Rabbit, rabbit. Oh, you son of a bitch. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the program. How are we doing, everybody? For the month. Yeah. How about, uh, uh, so June 1st, across the board,

your, uh, give a letter grade to the month of May for yourself. How did May treat us? I got no, like, what do you mean letter? Like, well, is it a plus? Was it an F? Oh. B. Solid B plus B plus B plus. I give a B plus. That a boy. I got a I got a straight A buddy.

Straight A because I was just my last few days in Mexico before the diarrhea and virus kicked in. That was still May. Survived that. Sobered me up. And then got a cavalry game in there. The boys have been playing baseball. I think the boys were undefeated in May. Just rolling. I would give you a C for passing on that virus. I was going to say, yeah. Steve a D. Ruined his life.

Yeah, I had a sizable chunk in there where my entire house wasn't feeling great. But, you know, we had some, the kid got through his graduation. Is that a hard thing to get through? Is it a stressful time? You know what it is? It's a marathon. It's expensive and it's a marathon. And a waste of money?

Yeah. As in, hey, let's get a seat you'll grow out of in six months. Yeah, we need. to be in limos and we need suits and we need to go to parties and we need to have people over and we need to feed them and you know it's just it's great it's just it's one of those things it comes with a cost but uh you know um i'm gonna go with a bee i'm going to give it a bee yeah yeah just shy of the b plus as uh as we move into the month of june now what are our hopes for the month of june i got high hopes baby yeah i got high hopes baby yeah i got high

I hope. I got some golf coming up. I am absolutely scared shitless. So, you know, Derek, who is on after burner, Derek Newman, we got our master's pool

winner we're going to golf with. I might be up in Edmonton for the ATV Financial Classic to golf with the boss man in Evanton for a media round. I've got a 36-hole event at Canaanaskis, and then we might be at a tournament

to embarrass paws wall and maybe even a trip to Cramble to see St. Eugene. I have not swung clubs. This could be a nightmare. I got to get to the range. Now, but you did have a little kind of a warm up there in Palm Springs. So you felt the clubs in 2023.

I realized how much work I had to do. And that, you know, when you can play golf okay and it doesn't go off the hossel or the shank, that it's fun. And it can be great. But when it does, you want to kill yourself and end your life. Listen, that block guy at that fancy tournament. here in Rochester a couple weeks ago. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He shanked one right off the hazel and the, did. Did it fine. The PGA championship there. He was fine. Don't worry about that. Charles Schwab. Right, when you were out, we were talking,

you were saying how you really, really miss playing golf. Mm-hmm. If only, if I had my clubs here, I'd go every day. Just every day you'd be out there. Here, so. Just dying, dying to get out there. Yeah. Well, we got some things to do.

today. You know, for starters, I just want to get this out of the way because today is Thursday and as Ryan tells us all the time. We need to make plans. So we're bad plan at planning and making plans. Let's know what day it is, but to know what's coming up for the next few days. We're going to take a look. I think it's probably a good thing to do. Rhett, you're going to be involved. It's the weekend weather brought to you by Bontan Meat Market. Oh dear. Because you need to plan. What are we, what are we eating for the weekend? What day are we barbecuing, grilling, what are we making? Is it going to be smoking hot?

And if so, what are we eating? Is it going to be, you know, medium temps? Does that affect our menu? And if it's going to be rainy, maybe we're going inside. What are we doing? Is this the barbecue forecast that I'm seeing unveiled here, Dean? This is the, yeah, the bontan barbecue forecast on, uh, on, on Thursday. So for.

Oddly enough, sorry to interrupt you there, but oddly enough, I'm staring at barbecue recipes as you. Of course, yeah. This is excellent timing. Yeah, this is, we've been doing this for decades. Yours. Yeah. Beans. Now today, now this is, I get, people aren't all in Calgary.

Like, Ozzy Brad, this is less for you than it is for people who might be in Calgary. Today, kind of breezy, chilly, we're going to proceed your chances of rain, about 16. Friday 22, Saturday, 23, but overcast, Sunday, starting to get warmer with some more sunshine, 28 degrees. Oh, 12. 28 barbecue Sunday dinner. So which day, I'm guessing I'm kind of with Ryan. I'm thinking, is it going to be Sunday or do you go early? What's the weekend barbecue forecast menu?

Saturday is a roasted chicken or a beer can chicken. That's what you're doing Saturday. And I would think you want to come up. No, you did chicken. I was going to go actually a, a fish talkie thing, but that won't work. That's not barbecue. It's good.

I'll go, but you know what? I took burgers out. I'm having burgers here. I'm going burgers. I got a homemade burger recipe. Put the barbecue sauce right in there. Good beef from Bon Ton. Are you kidding?

How does it go at the end when you're done? Yeah. Yeah, that's what it looks like. I've said this before. So there you go, Bon Ton meets, of course, Bon Ton. They've been doing it right for you. since 1921, 28 crowfoot circle, northwest.

And yeah, across the board, you, whatever it is, chicken, pork, beef, we told you. It's the best of the best. And it's only at Bontan meets with Greg Keller. For a period of time, I'm going to say maybe two years ago, maybe it was during COVID, I think. Hmm. I really didn't give the chicken it's due. Oh. Really didn't give the chicken its due.

It was kind of one of those things where he used chicken. chicken breast for a certain thing, but let's be honest, chicken breast kind of the driest of the, you know, to the whole chicken. And thighs, you needed a whole bunch of thighs to feed the family and all that. But the whole, just roasting

of a whole chicken I wasn't really in my repertoire, but I must say I've really come around. Silver lining of COVID, Dean. And as soup enthusiast as I know you two are, the whole chicken cannot be beef. That's part of the reason I do the whole chicken.

God, let's get a nice rub on there. Mm-hmm. Stick a can up. It's, I'll put it on the grip. Yeah. And then you know what you do. If maybe you've got some leftovers, well, you just peel the meat off those suckers.

And then maybe that goes into your buffalo chicken dip. Or you could repurpose the chicken that way. How many of you? See, I'm a, my grandpa used to do. do this. He would just eat the whole skin off the bird. I love the skin. And now

I'm full of chicken skin before it's sliced and diced and put it on your plate. So good. It is one of those things you almost have to just kind of, at least not for everybody, obviously, but you can't think about it. Eat it.

Think about what? Whatever this is, is sure tasty. I don't know where it came from. We can talk about haggis and hot dogs, and the chicken skin is way down the chart of things that... I agree. I agree. So there you go.

So what do we go with? Burgers? I think burgers on Sunday because you're going to do a big mess. It's going to be a big mess. That bird on Saturday. You're going to do the beer can chicken on the queue. So it's going to be a little bit messy. Burgers, simple, clean, easy.

Kids are running around outside. Toasted buns? If you're a professional, that's what you do. My kids don't like them. Toasted them. Come on. They better be fresh then. Oh, yes.

Brioche. They have a sponge. They have to have a brief. Dad, where's the bryosh buns? You know what, though? I'm kind of with them. Those soft buns are son of just so good. Just a light toasting dean.

That's all. Just a light. The little Christmas. My wife is the queen, the woman that I live with, of buying buns and then firing them in the deep freeze. No. And it'll be, hey, do you want to do hot burgers? I think there's some buns in the deep freeze. It's like, well, I'm not eating them on that.

That makes no, that's place zero factor in what we're eating that we have frozen fucking pucks, dried out and discolored shit that's been sitting in the deep freeze for eight months, 10 months. Oh, good. Do we get a freezer burn bum here? I can. I don't want to, I'll get in trouble. Anyway, so yes, fresh,

fresh is the way to do it. Go to Bon Ton, get fresh meat, make the burgers you sow. Get fresh buns. Hey, if you want to bake those, you know,

do those yourself. So there you go. Must say, I knew it was going to be, and it was as weird as I expected, seeing Bradshaw living against a Toronto Maple Leaf backdrop today, talking about the leaves.

Nine years, he was here. you just kind of sees the flames guy. He's the guy and you get to know him and all that and he's flames. And then it's the color. It's the. The team. The market.

Fancy pants backdrop. Yes. Everything. All shiny corporate leaves. What? Hearing him talk about Austin Matthews and. That's going to be tough. He's going to have to have to go down to Arizona and hang with Austin for a few days.

Yeah. I guess Keith and Austin are down in Arizona. Arizona. So what's the plan there, right? You meet at the W, maybe play 18 holes, hang by the pool. How do you get, how do you break the ice? You got 12 million a year. You're not staying in a hotel. Oh, are you saying for Brad? Brad. He probably has a place down. He probably still has his place down there. I would expect. I think he sold it. Oh. I think he did sell it. But. Yeah. Then yes, W for sure. You could probably just, when you're making that leaf money, just pick one up today when you head down there. You got my couple. Shit. Yeah. Just grab one.

I'm playing Austin's Casita. Now, and true to form, now tree as we know, true living. I mean, careful. Watch your ribs because he'll start tickling them when he starts with the zingers. You know what? And it's classic in the press conference,

a little icebreaker, have a little fun. I know some of the fellas, and it's a heavy rib tickler. Got the day, a little. Here's Brad. He was asked about Mark Giordano. He started tickling them. ribs. You did.

Gio. Let's take a listen. A bunch of former flames there. It's good. It's good to see those good. It's good to see him still playing at 75. Not a lot of guys do. Yeah, I was with him a long time. They're good men. They're good players. They're good people. They've got good families.

So, you know, I was, I was, I was, been texting a little bit with Gio and it'll be good to connect with them. And like I said, I don't, you know, there's a few people here. Luke Shannon know a little bit, right? We've got a little bit of a relationship with. So getting to know the players, that's the important thing to me. Like I said, this is not, you don't manage from an office anymore. You know, you got to get to know them.

You got to know what drives them. But those are two good men there. I would say it's great that he knows those guys, but those are probably the three pieces you should send packing and upgrade. That's the first place to start your upgrade, Brad. Well, one more year lot, 800 grams. Yeah.

You know, I know Matt Murray really well. Yeah. I know these guys. Rees and I go way back. Yeah. No, Austin. Do you know William Nealander?

Yeah. He was asked, you know, he was asked about Matthews. We'll get to that one in a moment. but obviously, and we'll talk about Dubus, because Dubus leaves, it feels like everything happened very quickly. I don't think it was by accident either, do you know?

Like this was, hey, the Leafs are unveiling this guy at X o'clock. Why don't we release Dubus being hired just, you know, an hour or two before? Maybe, maybe. Not sure how it all came together chronologically. But Sheldon Keefe has a contract, but as we know, guys like having their guys. You get a new GM, maybe he wants to bring in his guy, whatever. Sheldon Keefe, Mr. Treleving.

What are your thoughts on your new head coach? With no preconceived notions. I went to Calgary nine years ago. Bob Hartley was there. Didn't have relationship with Bob. Bob coached, I think he was a coach of the year, my first year in Calgary. So I think Sheldon has done a lot of really, really good things.

I look at how a group of really skilled players has gotten better in checking and defending and doing those things that you need to win. so we're going to sit down and we're going to have a thorough process and try to do it as quickly as possible and come to a conclusion. So your thoughts on that there, Rhett? I don't know I missed it. Yeah, I was going to make a mess of things here. Well, you know what's great is when you're sitting at the table and you have muted your microphone,

and then when you leave and don't mute your microphone so we can hear you crashing around like a Mack truck in the kitchen. No. Anyway. Yeah. Anyway. No surprise there. Like, I think strategically would you really want to use a bullet on a coach right now?

No. Like it's, no, you inherited this guy. By all means, see what he is. Just like, you know,

anyone that's got a couple of years left on a contract as a player. See who they are. See if it fits what you're trying to build. Unless you go and talk to the players and all the players don't like the coach, then. Yeah, I don't know if I got those vibes, but yeah.

There's more talking about here. Yeah. Yeah. And the last one. To fire the coach there, is that right? Obviously, Austin Matthews, one year left. There's a lot going on in Toronto. They'll be the first to tell you how much is going on.

But yeah, Austin Matthews, a year left before unrestricted free agency. Trilliving has done this dance already a year ago with Johnny Godro. How do you avoid that this time? He was asked very early on in the presser about Austin Matthews and the strategy about getting him under contract or if you can't what do you do moving forward is one of the elite players in the world you know we're not talking about a a good player in the in the league we're talking about elite player in the world getting getting to austin is a priority but but outside of the contract stuff number one is just getting to build that relationship you know

it's not walking down and and and trying to arm wrestle about contracts it's getting down and getting Austin to me getting a chance to meet him but more More importantly, having Austin get a chance to meet me, know what we're about, and just talk a little bit. So that's priority number one. We know all the things as it relates to all the players in our contract situations and the timing and all the challenges ahead of us, but we're prepared to get after it.

So I'm excited to not only get a chance to meet him, but thrilled to be able to work with them. Dean, you need to talk to Tree, because I'm going to give him shit because when he turns his head he's not talking to him. I know, right? Because when he's doing one of these things and then you start looking at this way to talk to the reporter. Huh? I can't really hear him.

You can't hear him. I know. Yeah. It's Mike etiquette. Let me ask you, Rhett, because you have all, you've talked a lot about you don't just hand out contracts because, oh, we, what do we do we do? Oh, we got to keep this guy. You can't do it. Do you feel like there is a part of that here with this guy?

Because he truly is one of the best goal scorers in the world. He is a center. He's the number one center. You then have to replace and we know how hard that is. So okay, you trade them, but then you got to get another first line center and probably pay him. I guess just thoughts on where you find Trilliving with Matthews. I think he's in a tough spot because I think Matthews has been handed the keys to the castle and it's all up to him. What the hell is Trillivin going to do?

I know. He's going to back up the brinks and try and sign him or effing trade him. You can make it as complicated as you want and he can get to meet you and all this stuff. Sure. I'm sure it's all important. But Austin Matthews holds all the cards. He makes 11 points. He has the whole deck of cards.

What can Trillivin convince him of? Matthews knows Toronto. He knows the market. I'm not going to call. He's going to want all the money. Yep. But he can get, he's been given all the money that he possibly could get. And in the best contract he could have ever hoped for the last one,

he's wanted all around the league. He can shoot like there's nothing that Trillivian can convince him of. It's up to Matthews. We've watched these situations play out. The player just gets more and more leverage. The closer you get the free agents. and if you need to be reminded how Austin Matthews only other negotiation went,

given that entry levels are basically a stamp, he held the gun to their head, they walked him right to free agency, as early as possible for his age, and they gave him all the money. So I don't think this is going to be easy. They'll be the highest paid player coming out of this if he's a leaf.

No matter what. Yeah, like unless he's trying to go to a certain spot, but I just think, look, like, the cap has been flat for a while. We're coming out of the pandemic. Like the IOU is almost paid off. You've got huge money coming in from Seattle. When he's a free agent, there might be $8 million more per team to spend.

It's a perfect time to be a free agent. He's hitting, dingers. Like, there's no. You make more money. Yeah. When he retires, he'll be made more money than anyone else in the NHL. The biggest decision for true living is, do I give him everything and hope that he scores 60 a year and continues to be that number one, right? And we find a way to succeed in the playoffs?

Or do I trade them? Because if you trade them, you immediately. We talked about it here. Hey, should we trade Lundholm? What are you going to get for frickin' Matthews? Oh, absolute haul. Right? Like, so the issue is all, we got to refill the number one center.

Are you kidding me? You don't think that you can go and get a top, well, who was the number three pick? They were talking about out of Columbus. Yeah. Right? Like, you're getting everything you want. That's trees. The nice thing for tree is,

So I decide if he's not going to stay here and I decide to trade him, to trade him, I am getting the king's ransom in return. The other thing is William Nealner is not going to come back at 6.9. He was an absolute stud, probably their best player this season. Like he needs a serious raise. He comes up at the same time. If you're going to bring both those guys back, even though the cat may jump up in two years,

you're right back into the four guys are eating all our salary, which is really hamstrung them in a lot of ways. What's that? You got to get to bar. is out of there. Yeah, he's got two years left. So it's it is what it is, but you're right. It's it's a classic UFA deal. He was a very good player. You got more money than he should have in the last few years are more painful than you'd hoped. You guys are good at math. I'm going to just and this is pretty quick math and I know it, but just for the sake of

Matthews entry level deal. Three years. 11.325. So that was bonuses, all that. Yeah. So 11.325. and at the end of next season, he will have completed his five-year extension at 58 million,195. So he's already at 70 million. He has made 70 million outside of endorsements. And how old is he?

Well, he's going to be the youngest free agent number one center that we see. He's 25, 26 years old. Yeah. And he's about to sign. a seven or eight year deal with the highest AAB in the league, if our projections are anywhere close to correct. He will be the highest paid,

wealthiest player in the history of this league when that contracts up. Like McDavid, look at, he's making, he'll make more than McDavid and McDavid went eight years. David gave him three free 18 years. Austin's like, why would I give you free 18 years? I'm the star. Pay me. The Bron doesn't hand out three years. Why should honor?

Who is? I mean, it's up to, you know what? If you're just about the money, Matthews is doing it right I get I taken a shot at McDavid because he can absolutely could have or 15 times five yeah but maybe you should compliment him for being a you know what I'm here I've got a team I want to do well by my team

I'm not gonna so I don't think Matthews is going to do that no and he hasn't prior it wouldn't it would be out of character and to be honored like yeah it's a great thing to do for the team the problem was is you gave Pete Shirelli a bunch of blank checks that he messed up And just be honest about it. If you're talking about an eight-year deal at 15 a year, who taxes matter. Oh, big time.

Taxes matter. Taxes matter, but at the same time, they almost don't matter. They do if you're worried about money. But honestly, when you've made 70 million and you're going to make another 80, at least. Like, I know we can hum and ha about $8, 9, 10 million dollars in tax. but it makes zero impact on his life. Yeah, it depends, but it's important.

I disagree. Like, I think you see, like, what kind of a lifestyle would you have to have where you've made? 10,000. If he asks any player that ever played before, if $10 million matters, you'll get your answer.

I see both your points. Like, if he, if his career earnings are going to be between, 150 and 200 million. It's like you can pick your spots and not be too worried about taxes. But to Rhett's point, like what at the end of your career when you're 70, it's like, hey, remember you could have gone to that tax-friendlyer place? You could have an extra 20 million.

20 million can do a lot of things. And the other thing is it's a tax friend. There's tax-friendlyer places that are pretty nice to live in. Yeah. The other thing you do is you load up assigning bonuses and things like that. And honestly, the one thing that maybe we haven't seen that Austin might show the template is sign a three-year deal at 15 and then hit the market again when the caps even higher. Like he's, he's shown, he's, he kind of broke the mold for what contracts look

like. Nobody ever gave a guy all the money and walked him right to you. Dubas broke the mold. Well, I mean, whatever it was. If, if the agent's saying it's this or he's not showing up, but yeah, Dubascold worked in that negotiation to be sure. But whether it was him or the agent or whatever. What's clear is that post that contract, stars now have the ability to say, no, I want to go right to UFA. If you're one of the few guys that can score 60 in the league, I guess you could get it. Like Pasternak took a hometown discount at less than 12, I believe, in Boston. It's a great world. You know what? I'm going to do you all a favor. Big favor here, guys. I'll settle at 11.5 million a year.

It's all it's going to take. 13. You're welcome. I looked into the forecast. It rains a lot in Seattle. They have caps space. I'll stay here, I guess, for 11 and a half. You're welcome. And I guess just my last thought on that retro is I get the whole tax thing. And yeah, of course, money is money. More money is better than less money. I get it. But I just wonder if the tax thing isn't more of an issue if you're in that four or five, six million dollar range than when you're in 12. Stupid money. It's still, it's more money, but are you not, are you not more able to absorb that when you're making $12 million? I'm telling you my thoughts on it.

Everyone has their own approach to things. I could have tried to get more money in my career, but got a contract that I thought was great. It's not the do-all end-all for everyone. Taxes matter. one final thought before we move off Austin Matthews you think about where Matthew Kachuk's stock was last summer like really good year career year not the best player in his team you wouldn't think but

but an elite player in the league not a superstar but a star and the flames got the guy that finished second in the scoring race a top pair defenseman a first round draft pick and a beat prospect in Cole Schwint or whatever you want to call what him is as an asset how much more do you get with Austin Matthews? And I understand that Huberto hasn't panned out, but we didn't know that at the time.

You got a 115 point player and a top pair of defenseman and a first. To Rhett's point about if you moved him, it's got to be significantly more than that, doesn't it? Honest to God, it might be the better move. Long term for sure is. That's what I think. It's easy to say, well, we've got a number one center and he's a 60-goal guy.

Absolutely. I do not under... I respect Austin Matthews' talent. and what he does. He gets the puck. When he's on the ice, it changes the game. They've failed because they can't manage cap

and spend money and spread it out amongst the team. You might be better off moving up. What it would do is it would allow you to, okay, we still have a ton of offensive ability. Marner, Nealander, Tavares ain't dead yet. Now maybe we can keep a bunting in the fold. We can upgrade on the blue line.

We can invest in a goaltender rather than just rolling the dice every year with someone. And the other thing where it does is Tavares is two years from coming off the books. Now you could load up to maybe make a run at a Leon Dry Settler or Connor McDavid in two or three years when they're up. You can't do those things if you bring back William and Austin at huge dollars that, frankly, they command. And I mean, I can't be hypocritical and quite good at it actually. but for me to say the kids are able to come in and play and make an impact. How good was Austin Matthews his first three, four years? Fuck, he was good.

We get four goals the first game in the league. You think it's not 60 goals to zero. Yeah. Right? Like these kids that you go get will contribute. And they've demonstrated what having a 60 goal guy, like I, it hasn't. They've had great regularly.

seasons. I don't know. He's too young to start painting him with a brush as a guy that. I'm not painting him with it's a lot of money to tie him. Because I was just going to say I don't want to, but you do watch him and he loves scoring goals. But I do wonder if I just I wonder if does he have that next when shit gets hard. Does he have that next that next gear that next You said it yesterday. I think Ovechkin is the best comp for him because these are the types of conversations we had about Ovechkin before he won. And it doesn't mean that Austin will win. It just reminds us that you need a lot of things to go right and that you could be the best player in the league by a mile.

And I'm not saying these guys are, but we've watched Connor. He's never played in a Stanley Cup final. And I blame the GMs that they've had more than I blame Connor. But you need a lot of things to go right in this tournament. It's fucking crazy. And so have they had bad fortune in Toronto? Yes. Have they had some bad performances in big spots?

Yes. Are they owed more luck, generally speaking, over the last eight series they played? Yeah, they have. So I'm with you. You can't paint this guy as a never will win guy. Hockey continues to prove it's a team sport. Yeah, you need 25 guys, not two stars. Like in the NBA, you get three stars.

There's your ticket to the final four. That ain't hockey. That's not hockey. And if you're going to put all your stock into, one thing. It's a voodoo position. It's goal tending. They're the one guy that can make everything else irrelevant.

What does that look like, Rhett, the voodoo thing? That's right, yeah. The shoulders, you got to go higher than that. Careful. Don't friggin hurt yourself. So I guess good luck, true living, I guess.

That's a bold, effing move. He goes down to Arizona, doesn't like the feel. We traded did you do Seattle, blah-a-blugger. We go, like, back to Toronto. Can you imagine a hall you would get? My God. You'd get a haul, but can you imagine the, like,

what is a Toronto fan base media? Like, if he makes that move, you're sitting at the table in Nashville. The draft is about to start, and the camera catches Trilliving, talking to another GM. Yeah. Yeah.

So and we can now fire up the, uh, did you know, hey guys, did you know that Nealander was born here? Calgary indeed. So yeah. In Calgary. I know. Alberta. So it's just a man.

And Trilliving used to work here. So it's a matter of time until the Nielander is, uh, had a. for Nylander and that's how that's going to break down I love that let's go yeah do you get Nylander for Hanifn't don't think so it's capish a little more have you looked at Toronto's unrestricted free agents like they do have to house a team they do yeah the one thing that I was I was more surprised because you hear like you talked about Tavares and it just felt like it was going to be one of those albatross things that sticks around I didn't realize it's two more

years. A lot of the they've got a ton of money, but the term isn't a killer. I think isn't Morgan Riley is really the only guy there, I think, that has any amount of term. You make a seven and a half five more years, six more years. And it's like, okay. Yeah. It's, it's not great, but it's not darnel nurse at nine and a quarter for six more. Holy Toledo. He's as good as Hanifin. And Hanifin's going to ask for more. And I think that's not a bad comp for what Hanifin would look for. More points from Morgan, a little better to. defensively for Aniffin.

There you go. Gentlemen, coming up on June the 10th. It's a Saturday in Vancouver. There you see it. UFC 289. At the Rogers Center Arena building in Vancouver. That's right.

Saturday, June 10th, it's the first time that the, they haven't been here since, haven't been in Vancouver since 20, 14, haven't been in Canada since 2019. So this is a highly anticipated return. Some thought it was maybe going to be Calgary, but it is in fact going to be Vancouver.

And there you see, the main event. Irina Aldana, Amanda Nunes. She, Nunes had a little blip on the radar going back. She had lost her title to Giuliana Pena. She won it back in convincing fashion. They were going to have round number three between Pena and Nunes, but. some hurt ribs.

Maybe laughing at those zingers from Trilific, maybe pain you hurt herself. So it is going to be Aldana and Nunes and this, some question on Nunes, has been one of the best of the best, has been the best of the best in the female side. How many more fights that she got left?

How long can she be dominant? So that is kind of, it's kind of a co-main event. Then you've got Charles Olivera versus Baneal Darayush. And then this kid, I'm going to, because I went yesterday. I wanted to learn a little bit more about the card. Mike Malott, Canadian guy from Burlington, Ontario. He is, I mean, his MMA record is one thing, but he's two and all in the UFC regarded as one of the best up-and-coming

Canadian fighters. This guy is just a sweetheart. You're going to fall in love with Mike Malott. He's taken on a stinking American dirty out of fugit in, just outside. After the two main events, that's going to be the big, the big fight. But this one is common. So get, I mean, get your tickets get it on pay-per-view i think that uh show show well here let's get some more of these i didn't realize it had been that long i i'm not a hardcore ufc guy i could i i enjoy it but i'm not i'm not deep into it but i went to the one when it was in calgary what was that like it's like anything else stupid it's it's it's hard to dana white talks about all the time you go it's better than a heavyweight fight it's better than anything else you're going to go to the

electricity is off the charts. It really is. I mean, the announcers, the fighters, the crowd, everything is, is awesome. So it's next Saturday, June 10th, Nunes, Aldana in Vancouver, UFC 289. Get it on pay per view. Retro, you've been to one, a UFC event? I have. Where and one? Down in Vegas. I'm trying to think, because I got hit in my head a few times. I can't remember. It was the one where it was early on first round kicking ahead over done huge I'm looking it up was it McGregor or somebody else

no no it wasn't McGregor it was before that was like 2012 so it's a ways back was that the Oliococan PJ trip down to Vegas oh boy I believe it was was it not was that the private jet down to Vegas me with Oli so many

I've never taken a private jet with Oli, no. Me? You guys, well, was it not you? When there is a UFC or a big fight, like you always talked about it, Dean, the energy, just walking around. It is, like, you can feel it. It is different than any other day. A big fight changes everything. It does.

There's a certain, right, you've got, there's a certain type of person who is into combat sports. Yeah. And they live it. I mean, it's a lifestyle. It's how they dress. It's what they do. It's haircuts. It's tattoos.

It's everything. And the energy that comes from it. And it'll be, you know, honestly, it'll be the same in Vancouver. Vancouver's going to show out for this, for this one. Because it's been so friggin long. So yeah, it's, if you haven't been, it's a great one. Even if it's not your thing, you got to appreciate the spectacle that is the UFC. So next Saturday.

And failing that, get it on pay-per-view. That's right. There you go. Next Saturday. It's a busy time we could probably do this month. It is very busy. Yeah, it is very busy. But a bunch of Canadians on that card.

We'll talk more about it in the coming days. But there's actually, I believe it's three or four of the Canadian fighters from the same, basically from the same area. They go to the same gym. Same gym. Yeah. Now, you may not have been on a, on a, have you. you've been on a private jet with dominic hashick no have you been to a castle with dominic

i've been in a castle with dominic cash yes feels like a world star story yeah how do you what we took a little fiat or something four of us yeah what designates it as a castle and not just a big big house like a giant mansion where is the mansion the mansion act that there's a moat and okay So you draw bridge. Dragon, archers. So you got across the moat and went to the, went to a castle.

Where was it? Prague, just that's, I don't know. Yeah, it was dark. We played in Prague that night, and then it was dark out and we went, so. Sure. Oh, exactly where. Well, speaking of Prague, this video started,

I was going to get a front of. for the show yesterday, just got I didn't get it in time. It's the Czech Hockey Hall of Fame in Prague. Now, the, the history of the game in that area of the world is rich and they take it very seriously. Remember when, when the Czechs beat Canada, the celebration, remember? I mean, Hachick was a god over there. You talk about shutting schools and businesses down. They went over the top.

But that for whatever reason, they're closing the Czech hockey. Hall of Fame in Prague and I guess they sent out you know hey guys hey Hall of Famers we're shutting the doors you want to come grab your shit or we don't know what to do with it maybe we'll drop it off a kid's sport we'll call up Kevin Webster and maybe maybe send some of this stuff over there so yeah earlier this week and we can take the I mean it's there's a it's a check reporter so none of the talking is in English so he can just play the video hey Dom, you are the greatest

goalie to ever play the game. We got a bunch of your shit, but we're, we're not making rent this month. Can you just come and grab it? Or what do you want to do with it? So there's Dom. Same build. Same build, lean.

That's definitely Dom, yeah. And look at him grabbing. Just grabbing his stuff. This is the helmet that, that's the first helmet. That's the helmet that I were at the Olympics. There's my check. flag and keep and stay with it because there's the jersey god all Canadians remember that

frigging jersey and there's one other jersey here you might recognize retro that one's pretty synonymous with breaking Canadians hearts and look at this one oh yeah ah the buffalo buffaloes it's got a lot out in a month i keep saying it got a rip on there six in a month a month So now what do you do with that stuff if you're dom? Dom doesn't strike me as a guy who would have a whole lot of use for shit like that. You know what I mean? Dom. I think he's got a room.

If you asked him for an autograph. Really, eh? Well, my first year here, I don't know, we were at the hotel in Buffalo. We stayed over in the hotels,

right, during the playoffs. I asked them to sign the stick because my cousin wanted an autograph. And everyone in the room was like, He did what? I'm like, what? He's going to snap. He said, he goes, you never ask.

I do this one time. That's crazy. He sounds like the words, fight them, get the mouth of his mouth. The check accent's a weird one. I was fine with it. He made me millions of dollars. You do what you need, buddy.

Yeah, sure. I don't need an autograph. Just not a clock for me. Whatever. God. So, so what, I mean, does that take some of the shine off of a guy like that where he's going to be a dick? I think he had some sort of deal with something.

Oh, I see. Less autographs out there, the more your shit's worth. So you make a partnership with some sort of memorabilia company. You only sign for them. They get you a big fat check. I mean, I think Connor has a couple of signatures he does as well. Connor will do the standard one. And then there's an exclusive signature.

He only does now and then it's big business. That's been my thing. That's why you don't see a lot of my autographs out there. I've got to protect my endorsements. I thought it was the wrist, but I guess I'm wrong. Yeah, carpal. Time for the Pinder reported presentation of Village Honda. They have a fantastic.

The whole wash bay, their whole detailing setup that they have in the back shop. When they built that dealership, obviously brand new, they went and made sure that the detailing in the wash area was a step up from just what you would get at a normal place. So when you get your detailing package, it's getting the full treatment back there. I think they prop it up on pillows. They fan it with, you know, the hand fans, feed it grapes, all that sort of thing. Starting at just $7,9.95, get the detailing package for your vehicle. Only at your dealership for life, Village Honda, who presents the Pinder Report.

All right, fellas, we'll start with the Calgary Flames as we continue to narrow down the candidates. for their next head coach. This from our insider at Daily Faceoff, Frank Sarah Valley, Gerard Galant, too expensive, not a candidate for the Calgary Flames. This is something we've sort of kicked around. The track record's phenomenal with Gerard, but with that track record comes a pretty price tag relative to say, oh, I don't know, someone that's never coached a game in the NHL before.

Thoughts. It was again one of those things where nice to think that a guy of that ilk was in the conversation, I guess, but I never really felt like he was going to be a guy. There's no ties to Calgary. There's no, there was no real, the right fit. No, and there's other jobs available, right? He's not going to the Rangers, we know that, but there are some other gigs. And he was gassed out of New York making good money.

You can sit and be patient when you're making that kind of clink not to work. Yeah. Didn't feel like a fit to me. He's making too much. And I didn't, when he get gassed after the success that you have in all these places, something's not. Right. Yeah. Frank didn't alluded to that three weeks ago and it was a little bit eyebrow raised.

Like, oh, okay. He's well connected. If that's what he's hearing, that does explain these short 10 years despite winning track records. Like Vegas, it's crazy. That what? Stupid major. How are you getting this guy fired? And it's like, oh, okay, there must be something.

And on top of all of that, don't you feel like whoever the coach is going to be is going to have to be somewhat in that same, just that same mold as Conroy? That's me saying, Conroy slash Eginle. Yeah, I just feel like that doesn't feel like a Conroy fit to me. Okay, we'll move on. Calgary Flames today have to sign five players or they are Gonzo prospects out of the organization. It's not a star-studded list of future NHL superstars. but there are some curious names in here.

Here are the five fellows. The interesting one in my mind is 20-21-6th rounder Jack Beck, who has battled injuries smaller, but has piled up numbers when he's been healthy in the Ontario Hockey League with the 67. So keep an eye for any signings today. I wouldn't expect all five get signed. I also wouldn't expect that zero the five would get signed.

We'll see what happens before the end of day, as they would be lost as the rights of the flames hold. them. When's that Cole Huckins new album coming out? That new Col Hawkins single drops Thursday. I love there's nothing better

than when the temperature is warm, you crank the windows down and the volume up on some Cole Huckins. Damn. Stampede, let's go. Love that Cole Huckins. Yeah. Steel guitar.

It's just beautiful stuff. So we moved from Flames News to League News, and yes, you knew it was official when Boston Pizza tweeted. congratulations. Life is good with a true living at the helm. That is admin at Boston Pizza,

getting their tweets out directed at the Maple Leafs, who indeed said true living's been hired. We talked about that yesterday at length. We heard the clips earlier today. One stipulation that we wondered about and speculated it, yeah, okay, not going to be a full participant at the upcoming NHL draft, according to sources for Chris Johnson. won't be allowed to get to the draft table.

It sounds like they do hold a first rounder, not their own, but 28th overall. They got a first rounder back in the Rasmus Sandeen swap that they sent him to Washington. Yeah, there was a bunch of D in and out. They had 9D at the end. Crazy. Nine.

So what's true you going to do? I don't know. With technology in the internet, it's going to be really tough. Go for some beers, I was going to say. Maybe Cole Hawkins is playing at Legends. He's going to have a lovely rooftop spot booked or set aside for all the fellas after the draft is over. They can come over. It's going to have it all taken care of.

Shannie! Hey! Shannon! You're alive? I got on the table. Hey, we're down here. Who do we get? Do we get Bernard?

Not the only GM news. The penguins. Oh, just, you know, an hour before the Bradshaw Living. press conference or so. Announce they've hired Kyle Dumas. The poho rat. Oh, he will serve his interim GM until he hires a GM.

And Elliot Friedman alluded to this title maybe because of some sort of contractual things where he's still under contract for the Leafs and so to hire him now. Oh, it's a different title. Oh, it's not GM. Some of these pohos can operate as GMs anyway. Joe Sackick is now

president of hockey ops and Christmas McFarland, I believe, is now the GM in name. So we'll see. See what this means. Sharp guy. Who does he hire? Red, is he called you? About the GM position.

Have you called him? Can we get a cover letter sent to him? You like Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh, a couple hours away. Great ballpark. Great ballpark. The Steelers, but that's okay. He can't?

No. Jack's a big stealer guy. He's shaking in his head right now. I'm not happy with you. Do you guys see who's coaching in the Memorial Cup for the Quebec Rump part? I did. Then he coach it.

Close. Pat Roy. Watch Patty on the bench. If you think this guy's just mailing it in and collecting a paycheck, we got the ISO cam on Waugh from, this is yesterday's game. I believe Peterborough beat Quebec, which is odd because Peterborough sucked and Quebec looked the best.

And then let's turn. I get some of his head sometime. It's just all Pat Waugh. Keep an eye. So, okay. No big deal. We just scored. Okay.

Get a little fight. Oh, watch out. Pucks coming by. Oh, this comes. Let's go. Yes. One assistant. There's the other. Oh, it's not happening. Hansen. It's on his chin. Oh, he's looking.

He's got the full, full beard. Beard with the grip. Full white. Yeah. It looks like it's one of those COVID masks. He just got it on his chin. I honestly, I was like, I didn't care. It was curious.

I was like, it is that white. Good for you, Patty. Yeah. That guy's. fire still burns is probably the least surprising thing ever. I mean, he was a red ass from day one. Yep. I can't hear you.

My Stanley Cup rings in my ears. I know. He sounds like Bob Hartley, but we're trying here. That's close. Why is he not back in the league? Did he burn some bridges on this way? He's too much, I think. Yeah, even watching him, I'm like, that's busy.

I honestly, I think he was too much for, uh, for guys. left them high and dry too. Bye, Rhett. See you're at. Peter's done again. There you go, Rhett. A couple other things. Plug it in, Red.

We've had a miserable, miserable, miserable, miserable start to the season. We're talking like historically bad for the, you know, the Oakland days. How bad? Well, the Portland pickles have outdrawn them, Dean, the Portland pickles. Delicious. That's, uh, that's, yeah. You know what, though? And they're getting raked for the fans in Oakland for not going out.

It's not the fans. The team stinks and they're leaving. And they've told you they've wanted to leave for years and years. The ballpark stinks. I don't know. Spending no money on the roster. They trade all their star players. The fans are not the problem.

The lack of fans is not an issue. The owner being a pricks, the biggest problem in Oakland. Let's go to Vegas. So, yeah, the Portland Pickles are out drawing the A's so far. this year in attendance. I saw a thing, uh, kind of a,

whatever they call it, a concept diagram of where the potential ballpark would go. Kind of right by MGM and Mandalay Bay down there on the strip. Holy jumping. I mean, if you've got, if you put that ballpark there, you know where the rink is and right across the highway from the rink is the

football stadium. Yeah. It's, uh, it's wild. Night. No pro sports, uh,

in 2017. And now they'll have three of the four major ones as soon as Oakland gets in there. Well, and remember, because I remember going back, the NBA held the all-star game in Vegas. Because here's this, it's the mecca, it's Vegas. How isn't there a pro sports team there? The NBA held the all-star game there. It went over huge, of course. So it just felt like, okay, so the NBA is definitely going.

Now the race is on to see who can be their second, that they are conceivably going to be the last team there. Bit of a stunner. because it would work there too. NBA be huge. Never mind. F1 and they have the development league there in the summer for the NBA. Like it's, yeah,

the notion that pro sports wouldn't work in Vegas in hindsight might have been the silliest take anyone's ever had. It wasn't. Go ahead, sorry. I don't think it was that pro sports wouldn't work. I think it had to do with something it was built upon. Oh, yeah. No,

the gambling risk was a thing for sure before it was legal elsewhere. But there was a lot of people said hockey wouldn't work. I remember doing a show. While we're talking, you know, it's good we got Village haunted because Anthony's a big F1 guy up at Village. If you want to kill seven, eight hours of your day, just go and start talking about Red Bull,

Max Verstappen, and your day will be shot with Anthony. But I was watching a thing the other day that caught, it was a guy who was driving one of the simulators and they had the track built for the Vegas F1 race. And they were saying that the stretch that they'll have down the strip is one of the long. longest in all of F1. So some of the speeds that you're going to see are going to be unlike,

you just don't see them anywhere else because of how that track is going to be built. So it's, it's wild. If you know Vegas at all to see where that thing is going to wind through, wild. I don't know how they're going to put that whole thing together. And I know there's going to be some permanent changes. There'll be, there's some thought that stretches of the, of the strip just won't allow for traffic anymore. Because they've got to shut it down and kind of rebuild a chunk of it. Maybe there will just be parts of it that'll be for pedestrians only, but it's a massive undertaking.

God. You're familiar with the body, Daniel Vogelbach to the Mets, have a listen to his new walk-up song, which is interesting choice. Sound up, Jack. Are we going to get flag for it? Are we going to get flagged? Oh, it's over at stadiums. Is it?

You got perfect pitch to you sting, then we're in the usual choice. Are you familiar with the milkshake song, right? You've heard that? Love milk shakes. Big rum and butter fan, me and search. Brings all the mourners to the yard. That's what the song is not about. As I entered into Google today,

milkshake song meaning, quote, some speculate, milkshake prefers to oral sex, or is the artist sings about how she can. Probably unnecessary for you to go down that road. No, not at all. A hundred a cent. that you could bleep that out 100% too far right along to the hoops where

ret will finally be comfy not to the CEPL but to the NBA finals red tonight game one da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da who do we like who are excited about or is it just the tn tn t panel that we'll be missing because this is i believe on abc love yeah they're done aren't they that's too bad I'm a big fan of the name of the team in the mile high city. So let's go nugs. Start picking. How many nuggets in one setting do you think is your record?

Probably 40. Yeah. 42. That's the thing. That's the thing, right? Because you get the 40 pack. Is that just where that's max? Or could you have snuck in another two, three, or four if they were kicking around?

I can do more. Come on. And what kind of timeframe are we talking in? I'm the king of this pegging out and moving the food from the table to the counter. Yeah. And seven minutes later, taking a scoop or two, right? Like, if it just sits there, I'm going to eat it. I feel like it needs to be a timed situation in one sitting.

Because, yeah, we can all kind of graze. Yeah. And are we trying to reach our best? Is this one of those try your hardest things? Or is this just, I could do you. I'll eat 40. No, it's got to be a challenge. I think there has to be something on the line.

It's a challenge. Your pride has been called into question. It's not, there's little things. I could eat 60. I feel like we got that on tape now. I.0.42. Well, how hard is 20? How hard is 20?

Not. 20 is not hard. It's right. So to get to 30 would be easy. If they had 30 in the package instead of 20, you do 30. So retro, because you're an eater. And as a fellow eater, I'll ask you this question. If you were going to prepare for something like this, would you not eat all day so

that you're starving? Thus, maybe your stomach kind of, you know, contracts a little bit. Or do you kind of just, you know, eat along the way leading up to it so that you're constantly digesting food so that once this starts, your motor's already running. Do you want me to give you the honest truth or just, I could do it normally to begin with. And if I want to get, if it's really worth it,

I might light up a big fatty and then attack. Okay. Let's move along, shall we? My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard. Yeah, it's better than yours. My milkshakes bigger than yours. You, uh, you want to coach in the NBA? You should because they're making a ton of money.

You can't shoot. Monty Williams. Monty. Seventy-eight and a half. Monty! 78.5 million. And it has the potential to go another year or two beyond that where it could reach close to $100 million.

Middle class, Amer. We're done. Middle class people. We're done. It's over. Yeah. Get the triangle, dust that off. get a whiteboard out. Let's go.

Hey? Yeah. That's so much money to be a coach. A lot. Good night. Good for Mamma, Manti. When are you eating those nuggets, by the way, Pender? Because we're now years that you've...

We are probably a year and a half. I have not ducked, but I do think we should make it an event. So if you are a nugget making establishment, let's come up with something. And we could also sell tickets for people to watch rat eat wings which is an event you will never forget i think we're looking for we're having all these meetings about you know content for the summer there's a show i think that's an easy one but a venue locked in get the wolverine so so what are you going to

do are you how will you are you going to roll a big fatty as red would say or smoke a big i will uh i think you probably want to keep a normal sked to keep that stomach expanded a bit you don't I want to go in tiny tummy. Because you're like a friggin bird. Eat seeds and plants and shit. I'm not a bird. You're not going to. You have a lot of,

this will be a lot more meat than I'm. Your body's going to revolt on you. Oh my God. What's happening? This is not tofu. My wife's going to be like, you're shaving three years off your life. Sorry,

I lost the fantasy football bet. What am I supposed to do? Is this or panhandling of my underwear on 17th? I'm doing the nuggets. And with the round up to 60 makes it tricky. No. So we'll go to back to Atko Field. Tommy Whelden Jr. on the rivalry with Forge Rett. He doesn't get along with their head coach. Bobby Smyridae. Oh, he did. Like guys' name. Beef. And he did on the pitch. What is it like coach to coach? Listen, we don't send each other Christmas cards, that's for sure. We don't have a relationship outside of the game. I think there's respect because, you know, I respect before what they've done with the CPL. You know, Bobby and his brother Costa with Signa. they've built things very much and similar to how we try to build things with the Calgary

Foothills program and now the partnerships with the other CMSA clubs. I think there's respect because I know that when we play against each other we have to be at our best and I know they feel that that too. So as for relationships after it, probably when we stop competing, there might be a little bit more affable. I like it. I love this words, affable. We've never said, we've never used the word affable before, ever. So I think what we need to do is after the game, we get the steel cage out,

roll it out on a trailer, and have Tommy and this guy go toe to toe inside the hell in the cell or something. Let's go. Are they both through June 10? Let's add them to the UFC card. Let's fucking go to UFC. Yeah, let's roll. It's a nice idea. Finally, Rhett, I think you'd be interested in this.

You're a doomsday guy. You're the world's going to end. AI or benevolent overlords might not be so kind. Guess what the Home Depot is selling? Homes. Tiny houses. $44,000. I think U.S.

That's a house, red. All you need to flat supply. Hey, if you need any info on it, I've got all of it so up, don't worry. I've seen this. I bet you do. Look at top. Like a little bar, and that could turn into where you hang out with your sniper rifle in the apocalypse.

I mean, what a wonderful place. Don't work. Like, dude, this is not news to me. Okay. Well, we're getting it on the show for the people that don't get to hear your conspiracy theories around the clock.

That could be another summer segment. Oh, God. That could be a month of summer segments there. Reality is the greatest form of humor. Because, of course. How many? Listen here.

Dope people. If you would listen to me and your sleep habits and all your crap and just take some advice, it'd be better off. I told you to try to help take care of you. I'm going to be, have you bought the bottled water and batteries yet? It's common.

How many cases of bottle water is in your base? I don't have cases of bottle of water. You can't leave it in those plastic balls. It gives you estrogen. We all have estrogen, right? Yeah, it gives you too much. Maybe that explains my boobies. Hey, if it's going to be an apocalypse,

I would make things a little more entertaining. My mobs. That's it for the Pinder report. A really normal one. Thanks, Village. Onda. Jack, can you please, can you please bleep a few things

that were said in that, I know it goes out live, but I think the whole milkshake thing between potentially copyright infringement and Pinder's stupid comment about it should probably just be wiped from the record. I was reading what Google said. Remember when Boom has always said?

You don't have to explain the joke. You don't explain the joke. You dove right in. You're pretty much. You're dictioned. You were old school. You went into the thesaurus and the dictionary and the Funk and Wagnol's Encyclopedia

and threw it out for people just under thank you for the clarification. Apparently, some people say that the milkshake that they're referred to inside of this song. A miller Village Honda, Northwest auto mall and online village honda

dot com paying top dollar for your used vehicle they got a million dollars to do it sell them your car truck van SUV you'll get the money and a tropical cruise for two find out more at village honda dot com are we okay to snip that out what

do you want to ask with jack come on jack come on jack the way to race it's all live it's I was going to say it's kind of live I know but he puts stuff out later on the social well wait because then YouTube will pull it down and then send us an email and say hey

Doddle on. Is there any, like, do you have any interest in the NBA final? No. It might be on a bit. I'm curious to see what if it gets past five games, I'll have interest.

I like sports. I don't need, but I won't make a special point to sit down and watch game one. If it's on and it's overtime and it's close, I will watch it pay attention. I like sports. So I have,

you like sports. Yeah, I'm a big. I like sports team. Like sports. Right. Yeah. You're a sports fan. Sports.

That's interesting, you know, it's kind of cool Miami. Both teams, what eight seeds coming in, get to the final. Pretty exciting for everybody there. I do like Jimmy buckets.

Yokech is such a nice guy though, right? He says, you see him he's hugging his family and, he's just a sweet, sweet boy. My body by milk. It doesn't look like the best basketball player in the world, but he is.

Does the Stanley Cup start tonight? Must be a game tonight. It's got to be a game tonight because it's been a long time. Tomorrow, also no, no. We're getting her picks done tomorrow morning. And the Well, the idiot What's the lacrosse team in Calgary there?

The roughnecks had won. They could have, in Buffalo here, it's the final against McBride. McBride's in town this week. Is he? McBride didn't mind sticking it to the roughnecks again. I texted him after last weekend's victory. It was okay, well, of course.

I bet he is. Yeah. I bet he is. Next week, I'm headed to the hearing loss clinic. I've got it all set. I'm a little concerned. It feels like this has been a massive undertaking. I'm worried that the people listening are thinking to get into that the hearing loss clinic,

it's like you have to drive across a desert with no water. You've been talking about this for months. And now you're acting like you're, I'm in. Oh, like, what did you have to? give up sign over your will to them like no this is no fault of the hearing loss clinic yeah it's not it's not not yeah for a while well for a while it was are the is this hockey team in town gonna make the playoffs yeah and if they make that that's that was April it is June so okay but from and and from that point

they say not to cute tip your ears or whatever how can you not what if they're itchy because I'm the other way I'm every day in there every grind in a way because it just feels so like a dog you you get out of the shower isn't one of the first things you want to do is get in there just kind of oh that's good yeah not a at all no no it's not like the peak year day everything after the year twist is just not yeah pretty much well that's that's it what's what's in warner's years you know when you i reached it the other day there's a big potato there came out remember you'd go fishing and under a bridge there'd be like those swallows the birds and they'd build those nests out of mud you got a big swallow mud nest

in your ear hole the other side he's got some burned ends like oh well that's where those ones oh delicious love these No, there's some videos, man. You get on to TikTok or whatever and that algorithm finds it. You start looking at weird shit coming out of people's ears. It's like, how did you like that's a, that's a worm? How did you not feel that in your ear hole? Oh my God, stop it.

That's like it's. Yeah. The doctor. Anyway, none of that one for me that I was like, oh boy, like this is going to be a thing now in society where we can watch videos of people with like a kilogram of pus coming out of their neck. Like how did we get here? I don't know, but it's not going away now. That's the other thing. I don't know how people can have a zip or a pimple and not pop it.

How do you get to the point where it started about nine years ago? How did you not squeeze that thing? I mean, you just, are you not at all curious or do you not want to get that? I watched one the other day. Dude walks in. It's how they shot it. Oh, this, so Tom Terwilliger is, he's a grandfather and Hubie do. And he walks in.

And the way they've shot it, you just, okay, so, so what is it? Is it on his leg or whatever? And he turns the one way and dude's got a friggin dodge ball beside his can ear. Like dude. Years you've lived with that. You've stretched out your skin. Like you're buying, you're buying shirts to fit your friggin' watermelon on your neck. Hearing lost.

C. You're welcome. Founded in 1993. For Calgary, locations. Yeah. If you have a friggin watermelon growing on your neck, do not go to the hearing loss.

Unless it's like up there and you can't hear out of that ear. It may have nothing to do with your hearing. It just could be that you've got a grapefruit wedged against your earhole. Five locations in BC. Cranbrook, Crest, and Fernie, Golden End, In Vermeer. The list of people who have gone and had their life changed is lengthy. years and years. People have been going to the hearing loss clinic and walking out, feeling relieved and satisfied and enjoying life. Social life has changed. It's

empowering. There you see at the website hearing loss.ca, Twitter at the hearing loss, they're on Instagram. They're very engaged on social media. Check out all their stuff there. And if you are, if you're at all curious and it's kind of we've been talking about here at the house, you go get your teeth checked all the time. Maybe you go get your eyes checked. When have you got to get, why isn't that part? It should be part of that whole routine and cycle that you get checked on a regular basis. And no better place than the hearing loss clinic, hearing loss.ca. There you go.

I'm excited for you, Dean. Yeah, less excited. Less excited about it. Really, yeah. Do Betway Betts. Oh, you know what I wanted to say? Our buddy up at Madrose, Madrose Pub. Yeah. Somebody now it went out on our social media yesterday and it was not me.

It was like, hey, we're up. We're having pizza and some bruise on the patio. And there was the shot. Who went and there was no sonar that went out. There was nothing no mention of it. What happened? Is that you, Red? Wasn't you, Red. I stuck back into town. Oh, did you first? I needed some saw. Needed some wheel up there. Um, but it is that. The new patio, Matt and everybody have got the patio humming up at Madrose. And today being Thursday, I went, just wanted to check the specials. You're past the dishes are 25% off today.

And look out. Half, there are some drink specials. Wine, 50% off today. Oh, look out, ladies. Look out. Look out. Sweaty mouth now. Thanks, Dean.

That only ends one way, right? So, uh, so, uh, so should we just get a bottle of wine? Well, yeah, it's half off. Well, that'll be glurby glubb. Fluggy, pluggie, pluggins tomorrow Friday. I'm not going to work tomorrow. Fluck and plug a half price wine. That's how it goes. It doesn't need to, but that's generally how it goes. On their website, madrose.com. They have a list of daily, the lunch specials that are there every single day, Monday through Friday. But then every day of the week, Matt and the crew find a dish, a food, and then a beverage to also add to the specials. Awesome place.

The picks have been rolling in. I understand that things are going real well for them. We couldn't be happy. Mad Rose Pub in Royal Oak, 15 Royal Vista Place. Make a plan like Rhett did to get up there and have some pizza and bruise on the patio at Mad Rose Pub. What would your level of shock be if Matt found out Rett was in Calgary before we did? Like if it's just like, oh, hey, you guys, why didn't you come with Rett? You're like, what, Rett's in town?

I feel like he can just swing around from the airport. Oh, yeah. I was going to like, I just had to stop for a wheel. Like, look at him right now. Like his camera's frozen, right? Yeah, it's 100% frozen. I can't figure it out and trying to fix it. So my answer to being surprised anything, Rett,

surprise related is always 0%. He does not like that comment. I don't know where I'm I can't even find anyway. Hey, I heard that Rhett left his family and moved to Tibet and is living in a hut.

Zero percent shock. Yeah. Zero percent. A hot. Tibet's mountainous and if I'm going to leave the life of kids, I'm going to go to a beach. A beach locale. Not I would never leave my wife and kids.

What do you talk about? I would never leave my family. If I was going to leave my family, I'd go to a beach. You know, I mean, I have never thought about leaving my wife and family, but here are my top five destinations with this probability of happening. Number one. But if I did, hypothetically speaking. Betwebets, bet we bets.

Shoot, I didn't write mine down today. Hopefully, Jack, it was something about Kikuchi today, wasn't it? Cicay, every day, Kikuchi. Cicci Day, the bedway bats. Did that yet? Is that still going? Yeah. No, I did go to the Miliwakei Toronto game.

I did not hit on the old Alec Manoa. No, I was grimacing when you made that. It's a rough season. Good Lord. I just felt like, you know, you're going to turn the corner at some point. Yes, it was not that one. Kevin Gosman's been real good. He has had, I saw it this morning, eight or more Ks in four of his fast five.

Anyway, he's been pitching well. It's now eight, they, the bet that they have at Betway, they have six or more and then eight or more. So seven is kind of that sweet spot. I'm going to go more. I'm going to go over. I've got Kevin Gosman eight plus strikeouts plus 100. It's getaway day today, I believe. You're going to like this.

It's already underway. He's only pitched three innings, six. Kay's already. Unfortunately, people can't jump on with you since the game started, but fortunately, you're hammering this bet. It's looking really good. See, and I'm going to Toronto tonight, and the Jays are leaving. Yeah, they heard you're coming.

You're meeting up with Trilliv? I got some meetings and stuff, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Important stuff. So what do you think about Matthews? He's American, eh? you know what you get for him he's worried about taxes you should

you want me to go down to you want me to go down to Phoenix I'd go just don't book me a place at the Renaissance or if you do I'll just get my own place Brad you know I've been thinking about it for a while

you should really trade geo he's un-dusting yeah finally tree can make good on your trade geo yeah

five years too late. Okay, here's my bet way. I'm also in on the Jay's game. I'm looking for over one and a half total basis for Springer. O for two at last check, he needs a double or a couple singles. Walks don't count plus 105 there. And it's Cameloup's Peterborough in the Memorial Cup.

The Blazers, heavy favorites. So I'm going with the puck line minus a goal and a half. They've got to win by two or more plus 140. If you're curious, Quebec's waiting in the final, and the winner of this game will get Seattle in the semis. So everybody's still alive as we get into action today? I believe this is the tie break game because both Peterborough and Camelps are 1 and 2. All right.

Not Roy lost to Peterborough yesterday. It looked awful. Camloops. Camloops. Camloops. Those are your betway bets of the day. Get the Betway app on your phone. Play along.

Be responsible. In Ontario, 19 years of age. over bet the responsible way with betway uh you're going to toronto when tonight me or retort tonight that 14 minute private jet flight again hey yeah that's what i need it'll be great avoid traffic perfect what's happening in the big smoke no hockey games kids BS yeah so dumb watch out those CHL dads are a little bit crazy should be careful there well i met a few with it last weekend in national, you are correct on that, buddy.

Different worlds. Moving people around, paying for their houses and their rent. Yeah. It's been living in Skina for three weeks. I don't know what you're talking about. You're like, Connecticut, what are you talking about? Oh, no, no, that was weeks ago.

He's Trontonian now. Hey, babe, I got to put through Junior's hockey registration. Which house should I put as our home address? Is it the one in L.A. or in Phoenix? or Seattle or which one? If you come here. Oh, shit.

If you let me pay for your rent here in this town, I'll also pay for your private school. Oh, God. Greasy. We sold that house a couple years ago, but I pay the guy to just kind of shush pass along the registration forms when they come through. Kid hockey.

Kid hockey. It's really, it's really coming around though, right? These stories are really becoming less and less every year. At least it's getting more reasonable. Oh, yeah, yeah. Every year, it seems like we've all come more and more to our senses, which is nice. So will we have you on the program tomorrow? I think so on my phone like this.

What other job can you do this at? Like if you work for the bank, can you be like, I might come into more. Which one of us idiots could work for a bank numbers, please. None of us anymore. I feel like that boat's past a ship sailed. You know, Ryan, this radio thing seems a little risky. Why don't you pick up a few hours at the bank there in Penticton? Fuck that.

All right, man. I can book a vacation day, if that's, how do I do that? Yeah, put the paperwork through. Send it the facts to the Woolgreen. Fax to check in. So do we want to share any news about the show? Because I know next week something's happening and then eventually said like, do we want to? Well, let her buck.

I got two minutes before we've got a guest showing up at the studio. I've got a tour around. All right. We'll bugger. Screw it. We'll do it. We'll do it. Big T's.

Cliffhanger. Yeah. Have a great tune, everybody. Robert Rabbit. See you.
