You like that, eh, D? Oh, he's such a boy. Right. It's like, what the... Oh, what a boy. How could you... You feel ashamed, don't you? I thought you'd like that since it's your...

I love it, yeah. I just wonder, because there's two things there. Rhett just sent a... I've never seen this video of... Was that the day... Day one? Day one. of when back in 2020 when they brought home a little puppy dog you're adopted homie yeah the dog that's

living it with in my house they got left on your front step what it got uh but it arrived at red house what a little boy oh don't show it got who yeah what a cutie you did you took a quick little leak there I think I had to go Rortress. Is shoveler on power washing duties in the summer? Does it fall under the same file? What the hell's going on? My yard.

Don't show anymore. That's my house and shit. Get it off. It's some walls and the door, yeah. Yeah. See, that's how we, you start with some positives, right? It's kind of deflect from

a pretty sobering game last night. Here's a puppy video. Look, that says. There's also the whole... Peter doesn't like humans, but loves dogs. That's a good way to start. Also, I have a question. So, like, if I went and got another dog,

does that make me more deranged and idiotic? No. No, oh. Not at all. More mature. If that dog shows up on Dean's doorstep, then yes. And Dean would take it. Of course he would.

He loves dogs. He can try to trade for one of his humans. Yeah. One for one. Taylor Hall for Adam Larson. Maybe. How's your dog? How's your goddamn dog?

He's all right, he's fine. Welcome to the program. This program is a presentation of Bet365. It's the world's largest sports betting platform, and it's going to get a workout this weekend. Oh, get ready. Get ready, 365. I hope you're ready.

And then we take that money and send it over to the youth centers of Calgary. They are helping to make a difference in the youth in our city. Yeah. Good people doing good things over there. Well, I mean... It's Friday. It is Friday. I had that.

I mean, it's a lot of clips. Friday is Hawaiian shirt day. So, you know, if you want to, go ahead and wear a Hawaiian shirt and jeans. Oh, boy. Or is it or is it Cavalry Day? It's God damn Cavalry Day, Ryan. It's Cavalry Day. Screw Hawaii shirt day.

Tommy Wilden Day. Holy. Take that Pumas. Incredible. The local soccer team beat a team we've never heard of. A team in Mexico. It's the first ever time in the history of this country that a Canadian team beat a Mexican league team.

So congratulations to Tommy. If it was a dog, you'd be doing backflips. If a dog beat Pumas, you'd be so excited. So a Canadian team has never beaten the Mexican team. Not from the CPL, no. Well, that's the distinction there. I'm not trying to take the shot off. I'll look. I don't know that an MLS side from Canada has.

Like, this is a legit thing. I just saw it in the history of the CPL, which is seven years. Seven years. That's a very nice statement for a league seven years old to beat a Mexican side with the history that Puma says. sure is now if the cavalry is playing out of the CPO are they representing Canada so is the rest of Canada behind us goddamn right there also forge is playing but they lost their opening leg to a Mexican side Monterey I believe what who else is playing forges in there because they won the regular season calves are in there

because they won the final so you two representatives from the CPL numerous Mexican sides. I think there's about a dozen MLS teams. You get teams from the tropics in there as well. Well, you'll lose those. Costa Rican team as well. I'll go to Costa Rican. If they get to, uh, Dan, Yan, if the CPL Cavalry, uh, spreadsheet, uh, WestJit team. Yeah.

Makes it. A matchup against the Costa Ricans. Yeah. Also, they are playing in Mexico City next week. I really want to go. I'm not going there. What? No. Oh, you go there with your shirt on, get.

Not going to go with my shirt. Oh. Yeah. I get stabbed and bags of piss thrown on me. I'll be completely up front. Mm-hmm. I will go to Costa Rica. Mm-hmm.

I'm probably not going to get to the game. Yeah, it'll be like the Jasper Pondock tournament. But we'll go fishing. We'll go and I'll hang out. You'll wear a jersey. Go fishing. Sure. Yeah.

Mm-hmm. Anyhow, you know, congrats to Tommy Weilden Jr. Just continuing to add to his already. impressive resume. Well, here's the problem, though. Oh. He's gone.

You know what? He was almost gone. TFC was hiring for it. Exactly. He's doing too good. He's not going to stick around. He's going to coach his way out of Calgary. I don't like that at all.

Cost of team? Come on. Yeah, maybe. Is there big money to be had? Coaching MLS? Is there big money at stake? The largest sport on planet Earth? Yeah, there's a bit of dough around it.

I'm just, you know, curious, because, you know, money talks. But you know, I mean, we could put together a little one of those caries, the online things, get some money on me, run a bingo or a casino night. To keep. To keep Tommy. To keep Tommy. Reds on top of the meat raffles.

My meat raffle idea. Yeah. It's kind of. Yeah. It's explained it a thousand times. I still don't. I still don't really get it. But I do believe it's a great time.

I think it's going to be great. Yeah. man let's uh what time we got yeah we got dregs coming up i assume uh but we should probably talk about you know the thing a deep do you want to dive well you know what mccloud law for the opening statements for mccloud law whatever your your situation we've talked about peter klein for years he is the very best if it's a disability insurance claim issue that you're dealing with maybe you've been injured now all of a sudden hey where's my insurance company that I've been paying into and it's, hey, we've got your back.

And then I can't seem to really, you get Peter Klein involved. That's what you do. He is the very best. He'll get you the peace of mind and the benefits that you've paid for and deserve. MacLeod-dashlaw.com. Yeah, sobering night yet again. I think I used that word the other day. It was like, oh, okay, yeah.

It was another one of a, yeah, mm-hmm, oh, kind of night for the flames at the dome. Through the first period, they're up on nothing. The goal goes in. Hey, no, offside. Perfect. Don't be cheating. Chips. One nothing.

Saw chips yesterday. Good guy. He took the man's hand. Anyway, but then the second period started. Damn, boy. Damn. Shit. That nature's deal is looking okay.

The more I watch it. Yeah. Shot 17 to 4. They get three goals. And I'll say this, don't look back. I think that there was, the flames did score in the third and they got some shots on.

But it really felt like Colorado felt like we've got three. That's probably going to be enough to win. We'll probably still, we'll get another one maybe along the way. But let's just tuck this sucker, tuck it into bed and call it a night. Kim McCarley's coming home, I think. Okay.

Notice to him a bit. Yeah. I feel like that was a miss on our part. Yeah, that was an automatic. He was going to score at least one. Yeah, yeah. I looked up at one point in like early the 30, it's seven shots already.

Like, holy, he is fitting in. Okay. Better than I thought. He's getting comfy. Yeah. You know what? It's like when you get a new pair of shoes or jeans or whatever, once they start to get worn in a little bit, it's like, ooh, these are, these are great. I've got new slips. They're feeling good, Dean. You have a phone, Ryan? You have a phone.

I'm just trying to mess with Jack since he's not in studio here. I pulled the game logs for Natchez and Raton, and it's very early. There's no time to declare winners. It's very early. But it's safe to say, the abs, they were betting that Natchez could come in and give them similar production to Rantan on the top line. He's been bleeping awesome. I think he's at eight points or seven games. He's getting a ton of shots. And, you know, it's also early on the other side. He's playing with his best friend, Sebastian

Aho, but it's been real quiet for Rantanin through six games. Right hand, left hand. It's all comes down to right hand, left hand shots. Handedness. Yeah. Natchez, three goals, five helpers in those seven games. And yeah, it's, it looks like it's picking up steam. And it has not yet fit in for Colorado, for Carolina. And they're not winning, which doesn't help. So I think they probably will at some point, but so far the returns are in and it looks just fine for the avalanche, to be fair, who got crushed universally in this, in the media world for this trade. Anyway, it's not about that. Flames.

They have lost three of four and five of seven. They have played some very good teams. And against those very good teams, they have not fared very well. It's that fair to say? The Washington's, the Toronto's of the world that are high-scale. I think we view them as even though Colorado is where they are. They were a championship team not long ago.

I think we've had high-skilled. Although we looked at their lineup yesterday, and it was, we weren't intimidated. Yeah. Toppe heavy. Well, that's why we're on the internet. Top's pretty good though. No, it was the Wollinsky and, you know, all these, you know, the bottom half of that roster,

they'll add to. I think that's why they wanted Jack Drury to. He gives them more depth. They're also missing a bunch of guys with injury. You didn't have the Chushkin last night or Manson on the back. Well,insky, wasn't that his old man that owned the car parts company and Tommy? boy or whatever was. Willinsky Auto.

Zalind. America is making American Pirates. Get some ice for the, uh, this guy's marbles and, uh, let's get some bubbly. What are you doing? Do we fare better if ball?

I mean, how much impact does ball have? I think he's a significant piece because they haven't been able to replace what he does. You need someone steady to play with Rasmus and Weeger and they have no one steady on the left side. I'd like them to. try Soloviov, but you just know what they will?

Quiet and holds the fort. And that's what he does. Yeah. They got Solov into a practice. Well, I mean, there's a morning skate yesterday. He'll be on Saturday, I bet. I know. Well, let's get to someone who's not on the internet,

who's actually respected and very good at what he does. It's the crystal water plumbing and heating. Insider Hotline, 23 years of experience. Rubbing elbows with Crystal Waters yesterday. Good. guys, good guys. I'll tell you what, they're the best.

Crystal water's plumbing heating. They, uh, what's that? Are they getting the barn burner bump? They're getting the barn burner bump. They really are. Yeah, things are going well. Call them at 403-219, 4100 or check them out at crystal clear calgary.com. Your crystal clear choice for home comfort.

Our, our insider, TSN hockey insider. Darren joins us here in the show. Hello, Driggs. How are we feeling? I'm feeling good. Yeah. No complaints. Short sleep.

we had the regional game. I wanted whoever was responsible for picking Toronto at Seattle last night fired because it was a 10 o'clock Eastern start. You know, Toronto at Calgary, 9 o'clock, no problem with that. I mean, people are going to watch that in all Canadian matchup, but Toronto and Seattle, yeah, taking one for the team. But no, aside from being sleep deprived, all good, ready for the weekend. See, that tells you how, I mean, that's, you've got that tough Saskatchewan in you.

We piss and moan when it's an 8.30 start in Anaheim or so I was like, 830. What the hell are we talking about? The griping since we've not had to get up to do morning radio has been a little bit easier to take. Different. Sure. We are ones, we are very south. You know, we'll leave that in Sportsnet. See, well, who does that?

Because it's the thing out here where they're all, all the regional, everything's on Sportsnet. Out there, you get the TSN package, you get the sports net packets. I mean, that's, that's a huge draft error right there. Well, I get it. And look, it could have been horse trading, right? You know, in some sort of competition with Sportsnet where they say, okay, we'll give you that Calgary game on Tuesday. But in order to get the Calgary game,

you've got to take that Thursday, Seattle. With all due respect to the Cracken, it's just... That's right. I don't know. I mean, you guys know. I mean, Eastern Canada stirs the NHL drink. So how many poor Toronto Maple Leafs fans would have stayed up until 1 a.m. to watch a conclusion of that one. God, that's late.

Yeah. Not great. At 3-1, you probably head to pillow. That was what, second period? Yeah, I mean, you know, for a good chunk of it, you're thinking, okay, well, maybe Anthony Stolars can hold on to the shout-out. What a story. That would be coming back first game since December 12th, I think.

But beyond that, there wasn't a whole lot of intrigue in that one. But, you know, the break is right around the corner, right? Games tonight, games tomorrow. weirdly, and I'm not going to drive the conversation this way, but weirdly, there's two games on Sunday before the Four Nations break. And one of them includes, huh? On Super Bowl Sunday.

Well, before this break. Yeah, I should look at the times. It could be afternoon games for all I know here. Hold on. Either way, I didn't mean to derail you there. No, I guess the point of, yeah, they're both afternoon games. So you've got Utah and Washington and the lightning taking on the kids. Canadians in Montreal at 1 o'clock Eastern.

Well, Washington has no players involved in the four nations. So they don't give a rat to you know what about the NHL schedule. They're just booking holidays. They're good for the break. So we're waiting now on Sydney Crosby. So the news sounds more progressive. And Canada is encouraged because he was a participant in full practice today. So they're encouraged.

That's the word. They're not going to make the call. It doesn't sound like they're going to make that call until they have to on Monday, give them the weekend to work through. But let's say for S and Giggles here, that Mark Schifley would be the guy who would replace Sidney

Crosby if Sid can't go. Schifley, I was told he's got a trip booked and he's leaving tomorrow Saturday. And he wants to play for his country, obviously. So he's got to wait now until the conclusion of those Sunday

games and probably until Monday afternoon, until they make the full declaration. So he's supposed to go somewhere warm and sunny. Is he going to get a game of golf in on Sunday waiting for those games? I mean, Hegel, I don't know if Sorrelli's going to play. He didn't play last night. Hegel, Sorrelli, and Braden Pointer, the three Tampa Bay players playing Sunday afternoon.

So it's just weird that the NHL would have those two games scheduled on Super Bowl Sunday when you know you're going into the br- I mean, as condensed as the schedule is, they couldn't squeeze two games in, you know, at some point, I don't know, the whole. It's the same thing for McKenzie Uigh or Dregs. They're going to replace the Translo. They said, oh, we'll make that announcement Monday. And it's like, well, Wings is going to be on a PJ Saturday night or Sunday morning going to the tropics, I'm guessing. Like, you're putting these guys in a tough spot because they do want to probably, you know,

that's not a guy that's had a ton of opportunities to play for his country. He was a cat. He wants to, obviously. Loved it. Yeah. Yeah. He's a guy that you don't worry about the fatigue of that whole thing. But you also, you know, you understand that he's got families, he's got plans.

He's probably got tens of thousands of dollars spent already. Sure. Yeah. It's a bit of a weird one. It is, and I'm a bit surprised that the players association, there's got to be an easy explanation for it. But the PA, you know, wants to make sure all the creature comforts are there from a player's perspective.

Clearly, clearly, that's a part of what they do. So to have this one kind of fall through the cracks like that is a bit weird. It's a bit strange. I'm not saying it because I'll say what Rett wants it. He doesn't think the players give a rat's ass. And I definitely about the foreign nations? Yeah. But I also watch highlights of the 96 World Cup today.

And that again, when was that? 96, the 96 World Cup. Thanks, Dickhead. What time of year? I think it was the fall if I remember, which I agree. It was all big difference. Big difference. You're getting ready for the year.

You're already, you're not. You're not beat the shit by the season. And we hadn't seen the Olympics at that point, right? This was the first, like, what was the time? Yeah, you're right. It was the two years before the Olympics. Yeah, it had been years and years like rendezvous 87 or whatever, whatever the hell it was.

It was in time. It wasn't at 2 a.m. in Nagano. Like, it was unreal. And that's where they're trying to build fellas that they want that back. And they're not starting with it. I know. And I don't like the time of year. I know.

But that is what they are trying to build. a tournament that when you watch the highlights, which I have the day later, be that good. You're speaking from fandom, which is great. And they want to build it and this and that. And the world was different in 96 and it was different in 86 and 7 and 72. All that is irrelevant. I'm speaking from sitting in the dressing room looking at the schedule going, holy F. Yeah.

I'd rather have the time off than do this. Yeah. And I'm not everyone. I agree with that. Captain Canada. I'm not like it's, I'm a different, but there has to be guys going,

saying the right thing. Yeah, I want to. And in the back of their heads going, who. Mexico's real nice right now. Well, and then a whole team going. Everyone's hanging out.

Yeah. How about the flip side of the event too, right? Like we're, we're focused on. you know, okay, it's a break for the majority of NHL players, for the fortunate group, you know, yeah, they're going to say the right things. They want to play for their country and all that. So the Florida Panthers, what do they have, eight, seven or eight participants in the four nations.

So there's a reasonable chance that several of their players are going to go to the end of this event, right? So now they've got two days between the end of the four nations and playing their next regular season game. So if we're willing to give the event the benefit of the doubt and expect that, okay, Canada, US, it's going to be a battle. It's going to be a physical battle out there. And I don't know, maybe that's expecting too much because, again, we want to make historical references to how great the international level of play can be. It's not too much.

Sorry for interrupting you. No, no, go ahead. The individual, your competition, once you're in that game, you're going, for broke. So they will compete their asses off. Once you're there doing it, you don't want to look across at those guys and hear an anthem or see, like, no, no, no. Once you're there, you're all in. I believe that fully. Okay. Yeah. And I guess, you know, think about the number of games of the Florida Panthers. And this isn't a woes me for the Florida Panthers. They're, happy. Paul Maurice is not complaining even a little bit. I mean, I might complain on

behalf of Paul Maurice, how is he not involved with Team Canada in any capacity? I mean, all they do is win in Florida. And he's had a pretty good run as a head coach. But it's just there's so much at stake here. There's so much. You think of the games of the Florida Panthers have played in the last two, three years? Yeah, final, final.

And now this. Yeah. Bonkers, you know, but again, this is how athletes. can be programmed, right? The schedule has been condensed for the last few years, number of years. So they're now used to it where you get maybe two, three practices a month. That's what they're used to now. So going into this event, playing at a high level, coming back, maybe having one day off,

light skate, then maybe you take the optional or a morning skate, and then you're playing a game. Yeah. Nobody's worried about it. Nobody's worried about it. If you are the Florida Panthers or another team, do you give those guys longer and can you? And then it comes back to the world, what about the fans that are paying for those tickets? Agreed. The NBA and the whatever the hell they call them.

And winning the division are at, right? Like, they're in a dog fight with the Leafs and who knows, there's still plenty of hockey left. Yeah, it's, I'm looking forward to the four nations I am, but I'm almost looking forward to it as much of being unsure as to what we, we're going to see and what we can expect. It frustrates me that it's not best on best. It can't be when you don't have Leon Driesettle or David Posternak or some of the great players, including the Russians involved. I understand current events in the state of the world

and why Russia won't be allowed back in, at least from a double IHF perspective, for another year. The IOC may have something different to say about that with the Olympics looming. It just seems more like a forced event on everybody. But if that's the case, and we're entertained by it as a fan, then the end result is what they're after. And that's generating more revenue. That's what it's all about.

I hope the hockey's good because the rest you can fix. You can move it to another time of year. You can add more teams. You can put it in different cities. You can price the tickets differently. You can do everything different as long as the hockey's good. If the hockey's no good, it's big problems. So the PA and the NHL are trying to grow this thing.

Well, we know what the cap projections are for the next three years. So they must be fairly confident that the revenues are going to continue to climb and climb and climb. I'm trying to think of an analogy or a comparison from a movie or something where you take an old athlete and you whip them back into shape to come and try and save the day. Because that's where we're at with Warner. We're getting, we're filling him full of. steroids and getting them on the treadmill because we need him back on the Flames blue line because

last night there was at least half of it that's HL caliber stuff. We got Jake Bean, we got Joel Hanley, we got Danil Miramanov. It's a fucking mess, dregs. And it's coming, and depending on which side you're on, for some fans, they're excited, Flames have lost five of seven. They've played top teams and have not looked good against them. They lost to the wings, who in fairness since, what, boxing day, have had one of the best records, if not the best record in the league. Seven in a row, best record in the league since the only's taken over.

Winnipeg, Washington, Toronto, Colorado have all either come through or hosted the flames and really had a good time doing it. Yeah. And it's been hard to watch. And Conroy makes the trade last week for players. and I know there's some fans that are frightened to death that he's going to do it again to get some help on the blue line. They need help on the blue line. But it's it's that mucky middle that they're in again.

And I guess I'm just curious. I am. I'm curious what Conroy is going to do here. And there is no trade freeze, right, over the four nations. No, no restrictions. I mean, there might be, you know, that, yeah, like, you're not going to upstage the National Hockey League in a spectacle event by, you know, loading up with another block.

But we did see, you know, the Ottawa senators in game seven last year trade for Linus Allmark, right? So anything is possible. It all depends on when you're able to execute. Yeah, I don't, honestly, Dean, I don't hear a ton around the Calgary Flames looking for defense, but they have to be, right? I mean, anytime you ask the general managers, they'll say the same thing. You know, we're adding pieces on depth, front on the back end, all that. It is curious, though, that they make that deal with Philadelphia,

and there's a defenseman there in Ristelainen, who I'm reasonably convinced he's going to get traded. It's going to be a good chunk, you know, just simply based on he's had a little bit of term left in his deal. But I wonder if he was part of even a bigger conversation, or if it was simply moving the deck chairs in the way that they did with Farabee and Morgan Frost coming in. And I like those guys.

We talked about this last. I like those players. But acquiring good quality defense, unless you're the Vancouver Canucks is, it's a bit of a challenge. It's not, meanwhile, 5-1 and one guys in their last seven. Like, they're winning a different way. It's 3-0 over the abs. They're 2-1 and overtime. Like, they're going to get comfy winning low-scoring games.

It looks like under Tocet. Yeah. Yeah. And, I mean, they've got Thatcher. Demko going now too, right? And that's the biggest thing. But, you know, we don't have to do a deep dive on Vancouver Canucks Blue Line. But when you look at it as a whole, that's an impressive group.

And they might be good on that back end for a while, you know, considering some of the pieces that they've got coming, including Victor Mancini, who they inquired from the New York Rangers who's touted as being a really, really good defenseman. So that's fine by talking. Don't forget, Adam Foot, all those guys with influence in the decisions of Tocke and how that team plays,

you darn right, they're going to lean on their goaltender, but they're going to have structure in their game. And they have to because, you know, the reality is they still have the same issue. Like, Leas Patterson isn't doing anything more

than he did prior to J.T. Mueller getting traded. And that's a problem. And that's, that's again why the Vancouver Caducks don't have a choice but to try and land another decent center. So there are more assets.

that are going to leave Vancouver moving forward. Yeah, I saw this morning, one assist in four, four games or something for Pedersen here this week. So that hasn't, hasn't changed. It's funny, you look at the Rangers have been better with Miller since the trade and the Canucks have been better without him. You guys could, and the Rangers have stunk before Christmas. You guys could have done this in November and probably just saved both of yourselves a whole lot of headache.

Well, and I'll tell you this, Vancouver would say they were happy to do this in December anyway. But, you know, Chris Derry didn't want to have to give up both the first round pick, which they used in, in the Pittsburgh deal, and Victor Mancini. He was willing to part with one of those, but not both. And they finally cave being the New York Rangers. And they made the deal that they could have made several weeks ago. Yeah.

What is Peterson out there, though? Like, you know what? Like, is the jury out for a guy making, how much is he making 11 and a half? And we don't know what he is. How's what? Yeah. That, that truly is the enigma that Elias Patterson is.

You know, like they believe he's coming into his prime. Still a young-ish player. They believe he can be a hundred plus point guy again, not based on what we're seeing, but that's what they believe when they look at at the talent level. I mean, guys, you know this.

I mean, it's so difficult to get stronger in season as a player. If you don't put in the work in the off season, and really all you're doing is maintaining, aren't you, right, throughout the course of the year? Like you're just, you're trying to stay healthy.

Yeah, everyone's got a different build. Some guys are trying to maintain weight. Some guys are trying not to put on weight because there's food all around, right? But it's the same thing. You're just trying to maintain one way or the other. And the knock on PD is that he's just physically not strong.

And as no lower body strength. So, you know, just simple body position, battling for pucks, you know, he gets pushed out of the play a fair bit. So, you know, he's relying on his hockey IQ, his vision, and his hands. And, you know, if the will to compete isn't there and you haven't necessarily put in that strengthening work in the offseason, it's going to come and bite you.

And it kind of feels like that's where Pedersen is. I'd be calling up Kyle Conner's nutritionist and whoever is it squats. What are we doing, Kyle? He's wiry, man. There's nothing to him. And he's a tough son of a bitch to play against and can he score, you know? Yeah. Yeah.

Well, and there's an intestinal fortitude there too, right? A fire that burns in the belly. And then look, let's give Pedersen the benefit for the benefit. of the note. Maybe it'll come in time. Maybe it'll come in time. But his time in Vancouver, again, has to be running out. Maybe it doesn't happen between now and the deadline because of everything they've done already. But I still think they're open to clean the slate. They want to give him time. But, you know, how much time? We've got the deadline looming March 7th. But does it drift into the summer? We'll have to see. Short month away, right? We have a couple days of months and fab. Like we're into 28 days of the deadline or something like that. interesting i know that everybody's buddy paul bisonette biz is taking some heat for criticizing connor badard on the broadcast i guess it was last night um and i'm not looking to jump on but i had i was doing some stuff here in my little room and i had the game on and was watching it's like you you've got a rookie head coach who's i mean feels very rookieish right he's he just doesn't

have yet the feel of an nchl head coach and a first overall pick who's got a world of skill, but I'm kind of on team biz on this one. And I'd not to say it's not going to turn around, but right now it's just kind of, you can see that he's, they're expecting to lose. He's just out there playing the game, making turning the puck over, not making smart plays. Yeah. It will work itself out. But it, I don't feel it will with that coach.

It just doesn't feel, you feel like it'd be intimidating. I would guess when you're a new coach, what are you going to do, start ripping the face of the franchise offer a spot for for him to be in no and and look i i can't appreciate conor baddard swinging back right i mean um there's no one that's above criticism in pro sport and and that includes you know some of the best and it's still you know unclear as to whether baudard is ever going to be be in that category we know at this age he's not that he's not that he's got a lot more work to do and it wasn't that long ago mark messier all of famer you know called him out for a play that he made or something that had happened.

And so, you know, to go after Beesonet in the fashion that he did, I can understand and appreciate it based on his level of frustration. And he's tired of being, you know, to a degree of media punching bag. But Beesonet's job on that panel is to call it as he sees it. He's not just comedic relief, right? He's just, he's not the clown on the panel. This guy played in the National Hockey League. And so he knows what he's talking about.

And if that's what he sees, then that's what he's paid to deliver. So Connor's going to have to get used to it because if his skin is that thin, there's a lot more coming from, you know, heavier, you know, kind of analysts and what thought than Paul B. Senet, because Paul Beesonet, as he's proven time and time again,

is more player friendly no matter the caliber or player than not. See, I put this on the organization a ton. Who have they given him to play with? Like right now he's playing with Ryan Donato, who has been a fourth long, and on waivers for like a half decade. And Landon Slaggart, who's played less than 25 games in his life.

Those are the guys they've given. I agree, man. And it's like, oh, well, Nick Falino's here. He's like, great. So you can watch a guy that seven years ago was a really good player and he's tough and he's a good leader. Okay. But like, who's he actually going to play with?

Like, name the best guy he can play with. And then they fired the coach that they raved about when it was like, he wasn't going. I was like, what did you expect with this roster? And a good coach, too. Like Luke was a respected coach and talked about how great he was. And then quick, quick hook there. Like, I just, why did Chicago think they were going to be good?

Look at the roster. And running out of assets too, right? Like, you know, at what point, you know, the Seth Jones rumors are going to continue to percolate, right? There's a good chance he gets traded. You know, I wouldn't have them top 10. I don't think on a trade bait. because of that contract. But, you know, if you're trading these pieces out,

you've got to get something that matters back, right? So they're involved in that trade that ends up having Rattan and go to the Colorado Avalanche. And I heard somewhere that Chicago didn't even know who they were retaining on, which is loose. Just a dollar amount. Yeah, but like what? You're not going to Puckpedia and calling it.

Here's 50% of a salary that I'm retaining on an unrestricted free agent pending. Like, who is it? Yeah. Like, come on. Like, what are we talking about here? And then you trade Taylor Hall for nothing. And again, we can debate whether or not Taylor Hall has any game left. I just, to throw him in at that point for a third round pick coming back or whatever it turned out to be,

that's just not asset management to me. It isn't. I'm sorry, it just isn't because you get closer to the trade deadline. How do you know? Maybe Taylor has a good run. Maybe somebody has an unexpected injury. I don't know. But we've seen some players that you thought were out of gas.

All of a sudden get a second round pick in return on deadline day because, you know, player A, B, C, D aren't available. So I guess I better grab E because I need a winger to help me out. It's bizarre what's going on and what's been allowed to go on and Chicago. Do guys in the room care what, I mean, obviously care, but do they focus on what the return is? Because I'm thinking, if I'm in the Hawks room, be like, well, there goes Taylor Hall.

And what would we get back? Not a player. That's a terrible deal. So we lose a guy and the deal makes no sense. I just feel like that'd be salt in the wound or do guys even give it. Well, I'm trying to imagine being in that room where the season's over again. And it's kind of, I think that you'd be like, oh, that wasn't. I think the comment would be the same as we're making.

You probably could have done better, but it's probably not changing the outlook on the players, right? There's no hope in that room right now. It's, you're grinding through. I'll drop this in, even though I know our chat will, it comes alive. Oh, when's oiler talk? But I am curious.

There's a little break here. Vegas has, whatever we want to call it, they've come back to Earth, hit the skids. The Oilers are now tops in the Pacific. and have looked good. And I'm curious what will they do come deadline time? It's still very much win now. Vegas and a lot of places have them as the odds-on favorite to be a champion.

What will the work be for the Oilers here heading into the deadline? You know, dabbling is the way it sounds right now. And, you know, I think they need like a third line, third, fourth line split penalty, kill forward. You know, again, that's, I'm sure the coaches are, are putting together their wish list, and then they submit that to Stan Bolman, and he goes, well, we can't afford that, can't afford that. So let's, you know, go down the list here. And they'd like to bolster their blue line. I mean, they bring in Klingberg, and I think that he's been a good ad, worst case, okay with the expectation is, the expectation being that he'll get better. But I think that if the

right pieces available, they'll get in there. You know, there's been some speculation around their goaltending. And I think that's fair of any top contending team, though, right? If you don't have a legit game-breaking goalie, and there aren't that many that do, and teams recently have won Stanley Cups without that, you know, you're always asking yourself, okay, either one of our goalies, in this case, Skinner and Pickard, capable of stealing a game in the Stanley Cup final. and if the answer to that all year long has been no

well then you have to have conversations with general managers about other possibilities. Aside from John Gibson and Anaheim, who else is available that's going to move the needle for Edmonton or it's better than Stu Skinner? And I think that that's probably why goaltending isn't top of mind for Stan Bowman and it's more on defense than that penalty kill forward. Are they, it sounds like nurses had a really

nice bounce back season because he was almost unplayable in the playoffs last year. They had to separate him and C.C. or it was over. Groberg was so huge in that. They could keep both those guys playing. Is Ty Emerson really a top four guy? Has he been good there with him? Or is it Klinberg playing there? I still see

three top four defensemen when I look at that roster. You probably want four if it's your last year of cheap price. Yeah, I agree with that. And I think the hope is, and you're kind of selling that hope when you bring in John Klingberg, is that reality is he's not going to be a top four guy,

but he can help you on the power play. What if he is a top four? What if he plays better? What if this hip resurfacing, you know, he's had so many hip surgeries, but this is the latest one, right? It's the Patty Kane procedure. You know, what if he just,

well, he says he feels great. So if that's true and he can continue to, you know, work in his game and elevate his play. And he slides into that top four, man. That is terrific. because that takes some of the heat off. But I'm with you. When I look at that team, I see the same thing.

But they're also running a bit low on assets, frankly, in that organization. And that's where you go back to losing Broberg and the hallway, right? And you had made them a cloud deal. You lose those two guys in the fashion that they did to the offer sheets to the same of those blues. And it takes depth of your organization, but also takes to, tradable assets out of your holsters. So everybody is something to work with, but I don't think Edmonton's going to be big game hunting.

And when I think of top four available D, you have to have the assets where you're taking a piece out of your roster that you just can't afford to. And I don't think Edmonton can afford to do that either. So just looking here, one o'clock Eastern. Got time for a little afternoon per there, Drix, kind of shut the mill for about 45. hour 15?

Boys, I got about a 15 pound loin on the smoker right now. Wow. That's what I got. And they didn't have the big ones? They didn't have the big ones? Yeah, it's like, I can't even, like, the screen isn't

widen up for how this chunk of pork is. And it was one of those, I'm not going to brag, but I go to the butcher and they didn't have any on display and I'm panicking. It's Super Bowl weekend here. I'm like, well, I got a fine one. Like, you have anything in the back? And he comes out with this slab.

And he goes, I'll just cut a chunk off that. Unless you want me to weigh it up and see. I'm like, no, no, no, no. And it could be expensive. I'm like, it's pork. How expensive can it be? So anyway. Get it to me.

Yeah. As we started, it was coming in at about 134, I think. temperature-wise. So you pull it at 145, so it's probably right there now. So that's what I got going, man. Very nice. Let it cool. It's got to rest. Let it cool. And then you

thinly shave and sandwiches for soup. Are you like Kramer? Have you got the meat slicer going in the kitchen? No, but I've got a big ass knife. That's like a razor blade. That thing. Nice. I expect

pictures, dregs. If I can't taste it, I want to see it. So well done. And who you got in the game Sunday, Chiefs? Eagles. Yeah, I mean, I appreciate the history and all that. And chances are I'm going to be wrong. I get that.

And I do like the antics of Andy Reid. I do. And I respect Mooms and all the pieces. I just feel like it's time for change. And there's just, there's enough going on. And I'm not a Bill's fan, but I'm surrounded by him here. Yeah. And I, to a degree, I share their misery and see, yeah, I can see Rhett there.

Yeah. So I, another, I just, you guys have been tortured enough. You can't have Kansas City come through and win another one. So go Eagles. All right, fellas. Enjoy it. We'll talk to you next week. Hey, boys.

Have a good one. Enjoy the Super Bowl. You bet you too. He's a beauty. Darren, Dregor.

They're going to pretend that defense isn't an important need to add and try to win a cup. The oilers, that's all I could think about. It's wild. It's all I can think about.

And like Dregs isn't saying here's what they should do. He's saying like this is what I'm hearing. Yeah. How do you not have second pair defensemen as a burn the boats at all costs ad? I would love to go back to August, call her July 1st of last year and put on, we could put on our Oilers GM hat. Mm-hmm.

And how differently I would approach things. Summer of Jeff, except that Skinner's office. and now being looked at as a salary dump if he'd waive his no-bo. Exactly. It's a disaster in those deals. Because it puts them into the spot to get off or sheeded. And look, nurses play great.

If he looks anything like last year's nurse, now you have two third pairs. Well, Bouchard hasn't been as good, apparently. And he's going to get 10 plus million in arbitration. And Leon jumps to 14 next year. Like, this is your last best chance. Skinner. I don't mind.

When Skinner's hot, he's fine. No, no, no, no. The other. Jeff. Yeah, the other one's a problem. Like that's, how do you lose, when you look at what Holloway and Broberg have provided in minutes. Like, if you put Brogberg there playing the way he did in the finals, your, yeah, I feel real. So we got to do you're like, it's just seven goals.

Yeah. 30 what? Like, and they're saying, what we need a problem? But how about one or the other? Yeah. Not both. And look, they gave up a first plus to get Henrique last year. Is that not exactly a bottom six penalty killing forward?

What would you do with your... It was so bad. You could use that first on a defenseman? So dumb. That said, if they gave up a first for Rasmus Ristolin, would you feel like they addressed their issue? I like it more than Ty Emerson probably. Because I don't really know.

You hear about Susie or Ristolining and one of those guys jingle my bills. Lexiac could be a nice fit there, but he plays the left. I think they need a righty for that second pair. At some point, though, you have to be able to play both. I mean, yeah, point being, they've always focused on the wrong thing. Yes. They should have three or four banners. Like, when you have the talent they have at the top,

all you need to do is do a middle of the pack GMing job for the bottom half of the roster. It's been awful. It really has. Like, they're burning $25 million on Jack Campbell. Like, nobody thought that was a good idea. You know, the nurse extension, he shot 20% as a defenseman that. Like, of course that was unsustainable. Too much money.

It's, they might still want a cup, but this should be a dynasty. If they don't, it's one of the greatest miscarriages of, like, the NHL. We'll move on. It got me, I was going to talk about this anyway, but Dregs brought it up. Meat. Super Bowl weekend and meet. Speak of my language, Dean. Love language.

I'm trying to decide if I'm going to Bon Ton today or tomorrow. Both. Road trip? Maybe both. Road trip? You coming? I got to get. I got to get some.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, buddy. This is when Bon Ton, we've talked about Bon Ton for years. They've been with us from day one going back to the old show and all that. Greg Keller is the best. Does so much for the community, gives back and all that. It just so happens that he has the best product in the city. Maybe the province, maybe the world.

when it comes to smoking, grilling, deep, whatever. All things delicious. So what? Because here's my move. I need some beef ribs. I'm going to, but I'm going to cook them myself. So I'm going to get some beef ribs. And probably some pork ribs because when I have,

but one, I just want the other. It's like, oh, they're both so good. And potato salad. I mean, it's just the thing. I know you're going to do it yourself or you want to do it yourself. You don't have to. You don't have to.

You could walk in there and walk out with any and all things needed for a very successful Super Bowl party. Game secondary type of Super Bowl party. Nobody's leaving your house talking about the overtime turnover by Mahomes that the Eagles scored on to win the Super Bowl. They're talking about the food that you provided and how great it was. It's a good point you make, Rhett, Because you and I, we enjoy the cooking process.

A lot of people don't. True. Then don't. Call bontan meats. Here's what I need for my Super Bowl deal. Put an order together. You could do the Boomer order. Yeah.

Get the boomer box of grub. Meat pies. Oh, right. Get some meat pies because some people are going to go, what's this? Well, good, sir. That there's a meat pie. And probably you should stop. off your face or it into your mouth and just get it on your eyes because it's delicious.

So get some meat pies. They've got both types of ribs. The beef and the pork. It's right there. You know what else they have, Dean? What's that, buddy? They got wings. You ever have wings at a Super Bowl party?

Yeah. Don't have for a round. Get the wings too. It's right there. It's all the same case. And don't, yeah. They're real wings. It's not, you're not doing this.

Yeah. No micro wings. We want the real ones, eh? Yeah. Then you get the potato salad and don't screw around. Get, I gave this the other day, my order. But also, some people love sweets, Dean. Get some cheesecakes.

It's true. Get the cheesecakes. You're killing me, guys. Starving here. What are we talking about? Oh, you like cheese and sausages and those types of plattery? Get one of those. Throw one of those.

Oh, that, please. It's a good point you may, because you're probably thinking, well, I'm going to have to go here to get the wings, and I've got to go here to get the meat. And then I'll go to the bakery to get the, why? Why? Why would you do that?

Why would you do that? There's cap patrols there. Like, you brought up the meat pies. That's another one of those things. When I tell people, so, yeah, you guys talk about the potato salad all the time. I'm just not a big potato salad guy. either my but you haven't had this potato salad i don't sit at home making potato salad on the i've never made it in my life exactly so don't kid yourself like it's not a potato salad world

we're living in here this is an exceptional side yeah and it's the same with the meat pie i wouldn't i wouldn't think of me so what is it it's like a like what chicken pot pie it doesn't really you i mean you're in the ballpark but it's not really it's they're small you know what i'm going to go in there i'm going to go in there and get a video of the, because we have all seen it. The apparatus that they use, it's about 500 years old.

It looks like some tortured device from medieval times. Beautiful thing. And they still use it to make the meat pies, which again, there's no rationale why they are as good as they are, but they are. So why question it?

Why worry about it? Just do it. Call on time. Yeah. Yeah, but it's on Sunday. Well, it's not. If they're already pre-cooked, you're going to put them in your oven low and slow, get them back up to temperature if you put it in Sunday morning.

Bon Ton meats, over 20 varieties of in-store-made salads, delicious desserts, and of course our famous in-store-made meat pies. Proud to be Calgary and Southern Alberta's Consumer's Choice Award winner for best meat in deli for 24 consecutive years. that's a lot of years a lot of years as long as I've been alive you know how many years that is

that's a little less than that right it's actually the number of years that Bill Belichick's girlfriend's been alive and she's lovely just like she seems quite like I haven't met her I don't know she'd take her to Bon Ton

Bill take your babe to Bon Ton there's the next catchphrase take your babe to Bon Ton take your babe to Bon Ton triple A Alberta beef Beef well maybe I

Don't sleep on chicken. Don't do it. Dean. Yes. Do you know where I grew up? I do. And the name of the person that's my father. The Pug has become a chicken snob.

and the DUG special orders from Bontan because it's too damn good. Province away, still doing it. Province away. Hey, don't forget. Let's get that order in. So, uh, we can. That's another one of those things like, I'm not sure. Chicken, chicken.

That's okay. Have you had, have you had good chicken? Yeah. Or are you having the stuff that looks all yellow? It's all like. Or this big. And it's from water. Yeah.

What a good show so far. Everyone has gotten to talk about their true passions. Did you see Rhett's face light up? when he was talking about the meat. I was going to say, Rhett's more pumped than he's been all week. Yeah. We snuck it just in time for the Friday show.

I'm about the same, to be quite honest. Well, and you talked about the dogs off the top. That got you all excited. I got to talk about zero cups in the McDavid air. I mean, we all are just getting to live out and love our passions on the show today. You got to talk about footy.

I did. But the no cups for the McDavid era is, really the... Yeah, I just were your good jinx. That's all. It was close last year. I know. At least you didn't come in in a Panthers jersey

and rub it in and drink beer the next day. Game seven, hey? Bontan meat market, 28 crowfoot circle Northwest. We'll see you there. And as Red says, and as really everybody says, take your babe to Bontan.

Take your babe to Bontan. Take your baby to Bons. Yeah. That's what they say. Can't go anywhere. I was hearing someone say that. Take your babe to Bontan. God.

Big chunks of bacon in that thing. Yeah. I'm having a party. God damn it. Yeah, you are. I'm doing it. I got to.

I got, I don't have any plans. Party time now. Yeah. I got invited to my party. Yes. I do, Jack,

yes, I do. You're sick so you can't. Yeah. Okay. All right. I put a little photo in the drive there for you, Jack.

Sort of related. We have a, a Drager update. Oh, he's nice. Oh. You must have a 141. Was that the half they said?

140. 45, I think. And the head, meathead from up at Bontan has also chimed in. Fucking potato salad. Yeah, I know. He's like, I just, I keep making more of this stuff. Guys, we do great meat. Yeah.

He's like, I've never advertised that we have potato salad. I've never specifically picked out the potato salad individually is something that we do or do well. But yet, it's our number one seller. Greg, it's your fault. If it wasn't the world's best, this wouldn't happen to you. It's your fault, Greg. Make shitty potato salad if you don't want to sell it. A pulled pork with the potato salad.

Oh. There's your Darren Drager update. We need something for scale. Like Dregs's hand only getting like it's good of the way across it. Yeah. Yeah. But I, I just trust Dregs when he says this big slab as he's the way he put it. Yeah.

I could just cut off the, no. That's what you want to do right there. So Bontan meats We'll We'll save and rescue your Super Bowl Your big The big game on Sunday And you know what boys

I don't want you good Going thirsty I don't want you being all Man it's so delicious I got Do I have anything To wash it down What have I got

Well there's some tap water I suppose you could have some of that. Not really what I'm after. Something that's cold and kind of bubbly. It's a little bit of a big game. You need some. I do.

I do have something to wash it down. Origin brewing. Look at us. We may not be able to tell you who's going to win. We may not be able to tell you what the flames should do or anybody else, but when it comes to food and booze. Got assorted. We've got it figured out.

Figured it out. Origin, they are a fifth generation farming family and decided, you know what, we are, we just happen to be growing some of the best barley in the entire continent. We've got breweries from the U.S. and across Canada coming and saying, we need some of your malt. We need some of your barley because we can't find it. we can't find this quality anywhere else. So it's maybe not convenient for us here in California,

but it's what we're going to do because we do want the best. And they said, hmm, me, thanks maybe. If it's good for them, should it be good for us? Should we start making some beer? And they did. And now what they do is they keep some of the crops for themselves. And now they're making the best beer out there. There's the origin located in Calgary.

They got the new tap room, the new brewery set up here. 943 28th Street Northeast The original is still going strong in Strathmore 60 Spruce Park Drive If you walk in with You know, maybe a couple You stacked them up top, right? 2448.

I'm not going to limit you. And you got bontan on one hand. You got origin beer in the other. You may not even turn the game on. Who gives a shit? That's just it. Who cares? They're not going to win more than I am right now.

Yeah, you'll be sitting. You'll be sitting in the kitchen. Yeah, you got a barbecue all over yourself, having some delicious beers. What time does the game start? Well, it was in the third quarter? I kind of even forgot the game was on today. You and your babe. That's right.

Take your... Take your saucy babe to Bontan. Take your hoe to Oja. No, I don't know. I'll let you guys decide that. Origin. Origin brewing. It is great people.

And you don't, I mean, we'd love the afterburner pale ale and barn burner blonde support. But if it's the Mexican logger or the homegrown or whatever it is, we understand. I don't understand. I mean, the after. The pale ale is really good though, right? And the blonde is really good. Really good. We'll do some, we'll go really a deep dive into the old Super Bowl here in a moment with the.

I thought it was going to say Colorado. No, I'm done talking about that one. There's nothing to talk about. Wow. Yeah. There's stuff to talk about, but I feel like we're all in good mood right now. It's got one Saturday. We got two weeks to decompress, really dive in.

Right? We just got talking about bontan orders, maybe slide by and grab some beers and stuff for the weekend. Yeah, I don't need to talk about Nathan McKinnon, Cail McCar. A bunch of assholes, looks guys. Hey? Jerks. Frigin McCar. Calgary guy.

I play in Colorado. What's your deal, dude? Yeah, what is? No problem. Show it off. New rink. We'll name it after you. Somewhere else.

The Macar Dome. Let's go. Bring it home. Bring it home. He's going to come home. He's older already than I thought he was. College guy. And he probably just is about to finish up a six-year deal or something.

Yeah, he's got, um, older. Is he 28? No, he's like he's 26. He'll be 27. So it'll be 28 when the deal's up maybe? Yeah. making nine, nine million this year, next year, and the year after. Penance.

Criminal that he's making less than Nurse and Seth Jones. We saw how it pained you to bring up a nurse. And led to believe that darn all nurses actually had a bit of a bounce back season. Yeah. I mean, he's playing like a third pair guy last year, kind of looking more like a closer to a second pair guy this year. Not nine in a court guy, though, ever. Well, you know, it's not his fault. He paid him.

He didn't pay himself. No, I don't blame him at all. It's, again, very consistent. I blame all the GMs there for doing a horse ship. I don't think it's GMs at all. It's your friends. Your friends put your head in life. And that's why, thanks, guys.

But when you're buddies McDavid, and he's speaking highly of you, that helps. I know you guys have always had my back. So, Connor, you asked for all these guys get raises. Can we get you to take less? because you're the best player in the world. You should take less, right? Yeah.

20 or I'm gone. 20. It'd be great. He's sitting there in the corner of the, pretend like it's a newspaper, sitting in the corner of the locker room. Hmm. Says here the caps going up, eh?

Hmm. Like a lot. Well, it looks like, like a lot. Like, do it's going to be curious to see how teams spend all that extra money that they're, going to have. Probably good if you're up for a deal in a year or two or something like that. It'd be a really good spot to be in.

Oh, hey, Stan. How you doing? Yeah, big game tonight. Yeah. I'll give you, do you want to take a look at the? Oh, you've already know. Okay. Good.

It's good, you know. Glad you know. But I have a feeling he's not going to do it that way. I'll do it's best for the team. Why are we, I don't know why we're talking about it. Is that worse from so far? Maybe this is just for fun. Why would, just out of curiosity,

if you're McDavid or any of these guys making this kind of money, I don't know what they pay. Let's say it's standard fare with agents. That's 3%. Why? Yeah, you don't need an agent for this one unless you don't have. And I'm not, there are certain, right?

Like, and I'm not. say there's probably there's there are other things the agent can do and offer it is that but it's like three percent of well he may not get that uh a hundred million big mac david mcdonald's deal without the agent you know what i mean but more the other question i guess i have is how much like league revenues going up great right and this is not a edmonton calgary's in the same boat if McDavid was in Calgary, it would be the same question. How much revenue could McDavid drive league-wide

if he's playing in a bigger market on the East Coast? Huge amounts. That's why Groskey left. Huge amounts. Right? And to that franchise alone, he's probably worth 20 to 50 million a year, years ago. I mean, you look at the tickets they sell,

you look at all the jerseys, the playoff revenue. it was a franchise that was a doormat for 10 years. The owner had the lowest winning percentage of the big four of sports. Like it was a disaster. It was one of the worst run teams of pro sport. They're now relevant and making huge amounts of money. Their franchise value in Forbes.

Their revenue is jump top five in the NHL. He's worth hundreds of millions. He's criminally underpaid. And I'm not saying, yeah, not just underpaid, but I'm just saying that. So add the market to bigger and in a place for hockey's less relevant, it's worth even more. Exactly. And that's what I mean. I'm talking for the league and not just the individual team or McDavid himself.

I'm saying how much it's curious. It's a, I'm curious, but it's a terribly boring conversation to try to figure it out. But he's worth hundreds of millions to other. I don't really want to talk about it either. Putting another photo in there. Just again,

it's kind of changed the topic of conversation and kind of move on to something that's a little bit more desirable or, enjoyable to talk about you mentioned the meat pies at Bontan they are under construction as we speak they've got the medieval torture device going full swing in the back corner

torture press yeah some some press for your don't just don't get anything caught in there don't get anything caught in there don't need it but yeah now I know how this is what the answer is but chicken or beef Both.

Trick question. I know. Not feeling us today. It's a tough one. It's a tough one. But at the same time, it's not tough. It's easy. And I'm not going to just have one.

So it actually is both. You're driving home and you got those bad boys sitting in the back seat. Although, I mean, that for you, everything sits in the front seat. Keller told. You buckle it up. He talks to it on the way home, puts a hat on it. So, Rhett comes, this is my Greg Keller impression. And so Rhett comes in to pick up his order, which is, you know, it's massive.

Gets his order. And then he gets potato salad and then gets a second potato salad for him to eat on the road home with the other potato salad and the meat. So you need the to go cup along with the order. I live a long way. It's a long way. Yes. Yeah. Ring road.

It's not a lot, but it's, uh, it's still a hall. It is still a hall for sure. If you don't do that, you have no potato salad or do you get home? I've done that before. Oh, it's tough. Yeah, I know. And then you get in trouble for with everybody else. Did you eat all the potatoes out?

It's this empty potato salad container. What's going on in here? So there it is. Meat pies under construction. They know it's, they know what it is. It's a big weekend. And I know that it may not look.

It's like, well, I don't even know what I'm looking at. But that is the delicious beef that goes in. just think like a delicious stew with melt in your mouth beef and then buttery just buttery goodness of the crust the flaky crust that goes around it's a big weekend guys don't screw it up village honda presents the pender report while you're up there go and grab a grab a civic. Anthony will be in very high spirits upon his return from Victoria. He was there last night, amongst the thousands that cheered on a team from another city.

Is that right? Yes. Maybe get a good deal on a civic today. In a great mood. Yeah? Yeah. Meat pies, pale ale, CRVs. We got it all figured out for you.

Northwest Automol online at village honda.com. Yes, the 2020. Civic Hybrid, the winner of the North American car of the year. They've got the new hybrid touring CRV. It's in stock now. We've been telling you about the Ridgeline. Quality award-winning vehicles, oh, plenty in the Northwest Auto Mall. And they do present the...

Ryan Pindindon. The Pinder Report. Thank you, Boomer. Good Friday to you, Rhett. Let's surf on over to flamesnation.ca and see what they're saying about last night. relative ease, extinguishing the flanes. Two wins in their last seven. Connects meanwhile, 5-1-1-1.

Wolf averaging three goals against in his last five starts, and they're scoring less than two and a half goals over their last seven. That's not great math. No. So you're giving up three and scoring less than three. Yeah, because I took out the Vlodar starts. So the last seven, we'll have three and a half. Anyway, we'll keep moving.

Frank Sarvalley, our NHL insider. He chatted with Craig Conroy in a piece that the audio version is going up this morning. And I believe the video comes out at one. I'm not sure if that's Eastern or Mountain, but an exclusive one-on-one, Frank Baum with Connie. You've been a manager now for a couple years and you've made a bunch of trades. Is that one of the tougher conversations? you've had with Pelche? For sure, for sure. That was the hardest, you know, because I didn't, I didn't know how he was going to react and see the emotion that he had. You know, that I'm human.

You know, I felt bad. I have kids, you know, when they're upset and they're not happy, you know, those are the things. And, you know, it makes me think back, you know, Chris Snow was a big, you know, close friend and with, with his passing last year, I know how much he loved Jacob Peltier and his family loved, I mean, there's a lot more to it. But again, my job is to try to do what's right for the team and move forward. And we felt like this was something that could help give us a boost. And, you know, we're trying to make the playoffs. But even with that, we're trying to build the team for the future. And we really were looking for that center. And to be able to get Joel in the deal also just made a lot of sense for us.

Speaking of Peltje and Kuzmenko, they both on ice today, finally, as immigration paperwork has held them out for three games now for the Flyers. How about this for Frost and Ferby? They've had one off day, one practice, four games. Like, welcome to town, play, play, play, play. The other side, they haven't even touched the ice yet. Play, better. Just grinding guys into the grass.

Oh! Western Wildcar. Let's take a look. The Canucks did need overtime, but did say, secure two points against the lowly sharks last night. Games played even. They have one more regulation win, two more points. And what they don't have is probably more important. They don't have the gauntlet the flames have coming out of the break.

We know the flames will host Seattle on Saturday. They will start their post four nations tournament with a game against the shocks. And then it's one of the worst road trips you could ever build. First place, Washington, red hot Tampa, Stanley Cup champion Panthers, Cains, threat to win their division. Flyers, okay, revenge spot for the fellows there, I guess. And finish it off with your sixth game on the road, just swing through Dallas on the way home from the Southeast Division.

Is there any way they can use time machine technology? Because there would have been a time playing the capitals, lightning, panthers, and hurricanes. It would have been a breeze, right? Because those were at certain points in time, not very good teams. Do we get the Alex Semen flyers? That's what we need. right you know the Brian Bradley

pre-la cavalier lightning they were not very good yeah the ret Warner they go to the cop went to the in fairness hurricanes the Bates Bataglia Bates

Carolina Hurricanes that era right yeah no I don't think the other time machine yet but they do have two weeks to invent it well shit because yeah as you say I mean caps are tops and lightning are good and Panthers are real good

and the canes not playing well but very good flyers are struggling but you know emotional one there end of a road trip and the Dallas stars are quietly just keeping pace with all the top teams more or less just kind of quietly out of the wave on that trip too like it's just a little off the beaten track just with their Dallas on the way home just you're already in philly it's just right on the way to nicaragua then come home okay talking with connie yesterday We had our winners from our Christmas charity and great thanks to the flames for the tickets for the games last night and everything.

And Connie's the best at doing that. So we were in his office there. He's given the full tour. He doesn't short change you. And he's, yeah, so after we've got the, yeah, somebody said, do you travel with the team? Do you go on the road? He's like, well, I have been, but you know,

this sort of thing. So just looking here and he kind of looks at the, so we've got this, when's the road trip? It's right after the break. Yeah, yeah. And it's no good. He's like, oh, Jesus, yeah. Yeah.

Oh, now look, if you play well on that trip, I'm ready to say punch a ticket, you can start adding. Interestingly, that road trip ends the day before the trade deadline. Yeah, they are, and he was saying, after the deadline, I suppose.

Yeah, he was saying they as a group will be setting up in Dallas. So that's going to be their hub for a trade deadline day. Dallas on the sixth, trade deadline on the seventh. So they'll just hang behind the team will move on and they'll stay and get their work done, whatever that is, buyin or sell them? And the interesting other side of this is when they're not playing well,

guess what starts coming into closer view in the rearview mirror? Ye old top 10 pick you don't want to give away. There are now four points out away from keeping their pick. This really is, Mucky Middleland. You're two points in the playoffs, four points from keeping your top 10 selection. Weird spot. It's the best spot. Is it you can accomplish either?

And your fans are interested. It's not a loss or neither. Well, you don't want to finish in the middle, but you can definitely Shut up, Dean and your neck. Sorry, Ryan, back to you. Thanks, Dean. Let's go to the Eastern standings. Man, it's been crazy out there.

Ottawa lost back-to-back games to the Tampa Bay Lightning. We've had games in hand on everyone. They've also had a game postponed due to hurricane. Suddenly they jump into the three hole in the Atlantic. Washington continues to cruise. Look at the cushion. They've got 10 points on the second. best team in the conference 11 on the next closest in the division and the two wild cards right now red hot

Detroit best record in the league since mccloughan took over seven in a row the sense very good but continue to see linas oldmark bend a fingernail and sit and up islanders how are the stupid islanders climbing up there and well they're they're playing better and lou is looking to add because he's always looking to make the playoffs and add he's never been of the mentality to go the other way just for you talk about Washington. I looked this morning, that incredible start that Winnipeg had, right?

They're tied now. Yeah. The overall standings for points. Washington has totally caught them. Yeah. And has played one less game. So winning percentage-wise, they're tops in the league.

Also of note, the Rangers with a heated J.T. Miller, they're lurking, but they're still not that close. If Detroit and Ottawa keep playing this well. So that'll be a fun watch out there. Boston is fascinating because they've been out for so long. Columbus is a feel good story.

Islanders are boring go away. Tony Daniels has been a great ad for them with Dobson out. And the HABS, they got into that wild card for a bit. They've started to sink like a sunset credit Tom Cockhart. Boston starts selling. Anyone want to Zedorov slightly used Zedorov? Anyone? Anyone?

How many years into that too long deal is he in? almost one year. Almost one you're into it. There might not be a worse scenario in the league. Than Boston? Yeah. They miss, yeah. You've just went to market and added big name free agents,

big money free agents, and in the first season, you miss the playoffs. Well, and then you add in the factor that like, okay, if you do miss, what's Marchand saying? Because he still doesn't have a deal for next year. Marchand doesn't look like he's happy to be a Bruin right now, which is... No one's happy. I'm not watching them that closely, but just the games you have saw it?

Does it look like he's still? The only thing I feel like you see out of Marchand is he either having to dispute reports about him signing a deal or being at odds with a teammate or so the Swayman thing. How's that? Guys, I don't know. It's not been a good week, a good week, a good year for, for Marchand. Come to Calgary, Brad. Yeah, come on, Brad. Bring it home.

I can play with Pospisal. come home to Calgary, which is your home. Real quick, Detroit, I told you they're hot. Here's the latest from last night. The stat that proves it. I wouldn't just be lying to you guys. Seven straight. Also, no team better record, 154 and 1.

So what's changed? Well, basically they're getting saves. You're playing much better in all fast. It's well done. Thank you, Michael. But if I don't believe you, why should I believe? Well, Mike's got a checkmark. I don't.

Mike? Mike, you can buy that. You can buy that. It's that Derek Lalonde. actually I was giggling to myself when we were talking to dregs in Detroit I was like how do you feel when the team does respond that positively after your dismissal and in no time flat just yeah they lost the first game and then seven in a row I can't believe stevie why would do this firing a coach in boxing day what a heartless bass I mean really do you think that

a coach is going to change the fortunes of Detroit they're built poorly and the whole design is it looks good. Would it seem like maybe the timing was right for a coaching change? Stevie Y clearly has a good grasp and a good feel on his team. Yeah. Should have fired the penguin sooner. I'm sure LaLond's just sitting on a beach chair ignoring all the NFL.

They turn off the Wi-Fi, Lalonde. Just enjoy the sun, hey? Curses. Foiled! I'll get you, Batman. Crosby's hurt, fellas. He's skating. This is not ideal for Team Kemp.

had a northern guy that I probably looks forward to wearing the maple leaf more than most, given A, the penguin suck and, you know, his nickname has been Captain Canada. We'll see if he's ready to go. Pardon me? I thought that was Ryan Smith. Wasn't he? Sure. I mean, whatever.

He's going to, I'm calling it. Golden Gold guy. Back to me, guys. I've got some 1996 World Cup of hockey highlights, but I've already talked about them so we can just keep moving on. It's quite good. Let's do that again sometime. Tonight's games.

What do we got, Jack? Oh, penguino Rangers. Okay. Islanders Jets. Yeah. Do you say, oh, just because of Jack? Or because that doesn't interest me at all? J.T. Miller and the Rangers trying to get back into it.

It's the only thing is. Well, they're going to shit pump the penguins. I hope so. Preds and Blackhawks avert your eyes. Ab's second half of a back to back up in the city of champions where they've, they'll be trying to hang their sixth consecutive Stanley Cup banner this year. Isn't that right?

in the comments. They've won so many with two MVP's on their team, no less. Six cups in a row. They're eyeing their seventh this year. And Dallas and the L.A. Kings tonight. Okay. NFL. They do awards. They had a big awards gal last night. Now, if there's one thing we love, it's athletes talking off of teleprompters at award shows.

Why watch them play sports? When you could watch them try to read off teleprompters at award shows. Here's Justin. Jets. Was I'm robin see ya in NFL is a dream job But playing the position in Minnesota it means something a little extra oh I'm sorry Because of the tradition and excellence we've got going on there I'm the I'm the prompenter I'm sorry guys Oh dear, good up there

All right now we're gonna start it over we're gonna start it over player probably seen me in the NFL is a dream job yeah yeah it is almost as good as being on the awards show he's got a lot of uh do the drip yeah he does he's very he's got a lot of drip teeth do you see the uh the thing on him wide receiver that program he was one of the guys that keyed in on him and yes because he's a quieter guy but when he gets into the receiver mode that's when he gears up with the jewelry and he really starts to get a little more flamboyant yeah jeta what he turns into Jetta. Sure.

Transforms. Kind of like Derek Lalonde. Oh, Batman. Percid. You win this time, Batman. I said no salted rib on my margarita. Let's get to the actual awards, because there were some. We're going to scroll through some because there's some great stories in the NFL this year,

Rhett, including. What about this. Jane Tannis. What a season he had a quarterback, Washington. So good. Offensive rookie of the year. No surprise. The other thing will lock.

up at week six. Jared versus sensational. So you're just saying you're going to lose Aaron Donald, then immediately draft the next one. It must be fun. Sequin, offensive player of the year. Yeah, that makes sense. Defensive player of the year, Pat Certain the second.

He's amazing. Shut down guy. Joe Burrow, comeback player of the year, sure. Yeah, okay. I guess he got hurt last year. Coach of the year. O'Connell, yeah, he was real good. Real good.

And then what do we got here? Yeah, the Walter Payton Man of the Year, Eric Armstead. Some great work in Jackson. But look at MVP. Hey, retro. Good for him. Now, there's some other awards, too, that I wasn't familiar with.

Let's scroll through some more here. We've got the play of the year was Deshawn Watson's Achilles' tear, the moment of the year. I didn't see that one coming. Jeez. It's harsh. And the shouldn't have come back player of the year, Kirk Cousins. Don't tell Kirk that. I got paid nicely.

Yeah, if you're the Falcons, you draft the court, right? You should have done. Congratulations on the MVP award, they're retro. Thank you. Proving the season is over. There's a lot of data out there that suggests that maybe it should have been Lamar. There's a lot of numbers that were in his favor, but it's, he's a very deserving one. Because Allen's who are shitty numbers.

You know what I said? And you know what? It's very, very heartwarming on the Buffalo Bill, social media. They kind of showed the work. That's not, you know, MVP's not about being a good guy. It's a lot of good guys. But this is a very good guy. Yes.

Donates a lot of money, has the children's hospital in his mother's name and Buffalo and they have all the kids. It's very touching. I would, uh, rather, you know, it's a little long to show here. I don't want to show our soft and, you know, our soft insides. Sensitive under our emotions, yeah. But do go and check that out. It's very touching. Also, he disagreed with red on one thing, which is.

interesting because Rhett played, you know. He said he's engaged. He's going to screw him up. He said he couldn't do this without Haley Stanfield, his incredibly wonderful fiancé. I'm happy for him. I'll take that back, rather. Or is it because he's not married?

Once he's married, then the bad comes. Well, it didn't win. Super Bowl, maybe he's a single. Stupid, Haley, Stamfield. Here are your odds for the big game. Ret, avert your eyes. There is a football game this weekend. The line is at one. The over under at 48 and a half.

it is pretty damn close. All that Super Bowl is one point. Okay. Gonna be a gooder. How do you find you wins? I hope it's going to be a gooder. Because across the playoffs, these playoffs,

we get excited for it. They have not been all that captivating. They've been lopsided. Let's have a game, everybody. Let's have a game. If I told you there was a method that's worked 75% effectiveness,

I'm predicting the Super Bowl winner. Would you want to hear about it over the last like 20-some years? 75% of the time it works every time. Well, let's get back to the Egg Bowl. All right, here we go. It is our annual Egg Bowl. Who's going to win? We've got eggs in the microwave.

Whichever one breaks first is the loser. That's right. Our eggs have predicted 75% accuracy over the last 24 years. Guys, what is the situation looking like? We are ready. we've got both the eggs in there. Garrett, as always, did a fantastic job, and we're ready to go. Light her up.

Nothing says Super Bowl like blowing up eggs in a microwave. That's right. And here we go. Last year was around the 22nd, 25 second mark. Yeah, it really varies. Again, 18 correct, 6 incorrect over the last 24 Super Bowls. Haven't heard anything yet. This is almost unprecedented.

Starting to get dramatic. Kansas City, Philadelphia, the Egg Bowl. Okay, hang on. I can call it. Oh, what? Oh, I see smoke. I can smell it in here already. The one that blew up is Philadelphia,

which means Kansas City will win Mahomes. Unbelievable. They got to move the lines now at 365. All of a sudden, it's five and a half for Casey. Wow. 25% chance of winning now. No.

Don't like it at all. Jack, you like Guinness? Yes, I do. You're going to Ireland, buddy, because the Steelers are going next year, too. Look at this. Dublin. Oh, boy. This would be the trip of the lifetime.

I don't know if I'd make it home alive. Challenge yourself, Jack. Challenge yourself. Red, take Jack to Dublin. Take him to Dublin. Retty. Off to Croke Park. You know what?

I got some loser family members that cheer for the dealers and they might want to go this might work. Would you want to hang with those loser family members? No Russ. When I want to. Yeah. Oh, well, I don't care. I'm in Dublin, watch football.

That's true. There's lots of people in this day. Go to Dublin. Do you go to the game? He was on the pub. I was at the Guinness Brewery. Let's move to Calvary FC. They were in action in Victoria yesterday in Langford to be specific against

Mexican Giants, Pumas. We play in Mexico City, Dean. Which is a city in Mexico. Mexico. Mexico City, Mexico. One, one, late. Let's pick it up here. And there's plenty of numbers. Moussey hangs at high.

Herdman heads in over. Are you kidding? Watch the touch here, fans. This is impressive stuff. Is that Anthony? That is Tobias Schwarzhefsky, the German, scoring another huge goal. He had the penalty kick in the league championship.

He had the goal that won them home field for the championship game in the fall. and that gave them a lead late in this contest. There was seven minutes added in stoppage time. They hang on for a two-one win. Again, watch his touch on the ball. This is Jay Hurdman heading it to a big bang. Dirty. I'm not sure I'd be able to do that.

I don't know that many people on Earth can do this. This is quite impressive. Bink. Oh, wow. On Earth. Jay Hurdman. Keep feeding the German. Well done.

They play next Thursday in Mexico City, the second leg. They have a 2-1 lead. Away goals is your tiebreaker. Should be fun next Thursday. Let's go, Cavs! I just say, just as a casual observation, that's your report. Yeah.

It's not up to me. Three goals were scored, right? Mm-hmm. It'd be like soccer. You could probably play them all. Probably play them all. There were two other goals in that highlight pack. I did have a game tie-ing goal as well.

but they're longer highlights, yes. And we're, yeah, I think Jack didn't edit on the fly there. We had both goals. All right. Sorry. It was Charlie Trafford, Mason's cousin that scored the tying goal in the second half. Excellent effort. First time a CPL side's ever beat a league MX team.

Good. Let's get some real sports. You're going to miss Tommy. Go fund me. Let's go. You got to keep Tommy. Tommy fundraisers. We do every Friday.

Meet Ralph. Yeah. You ever been to Dubai, right? Because they got all these crazy sports. They're doing all these combat sports. You got F1 races. I'm trying to make my way over to Dubai. Yeah.

I mean like, we can do this? Is that Jack in real time? Jack is high as a kite. People are starting these trick shots to go viral. Let's check out this trick shot. You'll like it, Dean, because it involves a dog. In fact, maybe even two. Roof.

Once you're out on that ledge there, is there any getting back anyway? Like, I don't know. Yeah, you've committed to it, I feel like. Do you guys remember when your first child was on the way? How exciting a time that was? Beautiful caring wife is pregnant.

Big hippo can move. Soup weather, right, Jack? I'm going to puke, right? This is what it's going to be. Soup, come on! You're going to make me throw it. Yeah. The worm soup.

You can see them wiggling, Dean. Look at them go. No, I can't see them wiggling. I don't know. No, thanks. Anyway. Did he get that at Bontan? I don't think so.

Nobody's eating that. That's delicacy, right? I don't believe it is. I think it's a. Said so on the internet. Village Honda. Car and Driver magazine once again has ranked the Honda Accord number one in the mid-sized sedan segment.

This is not surprising. Seeing gross videos and that the Honda Accord is number one, Zero Shock. Right. Honda debuted more new features and improvements in the 2025 edition of the Accord, which was already tremendous. Just keeps getting better and better. You're welcome.

They're the same. Homer. VillageHonda.com on the, it's in that Northwest Auto Mall when you're picking up your meat pies. Grab it accord. Get the, get the car first and then head over and fill it up. Yeah. You can get, enjoy that new meat pie smell. Yeah.

In your accord on the way home. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Actually, maybe the opposite way, because if you're trading in, you might want that delicious bontan aroma in your old.

Our partners, the official gaming partner of Barnburner and Afterburner, if you haven't opened things up yet, we've been telling you about it. The promo code is nation. And there is a ton. Because I don't know you think you probably go ahead. And there's all the huge range of markets and all that. But specifically because of what's going on this weekend,

they have really stepped their game up. Whatever the moment, it's never ordinary at Bet, 365. five the big game chiefs eagles so you're going to go yeah i think the eagles are going to win so i'll take that there's props and partly it's hard to stop once you get started but that's the thing be responsible have some fun have some fun don't get crazy with it apparently the head's tails bet is the most popular like ever that's what who loves yeah yeah they love it uh i'll start in no particular order. Just grabbed a few. Feels like Jalen Hertz to score a touchdown.

There's going to be a tush push, I feel, and he's the guy. Kareem Hunt is still, he's old, but they still use him a ton. Haram. Patrick Mahomes under 252.5. He has a tendency to put up touchdowns, but does so very economic fashion. I'm going to take the under on the 252, and everybody's talking about Seqwan. I think you could get 110 rushing yards and still have a very good day. I want to take the under just because I feel like that will be the focus.

If AJ Brown and Devontas Smith. DeVontes Smith. If they could beat us, okay, we'll take our chance. But we need to shut down Saquan Barkley. Easier said than done, but I'll take the under on the 112 and a half rushing yards. And I'm not going to bet against Mahomes until Mahomes screws you. So the spread is minus one. The money line obviously even up.

I'm going to take the chiefs. I know that hurts everyone in the room, and I'm sorry, but. We needed you. If you were all in the Eagles, it wouldn't happen. So again, thank you for being the villain. You're welcome. We talked to the Rashmadani yesterday. We love Dallas Goddart in this game.

I'm getting real greedy. Two touchdowns or more plus 5,000, 50 to 1. Two bucks turns into 100. Let's go. And retro, you've been pumping out bets all week. You got the octopus the other day. Yeah. The any, anyone else on the board?

Any other. Any other? Yeah. To, uh, what, score a touchdown or lead the game in rush yards or whatever it was. I thought I had Goddard with 60 plus yards and. Well, you may have because Ryan has two or more touchdowns at plus 5,000. I wonder if maybe just the screen grab doesn't show the other. Yeah, he's got a parlay written there.

You parlayed that up with one. other bet which would be the 60 plus yards to get you to plus 6,000. Jeez. All on a rash's word. Yeah. Just got fun bets. I got big units on the Eagles winning. I've got Octopus.

I just won the MVP. Like, I'm rolling right now. You are rolling. He is rolling. You are rolling. You are rolling. Killing it. And it's one of the things.

I don't really care who wins. I'm not an Eagles guy. I'm not a chief's guy. There's nothing like bet three, six, five to get your juice. is going. And it doesn't take a lot. I've got, I've got five bucks on the coin flip. Let's go head. We should do one. What do we doing for coin flip? Gatorade Keller. What do we? Team bat for pizza. We'll put the money into pot. Everyone's in for five bucks. I feel like heads is due. Got to be honest. I'm trying to actually

have a conversation with this. They say the tails never fails, though. Isn't that how that's saying goes? No, no, no, there's actually heads. There's a slight increase. Do we have any exploding egg videos for heads or tails? Head or tails? No, they just do the team names, yeah. Jack, are you heads or two. Ret and I are heads.

You and Dean can be tails, pizza bet. Sure. This is a very good comment here. Flip a coin to decide. Yeah, that's probably a good way to do. That's a good idea. I don't have a coin anywhere in my house. I'm going on the point.

Damn it. So we're, now how do we I have the history here. It's tails 30 times and heads 28 times. Yeah, heads is due. Like I was saying. Do you not hear me? You just say that, Jack?

What did you say? Heads is due. He said it. I heard them. They've only got 28 at the last 58. You do. Is there anything else we can flip? I'm looking for a coin.

Flip a pen. You've got a. funky bets that we should do. I've got a memory card. No. Got a. What do you got, Jack? I've got nothing right now.

I've made bets and then I just keep cashing them out. I can't make up my mind. I've got a battery type thing that's kind of like a coin. It's not rounded edge on one side square and the other. That's not fair. heavier. You don't have a coin. That's fine.

Ryan's got to go. I'm fine with heads. If guys are feeling heads, I'll be fine with heads. Do we want to be on the same page or we're doing a pizza bed? Because if it's pizza bed and we're all right. We're going to, I'll put,

I'll place the bet in my app. Hmm. And if we win, we take that money and put it towards pizza that Jack owes us. Done. Interesting. Yeah. Love it.

Jack just nods. I love it. Yep. Sure. Yep. Yep. Yep. Heads.

See, and that, like I was just saying, now all of a sudden, we goof, and it's goofy. but we are we are in on on the coin toss Hang on man Ends this whole heads Coit toss is coming up Hurry coin toss kids

Right Thank you bet 365 Thank you That you did So good It's gonna be tough if we come in And there's no pizza and tails hits Oh friggin tails

And we knew going in that it never fails Yet we took heads Be sad How much pizza are we talking now Yeah how big is it? Anyway, get the app if you haven't already. And I'm telling you, it's, you're going to be in there a while. It's a rabbit hole.

They got swifty bets and all kinds of things and parlor. It's the best. What songs? Kendrick Lamar going to sing first. You got everything in there. Yeah. You hear it all the time. Oh, you can do the prop bets and it sounds like it's corny.

And it is, but it's fun. You sit down with the people. You know what? If you're hosting your party, you can print out a little sheet and everybody kind of throws. Yeah. Have a good time with it. Enjoy it. You deserve it.

Bet 365. World's larger sports betting platform. Also, if you're sitting around on Sunday, and chances are with the weather outside, it won't necessarily be a big problem, but you're having your beverage, your cold beverage. It's like, oh, this got warm already.

Oh, no. What that? You're not using a Yeti? You're not, they've got the can, like the can sleeves. not a soft little coozy deal like the hard-sided for the regular size can and they've also got the smaller one think like you're the more narrow ones they've got those as well which again is not surprising because yet he's got it all dean tea gift at a golf tournament last year one

What do you think about the, because there's people who say, why don't you move the Super Bowl is Saturday, so then no one has to work the day after. Because it stinks when you go and you have a bunch of people, or you have a whole big fun time.

You're doing your Super Bowl and then, well, we better shut her down because we all got to be up for work the next day. You know what's never happened in this country of America? Anyone uttering those stupid words that just came out of your mouth. Sounds like something Canadian would say, doesn't it right?

It sure does. It's called the Super Bowl. And it's going to be super. than I don't give up what I got to do tomorrow. All right. Well said. I think it might be people that put more effort into their job than us, though. Who?

Or more booze into their liver. They're going to need an explanation of who these people pretend they are. Work harder than Rhett? There might be got men, women with hard hats. They're outside doing manually. They have harder jobs. They don't work hard. Oh, I see.

They have harder hats. Yeah. Everyone's a faker, Dean. So no, just to kind of bring it on, no one works harder than us. Correct. That's the takeaway you should have. They might fake it and lie, but they don't know.

Maybe we should take the day off. We've been working on. Ours is very clear. We're not, we're not pandering to anyone. We're not trying to improve. Yeah. Yeah.

Enjoy the game. Get your origin beers. Get your bontan meats. Be responsible with Bet. Be responsible with your bet 365. It's very good of you. Yeah. and then when you win big Valentine's Day next week,
