There he is. Look who's back. It's our big buddy rat back on the program here on a Thursday. Barn burner. There's Pinder. Look at him. Look at the Rettster. Are we just staying with the Rettster? Is that what we're doing? You look like a strategic lefty bullpen arm for the Yankees who has, he needs goggles to throw strikes. Yeah. Yeah, you look. Here comes the Rettster. It's a lefty on lefty matchup and he needs a,

at least three batters. Who was the Jay's pitcher that wore the goggles? The, yeah, Trent Thornton. Was it? Yeah. You looked like you could be. Way back. You're a Trent Thornton.

You're a tall guy. Way back, wasn't there? There's a few, but that's the most recent. Well, Tom Henke, of course, wore, like, rimmed glasses, yeah. He looked like he was doing his taxes. I can see, see, I could see the plate, and I know where to throw it, but I can't see the sign. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, you're like, you hate that stuff.

stupid pitchcom, too. You're not using that thing. You need to see the finger. You're like wild thing, Ricky Vaughn. Remember, oh, Ricky couldn't hit the strikes on. He had to wear the goggles. The wild thing. Yeah.

Forget about the curveball, Ricky. Give him the heater. Great movie. You like that one? Some good baseball movies. Yes, I did. My kid pooped it. And I'm like, you're an idiot.

Get out of you. That's all right. I could see him turn to his kid and say exactly. You're an idiot. Like, he's offended. You hear that in his voice? He's like, oh. If you get a talk, if you get a talk,

watch your mouth. There you go, John on the YouTube chat, Brett Cecil. Cecil, yeah. Yeah. That's who I was thinking of for sure. Okay. So, explain yourself. Where were you yesterday?

We had Colin Patterson. He more than made up for your absence. He had a Bill's jacket on. He was so, he was jacked up to talk to you. He played for the Sabres. He loves Buffalo. Rexdale, Ontario was, you couldn't wait to talk bills with you and you stood him up.

Jerk. I watched and listened this morning to Colin. He was excellent. He's always great. He just text me because I said, great job. It's too bad. Your hat was all smushed on your head.

You looked like an idiot. But other than that, you're awesome with stories. That's about as complimentary as it gets from Rhett to an 89 guy. Yeah. That's the Red compliment sandwich. Hey, Hey,

you were good. Yeah. Something really negative. You look like an idiot. But other than that, it was really great. It was really good. I was getting fingerprinted.

I want to get legalized here. Getting fingered. Freddy got fingered. Daddy, would you like some sausage? And I got to tell you, lickety split, I probably could have done the show. Well, thanks for letting us know. That's good info now. I had a one o'clock appointment at 105, I was done.

So now they're just sifting. One of those things where you had government things that you just dread, you're like, don't go on this will take forever. You can be here for days. Showed up. No one in there? Went through security, sat down. By the time I sat down, guys, come on in the back here.

Zip, zip, zip. Done. Signing the autographs? Done. Not in the great U.S. of A. That's how they roll. I know. Efficient.

Old Uncle Sam. It was at least that part. Yeah. So now the cold cases get flipped through for the next couple of weeks, and then if those come up green light, then you're good? Yeah. I feel like they had my fingerprints before, so I'm on file. somewhere. Where are the bodies buried? Rat.

What was the movie? It's actually not funny to say that because some of these Netflix shows that are out right. Yeah. It's weird. People enjoy watching that stuff. It's like, would you like to have nightmares and hear about like the worst point zero zero zero one percent of like human civilization? Like, no, I'm good. And people love it. Like, oh, I can't sleep without it. Like what? You need to hear about murders and cold cases to get to sleep? You're fucked. Wasn't it? It's something about Mary where Ben Stiller. They mistake him for being like the the truck stop murderer or something. The cop starts

beating his head against the window. That'd be you. I only remember the hair gel from that movie. That is seared into our memories that scene. I need to rewatch that one. I think it might. I haven't watched. Have there been any good comedies lately? Like true classics.

It feels like we had a golden air there with Chris Farley and early Will Ferrell and there's some good ones in a we had. Right. Like when we think back on comedies, we think they were the best ever back then. Dumb and dumber and, you know what I mean? Like all those Tommy Boy. Wedding Crashers. Yeah.

Yeah. Were we just young and thought everything was funny? I'm just thinking of it right now because we had no movies for about a year and a half because of COVID. Comedy's harder these days too. Because there were no movies. You used to be able to make fun everything. Now you can't make fun anything. Comedy movies.

That's probably the biggest point, Pinder. You're probably bang on. You're just like, well, we can't say that. So it's kind of not that funny. They consider Bullet Train a comedy. Did you see Bullet Train? That was like an action one with what's his name, Jason Statham. Every movie he said.

No, it wasn't. That was Brad Pitt. Oh, okay. My bad. Brad Pitt. Yeah. It's actually, I liked it. But was it action or was it a comedy?

Both. It's kind of a darker kind of a comedy thing. but not like the ones we just mentioned, right? Jackass. Like American Pie. Remember the first time you watched American Pie? Yeah. Speaking of scenes you weren't for now.

We're dying. I don't know any of these. Stifler's mom. There again, another sign. We're getting old. It's inevitable. Okay. Hey, speaking of old.

Yes. So, what night did the Sabre score six? Was it Tuesday night? Sure. It had to be Tuesday night. so Tuesday night down at the rink the the sabres are playing LA so I got to go do a drop the kid off to do his workout before practice I'm running over to do a charity event go downstairs because the rinks of the sixth floor of the building blah blah blah get out of the elevators three of my the kids from my son's team or they stopped at Tim's for something they're getting on the elevator hey boys how's it going yeah turn the corner and who's sitting on the bench But the GM of the Los Angeles Kings. Rob Blake.

Rob Blake. What a beauty. So I sit and talk with Blake because I know him and he was around when I did the Marty McSorley and the whale joke. That's right. Blah, blah, blah. And I told the whale joke on Saturday night in Wilkesbury to a bunch of parents because Marty McSorley's name came up. He goes, you wouldn't believe it. We were talking about the whale joke the other day, Burj and I and other guys.

blah blah blah to the old story so i leave good luck talk to larry blakey he said i'll call you when we need you so i'm walking down the street and and i'm like i wonder like what those 13-year-old boys have recognized and said hello like hi mr blake so i get back to the rink get on the ice and i sit the boy hey fellas did any of you know who that man was they're like uh No. I'm like, well, it was Rob Blake. And the stairs got blanker. Like the stairs that looked at you.

They're like, who are Robin Blake? Like Rob. Blake who? No clue who Rob Blake was. Not a clue. Hall of Famer, GM of a team, like one of the best ever. He was. He could do everything.

Same chance they could tell you who told Blake was as Rob Blake. Yeah. Okay. So now listen. You know what you have to do now. I was just going to say, you can't tease an epic joke and not deliver. Because it'll be probably single digit percentage of people. I don't have.

You have to. We're on the freaking internet. I don't have the props. I don't have the props. No. Go and get. Tomorrow's show is a Friday. No, no.

Hawaiian shirt day. No, because he won't do it then either. Go and get a glass of water. We're going to do on drinking pants Tuesday. No. I'm doing it on drinking pants. Come on. Drink your pants day.

It's better when I'm drinking. Yeah, he's right. You guys decide. Don't be upset at the timing. Be happy that it's happening. No, but see, here is the thing. You're pissing off everybody right now. That's a good tease.

It's a deep tease. You and I know the story so we can be like, oh, yeah, just wait until next week. It's sell you. Oh. Sometime between now and Christmas, I'll tell it. You have tuned in every minute of every show.

Yeah, so I have to listen to every show. I don't know. Works for us. Branding. It's great. It's up to you. You guys, I don't, I don't make this. You've got enough stories.

You don't need to be hammered to tell that story. It would be all stories are better when you're drunk, receiving or giving the stories. What do you need for a prop? You need a glass of water, right? I need a drink. Off you go. So get one? Go get it.

Go get a drink. So I press mute? No, just leave it on. You don't want to get a dry throat when you're telling a joke. Just take your cans off. year. Rob Blake, 1, 270 games.

He's calling you all the time. I have no idea. No, this is New York now. What the hell? Am I in trouble? 777 points. 1679 Pims. How many Norris's?

Norris. Would have had at least a couple, I would think. He won one in 97, 98. Yeah. And then he finished third, fourth, fourth, fourth. third, fifth. Like he was on the ballot every damn year for a while there. Yeah.

Who, Rob Blake? Yeah. The year he won the Norris, 23 goals, 50 points. Oh, baby. Yeah, I had him in a keeper league back then. It was the year before they did time on ice, so it doesn't show, but he averaged a couple years later, 2830. A game.

He crushed, he crushed by Buddy Wilm so bad. One game came across because that's the thing. Well, I guess we remember. Remember his hip checks? Yes. He used to hit you with his hip like right here, right in the middle of your chest. His hip would hit, pooh! Your breath's just out.

Gone. The rest of the game, you're done. I was trying to think how would he have gotten to Colorado? Because he was a king and then went to, because he, did he win a cup? I think he did in. Not in L.A. He won a cup in Colorado. Yeah.

No, he won a, he want to, yeah, Colorado. With the apps, yeah. Look at that D-line. Bork, Blake, Ozelinch, foot. Wai and net. Yeah, decent. Okay. Traded with Stephen Rineprecht, former flame,

to Colorado for Adam Dedmarsh, Aaron Miller, Jared Allan, a first round pick that turned into David Steckle. Man, that's a deep blue line. Martin Scula, John Clem. Scula. Gap Sula, Rigaer, Scula and Rigaer were the,

remember when Rigaer got traded here, Colorado had the choice of Scula or, or, Riger to give up. They had four first rounders that year, if I'm correct. Yeah, it was something like that, yeah. They had two high and two later ones. And part of the deal was one of those kids. And Rere had the horrible car thing, broke both as femurs. and I think if not for that, maybe they keep them.

Who knows? I don't know the timing exactly, but there was a thought that Regear might not play for a while there. I've told this before. I was in Saskatoon and I woke up and I was sitting at Mom and Dad's kitchen table looking at this newspaper and it was front page, the picture of Reggie's car. It was like, oh my God.

No one walks away from that. Not good. You look at that. You got someone up above taking care of it for living through that. Four first rounders that year for Colorado. Because you know I hate to do it. 1998.

Nailed it. Tangay 12. Oh, wow. Schoola 17. Regier 19 and big Scott Parker 20. Sheriff. Tough.

Those are good picks. So yeah. The flames took Rico Fada before all of those guys. Yeah, well, you know, Rico. Oh, God. I remember my uncle was doing a little doing a little scouting for the burns.

And I was like, hey, what do you think of the flames first round? He's like, I don't think he's going to play. I'm like, oh, God, six overall. It was like, it was a week after the draft. I'm like, how can you do this? And like, give Rico credit. He might have got 150 games as like a depth plumber. But like, God, what are you doing?

It was the year before after Daniel Kuchuk, they were so shitty at the draft then. It was demoralizing. He played 27 games for the flames. Oh, I'm moving on. Pittsburgh, you got some runway, I think. What about the fact that Colorado has four first round picks with the team they have and they just won a bloody Stanley Cup? How did they get four first round picks?

Right? Like, how do you call? I'm going to go, what? I'm looking at this. Insanity. Rico Fata played 230 NHL games. See what I mean? Like he turned into a decent bottom, a half of the lineup.

How did he get 16 goals with the penguins in 03,04? Someone must have been banking now. First round. Christ. Dick Tarnstrom led them in scoring. What? Big Dick Tarndstrom. Dirty Dick.

And that was a shit team. How did he get 16? Milan Kraft, the former PA Rader Retro had 19. 22 for Ryan Malone. This is not supposed to happen. Dirty Dick, Tarmstrom, and Alexei Morozov. Gross. Gross.

Oh, yeah. So anyway. The, the Marty McSorley story. We've kind of gone past it now, haven't we? You got a prop. Let me go back to him. Okay, so we go to the Stanley Cup finals in 2004 and we lose. And in like the lockout was the next year.

Oh, four or five was the lockout. And in like, I forget when it was. It had to be fairly, was we sat around and did nothing because we fully, like, no one expected to play. And I was depressed about losing my third Stanley Cup final, blah, blah, blah. So they decide Pat Brasson and who's the other agent? He was Regier's agent. He was a local Calgary guy who was in Colonna a lot for a long time.

Morris or? Oh my gosh. Say that again? Not Pat Morris. He's not a Calgary guy. He was the guy that was with Manjipani. Local guy. No, it's not.

No. Anyway, it's irrelevant. So these guys decide they're going to do a world stars tour. and Andy McRieth was part of organizing it. So him and Regier, who was one of the agents' clients, they put in a good word for the Redster. So all of a sudden, the Redster is invited on the World Stars Tour with like Shannon and Robo Blank and Hachick and Marty Broder and like stars.

Yeah. Why wouldn't you be invited? Anyway. Yeah. Yeah. Really fit in. So I'm nervous from the start. So, and then Marty McSorley's coaching with who else was coaching?

I can't even remember because Marty was so obnoxious as a coach. He was, we're over in Europe. At first we think, all right, we're going to treat this as our, this December. And so we're going to treat this as a get in shape in case these negotiations turn. And we play after Christmas come the new year. that we're kind of like, yeah, okay, that's what's probably going to happen. So, okay, we're here getting shape, play some games. Well, halfway, not even, three games into this trip, the union offers up a 24% rollback and all these cuts and kind of our big proposal.

And the league kind of winks and it goes, yeah, thanks, but no thanks. So we're like, definitely we're definitely we're not playing. So it is full on party mode, except that Marty McSorley, he's coaching and he thinks we should be serious about this. So now he's benching guys. He's having morning skates. We're like moving, sitting guys if they're not making plays and giving them shit for penalties. And guys are like, oh, enough already. Anyway, we're in Switzerland after game.

And so after the games, you always have. mix and mingle with the sponsors you know with fans sponsors so you have a few drinks then you hop on the bus back to the hotel and then hit hit down well i get spashed up at the mixed single thing and get on the bus and marty because he's the coach he sits right at the front of the bus right because that's where the coach sits and so i think i'm funny so i got this joke it's called the whale joke so i stepped up to the front of the bus i'm feeling pretty cool i grabbed the mic and i'm start my joke and it's well what sound and i'm asking marty so what sound does a mouse make squeak squeak what sound does a cat make meow meow dog woof woof horse elephant you know i'm going through all these and you

drag it out as long as possible and then it's everyone's like what is this idiot this is terrible then you get to the what sound you what sound does a whale make You take a sip of your beer and he exploded all over Marty. I think I just ruined my computer. Oh, you're good. So I blow this. The whale spout, blew all over Marty. Boys lose it, I imagine.

Everyone's dying laughing. It's hilarious. Like, I'm high-fiving on the way to the back. Guys are laughing. Funniest joke ever. I think it's great. You got to avoid retro. I had the long.

Yeah. I had the long. locks and the blonde hair and I'm sitting in the middle seat in the back it's the bench seat right and I'm right in the middle and Marty's at the front and he keeps looking back and his head is like red like exploding mad and I'm still laughing and I don't know if I said something else like ah don't shoot the messenger Marty because I got I'm on a roll right I got to keep it up all of a sudden the big galute he's up and he's charging oh dear and he's coming down the bus down the aisle and I'm like whoa I'm like what what's going on now what right and he runs

to the back and he picks me up by my long hair and his picks me up and boom smashes my head down on the ground like I'm a piece of lumber this now you look you Eric now you got Blake on an arm and do me on a leg and Shanahan's grabbing something and trying to pull him off you know ducking and and trying to hide it was an absolute shit show and yeah so that's uh that's that's the whale joke and then my buddy deke did he walked up to rob blake in Vegas one year in the summer and because he knew Blake was there and he's like hey Rob you ever what sound is a whale make and Blake's like what oh hey yeah yeah yeah Marty was so strong like farm boy strong right Because that's almost not an exaggeration

That it would take four guys to pull him off of you Dude, he literally picked me up by my hair Like it was nothing In a small compact area Like I was under the chair in an instant So fast forward about 10 years I'm at this charity event It's uh hockey playing hockey

Whatever I can't even mark Napier Like it was some some guys are going through Troutown. Marty McSorley is one of the NHL celebrities that we're playing, I don't know, firemen or something. It's like, oh, I'll have to tell Marty. Oh, have good laugh. Hey, Marty, how are you? Oh, hey, how you doing?

Yeah, this is. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do the radio, do radio show here in town. Me and Rhett Warner. You remember, Rhett? Yeah, that's good. Thanks. Over.

Conversation over. He would, if you saw him today, he might pick you up by the hair again if he could. we made up did you kiss some makeup yeah made up god yeah and so how how many i apologize that too that's good yeah how many drinks in would you have been when you did the whale i was on no but you got it wasn't even because that's the same trip the turkey happened and there was more to that trip like oh anyway i was on a run i was told you i was depressed i lost three cups in a row it wasn't a it wasn't a one day event trust me Yeah.

Because all I'm thinking is that's the type of joke. The more gibbled you are, the funnier it is. Oh, yeah. Because of how childish is. And it's physical comedy. Oh, man. That would have been the funniest joke in the world on that bus. And then McSorley comes thundering down the aisle.

Massive human. I figured out how they got four first round picks. Oh, is that right? Yeah, go ahead. And they even traded their own. So they had made four deals to get first round. rounders that year, the Colorado.

Ritchie and Donovan to the sharks for number 12. Oh, no. There was a Laquois and... Eric Laquois. Eric had to be. Eric Laquois to the Kings for Fisei,

and there was a pick swap. And so they both swapped first round picks. Landon Wilson to the Bruins with Anders Merveld for a first rounder. That's crazy. Well, he was... Was he a tightly tout?

Outed, yeah. And then it was Curtis Lecission and Chris Simon to the capitals for it first. Wow. Imagine making a deal out of first four of them. Like that's, it was like Burke trading up to get the Cydides. It's like how in today's NHL you just don't move first like that or get that high in the drought. Like it's,

that's crazy for first. There's no trades anymore. It's all boring. Well, there's one this summer. Take me back. NBA trade this summer. Yeah. Take me back to those days.

Those are the good old days. Stupid cap. Moving in everything. So the flames lose again last night. It's a four games. Did. Yeah. Do we do what you have whatever?

Winless or losing? Winless streak, losing streak. Point streak. Three games. Point streak. Winless. They are winless. Winless streak.

01 and 3. Some similarities. Another one shot, one goal against. Actually, two for two. Yeah, then two for two. And an early penalty. It was all going. going according to script there for a while.

I think Blake Coleman wasn't happy either that for all the high sticks the flames have been called for, that he got his lip cut open and it was undetected. He was, he was bloodied. Yeah, he was. No call. And there again, on that first shot, it's a great redirect by Horvatt. You can't really blame the goalie. Not on that one.

It's like, well, it's the next one. You're like, oh, boy, you wish he had that one on Garland, but then it's like, he's probably putting that in a space not much bigger than a puck. Yeah, that's pretty good. pretty good tip. How much money's Horvac can I get, man? Like he's already at what, 21, 22? Like, he'll have to cool off to stop at 40 considerably.

Centerman, captain, 40 goals, like, someone's gonna unload the Brinks truck for this guy. Good for him, eh, right? I almost feel bad because they're so, they're so stupid in Vancouver. They're gonna let a guy like that. Well, and they'll trade him. And to be fair, like, he's,

looking around, like, don't get married to that organization. It's so dysfunctional right now. No. Right? Like, it's like, I love it here. I can't. I just don't trust anything's going to work properly. Yeah, they'll trade him. Elliot had a thing in his 32 thoughts or whatever the hell it is talking about that if, if you ever wondered, would he be dealt this week? Contract offer, rejection, the public declaration, I'm not talking about it. I'm here to play hockey. He gone. Well, and it's a tough spot because what the Canucks might think

is fair with, you know, their cap pinch and the player he's been his whole career isn't even close to what the season he's putting together is. He is doing the Johnny thing. He is hitting the market on a career year. And it's like so, so he's, of course he's not going to take a deal that would have made sense a year ago. He's, he's having a way better season. So in terms of the flames, though, you get back to this to this game. You're down to nothing. Again. A minute 48 in. They score two and 34 seconds. Then the penalty, you kill that thing off. But then they, they almost instantly turn things around. They get back to within one.

They then tie it. Shots after that, because it was three nothing at the time of that goal. It was like five two early in the shots. 17.4. The rest of the way, they tie it at two. You had no reason to believe

that they weren't going to be able to overcome this and move on. And they get to the second. They get the lead. But then what happens? Because the Canucks, I mean, they turn it up a little bit.

And the rest of the way, it was a track meet. I thought the flames had a hell of a time keeping up to their speed. They were getting chances, not galore, but they were getting very high quality chances. Vancouver or both teams?

Yeah. Well, both teams for sure. Vancouver lived up to their billing. Like you said yesterday, the power play is hot, they score a ton, and we've always said they're not really good at defending, and it's not a good blue line, and Spencer Martin's been a better goalie than Thatcher Demko this year.

Nobody thought that was a thing. It's like all those things were kind of true last night, right? So what did you see defensively, retro? I was just going to say it doesn't matter if you come around, you can't spot a two-goal lead. Like it's, it's, you don't win then.

It's moral victory stuff. I know there's been lots of swings and, yeah, there's been lots of swings in the NHO and no lead is untouchable and blah, blah, blah. And they came back and you felt like they should win at one point. But the fact of the matter is you were, you gave up two in the first two effing minutes of a hockey game. And the third is just mistake after mistake from you were to tough shift.

So I'm confused at what this team is. I think everyone is. Because. Yeah, because, okay, you gave up to. Well, that's usually coast the rest of the way and lose outright and chalk it up to a bad night. No, they battle back. All right. hard work and they're engaged.

They're not quitters. Well, then you get all sloppy and shitty. Oh, okay. Well, that's not so good. And then you end up lose. Then you have a lead and you blow it and you lose the game. Well, what the heck? H.R. you?

Like, I don't know. It looks like a group still trying to figure it out. They're not good defensively. Yeah, but they shouldn't be. I agree. It's a veteran group, I thought. Well, and you're a third into the season or whatever. Like, it's not the first 10 games.

Like, I'm sorry. New guys, you've been here for a while now. Coach, you know how coach wants you to play. Yeah, and I was actually going to bring it up the fact that we've made fun of Vancouver and how shitty they are and they're terrible and dysfunctional and this and on. They're right there. Oh, yeah. I'll tell you what.

We talked about it earlier this or last year. They miss those 18 to 20 minutes of Chris Tannave more than we appreciate. That's 18 to 20 minutes of just more composure in their own end. It just is. Yeah, and even him, I don't think. anyone near the organization would suggest he was close to 100 before the puck to the head after a full season of rehabbing and not training. And then an early injury. He was gone for the bulk or a considerable part of that seven game losing skid. And it was like one too many mistakes and you lose by one.

And again, they're not really getting dominated ever. They're in every goddamn game. They just feel a goal shy or a save short. Like you could see if someone told you in a month, all this is going to click. they're going to make one more save, be a little tighter defensively, get a little more puck luck from guys that have been snake-bitten, like Manjapani finally getting a goal last night,

Backland finally scoring. But at the same time, it's like, there's no guarantee that's going to happen. No. And you can't leave like a big gap here. They're lucky they're not in a better division. Wow, and that's this, and they're a bit of a Dallas to me.

And I mean, not Dallas this year, but Dallas years prior where they kind of grind through a season and you're not sure exactly, then they have a good playoffs. So the Calgary could be that. They might be better situated where they're playing high energy and it's playoff hockey and it might suit them even better. Problem being, if you can't play well enough for the next 52, you might not give yourself a chance at that.

I totally agree with that. I think I could be sold that this group would be a tougher route in the playoffs than last year's group, but it's clear they're not going to win with as much ease in the regular season as last year's group. if you don't start winning more, you're not going to be able to find out whether you're better than last year's playoff team. And you can call it puck luck or whatever, but we're far enough in now. You can just see that this team doesn't have the finish. Yeah, they've missed a lot. They just don't have, because they get chances, the effort is there, but they just don't have,

they don't finish on enough chances. Like, Hanifin has an open look. You see a bunch of other ones. Like, Eubertoe's getting so bloody cute with that puck. You finally started shooting at it. But it's like you're on a two-on-one. You don't need to spin around a backhand to a guy that's getting a poke-checked and you don't get a shot.

You need a shot there. It's the two-on-o the other night with Dube and Condrey. Like, get a shot. And you can say that's part of a group that confidence isn't there and they're squeezing it a bit and it's going to get better. But it better get better soon because otherwise it could be like last year's Islanders. Like they had years in a row in the playoffs, back-to-back user conference finals, deep team, not a lot of star power,

defense first. But you have a bad run, you get a bad start. There's too much run, not enough runway to make up ground. Like, you don't want that to happen to this group. It's like, this is the, this is the easy cap year. Next year is where shit gets pinched. They have no room for air if it feels like already. Like they need to put on a big run.

And the next thing I was going to say is, who know, TANF's history coming into Calgary was great player. Everyone loves them. Not durable. Does lots. the kind of guy you'd love and desire to have on your team, but damn it, he's hurt a lot.

Yeah. And he hadn't missed. It's not a criticism. I think you missed like one game until the playoffs last year as a flame. And you're like, that's all house money. And here it is. When he's out,

that's big shoes to fill. And again, I still don't, I don't give them a pass because I think that this group is veteran enough. Like you talk about confidence and you can switch out. I guess, but they should be old enough where they understand the game and they should just be able to go play. And losing Tanniv shouldn't be enough to derail them, but it kind of looks like it might be.

They also, and it's, it's, you can't talk about it because there's nothing talk about. It's just like, Shillington's a guy that's better than guys that play for them right now. That would be a very nice guy to have. Yeah. It's no one's fault. It is what it is. Last year. Yeah.

It sucks. Last year, Shillington. Last year's show. Well, I mean, you put them with TANF and it's all of a sudden like, geez, like we got five top four guys. Like that would be a lovely treat. 30 games. 30 game mark for the flames last night.

And you can spit, because I wrote it now, I was going to ask, because I think I know the answer. Last half, full half, half empty, what's the narrative that you're trying to sell? They've lost these games. They've been close, but they haven't been able to overcome. You go back to what, the first game of the month, the 2-1 loss. The 2-1 lost to Montreal. Jake Allen, terrific.

Phenomenal. The rest of the homestand they win. Flame should have won that game. It could have a 5-for-5 homestand. Then you are in Toronto. You have the leads, power play in overtime. You lose. Could have won that game. Yeah.

Montreal 2-1 shootout can win that game. You had some injuries, unfortunately. You fight hard, but, yeah. And then that game last night, so instead of talking about four games, losing streak or whatever, it's 6 of 7 or 7 or 7 of 9 or whatever the case is, and you really are. line is pretty thin. I'm not trying to sell you a whole thing here. You can see how that could be

the case. But I feel like if that were to have happened, you'd be missing some of the issues that we're seeing right now because of the losses. If they win last night somehow, they're five, two, and two in their last nine. And you're like, you know what? For the losses, they've been picking up points and they got Jake Allen in one of them and they shit the bed in Columbus. Like the rest is really respectable. So is that not true? That is true. That's glass half full. Because I'm wondering where do you fall in, Red? I feel like we default to the negative. I certainly do, but I wonder, are we being,

am I being too critical of the team? Is this just the ebbs and flows of a long season where you're going to, the scoring will balance out, the goaltending will even out at some point. Markstrom has been much better. It is even though. This is even though. That's the problem that's still even and they're 500

and they're not in a playoff spot and there's no guarantee. You can't be even. you have to be a good team to make the playoffs. It's not, there's no ifs, and I would think you're talking about close games. Oh, they're always, those are the types of games they're supposed to win.

Yeah, they're all teams. This is supposed to be a, yeah, this is supposed to be a close game squad. That's how they're designed. That's how they're going to be successful. So I'm a bit half empty. You won your, well, they won the conference last year, didn't they? No, they're second.

They won the division. Yeah, Colorado ran away with it. They won their division. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Sorry. But anyway, you won your divisions, like fairly handily. Oh, yeah, with these.

And yeah, there's big changes. But the big changes were you also brought in big names to fill those things. Should be deeper, right? Yeah. Like, yeah, this, it. And that's why I say, I'm. it's confusing this squad to the point where I'm starting to go, what the hell's going on in that dressing room?

Yep, that's fair at this point. Here's one thing that I think we have to acknowledge, and it sounds like it's excuse making, but they've done most of their travel to the east, and they've hardly played their own division, which has got a lot of shitty teams in it. Now, last night, they didn't take advantage. They get one point not to,

but if you look at their schedule between now and the new year, like it's St. Louis tomorrow, but after that it is all divisional teams. They have not played a California team, if I'm correct. I don't know that there's a playoff team in California. Maybe L.A. is? Didn't they play L.A. once? Alex has the schedule.

It's coming up in the Pinda Report later. But if you look at what they have now, this is a massive opportunity. And if they're 500 in these, what, seven games they have between now and the new year, that's a massive disappointment. And it's a team that needs to get on a run like they were five and two hours.

out of the gate, you know, like we think they're capable of when they're playing right. And to be fair, it's a pretty decent stretch of beatable opponents. Yes, there's an Edmonton in there, but you got Seattle who you blew a two-gold lead against. You have a lot, back-to-back sharks, you've got the ducks who have one regulation win. You got Vancouver again on New Year's Eve. Like, this is the run where if you're going to make a season out of this, it's got to be a good stretch. It's divisional and it's a lot of opponents that, frankly, you're better than on paper. and you should be on ice.

Yeah. Look at this. Like the blues, that's going to be a good game. But after that, sorry, like the Oilers are good. Who else is a guaranteed playoff team in there?

Yeah, weird schedule. You got two in a row against San Jose on the Sunday and Tuesday. Four games in what? Yeah, four game road trip through California. I'll say this. I prefer those games when you're heading towards Christmas,

22nd, 23rd, be on the road, not at home. I just feel like we've seen the flames just give away games in those final two or three games. games before Christmas when they're on home ice either way and patterson said it yesterday we had patter in and he said these next couple weeks yeah well he noted it and i looked at it and it's it's in the pin report but like there it is that you want to see this team get out of run red you're not

going to have a lineup better than that for a nine game stretch or whatever it is eight well what do they need to be well geez i mean so there's 16 points there they got to have five wins at least that puts you to 10 points 10 out of 16 yeah if you were 11 plus I feel like that's that's rock solid. And the other thing we haven't talked about, you want to talk about contributing factors to what happened last night is Pinder,

yesterday on the show, just basically grabbed the jinksy pants and slid them right on. Did them up nice and tight. Let's go back to yesterday's show. And this, I mean, it happens to all of us.

You're in talk, radio, you do talk, you get a lot of names. lot of different players. However, this one really felt like you had the jinxy pants on. The other thing, Brock Besser, a lot of talk about his production, he's playing with Sheldon Drees as his center. I don't even know if I'm saying that guy's name right. I know. That's who Brock Besser's playing with. Myers banks ahead. Check through a holdwander.

Dry is going to the goal. There's the past. Drive. Shoot. Scott. Alden Drys ties it up with three. I wasn't even saying it right. Besser deserves more respect than that. To your credit, you said you didn't know how to say the guy's name. Yes. It's a hoodat. Luckily, Rick Ball does. Yeah, well, it's Rick's job.

So within a matter of hours, the guy, you couldn't pronounce his name, tied the game at three in the same. No, he was in the penalty box from the flames, I think, tied the game. But sure, yeah. I mean, it's definitely got some very, it's the scent of jinks, for sure. Oh, to jinks. Is it right behind it? It's delightful.

That's one down here. We'll get to Ask Rhett coming up in just a little bit. Just a little bit. A lot of people with their Christmas queries, family coming in, what to buy, what not to buy, what to cook, what to do. Christmas chewisies? Christmas queries.

That's right. That's coming up. As well, we'll do the Pinder Report. But last night, 10 p.m., we, it all came to a close. We had about two weeks run on the Top Shelf Elf Christmas campaign. Started with Tower. Nicky, Serge over at Tower Cries or said, yeah, this is the thing we did last year.

We're just copycats. Raising money for adopt a family. We do a little thing. And yeah, this is, it's like, we want to do something for Christmas. That's a good idea. Why do we need to go looking any further? Should we just do that?

Great idea. And Greg from Bontan says, I heard you guys were talking about the thing. Well, I want to get involved. What can we do? So one thing leads to another. We start with the top shelf elf. And we started, I don't know,

three, four auction packages became five became eight, became 10 by the time it was said and done. And then South Street Burger says for donations, why don't we give out a free burger voucher for everybody that donates 10 or more dollars? And then Justin from Vina Nova and Gem Bi Karate. He says, well, I'd get involved. I got some watches we can throw in. Let's see what we can do.

And in the course of two weeks between South Street Burger and Gem Buy Karatee and everybody, ATB Financial came in with two massive packages for donation. Calvary, Stameters, launchpad. Cody Snyder and Rhonda Bull Bustin, the St. Eugene out by Cranbrook. Our buddies from Mercado and Hope Street teaming up for a New Year's Eve night. I mean, these are some phenomenal experiences that, you know, people wanted to help.

The launch pad one is awesome. They're all great. And then Greg in again with the pig for the barbecue. So those were those were the experiences. So between donations and auction, we wanted to see if we could get a little bit of dough. And I didn't really have, I don't know, and we never really even talked about it as far as a goal.

So how much you want to have? We knew there was, you talked about chatting with the folks at closer to home. The need is increased. Demand is not going down in this climate that we're living in right now. And then on top of that, it was, yeah, and you know what? Contributions are a little behind.

So hopefully we can help. I know our guys, if we come up with a decent idea, they'll support it. So my math is not good. so I relied on the Wolverine, and I'm not sure if his is much better. Someone else do it.

Either way, we've put our noggins together, and we believe we have the total from this, the inaugural, because I think, well, maybe it's a different cause next year, but the inaugural top shelf elf Christmas campaign with Barnburner has raised,

I'm pretty proud, a significant number, just north of $20,000 for close, closer to home and the adopt. Let's our boys. Helping us out here. 20,000, 9, 27, and 99 cents. That includes everybody's donations,

all of the winning bids for the packages and all of that. And we're going to whisk that over. Toots sweet and help some people enjoy Christmas. A 21 grand. Are you kidding me? Pretty great. And worth mentioning in there that, again, Greg Keller, he's, ah, you don't, don't talk. 5,000 of that came from Bontan meat market.

Just sent over the food the one day with the potato salad and everything. Here's some gift certificates to give away. And, oh, yeah. There's a $5,000 check in there. So all told, North just under $21,000, thank you to everybody who donated and everybody that got a... If you bid and you didn't win, thanks for being a part of it. If you didn't, you did win, then get ready because these are awesome. And if you donated, we'll let you know who won the watches soon and get ready to enjoy that burger.

awesome good work dino that's not me it's every look look it's our boys i didn't do anything it's the elf retro you're going to say something red top shelf big smile there for a second i was gonna say but you guys wouldn't do it i was gonna say how much did you skim off the top of oh come on yeah you know there's one last family having christmas but we wanted to have a lunch that's right yeah well you saw those tomahawk waggoo steaks they don't pay for themselves retro Oh, hey, by the way, you've yet to inform it. Have you cooked anything in that new oven of yours? Yeah.

I have. And don't tell me chicken fingers. It's nothing exciting. It is kind of, last night it was chicken breast. Oh, for Christ sakes. What are you doing? I told you to make jumble iron. I made jumble.

I'm not in the oven. I made it on the stovetop. Okay. My kid, my daughter, apparently. apparently loves jambla i had no idea really she's texting me from her room upstairs what's that smell i smell that what is it is that that thing i like with the sausage and chicken in it what's it called jambalaya yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah she ate a lot of jambola so yeah no the stove's good stove's good it's very good it's very hot you've got any buns or anything no in-laws are arriving

soon right i feel like that stove's about to get a workout the oven too stove's gonna get a workout. We've been making, I told you, we made the nuts and bolts a high level of controversy in our house. My oldest, Marty loves the nuts and bolts, but yet there's no nuts in the nuts in bolts. He doesn't want the peanuts in there, nothing. So he just likes bolts. I'm with them. I hate peanuts. Penance of the shit. And you can't buy bugles anymore because bugles the kind of corn product, only in the US retro. Canada, no more bugles. That's not coming home. I'll ship them up to you big fella. So you got to, uh, the shoveler was in Canada the other day. Really?

So you can fly from Buffalo to Canada. It's good to know. But no, only in the States, you get bugles. You have to use what, the other corn chips, whatever they are, Fritos, I guess. And then do you like what kind of crackers? It's very picky, very picky household when it comes to these things. It doesn't seem right not to have the bugles in there.

It seems like the bugles need to be a staple. You know what's surfaced in our house that we didn't make, but it's in the fridge and it's like, it must be evaporating dry air or something. But that, you know what you make with the bark, the bags and, oh,

I made two. I'll just have one. Every time I go by the fridge, I'll just have one. Massive trays. Just one. Just one. We're down two bags and someone has put a twist tie on it with a little bell.

So anytime someone's messing with the bark. Does it work? God damn, shut up your fucking bell. We'll get to the Pinder report here in a moment. Boy, we've got to get going. A couple things I wanted to get to sell street burger. Not only did they, and we're going to work this out with Brian and Braden with South Street, but they have donated a burger to everybody who donated 10 or more bucks.

Also, their free skate today, it's the Thursday over at Max Bell. 530 to 630, 435. Last before the big man. It's the last one. And then coming up, there it is, December 23rd, the big man is coming to down there, Drake. Look at that. How about that? I'll be exciting.

New York fries, Sell Street Burger, getting a done for you. Telling you, they must have an in with the booking agent, this busy time of year. They had a couple this month. I've gone it for you right here, December 15th from 530 to 630 p.m. Max Bell Center. You can't add two plus seven, but you're... Prizes, all kinds of giveaways. Go and enjoy yourself.

courtesy of South Street Burger. Now, Viena Nova. We've been talking about them, lab-grown diamonds. We've kind of gone and done a bunch of our shopping. Lives are happy. We've taken care of Christmas, man. Good work.

This is better than usual. I'm getting a lot of credit. Wow, I saw the, right? It's like, that's unbelievable. Wow, Dean. I have the girlfriend saying, well, I heard about those earrings. I saw the picture.

It's unbelievable. It's like, oh, that's all it took. apparently it was an email from Justin. Hey, can I sponsor the show? And then, oh, it's jewelry, hey? But here's the thing. You can save Christmas for you.

Justin, sharp guy. And I think our guys are buying in. Vena Nova, Stephen Avenue Place. Yep. Walk in the front door and say, Barn burner. I heard you on the Barn burner. Barn burner.

15% off between now and Christmas. Come on. Are you serious? Wow. 15% of diamonds? 15. Or if you go online at vinanova.com and do your purchase there, use the promo code, barn burner, one word.

Burn burner. Barn burner. Receive close 15% off your purchase between now and Christmas. I mean, it's already one Christmas and now you're going to give 15% off on top of that. You know how else it works? The more you spend, the more you save. I think technically that is absolutely. The more you spend, the more you say.

And why would you go? Why? Why, Dean? Why would you go? Rhett, he's doing it again. It's listening to it. And not just say Barnburner to get your 15% off. It's just a word.

No spaces. You say Barnburn. Burn burn. What? Come on. Why would you do it? Why would you do it? So there you go.

Between now and Christmas, he's still got time. This, he said, this is, this. This is what happens. It's the week before. Guys come flying with their hair off. He'll take care of it. He's got your back. Don't wait.

Don't wait. Don't wait and join the crowd. I told the shoveler yesterday, I'm going, because it's shitty and snowstorms come. I said, if the Christmas shopping's not done yesterday, that ain't happening. Yeah. Okay.

Wow. That's quite a powerful threat. How did you react to that? I've seen her around the house. Now, you're out of town, but the bills are playing the dolphins, and it's supposed to be snowy. We'll get some crazy buffalo weather. I like it. Maybe they'll cancel it, move it to Pittsburgh or Cleveland, and I could go to it.

Are you with us tomorrow? I feel guilty, so I'm going to find a way to make it work. I'm going to do this. I try not to do it from my truck stop truck driving. Yeah. It's team player. Good in the room. It's so good.

Good stuff. So that's tomorrow. Now, stick around because we've got to get you to, we're going to put you to work with Ask Red in a matter of moments. Oh my gosh. We've got a lot to do. But it's time for the Pinder Report. And it is brought to you by LFG.

Village Honda. The all new CRV hybrid has arrived at Village Honda. Stop in and road tested today. Road tested today? Hybrid. You know, thinking about the environment and stuff. buy as much gas. That's what I heard about those hybrids. How are you, uh, anyways, we'll talk about later.

It's time for the, uh, the Pinder report, courtesy of village Honda. All right, boys, well, we pretty much put a bow on the, the flames and Canucks from last night. It was a loss for the flames and another loss where they collected a point. That's three in a row where they've lost, but collected a point. So if you're going to lose, that's the way to do it. But by all means, don't feel obliged to lose. You know, you could go ahead and win a few here. St. Louis closes a little two-game homestand.

And, hey, if you get a win, three out of four. points on the homestine, that's great. But again, don't lose. Right. Please. If you have to lose, get a point, but but don't live. Is there a potential that that's a big game? It feels like it. And there's a little compression here. They go back to back into the Christmas break, travel, back to back out of the Christmas break with travel. Blues in Edmonton tonight. That's right. Oilers going to soften them up or something like that. We'll see. World's friends. Who had to always come here first and then Calgary?

No, it's the schedule every year. Both teams will hold the first half of back to backs. Everything will be fine. And they've had their issues, right? Because they had the losing streak, that the winning streak, and then the losing streak. They got Bennington likes to fight guy or he likes to let on. I don't want to talk about Belusil tomorrow because I don't know if they're good or bad

because it's like are they on the winner or they lose? Calgary Flamish. It's up and down. It's a lot. I would just hate for the fans to try and get under Bennington's skin. Wouldn't that be tough for him? Clearly he's got some issues. Leave him alone.

Yeah. Don't bother him. He's got things going on. No signs, no banging on the glass. No, Christmas has some stressed. That's right. Biddington. I'm not sure what.

He needs that 15% off. He needs the Barnburner promo code. He's stressed. I'm chill out. I'm traveling. Got across the border with this stuff? Binner. There's the rest of the stretch until the new year of note.

After the Blues tomorrow, only divisional games and a lot of California. So we'll see how they do. Feels like a big juncture of the season. We'll move along. NHL. There's a lot of Ryan Reeves in today's Pender Report because he's Ryan Reeves. There's only one of them. Let's start with, oh, TNT, national game.

Hang on. No, no, no, no, no. We start with the pregame chat. Hold that right there. Oh, boy. Reeves chatting with Paul Bissonette Biznasty and the TNT panel. National game for Reeves. He's played well on national TV and they're just chirping the shit out of them.

Revo, it's okay to say that I jammed you up on live TV. You're on a loss for words for the first time in your career. I didn't hear what you said. Ask the question again. No, I said I would have asked you a question, but when you score your first goal, that's when I'll start asking you questions on the broadcast. Oh, man. You've been out of the league for so long.

I don't even remember who you are anymore. All I know is you're just a commentator that used to be some HL plug. Like, what are we talking about here? That's true. I wasn't a HL. I was a plug at all levels. I know. I know.

But hey, can you promise us a goal tonight because of your T&T performance? You got to get one. I am hot on TNT, so, you know, you know me. I can't guarantee anything, but I'm going to work real hard for you, Biz. Reeves, nine games in to his Minnesota Wild tenure. They're six and three. They like of having a big man there. They picked up Nick DeLoree last year.

They got some big bodies. And I don't know if there's Biz Nasty, a coincidence, or if he just hates wheels as part of a logo for an opponent's jersey. but Reeves was dialed last night. Careful. Here's a nice angle of Philip Pironic going into a casket. Your boy. That is your boy. My poor fantasy team.

Where is he looking? And if you go back to the first angle, like he makes eye contact and then just like, oh, well, I'll just look back down to the pocket. What are you doing? You see him coming. You know what that is? It's because there's not as much hitting in the game anymore. He sees the guy coming.

He's not going to hit. because he's not going to hit me. Oh, wait a minute. There is one guy in the entire NHL where you must know where he is on every single shift. That's probably it. One guy. And that's him.

And you looked at him and you saw him coming. And then your face bounced off the ice and I'm worried about your health and my fantasy team. Oh, God. That is a heavy hit. That was a hard hair. It sounds like hyperbole. I love the jerseys.

I think those look sharp. Look at this. I don't know. Can you hit a guy harder than that? Or can a guy be. be hit harder. And he wasn't done. Watch, he's still going.

He's tossing guys and he's feeling it now. I'm going to step over you. Oh, excuse me. Are you down there? My apologies. Unbelievable retro. The stars in the pants, that green.

I love that kid. Yeah, that's good. They should do that all the time. Oh, a little penalty there, high stick. Okay, let's go. Yeah. And then what are you going to do?

Oh, you wanted to fight me? Are you a moron? Ben Sherrott. Who is that? Ben's brave, but geez, yeah. You know what? Good on him. Look at this.

the guy's like, well, you really tuned them up? Yeah, I did. Oh, man. You're going to do that? Look at Shirat's like, son of, I got to do this. Do we have someone else, Stevie? Stevie, do I have to do this? And then here it is, empty net for 3-1 for the good guys.

And here's Reeves. He needs a goal, Rhett. Come on. I pass it. Oh, he missed the net. You son of a gun. And now the boys with the TNT paddle are going to keep chirping if we're not having a goal yet. Oh.

This hurts. man it's weird because he gets clunked but he saw him coming if he doesn't see him coming you feel bad but you're like philly boy you saw him what are you doing he looks over for like more it's more than a check like i've never seen a guy try and skate through the middle of the ice like deliberately like this head turns sideways like you're right boom though it comes back to they've never been hit like that their whole life he's clearly not expecting to get hit which a lot of the time he'd be right. But not when Reeves is on the ice.

What did that pay on the bedway last night? Oof. The decapitation of Philoporonic. Philopronic under 0.5 craniums on his shoulders. That was a plus 1,700. Shit, we got to do that too. Oh, my God, we got to hurry. Come back.

Alex Ovechkin, boys. He, good at hockey. Also, he probably is an agent that's good of marketing. Look at what he's come up with here. He's now one back of Gordy Howe and what, 92 back, 96 back, 94 back. Math again, a big problem. Ovi has branded and trademarked the great chase.

And that's him selling as he does, pointing up. So sell some gear. All right. It almost feels foregone to me. He's going to have to be hurt or completely forget how to shoot a puck to not get there. And that feels like it's diminishing it because it, even two years ago, I was like, it's preposterous. He's going to have to be so good.

But it just feels like 50s a tap in this year. He's 37. There's nothing guaranteed here. Unless Reeves, unless Reeves catches the great date. That's a big collision. That's about 500 pounds between those two. Forbes top,

Forbes rankings came out for NHL franchises yesterday after another company did it a month ago. A lot of similar numbers. The average value of an NHL team over a billion dollars. Let's look at your top nine. in the NHL. No surprise to see the Rangers at the top. It is New York.

No surprise to see Toronto, Montreal in there. If the Canadian dollar is stronger, those might be one too. And even with, you know, no one you've heard of on the roster, the Blackhawks, because I'm assuming I'll trade the good guys. And look at this. Top five, you see a theme, boys. Original six franchises. Only one not in there?

The winged wheel, which I would think would get back in there. if they start winning again and fill in that brand new revenue center slash rink. Oilers at seven's impressive, and I think that speaks to the value of a new building, because it's not terribly different in market size than the flames. How about Seattle, what did they pay for those? So they've doubled their money already? Well, it depends if you include the rink cost. Their expansion fee was $6.50, so they're way up on that for sure.

Yeah, rink was over like $1.2 billion. Good R.O.I. That's pretty tidy. Two years in, you're up almost double a red. That's good, eh? You got to spend it. Sometimes you got to spend it to make it, boys. And the more into the same to make it.

Yeah, very good. Flames, by the way, coming at 21, sort of in that same wheel as Vegas and a little bit further down the Vancouver. Up almost 25% year over year, though. So things better for the people that count the Loonies and Tunis in Calgary. I'm sure they'll be okay.

NFL tonight, San Francisco, Watts, we're in the white jerseys in Seattle, NFC West matchup. Seattle, a great start. San Francisco, do they need a quarterback? Do they need Debo San-Ale? Just defense and someone else will run the ball. It's impressive stuff.

That's your Thursday nighter. World Cup final is set, fellows. And again, it's a tournament where you don't see dogs do it. It's two heavy favorites. Argentina, the second, most favorite in sports books in France who were a top five team. You ever seen dogs do it though?

Finally, we'll move along. Dean to Rhett, we have a Christmas present for you. So I didn't want to spoil it, but we need to get it to you in time and it takes some planning to get it done. So have a listen to what we've got set up for you for Christmas. Thanks all. Hey, for 500, we arrest you in front of your wife

or your girlfriend. We come in hot, police cars, siren lights. uniform, handcuffs, radio going, Reed Miranda, we'll even tase you for an extra 25, but there's a different waiver for that. We leave under very confusing circumstances, so it's hard for them to track you down. We take you to a campsite that's paid for,

tent, beer, bait, fishing license, fishing equipment, and on Monday, around noon, we released you at the Waffle House, and we just say it was a big misunderstanding. You're welcome. I'm in. I'm in.

We don't have... How about the pancake house? I don't have a Waffle House. It ain't enough. There's a Fackle House. 125 with a tase US You can do worse than that

Rats a bargain I've had the tase The tase is shit You got tased Did they do one of those things With the police Where you show it off And oh

When did you get tased We were shooting guns with the cops And Goddard said Why don't it tase us Oh no Goddard no Idiot Godd Is that the most pain you've been in?

It's No I don't know. I mean, they were kind. They did it for a short. We all linked arms and just taped it to our, to our legs. So it shoots through you. So five of us, and it dropped us all.

And they made us. We were standing and they're like, you better get down on your knees because you're probably going to fall. Sure as heck. They chose to do this. Well, again, and it's Goddard. And what are you going to do? Fight Goddard?

That's a dangerous friend. I'd rather get tased. See how it goes. That's a Pinda Report. That a boy. Give the perfect gift a car spa day with a detailing gift certificate at Village Honda.

Wow. That's a lot. A little convoluted today. Kind of looking for something, looking for something. Ooh. McDavid, Matthews, both to score plus 250. That's a big number. That's pretty big number. Nothing wrong of that.

And then this one here, four games. Team to win by the biggest margin. Carolina versus Seattle, Chicago and the Golden Knights, Colorado Buffalo, Edmonton, St. Louis. Doesn't Buffalo just beat the breaks off Chicago, too? Yeah, Buffalo, they lost by four to Washington, by two to Winnipeg, by three to New Jersey, by three to the Islanders. They've been shut out twice in the last week.

Chicago's dog shit does. I am going to say Vegas wins by the biggest margin over the Chicago Blackhawks plus 240. I'm going big game hunting for my way bets of the day. Let's have some fun. And who's hotter than Rage Thompson right now? Like it's just one-nothing tage every time I tune in. First goal score against the abs plus 700. Oh, oh.

Tage, good for a shift. Let's go, buddy. Let's go. And I'm kind of with you and let's find the hot hand. I like this Rangers Toronto matchup for a little star power. Matthews and Zabinajad both score plus 350. Isn't it safe ones? But if we haul one of these in, it's going to be put it up above the mantle.

Big game. Come on. Bet we bet that's the day. There you have it. We'll sneak in a little bit of Ask Ret here for you. Again, a lot of people with Christmas on their mind. It's a stressful time, retro. And you...

It was gross. The Haynes White briefs. I'm a boxer brief guy. Walter White had briefs on. You did. Episode one, I think those were briefs. Yeah. And what are you?

What? I don't know why am I care. He said he met in the middle. I care. Yeah. All right. Raman eggnog. Oh.

Acceptable at Christmas, or basically just eggnog. Acceptable at Christmas or gross, no, matter what time the year. I chug eggnog. I brought home eggnog the other day. My donkey middle kid drank the whole thing. And I was going to like lose it. Now I buy three because it's me and my other two kids.

They love it. I'm not sharing. I want my own. And I am not afraid. The thing about the rum and eggnog is it's like a Caesar. You can't have too much clamata juice. It's not too much egg. Lots of rum in the rum and egg.

Lots ice cubes. Yes. Maybe a little cinnamon on there? My nephew. My nephew loves it. We bought, I bought too much eggnog. And, well, we got to drink up this eggnog. It was too much.

And my wife says, go, I'll take some over to their house. Do you guys want some eggnog? Yes. Dude was pumped. It's like we were handing out 20s or something. Oh, yeah. Raisins in the carrot cake? Hate raisins.

and carrot cake. No, actually, I like carrot cake. I thought I meant fruit cake. I'm like, oh, no, no, no, no raisins anywhere. We've discussed this in the past. There's not a reason to throw a raisin into anything. It's an expired fruit. We talked about, yeah.

And it's gone. Like, it needs to be disposed of great for landfill or what's the thing they do in the compost. It's great. landfill or compost. Put it in the compost. Because it was originally, it was in the old. oatmeal cookie. And I think it was the bearded hippie at the last place. He thought they should be in the oatmeal cookies. And we disagree. And then it's in the butter tarts, but you know, you don't want it. You don't want it in pecan. No. I'm almost, I'm kind of with you. I don't know where it'd be like, this would be better if there were raisins. I agree with you. I agree with you. I don't mind them. But I'm never like, I need some more raisins. If only. Right. This had raisins. No, it's never that. I'm like, you put up with it. Or you don't if you're right. Really. Best way to avoid getting sick this holiday. Oh. Don't get sick. Oh. Oh. Okay.
