that's put into the live YouTube chat will go to the U-Centers of Calgary. At some point. At some point, we'll get it there. I think you should be generous today. It is the opening week of the NFL season and everyone's looking for good karma. Rett's already trying to mix in some good karma this morning.

That's what I'm all about. Supporting people, a man of the community, a pillar. Yeah. Are you all by complaining out on the way here, I was talking to people on the phone saying how crappy things are making the rounds so i let it out yeah now i feel great you got to let it out you got to let it off get it off your chest low the steam that's right dealing with an injury boys it's a bad one

okay so we were guessing before like a sports well no i took a sip of my coffee and i went ooh and you're like oh it's a bad coffee to no not a bad coffee i have a nasty corn eating injury corn eating injury. He sliced the inside of your your gums? I don't need to tell you guys, maybe some people watching and listening, you may not be aware of something called Tabor corn.

Delicious. Tabor Alberta, it's a town just south, right? Southeast, up here. And they are synonymous and famous with having tremendous corn on the cob. Great corn. And it's prime time.

Oh, it's corn season. Oh. Oh, you should be picking up some corn on your runs back and forth to the hat. It's still on the way or not really. Not really. Towards left bridge. Good of you to jump in though. But having a big feed of corn two days ago, you know what it's like.

It's boiling and bubbling. Oh, boy, get the butter going salt. Can't wait to get in on this. Yeah. She was a little too hot. Oh, no. No. The roof.

Oh, you blistered it. You're blistered right there. Oh. Oh. It's just a thing like your tongue will heal quickly. It's very good at healing. Yeah. Because you need it to eat.

Teno. With the roof of your mouth, that's not a quick healing. It's not great. You're better than that. Rookie. It's a bit of a rookie move for sure. I don't want to have any negative curve.

That's on you, buddy. That's. So, yeah, there's, it's been an issue for sure. It'll be fine. A more 48 hours. The popped corn tonight, maybe the move. Mouth is a wonderful healing organism. Good to know.

Well, hopefully my organism is ready for game time. Yeah. What are you going to have anything on the menu, something special? Well, I know I have to make dinner. I was told about that. Is that new? No. It seems like a daily event.

Yeah, pretty much standard activity around the house. Right. I ever, no, I don't, I, it's got to be something, though. Is it something that you can spin into football? Like just maybe a big old chilly. Start time. It's not great out. It's not great out.

No, it's a little chilly thing. You could do fall. This is football weather. Could you do stew? It's early for stew, I feel. I didn't get a winter. Chili. Chili.

For sure, it feels like a hot dip of some sort. The buffalo chicken dip. Some sort of a hot, maybe the buffalo chicken dip. Could pull that out. That's. What was? the dill dip you were hammering on? Oh, that'd be a move tonight?

Dill pickled pickled. Yeah, diled pickles. It's not warm. It's just dip. Yeah. And it's, and I've got some fried chicken in the fridge. That tastes good, too. Yeah. That's what it's good. You know, it's done. Yeah. Yeah. That's happened.

You don't need to argue about it. Yeah, that's happening for sure. What about the pizza dip? You ever made my, you've told me about the pizza dip. I've never made it. You should try it. I think it'd be a hit. I think the kids and the family that you employ would very, very much. It would be good. What's for dinner? Dips.

Yeah. What do we did? Well, there's some ripple chips. There's some nacho chips. There's some French bread that's been cubed. There's a piece of celery if you're really what we want to do. There's some carrot, baby carrots in there. I'm sure if you look for them, probably molding up in the back of the fridge.

Somebody forgot to throw out. Yeah, it's going to be dip night. Taking a dip. When you dip, I dip, we dip. Is that a song? We're just playing that for the show. Great tune. Love it.

Love it. There's football tonight. What time is it started again? What time are we playing football? I said 620, but let me check that again. I can't decide if I'm excited about 620. I wish there was two games tonight. 620 is great for two game night.

You know what they're doing, though? They're going to give you a game tomorrow as well. They're going to go to Brazil. The problem with that is that's wonderful, but and I'm as lazy as they come but I you Thursday Friday Sunday and it's a big ask it's a heavy heavy workload right there I got baseball practice at six what did you say kids play baseball so dump him a baseball right to the game that's what jack said the other day is I got kids there's been baseball oh yeah fall balls you have to be some sort of

ass clown to put your kids in the fall baseball in Alberta. Actually, it might be better than spring. They play spring and fall. It's it. Oh, that's it. Just spring and fall. So just half your spring rained out.

And then you end up getting like 10 games. In fairness. That's the point we're getting at is that you'd think you'd learn your lesson in April, May, and June when you can't go outside and you're getting pissed on. If any, no, no, I'm back for October, baby. Let's get it. You should be just skipping spring baseball in the. this city altogether.

Oh, any outdoor sport in the spring. Play indoor lacrosse, play indoor something. Soccer? I'll tell them to switch. Cricket. They don't love baseball because they love baseball. They love it because idiot dad likes to drink and beer. No, they love baseball.

It's weird. I didn't expect them to. They don't know baseball. So you have no influence on them. You're saying they're just free. I love all the sports. They want to play soccer. They can play soccer.

They can do that indoors or outdoors. They like baseball. How did the Crystal Waters thing work? out the other day. Oh, you're doing the crystal waters. Rita, they're at my house. It's fixed. No more leaky. No, the faucet still leak. I got to have come back for that, but the tub's not like his house. What's going on at that? Shacky or so I thought you, uh, who built this palatial mansion on a lake anyway? This guy was dialed in. He was dialed in on something.

Yeah, he had it figured out for sure. He was running for the border with a suitcase full of dollar bill. He got away. Scott, Scott, Freit. Did I? There was no, maybe lost the business, but other than that, he still got the bag. Yeah. But yeah, today we were talking about the other day.

We're going to be starting up our, our insiders very soon, presentation of Crystal Waters, plumbing and heating. It's now at the time. It's a little bit chillier out there. You talk about if you're thinking about, if you're even thinking about cooking stew, you better get your furnace looked at. It's true.

Don't be silly. Don't be a silly goose. And then, oh, I'm just going to switch. it from cool off heat I'm sure it'll be fine it'll be totally fine. Oh did you for six months? How's the filter? Do you look at you got you better change the damn filter now. You better change the filter at the very least.

Crystal waters plumbing and heating your crystal clear choice for home comfort 403 219 4,100 check them out at crystal clear Calgary.com. I put a thing in my phone because I've been trying to get better at it. Replace furnace filter. You're supposed to do it fairly regularly quarterly. So I've been putting it in a, okay. I bought like a 10 pack of filters. I'm ready to go.

And it was like a week ago. There's the thing. I just like I just changed it. That seems to pull the thing out. Oh my God. Good God. What kind of a pig stye are we living in here? It was time to change the filter.

Smoking here. Boom, boom. Yeah. Any animals in there? Just keep in the same. Couple. Oh, speak of which. You know,

so what do you do on your days off? You know, yesterday was kind of a day off. course we enjoyed it um i like to do the old dog park oh yeah we get up in the morning load up the hounds we've had this discussion grab a coffee so you're subjecting my poor pooch you to the halacious they love place called the dog park oh now the only thing's and gross the only thing that uh now this is not your hound but um the only thing my hound bear loves more than the dog part is timbits oh hey easy easy oh loves timbits does he the littlest hope already another last one oh can you easy easy easy he was a good boy

The rain push things back. As you may have noticed, there was a shower or two in July. Oh, it was a tough to get through some projects, but, uh, no, we're close. And by close, I mean, it's better than it was yesterday. They were there.

They were there something. They were there this morning. Anyway, so that's what, what did you guys do on your day off yesterday? I had balls. I went to the golf range. That right. Yeah, yeah. You love doing summer things in late summer.

Yeah. I got a golf thing next weekend. the annual idiots trip where we're right. I remember that I remember this routine where you've got the summer off and then you need days off to go into your dumb golf trip and you start to golf because you think you're going to be good for the golf

not going to go hit golf balls once but not at a sims don't go to a golf sims they'll screw up things a goddamn liar you shut 79 at pebble beach I'm going to win this thing 120 this thing where I'm inside a room hitting balls into a it's not real it's not real enough It's not realistic. But I don't, how come I didn't shoot the exact same at a real course?

Why did I shoot double? This is so dumb. See how good I want? Yeah. Yeah. It's not a simulator. It's a fabricator. Just a bunch of lies.

A bunch of lies. You're a goddamn liar, Mr. Lundegarde. That's right. Lying liar. We'll do our football picks coming up for Bet 365. Oh, baby. Game tonight. Game tomorrow, like you said.

And then, of course, on the weekend. four primetime games all quite appetizing. I guess I forgot. I don't know. I never brought it up when we did the show on Tuesday. There's, I think when there's a big potential kind of a sports story, some people,

they're too close to it. So if you're a fan, I don't want someone with the team to tell me about it because they're invested. They got skin in the game. But what's the real story? Yeah. And I thought of you, Pinder, because you're, I mean, you're not invested in it.

Sorry to ruin your day. And I should have asked you, but I guess I'll do it now. Yeah. Because I think that probably fans would want someone like you who doesn't have a vibe one way or the other. The Connor McDavid contract not being signed. There's no extension in place. There's thoughts he might enter the season on the final year. Just, you know, call it lame duck or just whatever you want to call it.

But, you know, Euler media, they're going to. going to be going one way. I just figured you're probably the guy. People will be waiting to hear what you think. Because people in Toronto, they're clearly cheerleading for them. Yeah, Toronto. They want them in there. He's never going to leave. Everyone loves Edmonton. It's a great city.

Just listen to all these people in Edmonton tell you so. So you need someone that's going to play it down the middle. Straight facts. Right. No bias. I mean, is there a concern if you're an oiler fan? If you had asked an oiler fan after the Stanley Cup final, what date they should be worried about Connor McDavid not being signed,

you've passed all those dates. no it doesn't mean he won't sign and we'll have more in the pinned report because we can get into the minutia of it yeah yeah but uh everyone's no no it's gonna be you know july one he's gonna stay maybe a couple weeks leon signed on this date well leon's wedding and then after leon's wedding they're gonna very busy and all the in-house people that are very close to the oilers or is at a wedding they were at the lake together weren't they they spent a lot of time together yeah but all those dates have passed And so I think if you're an Oilers fan, you're probably lying to yourself if you're not worried,

but that doesn't mean he's living out. Well, they lie to themselves anyway. That's correct. Yeah. Look where they live. This is true. They've made that choice. It's great here.

I love it. Keep going. Hideous. So we can either dive all the way in right now on this or we leave for the pit and I'm happy to do it now. I have no problem with that. Let's get into it right now. Okay, good.

So Connor is in town for the team Canada stuff. I actually chat with Josh Morrisy the other day, ran to him. and he was one of the numerous players invited to the evaluation camp. And they did their media stand up. And sure enough, you can only get a couple of questions in about not being on the ice and the Olympics in Italy in February before Connor gets asked about his contractual status. And Chris Johnson is the lead NHR writer at the athletic and was all over things.

Connor McDavid says he still wants to take his time before working on a contract extension with the Oilers. Quote, I have every intention to win in Edmonton. Now, he does have a year left on his contract, and I would hope he'd try to win in Edmonton. And I think he does. But that quote does not say anything beyond the final year of his contract in Edmonton. So you can interpret any way you want. If you want to be glass half Toronto, you say it's one and done.

And if you're glass at Edmonton, you're like, look, he's saying he wants to be in Emerton. He's saying he wants to win. What else do we need here? What's the contract? More from C.J. Sam Ranhart and Sidd with him there, by the way. Connor McDavid is in no hurry to sign an extension with you.

At least he's comfortable entering the season without a new deal. This is the place that Oilers fans five months ago would say they wouldn't be comfortable. Entering the season without a new contract. And so why is this the case? Well, if you're just looking at Connor, you'd say, geez, this is an outlier. But Jack Eichel's a free agent in a year. Karelka-Preezov's a free agent in a year. Connor's a free agent in a year.

There's a lot of big names that are up in a year. Nobody signed. And so if you're an Oilers fan, that's a positive because you have this incredible cap growth and you know what the cap hits are going to be for the next three years, 105, 115, 114. 94 and a half this year, whatever it is. I don't think any agent wants to make the first move because they don't want to play off the others. And they're massive increases in the cap year to year.

Huge. 10 million a year, basically. So he's going, if he's a, I'm a 20% guy. And he's never been, but that would be about 20 million next year on the first year of his new deal. Yeah. And so I don't think we're going to see a lot of term here unless teams absolutely give the guy the bag, like beyond the market. So in my mind, Carol Caprizo is going to make more than Leon Drys. Because there's way more information about the cap. And he might not be quite as good as Leon, but he's a superstar in this league.

And what are the Wild without him? They pretty much, they got all that caps. He's just opened up for Parisian Souter. So like if I tell you, Carill is going to ask for 17, are the Wild saying no? Yeah, I can't imagine. If it's eight years, like when the cap's $125 million, that's no problem. And that's halfway through that deal probably or less. So I guess just in terms of McDavid.

Yeah. And so if I'm McDavid's agent, I want to see what Carrell's getting get. I want to see what Jack Eagles get because we're going to ask for way more. Or you just say it's a max deal or I'm out of him. It's fine. I don't think that Connor McDavid has to wait for anyone. If he wants to ask for a max deal, they would say yes. And then so that's the one angle is the cap.

The other angle is how good is this team? Because it's the same D, which I think is a very good decor. It's the same goaltending, which we don't think is very good goal tending. And look at this forward group that I'm in a flash. Same city. Look at this. You've got a kid that's never played an NHL game on the top line. Same crime.

Same potholes. Follow me here. All right. Ike Howard. Ike district. You are a great college player. You're 23. You've never played an NHL game.

You're a top line around. our team. Stay with me. Vasily Pod Colson. You were a really good fourth liner in and out in the lineup on your last two teams. You're a second liner. Matthew Savoy, you put up 50 points of the HL and you're 5-9. You're a second liner. Trent Frederick, you're a good fourth-liner in Boston. You play third line here. I can't find her mediate. I thought we were big on the little guys nowadays. It could be. It's just that you don't know it's going to work. It might be awesome. But what I'm trying to paint the picture of is there's about six guys that could work, but are all of them? them going to work. Frederick was a great

fourth liner in Boston. Manjapani played his way to the fourth line here before he did it in Washington. Not as much foot speed there. Love the player probably scores a lot of playing with Leon. Sure. Casperi Kappanit. Waverclam. Matiasianmark, fourth liner. Henrique probably bumps up to 3C

and you put Nugent Hopkins on the wing. But like, who's their third best winger here, guys? Like Igor Sharon Golwitch would be their third best winger. That's horrifying. So if Connor shows up and this team is just okay, Why in the world did you commit any term and go back? They've got one of the worst prospect pipelines in the NHL.

They haven't improved their net mining. And you cannot tell me that forward group is better than last years. It just isn't. But they did just go to the Stanley Cup finals as well back to back. Right. But not with those six guys I just mentioned, who are all slotted above where they played last year. So I think he's saying, A, the cap, we're not sure what a top player is going to make. But I could ask for Max if I want.

And if I think we've got a chance to win for the next. five years. I might even give the team a deal, but look at all these guys that, A, were fourth liners last year, B, didn't play in the league that we've got slotted way up the death chart. Do you think it comes, money has any impact? I think for the agent and for his brother and it does, because you know what the PA is. And you know, when he's, I know, but he can go wherever the F he wants and say I want Max deal. And so that's why, if when you look around, it would work the opposite way where the PA would be phone in Conner saying, hey, Damas, get out of Edmonton and take it all.

Take Max. Yeah. And so I would love to come in and say he's gone. It's over. It's over. He's gone. Okay. Thank you, Rhett.

You'll wear that hat today. There's still, I think he could still resign in Edmonton. It's just, I think he wants to know they're going to be good, not just for next year. And I'm sorry, they got a shitty prospect. He's a hockey nerd. You don't think that anything's, he's growing up and realizing that. I'm going to stay here for my whole life. Yeah, he's,

he's been there 10 years. He's put some time in there. 10 years of zero cups. That's enough. And I know that the cup thing is a major thing, but I think you, it's all he cares about. Well,

that's, so are the position? He's got a bigger percentage chance of staying in Edmonton, then if you're, if that's what? I don't know what that for a, well, I really don't.

What's the point you're making? The point I'm making is that he, he's so good wherever he goes is going to have a chance to win a cup. Doesn't that stay in F and Edmonton to do it. And there are teams. And there's better places to live and make a ton more money and be better for the league to have your superstar somewhere else. And?

And and and and and end and. What about an incredibly popular and trendy pink pony club restaurant? His wife can design in a city not named Edmonton. You hate to say it, but it's more of a fact. actor in today's NHL. See, Jack, I just wanted some impartial takes on. And there it is, is what I want. Yeah, no bias there.

You're welcome. I've heard lots of oiler media on it, some leaf media. I just wanted to really kind of, let's cut through the chaff and really get down to some unprejudiced thoughts. I'm sure your interior design restaurant, your skills are maxed in Edmonton. There's no bigger places or more illustrious places to be. He, what he hasn't done. And you saw with that clip, uh, well, he didn't see the clip, but that quote.

He's not going to do any favors. It's still very much in a, I'm an oiler. I have a contract, I probably, but show me that we're going to, that you're in, that we're going to do this. What do you do?

If you're in management. Yes, that's a great question. Fun question. Carter's going to get all the money and play wherever he wants. That's easy. Like you know they're going to pass the blank check across. Like, well,

okay, yeah, I know. Just write your number. But there's 31 others. When he doesn't sign that blank piece of paper. That's when the... Yeah, there's 31 other teams that are going to give me a blank check. That's great.

Yeah. How's our goal tending? Same as last... You know what might happen is we get into the season and Stuart Skinner is like, look, see, we knew it. We had faith in Skinner. He's been real good. And then you get to the playoffs, like, okay, yeah, this is kind of fool me once, fool me twice. Of course, it's a big part of it.

And he's seen enough of Edmonton and knows the team well enough to have questions, even though they've been to back-to-back finals. And right? Like, we're talking like the others are crap again. And it's like, well, they, back-to-back finals. Yeah. No. They're a good team and they're a contender.

They're not favored to win the division. And it's the most turnover he's seen year over year, probably in a while. The thing that they might be able to trump it is that, yes, the cap is going up and that's going to be more money for you, but also this cap. Pinch the jail that we're in. Yeah. It's going to. And Rylondon.

sign guys right now. We're going to use the Savoy's and the Howard's and the guys that aren't, we're going to keep our powder dry so that as we go up in year two, year three, as we move forward here, if you're here, we can then go to market or we can then get guys. I still think that

every other organization in the league is going to say that. But I'm just saying, but that's, but that's why I keep going back to it it's a cheap it's not a cheap shot. Edmonton is not New York. York City or LA or Vegas or Florida or even frickin Nashville.

The last time they won the division was 86, 87. They've not won the division of the regular season in Connors lifetime. Isn't that wild? Who cares? I mean, they're a good team. And they were very good the last two playoffs. But you have replaced steely playoff veterans with wide-eyed rookies that haven't played Lally.

You're being chintz. Wow. No, I'm not. Yeah, but you were shit-talking. talking the steely. Oh, like six months ago. No,

we hate Cory Perry. We can all acknowledge he played one. We can all acknowledge Cory Perry helping the playoffs as crazy as that was. But you're shit talking to these guys. You're shit talking. You can have Cory Perry in your top line. That was wrong in hindsight.

So we'll take the L. is there a chance you could be wrong that maybe? I think some of those young guys that haven't played in the league at all that they're putting into really big roles could be fine. but there's no chance all those things work. I'm sorry. And like you probably need a lot of those for work.

I think you're just chintzin on the things that don't matter. Like who's playing with McDavid? I coward apparently. And you know what it is? So what? So is Hyman. How many guys does McDavid need? Yeah.

Can you skate? Yeah. Can you go to the net? Do you know, do you have a stick? Can you grip it? Just hold of it. Yeah. Like,

like, Chase on got 20 there. Like, come on. Yeah. It's just if you're going to commit any, any term to Edmonton, what's coming? What it does? They haven't been able to have in freegency.

I still think it's only dusters that. It's, it's that and do I want to stay in Edmonton? And there's a few things that really matter now. The start to their season, I think matters, how the goalie plays. Especially. Any injuries? I think like any banana, like you think about what if, what if quitting byfield doesn't whiff on a puck this time around and they lose in round one?

Or what if McDavid gets hurt or? Hey, Evan Bouchard getting hurt? It's like, yeah, they've been, are they, are they, They're just going to go to their third straight cup final. People make it sound easy. A lot of shit has to go right for that to happen. I wonder, though, if he would have any different opinion. Losing round one or not?

What's he going to be saying right now? It's funny. I'm in Edmonton and I'm going to win. Do you know what I mean? The situation for McDavid's not, he knows what he's doing. We're all sitting here. Oh, what if he? Like, he knows.

He's probably, there's a very good chance. He's going to go to free. agency. The question becomes, what does the GM do? If it's December 1 and you're second in the Pacific and you're Stan Bowman, are you taking calls on the best player? Or are you walking them right? Like, you can't win in that small. Do you think that Connor McDavid winning in Edmonton makes him want to stay in Edmonton more or less? If he won this year, it might even be quicker. It's hard to say. Exactly. I did my duty to this city. Goodbye.

Thank you. But the December 1 question is wild because like, imagine the media circus if it was out there that Connor might not resign and he's being shocked well it has to be one of those darkenite wayne gretsky moves that no one saw coming like the miko rantan and like if that ever be like it would be a bleeping circus every single day he showed up to work i just think about that you think rasmus is a distraction maybe i can maybe i'll be proven wrong i just can't imagine that you would ever ever get there you No, we are going to get to summer and we'll sign him. We are not going to be the team that traded Gretzky and McDavid.

Like we're not doing it. You're the team that had Gretzky and McDavid as well. Yeah. And Messiae. I just don't imagine. They all left. You would just have faith that something in the end, his allegiance to your brand would come through.

But I wonder. The loyalists believe that. Yeah. Like I wonder. People who haven't lived in Edmonton don't get it. There was that different tone this year. A year ago, it was again game seven but the tears and the heartbreak and that this year it felt much more

cold from connor yeah yeah a year one was just devastation and trauma i should have done born year two is anger is there any part of that say that again he didn't make a difference in those last games he didn't make a difference in game seven and let's stand it's it's whenever you criticize the best player in the world it sounds like a cheap shot it is but he didn't if he had a hat trick at game seven they win yeah i'm not you don't blame it yeah and be fair like the best checking center on earth he sees in the final two years in a row that's tough but look if you're the best play in the world you got to find a way to be better than barcobs checking but yeah he's still dragging and you know aside from leon and bouchard like who is a stand out there it's just a bunch of shit

thrown at the wall at holmes another year older he wasn't great when he got back from injury i don't know this level and balanced take brought to you by the hearing loss clinic Oh, isn't that nice, hearing loss.ca. Locally owned and operated here to help. It's not about hearing loss or impairment. It's about empowering people to be socially active, more connected with loved ones.

Travis and Sabrina Rhodes, they are great people, they are great Cogarians, and they just continue to give back to the community. They take care of people. And you and I have both been in there, and we both, I think, can speak from experience. There's not a feel of,

well, we need to sell this person some hearing aids. It's a, what's happening? How can we, what can we do to make your life better? That's the most kind of striking and noticeable thing for me anyway. Custom ear protection, musician molds, whatever, you know. That's good. Look at them.

Got to have them. Take care of your ears, ladies and gentlemen. Helping you hear better is simply their way of helping you live better. Book an assessment today with the hearing loss clinic, hearing loss.ca. Can I put one final bow on it? I know you're dying to. He's not telling us what he's doing and he's being very careful with his words. And if you're an Oilers loyal,

you can read in that he wants to stay. And if you're a Leafs Hardo that has been counting down the days for the last three seasons, he's going to be a leaf, you can spin it that he's come to Toronto. I would say this. If I was his PR person, communications, agent, he's doing exactly what I'd say he should do. Yeah, I don't think, I'm committed to winning in Edmonton.

I don't buy the loyalist bullshit because if he was, if, if you are an oil, we don't have to harp on this. If he wanted to sign at Edmonton, he'd sign. Don't tell me that he's waiting for me. more money. He gets all the money. He can get all of it. He can ask for 20 million. I think the cap's going to be $150 million next year, Dean. Give me the max. Yeah. It's set it like 104, 105. Like it's 20 and change. If you wants it, they cut it tomorrow. They have no other choice. The, the, the, the plateaus over the next like three years.

94 and a half, 104 and then 114, something like that. Yeah. Well, then nine to half to 10 years. If it's three million more and you can only get 20% of the $300,000 isn't going to be the. No, it's not that. It's like from. I know. Yeah. But. That's the point. When it goes from 104 to 114 to 114, to 120 whatever,

maybe I'll sign a two year deal. Yeah. On the 104 and jump back in. Why hasn't he done it? Well, that's, that's the question. That's the,

but I do think he signs. I think it's a short-term deal. Yeah. I wouldn't marry the pipeline there. And I'd let the, I'm fine with letting them sweat a little bit. It is interesting, though, it's all kind of his.

For what? I don't understand. your take on if he loves it and wants to be in edmonton what are you fair like i don't i don't know if he does like i do think that there is a so it's an internal turmoil and if you're coner the best choice for you if you get outside of the box and you can do whatever you want i don't know you personally is to get the hell out of there i guess i don't know that it's turmoil i the way i turmoil you're going i have a loyalty to this team they've been good to me i get that part i don't hate playing at edmonton i like my teammates we've had a chance to win two Stanley Cups.

This is. That's hard to do. But I can make any money I want and I don't have to live in Edmonton. And it might have a better chance at winning a cup. With a better roster and better goalies. I think the loyalty thing, it runs so far. And I think he's probably hit it. Yes.

What are, okay, I like a decade. I'm here. And I'm, you know, I'm, I'm your guy. But what are we doing with our golden? What are we doing in the, yeah, whether. doing with our travel i can go to the east coast and have an hour flight for 90% of the year you were my junior coach and you were my agent and we're all buddies but you know what i want more than anything in the world and it's to win a cup and are we closer i just i need you to show me a little bit

here i agree and i think he's making them work for it and i don't think that's a bad thing i think the biggest challenge for loyalty for him isn't the team isn't the coach isn't the gm isn't the owner it's his best pal Leon. That's going to be his toughest divorce if he leaves. And I'm sure there'll be pals and all that, but like, that's his hardest one to walk in and go get me the out of here. No, it certainly is. Superstars ask you traded, they get moved. Any pro sport. With the cap going up, that money he's making is, that's actually quite affordable. A lot of teams to probably fit that in. I hope it works out for the, uh, your old pal tree. Everyone, everyone involved. Just for whoever. For somebody, I hope it works out. You know, I will be cheering for him this season.

Because it's an Olympic year, which is always fun. That's great. Guys, are the dome cheer for them? Like they're playing in Italy, but yeah. No, you, in the dome podcast, guys. Right over his head. Usually he's real cool. No, they don't cheer for Canada.

No, McDavid's on the team. They're too bitter, but it's beautiful. I got to go. That was the place he was making. Phillips. Jeez. A little rusty. I'm going to do enough shows.

I guess so. Somewhere I'll fix that next week. I keep cutting. You ain't bleeding. We're going to Nashville. Oh, baby. The big humans flying in the Nashville. Is that right?

Today, you're a little pre-couches? He's not staying in Nashville. Oh, really? Landing in Nashville driving two hours. You should get a ticket for that. To not even have one beer on Broadway, that's a fine. Yeah, that's one of those things, though. You can't have one on Broadway.

That's a lot. It's a wedding. Yeah, do you even dip your toe? Right? I was going to make an inappropriate analogy there and then I could stop myself. But you don't have to fly to Nashville and leave. You can stay right there. Just the trip, Dean.

The Barn Burder Vacation. Iha! Can I get a Yeha? I don't know if they're yeha. Do they not Yeha? Well, I wish they would. They sing. Maybe we will.

Hooting and hollering. October 31st to November 3rd, the barn. Barnburner vacation, the Nashville edition, made possible by our friend Chelsea LaBelle at Expedia Cruises. She put a bunch of work in. Well, what if you have flights or you don't need flights? So you want single occupancy, double occupancy. You meet us there, whatever it is. She has put together different options and price points for you.

You just got to get there. We've told stories about Nashville. And if you've been, it's funny, there's still a few people. It's like, you know, I've never been to Nashville. It's like, wow. It's a bucket list. It really is. All the stories that have come out,

because I remember you'd hear it's like, oh, Nashville is a cool spot. Really, eh? Oh, they were at, friends from the lake. She plays the guitar and sings country music. She hasn't been to Nashville. And she loves pubs and bars.

And they have not been to Nashville. Outta boy, Josh. Outta boy. Josh is in. Just bought a ticket for the Nashville trip. What do we got? round trip direct flights from calgary to nashville bus transportation to and from the airport three nights stay at a downtown walkable because the the bridgestone arena is right on broadway one lower bowl

ticket to go and see calgary nashville hockey one upper bowl football ticket to see tennessee los angeles football it is the lightning bolt l a that's the ram l a so there you see they've got a full package single occupancy the full deal double non-flight packages available there as well because maybe you're... My wife works for what my new airlines. Maybe you want to drive down there. We've got a huge following.

Carolina, Alabama. They're just going to zip in and do you get tickets with us. So there you go. Go to nationgear.ca. That is the website where you'll find it. That's the one we're looking at right now. It says travel. Click on the travel link and you'll find it there.

Don't pay too close attention to the low stock. Now, they are moving, which is good. But don't feel like, wow, there's not. so I'm not going to bother. We'll get you in there. Yeah, you said yesterday. It's a good point. Like, we don't know how many are going to be double occupancy versus single.

So they can switch some rooms over. Don't be worried. We got to get her done quick. Slide some singles over to doubles. It doubles to singles. We'll do that for it. Put some bunk beds in if you need, whatever you need. Whatever you need.

We're very good that way. But we're pumped. That is, and again, what is September or whatever it is, fourth. Jackie had your Halloween costume planned or what? He's going to be a mess on something. Oh, boy. Is he going? I think Jack's coming out of.

I'm coming either way. Either with you guys or by myself, I'll be there. That's right. Are we bringing costumes? Is that happening? It's Halloween and it's Broadway. You go ahead. I feel like I'm going to dress up as a cowboy.

Yeah. Me too. They call it the Bachelorette capital of the U.S. I wonder if there'll be any. Maybe I'll be a male stripper then. Yeah. Make some dough. And then Saturday is a app.

The hockey game is a matinee. The hockey game is a matinee. game look out one word couldn't be any better and as you said it really allows you to get a good night sleep in before the football game sunday you can be tucked in by seven eight o'clock at night easy no problems yeah oh boy get on it because you know what it is summer's over and i got nothing oh fall sucks it's depressing is that right get yourself something to look forward to how about that it might be nice till right around then it'll start getting crappy because it's Halloween and in Halloween in Calgary always raining and snowing.

So yeah, that's right. Just figuring out Googling with the pink drinks at the National Predators games. I don't know if you remember those, you might have missed the game or? No, I was at that game. You were the one that showed up late with your new blue zippy hoodie. I'd fall asleep at the toilet. The TV was on and the first intermission,

the alert woke me up and I was like, time to go. That's right. We should see her. Ah, yeah, I came on the last trip. I didn't even see the goddamn game. Maybe I should come a guy. They have frozen rosé in the upper concourse. That wasn't it.

Pink cute drinks. Oh, yeah. I just know we were in that spot where it was like, those drinks were a drink. Strong. Ideal. So we'll get to the Pinder report in a moment. I thought I would show you guys this. This is what I was doing some editing this morning.

We're all excited for football to start. And I get some people like, well, I don't really get the NFL and that. I said, okay. Less and less. But I feel like more and more, whether it's because of online gaming, like about 365, or it's your fantasy football or whatever, people are crazy for the NFL. So it starts tonight. You're not going to match the passion of this next guy.

John Gruden loves football. And boom. Well, he had that birthday wish for you. He did have that birthday. Oh, you went here, though. Big fan of the show. He has, he's working with bar stool sports. And he's doing stuff with them.

And he's got his own YouTube. So he's previewing. games. I don't know. At the time that, I don't know where he sleeps. He doesn't. He hammers cuff. I watched a two and a half hour John Gruden breaking down the AFC North yesterday. Yes. This is what he's doing. Jack sends me this at like 5 am. I'm like, dude, do you, like you need to sleep. What are you doing watching two and a half hours John Grude? He did like a 45 minute tee up of tonight's game. Just one game. And then Michael Parsons got trade. It's like, shit, we got to do it again. So he redid the whole thing. Rather than show you the

45 minutes. I tried to condense this down. There's no one else. This is a great rivalry. I was a part of this rivalry for three years. Back in 1995, the Dallas Cowboys came to Philadelphia. I was the offensive coordinator. 13-13 tie late in the game, fourth quarter. Head coach Barry Switzer of the Cowboys on fourth and one from his own 25-yard line goes for it. They hand the ball to Emmett Smith behind Moose Johnson. Kab boom! Man, we get the ball. We're going to win the game. Well, they said we took a time out. They made us do it again. They gave Dallas a do-over.

Switzer went for it again. Same handoff, Aikman to Emmett. Bam! We knocked it out again. Got the ball kicked their ass. We won the game. Still, I get goosebumps. Greatest day of my life.

A couple years later, we were in Dallas. I was offensive coordinator. They kicked our ass. I was walking to the press box, getting to the elevator, and all these cowboy guys with cowboy hats, they said, come on back here next year, boy. We love having you.

Well, we came in there with Ty Detmer. And we shredded them, man, and we had an interception, pick six, took it to the house. This is a big rivalry. While the Philadelphia Eagles hoist up a world championship banner, that should piss off Dallas. 81 to 13. That was a can of whoopass that exploded on Dallas. Hell, none of these guys even play in the preseason anymore. What about the officiating?

It's their first game, too. You think these guys make all the right calls? Hell no, are you out of your skull? They blow a lot of calls. They haven't been officiating together either. I was nervous the first game as a broadcaster for crying out loud. There's a lot of nerves, man. Who replaces Parsons?

You think the cowboys are done with no edge rushers? Hell no. I'm trying to stick up for Dallas. Nobody else is. Everybody says, ah, Jake Elliott had a down year last year. Bullshit. He's 26 for 27 all time in the playoffs. Man, he's a nice man.

This guy could probably kick an extra point from the Rocky Balboa statue over. at the old Superdome. That's no shit. Can you imagine what the Giants feel like up the street thinking that's something that was on our team? God dang it. He broke a record, man. If you're going to play a single high defense and load the box, you better do it late. Or Hertz will see it. He'll make a hand signal over there and AJ Brown. He's built like Jim Brown. My God, if I had a body like that, man, I'd be at the beach. Empty the tank, empty the clip. Let's freaking go, man. When you're in a no back set, there are no running backs. You think? You think it's a run or a pass?

A pass. Well, they have designed runs that'll kick your ass. He led to country in sacks. I'm telling you, they were sitting around watching film going, let's get this sum bitch out there, man. Hello. This guy's a summits, man. He's good, man.

That could be a real problem for you. You know what I mean? You know, when I was a kid, I remember my dad talking about Don Perkins. And Calvin Hill, I remember when I was just starting to put on my football pants. Not to be, you know, sarcastic, but what does an owl say? Who? Who is there? teacher back. What the hell are they doing with their run game? I don't know. Here we go. That's football.

Yeah, he's, uh, he's the best. He's so good. Working with, uh, with Barstool and he's obviously doing stuff on Fox there now, but it's going to be a sad day when he goes back in the sidelines, because he's going to coach again. The guy should be a coach. But man, we are going to miss out on a lot of good shit. I hope he's doing a pump up videos at the end of each week like he did last those were unreal who john gruden that's the kind of work ethic you guys should bring if we just not work ethic and passion he's got like two massive whiteboards oh there's been a trade whole thing i'm just crazy i'll do it again it's no big deal he's a tell us straighter did he give a peck at the end of that i didn't see he didn't do a picks he didn't do well keep

he's hanging he's sticking up for dallas which he's thinking i mean who's picking i mean we can do our picks i suppose well it spreads obviously the great equalizer but It's eight and a half points or eight, depending where you're looking. Bet 365, whatever your bet is, it's never ordinary. Download the app, get in on the game, must be 19 or older game props, player props, totals, money line. There's layers to this. So, who's going to win? Let's get in on this thing.

You won last year's season long. That's what you're Trump. That's what you're sticking with? I definitely did. I won. No, you didn't. These two are far ahead. I thought we got to the end of the season.

then one of you just started picking all the games to try and get the math to work. Oh, that's right. Wasn't there one or two behind? He started making eight picks. Just Hail Mary's every week. I got nine games. That was a good. Yeah.

I don't know. Maybe I'm. That's just work ethic. Classic. We tie. We tie. It is. We'll call it a tie.

Sure. Everyone loves a tie. I don't know how I lost. You owe me pizzas. That's kind of what I was going with. That's true. We can get into it. picks here we'll keep uh we'll keep track over the year we got the jack oometer

that we'll have to rev up in time for next week getting rev we've got our week zero number submitted today and then we'll have the chart next week with week one's reaction they play the jets it's rogers against his old team who's doing the uh visuals and the a i work for them our best people quit well he didn't quit he quit he's quitter is it quitting we had a guy that did our our graphics and then he went to the graphics department and we we're told you're not going to get as many graphics now. It feels like the old place. Kind of does.

Yeah. Yeah, kind of does. So do you want to get in the picture? We want to talk Cowboys Eagles more. Are you hosting the show or is he? What at that? Wow. Do you have big thoughts on tonight's matchup?

Yeah, I do. We can do that later, though. That's fun. No, I don't know what else we do it. We're talking about football. So Cowboys share the best defensive player. We just watch Grood. Now we've got to listen to it.

No, no, real quick, real quick. Dak was gone for like nine weeks. I don't get to edit him down. That's trouble. 45 minutes. And everyone's like, boy, that's a lot of points. That's a lot of points. Remind me how Philly looked in their last game they played last year

against the much better team. Dominant, Ryan. They looked dominant. No, was that against a seven-win Cowboys team? No, it was not, Ryan. It was against the other really good team in the league. Super Bowl champs. And they did play Dallas twice.

So those must have been really close games since the- Tight. 34 to 6 and 41 7 hot defensive battles They opened They got the whoop ass Dack didn't play in either one I thought November 10 would have been soon off

No you're right it was week before that you got hurt Okay So that's the that's the hope I guess That's your insight is that you get DAC back And that's the difference Because it was not close last year at all At all Now to your picksteen

With Cooper Rush Well there we go So some good game analysis there Thank you very good into our picks. Unless anyone else has something that they want to share about we got a candle burning?

Yeah, I brought a candle. Someone die? What's happening? It was just in my bag and I was like, he dropped a rose. Why did you have a candle

candles around? I don't know. I had a bag full of stuff. He doesn't have ladies back to the studio and show off his workspace. Can I bring it back home? You don't like it? No,

it's fine. He was burning some sage the other day just trying to cleanse the studio. I don't you have a seat over here. Yeah. He's masking some. Gassers. Origin.

That's exactly what he's true. Okay, let's get to your peg. All right, Jack, walk us through it. Let's go. You want to go to me first? Whatever you, I'm, you drive a boss. I'll leave the way. See, you walk us through.

We don't have any visuals. No. Yeah, cool. We lost our graphics guy to the graphics department. Quitters. Yeah, you know a graphics guy. Boomer? You up first.

All right, let's take a look. Yeah. Tinder laid it out. Eagles at home. Doc is back, but so are the Eagles. I'll take the Eagles at home and give away the eight. Patriots at home against the Raiders, I think the Patriots might be sneaky okay this year.

I think they were sneaky okay last year. I like Drake May. I think Trayvion Henderson, based on all reports from the preseason, going to be a fine running back that could take over as the number one guy there. New coach, new coach, new attitude. dude i'll take uh i'll give away the two and a half by a field goal why not at all sure at home give it to me you're telling me neutral site raiders would be favorite come on get out of

and what a slobber knocker this one is going to sunday night i want you guys i said it last year i'm not sure i want you allowed to touch my bills what now if i take the ravens i don't want you to i just feel like to stay away altogether off i don't want you Brett i love the bills you should to pick them as your team. I love the bills. They're my team. They're at home against the Ravens. Josh Allen, he's married.

I don't think it matters. Although he does love that wife of his. This is the year, Dean. Is it? And you got to beat the best to be the best. Sure do. Plus one, bills.

They're playing the best at home against the Ravens. Those are my three picks. Ryan, yeah. All right, let's take a peek. There's some really, really bad football teams out there. I like Tennessee is going to be very high on that list. I think New Orleans is going to be very high on that list. And I think Dallas is the most overblown hype train of the last ever in the NFL.

You get Super Bowl champs. You got an OK Arizona team. And I think Denver's going to be sneaky really good. Bo Nix didn't do a lot in the first third of the year and still finished with a remarkable rookie quarterback season. They're a very good football team. And I think in the mix with the AFC West, which is up for grabs. if KC isn't perfect.

So I'm taking some big numbers. I may look like Joe Public here, and maybe I am. I'm going to eat a lot of numbers here, but I'm betting against bad teams. I don't like the Cowboys. The Saints will be brutal and the Titans will be bad. Yeah, I think that Broncos defense is going to cause some fits for Cam Ward. The second round running back.

Cam Ward. Cam Ward. Not the goalie. Oh. And the Saints are shit. Awful. Who's starting for them, Ratler? Spencer Rattler.

Goosh. It's a heavy goosh. No, it is in New Orleans, but still, like, come on now. Down under. Marvin Harrison, Jr. We're looking for a better sophomore year. New Orleans. Down under.

Rachel, let's go. I have the Houston, Texas quarterback and wide receiver, hence the Texans. And those, which are the, those are their names again? Stroud and, uh, Swave. Nico. All right. Nico Rico. What's his name?

Nico Collins. I agree with you guys. I've always valid you, your opinion. Yeah. In Denver, I agree. And I don't know anything about Seattle. And I don't know anything about San Francisco. San Fran had a miserable year last year.

You remember the McCaffrey thing? Oh, no, I don't. Yeah, you had them in fantasy. You remember. It was a disaster. And then they lost everyone else to injury, including Brandi and Iyuk, who's not going to be back till midseason.

Can you not talk about my thing? tick oh i just got one thing they got the cannot stop he can't help himself they have the easiest strings of schedule this year because i think we finished four who does sam fran but they have to play in seattle this weekend at seattle's jell could be good this year i'm not sure what seattle tell us more ryan seattle at home dean okay i'm so excited i'm sorry ryan tell me about ret's picks what do you think of my picks right well he spent a lot of time working on them so i'm sure they're very good i did have to work at him because i had to figure out how to get into the app again Yeah.

Password is not. Passwords and usernames. Good job. I mean, it's, we're before noon. There you go. Kickoff is hours away. You got in. So you want me to get in and spend hours like Gruden on every game?

Sorry, I can't do it. But those are some beautiful picks. Hey, Jack. Let's have Ryan talk about your picks. All right. Oh, yeah. Can I just interrupt you one to say? And Jack gave me shit for my first round of picks.

So I had, well, you picked four. We can't, we got to stick to. Oh. Are we all doing four? Now, why is that the case? I don't have four and you feel as strongly about all of them. Just because it's. I don't like these rules.

I don't like being boxed in. Fine. Whatever. Go ahead, Jack. It'd be different if we had a pizza or something on the line for. Oh, yeah, weird. Pizza's delicious. I'm on your bills.

I think they're the best team of the AFC this year. Wow. Did I have the bills in that? You didn't take the bills. No, you didn't take the bills. You were hammered. What's going on? Oh, no.

Seattle's out. I got confused because he's yelling at me about the four picks. He always does this. So you're on the bills now? Yes. I'm always on the bills. You know I'm on the bills. And you're dropping Seattle.

You know what? That's the stipulation. You finish your picks. This is the best. I'm going to have a stipulation. Okay. I'm also on the end of this. I'm also on the eagles.

And tell usration. I think the Cowboys players just stick it to Jerry. They get killed. opening night in Philadelphia. And then this isn't a homer pick boys. Oh. It's not a homer pick. Steelers minus two and a half.

Best defense in the NFL going against Justin Fields. They saw him all last year. He stinks. 123. Steelers win. They cover the two and a half spread. Is that a self-proclaimed? Are they a best?

12-3. 12-3. Called your shot, but it's not a homer pick. It's not a homer pick. That's okay, Jen. Okay. Well, and he's got Red support. I don't know if you notice.

but Rhett is actually, he's got a new second favorite team, and it's the Steelers. Is it? Yeah. Yeah. He's got, he's even putting it up in a set. It's nice.

Look. What's over your shoulder there, right? He showed that the other day. Oh, no, they got another thing. Just turn your head right towards the fridge a bit. Other way. I don't see anything. It's got a Steelers choo-choo train.

Yeah, it's been, it's like right behind your head. So not only can you not see it. No way. There it is. Look at that. Oh. Oh. Oh, they're going to.

the Steelers it was close jack he almost had the Steelers car he knew it was coming boy we're all on the Eagles right oh they just won the Super Bowl Dean back in February yeah so like I think the Dallas can be a moved ball really well can you show my first picks Jack that were very kind and thoughtful and nice Carmen and you guys you know it's seven picks by the way this is you made a mess of things so here's my stipulation okay almost forgot about it look at those oh boy big wage You know. Hey?

Ah. Uh, you, friendship pick. Send it love to all of you to start the season. Oh, wow. It ain't happening again, but today's bears. My chargers, jack stealers, and your bills. That's the Barnberger, uh, community parlay right there.

So here's the stipulation. Okay. You, it's a four, it's a four game. It's a four bed every weekend. but you have to have your team. Ooh. Says the guy who's a Bills fan. Okay.

You have to take your team. If you love your team, you should support your team. I agree. You cheer for your team. Or bet against your team if you're such a putts. No, it's not that at all. Bills minus 1,000. I'll take the Bills.

Bill, Super Bowl contender in favor? I think we should all have to pick our own team. Okay, sure. I mean, whatever. It's probably going to have an asterisk by it. We already have got seven asterises already. So now as we get into week one, I think it's clear by your non,

I mean, it's not a Homer pick or a favorite pick. But I'm curious, maybe I should just ask rather than lead the witness. What are your thoughts on the Steelers going into week one, Jack? Well, we haven't seen much. The offense, like Rogers didn't play in the preseason. D.K. didn't play in the preseason. So big question mark there.

I don't know what to expect. I know that they will, the first drive, they will go three and out and punt. Almost 100%. Every single year. I don't think so. I think Rogers is going right down the field. I think if you could find it on the bet 365, he's thrown for,

it's a first down the first. Yeah. Unless he gets hurt. They get one first. I think they, I think he throws a 15 yard out and the first down, first place. then they proceed to punt three plays later maybe okay anyways i'm not sure about the offense they added johnny smith they've got some young receivers who is yeah because you mentioned dk

dk roman wilson who was a draft pick last year was on michigan didn't play all last year and then kelvin austin yeah it's a bit of a gross wide receiver room we always need a wide receiver who are the bills wide receivers yeah they've got here coleman good tight end to with him probably that's not what i ask i'm just saying that you don't have and so if you have josh ellen in his prime that can work i think not aaron rogers when he's 41 hopped up on purgis never slowed down see a guy come back i think he's a hall of famer he probably is a hall of fame yeah guy knows how to win so is terry broad show is he playing this week no should be he's awesome but i'm very excited about their defense jaylon ramsie t j watt new deal cam hayward they got

Pro bowlers everywhere. It's good defense. Defense. It's the best. And chips. Steel curtain. Ooh, I did send Jack a little. So beautiful thing about bet three six five.

All kinds of options, many ranges of markets. You can bet on a win loss total for the. How's the team going to do this? Steelers. And they'll even give you a bunch of different lines you can pick from on that. So let's see where the completely unbiased and down the middle sports books have the Steelers season here. They got them pegged for about eight and a half wins.

So you can bet the overrunner on seven and a half, eight and a half or nine and a half. Jack's clearly going over, which is the left column on nine and a half. But I think, uh, which bet would you be most comfortable making? I will ask you all. Probably it'd be under the nine and a half. What? I just, I don't know. Hey, listen to the start of the season.

Okay. Jets week one and Seahawks week two. Talk about losing. This is the best because it's not a, It's not a work. He feels this way. You hear his voice. What?

But I hear this every year. They're going to finish with less than, isn't it nice? They always get the nine ones. So young and fresh. He's actually a fan. So naive. It's amazing.

It's like a puppy at the dog. Okay. Jet's Seahawks, Patriots. Win, win, win. Vikings. Right. It's 4 and 0. Yeah.

By week. Perfect. And a bye. Can they win in the bye week or just, okay. So four and all. Four and no. Then we got the Browns.

Third dog. Win? Win. Win. no bangles packers we'll take two losses colts win six and two charges win seven and two bangles win eight and two they split that bears nine and two bills we'll give reds bills the win nine and three we're gonna be there we'll be there good work guys ravens nine and four dolphins ten and four lines ten and five brown's eleven and five uh ravens they split so they go 12 and 5. 12 and 5. That's how delusional fans,

take the over on 9 and a half. This is beautiful. What is in that candle? Are you on lighten clothes of waiting something over? Get rid of this thing that you have up here. I just love, Minnesota's a 14 win team that was buying a year for their first round quarterback and Jack's like lots and obvious was like,

they were way better than the Steelers yesterday with Sam Darnold. Oh, it's a guarantee. What are we talking about here? That's an obvious. but it gets Minnesota. Jack, I just want this for the time caps. We can open up.

So 4 and 0 to the buy. Yep. And they get to 5. How do they get to 5 and 2? So they beat the Browns after the buy. To go 5 and 0. And then they drop a game in Cincinnati. 5.1.

And then the Packers. Off the buy? They're going to lose? No, they went off the buy. Oh, they win. Oh, sorry. And they drop two in a row. 5 and 2, 6 and 2, 7 and 8, 2, 9, 2.

You know what? That's a nice little win streak after that loss. Yeah, they lose. tune or a row and then they they bounce back they roll yeah they win seven straight casual seven game heath got it 12 and 5 that's what we're putting them down for 12 and 5 if you believe what jack believes there's some money to be made it's easy money i'm right i feel bad for bad for 365 sorry bet 365 if only i believe jack's giving away secret they better now with that all set because that's you know from a casual observer's perspective very very optimistic yeah

Where are we on the jackometer on a scale out of 10 jack? We are out of five. How can we be at a five when you have them paid for 12 wins? That's like an eight or nine. Yeah, I feel like you have. And you think they're winning week one. So you have to be better than 50. We can't tell them what to be, but it's just odd to us, Jack.

Can we just feel how you feel? You feel how you feel. No, we're right in the middle. That's fun. Just I'm going to say if you're in the middle, it's you feel as good as you do bad. We might, uh, 500-ish kind of on that. I think they'll be a good team. I think they'll have a winning record,

but I need to see the offense. You don't get to stipulate how he has to feel and what his number is. Only you get stipulations. Like if the Steelers go out and win week one, 12, 3, like I'm not higher than a five, but I think they'll win. He's older, more mature. He's not going to have those peaks.

Look at them. It's got candles for crisis. It's the jack on. I take it back. So we're out of five. Imagine if they have 13 wins. You might even be a six out of ten. what the hell are we doing here that's awesome i actually like that we should have to do that other

thing there's another stipulation we should do that thing for all of our teams they get to 10 and four what's it going to i mean he's going to be on the moon again like he was last year yeah weren't 10 and four last you went to the moon i was literally an astronaut in space he went so high in the jackal should we have to pick our super bowl champs look at this here you got some support there man deep yeah man deep he gets it back to the Stay out of the cooler in the back. Man, dude. You can drink too much origin, man.

You just settle down. Easy on the origin. I think they'll go 12 and 5, and I'm about a 5 of 10. Yeah, I, I'm not going to, uh, I love it. That's why we do it.

Yeah. I'm not going to go any further with it. That's fine. It's all good. Um, I mean, we can do super, I mean,

whatever you wish. How your bear is going to be a basket. Futures. The Caleb should be better, right? I mean, yeah. But, Bels.

You look at the, but they, new coach. That's going to help. He was a good coach in Detroit. Very good coordinator. He was a donkey. Yeah. Remember that game last year where the cornerback is like rooting to the fans and in Washington? Hey, suck my whatever.

That's the Hail Marylands. The Hail Marylands and they lose. That's very berries. So one more win at least. Yeah. So there's some wins to be had there. But there's also some ways to lose that they seem to find. Anyway.

Sorry. I'm going to put some money on bills here. Are you getting on few? futures. What are what is the super bowl odds there? Baltimore and Buffalo 450 550 what is it? 650 yeah okay co-favorits aFC rivals Eagles 700 get 365 on the blower because if they know what we know they're going to lose some serious cake they've got it just those stealer lines by about six wins nice got 365 get that app get it going

15 and 2. I got a lot of bets in here. This is Calamazoo. What sport is this? Let's, uh, you know what? We'll do, uh, we'll do a message here. And then we'll get into the, uh, we'll get into the old Pender report. We're not done their PIN report yet.

They're your dealership for life. I mean, look, they got Pinder as a, they take care of Pinder. They can handle me. They can handle you.

Going in there, I got rear-ended. I got two kids. I don't know anything about vehicles. What can this toe? I only have three tires? What? If they can help him, they can help you. And they are online at village honda.com.

Ryan Pinda. Ryan Pinda. Rhyndo. All right, boys, let's dive into some Flames conversation. This is a lovely little question thrown out on the Flames Nation socials in the last few days. And I'd like to ask each of you and maybe even Steelerhunk Jack, what he thinks. What are your expectations for Zane Perex? rookie season. It's interesting because he is

floored it in the OHL to the like, hey, last guy to do something like this. His name was Bobby Orr and it wasn't even the OHL. And then the other side is like, well, he is a rookie and rookie D. Men, there is a bit of, you know, adjustment period. Even Lane Hudson was heavily sheltered the first half of the year. What is a good rookie season? What do you expect? What are your fears and hopes, Dean? I mean, obviously it suggests that he's going to make the team and be here. And we've talked about that because of his contract and being what it is and his skill level and all that. It seems more.

He doesn't need to go back to that league. He put over 100 points up as a seven. Because he can't play for the Wranglers. Correct. So he's got to be here. Okay. Honestly, I don't, I haven't got that far yet to think about what expectations are. It's like, well, he's going to be here.

I would temper my expectations. What did he show you last year in camp? Not a lot. He had a bad count. That's fine. And it's not, it's not, I'm not taking shots at the kid. He's a young defenseman. Yeah.

Didn't have a great camp last year. So it's not. It didn't feel like he was knocking on the door, but take someone's job last year. And is he making them because the O HL's not good enough or because he's good enough, right? Yeah. Is there somewhere else for him to play that would be a better spot?

We don't know that. So I would just, how many kids did Hughes come out? Like, how many. I feel like, yeah, if the flames had their druthers, they'd love for him to have somewhere to play that isn't the OHL. The Wranglers would be the best spot for him unless he's undeniable at camp. And to Rett's point, he was nowhere near undeniable last year.

But let's take all the training camps up with the grain of salt. Sam Hansik was an unbelievable story of training camp last year. And he went on to have a very just okay HL season. He hit. Sure. And so I think there's a really nice, high offensive ceiling that can help the power play here. I wonder what it looks like.

like five on five in his own end and I wonder who you play him like that's exactly it right great jack has him down for 80 points well i'll tell you why because i showed jack this photo of zane perick and i mean if you can't feel good after this i don't know i look at that duster he's got a certain swagger about him he sure does now that is not a real mustache but if it was i'm putting him down for 80 points too much swagger i'm like is that trent culls Trent's the father? Jeez, how do they keep that under wraps? It's quite a look.

Yeah, I think this was at the NHL rookie showcase and they were having a little fun with some props. Zane, that's a vibe, man. You want to wear that at Stampede? How come he didn't go to the World Juniors? He did and then left, I believe. Are you mean last year? Yeah, what you're hell of you talk?

Well, I mean, there's a lot of very good players that didn't go to the World Juniors because I think the selections were horseshit, to be fair. There's got to be. Yeah, I'm not going to do. Are you sure? It feels like you kind of want to. You know what I'm afraid of the most on this show is that he looks a lot like Evan Bouchard,

who every time he's on the Outs, outscores the competition, even when he's with Dusters, but makes boneheaded mistakes in his own zone that people just say, I hate this, even though the net is so positive. I guess, but he's such a kid. He's going to make mistakes. Exactly. But if he shows you the other stuff, it's like, okay, well, this can probably come around. But if he's already got that kind of ability and flare,

Yeah. Well, we can like this. What is it? You'd rather rain in the stallion. Kick the meal. Who. Gitty up. He's a horse.

Yeah. Not that one. That sort of thing. That's a point I'm making. Oat bag. Would you playing with Uyghur? Move Uyger back to the left? You'll have to ask McKenzie what he wants.

Well, did he want to play with Miramanov and Hanley for the whole year? Because that's what he got last year. Can you be better than Miro or Hanley? I don't know that you can play. It's interesting. What are the expectations for the team? You can't play. Is he good enough to play that many minutes?

Mackenzie Weigar's going to play 25 minutes a night. No, and so you would obviously bump Hanley or someone else up every once in a while. But I think it's a great partner from to learn with. They will be very cautious, I think. They will have a plan, but have to be able to pivot in a moment's notice. For sure. And they have that ability with, you know, Jake Bean and Miramano is there seven and eight. He doesn't play it every night.

And you can send him to the world juniors to play this year. if it's looking like he's a little overwhelmed around Christmas or December 1. If he gets invited by those. They'll invite him this time, those idiots. Unless I want to lose the checks in the quarters again or whatever it was. Oh, you didn't put your best player on the top line until the third period. Cool. Elimination.

That was hurtful. That was hurtful. I got another. God, I think I'm funny. It's good. It's good callback. Keep going. Okay.

Let's move. Rookie games coming up with the flames. is sneaking up camp has not started but the prospects arrive early and they will be going to the booming metropolis the one and only city of Edmonton where everyone should resign forever because it's the greatest place ever

we like hockey team so you should want to play here that's their motto yeah the Oilers are selling these tickets today I know it'll be tough but they're a tough ticket to get Oilers Flames rookies Friday September 12th

at the Cates dome So that'll be our first taste of hockey with flames feel. There you go. After that, you'll see veterans start to trickle in, but not before. Good stuff. All right, Zane, go light it up against the two prospects we've heard of Evanston, another 20 guys. Yeah, ha, is right.

Let's move to the NFL. It is game day, as we noted. Let's take a quick look at the bet 365 odds for tonight. We told you the line was eight this morning. There is a lot of movement on game day. Make sure you keep an eye on it when you're heading into your app. The over under is set at 47 and a half. It's kind of implying a 28 to 20 win.

Okay. Last year, the two scores 34 to 6, 4, 1 to 7. You accurately pointed out, DAC was missing for both. Should be fun. 620 kickoff. We're back, baby. We are so back. Greg Keller, upon Tons.

He says we have to stop picking on his cowboys. We'll just tell them what a playoff game. We're not trying to pick on the Cowboys at all. There. Sorry, Greg. Dog shirt. I would be, I would have enough potato salad on hand tonight, Greg, if you're going to watch this game. And you're going to need something.

You're going to need dip. We'll be happy eat crow and potato salad if the Cowboys win when we come back in next to me. Sure. Yeah. If that's the case, yeah. Celebration potato salad if the Cowboys win. I'm okay. Not tomorrow.

We're not in tomorrow. No, next week. Uh, baseball's eating up. The AL East is a toyed one, the tightest division in the majors with three teams vying for the division title. They're the Yankees and Red Sox three and a half back of the blue chase? Put it to bed, damn it. 22 games above 500, and it has been a stressful month of August with their bullpen resembling, what, fire marshal Bill from in living color. It has not been pretty.

That said, they still have a three and a half game lead in arguably one of the toughest divisions in baseball. It is a huge set this weekend. Yankees and Jays in the Bronx. Jay's off date today. Yankees finish up a three game set with the Astros. Might be four games there. Set with the Astros. She heard one yesterday.

They sure did. Up for it too late. See ya. Gosman against Schlittler. Watch your mouth. On Friday, it'll be Scherzer against Luis Hill, I believe we say. Gill, oh, Gil. He's been quite good this year. And Bassett in the finale against Max Freed. No, halibut. Okay, got it. There's your odds for the number one seed in the American League. Detroit's, I believe, a game and a half back of the Jays for the best record in the American League. Yankees aren't out of it yet. Red Sox

just lost. What is it, Duran? They're great rookie who's been on fire last month. That's not good for them. Duran Duran. Hungry like the wolf. Were they lip-sinkers or is that to the other guys? I was the other guys. Depeche Mode? No. Re-Jat. Platinum brunette.

Local sports, Calgary Stampeters. They are a half game back of control of the CFL's West Division, a tidy eight and three. Take it easy. They are perfect against their divisional rivals. They will head up QE2, not unlike the flames prospects, to bask in the comfort that is Edmonton, Alberta. Five o'clock start.

Back to back weekends and Fridays in Edmonton. So awesome. Yeah, I can't make it for you. I can't do it this time. What? You love. Blue Bombers, Riders rematch is one to one. Watch for Stamps fans.

That's also on Saturday, part of that triple header. It goes Hamilton, Montreal. Then the Banjo Bowl, followed by Calgary in the cultural capital. I got a feeling they're going to be in first place. I understand. And I have to admit, I didn't dig all that deep. But it looked to me like there were some banged up bodies on that Edmonton, on the defensive side of the ball.

They lost some key pieces in the game. Yeah. Forgerto, for Shardo's life has not been easy. No, he was under duress the whole game. The highlight pack you made. Did you have a bad upbringing? No, I think that's been fine. What?

Yeah. No, I was taught just the, the highlights we showed last week. He was doing a lot of scrambling. I like the, I like the stampeters here. Go get it. Dave.

Go on, Davey. Fouts. VA. Let's go. Somebody was bragging about VA to me the other day. Really? Human. Like him a lot.

Was that the rink. Did you miss that old quarterback, guys? Because you always got mad of me when I beat up for him being no good. It was just too. You miss them? Cheap shots. It's more just the cheap shot nature. That's what I said.

Probably a nice guy. He's just a bad quarterback. I said that. I think he's harsher. Anyway, he's backing up another team. Hey, B. Calvary FC's on the road this weekend.

They'll take on York. Where's York, red? It's in the Ontario region. It is in Greater Toronto, indeed. Not the Royal York. That's a lovely hotel, though. You stayed there. I stayed at the Royal York.

Do you stay there when he plays a leaf sever? Guests of definitions. stay at the Royal York. And I went there and I, uh, to, uh, get interviewed for the Florida Panthers when I got drafted. Oh, I don't know. How about that? This is that York Lions Stadium.

Who was the host? You still had to do the quick flip on the, uh, movie channel there. Before the interview, get off the old 24 hours special. The old 2999. Hey, look at this. Allie. Congratulations. Player of the month in the CPL, how about three goals and two helpers?

That'll do it. They've been great. Pretty. Hoham July and just on fire. Hammered Forge last week, 4 to 1. Cab's looking good coming down the home stretch. Love to see that. I want to give a shout out to Felix OJale,

you've seen the Canadian tennis players into the semis at the U.S. Open. There's your final four. Those are the four best men in tennis at Flushing Meadows, Queens, New York. If you give a shout out, like is it what? Oh, he's a big fan of the show, so I know. Okay, that's what I thought.

There must be some sort of... There are people in Canada that like tennis. None as much as my wife does. but there are a tennis. I don't think your wife works either. She just watches tennis. I just watch her walk up and down the street. I don't know what she's up to, D.

She's like one of those construction foremen. I was going to say, they just tore the sidewalk out again. So maybe she's, that might be her helping with that. Yeah, we'll see. Tored out again. I told you. I was told that somebody screwed up the design and that the emergency vehicles can't go down the street.

It's beautiful. So they have to. Great work, everyone. I hope they win that lawsuit. so badly yeah and if you saw a huge underdog 16 to 1 just to beat well world number one Chris world number one

Dean is I'm not Yanix Center very good finally a little throwback to an old friend of all the coaches in Calgary no one buttered up the media more and was a bigger asshole in the locker room here's Shane O'Brien on live from Moose Jaw with more

Who would you rather punch in the face? Elaine Vigno or Bob Hartley? Wow. Easy answer. Bob Hartley, if he walked in a moose jar right now, we'd have to stop the interview because I'd probably go out there and grab them. Wow. I respect Elaine Vino.

We had some differences at times, you know, with some of the stuff that was going on, you know, with my off-ice stuff. But, you know, like I always said to him, you know, I told him the first time I came in and played you boys with Anaheim, you know, we basically came in here and did whatever we wanted, You know, now teams come in here, not just me, BXA, Rick Rip and God rest his soul, Tanner Glass, but we have a tough team. I'm like, you know, so you may have to put up with, you know, some of the stuff that goes on with me, you know, enjoying myself. And he kind of understood it, but he, I always respect Avi. Bob Hartley was just a bad guy.

Yeah. Right? Like a bad guy. And, um, I always joke like when I was in Calgary, I was dating a girl at the time and I wasn't going out and I wasn't even, I'm like, this guy didn't like me then. And if you would have known the old school Shane O'Brien, I would have been cut at camp. But, you know, NHL coaches Lindy, they have the right to not play me and whatever you want. But when you start going after, you know, a person's character and as a person and,

and stuff like that, that's what I had a problem with Bob Hartley. And I'll never forget. I got called back up in Florida and we were playing in Calgary and we beat him and I was walking over the salad moment. He was coming this way. And I was like, oh, here's my chance. I can't wait.

And the fucking gutless, he just jumped. He just went, as soon as he saw me, he ducked in the room that way or whatever, or I guess that way. I was like, what a pussy. Hey, O'Brien. Telling it like it is. I keep waiting for those stories about Bob,

where everyone says, I really like playing for him. I haven't heard one yet. Yeah, you hear it's, I like torts. You guys that were hard-ass coaches. Not a lot of, not a lot of love out there for old Bob.

You reward them. Positive reinforcement. Praise them and coddle them. Ryan hasn't been an idiot with the Pinda Report yet this year.

So that we should say, good on you. Good on you. Bob Hartley wasn't too harsh. Not at all. See a snake climbing a tree. We've been working on it. That's good. We had that whole McDavid segment planned out for the Pinda report.

Yeah, we kind of stepped on it. It's good. It's good. It's good. Good. So good for you. Thanks, dads. I mean, guys. Yeah, it's not gone unnoticed.

I would like to lull you into a sense of comfort and really hit you over the head. So we'll have nine vomiting videos by November. And while we're talking about vomiting, back to vomiting. Do you guys ever get sick to your stomach and then vomit? Well, take a look at this guys. Hey, Rhett, you like to vomit. Nadine, you're a big fan of head cheese. You're a big vomit guy.

You love to vomit. Something like that. A message for the Alberta Teachers Association. Alberta school boards have the least to spend per student on public education in Canada. This chronic underfunding has left schools in crisis. Classrooms are overcrowded, student needs unmet and supports at an all-time low. Record number of teachers are leaving due to worsening conditions. As proud Albertans, we can't stand by while government policies continue to neglect education.

Our schools urgently need your help. We must demand increased funding and resources to support students and educators. Want to make a difference for Albertans everywhere. Demand answers from your MLA. Our kids deserve better. It's time to stop the excuses. And for more information, visit stoptheexcuses.com. So as we wrap this up, I should make my shopping list for this.

Dips, dip night. Dip night. I dip you, dip, we dip. That's right. Dippity-do. remember that hair gel oh yeah dip-d-do do you don't that extra firm hold i didn't want to move in at all my second helmet it's like a lot of concussions i got to protect protect the yes super computer in there how many dips is too many sure question yeah no

buffalo chick dip dill dill dip and that was basically pizza pizza dip um Now, the dill dip was just basically cream cheese, it's diced up pickles and pickle juice from the jar. Okay. I think too cold, too hot. Walk me through the pizza. What's our base? What are we doing here?

Cream cheese. Pepperoni, thinly sliced, those little, I suppose you could cube it. I like the, I like the, you know what, the presentation's better when they're on top. And if you really want to take it to the next level, you fry that. s up yeah like they do it be low then it's a pizza and salsa combination for on so you get the little round roaster dish yeah and melt the cream cheese enough that you can spread it spread the cream cheese on the bottom then you put a pizza sauce salsa combo really okay on there and then you put the pepperoni slices and then a mozzarella another cheese

God, that's genius. Real good, Dee. It's a good start. It's three dips. For the buffalo, we're going to need more cream cheese. Oh, there's never too much cream cheese. Can I offer if you don't want to do the cream cheese? Here's a real simple.

Kids love it. Dice up your chicken. Fry that up. It's just cheddar cheese, salsa, and corn. If you like olives, olives as well. Make sure that corn. So just like a layer dip type deal. It's not even a layer.

I just put it in a bowl and I scoop. I need the scoops. You don't layer it. You don't, it's just a. Okay. And it's easier. And then if you got too much of the cheese,

because you don't want to get bunged up. There is a potential of bunging here. Yeah. Although I don't get bunged up many times these days. But I'm just saying that's a simple, very easy, achievable in no time. How do you feel about spinach dips? like they take the pumper nickel bread and hollow it out and put some like the bread spinach dip in there i don't like that the bread is

i feel like i like i like crisps when i'm dipping i want crisp i want the serving vessel to be crispy what i will do sometimes is you take the a baguetta yeah and you slice it up because it's got some real firmness to it so you can get the egg get right in there i like spinach dip but i like it more when i'm starving yeah it's my list of dips for sure. If there's five dips on the table, it's probably a fifth overall pick. Like I might just do like ripple chips and some

it's like the onion soup powder mix with the sour cream. Shut the front door. Easy, simple, and effective. Chips and dip. I like the seven layer dip more than the spinach dip too. That sounds like a lot of work. Seven layers, it's a lot. I don't make the seven layer. It is too labor intensive. Plus, you're not going to make it that much better than the

That's fair. So what are you skipping out on? Because if, so like at the bottom you're doing it? What about just guac? You like fresh quack? Love quack, yeah. Feels like that's a healthy thing to add to the list.

My wife would even allow that. You could ask, you could have five dips. How many people in your house? There's no, uh, the girlfriend will be there for sure. Or did they break up?

Well, those, no, they're together. There's two of them, but they're not in, but the other girlfriend is in. Two girlfriends now? This duster has a girlfriend and no license?

Figure it out, son. She says. one, two, three. So there's four. Four for sure. Five dips is not too many dips. Okay. When it comes to dips, guys,

there's no rules. It's like when people make chili. Well, geez, I don't know if you put that in chili. I'm not sure if I should. There's no rule book when it comes to the kitchen. If you like it, put it in there. Try it. We're making Chile.

And then it's like, oh, I'm not sure. You know, I'm not sure. Maybe I like it better without. Then at least you know. Then you know. You just got chili on my menu tonight. Is that right? Just by saying it.

Thank you, Dean. You're welcome. Garlic bread? No. Yeah. Garlic bread. Oh, I like that. I feel for Pinder because he never gets to eat any of this stuff.

I'll be fine. I'm pretending to be a baseball practice. What's on your game menu tonight, Ryan? Whatever that pub special is by the ball, diamond fish and chips too yeah hopefully the eagles win by about a million jack what's uh

I don't know he said wings now like you keeping your options open we said wings it is like it's tough with wings because you can order them in but you're going to be disappointed don't order it you got to either make them or have them at the place where they make they don't travel they don't travel well I'm going to take you guys when we go to Nashville oh yeah I'm going to take you to a barbecue place that swings oh man just I was just thinking about food okay it's a dry oh dry rub a dry rub and they've got these pork and beans. That sounds like a bad combo.

So we're going to go get all pissed up in Nashville, go crush some pork and hop on a flight. And it's way, way more affordable than it should be. It's just one of those things. Like, okay, so this is a little bit off Broadway. You go there. Oh, Jesus.

God, this is going to be good. No Harris differs this trip, please. Red, I did have a buddy ask, what is the price to room with you? Oh, dear. You said you had a price yesterday the other day. There's a price. Well, I kind of alluded to there being a price. You didn't necessarily say that.

That one's got a price. But I feel like. It's a decent proposal. A million bucks. Red will let you sleep in his room. Let's go. There'll be an interview process ahead of time. One million we can spoon.

Okay. Big or little? It doesn't know. Okay. Get you. Dealer's choice. Yeah. Hold the hole.

I saw photos. It's somewhere between like the drunk tank where everyone's compressed in a small space and like a petting zoo or some sort of circus backstage.

It is wild. Do you guys have like ankle bracelets like you can't go out or some home arrest? I don't know. The boys just prefer to be in tight spot. I'm always. pushing to go for the bar, but some guys haven't slept yet. Some guys are spinning wheels. They have their own little backroom gamble.

It's wild. It's good stuff. Kids. Kids today. Love it. We appreciate you. Tomorrow on the program, something or other. Germain Franklin.
