of them in there, the only thing that makes it better is if they all got to leave by about halfway. There's a lot of green I was told. Great crowd. I'm sure some Munson's will be hopping on a cheese wagon from Edmonton to come down for this one. Get their ass kicked. There's another three hour ride back north.

It's cool. The train. Yeah, they can't trust those clowns on the highway. McMahon's been a, because they had the rain game, which sucked. Yes, it's really sucked. But the Stampede Bowl, this one, now Labor Day. Building momentum. There's some real positive vibes going at McMahon right now.

100%. We love that. Standings, we'll show them real quick, the one game back of the Durs, but beat them twice. And I think the Durs next two are bombers because they play them inside. Yeah, they do the Banjo Bowl. So a tougher upcoming schedule for Saskatchew, at least in the near term, as compared to two with the Oxford.

You've got to take our business to your point. So what do we, you need bombers to win both here? Even a split helps you a ton because you got the tie break. If you're both, let's say eight and three, you're in first. Get both against Edmonton here. No, no. Not taking it for granted, but take care of business. Work hard, fellas.

Then you're in first. Let's go. And then you could have a banjo bowl slash Saski semi-final in the West. And the West final, comes from McMahon. Okay, we'll move. Cabreras, he was in action. Playing Athletico Ottawa on the weekend. They've been very tough.

They've been the kryptonite for the cabs. Check this goal out. This is some Moosey magic, as they call it. Play it to the back door and, oh, geez. That's a metal post, Dean. Allie, moosey. You know what that is?

That's sacrifice in the body. That's doing whatever it takes. Jack, did they film us on a potato? That's some buffering. Yeah. That's what I'm trying to figure out. No, the clip looks like that. Dial up.

There's probably the... They had a 2-0-0 lead. Had to settle for the time. They're back at home this weekend again. Stink and Forge. Huge game. What time's that? What day?

Best rivalry in the CPL, not even close. And a rematch of last year's final and other finals as well. I think we have the graphic of the game. But this is a big one coming up this weekend. There it is. Saturday 2 p.m. at Cofield, Stinking Forge. Well, look at that glare. Well, I know. It's like, you're going to come here with that BS, Tommy Smyronitis?

Bobby, I should say that's time. Right. It's Tommy Wilming. Bobby Shrana. Bobby's brother. We don't like each other. Or it's just a healthy rapper. Saturday. Saturday. Saturday.

Calgary surge season, done. The final for the league was on Sunday. They got all the way in with seven heater winning streak. to the final where Niagara did this target score 79. The foul shot falls and the roar has been restored. There's Rod Black. Rod Black. What the call?

Great run. Incredible run. Seven and a row. So they won the championship with a free throw? It's the target score and they obviously got fouled. So the free throw did win the championship. Back to back, I believe, for Niagara. The Chaters.

Jersey is, are you, right? that kind of remind you. Now, if you were going to have a party in Niagara, how long would you be at the sundowner to celebrate it? It's like Vegas. Great season. Surge, one win away and set franchise record for wins this year and all kinds of good stuff.

Two games at the dome, one in red deer. Congrats to the surge on a great year. Well done, everyone. We'll see you next spring. Love it. Yeah. That'll be great. How about all this stuff going on in our city?

There's lots, man. Too busy for you. No, Stampede. all these things. You go to the bull busing. Those are a golf thing? You go to Stampede. Golf thing?

I was at too. Yeah. Golf thing. Oh, good. Six. Sharing your germs with everyone. Way to go. Dick Green.

He was tough. Final one for you. Just thought, you know, Retz always interested in the new sports. We saw the old German grandmas with the shopping carts. Tell me you're using something. The German shopping carts last time. This is the new one I haven't seen before.

Here we go. Who you got? You got it? It's soda water or Coke? Coke. I'm taking it so hard. More energy. How many knuckles to catch on this?

This looks dangerous. Oh, there's a direct hit. It's over. Oh, it's over. Soda for the dub. Son up. That seems like, it looks like you're catching your own knucks.

I know. It's close, eh? Geez. I don't know why you have to play. I said it last time I was here, I'm sure. Mm-hmm. The Barbidel race cars down the hill. we've got to play that.

It is so good. The crowd is phenomenal. Really? Oh. Okay. Into it. That is your Pender report for this Tuesday, August 26. There you go.

Pender report brought you by Village Honda, Northwest Automol online, VillageHonda.com told you about the buying the free-owned. Maybe you're not looking to sell your car. Maybe you're looking to buy a car. New in-stock inventory on the ground, automotive adventures, begin and end. Just go for the rest of the... Life sweats, dealership for life. That's how that goes.

MSRP pricing. Maybe it's a ridgeline. Maybe it's a hybrid Honda Civic. Maybe the touring CRV. HRV, too. It's true. The passport. The pilot.

Passport looks sharp. Ah? Ah. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Village Honda.

Dot com. Okay. So they're engaged, eh? That's big news. Gosh. Yeah. I saw it one place and it's now everywhere. So yeah, yes.

Do you care? Is he a big moron or is he, uh, like I'm, he's very lovable, but is he a bit dur? Uh, well, compared to what? Yeah. Compared to other NFL, like Tom Brady does not, you never get the sense there's there with the tight end group. You're like, there's a little more dur here.

When, when your, when your wife became your fiancee, and, if people said, so that guy with the mullet and the thing, it's, I don't know. Is he a bit dur? What do you? What would you expect the answers to have been? I think she was probably a bit dur for picking me to be honest. I was cleaner cut and younger. It's true.

Uh, well, it was still you. It was still you. Incredibly. She was running out of time getting desperate. So, you know, if he'll take his shirt off and stand in the bowl river for pictures, then I guess I'll sign me up. That's all. take them.

I'll just have one cute little child. Well, congrats to T Swift and Trav. Is this just a big promotional deal to gain interest

for a podcast or something like that? I don't like that. I don't like that talk. Love is love. He was just at a wedding. Dancing. It's at a wedding. I was at a wedding.

I think I'd have roast beef? Roast beef was very good. Oh, shoot? I know, but do you think that Kelsey Swift will have Or will it be? What, yeah, what do? What a billionaires eat?

I don't know. Yeah, when you're a billionaire, what do you have for whatever you want? I'm guessing. Whatever your favorite food is. Like I'm still putting out a tray of pickles and garlic sausage and cheddar cheese and some cold cuts. Bacon dipper crackers. That's what I'm putting out there for you. Less so for Taylor, I'm thinking.

Probably, right? Well, she doesn't have to eat it, but you know the guests are going to love it. There'll be some hundred tight ends, I'm thinking. There'll be some football players. players there. Big. Oh, it'll be an extravagance. We should go report.

We should live on the streets. Do you think anyone will pay attention to it? No, I think people will respect their privacy and, uh, let them just celebrate their union together along.

Maybe we should go to Manitoba for Thanksgiving. Oh, dear.

Two years ago, we went down to, there was still, there was a team in Phoenix. Is Arizona, Dean? Yeah. They were in, uh, Phoenix is in Arizona. Oceanfront property. Was it Tempe? Is that where it was? Is that it like it was a university in Tempe?

Yeah. Uh, anyway, it tells you, boy, grown old. Yeah. Jack, did you even know there was a team in Arizona? What were they called? Probably you don't even remember. Um, but yeah, we did a, uh, a Barnburner trip down. to watch the flames and the whoever they were at the time

I got to go and work the board for you guys. says kickoff and forth yeah I'm working the board I got to work the board I don't want you to want me to tell you I'm not bringing the board I know you're not bringing the board I know you're not bringing the board make sure you don't talk about your cat and sniffy one's here yeah so we got that probably on the way we're gonna have to have some kind of my guess is some kind of a season kickoff type deal probably Greta maybe get down to the valley text about the flames golf kickoff that is really

the unofficial start of the season. It is. When the Flames golf tournament's happening, it's like, okay. And there's always that little prickle in the area. Like, ooh, this is a prickle. Ooh. Yes, it's a little chilly.

Some years, very, very chill. And it can be nice in the day, but everyone's up there early and you're like, oh, yeah, there's a little chill in the air. Brisk. So, yeah. After another hockey season, two or three weeks off from doing the show,

we'll all come back and be raring to go. We'll let the flames show us the way. What's the day of the golf tournament? Eighth. Sounds about A week after the flame Show us the way. So there's this week

and then the next week and then the weekend. They don't invite us to that. I said we should go sponsor a whole I think they'd really like to. I think they'd like to invite us. I've asked and I've got answers but I'm not liberty to say them.

No, it's not worth saying. It's all right. It's quite all right. But I have pitched us into a different event even better than the golf tournament. I don't like when you're. you get us involved in events without talking about it first. Very good.

Good. Don't you have some bus thing with him? Bus. Right. The Cavs game coming up. Oh, yes, September 20. Cavs. That's right away.

At home against Valor. That's coming up quick. I'm going to meet an elephant castle, just off 17th Avenue 4th Street. Mission, outline. So when's been chair tray, Karlsburg, bus to the game, tickets, bus back.

And they're giving away a jersey at the Elephant Castle as well. They've got a website link we will have in the show description, Jack. I'll put it in right now. And that's where you can buy tickets to join us on the bus trip. Why worry about how you're going to get there in parking? I'll just have a beer, get on the bus with us. And two things about that is it's one thing to go to a fun game. But you're going with a group, you're right in the belly of the beast.

Yes. Like those are. That's the people you want to be with. Yeah, there'd be a lot of these supporters group people would be on that bus. That's right. not bored. It should be fun. No Pentecton this year. Nope.

They are in the Western Hockey League and I wonder if that didn't conflict some of the availability of years. They're not going to Penticton? The event is not happening. I think the Flames will likely announce a Oilers Flames rookie game like they did in Red Deer a few years ago. That seems to be the default when they don't go one of these tournaments. Yeah.

It'll probably be back soon in a different venue. I don't know. What we're talking about is in Pantikton, they'd have the Young Stars tournament. You know, four to six teams would come. Teams would show up. And you try. So what is it you're looking to glean from this?

Is it because the games don't matter. And you got some guys are 25 or the guys just turned 18. So, you know, we don't really care. It wins or losses. If it's, and you've seen them on the ice plenty, and they will be on the ice plenty. They probably don't need another three skates, which you could do anywhere. You do want to put in games, though. If it's team bonding and what have you, then.

It's not team bonding because it's. game's not there. No, and they saw, what's the Reginald's kid that was scrapping like crazy in that tournament too? Like,

it's, if you're going to go out and play and be physical and impose your will, nice to do that against some other jersey, not necessarily going out some vet and camp. So they let the,

the rookies who are champing at the bit, go play some other rookie teams, and then say, okay, fellas, now you're going to, the vets are coming in. Here's what we need to work on if you're going to make this team.

So yeah, the event is not taking place. There will have rookie games, I'm sure. There will be games. in place somewhere else in some in some form rep and red deer like five years ago i want to say pat and i were doing afternoon so it's about five years ago this one's for pat hey pat cinar league yes bailed on the draft i think it's three years in a row he said he's going to be there and bailed

i was very busy uh yeah i might not be uh i might not be able to make it there but i'll be on remote i'd have come but a password password let's take a look at our bets of the day bet three six five props game props totals money line over under whatever it is it's never ordinary at bet three six five can you go to the two shot jack look at that oh not let up lit up it does look lit up it looks lit up it's not let up nominal kind of like pinder now lit up yeah download the app get in on the game must be 19 or older bets of the day I think we got some CFL data here. The Blue Jays have been a ton of fun.

They've got six starters now. Blue Jays. Asset, then Lauer against Minnesota, off day. Then Shane Bieber will go against the brew crew, two of the top two three rooms in baseball. Squaring off this weekend. And then, of course, Labor Day on Monday. Oh, heavy favorites.

Seven points. Seven and a half points? A touchdown plus. Those stinking elk, elk, elk. Elk Elks. Been good of late. Been a rough decade. Better of late.

I looked at the Labor Day classic history. The last 18 Labor Day games, those are the Calgary version, not the Emmington. How many of the last 18 do you think it's now? 12. That would be a lot and very successful. And I believe like a 666 winning percentage.

Better than that. I was going to say it's better than that. They lost last year. Oh, that was tough. 15 14 yeah 18 the riders have won 15 in the last 19 against winnipeg really yes riders tough in rich china riderville yeah yeah and then the bombers of the heavy record in their favor of the last of the while in winnipeg in the return match so some great cfell football coming out you this weekend line seven and a half minus 110 probably jump on that line rather than the money line what i mean probably

number yeah other thing that paid off very nicely last week was the Diedrick Mills first touchdown of the game. God bless you, buddy. He's a machine. I'll say it under. There it is. Nice. Bet365. Get the app and that's the

other thing. We know the football's coming. Hockey's coming. Stop. Get the app and get it ready. Just be ready. Be ready. Don't be read a minute before saying pass. Write your password down. Figure out your password. Because I can't get into this one. Get it ready. When it's one minute before kickoff, don't be looking for your password.

Check it now and get ready. Download the app, get it in the game with Bet365. And I do think we actually had a super chat. So big money here coming to the youth centers of Calgary. Oh, really? Yeah, we take all of the super chat cash, the donations, and pass them along. $2.79.

When will you get serious and do an auction draft? Oh boy Auctions are complete chaos. Are you familiar with how they work? Yeah. Right? So rather than saying like, oh, Dean picks first, he picks the name, he gets the guy.

You go in order and you announce any name in the league with a bid amount and then the person next to you has the option to bid higher or pass and around around it goes until the top bidder gets a guy. But it's not necessarily the best players first. It's chaos. Yeah, you can throw out whoever. but if you want Josh Allen,

you can probably get it. You have to just outbid everyone else. This is not a good thing for me because my heart's going to... I know. What do we'd start with all bills and be out of cash five rounds in, and then you sit and wait,

$1, $2, damn it. Out of cash. Throw out of another plate. Or you only get a certain amount. Oh, you got a certain amount of cash. I think you should do it differently. I think you should do it. You have to use your real money.

You really wants to spend. You're the Jerry Jones of the auction draft. You spend as you see fit. It's like the LA Dodgers spending $325 million on the roster. You're damn right. I'm spending 40. Yeah, I've done that with, I used to do that.

We had a baseball one that was like that. Oh, that's chaos. And inevitably, you had guys that couldn't resist when their favorite players. And you knew it. A hundred dollars. Some do cents or whatever it is. So you have 100 bucks to spend,

$75. on whoever. And then you sit there to fill out your roster. And all you can, you've got $12 left and you need 12 players. So for $1, $2. Wait till it comes. So is it.

$1. $2. Damn it. Okay. Next. Wait till everyone's out of money and then get your $12. $1 players. Then you just get your $12.1 guys.

Like I'm with him. It is the purest, but you have to be very on top of things for someone to pull, like a handcuff running back out and nowhere to value that. That's wild. It makes trades harder because you have to, because then after that, at least ours, you had that salary cap. Oh, you still to balance your budget. Yeah.

So if you, then if you wanted $80 Josh Allen, you were never going to be able to get it. Balance your budget. Yeah. Yeah, but you had Josh Allen. Did you get him yesterday? I didn't get in fast enough. Oh, right.

Password. Yeah. Password. Right. No, now you can show us your. GMing skills, right? You always said that's an easy job. He's managed the roster to championship. I couldn't even GM with the first pick last year. First pick played one game.

No McCaffrey this year. For you. Someone else got him. I think McBride got him. Well, I was thinking to it because in the year before you were very upset with Lamar. Yes. Yes. That's he's had the bad Lamar and it's actually the exact same scenario where I've had Lamar twice and he has been horseshit twice. And I've had McCaffrey twice and the same result. That's bad luck. The years you don't have them just for the record. Real good. Yeah, league winners.

MVP. Top of the position. I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah, you seem upset. So this is up, eh? This is up. Do we want to talk about it or do we want to make sure everything's good? Well, it's up.

I mean, yeah, it's up. All right. Are we ready? I'm not. I guess we do it. fellas, be ready. Yeah, I would like to Perizet, do it Tuesday.

Yeah, we'll do it tomorrow. I just, I would like to have some clarity. Yeah. Because there's different tiers. Things, or we could just do it. There's times when we've started things. I thought we were.

You know, we'll figure it out. There's details on the place there. But either you're now. But if we wait, I mean, it's more time to get it in to get people on board. How many listeners? There are four different tiers. Four.

Single double. It's like tryouts. I haven't eaten in a day, Dean. This is killing me right now. I say just give her hell, read. What do you eat the rest of the week, Red? If you skip Monday, like, are you a very keto focused, but. High protein.

Yeah. Low carbs. Mm-hmm. It's hard. New time of my hungry carbs are just easy. Oh, it's right there. I'll just put a piece of toast in. It's great.

Oh, look. Chips, lovely. Chips are so good. Just the tortillas are not even unhealthy. It's just more carbs, though. Oh, God. Jack, throw it out there. Subject to change or wait.

Let's throw it out there. Throw it out there. This is the worst launch ever. I don't know. I think people are going to like this. October 31st to November 3rd. we are going to bring you the barn burner vacation to Nashville. Oh, sweet Lord.

That's a tough one. Chelsea LaBelle with Expedia cruises in Edmonton has been working on this with our folks in Edmonton. Oh dear. And Chelsea has, she's gone, she's navigated the murky waters. And we're going to Nashville. Oof, duh. Here is what we've got for you. direct round trip flights from Calgary to Nashville.

Perfect. Bus transportation to and from the airport. Three nights in a downtown Nashville hotel. Now, if you've not been to Nashville, it's going to be near Broadway and the Bridgestone Arena is right on Broadway. Everything's like a three block radius. Yeah, it's everything's buzzing. So we're going to be walking distance from that, which is great.

You will get a lower bowl ticket to the flames and Preds. I've got some seriously dangerous news about that. that is an afternoon matinee game. You can have a huge shift on Broadway. And an upper bowl ticket to see the Titans and Chargers and Chargers. You see that what? Isn't Cam Ward first overall pick? Yes, sir.

So Saturday hockey, Sunday football, they have different. And now again, there's the different tiers, which is why there was there's the non-flight package. If you're there, you want to be part of it. We've got something there for you. double occupancy, single occupancy. You want to fly, but you're like, I don't want a roommate. I'm just, I'm just coming.

They've got an option for that one. Probably the most popular, I would think, would be the package with double occupancy. And this is also worth mentioning. Please be 21 years of age. Right. That's going to be helpful in Nashville. Just to quick heads up there. 21.

That's a thing. So there you go. It's Chelsea LeBelle, Expedia Cruises. the links. So now where do you find it? Go to nationgear.ca. There's also, if you're on Flamesnation.com, you can click on the nation gear link and it'll take you there. Northeast Edmonton Expedia cruises.

Want your own space? Snag a solo room and kick back after a long night. I'll take one of those. Riding with a buddy, double up, split the cost and save yourself a few bucks for beers and hot chicken. There is that. How to be? Now, of course, we're going to try and sell you

on this, but we've done a number of trips from our radio days. We've done the one here. We did the draft. We've done a lot. There's nothing that is compared to a Nashville trip. Nothing like it. We went to L.A., we went to Florida.

We've been to drafts and done all this sort of thing. There is nothing like Nashville. Number one spot. One Nashville. It's, um, get those pink drinks at the game. One of those called again? They're delicious. It doesn't, yeah, I don't know.

You bought a hoodie. You went bowling. Lost my wallet. broke a rib. Oh, yeah, you broke somebody else's right.

Someone else's. That was fine. We went on the one trip and it was a high level executive with the company we used to work at. God, that's just so good, Jack.

He walked in, like ran himself into a road sign on Broadway and cut himself wide open. Josh's face open. We were on the bus back to the, to the airport. And he had, it was taped up and he was kind of bruising and stuff.

How am I going to explain this to my life? That doesn't look like you're, into a roadside. Even best case, I didn't get into a fight. I ran into a roadside. That's not a lot better. The signs are moving like you're not a lot better. We've had people miss the game. Because the first, well, well, fair enough. Um, what times the game? Is it all over what side? Did they look good? It's an unbelievable spot. You've heard the stories. If you've been, you want to go back. If you've never been, this is the best time to do it. And what's cool about, again, that area, because where we're going to

going to stay is by lower Broadway. The rink is right on, you've seen, everybody's seen it. It's right across from Tootsie's. Red always talks about Toottsies. It's literally Kitty Corner. And from there, it's probably a half hour walk or a short Uber right across the river to the football stadium. Is it a half hour

even? Maybe, yeah, it's a big river to cross, but yeah, it's, you're walking to an NFL game. It's like a wandering tailgate. It'll be great. And it's on a weekend. It's a Saturday, Sunday. We had looked at some other things that were potentially midweek and maybe two close to Christmas or to this is right in the pocket boys the only yeah like the only concern is

is maybe a little bit tight because it's the end of October but I feel like let's get our let's get it together uh nation gear dot see right now by the way I just wanted to bring this everyone's attention the Friday yeah so that's the day we fly it's the day we land in Nashville yeah it's Halloween oh October 31st oh no jack we're going to get you married I'm at And divorced. And divorce. Yeah, the whole thing. And I'll be turning 27 on this trip.

Come on. Oh, happy. Oh, that's the best. That's all the good ones die. It's a great year. Great, great year. So, peak age 27, probably P.K. Okay.

So if you want the full package single, you just, you're going to fly. You want your own room. No sharing. No shares these. 3399. Okay. The full package flights, hotels, double occupancy, 2599.

So I feel like that's the one. that is probably the most sought after. You're going to handle your own, your own getting, $26.99. Non-flight for the single, and then non-flight double occupancy is $17.99. There you go. So there you go. Join us, friends.

And I don't, I don't know how much stock I would put into the six left, 10 left, because they're probably, that will probably move as packages get booked. I would also say if you're keen, get it locked down quick. Get her in there. And be keen. I would be keen. I am keen. As soon as this, we bug Ryan about it.

But when the NHL schedule came out, let's sit down and take a look so we can get this happening this year. And because it was October, it was one of the first ones you stumble across while they're in Nashville on a Saturday. I wonder are the Titans home? They are home. Okay. Well, let's done. let's zero in because I know last year we had looked at Dallas Dallas the flames played on a Sunday and the Monday nighter was Bengals Cowboys. But Bengals and Cowboys were preseason hype machines and the tickets were just spiraling.

It was not going to. Tickets were hard to. It's going to five hundred bucks to get that game. Of course, the day arrives. It doesn't imagine. We're going to Nashville. But Nashville. But Nashville. You're cooking. So the link is on the web. Flamesnation.com.CA on the nation gear or just go right to nationgear.C. and what is the drop down there? The travel. The link will be in the description for the show. Yeah, and we'll start firing it out on all of our social.

That's, man. Be ready. Start training. Be ready. Yeah, get on the bike. Get your cardio up. Start doing some squats or whatever you need to do, but be ready. Treadmeal beers into you.

Be ready. It's the 26th of August. All time number one top favorite, favorite road city in your career? Yeah, probably. What would even be competing? Or is it one with all? There's lots of good spots, but it's, it's pretty unique. You would circle that on the calendar.

Definitely. Tutsi. Oh, and this one, you like the direct flight. Oh, it's important. Yeah. Because it's not super long. It's, yeah. Direct is very, very nice.

They start live music at 10 in the morning. Oh, I can't wait. All day. You're going to have breakfast and you don't leave. No, you don't. Yeah. There is a game, apparently. We'll see who makes it.

There are two games. I wonder how many will make both one or any. I should have drafted some Titans. Oh, you got Omerian Dino, don't you? I do. Yes. You have a pep talk with him. Get him going.

Yeah, I'll have to talk to him. There you go, buddies. That's kind of what we're looking at. We did the super chat. We've got the 365. We got everybody in. All in, all good. And one way or another, the show is going to be ramping up here from two to three to

maybe four, five, probably eventually five days a week. It'll be a ramp. We just want to steep the ramps, sis. Good stuff. Everyone good? Jack, how was the show today? Great show. How was your mic on that side of the table?

Do you like it better? Yeah. Yeah. You didn't even notice. I moved the thing from, because over here was kind of, this is how we had it before. no it's always been here on another side really speaking of didn't notice mics jack saved your bacon did he a little bit quite a bit what do we always tell ret when he's remote he just logs on and it's like

ret tap your mic yeah but this oh did i not plug it in or what no you're good today today you're perfect to how we're remote when you're at home did i not have the mic No. Jack, but you know, on it, and it sounds great. I couldn't even tell. With Dickinson or the show? With Dickinson. But AI, Rhett. The AI, it sounded unreal. Interesting. You did the pre and post to me before and after the AI. I was like, you saved that entire interview, Jack. I didn't. A. I did. Oh, I know exactly what it is. Oh, I was, I was wondering, because you've been switching things around. I've moved to the, I've moved to the basement. Yeah. And there again, until you start doing well, where's the mic arm got to be? Well, it's not too. So I've got, it's the, uh, just hold it. I've got the booster.

You need the booster. Boost. So I unplug the booster. Plug the microphone back in, plugged in, but I need to plug into the booster. So was it just the laptop or like, yeah, it just came through your computer. That would have sounded like shit. It sounded good in my ears because I was plugged into the board.

Yeah, there you go. Boy, it's not great at my end. I watched it all. It's a great interview. Check that out. If you haven't. And great work, Jackson. thought about me anyway, right?

Dave's not a great. Dave's not. Who cares what I? No one cares about me. My kids, my wife, you guys, nobody. Grandma does. Yeah, can't we see it? Yeah, can't be a pick, apparently.

No, I mean, she's not Winnipeg, but eight gas stations is going to stop after. She just hopes I get them there. Whether or not I stick around is probably up there. All right. I'm going to press this button right here. Good luck. So are we back Tuesday?

Is that what we decided? Jesus, Jack. I don't know. I don't know. I'm happy. It's a long weekend. I think we decided at least Tuesday, right? Yeah, Tuesday.

For sure. After Labor Day, we'll come in and celebrate. We'll come in. Tuesday show will come in. What do we got Thursday? What do you got teed up? This Thursday. Still deciding.

Oh, it's a tease. I like it. Yeah, I like it. You don't want to back yourself into a corner. I wanted to let the cat out of the bag. It didn't do it. That's good. Do you have a preference, Ryan?

No. No. They're all good and they're all going to play at some point. Okay. It ain't rotten. See ya, buddies.
