buddies, let's go. Let's get into it. Barnburner, Boomer Pinder, Warner here on Monday. The penultimate? What's the day today? The hell are you talking about? It's not the penultimate. It's the almost penultimate day of November. Penultimate, penultimate day. Yeah. What is the be the next to penultimate? The ultimate. No, that'd be the other way. Yeah. So this would be before that. Do you want to start over again? No. No, okay. No, it's been a great start. Fuck it. Hey, welcome to the show it's monday it's boomer it's pindra swear as we go uh good to uh good to have everybody plugged in let's like let's take a look here is anybody bitching about the old youtubes we were a couple

minutes behind where's the oh where's the thing wow cob the show hasn't so 22 i'm outraged i don't even know what about but i'm outraged there's retro looking refreshed how was your weekend not refreshing oh but thanks i did sleep in today i got up kids get sent the kids to school with mama bear and went back for a nap, a four-hour nap. Oh, wow. Apparently, I was tired. See, you asked them with the weekend. I'm like, I feel like most Mondays, that's a normal thing to ask.

But really, this is the end of probably a five-day American bender. This isn't a weekend. This is almost a week vacation in that country. Yeah, the last day was a pleasurable early morning wake up for a three-hour drive to Utica. Oh, I feel like you guys need to get to Utica. It is something to see. It is something to see. Now, you've been.

You guys got to get there. No. Through your... We didn't play a lot, almost any team in the Eastern Conference in the American League, the two years I worked in it. But Vancouver had moved their HL affiliate there

from Chicago, I think. Wasn't Utica always a Devils farm team for a long time? Yeah, for a while. The Utica Devils? Yeah, I've never been. I know nothing about it, but it does sound like one of those things,

one of those places. No, good, don't need to go. No. Don't need to go. Other people have been there for you. You don't need to go. You went for us, right? Yeah, thanks, Rhett.

How was all? How was it? and I got to watch two shitty hockey games and then drive home in the dark and the rain. Two. In holiday traffic. Two of them. Road trip, losses, rain, traffic. Oh, holiday traffic.

Maybe they won by too much, hey, Rhett? No, you said losses. Oh, I just heard the S word. Yeah. Yeah, you did. Okay. Not bad. Well, uh, how was your weekend?

A lot of time at the rink. Yep. First tournament for the young men. U-9, very exciting. And a real nice bow, a little icing on the cake, very last shift of the tournament, fourth game. My kid, two hands, another kid right across the torso. Was it your own kid?

Did he hit his brother? No, it was someone on the opponent. His old teammate from last year that I don't think he realized. Did he have it coming? A little, but again, as we explained, you cannot use your stick as a weapon. You can't pretend it's an accident. You're responsible for where your stick is.

And that was like a serious Jose Canseco cut, son. So sit over here. They're durable. So is this the one you knew would be the pain? This is the Unabomber. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Mother Teresa was fine.

He gets piled on. Nothing happens. He smiles, skates away. This guy gets red. Pinders got two, two twin, obviously the twin boys, two kids. One of them is very gentle, sweet. It's sweet boy. The other one is sweet, I'm sure.

Monarchal. But he's got, he's wired a little, he's built different. He has built different, as they say. He's wired a little. He's a mean little bastard. He's like the Wolverine. It's good, though. He's a beauty, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, it's all good. Tower Chryser, we're in the Tower Chrysor Studios. And you know what? Here's the thing. They aren't ones to boast. Oh, they're humble. About what the, and that's, you know, we love them. It's what we've come to know about them.

Good people. If you want to be treated right, if you want selection and value and prices and good, all of that. But if you just want to go in there and deal with legitimately good people. Good people. It's about Tower Chrysler. And again, this is us here at Barnburner telling you, not them. They won gold for the Reader's Choice Award. Number one, Dodge Ram Jeep Store in the city of Galgary.

Congratulations to everybody. Over 30,000 votes were cast. And Calgary says, hey, Tower, you're our people. Congratulations. The Rinkrats, digging the truck on the weekend. I guess they would. They're like, hey, what's that hashtag I have to use? And I'm taking pictures of the truck. I said, oh, it's parked in that lot and

hashtag nation truck. Yeah. Zip it out there. Get it out there. Spread the word. That's right. So congrats to everybody over a tower. I like it when good things happen to good people, you know? It feels better than the opposite. Yeah. When good things happen to assholes, it's like, damn it. Again, it doesn't it feel like that's always the way? It can feel that way. Because that prick sure needed a break in. Oh, another billion for that asshole. Awesome. Good.

Well, fired out a C bomb there. I did, yeah. That's kind of how it's going. Hang in there. Well, it's time to pivot and change the mood and talk. Yeah, let's get it. I'll get it. Yeah, I feel a lot better now.

Three straight losses, winless in three, however you want to play. I thought you said they just hadn't lost in four. They just won four or five. They lost a bunch. And then it was like, oh, they're good again. And now, yeah. They're 500. They are 500.

Very 500. 9, 9, and 3. And you can see it there. Somebody's done the work. I appreciate that because I was looking this morning. Good work. Someone who did the work. Remember last year, Darrell was very, we want to be top 10 in this and that and this and this and this.

They are not top 10 in any of those right now. You know what they are? They're top six and shots for and shots against, but it hasn't translated at all at the goals, four goals against. And I think that speaks to the issues they're having. They haven't got great coal tending, but their mistakes have been huge. The chances they're allowing too many, too high quality.

How are they ninth and penalty kill at 79%? They're not at 16th. Because power plays are on fire this year, but yeah, that is wrong. Yeah, they're 17th because I, sorry, 16, 79% 16 on 76 tries. Yeah. The power play is 25th at 19.7. And even when it scores, it's not looking good. Like they went one for three against Carolina and you're like, can we decline these?

It just. It's not been great. No, and they certainly don't set up the rest of the next shift or the next period or the momentum. Quite the opposite. Yeah. Yeah. It goes back a couple weeks ago. It just felt like the shot totals were a little bit misleading where a lot of times you watch a team that puts up a ton of shots.

What's the story at the end of the game? How great was their goaltender? Their goaltender stood in his head. He was out of his mind. I don't know that there's been a game in however, what's 9, what's 9, 9, 3? do the math for me. I can't fucking add. Out of those games, how many times have we come in here or talked afterwards about how great the goalie was on the other side? Very little. A little bit, not a lot. I mean, I think probably like the way you'd talk about the big goalie being

good is like, well, it's better than Markstrom, which hasn't been going. Which is also an issue. But you go back. Yeah, but they've also outshot teams a lot too, right? And you're still not saying. The, the disappointing part from me on the weekend was Washington was a team that was ripe for the picking. They're missing six regulars. They're a group that, you know, maybe is a playoff team, but certainly another year older with that core. There were a team that were ready for you. And when you don't play well there, or at least you don't take advantage there, your toughest game of the road trip that we would have called two months ago, third game in four days, second of a back-to-back, really strong systems,

Carolina, usually good goal-tending, deep team. Like, a good effort. doesn't really guarantee anything. It's like, sorry, the moral victory column we're done with here. If you don't take care of business against Washington, now you're in a really tough spot against Carolina. And that's what they were, to the point where you start the period with a power play,

you're down a goal for half the period, and you only get four shots in the whole third. Now, did they create some chances and other goalies? Make some good saves on the trip? Sure. Did they get goalied a bit by Washington? Maybe. I just didn't think they, you know,

outworked Washington and the Kemper stole one. They didn't score one. I thought it was fairly tidy for Kemper. I didn't think it was, that was kind of routine work on route to a shutout, I saw it. Cadry in front and a to Foley drag around.

There's a few chances, but like, it's a shutout. If you can make it work more than that, usually. What do you see in retro? They go five and two in October, four, seven, and three in November.

They'll wrap the month tomorrow against the Florida Panthers, who probably feel like they owe the flames one after a week ago. the scary part is that we are deep enough into the year now, right? It's after American Thanksgiving that you are what you are. Yeah, they're 500 right now. You're a 500 team. Yeah.

That's what you are. You've played enough games that you could have went this way, should have went that way. We got lucky here. Didn't get lucky. That's, that's all washed out now. It's a normal season.

You've played enough games. It's not a small sample size. you're a 500 team and you play that way you don't you don't typically outwork other teams sometimes you do you do show up to most of the games and play yeah absolutely you do have a decent lineup your team isn't outclassed most nights that's true your goaltending is good yeah it hasn't it's good hasn't been great but good league wide league yeah but league but league but league wide my point is exactly that is it is what it is you are what you are you're you're not great goaltending because you haven't shown it in a quarter of a season like you're deep enough now to go

this is just what you are and you can't say the goaltending we got great goaltending because the goaltending isn't great you can't say we're offensive juggernauts because we don't score enough goals you can't say we have been unlucky on the penalty or the power play because you don't score on the power play. You don't generate chances on the power. It's not a small sample size anymore. The flames are what the flames are. They're a 500 team.

Yeah, and I think there's a lot of teams in that spot. Florida's, everyone's, look how good Kachshund. They're on the outside looking in. Edmonton's one point better in the exact number of games played as Calgary. St. Louis is on the outside looking in. Washington and Pittsburgh are in unfamiliar territory. I think most of these teams will be better than what they've been so far. but it is to the point where it's like, okay, every team you're going to find a 10-game run

where you're 500 or worse. Even the Stanley Cup champs love a 10-game run where they don't look great. You're talking about the quarter pole the season now. We're at a point where I think back to two weeks ago, and you think there's a lot wrong with their game right now. The scoring's going to come around and the goaltending will be better and the special teams this and this guy's going to, but as you say, you're at a point now where I feel the same way.

I feel like they should be scoring more and the goaltending should be better, but it hasn't been. So what is it? Am I out to lunch on it? I thought the goaltending was better this road trip. I mean, once you get past Tampa, I thought better. I like Vladars two starts. I really do. I know.

And that's the collective. I mean, Markstrom, since Florida hasn't had a bad, bad one. Again, we're trying to talk about 17th place goaltending here. Well, I was going to say, to Rett's point, I feel like their goaltending's been good. I agree with you. And then you go looking this morning, Markstrom is, he's got a 303, over three goals again,

and an 889 save percentage. That's not good goaltending at all. And I think to be fair to, you know, it is a significant sample, but if I have to get you to pick whether the numbers would be better or worse than that at the end of the year, which way you're siding on?

Like his body works huge, and it wasn't like he was playing behind a defensive juggernaut in Vancouver. He's got to get better. He's paid to be better. his top four Vezna vote getter, two of the last three seasons, he is better than these numbers. It's time he shows it.

And the team in front of them, it's time they tighten up with the awful sloppy mistakes. Like the Dylan Deubei giveaway that leads to the first goal. And this is where it's so confusing because if you say, okay, here's a Daryl Sutter team, close your eyes, tell me how they play, you'd be like, oh, okay, well, they're going to be defense first. They're going to work their tails off.

They're not going to give up much. They're going to have great goaltending numbers. And they're not going to be sloppy. and half of those missed the mark, if not more, when you talk about the first quarter of the year with these guys. The number of chances they give up are completely out of whack with the number of shots. Like the number of shots they give up, they're top six in the league, I think, top five in the league. And yet, you're like, why are there so many great A's happening here?

Why are all these breakdowns occurring? And I get that they've used a lot of D and the lines have been shuffled a bit, but DERL teams should be better than this defensively. And there's been changes. on the team. Sorry, all I was going to say is, as far as the defensive side of the game, Cichuk and Godro were not Selky guys. No lie. They were great, but it's the one year, right? There should be no excuse right now for why this team is hemorrhaging chances and being so slot. The only thing I'll give them a bit of an excuse for is that they've had one pair all year

and everything else has been shuffled because of injury and you've played your 7, 8, 9 guys in the org. but I mean still you need to see better like where does mackenzie weger play you are like you got to figure that out by now hell defenseman though right you are NHL defense well the 7-8-9s you could argue they aren't I mean is Dennis Gilbert one hey but is de Simone one is Mackey one but oh look at the problem again with what where do they slot in on other teams in the NHL are they and like there's going to be teams with less quality defensemen than some of those right like You're right. But whose number six, seven defensemen are studs?

No one. Yeah, I get that. Like no one has depth that your sixth, seventh defensemen are cornerstones of your organization. Like, let's not be foolish. Your sixth seventh defensemen are always this caliber of defensemen. Well, I am. And actually, Michael Stone has done more than we would have ever imagined as your sixth defense.

And he's there seven of Shillington's here. Like that's how deep you are down the line here. So I just I can't buy into that. Well, they haven't had. I know you're trying to make a reason for maybe them not playing well defensively, but I don't buy into that reason. Like that's, I don't. Sure, Tanav was out for some.

But, but there's enough of a sample size with Tanav in, right? I don't buy the reason that, well, we've had a few injuries on defense. We've had to play Gilbert. Well, and the thing about, play Gilbert then. Then we should be giving the coaches shit. Don't play them. Like if he's not good enough,

don't put them in line. They have three of their top five, D.O. That was three of their top six for a while. That was a challenge. But they're through that now. With Daryl teams, it's about units of five.

It's about a team philosophy on how you play the game. And that's not Dennis Gilbert's fault, right? It's not D. Simone's fault. There are turnovers and play through the neutral and into the defensive zone by forwards. not even defense as a as a group they just they're it's not even a buy-in thing it's it's

very like what we have come to expect and know from this this coach and this I wonder if I wonder if they're almost squeezing it a little bit how many times this guy's getting it on the wall in their own end and it goes to nowhere right like it goes to nowhere you get it the d gets it up to the to the winger on the wall and it's coming back down into their zone again like It's it's dead. And I wonder if guys are nervous now because they F F'd it up early in the year and Sutz reamed him out and said, we can't do it. Right. Now you get the puck on the wall and you're squeezing.

I got to get out. And it's, anyway, I don't know. It's again, it's a, you're in the NHL. You should be able to. I watch 10 year olds and 11 year olds and 13 year olds get the puck on the wall and turn it over. I get used to it. Numbers. Right.

It's these guys are in the NHL. like Luch shouldn't be turning the puck over when he gets a puck on the wall, when on a breakout. Make a play. Yeah. And the awkward party is if you talked about another team and like, oh, this team's weakness is this. Well, how could they solve it?

They got some kids light in the American League on fire, like leading the league in scoring. Well, let's get into that because I was going to say part of sometimes you have these issues and they're masked because you're scoring your way out of it. You're getting over bad goal tending or defensive. miscues because you're scoring enough. I did not expect them to have these type of scoring issues. You knew that the scoring was probably going to go down.

That top line had so much offense. But there are some major, major black holes on this team. Hubert O started okay. Then he's been better the last little bit, but it's still eight points in his last 12. That's not bad. Codry had a great start and he slowed down a little bit. Manjapani. Can't buy one.

He has nothing. He's got one point in six games, one goal in 17 games. And what used to be a bonus when you got offense from a guy like that, he's now being paid and relied upon to produce. And he's not. Dube had a couple and he's, I mean, he's being paid. You expect a little bit there. and there's very little there.

Lindholm has been quiet for the last week or so. The good news is you've got two Adam Rajikas. Check out the lines here. First line and center and fourth line. That's unbelievable. I just didn't expect them to struggle quite to this degree. And the power play, I guess, is part of that. They've got the 25th ranked power play in the National Hockey League.

That's just their 25th goals for per game. Yeah. Well, and that's where you make up, right, for scoring a won. suppose, right? Like if you're not getting the brakes five on five, the power play is supposed to be the spot where, okay, at least we can make up for it now. And yeah, it's death valley.

So it's kind of fan porn. What are your, who can we bring in? Who can you bring in either by way of trade or through the farm system? And Jacob Pellche has been a name. There was thought maybe he would, 10 for a spot on the team, did not have a good camp, went to the American League. His hit stride again.

And Matthew Phillips is a name that we keep hearing for a good reason. He had another, what, three-point game yesterday. He's leading the American hockey league in scoring. At what point do you have to give this guy, not just does he deserve it? Oh, it'd be good for him. You need help. Mm-hmm. at what point do you bring this guy up?

I mean, I think that's a great question. At what point would Daryl do it? At what point would the GM like to see it? At what point, I mean, I think those are very different things. To think that you've got a guy that's probably been the best offensive creator in the American Hockey League for two, three years. And he's had one meaningless game in the NHL in a throwaway lost end of the season. He might not be an NHL guy at all.

He might go over and lead the KHL in scoring and make a half million euros the rest of his career and be a star over there. But you can't say he's not going to work here because the only game we saw, which meant nothing, he actually looked pretty good in. But how does he not get more of a sniff than that when you can continually trot out the Lewis, Richie,

Luchich, Rooney types where you have no ceiling there. You know exactly, you know, as good as they can be, is very met. Why don't you know more about this guy at the NHL level? Ret, you're muted. No, you've muted your mic, Retro. I don't know how I do. There you go.

I did. How, where is he playing? Because that's the other problem I have is it's like, yeah, bring them up. Peltier, whoever, whoever you're deciding. I'm sick of watching what, what I've been watching. We need help. We've got to change things. And sure.

Where's he playing? Well, like physically. No sense bringing. Well, I'm just saying, you know what happens to these guys when they come up? They put them on a line with Luchich and Lewis. Yeah, no, that's fair. What the hell are they going to do with that? Right.

Like, so if you're going to do it, certainly you're going to be smart enough to go, okay, there's no sense bringing Peltche up and playing him with Lewis and Luchich. It just doesn't make sense. Not fair. Where are you, like, where are you, you got to play him somewhere that can have success. And if you're not willing to do that, and I don't know what they are, then how do you find out? He's playing top line opposite wing is Phillips with Zahorna in the middle at this point and has lit the league on fire. And I think there's room in the top nine, a squeeze guy in.

And counterpoint to that is if you, if your answer to your woes is a guy, do you expect Matt Phillips to come in and turn the team around? No. But that can't be the only reason a guy ever advances from the American Hockey League. Yeah, it's not about one guy saving the season. It's about can I get 20% more production from this slot on the lineup? If you can make slight upgrades all over the roster, away you go. If he's a better forward in the top nine, then, you know, Adam Rajitska may prove out to be. And he's been on a nice run.

But, I mean, it took them a while before they gave him a try in the top nine. It looked like they're a top nine guy shy. The answer is probably. for the guys that are here to pick it up. That's Daryl's answer for sure. I would like to see Matthew Phillips as much as anybody else. And do I think that it's going to turn the team around?

No, I don't. The answer is for Manjapani and Dube and everybody else to start playing better, to start scoring at the very least. The Manjipani one is troubling. I, I just keep beating the same drum. Even when he wasn't scoring,

he was contributing. You love the way he played. played and it just found the puck found him the puck found him all the time and right now the guy can't buy one it's it's wow quite a whole i don't even think it was about the i don't know if i would describe it even as the puck finding i'm sure he was around he was scoring he was a prick to play against he's not a prick to play against right now what andrew manjapani needs to do is i don't know who they even play the next game but whoever it is go run the goal and get punched go go go get punched in the face go run the be be kachuk go run the goal and get punched in the face and get

into it well he did to a play against chuck it's perfect great then punch matthew on the face too like whatever but that's what man japani needs he quit quit playing soft quit playing thinking oh it was sucking your thumb thinking that oh i'm not getting points so nobody likes me go and do the other things that we loved about you go out there and get gritty because that was part of what the appeal for manjapani was yeah even when he's not scoring he's he's annoying guys and he's in their face and he's playing hard we ain't saying that right and some nobody's saying man is he he's really being a pest out there guys are to the same level yeah and sometimes it is almost kind of like not run the goal again i i

know you almost i think you're kind of literally meaning run the goalie But I think in a way for a guy like him, you almost need to do that, don't you? Because that stuff, it's not going to manufacture itself. You have to go into a game and just decide, I may get suspended. There might, something might happen tonight. What did he fold up the other day by the net? He was first guy on him, like, stick on his neck. I mean, I don't see him as being super peripheral.

It's just not as noticeable as it was before. And looking at where he's at last year, he had two at a quarter shots per game. He's under two this year. That doesn't sound like a huge number. It's a quarter of a shot of a game. that all adds up. And then you mix in that his career shooting percentage is 16%. He's at less than half that.

Let's do some luck. And are the chances as high quality? Probably not. But he's also, this is the lowest he shot in his career at the NHL level by a mile, almost two to one margin. And that would explain the back doors behind the goal in out of the side. You know, how did it hit the goalie and not bounce in? It sticks to his pad.

But, I mean. So are you saying just. keep going and it'll tell? No, I'm not. I'm just trying to put some context as behind what we're seeing, but also like what the data is telling us, which is he's been really, he's not shooting it nearly as good as he normally does,

half the rate of the puck's going in for his career, never mind last year. So it's tomorrow. I think he's terrible. There it is, yeah. Tomorrow starts off a five-game home stand. It's Florida, then, Montreal, Washington, Arizona. Too long at home.

Oh, my God. And the Minnesota wild. is how that's going to go. Oh, the road trip's too long, the homestands too. This is brutal. These guys can't get a break. See what I'm talking about 2022. Everyone outraged.

We found what Rett's outraged at. The whole team should. Damn you, Batman. That's true long of a homestand. Too long of a road trip. Too long of a homestand. Do you want to be on planes more? No.

Okay. We need to get out of town. So how do you solve this Rubik's Cube then? You don't want to travel as much, but their homestands of road trips are too long. Rets on it. He'll figure it out. Once he gets paid the Gia money, he'll tell us the solution. So tomorrow night is the first of that five-game homestand. It's Florida, it's Kachuk.

And we've been telling you that we were going to do something special with these tickets that we have coming up for tomorrow. Courtesy of Mad Rose Pub.

Delicious. And sports? And sports. Yeah, it's good stuff. Madrose Pub. Visit their website for takeout. Madrose.com is how you do that. Interesting looking month.

It's homestand. They play Montreal. It's a lot of games. Considering there's a Christmas in there. there. They're playing the 23rd and then the 27. So they get the three days off there. A road trip into California. They got Edmonton, Seattle, Vancouver. Did you see the back-to-back in San Jose two nights apart? Yeah, it's a weird one, right? That's a quirk. They do that with St. Louis and the New Year as well.

Sunday? Sunday night, 8 o'clock. Then Tuesday. Then Tuesday at 8.30. By the way, Tuesday at 8.30? I won't be staying up. That's a good one for you because that's a 10-30 puck drop Sabers time. And then a 10.30 on Thursday. And at 10.30 on Friday. 7.8 jobs. So it'll be lots of stop. What week is that?

I'll take that that week. I'm taking the week off. Oh, good. How time you've got a break? Let's go. Montreal, Washington, Arizona, Minnesota. Then on the road, Columbus, Toronto, Montreal again. Home for two.

Vancouver. Sentless. California. Two against the sharks. Kings, Ducks. Are you just naming? Well, he's listing franchises. What I'm doing, this is your month.

So they're playing in the NHL? That's correct. They're going to be on the road for some. We'll be back at home. They're going back on the road. Then they'll be home after that. In terms of level of competition, it's therefore if you want it. If you want to get your poop in a group and play better, you've got teams that are,

now again, you're 500. These are 500 or below teams that you're playing. The ducks, the sharks, Canucks. And it'd be fair. Beat these teams. They're beatable if you're playing better. Florida, Washington, Minnesota, aren't setting the world on fire.

this year. I'm not saying that they aren't good teams, but they're in a similar spot to the Flames. Teams that thought they'd be better in the standings. There is not a top three in their division team they play here for a long ass time. They were five and two in October, four, seven, and three in the month of November. Where'd you go, October? Where's that October flames team? What the hell happened? Markstrom misplayed the puck on the dasher board and coach flipped his lid and put Luchich on the second line. Is that what happened? That's what season's all.

Remember how boring it was though? It was more. The show was terrible. It was lame. Unlike now. Unlike now. So good now. So good.

It's good. Going back a week ago, you asked me to do my wins and losses. Oh, I wrote a town. They were going to be 500. So. And I think they probably were. I had wins against.

Who did they beat? Winnipeg? Did they beat Winnipeg? Yes, they did. Rett had a loss to Boston, a win to Winnipeg, a win over L.A., a win over Tampa Bay, a lost to Florida. So so far pretty good.

I've only got one wrong. Switch Tampa and Florida. You're in good shape. Win over Philly, lost to Pittsburgh, lost to Washington, lost to Carolina. Come home and win against Florida. You had them at 5 and 5 over the 10 games. So if they win, they'll be.

Well, I guess they had a tie. All right. Speaking of which, before we move on, from the American Hockey League, the AHL announced today. Good timing. Matthew Phillips is the Howie's Hockey tape Player of the Week. Howies! Three goals and six assists for nine points in four games last week. Where do you find a guy like that?

Leading the HL in scoring. 12 points in his last six games. 26 points in 18 games. Sixth round selection of the flames back. in 2016, has played one game in the NHL. If only as a Calgary boy, we could build some sort of a campaign to get them on the ice or something like that. Time for our way bets of the day.

I wish we could move forward and just talk about. Is there some hockey or football tonight we can talk about? There is, but it's in our best interests to, you know, audit ourselves and see how we've done on the weekend. It had been a good run, you know? Every once in a while, you hit a banana peel and things, you know, you take it right in the shitter. and that happened

for yours truly. Oh. A lot of chalk there. I feel, yeah, I feel like I would not have made these. Was I high when I made these picks? You were tipsy. Because I hate the bucks.

I don't know why I just, coming off the buy, all this bullshit about, oh, Brady off a buy. Yeah, well, Brady's 100, and he's divorced, and he's a basket case. He was 2 and O divorced.

Fuck that guy. Yeah, so clearly, no one, nothing. O for three. How, about the Ravens. What is going on with the Ravens? Quite a sight there.

You'll be happy to hear I moved heaven and earth to get Lamar Jackson a few weeks ago in my keeper league. Goose. It's been a goosh for sure. Don't do that. Yeah. So there's an O for three. And the Seahawks were looking like they're in control a bunch of that game. The Raiders kept coming back and then they allowed an 86-yard rumble to Jacobs

and it's like, okay, you're not for real. See you later. Have a good summer. Kind of years Josh Jacobs having. Holy Holy cats. And then we could have in like the sixth, seventh round? Kidding me? Anyway, so it's an O for three. I'm due next week. I was over three last week.

We bounced back. I'll be better. That's what you're going to do. I'm going to totally redeem myself, totally back. All right, who's next? Let's take a look at what else. Warner did well? Pinder?

Did I? No, the Cardinals do get a checkmark there because they lost by one and they had three points. Well, that's my bad then. Did I look at that? The charges went for two on the game-winning, the game-tying score to, win the game by one.

That's my bad. Cards get plus three. So two and one. Two and one. Which is every single week this year, except last weekend I was over three. So two and one pender back in business, baby. Two and one,

you're going to make money. Two and one every weekend. Oh, gosh. Pave your driveway with gold bricks. That's right. Let's go. And look at this from Rhett Warner. Riding right on the line.

Eagles win by seven. Look at this. Chiefs win by 16. Oh, Narrow margins rat. Genius. And I thought it was, you know, I tip my cap to you, sir. I agree.

I tip my cap to you. A lesser man would have picked another game, even knowing the bills didn't cover. Yeah. He showed his loyalty to Bill's Nation that this isn't the time to panic. I know they didn't cover. I'll take the X. I'm still riding with the bills. Yeah.

Thanksgiving Thursday, the bills do not cover Friday morning. Picks are in. He takes the bills to cover, knowing that it's a guaranteed loss. Impressive stuff. Yeah. Yeah. There it is. You're built different there.

Big picture. That's what he's thinking there. Good for you. And of course, if you wouldn't have taken the bills, you'd have taken another winner. You for sure would have gone through. I was going to take the Jets or Miami, and they would have won. Jets look okay with the non-momper. With anyone but Mummoper at quarterback position.

With anyone but Mummoper. The old Melf Hunter on the sidelines holding the clipboards about. to look for him. What do we got tonight? What's the, what's the, Pittsburgh at Indianapolis, two teams that suck.

Gross. Yeah. I heard an interesting perspective on the Steelers. Like they've got this, what, Kenny Pickett, quarterback. And they're like,

you know, it's a win-win situation. Either he's really good and we don't draft a quarterback or he's so shitty that we'll have a high draft pick and we'll get a good quarterback. So I like that very

half full approach for Steve. Well, that's you. You're very positive this year. You're very positive. Colts have gone back to Maddie Ice, right? He's still going. And Jeff Saturday made that call as soon as he got named head coach with that extensive experience of never coaching anything before. Yeah. He's one in one. But he played, right? Red. He did play. As long as you played, you don't need coaching experience. You shouldn't because you know enough. Colts minus two and a half.

Yeah, at home. I want to tell you about this, Jasper. I'm excited. I've heard whispers about this. I know. I have some, I have details, but I can't share them with you

because then I'd have to kill you as much as I'd love to kill you. Tell me the details. Experience Jasper. Did you know? Cabin capital of Canada. The Triple C? That's right.

Yeah, you know me. Maybe you want to relax beside a roaring fire. Okay. Roaring fire. Treat yourself to a spa day. Wife like spadays. Amazing comfort food. Cabin properties open year round available for rent in Jasper. We are very happy to be champion the cost.

Get them going. Get up to Jasper. Jasper.com travel slash winter dash cabins. For more information. Maybe you want to spend the holidays up there a little before Christmas, the leftwards, maybe right through the new year. Look. Company coming in.

You want to showcase the mountains nearby? There's the mountaineer himself. There's retro just carving away. Yeah. Carvin. Look at you. You can't see the kid he's pushed over. He's in that pile of snow that's fried. He's mowed him over.

He's got the Mickey of Butter Ripple schnapps in his top pocket there. High as a kite. Huge boogers frozen in that mustache. Frozen snot. Just the king of Jasper. Jasper. You need to get to Jasper and take in some winter and get that fire roaring if it's that cold.

A roaring fire. Roaring fire. Yeah, there you go. Jasper.comable slash winter dash cabins for more info. Let's do the Pinder report, shall we? Let's get after it. A full weekend of activities to get caught up on. And it's brought to you by Village Honda.

$2 million to buy vehicles. That's what they've got. They'll buy your car. Even if you don't buy theirs, you could win a trip to Las Vegas as well. Only one way to find out. Get up there. 76.63.

110 Ave, Northwest, online. VillageHonda.com. To dealership for life. The Pindreport. Let's do it. We'll start with the Cowdery Flames, gents. How about this? Once we get rid of...

There it is. Two million. Two million bucks. Get some. Go get some. Go get some. If I could give you a, maybe a pitcher to summarize the Flames weekend.

Because remember, They were in a really good spot to have a lovely road trip. Were they not? Two one and one through four. Go get some points, boys. Here's how the weekend went for the flames in one image. If you wanted to know. So that's the capitals on the power play,

and that's the greatest goal score in the history of the sport. How's this going to end? Describe the photo for people of adults. Yeah, well, I mean, what would you describe as high danger? Would the hash marks on the left? Would that be high danger? And what if I told you all four penalty killers who were basically at the faceoff dot or into the corner further on the other side of the ice? In fairness,

Now remember, guys, don't lose eight. It's a scene that we've only seen a billion times. A billion times. Ovechkin, it was a off wing, just waiting for a one timer. And what's great about this one is the past wasn't great. No.

And he had to double clutch it and corral it and still took, and still scored. Yeah. Shiri whiffs on it, then gets it through. It actually gives enough time for the flames defenders to get over there. Ovi kicks to stick and rifles under Markstrom's right arm curtains. That made a 3-0. They'd lose that game in Washington.

They'd lose again the following afternoon in Carolina. Rootsch, Rezitschka got another one in that loss. And they closed the road trip with two losses and a mark of two, three, and one. Which doesn't sound very good after your two, one and one. So now they're home. And they got a five-game homestand. Let's take a peek, fellas. Dean mentioned it, but some teams in some similar spots to the Calgary Flames for better or for worse coming up at them in the schedule here.

They'll start with Florida. They're on the outside looking in the east, which is like if someone told you, Matthew Kachuk was having a massive year. Like, oh, they're probably great. Hang on. They're in a similar spot trying to reel in some teams that they hope won't last. Montreal Canadians, they should be tanking for Bidad. They've actually been quite good. they're stronger than the flames and record.

When do they come back to Earth? Capitals outside looking in. Flames owe them a little payback for a lackluster effort on Friday afternoon. And then you got the Yotes coming in who, that'll be an electric environment at the dome. And the wild who also find themselves in the outside looking at. Is that the one we're going to? All hugely emotional, eh? You got Kachuk back, Monaghan back.

Who is that? Hathaway back to Jackie Bear. Hathaway. And Valemak. Valamaki. Yusel. Yeah. And then Dean Eveson.

Oh, wow. Look at that. Talk about what they should call this homecoming week. You get that branded, put it up on the... Forever a Flame. Dean Eveson. Get that fucking banner up there, boys. And we talked about it.

Flames are 25th in the NHL in goals per game. Guys, the news from the farm should be encouraging, and yet it feels demoralizing because, well, there's Jacob Peltje, their top prospect you could argue at the forward ranks 18 points in 12 games in November 16 of the points primary that's good Matthew Phillips also 18 points in November that's a good thing Peltje is also scored in 6 to 7 let's have a look at this nice little bumper play zing yeah sally love those unis that is good color scheme that logo well done on the logo the jerseys guys good job everyone over there the

part of that and if you need well look that's just one week and one highlight. What about the whole H.L season? Can we take like a pitcher of, you know, like how these guys would be? Oh, there's Matthew Phillips, leading the league in scoring. 13 goals and 26 points in 18 games. And they're at number nine.

And the top 10 in scoring is Jacob Peltje and what, a second year pro? It's a lot of goals. If only they had some internal solutions, the coach liked. I don't know. He likes them. He's just making them overcook. Don't want to spoil them.

Don't spoil it. Don't spoil them. Make them earn it. Yeah, you haven't won a championship at the American League level yet. Why are you coming up? Hang a banner. It's got a Calder Cup or two. You guys were here for training camp. You should have done something to get noticed. Do something to camp. Run the goalie, rat. Yeah. Yeah. Let's move to the NHL quarter poll. Passed on Friday. Quick look at the NHL through one quarter of a full season, 25% in the books on that pseudo holiday on Friday. goal scores how you like this? Who had Jason Robertson and Bo Horvatt won two in goals? Mr. Robertson.

And Robertson. No one. Should have held the Star's ransom. They got them locked in at under seven and a half, under eight on a four-year deal. Oh. And Bo Horvatt is going to cash in. Whether he stays in Vancouver or leaves, the captain is on a, well, no big deal. Like what, a 65 goal pace or something like that?

pretty good and there's there's your boy number six retro old tage thompson you want to watch another guy that could rip one-timers holy it's an exciting player only takes five years for that deal with st louis to work out with o'reilly apparently but there you go okay well i was looking just kind of still with dallas i was looking this morning dallas is at st louis tonight the top two point getters in the month of november which is almost over robertson and jamy ben ben's not fire uh of 13 games, 25 points for Robertson, 21 for Jamie Ben. That's something Ben can get down with.

We'll move along. Points. Points leaders for the season. See you. Eric Carlson's having a year, boys. Look at him third in NHL scoring. Almost a point in a half per game. Are you kidding me?

Jeez. And a lot of the usual suspects in there, including Matthew Kuchuk, 11th in league scoring. It is McDavid. At the top, as you'd expect. Let's go to defensemen scoring. So a few surprises in here.

We told you about the Eric Carlson resurgence, but right in there with him, guess what they're calling Josh Morrissey in Winnipeg, rat? You get one clue. Wait for it. Moe? Josh Norrisy. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. Because that's what the, because you get it. Defense. Yeah. And you know that they give to the. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

23 points of 20 games. He's been nails for them. And finally, goaltender and leaders, this is the once again, final proof never to argue against the case that goaltending is voodoo.

Linus Olmark, Logan Thompson, Martin Jones, leading the league and wins. Voodoo! We wear big pads and we're tall. Nobody gets us. Woo!

I should have been on waivers and not had a job, but instead I'm leading the league and wins. I was at Carlton. in Ontario playing CIS hockey, applying for jobs at DoorDash. Now I'm a number one goalie. The hell's going on here.

Go home. You're drunk, net mining. Hello to DoorDash. Whoever it is. So who was that you were doing? There was a bunch of them there. Yeah, like Marty Jones only gets a job because. So are the goleys?

Just got bought out. Lena Solmark was the second best goalie in Boston last year. Logan Thompson had no business being in a lot. league. So everyone got hurt and now he's in and he's fine. If you take Vanishek, it was like, okay.

I thought maybe it was some weird goalie witch or some. Ooh! Ooh, look at us. You can't figure us out. We're voodoo goleys. Welcome to a new character to the show. If you would like to sponsor the voodoo goli, goalie, golly voodoo master, contact the Wolverine.

That's right. So that's all I got. You know what's good? Look at that fucking list. Are you serious? Jesus. What's really good is the way you have the hair out today. And it's, yeah, it really. It really, it really adds to it.

Good stuff. Okay. We're going to move along. I have a new favorite, you know, I love data and charts and graphs and numbers, you're going to like this one. This is my favorite graph from the NFL this season. We learned in the off season when he went to Denver and got the quarter bill, big trade. he bought a mansion that had 12 toilets.

That's a lot of shitters, boys. Look at the touchdowns versus toilet ratio as the weeks pass in the NFL. There's a guy keeping track of this. So through 12 weeks, Russell's thrown seven touchdowns and he still has 12 toilets. The toilets are holding strong. Who will win the season?

Toilets for Russell Wilson or passing touchdowns? I say toilets. Toilets. I would go toilets. He's got a chance. I might go toilets. I'm all about the toilets. I saw this.

I heard, where was it? Jordan Love yesterday played for the, for the Packers. What did he have? He had 8.5 because he was 113 yards. When did he come in? Like the fourth quarter for the Packers.

Okay. A passing touchdown, 113 passing yards, more fantasy points than Russell Wilson yesterday. They lost 2310 to Carolina. I think you've gone. PJ Walker, Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold. And did you see the screaming match on the sideline

between he and one of his teammates? Yeah. Let's ride. I guess there was a little too much calisthenics on the plane. Now, is popular. Because that pick, it's a first rounder that can go to Seattle. Okay.

Like if it ends, like a second overall, is that not what it is if the season ends today? So Seattle gets rid of the guy. Gino's been okay. You know, it's fine. Whatever. Better than Russell. But that guy's gone.

You're not paying him $170 million guaranteed. And I'll throw in a first rounder. You know what? It might be the worst trade in NFL history. It's a bad one. Think about if you were just a commoner. What would you be more proud of? Getting to the NFL and throwing seven or eight touchdowns

or owning a home so big at a 12 toilets? Rhett, you've owned some nice homes. What was your max toilet count under one roof? Four. You can do better than that. on. Four is almost kind of pretty standard number.

If you've got three floors, you're going to have one per floor. You've been to every house I've owned. Where? How many? I've got four. I got a better question for him. What about Jovo's Palace down in Miami? How many shitters there? I would have I'll bet you there was a few there. I never was in the big, big one, but he's built

another one, so I'm looking forward to going to that. I'm guessing he's got seven to ten. Yeah, see, there you go. Okay. How many toilets were at the 12? 12 of Russell Wilson, 12 shitters. So you're going to have one in your master. You have two in your master? You got two shitters in the master?

Why not? You got 12. I'll bet you there's, I'll bet you there's a split bathroom. Yeah, you're right. Mama bear can go drop her flower petals or whatever happens with her over there. We get the jacuzzi in this one. That's what she does.

So two of the master comes from, until. Okay. You know what? Let's not. What else you got? Let's move along. Kyle Murray at the podium yesterday after watching the Chargers beat them on the final play of the game. Essentially, they tie the game with a touchdown, decide to go for two rather than tie it with an extra point.

And a loss for Kyler. Let's hear the former baseball top prospect turned NFL star turned, well, he likes Call of Duty is what we know about him. He struggled at the NFL level this year. What you got to say, Kyler? No, it wasn't. That wasn't for Hobb, actually. schematically, I mean, they kind of, we were kind of fucked. Yeah.

Schematicallyly, yeah, we were kind of fucked. And what's great is you're wearing the jacket. And there's a huge L on the right chest. I thought it was someone that had Photoshopped. It does look Photoshop. And then when he moves, it's moving with the jacket. And you see the other letter on the other side. It's, uh, it's a big L for Kyler, no doubt.

Las Vegas? Is that a V? Maybe it's a V. I thought it was a U. I don't know. I'm not even going to... Well, it could be a V. I was like, how do you wear a Las Vegas, Jack?

I think it's a V. It's got some on the sleeve at the LV as well. I think that's a... It's probably Louis Vuitton. Yeah, that's probably good. It does look like Louis's signature on the shoulder. Lou Witten. Is that he pronounced?

Yeah. Thank you. Oh, Lou. To football of the more traditional variety, the World Cup continues in Qatar or Qatar or Qatar. or Qatar, whatever you want to call it. Canada, still in the tournament. They're actually eliminated from moving on,

but we'll have one more game to play after a pantsing at the hands of the Croatians that turned our midfield into mincemeat. After the coach said they'd bleep Croatia. The papers in Croatia had a little fun with that. And then following the game, the headline, nobody will bleep us. Esther Hurdman had said they would bleep Croatia.

What was he going for? I'm not sure if that was, I feel like he's a thinker and not a lot of moves are done without thinking about their ramifications. That one feels like maybe the outlier. Probably not a good one in hindsight. I don't know that it changes much in the game

given that they were vastly superior in the midfield proved it, but didn't help, did it? So they did it. They got up to that great start. I don't know. They got a goal. Feels like it was the point.

players that settled it, but over fast, hey, the whole? Yeah. And you know what? You always said, like, boy, that first penalty could have made a lot of difference. Even one stinking point. There's your translation from the, nobody will fuck us. Pardon our Croatian. There it is.

Guys have said the F word like 17 times. It's for the kids, right? For the kids. They'll wrap their tournament Thursday 8 a.m. against Morocco. And yeah, Dean, it's over. It happens quick. Because I go right home. So they can't, they can't even stick around.

enjoy some beer. Yeah, I think it's probably best to leave if you're looking for a beer. Because I've been listening to you blather about this thing for exciting. For years. Remember when you made fun of us, you're talking about pot one, pot two, pot three, pot four? Yeah. They got hump by pot four here. There's three really good teams in their group.

But again, best 32. I should have scored that first one. That would have been. 100%. If you get a win against Belgium, this is totally fine. You can lose to Croatia. Now you got play Morocco, win it, get in. Instead, you lose a game.

you outplay a team, curtains. You ever been to Morocco? Sounds like a nice place. I feel like there's a lot of tanned people. Perhaps we should go. Lots of beach. Be very sexy in Morocco. Yeah, it was straight to Gibraltar

right on the other side there from Spain? Is that a board game? Head down. Might be. Finally, Rhett, one for you. I even saw it on your Twitter feeds. I know you've seen it. Let's head to a miscellaneous hockey game

and watch some fans. Have a Tilly. So we'll describe this here. We got two guys. We need the volume. If we can on this for sure. They're in tight. And classic early Jersey move.

Get it over the head. And body shots. This one guy is. So the guy is in a scrap. He's got the shirt. It's been taken over his head. Now he's kind of, he's going to be a sucker come in here from,

that's right. Ding. And there's a shot for no, no good reason. Okay. So dude now has taken his shirt back down his jacket, giving a finger to the crowd. Slams his head against the Plexiglas because they're in the first roll.

Almost to celebrate. Like, yeah, fighting's cool. Bang! Out. And knocks himself cold. That's right. That chick is loving it. Yeah, LFG.

For Village Honda, there's your Pindraport for the day, my friends. One more time, just for good measure. early jerseying like that's if you want to help your buddy in a fight just get the jersey man too he doesn't have enough friends no he's got no buddies if the third man is allowed to jersey the first guy like it's over so a guy here with the vest on he's like break it up break come on guys break it up hey hey it's over guys don't do it's over i love that suck it's good jab now let's take a listen Maybe we can hear it. Oh, you can hear it all right.

Do you think? That thunk was him hitting his head against the glass. That was him ramming his head against the glass. Do you suppose he'd had a few Miller lights? Yeah, they were serving. They weren't cut off like Qatar. They were definitely. I do like he falls down when they pan to the ground

and there's just cans strewn everywhere. That is the... Good weekend. We've all been there, Dane. We've all been there. Have we? I'm not sure. Is that the Keystone Center?

Village Honda, proudly serving Calgary in area for over 30 years, your one-stop automotive destination in Calgary. Visit them in the Northwest Automall or at village Honda.com. Get some of that Cheta. Some of that two million. So Canada's hooped at the World Cup. How's Anthony with the Dutch? Dutch are fine.

Yeah, I think their last match, all they have to do is avoid disaster and they're going to be through, which is where they're expected to be. And, yeah, we'll see what the... Tommy's... said this was a good thing for Canada. This was four years earlier than they were supposed to. I think it's good. They qualified. I don't know that it's getting thumped four ones necessarily good.

But I think knowing Tommy and what is ex, he's always going to take the positive first off. But secondly, they weren't supposed to get into this tournament. They're huge dogs just to come out of Conccaf, never mind win the whole qualifying. It still stings, though. Yeah. Okay.

I want to be serious for a second because Pinder, you know how he gives us crap because we don't know anything about his stats and his nerdy stuff. Remember last week and I was yelling, we were arguing, and he told me that one of the guys that he follows had the flames at a 95% chance to make the postseason. What is it at? Yeah. It's 92 yesterday. It's fresh. It's above 90 still. I usually check every day just because I'm curious. I don't understand that. So who would be in that's going to come out? Seattle is what I'm trying to. to get. And I would think the model likes them a lot more than L.A.

I'll refresh here. The model likes Calgary better than L.A.? Yes. Significantly. Five more wins over the course of, okay. Now Seattle. L.A.'s, they've got them at 92% today. They've got Seattle at 74%. They've got the Oilers at 69% to get in L.A. at 56.

Just talking Pacific. The oilers that low. Well, and you know, we talked about it. You're like, they got too, superstars, but they are where they are in the standings with those two superstars. There's some major underlying issues beyond the two big guys there right now. I hate dealers. I'm happy if they're out.

I just, I would have expected that. Why can't their other guys get better and help them get there? I think your best players, looking like your best players is something you'd expect. Yes, I pull your RV looking like your best player is something you wouldn't expect. But they miss Kane. And I don't like that blue line in the goaltending. Well, they were down to the Rangers, what, 3-0-0 on Saturday? And the Superstars wound up.

Four goals in the third. Only two of them on the power play, but four of them. So what about Seattle? Five in a row? 13, 5 and 3. 75, they've both, Flames and Crack and have both played 21 games. They have given up less.

They've scored far more. Maddie Badeers is legit. I don't know. I worry a little bit that we're just going to, oh, the air's going to come out, air is going to come out. The model has them at like mid-90s and being a playoff team. It's not nothing. Like it's not like the model viewing Montreal where they're like,

this is a hot run, unsustainable, and they're going to go rock bottom. Very different. And again, remember, a lot of the data people liked Seattle last year, but they just didn't get goaltending. So they were probably a lot better than the record showed last year. So was our hope Like with Seattle or St. Louis and many know So

Because Winnipeg's not Are they falling out of the playoffs? What's their percent? Winnipeg's at about 70 here. Dallas is 96. Dallas is way up there 90%. See, because I think there's some pretty good teams that they've got at pretty low like

Like L.A. Edmonton. Well, Winnipeg, if they're at 70. There's a lot of things. teams over. Well, I guess I haven't looked at it, but I'd guess Connor Hullbock's been sensational. I bet she's hanging around 935.

Like, is that going to last a whole year? Just like is Markstrom's 886 or whatever he is going to last. It's gold sending. Don't make me do the voodoo guy again. What do you mean? Oh, you think you figured me out. You don't know shit, Buster.

The other serious talk I need to have with you guys is, should I start my diet today? Or should I finish off the pizza. What's the diet? Is it a pizza diet? That feels like it's Thanksgiving. It was Thanksgiving. Four food groups in one bite. Welcome to the pizza diet. I told you I told you I was going 8,000 calories a day. I hit that minimum. At least 8,000 over the last week per day. Monday was supposed to be my start day, but just pizza in the fridge. Man, it looks good. Yeah, I had a tough start to the day today.

because, you know, year ago, I was all Johnny Fitness. Were you? Feeling good about life, you know, eating better, getting some workouts in and all that. It's good.

This morning, threw on the winter coat that I bought last November. Yeah. Slim fit. Ooh, snug. Eight pounds of shit in a five pound bag. Oh.

Not your best look. Time to start doing some. Well, up to the bike. Weren't you on the bike? religiously. Fucking lungers or something. You were a bike fanatic. You were,

you were a bike fanatic. Ah, I got to get on the bike. I got to do something. Goodness gracious. The bike got you to that point. Just get back on the bike. I'll sell you my

Pender Zap workouts for the business. I can't go to. Yeah, no. Space suit's dialed. Well, I'm sure it's good. I'm not, no, there's not. No.

Are you going to donate to the fat boomer cause or? Send that pizza up, would you? I told you. What kind of pizza is right? Yeah. Is it thick crust? The pepperoni.

It's pepperoni. Oh, out of the fridge. Thick crust. They fry the pepperoni before they bake the pizza. They put fried pepperoni on top of the pizza and then bake it. Yeah, start tomorrow. I'll go grab it. What's one day?

Are you going to go grab it? Go get it first. Yeah, he's going to go and get the pepperoni. He's going to go get the pizza. You know at the side when they curl up? Then they get the little pools in there. Oh, you get the pool. I'm telling you.

I'm telling you, yeah. That's, that's the, that's the money shot right there. Oh, why, Alex, would you put up pictures of pizza? Fricking lunch out here, Alex. On the show tomorrow, Frank Sarajevois going to join us. See how his American Thanksgiving went. See if he did 8,000 calories. Have you seen what's going on in Philadelphia with the Flyers? Remember that cute hot start that we all knew wasn't going to last under torts?

Yeah, a little bit. Oh, baby. And they're getting healthy now. excuses are going to go out the window. All right, Red is sitting back down. I said, we'll talk to Sarah Valley tomorrow, your buddy. Did you send him his whiskey yet? Are you, uh, well, he doesn't give me me, I'm not going to beg the guy.

All right. Can you link these two together? Are we're going to have some. I don't know what to dopes need some help. We're going to have some issues. God. Like, okay. So I could start off with some spicy chicken fingers.

Oh, yeah. Hold those up nice for a little. Yeah, do it again. Hold them up again. Give us a nice, give us a good 10 seconds, sir. It's hard because they're going to. fall out. Yeah, I know.

Okay. Leftovers. Oh, yeah, looks good. And here's the, uh, I was actually, I, I, I kind of shocked myself because there's more than one beats in the fridge. Come on. Can't do this today. Diet tomorrow.

Oh. Oh, man. That looks unbelievable. That's bigger than your head. Hold that up. Hold that up next to your head. Oh. It's so good.

It's so damn good. You know, and my, my brain very quickly there, I was going to say, tell him to take a bite. And my brain said, stupid. Of course he's taking a bite. You don't need to tell him to take a bite. He's taking a bite. Look at that thing and not take a bite.

So you had two pizzas that you, yeah. Slices are huge. Really good. This one here with the salami. Yeah. So spicy. Oh, is it?

It's full-bore Christmas, and we're going to do some good for some people. and you, the listener and viewer, are going to be involved and you, Rhett,

and you are going to be involved and we're going to be... And the people we're doing good for aren't us. It's actually going to be other people. Yeah, for once, we're actually thinking about people other than ourselves.

Yeah, we're trying at least. Once a year, at least. Do you think people like us more for doing this for? Or is that thinking about us still? I'm not sure. It's probably thinking about the other people. So that's all, big show
