See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're up and Adam Thursday. It's Barnburner, it's Boomer, it's Pinderer here in the Tower Chrysler Studios. We should speak quietly for all our American friends who will have headaches. They'll be very, they'll be very slow moving. They should be on the extra pickle juice and the double Caesars. That's what he is? Let's go. Yeah, yeah.

Double pickle juice. I don't know. I mean, extra, double Caesar for sure. Caesars, it seems like the Wolverine, our ops sales guy. It's becoming a bit of a go-to. Well, I mean, he's probably revitalized my love for the Caesar, a claimed Calgary invention. Yeah, I guess so. So have your Caesars, have your hydrate, have your water, and all of that.

And speaking of drunk Americans, there he is, ladies and gentlemen, Rhett Warner, the Rettster. Boy, he looks good today. He does. Everyone on the YouTube chat was saying, how drunk you were going to be, how hungover you were going to be, because you kind of laid it out there yesterday that you were going to tie one on. Is that Nona back there? You look all right.

Check out my hair. Like this hair, I did that last night. I haven't showered. I've had a couple hours of sleep and I haven't done anything to fix it. So it looks pretty good for... That's a move. 24 hours of...

It's lots of gel. You've got to get lots of gel in there. You look sharp. Who did you get blasted with last night? I know you were... The shoveler was looking like it wouldn't be her. Martin Biron was around and some stragglers, some other stragglers. One of the guys that helps at the alumni, Sabres alumni stuff.

I was doing sweet visits. So I was Kippetson with lots of locals. Another big dully for the Sabres last night. Yeah. Just went right through the towel and on it, two in a row. You know what? The rink was nutso for the jerseys. They did a big

on a big unveiling different walkout video or whatever the hell you call it pump up videos. So they had the old jerseys out and they looked sharp and everyone was wound up. Nineties music going all night. It was a party.

I was going to say, were they handing out Warner jerseys? Because I saw there were a few in the crowd and there's no way someone is still wearing Warner jerseys from the jersey. So you go into the closet and you're like, oh, Here's the old Buffalo head. Oh, 44. That was four. Was it a four?

Four. Come on, Ryan. I did see that's your co-host. Come on. But there were, you were signing autographs. People were coming up. Do they recognize you?

Do they remember you? The Rettster. Oh, yeah, because they've been garbage. Well, I guess they had the couple years there with Breer and Jerry and Miller where they were decent, but it's been forever, right? And the people buying tickets now are the kids. kids that used to watch the Rettster play.

Yeah. That's what it is. Okay, good. Yeah. So are you now a full... All right. Go ahead. What?

Well, there's lots of people like you, boom, that name their kids after. Yeah, all right. Not nice. Are you a full-blown member of the Sabres alumni now? Are you doing events? I saw you and Rod Ray were at an event. I put in my hundred bucks and I'm ready to go. so and I'm really good friends with the president, Mr. Ray, so I got all kinds of perks.

Like what? Can you give us a taste? Well, I just put in, well, I put in for tickets for December 23rd, get a bunch of tickets, maybe get into the alumni room. I could maybe ask, request a special order, some food that I like. Blue cheese sauce is awesome in Buffalo. That's a drink, so I got to get some of that. I go.

No, not blue cheese. So I guess... I did make nachos when I got home last night. Yeah. If we were to ask you or look to get your impressions on last night's Flames game in Kittsburg, how equipped would you be to be part of that conversation? Okay, he's a-okay. Zero percent.

Oh, zero. I thought that was done. No. I'm ready for some takes. He gave the A-O-K sign. with his fingers and he's okay. Take the floor. No.

Do you know, let's go through. Let's do yes or no. Thumbs up, thumbs down with Rhett Warner. Do you know who won the game? I can't see your thumb. We can't see. Thumbs up, all right. Do you know who is the goaltender for the flames?

Thumbs down. Okay, so we don't know who was in that. Do you know the final, so you know who won? Do you know the final score and regulation, overtime, shoot out how it all came? Thumbs up. All right. I know that it was a loss. I don't know how it was a loss.

So that's kind of a thumbs down then. Yeah, so that'd be a thumbs down. Yeah, 2-1 in a shootout. Evgeny Malkin gets the game winner. One goal in regulation. We're on a point street. You are, yeah. Do you know who scored the lone flames goal?

Oh, I certainly know. Okay. And he's locked up. That's a good. That was a good. If he was going to freeze, that would have been a good one. Yeah, it was, uh, Dylan, Bay back to back. He went, what, 16 games without a goal. Now he's got goals in back to back games.

He had season opener and then two games going last night. Yeah. So it'd be good if he, get going. Just get man going with him. That line again. Like that line. Flaar was in. Makes, what, 38 saves. And was saved by an atrocious offside missed by the officials. Like seven feet offside. I wrote that down. Has there been a more clear offside that you had to potentially that you had to use a challenge on is, is ridiculous. I guess the only thing you could be confused about is if the flames put it back in their zone, he's fine. But it is the poke from the penguin.

It's the only way I can make sense of it because he's literally like, he says half a zone in. He's a warner offside, like one of those wingspans, seven feet. It's not even close. So when does, it's another loss for Vladar. So when do we see him again? January? Is it a loss or is it a, hey, you got us a point? because I've sort of both feel true.

Yeah, I know. He was rather strong. And I think the way you felt about him after that second goal that eventually got disallowed went in, it's like, oh, boy, two on four versus at the end of the night. You're like, wow, there's a lot of big saves in there from old Vladie. He was. He was terrific. He made tons of great saves.

Carter on that breakaway, Ricard Raquel had nightmares. And we talk about it with Red, and I think Daryl's of the same mind. A back-to-back for a goal, he isn't crazy. What's probably crazy is the travel in the middle and a practice and then two games. Like if they're not going to do a skate on Saturday morning, it's a matinee in Carolina and they've got a matinee in Washington, you could roll Markstrom on both of these and give them an extended bit of time off or you could sleeve Vladar in one of the two. So I guess that's kind of the conversation point.

I think the way we used to think about it was back to back. You're splitting them obviously. Well, I don't know that is obvious anymore. We've seen them go Markstrom back to back already this year. What are they going to do, Redd? True. Two matinee games. No Friday. Two Saturday.

No skates. They'll play Markstrom. Markstrom back to back. He just had his day off. Starting to feel it. Talked about after the loss to Tampa that he need to be better. I feel for Vlodar. Because I feel like when he's been in, he's been very good. But yet his save percentage, although it'll help last night.

He'll shit the bet against Buffalo. That wasn't very good. Yeah, but the team wasn't very good against Buffalo that night. Right, right. I feel like his play has been better than his numbers would suggest. And again, last night makes, you're right, he stole them a point, but it's not a victory. So he wins and losses. And when it comes to Daryl, you know what Daryl wants. He wants wins. He likes points too, though.

Wants points, hates backups that don't win more than anything else. You could have just stopped after the winning part, maybe. He just hates backups. It could be. Who was the goal that started like 50 plus game or 100? going to need more than that. Yeah, that's probably true. We'll be that last.

We go back to Buffalo. Red is walking around. If you're watching on the YouTube's, again, you can subscribe to our new YouTube channel. We'll do some Ask Ret while we have you. You are at, tell us specifically where you are. You're in Buffalo, New York.

You've moved your family there permanently. Let's be honest. You're never coming back to Calgary. Can't leave the country. Some sort of issue with the border. Interesting stuff. So you are at Nona's house. Tell us about.

about Nona. Nona. Whatever. Nonas, not Nana. All right. Paza? Is it Pazaar? Or is it pizza?

What do you mean? But by all means. So go ahead. Tell us what you're doing today. I'm going to eat. I'm going to stuff my face. The fact that I'm on this phone call or podcasting with you dopes has eliminated my chance at the good chair to watch the football game. So I'm screwed for that.

Yeah. So I'll have to eat and at half time rush to get home. There's only one can here. So it gets backed up and I want to get home and get on my couch and relax and get back in the sauce. So there's your update on. You can't walk you through nonas? Easy chair, food, shitter, booze. He's hit the four pillars of the day there.

That's a great update. It's Thanksgiving. That's all you do. You can't do that on the road? Only home court dumps or what? Stage fright? It's only one here and there's like 30 people around. See, I thought you were going to be.

It's not a friend. I thought you'd be there all day. It was a get there and stay and visit and then dinner and then the evening. But your bowels will restrict you from that. You like hanging out with your relatives that much that you want to get jammed into a thousand square foot home and just. You move there. You're the one that moved there. I still kind of blows my mind.

But nonetheless. Let's do... Don't live in the house, do I? Fair enough. Hope Street property management. With Hope Street, you won't use your own valuable time to find or manage tenants. Earn a premium rental rate, sleep easy, knowing that your property is safe and protected. You can book a virtual meeting online, let Hope Street get to work for you.

They are Canada's property manager of the year, locations in Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary. Hopestreet.com. Oddly, after yesterday's conclusion to the show, we were saying, How long was Redd on the show yesterday? Not long. Yeah. But came in, kicked the door in, a legendary story and walked out. And oddly, a bunch of questions have come in in the last 24 hours. We're trying to get out of here early.

And then Rhett's like, oh, I just got a quick story for you. And then like five minutes later, like we have abdominal pain. We've been laughing so hard, lying on the floor. It was not throwing. It was gross. It was phenomenal stuff. Just cringing. Long story short.

you and Regear tanked up, come home from a trip. Two plus days of drinking, travel issues, planes, trains, automobiles, ice storms, and then back on the booze, don't stop the train. And then just so we can, for people that didn't see or listen to the show yesterday, the end of the, so you guys come back from a trip, you guys are hammered, just kind of quickly run us through how this story ends. Yeah, your phone. Start again. Start again.

Your phone's shit. Your signal's shit. You're breaking it out. I had to go. We had to go connect through Winnipeg to get to Saskatoon from Toronto. And we were backed up, sat on air tarmac for an hour. So we called our buddy Burke's stomach to get his private jet to Winnipeg. And then so the poor other saps had to fly to Regina and then bus to Saskatoon.

We walked across the hallway and got on our jet. had her stock full of booze. We wouldn't let the jet land until all the booze was drank. And then we proceeded to drink all night at a bar and ended up at a buddy's house where we kept drinking. And my buddy at about five in the morning remembered that he was taking, he had bought the turkey for Christmas dinner. And it wasn't thawed. So. Morning of the 24th.

That's true. Our brilliance. Yeah, it was the 24th. And in our brilliance, we decided to toss that bad boy right into the hot tub. should be good to go in no time. Was it good to go in no time? We don't know how that... I didn't eat the damn thing.

There's no way. There's still living. So it wasn't that. Okay. So hashtag ask Rette. Do consult a physician before any medical and or cooking advice is stalled out by Rett that you...

Ask Rett at Flamesnation.C.A. is the website. Let's get into it. Rhett, did they at least wrap the turkey in a bag, or was it just bald turkey with the jets on? I think it was in one of the, I think it was in the, the suction, whatever, the, they, oh, vacuum vacuum.

It was, yeah, vacuum sealed, whatever, right? We didn't take it out of the plastic with your, that's a little better. Did they change out the hot tub water? before it was used again by humans. I don't know. My story ended at about 9 o'clock in the morning when I had Doug come pick me up. You would have been a puddle.

Holy shit. Hey, Red, could you have just used the hot tub to make turkey soup? Because that would be what you do. You would take the turkey and, right? Just let it bubble away for a few hours. That's good soup. Hopefully it didn't waste it. Yes.

Yeah. That is so gross. Yeah, has news traveled back to those people that unknowingly ate the hot tub turkey? Did they ever find out? Did they know in the end? I found out yesterday. I'll tell you that. I don't know.

Cruzier is a good bud. I haven't talked to him recently. I don't know. I never asked him if he let on that the turkey had been based in the hot tub. I'm not sure. I don't know if we talked about this on the show, but this came in at Ascorette at Flamesnation.ca. Have you ever had the famous Rochester garbage plates? That's at dinosaur barbecue I was talking about, the garbage plate.

So I couldn't remember, did you have it? Or have you, we just, we know of it. Yeah, no, I was in Rochester and Pinder actually asked if I went there and I didn't, but I have heard of the place, but I've never been there. Hey, Rhett, have you thought about moving to an acreage and then raising your own beef and chicken, etc? Because we've heard obviously about... He's moaning about the meat down.

massive bills that you have when you go to Bonton to get your meat and how awful the quality is down there. And you're going to be staying there. You're renting a house right now. You're going to have to buy a place. Are you going to get into some livestock, some chickens and beef and whatnot? Boom, boom, used to snap on a weekly basis because I would drift off sometimes during the show. And typically I was looking at acreages and land around North America that I should probably move. to and self-sustaining such an asshole right and what do you think red what do you mean but the goalies

oh uh so i'm looking at some land by prittis turner valley's nice eh Wyoming he was like in a wyoming for a while so yeah yeah i have thought about an acreage so is it comparable price wise in around Buffalo or are you going to get a wicked deal wicked awesome deal there oh be deadly cheap as chips here yeah yeah i bet really cheap but it's not as didn't you say it's not as cheap as maybe you might think or is it that it was just more than no it's all it's good yeah land is way cheaper than the old skirts of calgary so how's your canadian dollar holding up not so good the inflation is uh the exchange yeah I said. Inflation's bad, but the exchange really kicks you in the nerds.

Yeah. And the turkey inflation. We had that on the show the other day. 73% increase in Turkey costs this year. Not 72, not 74, 73. Is that you've done the math? Is that your extensive research? The headline there is red for sure.

Listen, I'm on top of it. Hey, Rettster. with the decent weather here doing some outdoor cooking. I think you're doing some outdoor. Have you ever worked with the Blackstone flat top and cooked steaks on? Yes. I have. That flat,

the Blackstone is what you jerks are making fun of me. That's what I was cooking on the other day. That flopjack thing? I sent the picture of you guys. Yeah. A little stampede breakfast grill? Get out of here. That's what the blackstone is.

It's good for some things. It's not ideal. It's not, it's another one of those things. You've got to have the big smoker. You've got to have just a normal grill. And then you've got to have the black stone or whatever the hell it's called. Because they all do certain things better than the other. I feel like, yeah, you get a burger on that thing.

That'd be nails, but the steak, I don't know what that. But you know what? You do see sometimes that. that they will, obviously not the besteka or whatever it is at Mercado, but some places they do, sear it on the flat top, and then it goes into the convection. So that you're not singeing the... Oh, that's the best way to cook it.

Yeah. That's the best way. Absolutely the best way to cook a steak. It's the best. We always, oh, let's grill a steak. Let's grill a steak. Cook it. And the oven has been.

better. Let's see here what we've got. Anything on the, uh, did you take your golf cart? We did that one before, but have you ever, have you ever had the golf cart when you were living in Florida? Because Kachuk had his. You never did, right? Now, I was focused on hockey and I wasn't rich, so I couldn't afford a golf cart. Right. It was probably good for today. There's only so many hot tub turkey stories that I can get into. It's so frigging. It's an all-timer. I didn't know. heard that. There's a lot of things that we'll do again because they're fun and not everyone has been around for the first

two, three laps through, but that was new to me. Very impressive. Well, and I knew you had to run Pinder, but it was so relevant with Kelsey Snow and the turkey situation. I had to bring it up. I couldn't let it how often is that going to come into your life? Yeah, and don't, before you forget,

rip it out. There you go. Good story. Did you watch any of that soccer game yesterday or no? Did you guys, I watched the whole soccer a game. I knew when he missed, or they stopped that penalty shot, we were in trouble. They looked so good. It's like, just need one bouncer on the net, gentlemen. They look really good. Yeah, that's okay. That'll be okay. Belgium, good squad. Did you see McKee and Beron were ignorant about my number four?

I tweeted it out. I was being nice. Like, you guys give me crap about not tweeting. I do it. And then Beron and McKee absolutely smack me around on social media. I don't take a look at this. bunch of pusses. Was it, uh, ignorant. Ignorant. Ignorant comments. Is that right? You don't deserve that. You guys are part of the alumni. I don't deserve.

You're alumni, brothers. Treat each other right. We'll wrap things up there for Hope Street. A wash in forgeers. A wash and forge. Hopestreet.com. Canada's property manager of the year. Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary, they, uh, they know what they're doing. Property of the year. Come on. You're no better job than them? No. You're not going to do it. Can I walk you through the tweets?

You can, yeah. So Rhett has tweeted two pictures of Warner jerseys and says, The Key Bank Center is a wash in number four jerseys. And there's Jay McKee right in the replies. Must have been a garage sale nearby. Jeez. And then Rhett responds, hurtful, very hurtful. Good stuff.

The goathead. They looked good last night. They looked sharp. You guys want to see. Nona's house. Yes, going to say. On a quick tour.

Yeah, give us the tour again. This is not great if you're listening on the podcast, but if you're on the YouTube's and by all means, subscribe to our YouTube channel. So you'll more about that in a little bit.

So there, let's take a look. This should be good. Now, hang on. Hang on. I might have to flip the phone here. Yeah, you will. Yeah.

There, you can just walk it through facing the other way if need be. Is that one? Then you give it the, the uh ground yeah give her this spin okay as good as you look today just manually turn it we can figure that out this is where we might lose them sadly oh there you go there we go that's the yes that looks good how's the snow how's the snow there's no snow there's no

not much just a a skiff no snow is that an outdoor that's an above ground pool That's fantastic. Oh, there it is. Slow down. I'm drunk watching. Work the camera here. Chain like fence.

The nation capital of above ground pools. That's rednecking, right? I mean, that's pretty good rednecking. Here's grandma's car. All right. Here's grandma's car.

Known as car. I see a little thing here. She's 90-something, so I don't know. Got a whiskey dent there. Tell her to sober up before she heads out. Someone through a bottle? What are you talking about?

We're going in. Buckle up. My husband built this house. Tell your kids not to swear. We're live. Oh, we're losing. Oh, yeah. You can't jump on the Wi-Fi.

There's no cooking. This is underwhelming. This is about the same as listening on the podcast, actually. There's the oven. Okay. What? a lot of seats in there. Can you see anything? I can't

hear you. Decent, decent spread there. Holy moly. Is that big lug in yours? Some of the people. No. How's the gravy? Are the bills winning? Oh. Don't put that. Turn it. We're going to get flagged.

Seven rip. Yeah. Not good. Not good, boys. Not good. Hey? Not good. Well, that's, in There's the shovel. Shoveler. That's kind of what I expected. All right, there's the gravy.

So what's in the back there? Is that cabbage rolls? What was going on back there? Whoa, whoa, go back. No, they're up.

They don't do cabbage rolls. I know. What's in the back right burner? Noodles, corn. Noodles. Spaghetti. Okay, because you went through the first time

and the video was broken up. We couldn't see anything. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Stuffing? Some stuffing. Yeah. Lots of stuffing.

Yeah. Good work, Nona. We're live here on the internet, Grandma. Give her a big smooch, right? Come on, get in there. Plant one right on her. That's probably not. All right.

Happy Thanksgiving, Red. Pills, that's all the numbers to cover there. It's going to submit this football picks for tomorrow, right? I guess so. It's never boring. It's quite a world, right? I'm glad we have the technology to almost do that. That was very exciting.

Yeah, to almost pull that off. It's good we tested and everything. I don't let Nona has the internet, but if she did, well, that's what you said. Jump on the Wi-Fi, you're fine. Do you think she has Wi-Fi? I don't know. I don't know how women in their mid-90s in Buffalo roll with their internet settings.

Yeah. We have a special treat coming up in a moment, but I do want to get through a couple of things. A couple of things here very quickly. Two days ago, two days ago, made a special gift. jaunt. You know we've been talking about Vena Nova. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. One of our new sponsors on board, Vena Nova, Calgary's lab-grown

diamond specialists. I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. We got them on board. That's what you're saying. He's got to go and check this out. I want to go check this out. So you go the plate, he's got two stores, but this one specifically is only and all lab-grown diamonds. He's a

gemologist. Jamologist. Yeah. Are you a podcast? No, so he's, this is. That's what he does. So I thought he's in the back. I said, where's the,

the Bunsen burners and the bakers? Are you whipping these things up on the back? And he's like, no, you, like, no, there's, watching breaking bad. There's a lab and they built, they build it in big, they're made in the big,

you know, chunks. And then that's like, you treat it just like a regular diamond. That's how they do it. But the, the composition and the makeup, in a lot of cases,

is actually better than real diamonds. The imperfections, right? And I said, so if you take one of your little, you know, eye goggle things there and you start looking, are you going to be able to tell the difference? He says in a lot of cases, no. If there's imperfections in the real diamond, then you'll be able to, so go figure. Yeah. Better than a real diamond.

Yeah. Crazy. And about 80% of the price of regular diamonds. It sounds like by my math, at least 30% savings. That's about 30%. No, it's 80% savings. You're paying, like you're paying 30% of what you would pay for a year. Starts at the math.

I know, this is not a good idea. We could do this a lot of ways without numbers. So I was, I mean, I was totally impressed. He kind of walked us through. He brought out earrings and necklaces and,

I shouldn't say anything just in case she's watching. Maybe the Wolverine's, uh, better half is going to get a nice little, uh, lab grown diamond for Christmas. But anyway, we didn't ruin that.

Specifically, and I'm led to believe, just was saying, this time a year is big for engagements. Yeah, I believe that. Right? Yeah. If you're looking for an engagement ring, this is the way to go. You are going to get something far more impressive, far greater in carrot size.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's the size and the cost and the, basically, the perfection of it. Yeah, the clarity, all that. It's crazy. Amazing. So there you go. Stephen Avenue Place, which took me a, while to find, by the way. You?

Yeah, I don't. Downtown, eh. 2.25, 7th Avenue, Southwest. So it's Stephen Avenue Place on the second level. Do they have buildings of second levels in Roblin or no? Easy to find. Go and see Justin. Go and see the people there. I just trying to help. I know you are. You're always such a great help.

That's right. If it's something custom you want done, obviously it's going to take a while, but that's the thing with the lab grown. I want it this shape. I want it this size. You can do that. Or you can go in there. They got tons of stuff. They know what they're doing.

Amazing. I'm excited to check it out. Pretty impressed. Pretty impressed. And if you're choosing to get married, I mean, for starters, don't. But if you're actually going to go through with it, go and see them at Viena Nova. Calgary's lab-grown diamond special. Now, you said a lot of people get engaged this time of year.

What time of year did you get engaged? I don't know. Were you hammered or? God, I don't remember. I have a hard enough time remembering the day that I got married. let alone when I proposed or what time of year. It's a trick one, right? Because it's like you got to supposed to remember the wedding anniversary.

Now people are asking about engagement dates and stuff. Oh, my God. It's really good. A lot of things you have to remember. So before you get into your thing here, we got to bring in, we knew, we knew Rhett was going to be no good today. Yeah. I mean, he was okay.

I guess the technology wasn't great today. I guess the amount of time he's giving the show is no good. But he packed a punch just like yesterday with the thawing of a turkey and a hot tub. Yeah. So out of the hour, let's just call it an hour 45 of show length. What do you think his clip is at as far as an average so far? The last two days have been really low. He's expected minutes per 60, not good at all.

Is that a stat? Very low. He's XP60. Yeah. Not high. And the barn burner. Statistical categories. But I was going to say friend of the show, but the show's new, so he's not really

friend of the show. But a long time people are going to know the face, the voice, the name. an icon on the Calgary Sports Media Landscape. Well, yeah. The one and only Rob Kerr joins us right now on Barnburn. Robert? Gentlemen, where am I? Like, I'm downstairs somewhere.

I can't see anything. Are you guys good? Is everybody okay? You're not downstairs. We're in the, this is the penthouse. This. This. This is the penthouse.

You spent all the money on the other side of the table. and over here, we're kind of slumming. We have Tommy on the other day. We had Conroy. We have guests come in Bo Levi. And all people, because of, oh, you need something up in the background. Working at it. The background looks like shit.

Why don't you put some stuff up behind the guests? They're right. It's possible. You ever considered that the feedback you're getting might actually be constructive in something you could use. Yeah. It's probably not wrong. Can I just start here?

Let me just start here. Now we can leave. This show hasn't changed. No, it has fucking changed. Oh, whoa. Thing. It has. It has.

Because of that. But you've managed to somehow take what you perfected on radio and squeeze it into the internets and the series of tubes and the YouTube's and the Twitters and stuff and you've brought it over here. The last half hour of

Nona's house with the above ground pools and the whiskey dent. I've learned so much. That's why people watch this and listen to this to be entertained. Little do they know they're actually going to be educated. So you were doing the public service. The fact that you have incredible sponsors the way you do, that's one thing. But it just boggles my mind that the province hasn't actually dipped their toe into this and given you money

because you're actually making us better people by educating us on whiskey dents. Yeah. And you know what? I forgot to do this earlier in the show because we got Red in and I figured while we've got them, we better do Ask Red. While we're talking about the province, yeah, should be giving us money. Yes. Have you ever been to Jasper? Have I ever been to Jasper? Have you ever been? Uh, no, tell me about it. What's, where is it? You can answer that. Oh, I don't know. Do you often go? No, I'm located closer to this national park, so I go to this one. But I have been to Jasper. Jasper Park Lodge is among my favorite places to be. I think it's a little bit quieter than BAMF is.

Totally. Same awesome mountains. The same awesome mountains. Actually, I used to work an hour away from Jasper, so I'd pop into Jasper all the time when I was in Hinton. Hinton? Yes. What were you doing there?

Were you? I was working as a Forest Guardian, running a couple of campgrounds. So, yeah. Yeah. And actually, at my one summer, I was the, Forest Guardian Rock Lake, which was a provincial park at the north end of Jasper Park. Cool.

Yeah. So I'm glad you asked. Thank you. Jasper. Travel Jasper. Were you? Oilers Nation. Flames Nation.

Yep. We've collaborated. And we're going to do some interesting, fun stuff. I know in January. I've been here some whisper. Yeah. It's going to be. That's probably going to be something like that.

Then you want to go to L&W pizza. Okay. Which is the home of the best mountain pizza you'll ever have. Is that right? Assuming it's still open. Well, that's a free one. Now for the one that's paid, you can get right now online the escape card. Rules?

At Marmot Basin. I had to go on. I went to their website to check to make sure that this was true. It says here, half price lift tickets only $89 plus tax. Do you know who loves Marmot Basin? Who's Mark Specter? I don't know who that is. He's a guy from sports.

He got his book up there. Sportsnet, what's that? He's got it. One of those guys that tweets all the time about the Oilers getting screwed by officials. That guy, but he loves Marmot Basin. Half-price lift tickets with the Marmot escape card, no blackout dates,

all season, and up to 50% lift tickets at partner ski areas, up to 30% off accommodation in Jasper. Jasper's not screwing around. They want you to get up there. Why wouldn't you? You can see the website. there. Jasper.com travel slash escape for more information. We're going to tell you about the cabins

and how you can maybe get up there for Christmas and enjoy the holidays, something beautiful. If the weather's right and you just can time it right after snow, there is no better drive in the entire world than the Banff Park. Icefields Parkway, thank you. And I think that's part of what this is about. Is it further than, well, of course it is. But I've lived here for a long. I've never made the drive. I've never done that. I've never been to jazz. In the winter, it's something else.

It's absolutely something else. Yeah. So there go. World class. Jaspper. Travel slash escape. Get on that. We'll tell you next week.

I'm excited to learn more about Jasper here. It's been a while since I've been up there. I think at camp I canoed from there to Rocky Mountain House, which took a few days. That was about it. I think you might be. A little cold for canoeing. You don't even know it. I bet you might go to Jasper sooner than you think.

I'm very hopeful. Friends of the program going. Friends. Friends and enemies. friends of the program going. So what are you doing here? What am I doing here? Yeah, you lost? What happened?

So I'm walking around Mardaloo and looking for a hair, like some place to get my hair done. Yeah. And I found a salon. And then there was a door and I went, well, this looks like the wrong door, but I'll take it. And I went up the stairs and lo and behold, here we are. What a coincidence. You're looking for hair? You came to the head face?

Absolutely. What an incredible studio. Like this is, like with this thing. Can I take people for a tour? Aside from the shitty wall behind you, which is the only thing people seem to care about. Oh, let it go, son. You'll be okay. We got big screens.

We got couches. We got tech. Nobody sees that. They look at me and go, oh, look, it's, what's his name? The bad actor who got drunk and they arrested him and they're taking mugshots of them. That's what it looks like. I'm at the mugshot. You need like the height thing here.

So people go, that's the guy that stole my purse. It's in the works. Six three. Is that about right? Six three. That's what I figured. Exactly. I don't need that.

Everyone knows. You're famous. Everybody knows something. Speaking of haircuts, one of the last times I saw you on the internet, you were getting your hair. Yeah, the hard way. Oh, dear.

The hard way. Rob, my kids were there. Were they? They said some poor man was getting his head shaved after getting knocked out in a ring. Wicked DDD, DDD. DDT, yeah. And you were out cold.

Out cold. And then while I was out cold, some shenanigans happened, and I lost most of my hair. They shaved your head. I know. That was embarrassing. Where was...

For who? One person I could think of. Wait, it's you. Yes, that's right. And where was your crew, your club? The CDC. Oh, the cold ads club. I would have thought they would have been on hand to back you up.

Well, two of them got knocked out. The rest of them were. Changing diapers? Well, they were in the back celebrating. They were celebrating. Wow, that's what happened. The same job. Premature celebration.

Oh. And I got left in the ring and Andy Anderson, you know, unbeknownst to me, kicks me in the gut, gives me a big DDT, right on top of a championship bell. I don't know if you guys have had that happen to you. Not, but it's been a while. I don't like that. Yeah. And the next thing I know, Brent Gibbs, friend of the program.

Yeah, yeah. And J.K., the two other founding members of the CDC were waking me up. And it just, you could feel the coolness on my scalp. Coolness. And the CDC is cool. I mean, that would make sense. Cool dad's club. Leg breakers, heartbreakers, get off my lawn.

It says it all, doesn't it? That's right. Wait for our new one, which is dad bods with big rods. That's our new T-shirt coming out. No, like fly-fishing and, you know, and it would be available on the... It's on Nationgear.C.A. Hey.

Get yours today, maybe I'll get those going. Yeah, probably the biggest accomplishment in my career, I would say, was regaining the championship for Chris Steele and with the CDC. Now, it didn't end the way we wanted, but it was a heck of a run for sure. You're, because I remember at the time, you were middle management. Oh, yeah, no, I'm middle management. You shouldn't be involved in those sorts of shenanigans. You wouldn't think.

In my age, no, you wouldn't think. I thought you were administering this match. No, no, no, no, no, no. I somehow got looped into it, you know, hogtide. I just trying to mind my own business as a middle manager would, right? But here we are. There we were. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Yeah. So, and we're going to get into the Pinder report here shortly, because I know you got a whack of stuff to do. We got our Betway, bets in and that. It's 18 after 11. We got lots time. We got time. So what is...

Rob can hang and watch some stuff with us. There will be people and it's presumptuous. There will be people that will not know. Rob was a long time broadcaster, radio guy. Yes. 02.03? Up here?

You came to Calgary? May 5th of 2003. And... Just in time for the run. My God. You think about that timing? Yeah. So I remember that spring.

The flame season ended on a pretty decent run and they sold out their last 10 games of the season. Daryl had come in mid-year. And there was hope. Yeah. For the first time, There was hope in so long. And then the next year it was Mika in and the incredible run.

You timed it nicely right. I did. Actually, the first thing I did covering the flames because I was brought in to do the, you know, the host Flames hockey and the hockey show, which was one hour, one hour, you know, supposed to be one hour. Anyway, yeah. I was up with Father David Bauer and the Flames had their spring camp there, which featured Dennis Wideman, Mark Giordano, and,

Richie Reggear. The wide dog was here on a prospect camp. Yeah, and he left. He left in the middle of it, went side in St. Louis. And then Gio got the world famous three-way contract, which you can't get anymore. The E.A.N. Right? Yeah. You know, so, and the rest, as they say, it was history. I mean, that, you know, that station was built on the back of Joe Sports and Kevin also in the early parts. And yeah, to your point, like Mika gets acquired. I was just mentioned this was, like, I think it was last week was one of the, the anniversary. of it, right? So whatever that was, 18, 18 years ago. And, you know, a lot's made of that trade. At the time, I don't think it's what everybody makes it out to be now. God, it's like, you know,

it was like, a second round of her guy I've never heard of? Like, what the hell is doing? All I remember is, why did they get a Russian goalie? What? Kipersaw. He's a, no. Not anyway. I was one of the first media guys to meet Kip Kip.osov because the next day was the three-star. luncheon. At the time, they were still doing the Molson Cup three star luncheons. So Mika got sat at a table with me and like, you know, the table that extra people. So there's probably two other people there. We're sitting at the back. The people that don't matter. That's right. And we're talking and he's asking me, what is the Grey Cup? Because the Grey Cup was just about to come up and we got talking and you have family and you know, all this. And then he played against Montreal. He won 2,

won and people were like, wow. And that's, that's when you say the rest is history. You got hurt over Christmas, the great story about, you know, about noodles playing with the broken sternum. Yeah. You know, because Turuk was out. It was all kinds of craziness. And, you know, to that end, when Mika was out, it was the great, this is when I learned one of the big lessons in overtime, because Roman Turuk got these games. And I think he went three and four. And when he won, like, When Kipersoft comes back, Turc's got to have the net. Like Kippersoft's got to backup.

Over time the radio show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry about that. And then when he lost, like, get that bum out of town. You know, bring up whoever, it doesn't matter at this point. Bring up Kron for all, who cares.

But yeah, it wasn't good. And then Kippersoft came back. And then if you remember, you were talking about backup goalies and Daryl hating backup goalies. Well, I think he played Turk, played four games the rest of the way. One of them all.

One was a two nothing shut out in St. Louis. People were calling him. He's got to get some time. They need, you know, they get into the series of games, Vancouver. They lose game one. Better turn it over to Roman Turek.

You know, there's always that overcoaching and panicking going on. But what a, yeah. Sounds like that show, yeah. Wild overreaction to everything. Thank God. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I'd like to think we were social media before social media, right? That's fair. Yeah. So, yeah. And then you were there for forever. How many years in them?

2011 went over to Sportsnet, ill-fated for three years, and then came back in 2014 and retired in 2018. Yeah. Yeah. And of course, the highlight. Yeah. Kermann. Oh, no.

That's right. Jan Arden? Jan Arden? I've told. Of all the things I'll miss. All the things. We were doing a show. This is years after you and I were doing afternoons.

Rob and I were after, I was his co-host on the afternoon show. That was my first. That was my first introduction into Calgary, was to come and work with Rob. But thankfully, you stay. Yeah, the Sutter Fund Golf Tournament in Red Deer, you jump in, you pinch hit because somebody was away.

So we're doing the show in Red Deer. And then you went straight. Yep. To the office back in Calgary at 960. Straight. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. And quit.

It had nothing to do with you. Well, it doesn't really line up that way, Rob. I mean, you could certainly say that. That's very polite of you. No, I'll tell you exactly. One taste and it was like, it's like the moment it touched your lips,

it was I need to go. Because he keeps saying that it was just coincidental. He is saying, no, no, no, no. I listen, I'll tell you exactly why, and I call it retiring in 2018. I'll tell you two reasons I retired in 2018. The first reason was I was tired of Sportsnet treating it as a promotional platform and not as radio.

Really got my goat that we were running ads on my show for Tim and Sid. So turn this radio off, turn your TV on and go watch those guys in Toronto. That was bullshit. Now, that's their choice. And you know what? There's the swear jar. And I'm not allowed to say that. You're good.

It's for the kids. Seltreys Ruger donates the kids sport every time we swear. Bullshit. I know, right? It's crazy. Wow. Got to hit the thing. One more there for us.

Thank you. I think he's. getting back. Because you know I'm a board member for kids. In terms of the Tim and Sid and I don't speak out of school, but it was the same with Bob McCowan. 100%. That drove him crazy.

Yeah. That there would be promotion for same company, direct competitor for that airtime. Same market for him there too. Right, right? That's even more infuriating. They gave Ryan a shot for a couple weeks in Toronto. They gave, they took, you know,

they took Walker over there, but there was no development. Well, and Walker got that chance because the other network wanted them. Right. But you know what I mean? Like, they weren't running it to promote radio. They were to grow radio. Which is fine. 100%.

You spend all that money on the Jays and all that money on the NHL. You need to do that. But it wasn't fun anymore. It was like I'm competing against these ads running. And it wasn't Kelly Kirsch. It wasn't you guys. It was just that's the way Rogers runs their business. That's okay.

So that and I think when I walked into the Rockets office and he looked at me and he said, you know, I want you to be our fantasy football expert. And I said, and I said, you mean have somebody on to talk about fantasy football? He goes, no, I want people to tune in to you and hear you on Mondays. Who does Rob Kerr think I should start? And who do you think I should sit? And I'm like, okay, great. I know who you.

Because we had Rob and our fantasy football for one year. And then you guys hit it. Like, I never knew there was fantasy football for five years. You guys had this underground fantasy football that nobody talked about. Here comes Rob. Don't talk about fantasy football. Pat, be quiet. Corposes on.

buy weeks and that behavior was not tolerated by the commissioner, but you were new to it. No, I wasn't new to it. I drafted good people. To me, if you want people on your team, you want good citizens, people on buys, people who are good in the locker room, which does not work in fantasy. That's right. Yeah, but those are the things that happen. You go to a, your boss would go to a seminar, and this isn't the shot at Kirsch. It isn't. I'm going to Phoenix to a seminar. Fantasy football is big. Come back. We need to do fantasy football. Rob, you're going to do our fantasy.

Right? It's just like, I just think, yeah, but I think. Gambling is big. People gamble. Let's talk about gambling. Rob, you're going to be our gambling expert. In fairness to Kirsh, I would say in fairness to Sportsnet, 2018 is when the U.S. government legalized sports betting.

So we were just knew we were on the cusp of legalized betting coming. They read the tea leaves. They knew where it was going. And they were trying to get everybody aligned. And that's, that's cool. But that's not. me and it wasn't me and so I knew where it was going I didn't want to be some place where I had to promote somebody else against myself so it was time for me to move on and and I jumped ship and I

went back to the private sector well you know went back into sports business and ran a team for a while and and I like that part too but um you know it's a different world the the world has changed in the last you know 10 years last year it's changed right so yeah here we are you You kidding me? Right? Like, this, this, to me, is the future. Like, this to me is, you know,

it's the present. No, but I think it's the future too. I do. I think it's the next step. Dan Patrick was not the first, but I think when Dan Patrick expanded and put all the cameras in and made it a TV show,

made a radio show, a TV, listen, don't try to say Dan Patrick, because I know what you're trying to do here. You're trying to tell me that Dan Patrick was the first guy to do it, and I'm telling you, you're wrong. The sports babe was the first sports babe, was the first sports talk radio show.

I remember being on TV, but it was one camera. It was all of this. Patrick changed that. And then I think the internet, you know, again, where do you choose to consume your information? Where do you choose to consume your programming? You know, yes, I can opine about the death of AM radio and I miss it dearly, but that doesn't change the fact.

You go where the people go. And this is where the people are. And I think it's really cool. I think it is really cool. So you are in, and I don't think you might be saying it, you are in a spot in your life where you're looking for something to do. There's been a pivot in your professional life. What stirs your drink right now?

Well, that's, it's interesting. So I burnt myself out. So I know, you know, mental health month is January and let's talk at all that. You want to know what mental health looks like. you want to know what burnout looks like, you're looking at it. I burnt myself out. I did. Nobody else.

I chose to prioritize work over my family. I chose prioritize work over my health. I just got to a point where I was not in a good place anymore and needed help. Took me a long time to reach out and ask for help. And then when I did, through my doctor, through my family, I got the help. I got the counseling. I got the medication. I got back to a place where I feel good.

I owe an apology to my coworkers, my friends, present company included, my family, because for the last 18 months coming out of COVID, I wasn't me, and I wasn't doing a good job, and I was just not healthy. So thank you for giving me the opportunity, which you didn't know where you're going to give me, but I want to take this opportunity because I'm hoping and praying somebody out there who's been driving themselves, pushing themselves, trying to keep ahead of it, hears this and goes, nobody came out of that last two years unscathed. And if you need help, ask for help.

This is somebody who's telling you, mental health issues affect all of us, especially men, and you're not a coward, you're not nothing. You just have to make that first step, made that first step. So now I'm finally starting to come around. I'm, you know, the tea is sweeter, the show is brighter, the friends are friendlier, the whole nine yards. Right now, I'm looking at a bunch of different things. You know, I'm repping my superheroes, hero stuff. That's my passion.

Isn't that the best stuff? It is. It is. Not make you feel one. Oh, my gosh. The superheroes program, we're going to Ottawa in March. We're taking a team to a tournament with the Capital City Condors in Ottawa in March, which will be really cool, which got knocked, kind of knocked out first originally.

by COVID, so we're finally going. But, you know, we've got a little teddy bear game coming against. We're going to play the North Stars from the Northeast, our friends there. And we've got a game coming up on the fourth at Max Bell 2, which everybody's welcome to come to. And they're on a hell of a tear. I see online, this hero's team, they're beating some real impressive hockey teams. I got to tell you.

It's good coaching. But for those who don't know, it's a program for kids with autism and, you know, down syndrome and we have kids with physical disabilities, you know, cerebral palsy, and we have ways of getting them on the ice. And for the last five years, we're now up to nine teams in Western Canada, three in Calgary. And it's, it's, Kevin Hodgson's just a saint, and he's the one that runs heroes. But I, I go out every Sunday and help. And, you know, well, we didn't know, we didn't know. And we thought we were going to do a program for kids. It's for families. It's, you know, families that work with kids with special needs go through a lot of things, you know, twins aren't special, needs, Ryan,

but you know what it's like as a parent. No, but you know what I mean? Like, you know, kids can really take up a lot of your time and we didn't realize that just a one hour break a week where a parent can go sit in the stands and doesn't have to worry about their kid, doesn't have to do anything, how important that was. So from that standpoint, that's what drives me. What am I, boom, I've got lots of friends, I got lots of, I don't know. I don't know. I said to you, I guess, and it took me a couple days to get back to you. Apologies. But, I mean, it's two things. A lot of times when you have issues or when issues come up, it's because of bad behavior or poor habits or that sort of thing. And with you, and with, I think, so many people, you got to that place because your work ethic is so strong and because you care. And you could, sure, I can do that. Yeah, I can do a little bit more. You keep giving and. giving and doing more and doing more. And your heart is absolutely in the right place.

And everybody is benefiting from your behavior except you. And it takes a toll on you. And I'm not putting myself in your shoes, but I, I was in kind of like people, oh, so what happened? I just couldn't get up at three anymore. My kids were, they could see that I was a different guy. Yes. When I had sleep and that, and same thing.

You go talk to somebody. You get help. and it can change everything. And somebody will benefit from that. Yeah. Because the one day I said it was my first time going back to the dome in the press box for in about 10 years because I was so embarrassed. I'd been gone for so long. And that first game, a guy that works at the dome walked up.

He said, hey, I just want to say what I saw the show and what you said resonated with me 100%. Thanks for saying that. It's what I want to do with this thing, you know, down the road. we were talking about charity endeavors that each that's close and near and dear to all of our hearts. And I think that, man, mental health, it's, I agree with you. If you had something wrong with your liver, you'd sit around with your buddies, like, oh, my friggin' livers acting up again. I'm taking pills.

I got to get to look. But we'd never say it. And I do feel hypocritical because you sit here and you talk about it. And I've never really come out with my full story or done that. And I hope to be able to do it. But it's real. And it's not, like you say, it's not an embarrassment. That remove the stigma thing.

I'm happy, I'm happy for you because you are a different guy. Yeah. And, and, because you were, you got there because you worked. So there was nothing you wouldn't do. Ask her and he'll do it. Yeah. Yeah. And there's no, there's no shame in it.

No, there isn't any shame in it, but, but it's also not healthy because it's easy to put yourself last. It's the easiest thing. Right. But you don't treat people the right way. You don't return calls. You don't, you know, you're edgy. You're all of those things.

And that's what I became is I became this big ball of nerves. And you put so much effort into trying to survive every day. But by the time you get home, you're useless to your family. And that's the biggest thing. My family has endured so much. And this last, you know, four or five months has been so incredible. So, like, you're rediscovering them again. And you're around and you're building and you're doing things for them.

So, no, it's, I'm good. Like, I'm in a good, really good place and I'm excited. I've got, you know, some real opportunities. And I'm enjoying this. Like, I'm enjoying watching you guys. I'm enjoying watching Andrew. You know, I think in the past, you're always negative, right? Like, you're mad at everybody.

I'm not mad. Like, this is cool. Like, what you guys do here and, you know, watching retro come on and do his things more? That's fun, man, like, it's fun. And, you know, I feel for the guys that are, you know, still on the other side. I hope that turns around. I hope, you know, they, you know, figure it out.

And we can all, I think there's enough for everybody. And this is a great sports town. Like, it's a great sports town. So there's lots of room for everybody, right? I don't know. Is that what we're supposed to say? So not professional wrestling then. Oh, I haven't ruled it out. Okay.

I haven't ruled it out. I was kind of suggesting not. There remains opportunities. Honestly, I think, I just think, you know, why would you close a door? Right? Why would you close a lot? Well, you've gotten your head shamed ball. But Ryan, I'm a big failure guy. Like, you learn through your failures, man.

Nobody's failed better than me. I fail all the time and I learn from it. Fail up. Fail up. Can we do the Pinder report? No, we're good. We can save it for tomorrow. Really? There's no games in the NFL tonight.

All the stuff I was going to talk about is going to be tomorrow. There's football? We got football. We could give you a score up there. Do you want to do a condensed version for Village Honda then? I mean, we could tell you what the hell is going to serve something. But it's up to you.

Because yeah, we, I'm happy doing this. I'm happy. I want to do that. Honestly, we got Rob here and there's no games tonight. And I wanted to watch a couple of fights and hilarious things and note some things that happened in the NHL. I can do the red tomorrow. That's great.

Well, can we. do at least do the fight. Yeah, let's get the fight. Let's do the fight. All right. So, okay, let me set the scene for Honda. Let's, I got to get the read in. There where we go. Village Honda. Two million bucks, Dean. Get a piece for yourself. Two million dollars. Go get some. That's Rob Kerr money right there. Oh, yeah. That's a pro wrestling. That's right. Two million dollars, Village Honda has set aside to buy vehicles. They'll buy your car even if you don't buy one from them. You could get a trip to Las Vegas. See what more. They're, they are. They are. They are. They are. They are. your dealership for life.

76, 60, 310-Av-Northwest. VillageHonda.com is where you go online. Anthony is our boy up there. How's his mood? Because he's big soccer guy. The Dutch squeaked one out against Senegal, so he was happy about that. And then he said he was moaned

and he had some work obligations, a conference, so he couldn't watch Canada live yesterday, which care of the man's heart out. Must have been a big deal. It's got to be a huge deal. All right, so villagehonda.com, don't need to do the whole thing. What do you want to do here?

I don't know what is. Let's, okay, so last night, 15 games, none today, American Thanksgiving, football games. You already got the bills and lions underway. It was 7-0-0-0-Lions, and then 14-7 bills, so we'll continue to keep an eye on that, get you scored before the end of the show. But one of the 15 games last night, there's a few storylines to it. Chicago goes up 4-1 on Dallas, who I don't know if you looked at the standings, running away with the Central, not Colorado, not Minnesota. Stars. Yeah. Stars been great.

Ottinger's picked up exactly where he left off from that series against the flames. Jason Robertson on an absolute heater. game point streak, I believe. Underpaid. Big time. We were talking about that. He could ask for 10 and be like, yeah, what are we going to do?

Give it to him. And our boy, Yanni Hock and Paw. Yanni, hawkins, he sheds the mittens here. Let's have a look. This is definitely not the stars of the Blackhawks. No, we're kind of jumping right in here. It's all right.

This is a fight. We can watch a fight, I guess, if we'd like. Do they still have... This isn't even last night. This is from... This is hockey fights from many, many years ago, Because they have the tarps on the seats. So that would be from the...

This is a pandemic scrap. From COVID. All right. COVID scrap, guys. It was great. All right. Well, we could take that down then. Jason Robertson, I wanted to get tied in league lead for goals with McDavid.

That's the kind of year that this is. And Horvats right there too. There's been some... We're kind of, I think tomorrow officially will cross the quarter pole for games in the NHL. So 25% of the season. will have been completed, not necessarily for the flames, but in terms of total games. And there's some quarters of seasons that are quite impressive. You want to talk about free agent Bo Horovat, free agent David Posternak, and then some of the other

storylines have been phenomenal in terms of some of these teams that are running away. Pasternak, the 30 points and 20 games. If only there was some fourth and recent examples of guys going into contract years that had successful final seasons. Well, I would just let that get right to the wire and expect that they'd resign. stay there. Honestly, the season started.

We don't negotiate in the middle of the season. No players do that. One thing we do know, though, is that guess the way the leverage moves as this season progresses. Yeah. We always seem to feel that. Like, oh, it just keeps going closer and closer to the, where do they trade them?

It's probably the, like, they're not good enough. So you don't let that go for nothing. No. And like, who could use another center? That's Colorado to me. Yeah, but with Colorado to give, this has to be a home run for Vancouver. Oh, for sure, but I don't think Colorado has the assets to do a home run at this point.

I think they could give up a couple firsts and a prospect for sure. Yeah, but I'm not, yeah. It's a rental, right? No, it's absolutely a rental. But if you're Vancouver, could you get something out of, no, it's the same thing. New York, maybe? No, you know, I don't know if they need another center, but what about Jersey? What about, is Jersey now a buyer because they are better than, you know, they're a little more advanced at this point than they were? Yeah, for sure. But it's the same thing as Colorado, though, because if you're giving up first round picks, you're giving up late round, first round picks.

They might have more youth in the system or drafted players than Colorado would have that maybe Vancouver. Their system would be better for sure. I'd agree with that. What Colorado's need is, is they don't have a two center. Cadry's gone, and they've basically said our third and our fourth centers

are trying out for number two center. And that's a matchup nightmare. Not that they don't have lots of talent elsewhere, but would they be Alex New Hook or JT. Confer is your second line center. You're going to have the second best second line center in any series you play in the playoffs. That's not who they're going to war with.

No, no. No, no, absolutely not. But the Colorado one, first of all, would they trade them to Colorado? Would they trade them within the West? I don't think they care. They shouldn't. No, they shouldn't.

But that's the thing. Out of division. Don't let common sense come in. No, and it's a rental, right? It's not like you're going to run into Colorado in the playoffs. You don't know where he's going to be sold. Is it a rental if you try to make this in January? If you try to make this, you know,

like a defundance. Foley deal. And I know Tofoli wasn't a UFA, but I'm just saying, if you get out in front of it, if you're committed to getting out in front of it and committed to giving the Horvatt camp, what, you know, a big raise, is it a rental? I just wonder about what contender that wants Horvatt has the space to give them money. That is, that's even better. And without my trusty laptop, I don't have a cap friendly in front of me. And even if you had it, you don't know whether the cap's going up four million or a million.

That's true. And so that's a big difference. And I just think most contenders are pretty capped. And that's not talking about this year, like beyond. Like there just isn't a lot of like, oh, well, just in a year, we're a contender. We had all this caps. I don't see a lot of. Do you believe Horvats getting traded?

Or do you believe they're going to keep them? I was going to say, start there. Where is the Vancouver mindset? Well, they chose their money on J.T. Miller. And it seems like that place is pretty toxic right now. I think they'd love to re-sign them. I think financially they'd have to jump through hoops that are really hard to do. And I don't think his appetite would be there like it was six months ago when, you know,

they bring Boudreau in and all of a sudden they're playing good hockey and Pedersen starts like Pedersen again like, oh boys, if we just started on time this year, we're a playoff team, everything's fine. Well, then you get another slow start. The coach doesn't look like it's a long-term fit. This GM's starting to look like the last GM committing money in the wrong spots. That's a good question as well. Is it Rutherford or is it Patrick Calvian? I think this is the classic. I've added another body to insulate me from being fired, so I'll be the president making all the moves. Yeah. Rather than having the GM, right? That's what it feels like to me.

Well, and so it's like, if you're, if you're Bo Horvatt and you're signing up in Vancouver, who's my coach long term? Don't know. Who's making the decisions here? You might have a clue, but I don't know that that's clear either. And it's like, what's the one consistent factor for how the reason they've been no good since they went to the cup final is the owner is a big part of the issues there and that's not changing. So I just think Horvatt has many times in his career probably been really enthusiastic about being there long term.

This might be rock bottom for that kind of sentiment right now. Yeah. So I think they absolutely have to move them for fear of getting nothing. And nothing helps, you know, mend fences more than millions and millions of dollars. But how does Horvett and his heart feel about the Vancouver Canucks? In addition to that, where is your heart? Do you, are you still, you're wearing the sea in your chest, you saw them sign J.T. Miller. You see the things, how things are going. Are you that, are you emotionally invested in this team that,

clearly prioritized Miller over you. Well, he can make the case that, yeah, I am, because look at the goals I'm scoring. I'm doing my job. I'm leading my team. I'm trying to do. Exactly what you want to do in your fly year. Well, or that. No, he's been there.

But to Boone's point, he's the captain. He's your leader. And what's he doing? Well, he's up there in the NHL and goals. And he's doing everything he can. He's in the cat bird seat right now. He gets whatever he wants here, guys. That's what it is.

I don't think Pastor Nack's going anywhere. I think Boston's keeping it. a long story tradition of keeping their guys and doing it at reasonable rates. It would be out of character. And the flip, I think, is true with Vancouver. I would trust them to screw this up rather than get this right. There is that. Just like, oh, there's only one more year on Louis Erickson.

Quick, let's get them out and bring an OEL. Oh, you're going to get sick of losing the bad money, hey? Let's go get some more. It does break Pinder up to see the Canucks struggling. It does, eh? It's just tough. I wish Jimbo was there. You're just a closet Canucks fan.

If Jimbo was there, it would be so much happier with their misery. It's all good. Brock's a good player and stuff. Do we know where he is? Has he surfaced? I don't know that. Who, Benning? Yeah.

I think he will, but he's probably still on payroll. You don't really surface until you're done getting paid, is my guess, or at least later in that process. I haven't heard the name in a while. Like, would it surprise you if he's back in Boston as an advisor in six months? Like, that feels like what happens? Good scrap. Excellent.

I liked seeing that. Timely. Yeah. And like it's that fresh. You hadn't seen it, I bet. It's really, yeah. If I had seen it, it's been so long I'd forgotten, I'd seen it. And honestly, I thought the, uh, the ducks wore those stars, Jersey's well.

Did you, uh, want to do anything else? I'm good. We can give you a score update if you'd like. Yeah, do that. Village Honda, drive away today in a pre-owned vehicle from Village Honda over 60 on site. Access to over 400 more. They have what you're looking. for you can visit them today northwest automol or at village honda dot com late in the first half in the

first of the u.s triple header for uh american football you get the lines at the one yard line on fourth in gold down seven 14 to seven and some finals from the universe of world cup soccer which dean get this 36 years like talk about where were you a moment uh not watching the game as where he was yesterday i had to pick up my daughter from school she was not feeling well uh i'm sorry don't you feel bad now. I don't feel bad. Two hours? You could...

Where's you going to school? Let's bridge? Right there? The hell's going on, drive. The story doesn't pass the sniff test. Special school. All right.

Very good school. Switzerland wins over Cameroon, Uruguay and Korea. A tie. Portugal gets three to be Ghana. And Brazil, Serbia is your nooner today. It'll be fun.

There you go. See you down at Cowboys. Let's do our Betway bets. There are two other games today. We'll do best. We do before the weekend, but it's Thanksgiving. So two games today.

We'll do a couple each. Betway bets of the day. Be responsible, right? Be responsible. I'll lead off if you want. It's already up. Boomers, bets of the day,

I'm going with the public. I'm going to be, I am not a sharp, I am taking favorites, both of them at home, the Giants, secondary is banged up, their offensive line is banged up.

They have receivers who are out. Cowboys 10 and a half at home, I'm going to give away the 10 and a half. It feels like a route to me. That Cowboys defense is. Last week on the road. Cowboys defense is legit. And the Patriots at the Vikings,

I think if the Vikings don't take that thrashing a week ago, this is a different number. It's a bit of a reset here. I think they're a field goal better than New England. Let the record show that Dean is backing primetime Kirk Cousins. Nothing could go wrong. You know what? I like the hook of the point five.

I don't mind it. I'm probably... I feel like if this game is in like an 11 o'clock on a Sunday window, it's like four and a half. Like, it's already cooked into the price that Kirk Cousins is going to somehow. screw it up because it's prime time. It's crazy.

All right. That's what I got. My picks, I've got two props I'm looking at for Giants, Cowboys. I'm with you. I really like the Cowboys today. Zeke Elliott is the first touchdown score. I don't think he's the bell cow there. But if it's early and you're on the one,

give it to Zeke. Pollard's going to get his later. I only, I don't like him to be better than Pollard today, but early on, why not? And then just 200 yards for each quarterback, it doesn't seem like a lot. I mean, Danny Dimes, well, that game script's probably not really going to be running the ball in the

second half of it. It's going the way you think it's going to go. Is it Slayton? Like, who's catching balls right now? Andy Robertson is out. He can be swinging it out to the running back. They're down 14 in the second half. They're throwing all day. Plus 2025 if that, if they both eclipse 200 yards, which ain't much. There's the bet way bets of the day. I think that's probably good for today. We want you to subscribe. We've got a new, we've got a new YouTube channel, our own YouTube channel coming out. We want you to go and subscribe to that.

Thank you. Describe the event. What is it about? You're talking hockey. So the event is for the prep program, which is a program that helps kids with Down syndrome in school and helps them with things that, you know,

they need to be successful in life. And it's just a great, Chris Sutter's a graduate of there. So a number of our superhears, Heroes players are there. So it really is meaningful. So Connie and I have been doing it for a while. We, uh, a couple of years ago, uh, Connie shot his mouth off and said that he could juggle while riding a unicycle. So we tried that. He couldn't. Uh, we brought a unicycle and he couldn't, but we'll do something. Uh, and then. Do you have unicycles just kicking around in case somebody's

funny. It's funny. When you say Conroy wants to ride a unicycle, how many people text you immediately going, I happen to have one. Um, so we'll talk. Don't tell anyone, but I don't know. Yeah, I just I haven't had a unicycle. One of the things that they do is really cool is they sell hockey cards. Did they talk about, did Craig talk about this? Yeah. So you buy the packs of hockey cards, but you create sets. Captains, Team Canada's, you know, 500 goal scores, and you put them together.

And if you get the sets, then you enter in for these jerseys. So there's always card trading going on and there's fun there. A lot of interaction with the guests, but really just a kind of a cool evening. Craig's your host. and I just keep it on the rails. There you go. That's Friday, or sorry,
