Here we go, Barnburner on a Friday at Calgary Flames game day. Get your helmet on. There's Pinder, there's Retro, it's boom. We are here in the Tower Chrysler Studios. Beautiful day outside. Weekend is here. These four-day work weeks, Red, I know you're against them, but I think we can win you over. Is it still four days in Buffalo this week?

Four days this week? Four days. is it next week as well? The 16th is a holiday here. That would be after that. Yeah. Is that right? So that'd be two Mondays.

Yeah, would be the Monday after. So yeah. Yeah. And you two bastards, you, uh, you bambozled me.

We did. What? Banbozled me. Have you been bamboozled? Yeah. I've been bambozled and I'm pissed off. Have you been hoodwinked as well? Oh, no.

Yes. Yeah. Yeah. fully and completely. Sunday. Just imagine Sunday. You live in Buffalo. It's plus five out.

It's January. Playoffs are in the air. There's tickets available. You move all the way from Western Canada to participate in this. And you get told by your idiot co-workers, oh, you got to watch the Chicago Blackhawks take on the flames and do a show afterwards.

Whoa. You know what? It reminds me of those sharks games that they played back to back where it's like you win by four. You don't impress you one. It's a close game. Ah, they fucking suck anyway. Like, no, you can't win. You got to get two points.

And if it doesn't even look easy, someone's going to shit all over yet. Like, Red. We were already arguing in the pre-show, Pinder and I got a feeling we're going to piss and moan at each other all day. But he gets to pick and choose when I got to work these stupid afterburner things. Like, come on. You don't have to do Sunday. I'm going to be so wasted. I won't be able to talk.

That's perfect. I'm even more excited. I'm telling you, there's a lot of 8 o'clock, 8.30 mountain time starts left. If you want to sign up for those, by all means, this is a nice early 5 Calgary start time on Sunday. This is a nice soft landing spot for the rest. The bills play. Let's not lose sight of the important things. The bills play.

They play an early game. What do they? They're in the first time slot on Sunday. 11 a.m. magically sober. So you just magically sober up. No, stay in the bag. I don't give a shit.

That'll be a good show. Go to the game. Don't have a drink. Don't tailgate. Don't part. All right. Pull, that's fun.

I'm not telling you anything other than I think you can accomplish all that you need to here. You can go to the game, get hammered up, come home, watch this, watch the other game, and then do the show after. How will I stay awake hammered? How will I stay awake hammered watching Chicago play? nap. That's what you're going to need. But hey, look, you can do two things, right? You can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time. You could go get hammered in the

morning and watch the bills and then watch the hawks. Isn't it the cocaine that gets you revved up? Just do more cocaine. Do more cocaine on Sunday than you would usually do. Indica would put you down. It doesn't feel like a cocaine day. Sunday doesn't...

Jeez. That's more of a Thursday thing. You guys know. You guys know. Thursdays are for the co. Is that right? Yeah, that's how that goes. Blow out Thursdays, huh? I missed that last night.

Yeah. Sitting around to toe in my thumbs. It's nothing to do. There's some sponsors as we don't. Yeah, again, Tower, Tower cries are there. You see, we're hearing the Tower Chrys are. They don't condone this. And listen, we're, we're full of it.

We're just, you know what we're doing? We're pulling everyone's leg. We're not doing. We're hoodwinking. Yeah, we've all been hoodwinked. And didn't you volunteer, by the way? Hey, I could do the first two if you want. No.

You did. I said I could do the first two. first one and maybe the second I kind of forgot so when we threw it out. So now the truth comes up. See, I forget the phone, look at the text. Oh, maybe I kind of forgot the day. Don't check the record. Wage and jishap to recount.

Wow. It's not a school night. Sunday. Since when is Sunday a school night? Because there's school the next morning you don't. It's been a school night since Mondays existed. The hell are you talking about? You're going to have school during the day for it to be a school night. And again, so that's only four days a week. you don't talk about Dean

well there's a lot we can talk about the uh the Canadians teacher that went to the let's talk all that teacher that went on the four day oh she has uh oh it's not even 10 a m in Vegas no way she's up she's just getting in cocaine nice

no there's a few things we need to talk about today for sure all right for sure you know there's no uh it's going to put Alex on the spot the birthday I believe was Wednesday. We were going to run the video yesterday. We got, we actually got talking about world juniors and stuff. And then he had to play catch up, get everything in, and then we were out of time. But there was a birthday on Wednesday, former flame, what turned 39, I think was, Yuri Hoodler, had a birthday this week.

Yeah. And there's many. In his memory. You know, Yuri Hoodler, all things, because he was a free agent signing by Jay Feaster. at the time. He and wide dog were right. Jay Feaster signing. That was the big summer. Came in. Put up some numbers. Put up some decent numbers. And was a, a hell of a guy. Guys loved Yeri in the, in the locker room.

I feel like you loved them when you loved them. Some guys loved him. I'm sure. Beaks and valleys, Steve. Yeah. Peeches and valleys. When he was great, he was great. That's all of us. Yeah, it is. Yeah, it's all of us. Some more than others. But, um, um, My favorite Uri-Hoodler memories, the NHL Awards. What did he win?

The Bing? Lady Bing, I believe. And you were there that year. I was there that year. And we were all sour. We were both there. Hey, Reto, we were both there. Because that was the Jonathan Tabe sushi cup sourpats.

Buying me, why and you and Rob Bray, fancy steak dinners. You're so full of shit. You know who, you know exactly who paid for it. Who paid for that meal? I did. Bullshit. The only reason we went for dinner with Rob Ray is because Terry Pagula was buying dinner that night.

Pagula had... Now you got Razor and shit. I know. No, but it wasn't. Pagula had bought the team roughly about that time. And the whole thing was we're changing the image of the Buffalo Sabres. We want... When you go to Vegas, treat people right, know that it's the Sabres.

We're going to do... He took us to the whatever stake. coast that was at the MGM and you had that, you had this, the special steak. It was like the outside rim of the ribby, remember? The cap. The cap. So good. It's coming back to. So how does it feel claiming victory on picking up that tab when it was a billionaire. So anyway, as a Sabres. I know I didn't pay for it. So whatever. So was Terry there or was it an open invite to any Sabres alum? What was, how did this go? He was sending people that, uh, We're Sabres folk.

Go to the awards and show that we're there. The image of the team had been they're cheap, they don't spend. It's all the mess, yeah. Not anymore. Times are changing. And I've been a big fan ever since, even though you got hammered and called them out at an event. It's true, he did, yeah.

I made a joke at it a bit. Yeah, it was not good. How did it land? Not good at all. Is it a joke if no one lost? Or is it? Yeah, well, how did that? go. Actually, let me write this down.

I'm not talking about it. You probably, come on now. You were at, where was the event? I'm not. They brought back some. I'm not talking about. Look who's in Buffalo. I moved to Buffalo.

Try and get a Jig's just going to say. I can't get a job with the flames. So fuck damn. I'm moving the boat. Where else did I play? Where did I play in? Tampa. If things dry up in Buffalo, he's going out of Florida for that All-Star.

I can see what he's doing here. Stoke the flames down there. I'm worried about that. I am worried. worried about that game. Yeah, we talked about yesterday. Yeah. It's going to be fine.

No, you're not going to be fine. It's going to be a disaster. Oh, just say you pulled a hammy. You don't have to play. You get all the glory. It's beautiful. Remember when you fake that injury to race the cow with the Stam Peters game?

Pull that stick again. That worked brilliantly. Yeah, the fake injury. Oh, please. You guys are ignorant. You know what? Tinder's been home alone too long. He's out drunk all night.

No. Grumpy to work. I wanted to get drunk last night. There was no one to trade. You start ripping on me. Get out of my face. I'm poking the bear. Yeah, Pinder's getting ready to get all hammered for that gold medal game tonight.

Yeah, a big one tonight. How's your rezo? Easy to get that rezo, I bet. I'm surprised how many sports bars had good seats available, yeah. So what, where you said, you know, just kind of broad strokes. You kind of made a joke about the Pagula family or was the event in Buffalo? When he bought, no, when he bought the team, he got emotional. As one does.

Emotional crying in his first speech, because he was. was such a big fan and I poked fun at that at an event. Yeah, apparently wasn't funny to anyone else. Did you call McCraib, maybe? Something like that. Was he there? He was speaking. At the event, yeah, though.

You've been invited back to any of those since? Ill-timed. Ill-timed. Now, what was the other speaking of ill-timed public commentary? What was the one here? What is this? It's Storytelling Friday. Settle down.

you want to be the Redster be the Redster What is this? Am I on trial? Was it the Lanny Roast or what was it? Were you? Conroy where I pissed everybody. That was at the dome and there was a lot of mucky mucks from way up in there. Was it the dome or the palace?

No, no, that was at the Weston. Oh, okay. The Sutter roast was at the palace and it was terrible because no one would roast him because he was still the GM. I'm the only one that poke fun at him at all. Rico was up there talking, telling one liners it's painful and he went on forever forever rich Preston would not shut up like if you had you know the old the hook yeah they needed the hook to get him on it was terrible

bang the gong yeah so you went up and you needed a gong yeah so you went after uh the sutter one was nothing i would didn't know what i was doing and right but this conroy one they asked me to do oh boy i was in a bad place at the time and i took some nasty shots at people spoke poorly but I told them when they asked me to do it I said is this a roast or is this a a high-five event yeah I've been to a couple now yeah what do we you could say whatever you want candace you can ask candis there call this you can say whatever you want it's a roast I show up to the roast there's kids and wildly ladies and white like the fancy dinner plate like but at that point I was committed.

Of course, you're probably in the bag. He couldn't change at that point. I had a speech prepared and I had to go with it. And it was funny, but some people didn't like it. I thought it was a bit vulgar. Who, uh, anyone specifically or? Owners' wives. Well, again, I think it was another owner.

Yeah. Listen, off two owners. To your credit, right. If you're going to insult somebody, swing for the fence. Wow. So anyway, get back to it. Can't get a job with the flames. What the hell?

So again, yeah, thanks for buying that steak in Vegas. That's how we got there. But we went to Vegas. And Hoodler was having a hell of a time. I asked them. It was the day before, so whatever it was. Let's say the award show was Friday night. This was Thursday afternoon.

They have the availability with all the all stars or the awards potential recipients, that whole thing. And Hoods was telling us the story. it was me and Gio and Johnny was there. Was Johnny up for the Calder? What the hell was he there for? No one of the Calder. About when Gio got injured in New Jersey.

Wasn't it in New Jersey? Buggered his shoulder or whatever it was? And then he did warm up like two days later and you're like, oh, this can't even shoot a puck. He's right ahead of the deadline in Philly. So he's crushing Johnny. He's like, oh, well, let me, I can't do. I don't even know what his access would sound like.

He's like, oh, let me tell you a story about. Johnny. Let me tell you about Johnny. What a teammate. What a great guy. We're in New Jersey. Gio's, you know, have an unbelievable season, goes down, shoulders like shot. Everybody's in the room just kind of, I can't believe our season's over. Giordano's done. That's, we can't believe it. Meanwhile, then from the other room where you get your suit on, this guy, Godro comes sauntering out of there. He's got his suit on, a tie hanging another. Two huge pieces of pepperoni pizza in his, yeah, oh, hey, guys, what's going on?

How come everybody, what's the problem in here? Guys are like, shut up. Would you get you? Oh, what, what happened? Why is everybody so upset? Real nice, teammate, Johnny, real nice, real nice. And Johnny feels terrible. He's like, oh, no, no, I wasn't doing it.

I didn't know what was happening. I was just eating pizza walked in. And then Bob hardly gives it to Johnny. Bob would give it to anyone. Bob. It's the media avail. And everyone's dressed nice, but Johnny's got like a nice t-shirt or whatever.

He's like, what the fuck? How come, thanks for dressing up. Way to dress up, Johnny. Way to dress up, Johnny, what the fuck? Nice shirt. You know,

Joe gets it from Hartley, gets it from Huddler. Thanks for coming, Johnny. Room is great, though. No problems in the room. Yeah, good room. So anyway, Yuri Hoodler. They were...

What was that? Nothing. All right. What's about Erie? Hitler showed up to Vegas with a carry-on bag. It's the awards, right? Are you going to, and again, maybe this is what you do when you are a multi-millionaire. You can maybe speak to this.

Why would I bring a suit? I'm going to Vegas. I'll just get a suit there. So he went and bought brand like a whatever. I didn't even Tom for it. Yeah, like huge dough on the suit and bought new shoes and everything. but the shoes ended up not fitting them very well

wrong size or you know what it's like when you get new dressers brand new and not broken in not broken in you're going to wear him a bit tight little tight

what's the thing inside there just yeah stretcher right you need this foot stretcher outy thing and he didn't have one so he gets to the award show maybe he's not expecting to win I don't know but he's got his new shoes on he's got his new suit

this is my this is our favorite or at least one of my favorite Yuri Hoodler memories as he ends up winning the Lady Bing and accepts the award up on the on stage in Vegas. You go, Yuri. On son? Big winner.

Team guy. I have no shoes on. I'm sorry. I got a new suit on. Vegas, what a place. Yep. I got to tell you one thing. I woke up this morning.

Thanks. Thanks, George. I woke up this morning. I got four messages on my phone, right? First one is from Bob Hartley. Was today morning. Obviously from last night, he said, make sure Johnny goes asleep by midnight. The second one right after that I looked down, that a message on my iPhone, is Johnny Haki. Make sure tell Bob I was in bed, by 11. Thank you. The third one was from Peter Hanlon. If you win, you thank the best PR staff in the league, Calgary Flames. Can you give them a clap a little bit? Thank you. Thank you, the writers to Calgary Flames, Murray Edwards, Ken King, Brett Trail, Jay Feaster, Bob Hartley, best captain in a league

Marjordano I'll tell you what he's in the groove there that is underrated excellent stuff in NHL awards history that's one of the best right and that's like a collection

of cringe and like dudes that are really stiff reading teleprompters it's hard to watch it's awful but that right there like it felt like he could have done a half hour set he was feeling it he had the crowd with him he was going and right out of the gate

not even a hello thank you I have no shoes on Sorry. Oh, wow. Okay, we're in for something here. This is not off the teleprompter. There you go. So happy birthday on Wednesday or whatever the hell it was,

Yuri Woodler. Who's he now? Hey, isn't it Gretzky's? Gretzky's birthday? No, that's after my birthday. It's Razors' kids' birthday today. Oh, that's close. A lot of birthday.

Razors kid and Wayne. I was confused us too. Flames tonight. Get your helmet on. Game Day. New York Islanders in town. The only visit of the island. this season.

In Evanton last night. They were in Evanton last night. They were defeated by the hometown Oilers by a 4-2 score. Soupy's back, baby. Was that one one in a row for him? I'm not sure what it is. But no, they'd been, it's not about the Oilers, but it seemed to make it over.

They lost five in a row at home. There was some questions, called into question, some of their character and all that. It's January. It's got to be, right? That's when that stuff, is there trouble in the room.

Do these guys like each other? They're ninth in the West by points percentage, so I'm sure everything's fine. Once Connor heats up, they'll be in good shape, right? Yeah, if he could put a few on the board for them, that would help them. Let's get a good one of board. Are we excited to see the New York Islanders?

It's one of those teams in the east. You get to see them once a year. Pittsburgh comes in, big deal. I always like when the Rangers come in. It always feels like it's kind of a big, no? Not excited about the islanders. You're not a big... Brock Lobster fan.

The style of play, I think if you were an Ilerlinder fan, you'd be okay with the islanders. But for the rest of us that have to watch them when they come through, it's... And maybe we're putting too much stock in the Trots Islanders, and this is very different under Lane Lambert, but I just, I'm not really... There is the all-star, Barack. Brock Nelson. Didn't Lane Lambert learn under Barry Trots? Yeah. You've been groomed there.

I don't know that they looked a whole lot different when the Flames went there mid that seven game losing skit on that eastern swing. 4-3 overtime loss for the flames at the... Got out to USB-C-G-G-Eat. I think they had like... Element O'nopee Arena. UBS, but thank you. The Swiss banks will come after if you don't say their names right.

Oh, Swiss. Yeah, they had, what, 11 shots before the Islanders had one on the board? Up 1-0. You're like, all right, here we go. And then they give up a great A with a huge meltdown. They had Gilbert and D. Simone. Tanna was hurt. And then the end of blues next year.

That's right. They had Gilbert and D. Simone on the ice. The junior saber tandem. What was great about that one was, it was one of those clips we could have played the next day where I go with the, well, they've got Sebastian Aho, but not the good one. And then Aho scores the first goal of the game. And Dobson, who was the Flames pick. They swapped out for Hamannick ended up, I think, scored the winner. It was Janksy Pants night and that was the world falling apart for the flames amid that seven-game skid.

you showed these lines yesterday. Now, Cal Clutterbuck is not in. No, he was in last night. That's right. So he returned to the lineup. He returned to the lineup. They have Semyon Varlamov back. So they're getting healthier.

Wallstrom, Pellick, Palmary, now the injury ward or whatever you'd call it. But I don't know what to make of the Islanders. I don't know that I... I think they're a bubble team in the East. Yeah. I'm not expecting them to go out of the Eastern Conference. conference final for the third time in five years or whatever it would be. They missed last year amid that tough start with no home games for well over a month and injuries.

Yeah, it was like 20 games, 22 games. They started on the road. That's no fun. But they won't be an easy opponent. They're going to make you earn it. And they got good goaltending. I think we'll probably see Varlamov tonight, given that Sorokin played last night. But Sorokin is right up there.

Like he's going to get a lot of Vezna votes. He's probably a finalist or a top four guy if the votes today. It's probably him, O'Mark, and who also would be in that mix for really Schaelabuck for sure. He's an elite elite goalie, and the guy behind him would be pretty darn good over his career, too, and Ralaimov. Any Islander memories retro playing or as a kid? Because that's my earliest memories almost as a hockey fan. Yeah. Go ahead.

Mm-hmm. Well, I had to because my brother cheered for the stankan Oilers. and Brian Trache was from Valmarie. What am I going to do? Not cheer for Trache and the Islanders when my brother's cheering

for Gretzky and the Oilers? Absolutely was a big fan. Rich Peelon of Sasker too. Big Islander. There you go. Some of my earliest memories as a kid was watching the Islanders. It was right during that four straight.

And I remember the first time you mentioned Brian Trache because he was so good. And didn't realize then as a kid this is not a huge human. And what? He's from Saskatchewan. How is this guy from New York? Yeah. Raising the Stanley Cup year after year. He's from Saskatchewan. That can't be right. How my mind was just blown that this guy could be a Sasker. But Trache still goes down as one of the

most beloved guys in the game. You go to some of these events retro the alumni. He's playing the guitar. He's singing songs. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. He's invited to all of them. It's an alumni event. He's invited to it because he's always has a great person. He'll visit with anyone. And you know why that is, Dean? It's those small town values that you and I grew up with. That's right. That's why Rhett's so good in the crowds.

Small towns. You don't judge people because you only have two friends in the world. Yeah. You live more than a mile from the Calgary Tower. You're an asshole, that sort of thing. It was one of the few. Not one of the few. They're doing this job, getting into this business, the career,

the health, that whole thing. one of my, I guess kind of one of that, it's like, this is, this is a neat, this is a neat thing, one of those dumb alumni games or whatever, and was on the same team as Brian Trauchy. It's like, holy shit, that's Brian Trauchy. And you know what was funny is he got out there and the way he skated, he looked just like Brian Trotche. It was him.

It was like, that's really him. I have a story all about Keegan Kanzig the same way, but it's less. He's going to punch you right in the face, right in the face. I can't wait until he drew. I can't wait. You know, it's just going to be like whackamol. Lovely guy. He'll come in and just fucking bonging.

Why would he hit me? I didn't do anything to him. Not his fault. It's a flames fall for drafting him. He had no business getting drafted where he was. Anyway. Do you want to do the thing? I'll do the thing if you want.

Because you know I love doing the thing. What's the thing? What the hell are you talking about? You're going to the draft? That's right. Oh, no. Dean. Go look at the stats in his draft year and ask yourself

why any team would select him at all, never mind at that point of the draft. And then remember who the interim GMs. You know where he's from? He's from Athabaska, Alberta native Kigan Kanseh. He's 6'7, 247 pounds. He's big. Can't teach big, Ken, you're at?

What a heft. Third round. What was the word that Berkey was always using there? Truculent. Truculent. Yeah. Yeah. He was a third overall, third round pick, sorry,

67th overall in the 2013 draft. So before you go any further, 2013 draft, let's take a look at the stats from the 2012-13 season. His draft year where the flames used a third-rounder on this hulking monster, what, out of Victoria? Victoria Royals. I ended up playing for the Hidman later in his career. But yes, his draft year, I'm not sure what the point is you're making. Oh, I don't want to hear it because he must have blown people away. Third round.

In 70 games, he had no goals. Well, that's okay. He's d. Seven assists and 159 PIMs. Did score in the playoffs, though. A six round defeat in round one. Anyway, whatever, you know. Lovely guy.

That's all I hear. Nice guy. So Keegan Kanzig, third round, probably by then everything's, they wrung out all of the talent of the draft. So there's maybe one of those down years. There's no Braden point sitting right there for you. That wasn't this draft class. Well, they could have taken Anthony Duke Claire.

The Duke. He was taken later in that round. Carter Verheagie was taking. taken later in that round. Jake Gensel was taken later in that round. Jack the snake? Yeah. That would have been a nice pick right there.

Just a guy that scores 30 in his sleep. Yeah, that'd be all right. Yeah, that'll be all right. He's got cross. He'll be all. Andrew Kopp. Oh, good player. Not bad.

Nick Paul. Nick Paul's turned into a nice player. Mm-hmm. Boy, settle down, Alex. He was a saber or senator for a while. Settled down. Carson Susey. Sousy's been nice for Seattle.

I mean, it's, I guess what we're saying is not McKenzie Weger was taken to the seventh round and now he's a flame so it all balances out. Evie Stevie. Evie Stevie. Yeah. How did we get here? Keegan Kanzig.

Prior to that was Troche Islanders. That's right. But for a long time. Hoods didn't. Sorry. Hoods didn't give a lot of love to Berkey and that? No. Thank you speech.

Burkey around. He was there in the hell yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah. Because Trilliving was already in. Well, there was a little Czech mafia at the time because you had Laddie Schmead on that team. I remember the Flames poker tournament

and the Czech contingent got a stern talking to from Mr. Burke. They were a little too, Don's La Bagg, I think. My check's a little weak. They were very much Don's La Bagg. Yeah. And so, interesting note there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You know who's going to be at the game tonight? Congratulations. Kenan. Kenan Stoffer. Kenan Stoffer was our ticket winner, courtesy of Mad Rose Pub. We do it throughout this entire season. Mad Rose Pub has been given tickets away and $50 gift cards. Stoff Dog.

Congrats to Keegan. I don't know if you don't go before. Is that the Stauffer? Is that the scalp potato mac and cheese? It is. Yeah. Yeah. of the Stauffer's packaged potato family.

The frozen food empire. That's right. Yeah. But hey, you know what? If you can win free tickets, it's obviously keen, it's probably got season tickets being the flush. But enjoy those tickets.

Enjoy Madrose Pub. Royal Vista Place. When are we going? We keep talking about it. We haven't been since before Christmas. Thanks are going to get busy here. My family's going to return. Next week.

Let's do it. Madrose Pub, 20 beers on town. It's kid-friendly, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. It is, it's the food. It's a great atmosphere. It's, when we went, everybody we talked to that goes, I thought this was going to be kind of like an older, kind of a dark pub.

No, it's new, bright. It's very vibrant, is how I would describe, the atmosphere and the mood inside Madros. Great food. Gourmet pizza, dough and signature sauce, made fresh daily. Go to their website. You get your takeout. Madrose. Pub or check them out.

15 Royal Vista Place Mad Rose Pub. They fry the wings and then they bake them. You can't do it any other way after you've had it that way. Now that's how you got them, but it was Matt who served them up. Do you have to order them special? I don't know. Ask them. They're flexible clearly.

Go and ask them. Matt knew what was up. He threw those down. I'm like, what is this? Best swings have ever had. How are we doing for time? We got time. Speaking of which, how's this for a segue?

I wrote it down. It's something that I wanted to talk about today. Something that came up from the pre-show. God love the pre-show. Who's going to buy the pre-show? Is it what were you doing to sell him the pre-show? I don't know what he's doing. He's out there.

Pound on the pavement. Yeah, he's giving her. Coffee for closers. Let's go. Somebody got an air fryer for Christmas. Okay. Now, I got one a while ago, and I was very much of the,

do I need one? I don't know if I want one. I already have an oven. There's small portions. How am I going to? Eh, I don't. I feel like that. The instant pot, the air friars, for people that don't really enjoy or know how to cook.

They can just put something in there and cook. But then I got one and I don't use it a ton, but for your, the odd food, like chicken nuggets or French fries or something you'd want to fry. Right. Lots of shabby. That's right. Weird. So did you get the air fryer? We've had an air friar for a while.

Ozzy Sheila dominates the roasted vegetables in the air friar on a regular basis. It's an heavy rotation at our place. So that leaves, was it, what, Dan Man, Wolverine? Who got it? Who got the air friar? I'm excited to try the air fryer. Retro got an air fryer. That's right.

And I got the industrial-sized air friar, so I don't have to worry about no small meals or anything. It's massive. Mass. It's also the pressure cooker. What? It's all one and same. It does all sorts of things, apparently.

This is that right? I didn't know they had those two combined. Yeah. Huh. There's no like door that opens up on the front. It's a top. Top. So, sorry, I wasn't really listening to.

Have you used it? Have you experimented yet? No, I haven't. I got to, I can't make wings here. If I'm eating wings, I'm going out for wings. I'm sorry.

You're the wing capital of the world, basically. Buffalo. Yeah. What we're talking about? They're experts all over the place here. I'm not make wings. I don't know what else.

Maybe a grilled cheese? Like, What would have made in it? No, no, no, no. That's a grilled cheese. No. Something different. You know, if you went and got one of those, uh, you're not a,

Croc madame or crick madame. No, that's not the air friars for you. It's not a sandwich maker. Isn't a pinini press? If you go grab one of those, the Oriental party pack where it's got your little, uh, your little, uh, your little, uh, little bite size things there, you little appies. It's, it's for your appetizers.

Totally. Hey, you know what you put in there? Mata sticks. Yeah, good Mata stick coming out of there. Nice, crispy, hot. Chicken nuggets, chicken fingers. Boom, boom. The one I have, it's got a kind of a rotisserie tumbler thing.

French fries come out nice and crisp. Yeah. I'm not a huge believer, but I'm not a disbeliever like I was. Non-believer? Unbelievable. So all kinds of crap I shouldn't eat. It's good for that. Yeah, there's nothing you should be.

Yeah, for sure. No, no, no, no. a hater. But in turn, but if you're frying something, you know, shouldn't be eating it probably anyway. What are you, what are you eating that's healthy that's fried? The stuff my wife puts in there. Things that occur on the ground. Well, that's just it. Like, it's more than just a frying machine, isn't it? Like, I wonder you're so bitchy all the time. Have a fucking sandwich. Can I put a steak in there? No. It's not a griddle. Like you're not frying. Did he get an air friday to get something else? See, the what it's describing to me does not sound like an air fryer.

It's replacing a... You know what? You two... I don't know why I'm asking you because you don't know nothing about food other than stuff in your faces. I'm good at that. What it's replacing is not a fry pan or a griddle. It's a deep fryer. Something that you would fry in oil is where you would use this.

So keep your crock madame and masseur and your grilled cheese and all that and your steak. Don't put a steak in the air fryer. I'm trying it. All right. Steaks of some meat. Sirline tips. It's going to work. I'm going to put it in the fetichini, Alfredo.

It's going to be delicious. Time for the Pinder report. It's presentation of Village Honda. Yep. All makes, all, you bring them in? It's the state-of-the-art service center up at Village Honda in the Northwest Auto Mall. Body shop, done, detailing, done windshield repair, accessories. Wow.

shuttle service door to door with a smile, which is nice. Come and experience the difference at Village Honda. 7660 through 110th Ave northwest online VillageHonda.com. It's time for the Pinder Report. So you're there in a couple of weeks, Village Honda.

That's right. And CRV hybrid. I might buy, you know what? I might buy two. Two? Sassy. All right. You win that 50-50 for the Oilers last night?

They're very affordable, Ryan. I'll tell you. Calgary Flames in action tonight. You talked about it. It's the Islanders tonight, fellows. And oh, did you know that the Calgary Flames have an all-star on the team? Isn't that great, Red? You're going to the All-Star game.

Who is it? There he is. Oh. It's not even Hube-Duby-Duby-Doo. Going back to Florida? It's certainly not Hube-Duby-Doo. I don't think we're surprised by that. Maybe a little surprised when you think about it.

You're like, geez, I don't know that it'd be easy to pick an all-star on this team. And Zadora's at a good year, but he's a third pair guy. Goleys, no. That's adorable. Like who's that great? And they go, oh, Rasmus Anderson's probably, that seems to be the guy that probably you'd make a strong case for. Nope.

Cadre. Okay. And he's been good. I wouldn't suggest he's been great. He's had great stretches. And he's slowed down. Yeah. Yeah.

So, okay. Cadry, where you go. Feel for Rasmus. So he's deserving to be an all-star. And to be fair, this format they're doing, I think it's still a three-on-three by division. and there's not a lot of D going. I think there's only one D on the Pacific team, if I'm correct.

Anyway, that's what kept Red off the All-Star game. That's right, yeah. And the Olympic team in Nagano. I'm going to get my... Not enough D on that team. It's true. Nagano was big for me. You were excited about that. A big setback in my career trajectory.

I mean, Rob Zamner made that team. It couldn't have been that deep. I know different positions, but I feel like you're a better Rett than he was a Rob Zamner, no? At least I had potential. Rob Zamner was already washed up by the time they picked him. The worst NHL. Poor Rob Zaminer, right?

Probably Max is out as an NHLer. He's playing in Tampa Bay. Good for Rob Zammar. And you know what? It's like it's not his fault. It's like the Kagan Kanzig thing. It's not his fault. It's the people that selected him.

Gong, gong, gong. Andy Murray, God love Andy Murray. Took Rob Zaminer. Why? Don't take, no, don't do it. Don't do it. Oh, we got a PK special. You can teach a superstar to kill a penalty.

We needed a summit after that. That was, that was piss poor all around. Yeah, and they got, then Mark Crawford was running Ray Bork out in the shootout while Gretzky watched with the, oh, barf. Good times. I have to sign a message here. Yeah, there's some other All-Stars they're scrolling through there. Logan Thompson.

Calgary Kid. Tage Thompson. Not a Calgary Kid. Two Tonsons. Couple of Thompson. Have you ever been to Thompson? Come to Cachshund? I heard.

Thompson's the shit. Good for polar bears. Brutal for humans. T-Town. Go to Thompson. Okay, let's go to the World Juniors. Yesterday, apparently, I'm told, was the gold is metal? Not today at 4.30?

Let us know who wins. Shit. Well, I guess if it was yesterday, we better have some highlights. What happened in this damn game? Total excuse to go to the bar and I missed it. Yeah. They're having a good night in Halifax. Today is still probably.

Yeah. A heavy fog. in off the coast over Halifax just right sort of between the years too much rum look at this this is the bar in Halifax Keeve away Retro

Oh I want to go to the East Coast so bad I want to go Me too Damn it Can we do a trip out there? Yes Please I'm trying to think like how do you do it

If you would like to sponsor our trip for no reason no to East Coast lobster We just had a reason to be a reason to be out there. Now it's wrong. Yeah, I know. Relate to the party on the line.

We're going to celebrate the hometown of Adam Party. Yay! Heave away. Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Heave away. Ladies and gentlemen, Peter Maher. Campbellton. That's can't be far away.

That's right. It's all off skipping a jump from there. It's awesome. So the CFO's been talking about you there for 15 years. When the stamps go play there next year, why don't we do that? Sure. They got that done by now, right? because they've been 15.

Hey, can I ask a question? No, things are going too good for the season. That's right. The nine teams, it's just we don't want to get to an even number. It's going to fuck everything up.

Lower. It's running smoothly. Lower our standards. Why? Anyway, Calvary plays Halifax Wonders. That's true. So three on three because my kid was like,

so what are they going to play overtime? And then they go to shoot us, like, no, they're doing three on three till there's a winner. five on five in the shootout or three on three till there's a winner, which would you prefer? I don't like the shootout. I know it's...

I can't have... Yeah, go ahead, Rhett. Can't I have five on five then three on three? I think you might as... Is it too much to ask? In a gold medal game, I'm with you. I think that actually probably is the move. If it goes along, who the hell cares?

No one's going to be like, well, it's time now for I got to get out of it. No, you're going to stay and watch anyway. It's the thing about three on three. You're not going to be sitting there forever. It's going to end. And when that pass hits the blue line, it's two on one. you're like, this is probably game over. If you said game over, you weren't a long.

As soon as it was turned over. I said it to Ryan, yeah. Game over. As soon as that guy lost the puck coming over the offensive line and Clark pushed it out, here it comes, here it is. Yeah. Game over. Which is fine.

I still prefer three on three to the shootout. I agree. I would. I'd be a proponent of, give me five minutes of five on five. You know, you probably don't saw. I don't know. Maybe just, hey, was it exciting? And when they scored, where you're like,

damn it, I wish this was five on five, it would feel better. No. It was great. No. And more proof of that. Check out the crowd in Halifax. Like they're doing the, we'll get the volume up. They get that, da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na.

They're handing out the awards here. Yeah, they're all hammered. Zoom in, zoom in, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom. Look at the beer pyramid. Good work. Oh, dude, we could have been there. Oh. And the boys soaked it up, did a little victory lap around the end.

This crowd was phenomenal for the whole tournament, maybe the most successful tournament in terms of crowds and attendance. A new record 10,600 plus at the Metro Center, whatever corporate label slapped on it. I've only been to Halifax once, but it is, you can see why events like this go over big. It's a tight little town, they're a little kind of downtown. Great little strip of pubs, yeah. Yeah, it's. I've been dreaming about going there for, I don't know, 20 years.

Great. next time they have the World Jews will be ahead of that one, right? In fairness, we only started this thing a few months ago. And they announced it late or whatever. Okay. You know, it's one thing for Canadians to be proud of this game, this team, this tournament.

But what about someone that maybe was cheering for the Czechs or Czechia in this game? How about Jake the Snake Voracek? Getting on Twitter. I have a little love for all things World Junior. What a tournament for Czech Republic. A lot to be excited about. Great pace.

Great mental strength. great buddy over other overcoming adversity. Bleeping Unreal. Congrats to Canada. You guys doing right. What a tournament. And then at the bottom, sorry for spelling.

I'm little bit in one. That a boy, Jake. I'm little bit in one. Are you supposed to? I'm a little bit in one. And you're like, okay, it's not his first thing to be like, no, he was over here for a while.

Well, he played with, because remember Commodore told us a story. Commodore played with him in Columbus. He's like, goes through bags of peanut M&Ms like you read about. Oh, nice. Just the family-sized bags of peanut. Look out.

Yeah. Sorry for spelling. I'm little bit in one. I'm a little bit in one. Little bit danger. Boy, Jake. Is he going to play again? I don't know.

Hasn't played for a while now. And then there's a lot of, he talked about the number of concussions he had. I think if I'm thinking about the right, it's probably one of those things where it's like, Jake, you've made a lot of money. Oh, yeah. Laddie, think of your kids.

A lot of money. Yeah. Flatty. And, hey, the boys must be having a great time. Oh, they're, you know, heading back to their NHL teams. Brand Clark, you're going to go back. Shane, right back to Seattle. Shane, you're going back to the L.

That this morning. Back to Kingston. This is what Rhett was worried about. Remember, he wasn't upset about going to the world juniors. He was upset about the big picture. If I'm going back to the juniors, they're going to send me back to Saskatoon. They're sending them back to Kingston. That photo of Chris Johnston?

Holy. that's some sort of stylized thing get the collar popped love it so yeah that's what you want to hear the next day you just have the night of your life and oh just getting in kingston son oh i can't wait to show the the boys in the crackin room my medal uh you're going to kingston and they're going to trade you right away so retro when you went how many games had you played with the florida panthers that rookie year like half of them all them okay yeah no not i paid 10 out of the first 11th and then not many. Okay.

I only played 28 the whole year, so. Because Shane Wright's played eight games with the Crack. A bunch in the H.L. I shouldn't say a bunch. I played more than that. Five. Five for the Coachella Valley Firebirds. Eight with the Cracken.

I know this. I think if you go a little bit deeper, if you want to actually have like the real conversation. For contract, his age, the whole thing, for the Seattle Cracken, it makes sense. for him to go back. And why are they in the standings? Are they right at the bottom?

Are they like fighting for home ice in the Pacific? Yeah, there are enough. This is, he missed a full season in the O that year where the O shut down and kept saying they were going to start up, start up. He trusted them. Yeah, okay,

I'll wait, oh wait. Other guys are going to Europe to play. Other guys went down to the U.S. The guys are getting out of the O to try to play. He played zero games that year. This is not your standard top five pick because he lost his 16-year-old season. So go play. If I'm Shane Wright,

I want to go back to Seattle and the charter flights and the five-star, like I get it. But if you're the team in terms of him as a commodity and him as a prospect, it does make sense. Developmentally, he's got to play. Go dominate, win a Memorial Cup, come back, be an impact player with Seattle next year. You were sort of, I guess, bathing in the memories of your gold victory and the fears of heading back to junior. Why don't we revisit that 1996 gold. God, that's a long time ago.

For Canada. You're old, hey. That was before. What is that? This is good because I crank it up. Oh, my. Biggie. What?

Volume. This. Biggie. You know, I'd have been satisfying either way, whether, you know, what I would have scored or not. I think, you know, it took all 22 guys. Looks like he's 30. To, you know, contribute and to win the gold medal.

But the top forward in the tourney was Jerome McGinla, who was also out to prove he's worth Joe Nguyendyke, the price Calgary paid to get his rights. I hope that I, you know, hopefully impress some people in Calgary in the Calgary organization. and, you know, I just hopefully, it was to help me continue to go on and have a good rest of the season with Camloops and just continue to help me throw it.

It's like a puppy. Yet whatever personal pressures the young Canadians dealt with throughout, they knew they had the support of a nation. Oh, wait red in there, Alex is getting excited. Settled down, Alex. Had a sweat going. Remember, see a doctor for the last four hours. I'm glad you showed that because my kids asked who we beat him the final,

and I didn't know. So that's good. Oh, for Christ. You didn't remember? Look at it, Kenla. I knew we were. He's a baby. It was the Russians in the suite.

Well, I had to game, or so, but I couldn't remember. Gold Medal game doesn't remember. People like, Labardius could tell you what color underwear he wore that day. He was on the ice and doesn't even remember the damn team. He could tell you what color underwear worn or wore that day. Probably, yes. Investigative journalism. There you go.

That's your boy. Text you back? Are you playing hard to get still? He did. We've been, no, we've been, we've been, we've been, well, I wouldn't, we've been texting each other. Good. Can you,

talking? Can you give us the text? What are the last three, what are the last three texts in your text conversation? Jerome. Is it you, him, you, and you're waiting to hear back? Or is it him, you, him, and you haven't responded to him yet? I got to be careful because

I put together a group chat. Yeah. A few months ago. because at the rink here at the town center, Craig Conroy's in the Western New York Hockey Hall of Fame. That's right. And so when I go upstairs, I see that picture. So I took a picture of it and sent it to a bunch of duds that I played with,

Iggy included, except I had Iggy's old number in there. And the guy that had the number started to threaten me. He was going to beat the piss out of me or something. Oh, dear. Took a twist there. see coming. Stop texting me. I'm sorry.

Okay, dude. Just press delete. Leave the group, buddy. Somebody's pretty important. So, Iggy text. What do we got? I don't know. I've got to find it.

Is this his number? Oh, yeah. He asked, great to hear. A lot of fun. Helping with the boys. Lots of hockey. We've been coaching.

Bishop Kearney, who is in the Circle K tournament. He keeps pushing me to tell I send my kid there. I think it's near Rochester. It's all right. School to go plan? Six.

Yeah, it's only 50 or 60K. Why not? A year per kid. Yeah. Well, you made $7 million a year, didn't you? Forever? No, that's true. I woke up.

I woke up in the middle of the night last night and determined that I'm a poor man. What? You determine that in the middle of the night. Like in terms of ethics and that? No, I'm very ethical. Financially, I'm screwed. Oh, are you?

That's good. So that mansion's sitting empty on a lake in Calgary? You haven't found any way to make money on that, or you haven't sold that guy? I'll call hope street. Yeah, that's probably good call. Dot, CA. Okay. Why feel for you?

Yeah. Let me be the first to say, I'm sympathetic to your financial woes. Probably best to move on. I see how this is going to go. Let's go to the NHL fellows. You know who loves the All-Star game? Aside from Nazim Kadri and weepy Erasmus Anderson, we hypothesized,

John Tortorella is jacked. Here's a little chat with the Philly media. Now, TK is Travis Kineckney, who's had a great year. There's a context you need. John, TK has been arguably your most consistent player all year long. Are you disappointed that he didn't make the All-Star team tonight?

Oh, I don't even worry about that shit. The way they all out, the whole game, the whole weekend, and watch it. I think it's turned into a, well, I'll just leave it at that. I really don't care. Do you think that he's deserving it? I really don't care. Okay, I'm done. You just say, I don't, you know, I caught himself. I can't even, and then it's just like, the question's over, just walks. No, I don't know if there's any more question. I just, I'm done. You ask me it all, I'm out of here. Now, Alex, I'm going to kind of throw you,

can you rack that up again to the start? John is not faking. You, watch his reaction. If you, watch his reaction, you're watching on YouTube. As soon as he gets the context of the question, TK, Travis Kine, and then he asks about the All-Star, look at the facial expression and truly the disdain and indifference he has. Take a look.

John, TK. has been arguably your most consistent player all year long. Are you disappointed that he didn't make the All-Star team tonight? Oh, I mean, worry about. It's like, what are you? Oh, my God.

The whole game, the whole weekend, I don't even watch it. I think it's turned into a, well, I'll just say, at that. I really don't care. Do you think that he's deserving? I really don't care. I really don't care.

Would it have killed him to say after it's fun for the kids? You know, the All-Star is what it. But yeah, would something. Like play ball a little bit? He can't be bothered. He just can't be bothered. Other NHL news, Vegas had some

awesome jerseys on for their pre-game skate. Teams will do this. When they got warm-ups, if it's salute the military, They'll do camo. This is the pride jersey for the Vegas Golden Knights. If Alice can zoom in, these are unreal. Look at that.

Does that not look like some sort of Vegas pinball machine? Numbers on the back pretty cool as well. This is an artist named Mio. She's from Sweden and she did that incredible Canucks Pride jersey with all the colors. And apparently they went for raffle and it was just like thousands and thousands of dollars. Like they're gone. Like, sorry guys. Limited edition.

That's pretty cool. And we'll show you the back. Petrangles kind of got his number tucked in a little so you'll miss it. the bottom half, but you can see you can have some fun with this jersey. If you zoom in on that, like all different little colors, like Vegas lights and marquee. Is the NHL having fun?

Vegas has been good to having fun. Scabalve's been good to have fun. These teams coming in has helped loosen them up. I like the reverse retro things we've done. Not all of them are hits, but we've had some really good ones. You saw the remade whalers, Nordiques,

the old Norse dark colors. Devils had a little blue and yellow stripe in, saluting what, like the Cleveland Crusaders or something like that. There's all kinds of fun stuff going on. Very nice. Yeah, very nice. Ovechkin, 37 years old.

And, you know, it's tough at that age. A lot of guys don't last that long in this league. It's like after 30, you're like an old man. And I don't know how much A535 he's rubbing on every day, but he's looking pretty spry. Dino, this is all be last night. Number 29. That's a lot.

A lot of goals. He's getting rubbed out. Where is he? Where is he going to score from? Oh, just where all his goals come from. No one's not coming. That would be like if you rob a bank every day. Yeah.

And you come in at the same time with a ski mask and handguns. And every time's like, oh, hello, sir. What can we do for you today? Oh, geez, he's robin us. Oh, he should have seen it coming. Oh, geez, he did it again. 13-time All-Star. And remember, he used to skip the All-Stars and go swim with the dolphins in Mexico

and get suspended for the first game back. That's right. You're talking about Miss lockouts and all that. he used to go swim with dolphins and take the doing it in 81 game seasons. Rhett, you love swimming with dolphins. I'm big fan. Sharks, too. Wow, dangerous.

So Ovi's, they played four, game 41 last night. That's half the NHL calendar, Dean. So he's at 29 that puts him on pace for 61 goals. Close, very close. Well, it's an impressive place. If you're going to beat him, Gretzky's record, get it over with. I don't want this to drag off. Well, he's 84 back.

So I said, yeah. Like it's, half of them by the end of this year. If he gets another 20, that's 64 and he's got what, three years left on his deal? Like it's basically two 35 goal seasons. He's got this thing in the bag. Oof, that sounds easy but also hard at the same time.

Like some 39-year-old going to be ripping 35 goals. It's an injury. It's the only thing to stop some, right? From the same spot for, even if he's hurt, he'll just go into power play. and stand there and shoot. One foot. Love it.

Capitals, by the way. And you know what? I like him. He's a beauty. So I'm okay. Yeah, it's personality. It's fun. And yeah, there's

the caps have been rolling since the, they didn't run. They don't have great against the flames this silly. But look at this run there on here. 12, 1 and 2 since December 5th. That's the best team in the league since the 5th of December.

Best in goals four. Best in goals against. Undefeated on the road. And OV16 goals more than anyone, more than 10. age, more than Robertson, more than McDavid, more than anyone, more than pasta since December 5th. And when did we, when did it start to turn on Ovi? When did we all start when he got drunk in the fountain after winning the cup? It was that, when the kick stand out of the cup. Well, they kept

stolen out in the second round. You felt for him because he had played Pittsburgh, first or second round, it seemed like every year. And they finally get through you. Like, you know what? I'd love to see this guy get one. And then he sets a new bar for like how you celebrate with the cup. I mean, just sensational work. Hall of Fame credentials and points, but in terms of like Stanley Cup celebration, big gap between him and second place. I think that it started when he took that one

right in the chin on the bench during the final game there when they won and didn't even flinch. That's right. Remember that? Yeah. He was on the bench with hardly any time. Just right on the chin and just...

What? Yeah. Russian machine not break. Yeah. Amazing news, Rhett. I imagine the city of Buffalo. There's a massive exhale today. We heard there was a breakthrough and good turn in the health of DeMar Hamlin.

But how about this? Address the team via FaceTime today. Speaking to teammates one on one, talk to the whole group. That would have been an emotional moment. And like you think about what could have been. This feels like a miracle, right, when they did nine minutes of CPR

and had to resuscitate them twice because it's hard to stop. That's incredible. I don't think many people were expecting, especially this speedy. I think we were all expecting to hear bad news. So it's, nope, goosebumps. We got goosebumps.

And speaking to that, not lost on Robert Griffin III, who his career was shortened by injury, nothing like this, but there's a hero for you. That is the man who performed CPR for nine minutes on the Bill's Defender. Buffalo, you'd buy him a beer if you see him, rat. Awesome. I would, whatever he wants. He will never have to buy a beer again.

his life. Denny Kellington, who's on the Bill's medical staff. Love it. Finally, to close the Pinda report, you know, Ottawa's been taking it in the teeth a little because, you know, we like to poke fun at Alex. Or find, uh, the producer switch. I don't know the word what he does.

I can't do it. He's good at it. He's in Ottawa. He loves talking about Ottawa. So we did a little research and we were kind of cracking, like, oh, you know, we roll up the sidewalks at nine. Well, hang on. Here are your six best places to go in Ottawa.

I've only been once for very short amount of time. This looks like a local. It might even be someone Alex knows. Because it can have that small town vibe. Here are the top six places to go in Ottawa. Let's have a watch. Here's the six best places to go in Ottawa if you want to actually have a good time.

One, the airport. Here you can find big cars with wings that can take you somewhere where you might actually have a good time. Two, the train station. Similar to a plane, only this one has wheels. Plus it has Wi-Fi so you can get as far away from Ottawa as possible in comfort.

Three, any rental car agency. Sometimes the most common method of can. transportation is the best. And remember, the US border is only a mere two and a half hours away. 4. A dock. Which dock you go to doesn't really matter. Just so long as your boat has enough fuel to get you out of Ottawa, you'll be okay. 5. The bike store. Your biggest adversary with this one will be the weather. Not your will to leave the city. And you know how the saying goes When there's nothing left to do in your city, you leave and go to a different city. Six, any shoe store. A good pair of shoes can make all the difference when it comes to the foot pain. I back paint and exactly how fast you can get your ass out of the city.

So there you have it. And who says Ottawa's more? Look at all those cool places you could go. I have to take some bad rap. He thought he was going to say, Berafax. No, just waiting for the Verfax city.

I mean, Bearfax, I'm sure is lovely. I bet you're somewhere better in Gatno. Just get those shoes with the running store. Get going. So yeah. You know,

enough picking on Ottawa, guys. It's things to do there. What happens when the water freezes? Does the water freeze? Because that takes the boat out of play, doesn't it? Tricky area, yeah. That's Penderport for Village. Brought to you by Village Honda.

When we said Tasty, we didn't mean that. Now, a few things we got to get to here before we bid you a do on this Friday. Montana's on board as one of our new sponsors. We told you the other day, Mondays, because they want to get people. Let's get out. Let's get doing stuff. The games are on at home, but it's always better with buddies. It's always better to get out and have something to eat.

Have a few drinks. Have a good time. Montana's Monday night, wing night. Wednesday night, all you can eat ribs. There you go. Half price,

look at those bad boys. Oh, doctor. Is that ranch or do we have a blue cheese? What are we looking at there? That looks like a ranch. Yeah, looks like a ranch.

Now, I don't, I don't want to, there's going to be more coming. For now, Monday, Wednesday, there you go. But it's the daily deals.

Today, daily drink, Today is Friday. Tell me. You slide by Montana's. They got the ransom. The Long Island Ice Tea. Oh, look out.

I remember that. Remember the Long Island Ice Tea retro? It's got like four kinds of booze in it. When we were, it was like, man, the Long Island Ice Tea, when you were starting to get, you're getting close to drinking age and that, it's like, oh yeah, get just right into it. Now, please, be responsible. But you can enjoy one. That's the daily deal over at Montana's.

Montana's barbecue and bar, getting people out, getting you social again, the place to be to cheer on your favorite team, enjoy half-price wings, the ribs, but just a nice cold beer, fire-grilled food, smoked in-house, sauced up, meaty, tender, always hearty and delicious. A couple of Long Island's will make this game tonight, between the aisles and flames a little more exciting, I think. There you go. Montana's barbecue and bar.

So when you're making Long Islands back in Saskatch and Manate, as young men, excited about this, this incredibly modern drink from a big city. What, uh, we're using all five boozes. Are you supposed to use? Five. I wasn't mixing them. Vodka, rum, triple sec, tequila, and gin. Good night.

Dang. Yeah. My long island was whatever booze was available in iced tea. Yeah. And that's kind of what it looks like when you read the recipe. Just a dash of everything. Is it shit mix and iced tea put together? Is it white liquor?

Is it dark liquor? It's all. Yep. Just put it whatever you got. How much is left in each of those bottles? Pour it in.

And put some ice tea in there. We'll do our bet way betts in a moment. Outdoor dental, you were giving me crap the other day. I was. I might.

I've got to go there. I had, listen, there's some things you have, you got to, went for a cleaning yesterday. I'm done.

Must have been great. You're an outdoor dental, right? Well, no, because it was booked. I had to go in. Idiot. I'm done.

I went to see Dr. J. Patel. I saw it with mine own eyes. I felt it. I tasted it. I said, I could see it. Your regular dentist is not, it's the way of the... Dodo Bird.

Yeah, it's kind of a moldy reference. The cassette, CD. VCR. It's like you're sitting at home watching VCR tapes, you know? Step it up. Outdoor. Dot Dental. Go and see Dr.J. Rhett's brother has outfitted him with all the state of the art.

Laser pears. Cutting edge technology. Lasers, not drills. Like that. And of course, as we've told you, do you have sleep apnea?

Do you suffer from snoring? It's that soft palate in the back of your jib in their two 15-minute appointments, treatments, and it's going to change your life. And your wife's life, which is a good thing. Or whoever you sleep with. Your husband, your boyfriend,

your girlfriend. with it's not your wife. We'll move on. It's fine. I don't know. We'll get to find out here shortly. Non-surgical, pain-free, outdoor. Dot dental is the website.

Go and check that out today. Do I do these Betway bets? Do it. Week 18. Yes. The NFL season. Final week of the year. And I was kind of belly-ache and coming in

because there's, half the league is playing a quarterback. You've maybe never heard. of before in your life. Or if you have it been like the butt of a joke like Nathan Peterman or Skyler Thompson. Mike Glennon. That's right. A long neck gross. But you know it's the bet we bet responsibly. But here's what we're looking at for the final week. The Jacksonville Jaguars home to the Tennessee tightness. Six and a half. Six and a half at home for the Jags. They are 05 and 1 against the spread in their last six.

They rested a bunch of their big dogs last week because they knew it didn't matter. They had this game against Jacksonville for the division. They win this. They're the four seed in the FC. They lose. They miss the playoffs. It's all this week. Joshua Dobbs is QB for the Titans.

That doesn't sound great. But this just feels like maybe a low scoring kind of a deal. Almost a touchdown. I'm going to take the points and go with the Titans plus six and a half. Interesting. New Orleans and the Panthers. It's the hook. I'm going to take the extra half point.

Panthers plus three and a half. The run defense is not great for New Orleans. Deont de Foreman's been good this year. Maybe Chuba gets a chance. Plus three and a half for Carolina. And in Chicago, they are, what, three and 13 or whatever? They sounds like they've almost got first overall draft pick locked up. That's the bad they've been.

That's the thing. No fields at quarterback this week. He's injured. And they have a chance. The first overall pick. Elaine. And of course, for the Vikings, they've got the NSC North nailed down, but they still have a shot at that number.

one seed. I don't like the hook on this, but I don't feel like it should be close. Minus seven and a half. I'll take the Vikings. All right. I don't mind those at all. Good logic. So that goes. Trying, yeah. It's always worked for me in the past. All right, my picks. Let's have a dance. There was a game that we had a line that got taken away and now it's back. So we love it. Here's exactly what we have. Raiders at home against Kansas City. Casey just hasn't been covered. Remember when they had like 13 and a half against Houston? Couldn't cover. Denver. Couldn't cover. Raiders, not going to cover. Plus, who's a quarterback for the Raiders?

It's not Derek Carr. They're getting motivated young man throwing the ball. Is there Uncle Rico? Throw it over them there, mountains. Raiders plus eight and a half. Jim, Plunkett. Bengals against Baltimore. Cincinnati played what? Half a quarter last week. There is something to play for in terms of

seeding in the AFC, I believe. NFL is going to meet about that. These games playing aren't going to be even. Minas and a half against a Baltimore team. Lamar Jackson hasn't played over a month. More practice this week. He ain't going to go. They have not looked good without Lamar. Some ugly wins and such, but not anything close to what we expect the Bengals.

They didn't look good with Lamar. That's true, too. He's at a rough year. And, yeah, fourth answer to Pro Bowl. Beautiful, right? That's what you think of when you think of Tyler Huntley. No. And my final pick, we head back to the board in a battle of third stringers.

Joe Flacco against Skyler Thompson. Remember when these two teams are in playoffs? spots. Oh, look, Miami's going to get. Oh, the chance are great. Robert Salis doing a great job there. Wow. Look at them go. Oh. I'm going to take three and a half points because both these teams blow and it's third stringers both ways. I mean, they blow a third stringers at the hell message, I should suggest.

I'll take flack over Skyler Thompson. Those are my betway bets of the day. There you go. Betway bets of the day. Get the way out. That's wrong. What's wrong with you two? What's the time of? Oh, we didn't get your picks. Well, you got the bills. and then you're taking the Bengals and the Browns

because that's what you always do, even if they're playing each other. No, I can't have the Bengals because if the Bengals win, then the bills and the Bengals tie, I need KC to lose, so we've got to take the Raiders and the Browns. Raiders and the Browns.

That's easy. Well done. And what are the spreads on those? Yeah. So bills minus six and a half at home, Brett. I like that. Browns, you're sticking with them or not? No, sorry.

Brown's, okay. They're plus two and a half at Pittsburgh. Okay, I don't mind that. And then your last one you wanted Casey to lose. And that was Vegas. Yeah. You're with me. Yeah.

Because you get nine and a half points. With the news coming from Cincinnati, obviously Buffalo News with Hamlin, could be bills by a million this weekend. I feel the same way exactly. That's going to be a fired up group. And New England's, yeah, they got something to play for it. There's a talent discrepancy there.

Before we say goodbye. So you guys. Okay. So you guys are okay. If I go to this game and maybe don't make. The Chicago. You need to just show up, drunk, sober, or other on the postgame show. That's all.

I don't care if you watch it. If you're hammered. I have to be home 8.30 on Sunday night. One o'clock start. I would say 10 Eastern is when we're going to record. PM. It's a lot of time to dry out. But if you can record, if you can tape the game, as you say, if you can tape it and then kind of catch up on your PVR, skip the intermissions and commercial breaks, you'll catch up.

He's got a big 7 p.m. Puck drop Eastern time. You're going to be able to have a huge nap in there. Sleep it off, drunky. What time's the game? It is a 5 Mountain 7 Eastern puck drop. You sure. I thought it was always 5 o'clock Chicago time, and that's central, isn't it? It says 5 Mountain here.

You're not good at this, Bender. I can't just. I'm seeing 5 Mountain. It's always been 5 Mountain. This guy's trying to weasel out of this, that's all. Game's done by 930. If you want out, that's fine. The later it goes almost the better.

That's what I mean. Well, again, crash and have a nap for a couple hours. We've done one show. It is time for Rhett to start sniveling out of them. He hasn't done one yet. Thought this be a nice soft landing spot. Early puck drop out east. I was sitting at home by myself for you to, you know what?

Soft launch. It was a soft launch. We didn't know if it was going to be a show. I didn't want to waste your. You know what? There's a 930 puck drop on the 18th. Is that good for you? Maybe we'll start the post game at half past midnight.

Does that one better for you? Think how drunk you could be by 1 a.m. Geez. Why don't you dumb asses get out of bed in the morning? We could do a morning show. Okay. Right. Let's do it.

This fucking asshole. You know what? For fucking 10 years, all he did was bitchable. Why are we getting up sore? We could do this anytime. Could do this anytime. It's too early. Why are we?

And now you. I don't just get up early. If you weren't so lazy. Now this is in the Eastern Times. Your language is terrible. Why? Self-control fellas. It's Friday. The 2023 Jasper Pond Hockey Tournament,

going to be hosted at the beautiful Jasper Park Lodge. Join Pinder and myself and not Rhett. For the Friday night hot stove event with guest Frank, Sarah Valley coming all the way from Philadelphia. Air travel, you can get there. He's got a helicopter the whole way. Land on the frozen pond. Taking that bullet train direct from Philadelphia to the

Jasper Park Lodge. Sign up your team. Get involved. Be there the 27th to 29th weekend. C-Hawkey.com is the website, all the details and all that. And you can go to travel.jasper. What's going on in January? No reason why you shouldn't be in Jasper in January. Sweet. Well, if I was, I wouldn't play on your team.

It would be, you could warm up for the big All-Star game. Tesla's shoulders out. Get some laps in, some hot. Lops. Get myself injured. Have a great weekend, everybody. All right. Bender.

Self control. I'm a weekend. I'm bored. Self control. I tried the... It's grandpa's birthday coming up, so we're going to celebrate tonight with a little bowling. You'll be there in spirit with us.

It'll be bowlerama-esque. There's no way you could get a lane in Buffalo. I hope you booked a book in advance. On a Wednesday? Never get a lay. Never get a late. Who do you think you are? I am.

Huh? Have a great weekend, buddies. See ya. Oilers suck.
