All right. Here we go. Start of another week. It is Barnburner here on our own YouTube channel. Yes. What are we calling this? Flames Nation YouTube. It doesn't look any different. It looks like this forward slash S-Z-Y-L-8-S-Z-S. Here we go. You've got the toque. Warner's got the Bill's hat. The Rettster. Tower Studios, still Tower, Chrysor Studios. God bless the Tower.

So what's the big... I thought we were talking about this big announcement. I thought there'd be like a big whoop-de-do today or something. Same same, same. Why are we paying so much extra for this? Exactly. It looks very much the same. Well, that's what free gets you, I guess.

Free of charge for everybody. Are not charged people more on the new site? No. It feels like a missed opportunity. I do too. although I think it would be very it'd be sobering very quickly to see that if people actually had to pay yeah

how many really what about a dollar oh wow the show love you guys you guys are great really like how much would you dollar no way I wouldn't know you get what you pay for how's going retro what's going on buddy good really good actually I slept in today wonderful Christmas tree looks great Christmas is it 12 or 13 days away I'm ready I got

all my gifts picked out or sent to me by someone that does better things than I do. Yeah. So I'm all set. Yeah, 13, right? Better people than we are. It's on a Sunday. I guess it depends if you count today or not, right? I mean, this is what always confuses me when we ask how many days away things are.

Is today already done or is tomorrow? Well, it depends when you're listening. If you've listened to the podcast, you can be listening to this like Christmas Eve. What if you're listening to this Christmas Day? Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. And if this is what you're doing with your Christmas day.

It's going to be the best Christmas because you're going to be able to watch the Bill's on Christmas Eve. Head of shape. And you're going to get just plowed, s-faced. Get a little bit of bligerent in you. I don't know if you've looked. We've got Saturday football. What you really feel about them.

Sunday football. Thursday football. There's a lot of sports coming out. Gifts back on the couch. Are you? Yeah, I'll let the kids. Do you get blasted Christmas day? Yep, Christmas Day is my day.

I don't want to. Yeah. Yeah. I do it. And I make. No qualms about it. I will announce it to the world. I will be S-faced on Christmas Day.

I'm all in Christmas Day. I don't care what your opinion is. If I ruin Christmas Eve, no good. If I ruin Christmas night, who cares? Interesting. Everyone's got their shit by then. Well, and you know what? Every family's got a different tradition.

Yeah. Drunk, the Rettster is a Christmas Day experience, not Christmas Eve. Drunkal Rett. Drunkal Rett. Yeah, I was at my brother's place, a couple of years ago. This is when the in-laws still had a place in Calgary.

And we had Christmas dinner there and I had like two bottles of wine to myself. And then I got into the vodkas. And then I started berating all the teachers in the room, calls them losers and lazy. Yep. Giving it to them.

They like doing that. Then I taught my nephews how to play hockey on the outdoor rink. I nailed them, ran them through the, like just crushed them. Then I came back in and I phoned my father-in-law to come back because they had left after dinner. Now it was about 11 o'clock.

I said, I'm going to need a ride home. You better come get me. And at about 2.30, my mother-in-law showed up to pick us both up and take us home. That's a good shift. That is a good shift. Because I was going to say, if you're getting, if you're doing the wine and vodka, what times bedtime on Christmas? Because maybe you're up the night before, you know.

Well, he's got to explain to the in-laws, too. It's a holiday tomorrow. We're getting blackout. Yeah. Because in America, you've got to work on the 26. not here. Have you ever missed Christmas dinner, like so ready for bed? You know turkey just straight to the mattress? No, I've never missed it.

There was days where I wished I didn't have to, when I was single. Yeah. Christmas Eve was a big party night when I was single. What was the, uh, even without kids, like the shoveler ruined Christmas, one Christmas, to be honest with you. Of course she did. It turned Christmas. We went out and got, so we're, uh, it was the year, a lot of,

Monmark was a flame. Yeah. Lundmark was a flame, Byron Ritchie, because we read, G.O. So many Richies. Young kid, rookie, maybe not a rookie, but a year. No, I think he was a rookie. And so it was Christmas. We were on the road.

We got home, Christmas Eve. Christmas. We had phone, Gio, I said, come over. We'll make, we made chicken cordon blue and mashed potatoes. That was our Christmas Eve dinner. And then we called a limo. and we filled some garbage bags with toilet paper and various stupidities. And then we traveled around all the people without family and visited all their houses on Christmas Eve.

And that idiot Lundmark had no ice or mix at his house. So by the time we left his house, it was lights out. Now the shovel is in full attack mode and it's yelling and belligerent. We go to Peter Handlin's house and he had a couple people over. And we played a game and you know what it's like when people are drunk and they're competitive. It does not turn out well. So then we got fighting and arguing and Gio's with us. And we finally went home about 2.30 in the morning.

Well, then I started feeling guilty at about 7 a.m. when I woke up with a headache, I'm like, I'm a 40 minute flight to Saskatoon. And I got no reason not to go home and see my folks. My grandma was still alive, aunt and uncle. So I woke the shoveler up. She puked her guts out the whole day. And we flew back to Saskatoon for about 12 hours. And she spent most of it in the can yakking.

The more you know. It's a beautiful heartwarming tale. It's really one of those festive tales that will. Gets more heartwarming every year I hear it. The other side of that story is the Mark Giordano story, where he is young. It's his first Christmas away. He's in Calgary, has no family,

but Rhett Warner and his wife invite him over for Christmas. He doesn't know any better. He doesn't know anyone and doesn't know any better. So he comes over to Rets for cordon blue and mashed and then decides we're going to get some limos. Didn't you also go to like shopper's drug mart and buy toys or presents and stuff? Wasn't that part of it in the garbage bags?

You just had like random stuff as gifts. It blends together because we did that. Yeah, we did that. We did that for a, we had to go one of the Christmas parties. We had to do that where you went to a, well, you could go, you could take your limo to wherever you wanted, but you had to spend a certain amount on gifts to give to less fortunate people. Gotcha. So, yeah, so Gio goes over to the Warners for Christmas dinner and then it's limos and Lundmark and straight booze. And, yeah.

And Gio wakes up the next morning. Now, you heard, Rhett has the guilt, we should really go to Saskatoon. We should really go. So, Gio wakes up, hung over in Warner's house. Guess who's there? No one's there. No. They have flown to Saskatoon and left him in the house by himself. How do I lock there?

Because, you know, Redd didn't want Gio to spend Christmas by himself. That's right. At Rhett's house, Gio still spent Christmas by himself. When push came to shove, he needed to get back to the family. Family just edged out Gio ever so slightly with a bad hangover. Gio was a dick the night before because he ganged up with the shoveler and they picked on me.

So with him. This is what I keep hearing, yeah. He'd be not the best board game drunk, I'm guessing. He's a competitive cat. I'm going to believe the shoveler is intense. Wasn't she a softball player or something in college? Yeah, the shoveler does not like, no, she's hugely competitive. Yeah.

Even to the point where if you challenge her to drink, games. It's to the death. Don't do it to the death, please. At least to sleep. Yeah. At least to the pass-up, maybe. Well, Gio and his Leafs got one over on the flames. Geo and his cheating, damn Leafs. A bunch of cheetahs. Did you see him? Take the penalty. Yeah. Did you see the penalty on Gio? No call.

You dummies, don't even know what I'm talking about, do you? No. There was a few non-calls and there was lots of calls. Breakaway. So, yeah, I thought you go away. The guy blasting by Gerdano and you can't impede a person with your stick and he's going to get a breakaway and Gio impedes him. No call. We're in Toronto. Can't call Gio? He's too good a guy.

Oh my God. If I'd have stuck my stick out like that, finally shot. Well, to be fair, if the flames have stuck their stick out in the third, they were going to the box. That was the rhythm of the game. I will say for all the conspiracy theorists, including Daryl Sutter, the most egregious, of the game had Malgan in the locker room for a period and didn't get called. And you just can't have your stick in people's faces. They're not really a lot of gray area calls there.

Keep your stick out of people's faces, please. What if they're like bent over? Is it still a stick in the face? Well, don't dive into someone's stick, then don't call it. But if your stick is up towards someone's head, I feel like that's your responsible for it. Sorry. Don't be shooting off the face off at center ice. If you're shooting or passing the pockets of fine.

How did you feel about the... Control your face, Pinder. Control your face. You'll charge your face at all times. The Vladar trip, because he's trying to poke check there. And at full speed, it's like, okay, was that the defense? You're like, no, that's the goalie. There's a lot of times that doesn't get called.

But I don't know. Like, I just don't think there's a lot of weight to the Toronto runs the hockey universe because one of the worst calls you've seen in the playoffs last five years was like a, a pick in game seven against Tampa in a one goal game last year in round one. Well, and Gretzky got the high stick on Gailmore. Oh, that's right. In 93. You're right. Yeah. They were trying to grow the game down in California. That's the only reason that's all. And it was Gretzky again.

Well, they're trying to grow the game in Toronto now. And I wish them well with all those penalties they got on Saturday. Three for six, go the Leafs, the final coming in the overtime frame. I would be more concerned with 13 penalties that set up our plays in two games, then I would be Toronto getting helped by the refs. Yeah. There's some bad habits penalty-wise, and your penalty kill is good,

but it doesn't need to work that much. And you're playing with fire when it's the Leafs. Yeah, they can score. You got to take, hey, I'm going to say it quietly because it's not everybody knows it. I forget what it was going to. Oh, good. That's really quiet. Excellent point. Yeah. Excellent

point by you. Oh, my God, it just gone. So yeah. Yeah. That happens, eh? Oh, wait. Yeah, it's gone. Yeah, okay.

Okay. I should just move on, right? I thought maybe, maybe like a lightning bolt would strike there. Yeah, yeah. That's like waking up in Rett's house. He's gone. That thing's not coming back.

So doing a show on Monday when you had the Friday, Saturday games, there's the Columbus game that goes before that. What? We don't need to spend a whole lot of time, even on the Leaf game for what that was worth. But you go back to Columbus. A lot of focus on Goodrow. Well, first a lot of focus on Matthew Phillips, who then didn't play,

but then a lot of focus on Godreau, who was quiet for most of the night. But... Yeah, the horn of smoke was real. When we look back at Friday's show, when that many people are talking about it, and it's like, oh, this was the plan all along. He was a center, and they weren't going to play Phillips anyway, but they needed Rooney to Clear for the roster spot, da-da-da-da-da. Not today, like whatever.

I mean, he got it. Came back to me. Back to you got it? You got it? You figured it out. Okay. So you're going to say it quietly again? Do we have to look? Okay.

If you're if you're not as fast as the other team, you sometimes have to take penalties to slow them down. Wow. Truth bomb. So that's what you do is you put your stick in someone's face when they're faster than you. Because all I saw was stupid high sticking penalties. The flames slow them right the half down.

Right there. Hey, fast boy, eat my blade. There it is. Yeah. So what, I mean, whatever. Flames have the,

Columbus is shitty. Three game win street. The Columbus game was, Darrell wasn't happy at all. He was pissed at the decor. Yeah. McKenzie Weger. One Weaker owned it post game and then gave you another one Saturday.

I love all while he owned it so it's okay. I didn't say that. I said he owned it and then did it again the next night. That's not as good as owning it and not doing it. Is there nothing, is there no redeeming quality when you are no good and you admit that you're no good? That depends if he likes him or not. If he doesn't like the guy, it's no good. If he likes the idea, look at this character.

Yeah, it's better than doing what the dinket for the Jets did, right? That quarterback, what was his name? Yeah, yeah, yeah, John, Zach Wilson. Zach Wilson, yeah. Do you have any problem with the office? Yeah, no, blaming everyone else. Yeah, yeah. Did you let down the defense?

Nope. Yeah. They should just do their damn job. So, hey, Red, why do you hate McKenzie Weeger? Is it because he only has six assists? Is that why? He's miscast. He is miscast.

and the braggards of like you two, the rest of the hockey world, have miscast him as a one, two, and he's clearly not. I was surprised how many old school hockey people loved the deal, because he's not that. Like, he plays tough,

but the turnovers are ugly ones. That's always been the case. He's the kind of guy that I think I'd want on my team. I just don't want him to rely on him as my top guy. No, he's playing three here, like if we're being honest. Here was my whole thing on it.

4-5 is probably more realistic. I, I, so, okay, so the trade. He's me, he's slightly better than I was. Well, you're a Hall Famer over there, glass and out. He could have used a few glasses and oats this weekend. I was fine with it until I think it was you or somebody said, well, you know, you know what he is, whether he's, you know, it's kind of like T.J. Brody. Serrettated that one, too.

I'm telling you, the mistakes are on highlight reels. There's not a lot of offense. He's really good at some of the stuff that you don't see, if unless you're looking for it, like denying zone entries, gaining the zone. Oh, God. But like, no, and look, no one, I didn't say he's coming into run the power play. Like, the only time he's ever done that, so an ex-blad is hurt. And, like, that's not his skill set.

He has six points, guys. X-O-Planx. Six. And Xbox is running the power play. But, yeah, he hasn't been great so far. He's clearly a top four guy in the league. but he hasn't wowed. He's not been their best D.

If he wants to be for a bit, that'd be great. He hasn't really been very good. You can see the skill is there. He's not been what he was sold to be. That's the problem. What were you sold? When you talked to people, Dean, what did you hear about him?

What was like, okay, if I'm trying to envision this, because let's be fair, it's Florida. Maybe we watched a bit of that series against Tampa the last couple of years, and you see him twice a year, but they're not on TV. It's the wrong time zone. And to be fair, that team played incredibly different than this one.

They were the highest scoring team in the history of the cap last year. They love trading chances. That ain't Daryl's team. What I remember is when the, and all I remember about it really is when the trade went down, you're absorbing all of it. And I think I put out on Twitter about Uighers. Like, here's a top four guy that's playing a ton of minutes and all that sort of thing. And that is a top, top four.

This guy's a top pairing guy. People were coming at me for not giving them enough credit. And the other thing was the player cards, the doms and the J. Freshes of the world love this guy. I was told about how the analytics loved the guy. Zone entry denial stuff and all that. So, because yeah, am I going to, did I watch

50 Florida Panthers games last year? You don't deny entry. Can I say something? Sure. Fire. You don't deny entry as a defenseman by yourself. You can't. Fair. It's possible.

It's a team. If you don't have a back checker, you're effed. They're getting entry. Totally. Yeah. If there's numbers against you, you're screwed. If you're facing 100 of them, then we start to understand, okay, like, we're going to, a two-on-one's not going to stand out. Like, you need large numbers here.

If I was going to suggest how he does it, I think he's rather aggressive as opponents approach their blue line. And it forces them to make tough decisions sooner than they want to. He's not letting them gain the zone before they have to make the decision. So they might chip it sooner or try a pass that maybe isn't easy. But when you make a mistake playing, aggressive at your line you get burnt right he's again yes so but that's team philosophy that's that that's mandated by the coach to say stand up and pinch and keep the puck in and be aggressive at other blue lines because we'll have a back checker coming to cover for you in case you get beat

it has nothing to do with mackenzie weger so i don't know about that side hey i'm going for it i'm going to go against sutter's game plan or whoever's putting it together and just rand pinch and run around. That's what Z does. Yes. The roller coaster does that. I don't think Florida played that way necessarily. I don't think Florida was, oh, we got a checker coming back hard.

And I don't think Florida was like all the D-Man are good against zone entries. That wasn't the case. But I think we'd all agree he hasn't been great. Maybe they need to go and get Xbox to play with him. Where is X-Pok? Is he available? I don't know. Some of those wrestlers aren't available.

there. He's alive. He's living. I don't want to say anything. You never know with wrestlers. Everyone, so Columbus, excited for Matthew Phillips, doesn't play.

Saturday, Leifes, Phillips does play. Nine minutes, 21 seconds of ice, some second team power play. You would said when you're killing off that many penalties, you don't get in on special teams.

Can you catch me up? Do we have... Can you catch me up? Do we have injuries and crap, or is this... Luke, in the rafters. Richie sounds like he's a little

dinged up, but probably could play. Zahorn has been in for two, Phillips in for one. I like Zahorn. Phillips got tossed around a little too much, but I guess if he's, I don't care so much that he's falling as long as he's making plays. Yeah, and I think he did that on a couple of instances

where he hit the turf, but you're like, oh, you got that past where it needed to go. Where he was at the net front and gets knocked over, but he was there looking for a rebound or whatever. It wasn't a lot of on five on Saturday, but, you know, he kind of, he looked like a pro. He's just a really small pro. I didn't think it was like, ooh, this guy doesn't know what he's doing.

He seemed to be in the right spots. He played with speed. I don't mind a little more pace than that bottom six. I was just going to say, I would, I would be happier to watch that progress and hope that it turns into something to watch mud just stick to the walls. Yep. And I hope he gets a little runway here. Sorry.

No, I was just going to say, and then based on tonight, tonight they play in Montreal and morning Skate this morning. Luchich was again skating with the extras. Phillips back with the Backland and Rizichke line. Rosie. So it looks as though it'll be back to back

healthy scratches for Luchich after going a decade without any. The other news from morning skate rat is your arch rival and hated villain McKenzie Wager has ill missed morning skate. You must be thrilled.

So I don't know if that means he's done tonight, it just means he didn't skate this morning. So it was Zad Dogg, the roller coaster riding with Tanev, and our good pal and friend Connor Mackey coming in to play with Michael Stone. You know,

see, and I think they screwed that up on Saturday night. They should have had that big, who was the guy that fought? Gilbert. They should have had him playing with Lucci Chote. They should have had Gilbert in. 70. They could have had the little dust up with Simmons.

Well, Gilbert scored, I think, for the Wranglers yesterday at the dome. He was busy, I guess. So, he has plans. Had other things going on, yeah. Well, the Darrow wanted 11 forwards and said. I'm just saying there are certain circumstances where the other team with their lineup, you might want to have someone that's willing to dust it up. Like Michael Stone is not going to throw the Dukes with.

Yeah, but Zedorov was out there. anyone of I think I'm thinking of the same skirmish that was a pair. I mean, I don't know that that, like it would have been nice to see someone go beat up

Wayne Simmons if you're a Flames fan, but I didn't really factor into the game for me in terms of who won it. I like to be entertained, Ryan, as well in the game. That's firm but fair. I found it entertaining. That was a good game. So expect

it was a good game. Luchich to miss again tonight. Also expect Jacob Markstrom to get the start based on the morning skate and Montreal. He will get the green light. Now, we played against Montreal. If you remember, the first goal of the game was in the

first minute of the game where he came out flying out to the puck. He didn't get us. And it was in the back of his net. And the second goal, which is the game winner, was a power play, great feed, and set up from Suzuki and Cole Coffield. He hasn't allowed a lot lately. His last three games all losses, two goals, two goals, three goals. And the run support, he said, one, one, zero.

And still early goals. All early. Right. Still just early goal. Say, oh, there's Linye at the hash mark pretty much all alone. Have fun. Welcome to the game, Jake. Yeah.

So I, hey. That was Johnny. Huh? There was not a lot of Johnny, to be honest. Johnny. Yeah, it was. Columbus, I don't think, usually plays that way because they're not used to having a lead early. I don't think.

Yeah, that was, I think that's as good as I guess. I spent a lot of time watching Columbus. Yeah. Anyway. You lose a goalie to injury and still hang on. That's the scoop for tonight. In Montreal, play the Habs, come home, Vancouver on Wednesday. That's St. Louis Friday.

She's busy, Red. Busy. Are we at the point now where it's... Tell me about busy. I got... Yeah? I got two emails this morning and say, and book your flights and hotels in Detroit,

and then the next weekend in Fort Lauderdale. Holy H. I know which one of those trips I do. I know. Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Erie this weekend. Pittsburgh, Cleveland. and Erie. So get that in your books.

I'll write that down. I'll get that one out. It's in my books. I'll get my books. Then I'll get that in it. Yeah. Can you get them in your books? We will have tickets.

Tomorrow, we have a pair for the Vancouver Calgary game on Wednesday. It's giving away tomorrow so someone can make plans and be ready for Wednesday. I like it. It's like,

Brett. You need get your book. Get it in your books. Get it in your books and get it in there. As Madrose Pub and Royal Oak, 20 beers on tap, kid-friendly Saturday, Sundays and Mondays. They have got, this is not bar grub. This is high-quality food. They are making the pizza, the pizza dough and the sauce fresh every single day. Wings were good.

Damn right. Go to their website, madrose.com, 15 Royal Vista Place, and get after it. Tickets, courtesy of our buddies up at Madros. Somebody was up there doing a little bit of drinking on the old social media like, hey, I'm here because of Barnburner. Really? Barn burner made me do it. Awesome. Love it. Preach.

How are the Tomahawks? I did not Tomahawk this weekend. What? No. How long have you'll sit? What is wrong with you? If I had one of those, I'd hit you in the forehead with it. I was out of town all the weekend.

I managed to eat those. No, I did. Sorry. Put it on the grill. Put it in the oven and start salivating, you fool. Eat that thing. Get some Saskatchewan, Trager, Saskatchewan, black and seasoning. Douse that, baby, and chow down.

Are you putting this in your books? You're going to need to know this. I've got to get my books. So a four-minute sear on each side, rat, and then about six or seven aside, internal temperature, 140. Let's go. Oh, my goodness. If you're not on the YouTube. Damn it, that looks.

Yeah, my mouth is. I'll do another juice cleanse this week if I get one. of these showing up on Friday. Greg hooked us up with Wagoo. Make it creamy horse radish or just a horse radish straight? Grandpa went with the horse radish.

I was like, let's not really mess around. This beef doesn't need to get buried. If anyone brings out barbecue sauce, I'm going to clock them. This is unreal. Like just melting your mouth butter. It's like my buddy beef. Salt pepper, rub it in, done. We go to a steakhouse.

He's asking for HP sauce. I just want to crawl under the table and hide every time. You know what? If that's a foul, what's ketchup? Is that like a lifetime ban? Yeah, it's, because there's like, that's way worse. Way worse than HP. Scott Tinkler in Florida, we would go to Peter Lugers in New York City.

The best steakhouse maybe in the world. And he would catch up and steak sauce, please, and then pour it right on the steak, not even dip, just idiot. Isn't that what was it with Cron? Pizza with ketchup? Didn't he his mom used ketchup instead of pizza sauce or something stupid? If Cron put ketchup in a cereal, I would be surprised. That is very on brand.

My buddy Chad Allen, the infamous Chad Allen, he would, he invited that priest over. Remember the guy? Yeah, yeah. The blessed the roast. He invited him over with their younger for tacos one night. Ground beef and ketchup. Those are not tacos. That's not a taco.

That's ground hamburger in a shell. So we call him Taco Chad. That's his nickname. How are kids being raised? Because it comes from the parents. You don't just... It's not how you just don't... Oh, well, yeah.

Not everyone can grow up fancy, and maybe the meat isn't so good. You need to bathe it in sauces. But when you get to a place with nice meat, get rid of your bad habits. Now, I wasn't... I didn't get into the stakes, but on Friday after the program,

I, apparently the third in the threesome here, to get to Vina Nova. Oh, you did go. And do a little bit of looking around. I had set it up with Justin with Vena Nova, lab grown diamonds. And surprise to the woman that I lived with. Your roommate. I just kept telling her, I'm like, Friday after, because Friday afternoon we're going to go get Sunday, Sunday.

So I told her on the way, hot date. We're going to pick out something nice for you. Oh, what's that? And usually that's, you know, nothing excited. Trust me. Nothing exciting comes from this guy. Hey, we're going to Jimmy's sex shop off the cloud. Come pick out something nice of yourself. That's all online, that stuff.

So very quick. What, what is it? So she's driving there on the phone, on tovenova.com. Oh, my God. What the hell? Oh, look at the. Jeez. Starts looking around.

So we go and see Justin and we're in the beautiful shop there at the Stephen Avenue place. There it is. Isn't it? Yeah. And as it turns out, they have a lot of very nice things. Yes. And even, even Mama found something that she's very, very fond of. Yeah.

Ozzy Sheila was showing off her earrings all weekend. Very proud. Got some bling. And, you know, Justin, to his credit, kind of goes through the... Was this your choice? No, this is just some of the stuff that I was trying to get out. Okay. Because, dude, it's the diamond.

are the same. It's the same. Yeah, it's carbon under pressure. It's the same. So, and I asked Justin, I said, you guys have got to be really busy right by now. He's like, yeah, you start to pick up. He's just, but you'd be surprised. A lot of the guys that work, last minute shoppers. A lot of the guys that work downtown like kind of the plus fifth, 23rd, 24th gets really busy. It's like, oh, guys, geez. Like my butt clench is just thinking about that. Shopping for like jewelry on the 24th. A couple of fellas have reached out already though. We're trying one, one year at a time. We'll just try to keep moving that further away from Christmas. It's right downtown. You can do it on your lunch break. You dopes. Let's go. Second floor, Stephen Avenue place, Vena Nova,

go and check them out. This, I can, I can just tell you, this was a massive hit. Oh, yeah. Massive hit. Yes. My mom was very emotional. that I could provide my wife something of this caliber. I know, yeah. And she was very proud of me, apparently. Well, just thank Justin. He didn't come over for the hug, but he doesn't know my mom.

That's probably for a matured. Again, you did nothing, but Justin. I'll take the credit, though. And I'll say that usually I'm, I don't like doing the, I like the surprise element. Christmas morning, open the gift, wow. And then sometimes, inevitably, well, maybe go and look at another one

or we'll go take a look at a seat. I did get a gift for a seat. this is this was the other way let's just go find what you like and go at it that way and probably easier on on the gift giver this way you know what's going to happen now saves you two trips it does it's staying like yeah there's no i know it's particularly for the the my roommate rather picky particular yeah how is what she likes how is the selection process how long did that take well she and justin started talking and i was scrolling the waiver wire for running backs because those two knew exactly what they're talking about and i was just like holy is this latin stay out of the way

yeah yeah they worked great justin knows exactly what he's doing she was asking all the questions and very happy yeah she was also starting to well you know got some friends yeah yeah maybe a little collaboration to put it so those two i was just leaving along it's great so thanks to just And thanks to everybody at Viena Nova and can't recommend them enough. Yeah. It's the affordable way of going about it. In some cases, you're getting 70, 80% off of what you would pay for a, like a fifth of the price, guys. That's nuts.

For a diamond that is likely and most assuredly less quality than what you're paying for these. Better clarity, all that sort of stuff. And still time. Don't wait till the 23rd. I couldn't believe what he's. Oh, yeah, 24th. there'll be guys coming in here buying mass. We're big, dumb animals.

Buying massive rings and stuff. Nonetheless, nonetheless. Betway bets from the weekend. Now, Retro, did you realize what happened? I'd like to say I did and I wanted a guaranteed win, but I did not. No, I was in my mind. He didn't mean to pick both sides. Teams that start with B.

Yeah. It was teams that started with the letter B was my motto. Brett was on the road on Friday and texted it in his bets. So we always know that the bills are going to be there, regardless of spread or opponent. So he only needs to find two other games to bet on. So he needed two others. So he sent in the text, Bill's, Browns, Bengals. The killer bees.

The issue being the Browns and Bengals were playing one another. Which, I mean, you can't go 1 in 3 if you pick both sides of a game, but you also can't go 3 in 0. That's true. So the bills were a 9 and a half. It's so classic, 9 and a half. point favorite and didn't quite get there. Got the victory, but couldn't get the terrible weather.

Hey, that's what, uh, well, give up a safety, you dummies. Come on. Are you at all concerned about these bills? They're in first place in the FC, aren't they? No. No, no. No, it was miserable weather here yesterday. Terrible, terrible way to play a football game.

And they, uh, they're fine. The jets aren't brutal. They got, no, the jets. are good. They can be a playoff team. They are as of this moment until that charge has been last night, I guess. And then the other two games were actually one game. The Browns were playing the Bengals

and the Bengals were victorious by more than the five and a half points. Guaranteed winner. So the Bengals, savvy cover the Browns do not. So congrats on the one and three, Red, well done. Very savvy. For whatever reason, Buffalo, because of their conference record of seven and two, sitting first in the

AFC. All the hand-ringing Reds had the last six weeks above KC in the standings will be the one seed in the FC if the playoffs started tonight. Well, let me ask you this. You want to talk about the, who's going, you or me? Yeah. If you look back at their season,

yeah, they've got some losses, but most of those losses, they kind of did to themselves. Self-inflicted. Miami and the Jets for sure. They absolutely. The Jets, they imploded. They were up by 11 and the Vikings.

The Vikings, the snap. You're right. So all three, it's like their own fault. It's embarrassing. And so while it feels like the sky's falling after those losses, it's like, man, like if you just learn your lessons, clearly the skills there, you can, it's, you don't have to squint to see them at 13 and 0 here, like the way they lost those your games. Yeah. Ask my 13 year old team, we, the coaches on the team yesterday found, we found ourselves screaming and yelling and come on, let's go. And then the period ended. And we looked at each other and we says, well, we're outshot the other.

17 to 5 but we're down 3 to 2 maybe things aren't so bad I like that the big pitcher right yeah see you got to catch yes yeah level headed very level headed uh who wants to go because well let's save pinder to the end I'll go with my picks I did and again you weren't around for it I went full opposite I went full Kestans opposite George uh looked at the looked at the 17 and a half points for the Cowboys. Way too many points, way too many. So I took the Cowboys. The Giants against the Eagles.

A divisional game. Seven and a half points. Eagles, no, that's too. Again, that hook, the seven and a half, took the Eagles and got the win. And then Cleveland had, what, beaten the Bengals three years, four in a row. They'd been dominating the, I don't think that Cleveland had, Joe Burrow had never beaten the Browns.

Yeah. The Bengals. So I definitely like the Browns in this one. So I took the Bengals and went two for three on my opposites. I think you have to do it again. I'm right back. Until opposite George is under 500. You've got to keep them rolling.

Yeah. Right back. Did Dallas lose outright? No, they won in the end. They got one by four. They did come back. Late touchdown. Houston.

Oof. With who at quarterback? I was driving back from Wilkesbury and my idiot kid. Oh, I didn't realize it. So we get in the truck after the game, turn the Bill's football game on. Things are good. I'm okay with this. I'd rather be on my couch, but this will be good.

I can listen to the game, the whole way home. So you put it in your map, right? And it tells you turn right or left in 10 miles or this or that. Well, I didn't realize the big dopes plugged his phone in. So it kicked my phone out. Now I'm driving for three and a half hours. You know, you saw me on Friday. I'm driving.

Trucking. Things are good. I'm like, where are we? Like, this doesn't look familiar at all. I feel like maybe lost. Completely locked. Just waiting to get told to turn somewhere. You never heard it.

Yeah. Yeah. No, I add an hour to my drive. Thought the Rocky Mountains be a little rockier than this. John, Don, um, let's, uh, I started throwing stuff. Yeah, you had to. You would handle that well.

I think probably a lot of us would, but you for sure, because of what the idiots, for sure, your idiot kids. Now, how about Pinder? Take a look for a good one here, boys.

Get a look of this, Retro. There it is. It has been Haley's Comet since I went three in a. Oh. Now, for a while, Kansas City was loving life

against Russ and the Broncos, but then... Russ gives all praise to JC. Started cooking. There you go. Started cooking. So the Broncos get within the nine and a half points. Herbert's got his weapons back and looks a lot better than Tua.

That was last night. And we said Trevor Lawrence, the Jags, look there. They might have turned a corner. They never mind three and a half. Wallup, Tennessee. Something was up there. Remember they fired their GM. They're three games up in the AFC South.

A little bit of a skid for them all of a sudden. They beat Miami. They won that game against Miami. Oh, yeah. Never mind the three and a half. Yeah. Heater, baby. So we have an 0-and-3 week, a 3-0 week, and the rest 2-1-1.

What's happened? I couldn't go 2-1 for my life to you. No, no, I was talking about. Who was 0-3? I've talked about my season here, Rhett. Trying to keep tallies where we're at. As always, well overdue. He's focused on himself.

It's your betway bets of the day. Bet responsibly. Tonight, it is the cards and New England Patriots. Six and six last in their division. This is it, right? Any hope? Both sides? I don't have any hope for Arizona, no.

But I think for the Patriots you need to win because that division's good. Miami's good, the bills are great, jets are hanging around. Yeah, I don't have hope for either of those teams. Boy, I like Arizona. Gross. How are you so bad? How are you so bad? Yeah, they're four and eight. Last call for what?

Last call for extending cut. Are they going to fire Kingsbury? Didn't they just extend the quarterback? His old cliff with a keg and I get the, uh, take his flat-brimmed hats. Kyler Murray and then they took out the stipulation where he doesn't have to go to game film or something so he doesn't

even care if he's... You should have had a no call of duty clause in that contract. COD, getting him. He loves it. He'd never sign it. That's true. How would the three of us respond to something like that? Like, okay, say we're elite at something. I don't know what it could be. God.

But it was something and they paid you handsomely and we were 25 years old and they said, okay, we've just guaranteed you $200 million and like guaranteed you you can make 300 but for sure you're going to get 200 if you go out and play how's your motivation are you still dialed in like is this an issue for you guys i feel like you guys would just fall flat on your faces i'd be retox in every day i'd be eating a lot of jujubes and fries and gravy yeah well what happened to your draft year right like is this yeah is it i'm just i'm just

just wondering if this is a legitimate concern moving forward for NFL. I think it's the same concern that's always been there. Like five million bucks in the 80s was a shit ton of money. And it's like the numbers are bigger, but I'm talking about that, but the NFL used to never guarantee anything. Right. It's only recently last. Kurt Cousin's got a fully guaranteeable one.

Maybe Aaron got close. Yeah, but when did that start? Not long. That used to be the thing about the NFL contract was, you're no good. Cut. Yep. Like Russell Wilson's... No, you're not.

Russell's quarter billion we talk about all the time. It's going to end up being 160 million because there's just, there's no way they live with him the length of that contract. Is that why he's doing so poorly? Because he knows at the end of the day, it'll just 160 million. I don't think he's doing enough stretching on the plane. That's the problem, I think. Yeah. More TikToks.

Needs a few more TikToks. Let's get into what I'm guessing is a very busy Pinder report today. It's a presentation of Village Honda. the $2 million buy-in event has been extended until the end of the month, which all of a sudden now is only like a couple more weeks, so get after it. You could also pick up a cruise for two. They want your used cars, people.

Only at Village Honda, your dealership for life in the Northwest, Auto Mall. Here's a Pinder report. Thoughts and prayers to Anthony after that Netherlands loss. T's and peace. T's and peace. We'll get to that final four in the World Cup in a moment, but we start with the flames. it was the Johnny Bowl Friday in Columbus.

You know what you serve at the Johnny Bowl? Piping hot pizzas from McKenzie Wigger's oven. Oh, dear. Mac, what up? Just a good old fashion pizza. Oh, we bleeped it. That's so sad. I'm sure we didn't, but someone did.

Someone did, yeah. It wasn't there. It was clearly not there. It's bad play. It's just a good old fashion. pizza. Yeah, that was, look at that face and remember that player's position. So that's a defenseman.

That's a long, Red Warner there. That's like a loss in Columbus against a bad team. And let's go right to Darrell Sutter's post game. First 29 seconds. I think our defense struggled mightily with the puck and in coverage for the whole game. giveaways of so many odd ran rushes. Yes. Affirmative. Not one of those nights.

We had some guys came for a visit not to try and win the hockey game. Very disappointing. How about Mark's trip? That's enough. That's good there. So, yeah, we came for a visit not to win a hockey game. I don't think we have to look too deep between

the tea leaves to suggest there was a Johnny get together the night before and then you lose to Johnny, and that would drive Darrell Wilde. Never the play of the defensemen with turnovers and their play away from the puck, the entire game, which was a chief problem, affirmative. Struggled. Middly.

To toss the table there. I thought he was throwing the table. If he flipped it, that would have been beautiful. Because that's what it was. They was going to go to Johnny's and see the new baby and have a, so yeah, it was, I'm sure they had a good visit. I don't think Darrell went. Remember, he didn't like the notion of, because he came in halfway through the Jeff

Ward season, and there was a bunch of that. Canadian division nonsense that Brady and Matthew would even talk at Center Ice as brothers during warm-ups. Well, what would Daryl know about playing? So if you're talking during warm-ups, like imagine going to see a baby the night before you play a guy. Like, he did, this is not. One of the first things you learn, though, one of the first things a guy learned when

you're playing for, so do not let him see you talk to the other team unless you're using F-bombs. Yeah. Maybe don't be friendly. And maybe Weiger was doing a bunch of coochie coos the night before. Oh, Koochoochoo pooh. No, he knew Johnny, though. Did he know Johnny? I don't think he knows Johnny.

He would know, John. He would know, John. Yeah. Sad dog? I don't know. I'd let him hold a baby. All right, I'll leave that alone. Okay.

So that was the scene setter for Saturday's matchup in Toronto, who Darrell called the best team in the NHL when referencing their 13, 1 and 4 runs. that they'd been on, which is quite impressive. Matthew Phillips did get in as it was Zahornay on Friday. And you can tell he was there, right? I'm going to take a picture of my kid's sticks next to. Please do.

Put it on Twitter. Similar, just the opposite. Yeah, I was going to say the, who, yeah, it was exciting. What we're showing on the YouTube is the stick rack of the flames. And you have Matthew Phillips two sticks that are anywhere from half a foot to a foot, shorter than everyone else's. Which, yes, hands up if you heard, he's small. Yes, listed at 170, 5-7, 5-8.

What? No, sorry, 140, 5-7, 5-8, 150. We're seeing all kinds of conflicting weights and sizes, but all of them are small, Dean. This is, and by the way, all of them are very small. Retro, you'll remember, this is a bit of a Pinder backpack. Because when you go to different websites and then players have different heights and weights listed. Yeah.

Drives him crazy. And I get it because it's like, okay, well, this is an old website. They have it here. And this is, oh, this was new. This was this training camp. They weighed a guy. What doesn't make sense is when the cavalry ranglers are owned by the flames and it's the same people doing the weighing and measuring that they would have different numbers on the

Wrangler site than the flames. What? Well, see what happens, Ryan. I told you about this. So the fat guys go to camp and you put weights in your pocket so your body fat goes down because you're not worried about your well. You're just worried about your body fan. The skinny little fellas, they put weights in their pockets because they need their weight to go up.

They're not worried about the body fat. They need the higher weight. So that's what he's doing. So which scales did he put the weights in his pocket for? The NHL ones or the HL ones in the same building? NHL, because he doesn't care about the HL. He can dominate the HL. It doesn't matter what he's at there.

NHL, he's got to be bigger. I didn't think they'd be letting you wear a bunch of clothes getting on the scale. I thought it was kind of a, you know, get your... shorts and t-shirt on. It's coming in with baggy backwards jeans. It's not a boxing way in. Is that a kettlebell in your pocket? I feel like

Rhett would have had those relationships sorted out well ahead of training camp. Oh, yeah. Not sure about the rookies. I already weighed in. As for the game itself, it's good. It was a wild one. It was a good game. Lots of scoring back and forth. Building was live. William Nealander, the Calgaryan.

He hates the leaves. Willie Stiles put on quite a show. Flames had some leads late, and then the parade of the penalty box began in the third period. They was a ton of them's. Daryl didn't like them all, in fact. Why don't we hear from Daryl Postgame about the Toronto media and Toronto officiating in Toronto the city, Toronto the teams, Toronto, Toronto, Toronto. Well, that's one thing I learned a long time ago, Eric, when you're in Chicago all those years. When you play and you come into Toronto, you know what goes on.

I won't say nothing more. But this is two games in a row. You guys had a lot of passes. So then write about it. Do you think they were all penalties tonight? I don't. It's just beautiful. I just love the man.

So then right about it. I write about it. So his entire career coming in from Chicago, you knew it. It's Toronto. The Leafs were going to get six power plays. Yeah. You knew it. Yeah.

They're diving into people's sticks, getting them in the face you know what's sad again though I hate cheer like there was a while I was trying to cheer for the Leafs I felt bad for them but I just I was sitting there watching highlights on Saturday night

Coletta's coaching my kid and we both look at each other and we're just like I we despise despise the Leafs like if you didn't play there then you had to play against them I think most of us just despise them there is this thing I don't have that for

I mean, I don't like Edmonton, but that's because my brother was an Oilers fan. But you don't have that for Vancouver even or Montreal, but Toronto, it's just, eh, make me burp puke. They are holier than thou, Rhett. When you visit Toronto,

let it be known. This is more important than any other place. And yes, we could go to highlights of a game, but someone broke a pane of glass at Leafs practice. We'll lead with that. It's all part of it. They're just very,

good fans. They're very passionate. With the egos and the empty seats in the lower bowl. Players eat it up to a bunch of phonies. And now Gio's there. I'm trying to cheer for them. You've always cheered for Gio, that's right. You're a geo guy for sure. Surprised you're not wearing

the jersey today. Rider guy with Gio. Since he was a kid, I gave him his first Christmas in the NHL. Christ's sake. He's like my own son. Yeah, he woke up alone in your home. What a Christmas it was. Hello? Red. They fall in

overtime after a penalty three seconds in from Jonathan Huberto, which felt like a long line of high sticking penalties on the night. I don't know how we grade this game when three of the five goals, the Leafs had were on the man advantage and they had six power play opportunities. And it's not even like the penalty kill was bad. It's like, yeah, they've got four elite offensive players up front. Look at this. It can hardly drop the puck without taking the penalty.

There you go. Mr. Armstrong from like way back. in the day in Frontiers, Saskatchewan, right when I started hockey, he said, keep your stick on the ice. You got to keep your stick. I mean, Mr. Armstrong knew that. What did your dad say about assists and goals? What was that one again? That's a good one, too.

Every time, every time, every time I use this. Every time for the history of hockey, the history of the game, all of it. Every single game ever played. Every time there's an assist, every one, yeah, all of hockey, any time there's ever once. mean an assist. Every time there's an assist, there's a goal. Let that sink in.

Okay. Flames fall over time. They get a point in Toronto. Without exception. So there's no exceptions. Zero exceptions to this rule. Well, I hope they're all. Even if they go back afterwards and add an assist that wasn't there.

Still a goal. Still had to be a goal. Yeah, that's right. That's a good point. They've never added an assist to a play that didn't have a goal, have they? Not to my recollection. No, some funky thing. can happen in Montreal. That's where they play tonight,

coast to coast. Shay Perry. I hope Darrell will pass along this wisdom from Frontier that assists lead to goals. What do we need to know about? I think any of those Watch you assist here. Any of those guys on the

on the see that's good players making a difference winning games for you. We could have some need a little bit of that top end guys dominating. What is your original point? Anyway. Do you think any of the flames guys will wake up at 3.30 and go for Montreal smoke meat?

I think that was my tradition. What do you mean, wake up? From the pregame nap. Oh, 3.30 in the afternoon. Yeah. This is something you've done, obviously. I'd be napping. I would be napping right now in about three.

Yeah, three. I like to give myself some time. Three o'clock, hop out of bed, throw on the suit, head on over, get a month, you're all smoked meat. Which place are you going to? Schwartz. Schwartz? Whatever was close because it depended

in what hotel you stayed at. Now, would you dream of the smoked meat during your pregame nap? I don't know, but now that I've seen that, I've got to find myself, there's got to be something around here that's similar to that, isn't there? Not as good, but

similar? I smell a business venture, Rhett. You're an idea guy. Let's go. You are an idea guy. Does that look good? Oh my goodness. So good. Yeah, we've got pictures of just piles of smoked meat sandwiches all of a sudden. Thank you, Alex.

Our mouths are sweating. Prick. Calgary's lines looks like the same as Toronto for morning skate today. That means Phillips remains in playing with Backland and Rizitschka. Fourth line, Coleman Zahornow Lewis. Come on, Zahorna. I know he was, what, was minus two against the least? I like, like Darrell said.

I like the big center in both games. I too like the big center at both games. There's some tools there. Yeah. Like it's... I like the lineup in this Saturday night's game and yeah. I like that spot for Phillips. We talked about where a spot for him to succeed was.

I like that there. There's some familiarity with Rizitschka and Backland. There's a long history of being a good place to play as a winger's next to him. It's not odd, but to new listeners, it might be surprising. They'd listen to what we tell them to do. And eventually they'll come around and get their ass sorted out. That's what kind of happens with the flames is they don't want to seem like too obvious that we're coaching and making all the moves. But eventually they figure it.

And I'm, because I'm 100% positive. I said put Phillips with Backland and Rizekka. I was suggesting Rosie, you wanted him with Backland. Everyone's a winner. Yeah. We know this isn't new about how big and strong Rizitschka is and why it's frustrating when he kind of disappears.

We've seen a cup. I'm trying to remember who it was. somebody went to hit him in the corner last week, landed right in his ass. Yeah. And Rizhika didn't move. And that cut to the net the other night against Toronto. Yeah. The guy, the D-Man had no hope.

That guy is a brick shit house. Was it Sandine trying to get out of him? I think, yeah. He cut right to the net, shrugged him off, didn't even impede him one bit. This guy, keep it going, Rosie. Yeah. He, you talk, yeah, he's got all the tools. No, this guy has all the tools.

he's a beast. Well, and I hope, and Rhett would know more than we do, but I hope when a guy does have a stretch of it's like, okay, he is consistently hitting that bar as coach wants. Once that's flicked up, maybe it's easier to stay there because it took him a while in the A and then he dominated per Conroy at that level. He's had a good little run here.

We haven't seen the weeks between good performances like it was prior to this season. Rosie. That was a question or not. Rosie. I told you that years ago. I told you that Anderson was going to be the number one and Pinders like Valamaki's the number one.

That's so I such high on. Valamaki. Habs are dinged up. Monaghan, foot. Matheson, out. Gallagher out. Bryson, long term. Price long term.

David Savard, out. Juran. Missing. Their last in, or bottom 10 in the league in a lot of categories. Well, then win flames. Exactly. Don't screw it up. Don't Columbus this thing.

Well, And it's going, Jake Allen's going. And he'd Jake Allen them, what, a week and a half ago? How many Jake Allenings do you get a year? Can't be more than one, right? He made 45 saves against the flames going back to December 1st, 21 of them in the third period. They, of course, lose that game two to one on the power play goal by Caulfield. Alan was very...

Has a long history of... Has a long history of shutting down the flames. It was a Christopher Gibson. It really is. Yes, it really was. Go way back. Habs bottom 10 in Power Play Goals for, Shots for, goals against, shots against.

You need one. Go get it. Missing bodies, too. There's that blue line. Yep, it's still there. Didn't we hack on these guys the other day and then they beat us? Well, we did. And the thing is, Matheson, who we kind of ripped on and he was decent that night.

Even he's gone now. Yeah, he's back out. Jordan Harris and who, what? Kovaevich. I think I worked at that guy branded back in the 90s. Rhett, you like an old-fashioned fan fight? because here's the thing. There's some venues in the NHO where you can get a fight.

It depends on if I win or not. Do I, well, you get to win the fight or do I lose the fight? You can officiate the fight. Now, the thing about the new rink at ASU where the Yotes are playing is there might not be as many fans, but the ones that are there, they're fucking in. And well served.

Yeah, take a listen. Give us some volume. Watch the red shirt beating up on Pasternak there. Yeah. His Pasternak's girlfriend's coming in to help. Oh, lawnmower start there. The old peyote. Oh.

She's a chick, dude. Dumbies don't realize. She's a chick, dude. These guys don't realize that you've got to elevation. There goes the ground. Higher ground. You want that high ground.

And there's like six police within 20 paces. I don't know if their boots are tied together or what. They're not in there real quick. Play it out. It's like on the ice with two big guys. Go you got Chris Simon and throwing beers. Is that Princey in the red shirt? He looks like Princey. He's got some reach. Look out. I thought he was out sick that day last three. Prince he's got

reach careful. Oh no Princey you caught his girl. What are you doing? You know what? Princey did you think that was past there? Did she sneak in behind there? You can't be punching. Oh, that girl's a chick bro. We do not condone any of this act. No, no. behavior. We apologize on behalf of Princey. Unless it's called for. Unless it's called. For his lewd behavior.

Yeah. You got to remove anything that says Flames Nation from your socialist. Prince. Look at his black guy. That guy. Look at him. He's hiding his face here. He's in his face.

Yeah. Hat down low. I would have fled the country too. I would take up on. I'm going to raise your spirits, Rhett, because even though the bills didn't cover, there were some pretty sexy plays. And that quarterback's looking like he's back to,

world dominating Josh Allen's self. Have a look at this. She's like, everyone's covered? Screw you. Planet going, oh, oh, I can't. Nope, no. Ooh. Zink.

Almost lands it. That's the rotissary right there. It's beautiful. And not to be outdone. The rotisserie. How about the whole backflip from the tight end? Look at this. Dawson knocks down at the goal line.

got on the end zone knocks you draw them offside CJ Mosley you gave them life and he is in beautiful how about that toady how about oh tommas did it again he finds ways to throw a football like we haven't seen which sounds hard because it shouldn't be that complicated to throw a football and yet watch this see what Andy Reid wants to do with something like that he calls his place to the opposite side the homes he'll just chuck it out and it's right and if it was once you'd be like yeah It's a one-off, but we saw him switch to his left hand a few years ago. There's underhand stuff. It's just like, unbelievable. And good luck figuring out which running back is going to score all the touchdowns in Kansas City.

There's been three of them. That's how I have to throw. I have to throw underhand. I wonder if he's got bad shoulders. Look at Warner here. Yeah. It's like a sideways shot put. That's good stuff.

You know who was ready to party on Saturday? Not me because I just re-talked. but the Redster and bars full of people all over Jolly Old England. Look at this. They're about to, you know, they throw their drinks in the air when they get a goal. So here's the live shot. Was it Harry Kane from the spot? This you could show, right?

You're not going to get gonged for this or are you going to get us gonged again for this? This isn't FIFA coverage. This is some Lugan's in a huge bar. All right. They're going to throw their beer. Get ready. Oh, England's out of the World Cup. Sorry, guys.

Oh no, you lost to France, your rivals. Oh, dear. So was this you trolling England fans? No, it's just you're used to see in those videos where they all throw beer up and it's like, this is SeaWorld, this is crazy. It's like the Venetian fountains and instead, oh, everyone grab your forehead.

There's no fountains of Venetian, but. Apparently it does. Your final four, Argentina against Croatia. Be the Bellagio for sure. France against Morocco. And remember how easy that, well, maybe he's, It isn't an easy group with Canada

because there's world number two Belgium and the two other teams are in the semifinals. I told you we needed pot two or three. You got all pissy at me talking about pot four, pot two, pot three. Look what happens when you're in pot four. What's a pot? Is smoking pot or what are you talking about?

Raising money for a close to home and the adopt a family initiative. Better people than us. We didn't hear about your new stove that you were going to cook on either.

Better people than us. 10 p.m. on Wednesday, the donations and the auctions will all come to a close. I wanted to, we've been highlighting a few of them. The team builder experience, some of these has come up. There's a lot of these that are starting to come along. The team builder experience provided by ATB financial, John Winwick and the people at ATB came through and said, why don't we give you one of these?

We've got one of these team builder experiences. Friday, March 10th, Flames versus Anaheim Ducks, you will get 25 tickets, 25 seats, press level at the Saddle Dome, food and pop voucher for each attendee. We have these tickets. It's an interesting one, because it's all digital now. You don't get that. The Flames have sent you 25 tickets for the, oh, okay, that's a lot. So we have them. We are ready to go.

The current bid, I think, is $520. Let's go. We're talking about $25. You're taking 25 people to the game. Let's go. Food and baby? This is like locked and loaded work party, right? Like that, boom.

Go to the site. You know what else that's great? Would be great for? A hockey team. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Tets hockey for sure. See, it's food and pop, right?

I think that's kind of how it's geared. Like, oh, we only got 15, 16 players. You're going to need some parents to look after these kids. Let's go. 25 seats, ATB financial coming on board. Nationgear.ca is the website. You go through the Flames Nation link. You'll find them there.

We have 10, I believe, in all experiences up for auction. They are tremendous thanks to everybody who's donated them. We're going to raise some money here for the adoptive family. Get some families around a Christmas tree this year with closer to home. The other way to do it and encouraging you to do so, donations. at our, again, through flamesnation.ca, you'll find the link on the top, Barnburner Top Shelfel. You can donate directly through there. For every donation of 10 or more bucks, you get a South Street Burger Burger

Voucher. Burger. Burger. And if you do 25 or more, you'll be in for one of two draws, one for a men's watch, one for a lady's watch, courtesy of gem by Karatee, which is the same as Justin from Viena Nova. So really coming on to... Well, Justin, jump it in with some Tissau watches. Love that. And I mentioned this on... and I'm going to do it again, but I mentioned this on Friday,

you weren't there for it, Red. Our buddy, Greg, not only did he hook Ryan and I up with incredible stakes, check for $5,000. How about that? To the adoptive family. Close your home. Just 5K, boom, go.

Sent the package. Here's some steaks. Here's some potato salad. Oh, and also some gift cards that will give away to people that donate will take some random names of people who have donated. They're going to win stuff from Bonton. and threw in a check for $5,000. Just a check in the box, too,

right under the potato salad. That gives me the goosebumps. Not special. Awesome. We can see who's, we can't see who's bidding on these, but we get initials. Yeah.

And I'm seeing some familiar initials, which, it's good. It's great. I mean, buckle up for a few of these. Love it.

Retoxing. If you're looking for that, did you get your Hubey Mania shirt? Is there a T-Booze on there? Is there a T-Booze guy? Go and take a look. You can go on there and look. Get your Hubey-Mania t-shirts.

Hubey Mania running wild. If you need a little something, there it is. Get on board, Flames Nation. That's at Nationgear.ca as well on that Flames Nation link. You got a Lugin in your life that loves the flames? Here's your Christmas gift.

Yeah. So get on it. Get on it. And also if, uh, I was going to say, get to our new YouTube. If you're not on the new YouTube, then you're not watching this. But I guess if you're listening to the podcast or you're watching this after,

go subscribe to our new YouTube channel because that is the place where you're going to find this show and more content. We are going to have different stuff from this show. All the Pinder reports. interviews are all going to have their own kind of their own links, but we're also going to be putting up more content, exclusive content, different, dumb, dumb, dumb stuff on our YouTube. By the way, people listen to you, hey? Like I'd usually like half the time I listen and then I throw out most of what I listen to,

but like you said, we needed this cavalry bid up. Yeah, yeah. It went from 350 to 750 over the weekend. One bid. These are, and I'm unbelievable. It's a great cause, but on the flip side, The people that have come through with the experiences, they are, you can't buy them.

They are one of a kind, may never happen again. You keep telling people, you got to get in on the bull bus and one. Over 1,200 now. And it's, it's for four people, it's still a bargain. And somebody has really overpaid on the barn burner one, just me and you and coming in here

and then going for dinner. But yeah, you know, whatever. It's for a good cause. It'll be great. For a good cause. Is that our wives just trying to keep us in for another night? I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is.

Tomorrow on the show, Frank Sarah Valley, he's at, what, Board of Governors meetings? Yeah, I saw some people tweeting from Palm Trees, so they must be pretending to change the league right now. Why don't you send me to the Board of Governors meetings? I could report. I think it's all you have to do is probably raise your hand and be ready, kind of like when you're going to be the mayor here, but you forgot to put your name on the ballot. That's all you had to do. You would have won. Raise your hand.

Say you're ready. We need some of cover, and we should all be covering the Board of Governors meetings. There's a lot of stuff that goes down at the law. I could cover the hotel bar pretty good, I think. He's got the pool. Dean, you got the pool? I'll take the pool. Wrette, swim up bar? And it's the same time every year?

There are multiple times throughout the year. There's board of governors, there's GM meetings. It's only nice weather and fancy, fancy, fancy, fancy places. Not doing a lot of these in Spruce Grove. Yeah, you don't have a Tiso watching or not allowed in. No, can't do it. And then Habs and Flames tonight. How do we feel?

Markstrom back in, final of the three-game trip. He has been much best. better, albeit still allowing early goals. I just feel like now the early goals, it's like there's some breakdowns around, like, line A. Right? I think Daryl has their attention right now. I think they get her done tonight.

His idiot's better win, that's all. They better win is absolutely right. Somebody asked as well, now that we're not, because this is our own YouTube channel, we're not throwing to anything, are you still going to end the show with your Oilers message every show? Oh. Because you don't need to tee anything up,

and we don't, you know, just the way to. knows. What? It's something else. They do suck. Yeah. Have they been winning? They beat Minnesota. They went off from there.

I don't know. Oilers. Have a, have a great day. You didn't bring up the cheating Giorano again, either like he. Yeah, well, look at that right at time.

I've always had Gio's back. I've always had Gio's back. Abandon them at Christmas, try to trade them, try to trade them. Bad cap. I was getting up to a cup. He wasn't going to win a captaincy.

Yeah. Yeah. Always had us back. Bye, Rhett. Bye, everyone. Geo Nation's coming up next. See you tomorrow, buddies. All the best.

All the best. Bye-bye. See ya.
