Another day of super chats, raising some money for the U.S. Centers of Calgary as you're watching live if you're in YouTube and you put a comment in with some money. We don't donate the money and put your comment on the show. I saw this one. This is a free one. This is a free one. Freebie on a friend.

From E-Rock. You guys should start a Patreon on and put the pre-show behind a paywall. Yeah, we should. I'm all for revenue streams, but I'm not sure. Here's the thing. It would make us money, but it would also get us cancel. We would have to make a lot in a short amount of time to overcome the canceling of our lives. So here's a sign NDAs. No, no, the Patreon's a million bucks.

Subscribe, we'll do it. Then when the show gets canceled, we're going to. Yeah, we're kind of covered. Yeah, I won't. It won't. Can they cancel? I think so. But what's canceling kicked off YouTube? Yeah, I don't.

We got to talk to McLeodlaw about this. I see a lot of stuff. I see a lot of stuff on YouTube that's far more tame than anything. We're far more tame than a lot of things that I've seen on the. Well, and I think if you class, this is a comedy show. We're a, yeah. We're actors. Yeah, we're just putting.

It's a skit. We're playing characters on the YouTube's. Yeah. Jack, look into that. Yeah. Tell us about your character, Dean. I don't think it's about me today. I think it's about the guy in the hard hat at the end of the table.

It's actually a batting helmet, John Olerud. I love John Olerud. Here on the McLeod Law, LLP Studios, McLeod Law. Hey, that's why we'll never get canceled. You got good people with us. On our side. The best of the best, they're good people. Just down the street from you.

Beautiful little offices, but they're there to take care of you. personal business, whatever degree of legal assistance you need, they're there for you. So do you think I should pre get in there? Get a retainer on what? Before I, like, because you know it's coming. Like one day I'm going to just absolutely off the rails. Yeah, but which, which field? Is it going to be like slander libel?

Is it family laws? Oh, it's going to be all kind of, you know, well, you were, your idiot friend last night when we talked lasers and stuff and he wouldn't keep up with the brilliance. but there's going to be some political side of things, and then there's going to be some tinfoil hat sort of things. Yeah. Then there's going to be some direct hits to the sporting culture on Calgary. Like there's going to be,

it's going to bring out the big guns, you don't want to, I'm not a sniper, it's not a sniper fire. A wide swap. Yeah. Shuck and spray. A lot of people are going to take shot. Yeah.

Yeah. I don't. So do I go to them first in preparation or? Here's what I'm thinking. Do they have a conspiracy? Law Department. Then I can't say I just I wonder if they don't try and talk you out of it first.

That would be some legal advice they would give you. You know this is happening. Don't be stupid. Work on with this. And then all of a sudden you start putting it on them. And they're like, okay, well, we're at. Let's lay the groundwork here for. They know who we are and they care for us for some reason.

So much so that I've heard just four people that are going to be on premises for the drinking. excited for that. Which is probably the right amount. That's a lawyer per idiot here. That's like one to one. That's the right quota for us with the amount of shit that goes on that day. That's the kind of, uh, yeah, that's the kind of treatment we. That's right. Need and deserve. I, you know what? I, I, I miss this all together until I just kind of saw it. Uh, Hard hat three. Friday is Hawaiian shirt day. So, you know, if you want to go ahead and, uh, wear a Hawaiian shirt and jeans. So Ryan, I want to put in a drink for the, uh, for the

Good. We have one open slot. We have a wild car. I want coconut, tequila, and pineapple juice. Oh. Sure. Yeah, I'm in. I said, who was I talking to yesterday? You said there wasn't enough whiskey in there. Well, no, I said to somebody, I feel bad because Pinder does,

put the thing together. And then I do a very Pinder thing, which is once you've done the effort, I come in and start to critique and pick away at it. You start scrolling. What's a holiday drink? And you get like 40 things puked out of it. of AI. But you had, and you may still have, I was just curious about the thought of having two Clamato drinks. No. So here's the thing. I think if you're going to go with a, you have to have a Caesar. I'm sorry. Like it's, it's invented in Calgary. It's a day drink and drink. A Caesar's a

staple of ways to get alcohol in your system before it gets dark and it's socially acceptable. It has to be on the list. Okay. And so if we were going to have a beer after that, you could add clam to the beer or just have the beer. But we don't have to have beer. We've had it every year. A beer. I think there's so many. It's the Christmas spirits, whereas beer is not really a spirit. Correct. But it's so many liquor, you know, so many drinks. Can I run you through the preliminary? Or is it too soon? I don't think it's too soon at all. I'm very excited. It's coming up quickly. It is. Two weeks away. I just mean, you know, we can unveil a drink a day or whatever. We could just lay out the list right now. Those who don't know what we're talking about one day before, what our shows before Christmas, kind of the last show that we do before we take a little.

break for the Christmas. We do some acting. Method acting. Yeah, the thought is, oh, we got drags. He'll appreciate this. He will like this. What we do is we do this show and then we stop this show and then we start another one with no sponsorship tags whatsoever.

And then we proceed to. At least the optics are that we have a bunch of drinks. How many would you say? It's in the neighborhood of 10 to 15, 10, 12 somewhere. I've never stopped at 10. Yeah. And we just kind of roll through the show. Some guests come in.

Are we doing 12 hours? We have a bartender and a whole bar set up. Not a Yelves, yeah. Yeah, we kind of put together the list of drinks. Let's bring Draggs in. He might have one for us. He might have an idea for us for sure. Yeah.

It's on the, you know, Crystal Waters won't mind. Crystal Waters Insider Hotline presents our hockey insider today. As always. And of course, Crystal Waters, they're here for you. If you're a barn bird or customer, maybe you've got a little, little discount, a little nudge. because the boys at Crystal Waters are the very best. Home builder looking for a high volume professional mechanical subcontractors,

then these are your guys. Or if you just, if you haven't had anyone look at your furnace or your hot water heater or any of that for a long time, I can tell you it is time. They came through my place a couple weeks ago. And I mean, I've not tried the air conditioner, to be fair. Yeah, I don't think that's, yeah.

But everything else in the house is working remarkably better. And I didn't think that there was anything necessarily wrong. But they came in and said, well, yeah, this is probably how this should be running. It's not running that way. Much improved. So thanks to Crystal Waters, as we can welcome, Drags, to the program. Also, one of those things that usually joins us on a Friday. I can if he gets that Friday off or how it works, but it's up to him.

We're on. It is. Yeah. We're on. We're pacing towards having our fourth Christmas spirits, drinky show. and Ryan's going to give us the kind of the list of cocktails. Interesting. Yeah.

Now, do you guys have a beverage sponsor? I should know this, but. We have many beverage. Do you? We've got a non-alcoholic beer that we'll be needing later that night. Yeah. That's all that. We'll be mixing it at some point.

Temples will be had in the evening for sure. Yeah. So if you're going to start drinking in the day, dregs, you need to hide it in your coffee first. That's always a great move. Professional alcoholics. Interesting. for ever. We're going to go with a peanut butter whiskey in the coffee. We had this at Rett's House on American Thanksgiving, the screwball and coffee. Jack, how good was it? Scale of 1 to 10. 10.

10 out of 10. Amazing. It's peanut butter, breakfast, coffee, booze. We all win. Yeah. Let's make 2 is the mimosa, another staple of day drinking. Have to do the mamosa early. Oh, come on. Orange juice. It's a morning drink. It's a morning drink. I'm with drags there. I'll drink it. I don't love it. If you want a manmosa, make it with beer instead of champagne. That's fine. Manmosa, mimosa. It's just, it's a morning. It's just, it's a morning. It's Yeah. Okay. Then we go to the Caesar, another staple of day drinking. And then we get into all kinds of delicious festive boozes like bumboo and the eggnog we're going to do.

It's a rum. Dark and stormy while we're on the rum train. Stay there. We've got a mistletoe margarita. We've got a summary beverage. We're calling the all-inclusive and escape from the winter day. That's a ginger. What's the liquor in that?

I believe tequila, but I will have to double check. and there's some bitters in there as well. It's more of an elaborate one or bartender. Is there some shots involved in this as well? We have a shaft later, which was also invented in Calgary. The shaft is a coffee-based, fire it back vodka, a little bit of cream. We could put a noggin there. Lots of espresso.

I was just simply thinking the prairie fire. Oh, Jesus Christ. What did we do wrong? We're not at Houston. We're not at the Palomino. We're not 18. We didn't lose a bet, dregs. We're doing prairie fires.

Wow. I mean, all you need for that collection of booze you've just unveiled is a big box of umbrellas to put on top. The purrifier is bad when you drink it. It's worse when it comes back out of your nose. And it was it's hot. Or other places, yeah. It's going to come out somewhere, some way. I say, yeah.

Oh, it's a basco and whiskey. Perfect. So if you want in on it, we'd love to have you, but we'll send you to this. We might, you know what, even you could come on and just say hi. We could get you on the stream. Yeah. Because nothing, people, I know, I know for me, there's nothing I enjoy more than being sober talking to drunk. Yeah.

That's really awesome. Yeah. That doesn't sound like it's going to get me in trouble at all. No. No, no. We have lawyers. Cloud loss. Yeah.

All of them. It's all good. So that's over, that's on the 19th. Two weeks, strike. On ahead. Yeah. I'll be out that way. Not quite in Alberta, but I'll be out that way.

All right. I'll be in Churchbridge, Saskatchewan. And actually, Church Bridge. Yeah. Say hi to my Uncle Dennis. Oh, Uncle Dennis.

He's good. Is he? Really? Because you bitch and moan about most of your family. That's the first time of herd-old-a-positive. Okay. He's never heard of you've mentioned this man before. Seriously.

I'm going to a long time. It's Uncle Dennis and Auntie Lil, Elton Church Bridge. Oh, Dennis and Lil, I know them. Honest the God, Darren. Come on. What, Sid, I. What, uh, honest the gun?

Don't feed you. What kind of, you want with that whiskey. Sal, what kind? Do you want orange or grape Coke? Here we go.

This is why I'm not going to join you on the 90th. So we'll see you the Thursday the 18th. Sounds great. All right. So I don't even know what we're going to talk to you about today. It's tough to be. What do we want to do today? Well,

clarify something right off the top. Let's do it off the top. It's past my desk in the last. hour or so, but there's some social media reporting speculating that the LA Kings are in advanced discussions with Peter DeBoer. The presumption would be, of course, that they're in discussions to hire him as head coach, unfounded, untrue. And that's coming from one of the principal parties involved. And look, a lot of stuff has said and reported on and speculated on that maybe potentially one day comes true.

But this is where it gets greasy in this business, because whether you're a player who has no idea what's going on on a trade front, you just know that you've got trade protection and, you know, you've got a family and this stuff turns your life upside down, especially when it's not true. Same applies to the coaches. And when you think about the L.A. Kings and, you know, Kenny Holland as general manager, Luke Robatai's president, et cetera.

There's zero chance they're doing that to Jim Hiller, right? If they've got an issue with Jim Hiller's head coach of the LA Kings, they'll gas them. They'll move a different direction. If that's Pete DeBoer, so be it. But anyway, just set the record clear because as we're having this live conversation, it's deemed to be both ridiculous and untrue. He's kind of one of those, it's almost like there is a shark in the water. If you're one of those coaches where your team is maybe underperforming or,

I don't think it's Montgomery and St. Louis because he was recently hired, but a team that maybe had some expectations, I don't know that I saw necessarily L.A. being there. They're fine. But De Boer is, he's one of those guys. It's odd. He's out of work as well from time to time. Not for long usually.

No. He does, yeah, he does bring success. Obviously, he'd rather be coaching. I mean, he's getting paid to not coach by the Dallas Stars. but he's also very busy. He's a key element to the hierarchy of Team Canada in preparation for the Olympics. So he's got a lot on his play. He doesn't need any more work in the moment.

But look, I mean, he's going to coach again. He's never not been a head coach. I mean, go back, what, 30 plus years? I mean, honestly. Yeah, and he's got a track record for success. Unfortunately, whatever reasons behind it, his teams haven't won Stanley Cup. but that doesn't mean that it isn't highly regarded, highly respected. And as we've seen year after year, certainly recent years, man,

that coaching carousel turns at a clip when things get going. Like it's not unusual to have six, seven, eight coaching changes in the offseason. So where are the pressure points right now? We're past the one third mark for most teams in the league. It's really, really condensed. The middle of the league, it's like 10 points separate 90% of the league, it feels like. So where are those pressure points on? GMs and their coaches.

Yeah, it's hard to identify. I mean, Nashville seems obvious, but it also feels like if Barry Trots, his general manager was going to do that, he would have done it by now. And there's always that undercurrent of people who think, well, Barry fires Andrew Burnett. He's going to go back on the bench. Barry Trots doesn't want to go back on the bench. He doesn't. And, you know, again, being a coach, a highly successful one for many, many, many years.

I think gives a high level of appreciation for the up and flow of being an NHL head coach. And, you know, sometimes you've got to put more mirrors in the dressing room and, you know, pin it on the players. Not always, but it's easy to dispatch the coach. And it's easier when you've got a candidate like Pete DeBore that's out there and potentially available. I mean, God, you know, look at what happened in Vegas when they high. hired Peter DeBoer. I mean, they hired Peter DeBoer in the minute because they felt like, okay, this is a serious coaching upgrade.

We're going to take advantage of it before somebody else does. But honestly, beyond that, I think the league is so tight right now. You know, so many teams that still are mathematically and every other thing involved in a playoff chase here that there's no obvious hotspot beyond Nashville for me. And Toronto's won three in a row. Are you seeing signs of a team that's playoff caliber now, or is it too soon to project that?

Like, they've been missing a lot of bodies and haven't played. Trouble last night. It is a bit soon. But this is what I don't understand. And Rhett, maybe you can bring this, you know, behind the curtain on this. So Toronto was defensively porous for much of this regular season. They really were. And that put it added stress on the goaltenders.

Now granted, you know, before Joe Wohl came back into the mix, the goal tending was sketchy. I think that's fair. But it's almost like, you know, a switch flipped. And part of that is off the back of Joseph Wohl because his goaltending up until last night when he injured himself has been, I would say arguably stellar. How do they flip a switch?

I mean, they look lost essentially up until Saturday when they, you know, just absolutely throttled Sidney Crosby and the Penguins in Pittsburgh, followed that up and beat a really depleted lineup in Florida and then followed it up with arguably their best game of the year against Carolina Hurricanes last night. I just, that's, you know, when Brad Trullabing talked about a disconnect at the quarter mark 10 days ago, whenever that was,

you know, he took a lot of heat for that comment because it was misunderstood. But I think now we're seeing at least some level of evidence that there was a disconnect. But how can you flip the switch that quickly and have guys who are sitting in a press box now delivering, as a third line in Toronto was delivering with Wa, Dakota Joshua, and Bobby McMahon,

and the other pieces and the defensive structure all fall into the line. How does that happen? Well, I don't know exactly how to say how it happens, but it does happen. Sometimes you go on, there's teams, they get on a run, they're going into the playoffs, and you just find, oh, that's working, do that again. And I remember runs in Buffalo where you're on the bench and you're going through playoff series. And you know exactly what the guy before he's going to do and behind you as far as going on the ice next. You know exactly the role he's going to.

You know exactly. And so a lot of it goes back to is the goal he going to make the save? Because if he's good, if I can give up the standard shot and I know that my goalie is going to make the save. Now I'm not overreacting to that shot. If you're not convinced your goal is going to make the save, do I have to do something extra here to influence this play or not? So a lot of it starts right then and there. And then if the goal is going to make the right save,

well, I don't have to overreact. So now I'm not out of position. So now when the rebound comes, I'm making an outlet pass. So it's simplifying it, but it does start with goal tending, knowing he's going to make the save, and some guy, goaltenders are different.

Hachick and Kipper were more acrobatic saves than when I played in Florida with Vans Beesbrook. He was making the standard and you knew, okay, he's going to make this save. That rebound's going to sit here. We're going to play off of it that way. Whereas with Hachick and Kipper, you're like, okay, I can take a little more chance here. Right. He's probably going to make this save.

And the goalies feel the same way about the defense and the players. I would say it's a little short-lived for the, for the Leafs so far. Agreed. Yeah. It's free games. That's, that's not a season.

If they're smart, they build off of it. Right. You don't give that up. You don't start going, oh, shit, this is okay. Yeah.

Take some chances. You have to recognize, no, no, no, no, no. The success is coming from goaltenders making the saves. You guys are playing simple. Our skill and ability moving up

into the offensive zone can take over and make plays. that instead of scrambling in your own end for 30 seconds. Yeah. Well, now they face another hurdle, Joseph Wohl, as I mentioned, you know, got injured at some point in that second period, it's believed. And it looked like a hip, some sort of left leg thing. He was trying to stretch it out and didn't return for the third period. And I don't know what it is about that tan of Anthony Stolars and Joe Wohl,

but they cannot stay healthy for an extended period of time. And, you know, hopefully from Toronto standpoint, a wall isn't out long term, but they have no idea. Zero idea when Anthony Stolars is coming back. You know, they say there's been some progress and whatever he's dealing with, but he hasn't been on the ice yet since getting hurt weeks ago in Boston. So another test tomorrow night against the Montreal Canadians. And there's been some real foggy and not clear timelines on more than just Stolars.

Like it's TANF too. Like there's a bunch of guys that there just isn't real clarity. Is that something that is on purpose by the Leafs, or is that just the nature of whatever issues that players are dealing with? I think a little of both because, you know, again, if we used Stolar's as the example, you know, when he went down in that game in Boston,

you know, Craig Barube, basically immediately after the game said, we don't think that he's going to be out that long. And then I believe the next year day after he doubled down and said, nah, he might miss a game or two, but it's nothing serious. And he hasn't been on the ice since. You know, Chris Tanoff is a huge loss to Toronto. Brandon Carlo hasn't played great this year.

But again, you know, he's normally a dependable defenseman and experienced defensemen. So having both those guys out, he's challenging. Carlo had a serious setback, and he's week to week. I don't know if he's had surgery yet, lower body issue. But as of Tuesday, he hadn't, but it was expected that he would have surgery. So that'll take him out longer. and in Chris Tanna, if he was needing of more testing this week. So what that tells me is if they're testing, whatever his issue is,

and something is it necrelated just, again, by virtue of the incidents that led to him being out longer term. You know, is the testing to see if he can come back? Or is it, yeah, you can come back. But eventually at some point, we're going to have to do something to remedy the situation more longer term. And until they get the results of that testing, I guess TANF is going to be sidelined as well. I can go any number.

I got a flame, we can touch it later. So go ahead. That's fine. So Michael Matheson reups in Montreal, and that's another name off the board of a potential defenseman rental. John Carlson's out there. He's longer than the tooth.

He's a career capital. I don't know how real that is. I'm starting to try to... Very year, though, man. Yeah, well, and Carlson. They love him and he's a career cap. I don't know that happens. I guess what I'm trying to get to is where does this leave Rasmus and the market for defensemen this year?

Because he's really good of late. He made another great play last night on the first goal for the flames and is on a really good heater after a tough October. Well, and look, this is interesting to me. And it's probably a poker game. But neither side wants to officially say that, all right, the ship has sailed here in Calgary. There is zero chance of an extension. We're just waiting out for the best opportunity to move. a valued asset across the league in Rasmus Anderson.

The other side is, I mean, why would you show your hand? I get that. I've been around a long, long time. But does that mean that the door has officially closed on that possibility of extending Anderson? It does to me, but nobody that matters has said that with any sort of official context. So, you know, I think if you're Craig Conroy, you're happy that these guys are signing. You know, Ryan McDonough gets the extension. You know, where I can't imagine John Carlson plays.

anywhere else but Washington. Mike Matheson, yeah, re-ups. He's an important piece of the Montreal Canadians and what they're building there. So that just shrinks the pool for Asmus Anderson in a big, big way. So, you know, the game of poker

as far as Conroy's concerned will continue to get played until he kind of says, all right, we're not entirely sure when we're going to move him. We know the jury deadline is March 6th. We know that there's a trade freeze during the Olympics, February 4th to 22nd.

We don't, there's a holiday roster freeze, which kicks in December 19th. So those are the parameters that we're working with. But I don't believe that that messaging is out there in the sense of, okay, send us the best offer you have. Sure, there's been lots of tire kicking and managers consistently in Conroy's ear. I'm sure there have been parameters of deals that have been offered and all of that. but I don't believe based on the guys that I'm talking to that Craig Conroy has established, okay, here's exactly what I need, and here's the timeline that I'm working on to get it done.

It's got to be in the driver's seat to a certain extent. He has to know what Anderson wants, doesn't he? Yeah. And at the end of the day, you can, if I'm playing make-believe in my own brain where I'm like, okay, if I know Anderson wants, 10 million a year for seven, okay, well, that's, I know that, just making it up. And then I can look at, okay, here's the return. What's better?

Yeah, and what you allude to is dealing him with an extension, either agreed to or set to be in place versus just a rental, because those are two different deals. No, no, I'm saying keeping them. I think the flames are still in the business of kick of tires on keeping Rasmus Adams. Yeah. Then I would agree with that. I don't think that that, I don't think they're going to go.

I think they're going to say, okay, I can either play Rasmus 10. And again, I'm just making up a BS number. I'm going to pay him 10 and keep them. and we've got our defenseman, or I'm getting a first and a prospect. I think that's the man. I don't think, I mean, the extension and trade, whatever, but I think it's more, do I want to keep him?

Yeah. Or do I want the return? And to some degree, maybe it's out of your hands too, right? I mean, obviously Rasmus Anderson is final say. But, you know, things don't improve. And we've talked about this before. I'm a broken record on this. I mean, Nazim Qadri likes Calgary.

His family likes Calgary. You know, he wants to continue. He's got a contract to play in Calgary. But he also wants to win a Stanley Cup. And, you know, so even though, again, I've talked about this, Edwards does not want to trade Nazim Qadre or, you know, that leadership group. You know, all of a sudden you get into the early 2026 and things aren't looking great. And you know you're a non-playoff contender.

which could be the case, right? Like, you know, maybe NAS comes out and says, hey, you know what, if it's going to improve your team moving forward, here's where I'd like to go. Here's a couple of these. And if that were to happen, all right, well, now the picture gets a little bit more cloudy

with Rasmus Anderson. Okay, well, if we're willing to trade NAS, then obviously it's in our best interest to renovate and trade Anderson and get this collection of younger people. pieces back. I don't think they want to trade. I don't, yeah, I'm with you.

I think if they had their duthers right now, they would sign him if, if the math was. Yeah, the challenge is there's a gap in the money. Like 20 million bucks is what we'd heard this summer. Like the difference between seven times six or nine times eight is a lot of money. Yeah. Yeah. It's 72 versus 42. It's 30 million bucks.

That's a huge gap. Well, then that's where Carrick Conroy earns his check, right? So he goes to the agent and says, okay. and maybe he's done this already. I need your best and final. Like, you know, is there any wiggle room? Because we're not going to do what happened with Mika Ranton and the Colorado Abilage.

You know, if you're willing to negotiate, okay, let's have that discussion. But, you know, what's your best and final? And if you can't stomach that, if you can't live with that, well, then the decision is made for you, isn't it? Yeah, and they had those conversations this summer, but you're right, it changes and it's different. change,

coming off injury, and the cap clarity is different. Yeah, yeah, and I don't think Rasmus Anderson's desperate, the other side of it, I don't think he's one of those guys.

There were a few guys that were here years ago that were like, get me that. I was just going to say, I don't think Rasmus is that way. It's such a different. Rasmus would be, I'll move to get what I want, but I don't think he's,

I agree. And the agent's got to be thinking, like, look at this UFA class shrinking. Like, my guy is becoming more valuable. He's playing, better and these other potential D are resigning.

Like, I don't know the fastest number is shrinking right now. Yeah, it'd be hard to build a case why he would be enticed to take a hometown discount to trim his number whenever the most world's towards maybe making more. Correct. And it's not like it's like, oh, we're going to be in the cup final the next three years. No, you're not there. Yeah. The advantage you have, if you're the Calgary Flames is obvious.

You put that mega contract in front of him. All right. Well, that's guaranteed money. sitting right in front of you. You know, you're going to take it. You're doing what you're doing. Yes, 100%. That's all we're asking you to do.

And, you know, look, I mean, the sign and trade, it happens. It's not unusual. It's not the easiest thing in the world to pull off. But, you know, it can be. But then you get to free agency and you've got a smaller contract term to work with and all of those things. You know, if Calgary is serious about trying to keep Erasmus, I would think that they would get at it sooner rather than later

and make him look at the enormacy of that contract and the generational money that he would make by taking it now and see. But look, players more than ever also are willing to bet on themselves. There is some risk. There's a bit of a gamble, right? Injury included. You know, what happens? God forbid, knock on what it doesn't.

Something goes completely AWIR late in the year. You know, maybe people second-guess me get into free agency, but we'll see. Based on the pool of unrestricted free agents, Ryan, to your point, he's going to have his pick of the letter, and it'll be the usual suspects who are at the front of the line. Yeah.

I know that the story is that Florida Panthers don't care about where they finish. It will be third or second, maybe wind of a vision, whatever. They are, with 26 points, they're tied with Buffalo for last in the east. And I don't, it's seven, was it seven points now? They're back of the wild card. It's a lot. Is it getting late early?

Like, is it starting to maybe be one of those things where I would throw the season. You're going to get Kachuk back soon, though, I would think. Wasn't December the timeline? Like he's got to be quick here. He'll be so focused on the Olympics and everything. Anyway, I just wonder if it's, oh, we're good. I was trying to think of an analogy. Like when you lose control of your car, is like, am I going to hear you, I did?

No, I'm fine. I'm, geez, I might not be able to pull out of this thing. I just wonder when it gets to be a bit serious. Wow. deficits for them. We did the regional game leave some Panthers on Tuesday. And that's as listless as I've seen that team play in a long, long time. And look, here is the built-in excuse that isn't an excuse.

They had seven regular forwards. out of their lineup in that game against Toronto on Tuesday. Forwards. Like, you know, I mean, Paul Maurice and that coaching staff have done masterful work over this entire season at this point. And, you know,

the back-to-back Stanley Cup championships and the trips to the Stanley Cup final. I mean, that speaks for itself. One thing I know, though, no one's throwing in the towel there. And Billy Zito is general manager. He's going down swinging, whatever that looks like. Like if, you know, there's no magic player out there available that is going to imminently change the direction of this team.

But it does feel like Zito is going to have to get involved here because more than ever, they need help right now. I don't know the draft positioning. I don't know that they have their first round of this and that. Drake's talk to Zito and tell them, pump the brakes, take the year off. sell a little bit. Barkov is not playing for this year. Cachuk's been hurt. Throw a season and recoup some young kids and redo it.

Get after it. Don't chase it again. Three in a row is already a stunning achievement. Three finals in a row. Throw a season. You're not throwing it. Circumstances have happened. And I know it's hard to believe.

They don't have a first. The best case, then trade and get one. Yeah. The best case for the Florida Panthers right now is to accept. this as what it is. It's not going to kill their the vibe in South Florida. They're still a very popular

and people still know they're a good team. The best thing they could do is not chase it. That's fair. And you start to wonder if the players can see it and feel it too, right? Like, you know, Bobrovsky was good the other night and I think he's been better of late, but he's

been leaky this year, man. It's tough. You can't go that deep all the time. The cultural Capital up north. They're struggling. Part of the reason they're struggling is their goaltending hasn't been good and their defense is porous. But mostly, and I believe this about the league in general, mostly winning and losing in this

league is about the energy you can bring to the rink and the excitement you can have in the dressing room and on the ice. It's not X and O's and there's different skill levels, but 90% of it is, are you having fun or you have an energy on the, are you playing hard? And if you're having that, great. Now, bullet-kender can pop a balloon real quick with a shitty goal against. But, and the reason that Edmondson's struggling, the reason that Florida is struggling, injuries with all the, they're exhausted.

I think you're right. They're exhausted. It's a mental toll that's played on you. Throw in a towel on this year for Florida. You just won back-to-back Stanley Cups. Come back again next year. Bark off healthy, all these, and go after it again. Recoup.

No. I remember just speaking of, of. Florida and Paul Maurice, he probably wouldn't like me telling the story, but it goes back to the Carolina Hurricanes when they drafted Eric Stahl, like a bazillion years ago. Like they were an okay team. You know, I think they had a decent start and then things started to wobble a little bit. And Jimmy Rutherford was a GM and went to Paul, you know, around January and said, look, man, you're not getting any help.

We've got to get ourselves in position for this kid. He's an incredible player. And so you got a tough second half coming here. So maybe that's a conversation Zito has with Paul in your future. I believe that. Now, I don't have any pressure from an owner or an expectation. We also don't know the timelines. They'll have a better idea of when actually Kachuk's back.

It doesn't matter about Kachuk. I'm saying that even with Kachuk back, if you don't have Barkov, But they haven't wrote them off for the year. That's my whole point. If they think they can get them back in March, that changes everything. If they think he's done for the year, it doesn't for me.

Really? And that's what I'm saying. So we have a healthy barcove, check in the playoffs? You don't take that. No, I don't. Because after three years of Stanley Cup finals, you're not going to do it.

The odds are stacked against you. 100%. And you're a big numbers nerd. I'll guarantee you if you went and did some AI computer generated bullshit. It makes sense. I'm telling you, it's like,

I agree, but they've already thought of them. It's like signing contracts with guys that have had success in the past and given, and I love Brent Seabrook and he's around here and I'm not trying to poke. When Brent Seabrook signed, we're like, holy F, that's a lot for an old guy. Now I know you're paying him for what he gave you and that's admirable, but that's not going to. You're not saying they can't. You're just saying Bill Zito, don't chase. No.

I agree with they don't chase, 100, but I don't. That's what he's saying is. He's saying sell parts, though. I would sell to recoup. If I could recoup and rebuild a little. little bit more so that I'm better off next year. Yeah. You, it's, it's fine.

What's the downside of, do you really think that they're going to find it again and cruise through and go to the, I, what are the odds of the Panthers going to win in the Stanley Cup again? Yeah. I wouldn't. I love when the East has better odds if they're healthy, though. That's the other counterpoint, right? Like in a seven game series, I still look at that group.

Everything has to go right for you. You're so out to, like, they're so fortunate. Yes, they've worked their. asses off. Yes, yes. Then they plan and Zito's put together a wonderful team and all the above and Barbowski's. You just don't do it 10 years in a row. Like it's just too hard. They played so much rock. Yes. And I just think if you're realistic about it, you see, we're not going to throw the towel up the brakes. Chase after this too much. How many years did Pittsburgh chase after it? Yeah. Because they had Balkan and Cross,

be. Yeah. And that, that core group, we're going to win. Detroit, Chicago, I mean,

going on the list. There's a cycle. Yes. And maybe if you toss a towel in on a season in a certain sense, you can recoup some of that and not have the down cycle

or the death spiral at some point. Yeah, it'll be interesting for watch, see what they have. So you tell Zito for me, which is, I will. I appreciate it.

I'm not sure what you have on the go this afternoon, but, that's what I'm doing. I got my marching orders. I know it's right. You got it. Your team sucks. Appreciate you, buddy. Have a great week. All right, fellas.

There he is. TSN Hockey Insider, Darren Dregor, joining us on the insider hotline of presentation of Crystal Waters. Plumbing and Heeding. The best in the business. Hot water tanks. The garage heater. Drake's a life changer. I agree with the overall philosophy of what you're saying.

I just also think this team could be at 100% health in the playoffs and be in as a second wild card and still, I like them in every series they play. Like who's a beast in the end? When's the last time a team won three in a row? What was the last time? One's the two in a row? Like they were already,

they were the last time. They've been four in a row. They're trying to make history. No one's won three in a row in the cap. That's the only thing. It's great. And it's an argument that we, none of us can win.

And you can be passionate about it and this and that. And you're, I just don't think, go through the course of hit and again if you go back to all the Montreal one six years there were six fucking teams no cap era is not realistic there's 32 teams getting in is going to be a son of a bitch but you have to be at the top of your game it's easy to say well we're just going to get in and turn the they did that last year I don't know that that's a switch that you just turn on year and year over and over and cruise through to because I'm

Other teams want to win. Eye of the Tiger is a real thing. So I'm with you. I look at their age. I look at the guys they've locked up. There isn't like a natural, send this rental out and get young assets. They don't have their next two first.

They've traded them both already. Don't chase. I agree. But like a first rounder for them is he's going to help them in three, four years. That's past the prime of Marchand. You now get the second, the back half of the golf course on a lot of the guys in the roster.

They're built to win now. Okay. And they have one. now. Yeah. But yeah, don't go chasing. Don't go plugging holes. I think you F things up if you think that while we're trade away. Well, here's go through. Where's the standings? I know everything's tight, but that means every team's getting points. Like you, yeah, the other teams are still playing and going to get points. And it is a good year to sell at this point. There's so many teams that feel like they're in it and there's so few defined sellers of this juncture. Like Vancouver National

Calgary, who else actually? You're in last. Like, I'm sorry. The devils and flyers have 33. The Panthers have 26 points. And again, it's like, well, is it achievable? Sure. Why are we throwing? But we'll shit talk to flames and say they're dead in the water.

There's no chance for these guys. But Florida can do it. Well, they're missing the rest of players. That's why we're taking off the hook. So when are they back? What do they know about the injuries? We don't know that. Well, Barkoff ain't back next month.

No, but Kachuk, it's December. Is it January now? Or is the next week, I don't know. I don't think Kachuk, I mean, so they're a Kachuk away from being good. I mean, yes, he's a great player, but you're telling me that it's more than Kachuk, too. They've got a bunch of guys out. Bob Brofsky has an 886, say, percentage. And so if that turns on a dime, you're.

So that's, yeah, I don't know. You can start there for sure is to get better goaltending. Is he likely to get worse or better? I think he's likely to get better. And then if you can get healthy. Yeah, I don't, I see what both of you're saying. if they get those guys back and they go into the playoffs, you're going to have a hard time pick it against them.

But at the same time, I'm with you. I would be looking at it if I'm Zito, even with a win-now roster. It helps that he doesn't have the first rounder. Because you would be enticed. He's five points out a third in his division. Because I know you're looking at, but the easier way in isn't a wild card.

It's third in the Atlantic. Five is not, like, if you're 10 out, sure. But five's nothing when you've got 55. I've got drunk still. Could be. Remember what I said to you before the show? We need to reach down and give him a squeeze, and that's what Billy Zito needs to do.

You've got to reach down there, give him a little tug and find out, do I have what it takes? He's been an absolute stud at this. He's not made a mistake. Yeah. And what he should do, and I'm right, and I'm going to self-proclaim myself being right, if he reached down and gave him a tug,

he'd say, screw this year. Even if Barkov's back, he hasn't played all year, he's injured. Landis Gog's. was out for two years and came back and it's not the same player. It takes time to get back into game shape. So we've been great for three years.

Well, a little blip. Let's reset. Come back next year. Let's turn the barbecues off. Let's put the burns away. Let's have everybody healthy and go after it fresh. Let's, you know what, Dino? You guys go win your Olympic bullshit this year and then come April.

Yeah. We're going to shut her down, kick the feet up. come back next year let's go out they will have a ton of players of the olympics that's not going to help the panthers no what you have like they're probably i think i think there's like they're like it's obviously ryan hard it's obviously could chuck it's obviously bark up if he's healthy probably won't be like seth jones does he go for the states probably like there's a lot of really good players luster ryan for the fins the other centerman lundell oh so well that's so like it's it's absolutely a checkmark to your argument

They're not going to get rested and healthy over the Olympic break. Their best players are going to be planned. There you go. Take some time. Bill. Just take some time. So you guys. Does Jax will call them?

Oh, I don't. I don't know. First thing you. I bet you said, he started called. Is that a Christmas t-shirt, by the way?

No. Is that a reindeer? Is that just, uh, because it could be. Maybe you got to. How did my, I had one.

Best Christmas ever. Is that your BCE shirt? BC. Yeah. Yeah. We'll do that in a moment. Um, great talk. You guys wrote, uh, hobnobbing.

Yeah. With the, I wrote it down yesterday. How were the spoiled rich pricks? Oh, spoiled and rich. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Very snooty.

That's an eclectic crowd. I quite enjoyed the room. You weren't as loud and as obnoxious. I figured you'd be. You were more subdued than I'd expect you to be. Something happened early in the night. I don't feel comfortable in, uh, in hoity toady land. So it's hard for me.

I don't know, man. there's like, there's definitely some people that grew up well. And those people that are like self-made, very successful. I know a lot of people and there are a lot of good guys there, Cal's too. I didn't say they weren't good. You called them, spoiled rich pricks. Right. That's the one.

If you are a spoiled rich prick, you're a spoiled, it's not your fault. Yeah, you're a, you can spoil yourself. Like what? Oh, well, well, I feel bad about it. No, you're a spoiled rich prick. It's fine. doesn't mean you're a bad person you're a spoiled rich

prick well the prick where does the prick come in the prick is a great word i think i've told this story i used it in a dressing room once and then we were the kids after i said you're a bunch of little pricks am i allowed to say that no you just did uh and then they all got in their cars with the parents and then the parents came up to be dying laughing because they're like none of our kids know what

Little Johnny wants to know what a prick is. He called us a prick. It's a prick, dad. It's an endearing mind thing. Yeah, it's a Christmas elf in the way. Yeah, good stop. Public service announcement. PSA?

Yeah. You're in trouble? Not really. It's just one of those things I kind of want to throw out there. A week ago, we did our American Thanksgiving. Yeah, hijacking, and it was a presentation of bots on meets. and we had turkey and stuff. We did the whole thing.

And we raved about the turkey. Now, listen, here's the thing. We weren't lying to you. It was tremendous. Don't just roll, it's not on the,

they don't have a dozen of them sitting in the case. You know, when you go into Bon Ton. Apparently they're a real pain in the, it takes some, it's, it's work intensive. Because again,

it was a turkey breast. Don't tell anyone. The thing I don't want to go in there. It was a turkey breast. What we did was very labor intensive. Yeah, it's, it's, it was, it was a beautiful thing. That would be what's called a special order. And if you were going to do that, it's going to, it's going to take some time and effort.

There's going to be some things. So if, in general, with the holiday season and just call ahead, plan in advance, book in advance. Yeah. This is not great. It's just, I think we kind of said, oh, you got to try this turk, turkey and people like, hey, okay. We came up last night at the spoiled

I know. We believe you guys. You guys love food. Not if you say it's great, then it must be great. How do I get one of those? Five of those. Well, it's, you know. Too late, buddy. It's kind of like boomers' bun. Call bontan and plan ahead. How many did you order? Don't worry about it. Yeah, all right. Jeez.

So in one hand, you're doing the right thing. You're going to bontan meets for the, for your holiday. It's what you do. there's Greg but if it's a yeah hey Greg some things are specialty items give them some time

to to plan ahead hey there are a butcher boy give me a couple of them a barn burner turkey stuff sausage thing I'll take five of them do any of those beef ribs the jack destroyed

yeah we can do that we got a bunch of mouth breathers coming in looking for some barn burner turkey or something what is what is going on here um But again, it's the key to major success over the holidays is bontan meats. Yes.

I'm having this many people. We're having this. If we don't want turkey, what should we do? Maybe a couple of things, turkey. And I don't really want to do ham necessarily. Much like you, you, you know your way around the kitchen. You still, you went there, you got the intel, the directions. Well, what you should do with this particular piece of meat, you should cook this.

We discussed what we wanted to even do. They'll tell you, kind of, here's what you should do. You did it. And it was fabulous. Unlike all areas of the rest of your lives, you guys are both organized and prepared when it comes to cooking. Yeah, that's why I think Jack needs to go to the spoiled rich prick parties and learn how to cook. Those are the two keys, Jack, to social growth. What would be the benefit to going to the?

Oh, the divorce. She'd be all over, Jack. Oh, Jack would be so popular. Were there some of those? Oh, tons. Wow. Cruising. Old birds of the water deals.

Sharks in the water. Perfect. Oh, Jackie. Poor little Jackie fish is. Yeah. You wouldn't have a chance. A little goldfish in the shark tank. Oh, they'd just be sitting there petting his hair.

Oh, Jackie. You're so adorable. Who are you young? Meet my little Jack. Come on over. We're going to have so much. fun is the holiday season. Jackie's our new pool boy.

Jeez. Put me down for next year. Do you like bamboo rum? Do we like I hope people know that it was fun, right? Yes, it's on YouTube.

Somebody wearing a freaking batting helmet. Somebody reported back to me last night that some people might take offense to some of the comments that are made of them. Well, people can take offense to whatever they want. Good point. It's flat fuck Fridays. Yeah, I just fired. I got some

texts from the Thanksgiving show. Oh? About the comments you made towards me. We're good. What? I don't recall. Oh, yeah. I believe this is a McLeod lost slander and libel case. You don't need to say anything on the YouTube's. It's all jokes. On the internet forever.

Where people are they? Very curious. Jack was P.S. that's not good yeah he's a BSB uh I'll do you a favor jack hey let's let's segue we've been doing because again and you could feel it here right you can't you feel it oh he sees coming we are on the way to the best christmas ever things are tracking did you cut those goddamn trees down let's put one up watch yeah that's this weekend that's this weekend yeah you got one month once you get your TM 66 is that what it was yeah something like that so you go out and you

get your own. I mean, you can go to a lot or you go to a store or you could go out and chop down your own Christmas tree. You're going to chop it. I got a saw it. Sure, you could saw it. Pick your weapon. That's the best way for sure. Have some, you know, lovely cocktails and the Christmas music in the air and all that. Lego kit. Every single day giving you keys to the BCE. Just different and you're not going to do all of them. I understand that. But just different ways that this is going to really drive home as you sit there on the night of the 25th and everyone's kind of hammered and getting ready to go to bed. It's like, you know what? You killed it this year. This was the best Christmas ever. And you mentioned it yesterday and I'm, I don't want to, don't want to do it. But

time is of the essence. We as we sit here today, it's the, it's the fifth of December. So you got time. We've got 20 days. But there is nothing quite like today's key to the BC. We showed the Lego home alone, the Kevin McAllister house yesterday. This little project, you sit down as a family, you make sure there's a couple people. You don't just do it by yourself,

be a loner. The Christmas puzzle. Yes. The Christmas puzzle. The jigsaw outlaw. You've got Bing Crosby. Oh, blah,

bubble, in the background. You've got a, maybe it's a nice hot cup of tea. Bumbo and Nog. A little, yeah, a little whiskey.

And a little, this is the Vermont Christmas company. That's all that's what they do is the Christmas. So it's how do you want to do it? You want to sometimes what we'll do? We'll start with a little 300 or 300 piece to kind of. That was really fun. Yeah, it was fun.

So then maybe you want to kick it up and I should get it to a 500, you know. So you can that's a nice 1,000. And look at that. I mean, you've got different colors. Beautiful. It's a lovely neighborhood.

You have to have the tree in there. So that's, I mean, that's that's one. This is, this is one of, one of my favorites. This is the Buffalo, the Buffalo puzzles,

Buffalo games. I just find the cutting of the pieces is terrific. There's a nice little snap. It's a very high quality. We have this one. This is a 1,000er. It gets done maybe every other year. I do have a lot of puzzles. How many puzzles would you say? Yeah,

that's a lot. And I can show you this is the Christmas puzzle. The next one, we're kicking it up a notch. I don't know if we're going to master out. Oh, 2K. Wow. Wow. That's our 2,000. That's the Christmas toy shop. You got the guy in the sled.

We got some, look at the girl. A dog. She's looking in the window. Two pooches. We got pooches. We got a tree. We got a toy store. Lights and a toy shop.

That's a banger of a puzzle right there. We used to own a toy shop. Oh, man. You know what I mean? In the UK. So that is, that's what we're going with this year. That's our 2000er.

That's your. So if people haven't, you know, spread their. wings have got beyond 500. What are we looking at as a time commitment for a thousand? What are you anticipating for the 2K? It's a question. It's all depends. It's like a lot of things. How much effort

are you putting in? How much time are you devoting to it? Shut the TV off. Turn the TV off is right. If you're sitting down, you watch your Christmas movies, you do that. Get off your phone. Get off the TV. Sit, put on the Christmas carols and start doing a puzzle.

So yeah, I think right now you're going to you put some work in, but it's like maybe and start with the outside. Don't be cheating. Yeah, come on. Don't go on. I'm going to build the Stevens sign and then whatever. That's just a waste of time.

This is the other little tip. 2000. That's a big one. Right? It's going to be a bigger one. Where are you going to do it? Kitchen table. What happens when you got a kitchen table?

Here's your pro tip. You can go to on the box, it'll kind of tell you the dimensions of how big it's going to be once constructed. Right. And 2000 is going to be bigger than 1,000. Maybe you're just going to stick with the 1,000, whatever. You can go to a Home Depot of store.

It's a hardware store. Yeah. And they will have the little thin kind of like a plywood sheet. Just a little sheet. It's flexible, but it'll vary in thicknesses, affordable. And they have the type of saw there to trim it to the exact size you need. Well, if it's going to be 2,000, that's your, that's your board that you put, these roller things.

No. Don't be fooled. Oh, it'll stay in place. We just roll it up. You're going to hate that thing. You're going to hate that thing. Get yourself a nice trusty board. When you pick it up and you move it,

there's not a lot of bow. You know, it's just kind of one of those. Nice. You'll find a place to put it. You put on top of the China cabinet or something in the other room. Or maybe it just stays on your table in one part of the room. You set up a little table.

You're at home deep. I'll buy yourself one of those little nice little tables. lots of room for everybody to sit around you get your board get your puzzle BCE best Christmas that's a veteran move I was always found that was the problem with the puzzle

once you lay it out it's once you lay it out what do you do where are we any dinner I can't move this like we're so close I can't quit on it yet when are you guys done that damn puzzle I need that table for dinner like it's they have a specialty saw at the out at the hardware stores it's just it's got to put the whole thing in there you know

there you should get one Oh, my garage. No, it's the thing. It's too big. And if you got a jigsaw or whatever, you can do it yourself, I suppose, but let them do it for you. They're happy to do it for you.

They love doing it. They got nothing else to do. Best part of my day. Cutting board. Yep. Cut and rope. That too. Best Christmas ever.

That's today's key. And again, it's early because we want to give you enough time. I get your board. I got a great one. Can I just take what you're yours then? If you've got thousands and thousands. Yeah, I could lend you one. So I'm on Bet365.

You want a 3 or a 5 or a thau? You three and a five? You tell me. You warm up with a 3 and 5. 500. Let's go middle of the road. The over under on bet 365 for boomer puzzles is 35 and a half. Oh, we got the Lego though.

We got that Lego house. See how it goes. I got a great one on a day. I mean like how many you physically own? Oh, I was yeah. Coards full. Do you not? No, it's got to.

it's at least a big rubber made tote full of totes. It doesn't. No, you know what? Your problem? 30. He's got a lot.

He's adding. He's not delete. I was just thinking, I've got the tote, but then I know there's some others upstairs and there's some in the thing there. That's that 365. Once again,

they do their homework. They know what they're talking about. Yeah. That's a tough one there. But yeah, Monday's key to the BCE. It's undeniable. Easy to do.

It's great. BC, buddy. Can't wait. You feeling it? Flat for. Vena Nova. 19 days, fellas. I know.

Because you're saying, oh, it's 20 days. No, you're not going out on Christmas Day to do this. You're not doing a Christmas day. You got to get done before Christmas, dummy. That's right. I mean, this is, if you want best Christmas ever, this should, this could be a key to the BC. You look good. Go to Vena Nova and get your loved one some lab grown diamond earrings.

Engagement ring. Well, nothing. Could. Ring of something. Maybe it's this. Neckless bracelets. Neckless bracelets. Yeah.

We get some fronts put in like a rapper. You do that. Yeah. Do they do that? Justin Jefferson. Lab grown diamond, the same chemical composition and crystal structure. Hardness and light refraction as an earth mine diamond, except it hasn't been dug out of the dirty, dirty ground.

Dirty, dirty. And they are anywhere from 50 to 70% less expensive than earthmine. the technology improves every just every year. It's getting better and making it more affordable because it's so efficient to do. And we're fortunate with Viena Nova that it's right here

in our city and they are lab grown diamond specialists. The new showroom at Market Mall, the largest selection of lab grown diamonds in Canada. And again, we around the table have all that store. We've all hit we're batting a thousand with Vinova.

We've all been hitting career numbers with Vina Nova. Can't go wrong. Sometimes you've got a gift. I think that they'll like this, but there's a chance. Yeah, you don't know sometimes. There's a zero success failure. There's a 0% failure rate on diamonds. Everyone knows times.

Vena Nova.com located at market mall. They've been there a year now. It was last November. As I recall, they moved into the market mall location. Big move. Everyone's happy. Yeah. No one's compliant in a little park and now.

No. Lovin it. Venova. Gorgeous. Vena Nova.com. You can go on there and look around. I go to the store. Both.

Or, and as I have done, say, hey, babe, we're doing a Vena Nova day. We're going to go out. We're going to have a nice lunch somewhere. Picnic. We'll swing over to Market Mall with all that park. And we'll go in. We'll see Justin and his great staff.

I'll be in the food court. You talk with Justin. Yeah, that's right. Go have some pretzels and diamonds. in your puzzle box as kind of a surprise. Yeah, like a swerve. Wow.

Oh, it's a puzzle. I know, yeah, you love. Let's do puzzles. I knew you'd love it. You like puzzles. What's this? Maybe you should take a look and see what kind of puzzles it is.

When I open that puzzle? I'm just like doing the puzzle. Huh? God, I'm full of ideas. You can use it. There you go. God, Justin. it's a good guy saving lives yeah it's a good guy not all heroes wear capes

dude yeah saving marriages and the crazy thing is dumb guys like us the closer he's hot I don't know what I'm getting get by the 23rd 24th you'll spend any amount of money just oh I just don't even care how much of costs anymore I just need something God I'll pay anything affordable go get a diamond get a diamond get Let's just get it all. Yeah. The train rolling here. You don't want that stress as part of the BC.

Then it's just kind of you can enjoy. Like Ryan, you can enjoy December and the days leading up on a puzzle. In his eyes. Puzzle and Bambu freely. Right. Yeah. Somebody had,

I could, I may as well show it here. That's a free, but I'll show it. Can we call the Bambu drink the Bambooner? Bumbumer? I mean, it works kind of.

I haven't decided. what the best. I've got bamboo and nog, but we can flex that. Well, I was thinking you could do rum and eggnog. And if you wanted to just do some like, I'm going to sip this son of a gun on some ice. I think that's, once we get through 10, as Red says, no one stops at 10 anyway.

Because I would think some people might say you can put any kind of rum in an eggnog. Yeah. It's like a season. You don't necessarily need the bamboo in there. Although it is sweet. It would be. And then diluted with the egg knock. You should be, you should be enjoying that. Well, what are the keys to the

rum and eggnog is not to dilute it too much. Truth. Just a little drop. Just a drop. Just a taste. Just a taste. It's the Pinda report for Villageonda, friends, where the Winter Ready SUV event

is on now. Pre-owned 4x4s, all-wheel drives. We're talking vehicles made for Calgary's winter. Check their inventory online at philichonda.com. or head up to the Northwest Auto Mall and shake the hands of those great people. They can tell you more.

Always good to get others. Tyler that always does the walkabout with the microphone and that he's phenomenal. Yeah, he's a showman. He knows everything. He is a showman. Yeah. He's got a flare.

Not a shaman. He's got like Bob Barker Pete Price's right vibes. Just in control, informative, to the point. Getting a lot of inappropriate Bob Barker AI videos. on my Instagram. I was in a two-pack thing.

You're going to play a game. Two in the pink. No. No. Bob? Bob. This is not real. It looks real. Gosh, it looks real.

It looks really real. Let's get going. Calgary Flames were in action last night. We haven't talked about it. We have not talked about it at all. No, no. Well, you did after Burr, so you've already talked about it. Yeah, I've talked about it plenty.

I decided to go to bed about two after watching us. stupid Instagram in the kitchen for two hours eating food. But I did watch the game this morning. And this was a exactly as we thought, low scoring, tight checking affair until the flames blew it open late. Hubert opens the scoring. Coronado gets on the board. Rasmus Anderson was great again.

Connor Zeri might have had his best game as a Calgary flame this year, which has been, well, people have been waiting for it. It has not been a great season, but play more like that, young man. You'll be just fine. He scored in game one, then went 20 games. games without scoring. Through the monkey off the back in Vancouver to start the road trip. So now he's got two and six.

Better. Better for sure. More on Flames Nation. Be sure. Let's check in on Bobby Germany's postgame thoughts because, you know, fine-toothed comb. Do people know what when we see? Robert Munich, Bobby Germany. Well, it's the same guy.

I know you know what it means. Yeah. Well, to watch the show know. What to bounce back from Wolf goes from getting pulled in Tampa to standing on his head. He was the first star. Good for him. Connozary's best game of the year. Thank you, Bobby. I agree 100%.

Flamesied more like that from him, indeed. And the other notes he had on the contest, three and four. Anderson's trade value going up in every game, been outstanding since the start of November. Yeah, absolutely. Morgan Frost playing, in Bobby's opinion, best hockey as a flame.

He's been really good since they've put him with Coronado and Huberto. That line's been, it feels like at least a month together. Maybe it's a little less or more, but they're consistently creating chances, and it seems to be a good fit for whatever reason. Off Cadry. Cupert O'Codry worked well, but it just wasn't clicking early this year.

Frost been good. He's been all right. One year left on his deal, so we'll see what they do there. And Anderson, yes, I know we talked about it with Dregs, and I don't know, we don't need to talk about it today even,

but if this is a spot where the flames are looking to trade this guy, he's doing everything. He's playing 24 a night. He's getting points, another great game last night. At the end of October, you're like, man, like, there's no team Sweden. There might not be a max term deal on the table. Like, he really looked out of sorts.

And I don't know that what's changed or how it's changed, but he looks, he's impacting games almost every night now with his play in a big way. Remember that game? And we had the post game comments where he was like, you know, we need to pull this out of the fire. We need to turn some things around. The record, right, has gotten marginally better. Yeah, because he's playing is really.

So rather than look around the room and say, well, you, you, he's taking it upon himself, which is what leaders do. And to just quickly touch on the conversation with Dregs, I do think they like him and they want him. I don't think they're comfortable going to the number that Rasmus' camp wants. That's where we stood in the summer. We'll see what changes between now and the deadline, or if anything, does it all. It's all part of the big equation.

20 points, yeah, 20 points in 29 games. Slow start. 2413 a night. That's Rasmus Anderson. That's Rasmus Anderson. It was a, it was a bit of a, like to consider the October and be at those totals, that's a hell of a run he's been on. Yeah, his other two points last night.

He makes the entire Huberto goal. A wrap around play breaks at zero, zero deadlock. It's a huge play. Yeah, he had one point in his first five games. It's not, and that's the thing with him. You don't even really think about him as being a point producer to be. He's a bunch of minutes. He's physical.

He's a leader. Now he's doing it all. Sign his eyes. Not of his number. Sign me. Your number. That would be good. Let's go to the schedule.

It's a four-game homestand. We talked about yesterday nine of their 12 games at home. Last night was number one. First game back, Rhett. What happened? They played well. Well, it's because they were smart enough to stay over in Nashville. Yeah, you're telling them.

You've got to stay over in Nashville. The mammoth on Saturday evening, not night. Note the start time. It's a five, not the late slot on hockey night. Then, Rhett, your sabers against your flames on a Monday at the dome. Monday at the dome. Monday. Buffalo.

Who you guys want to go? Nah, curling. Wednesday, December 10th, I've got to lose to some pensioners. Sorry, I'm busy. And the Red Wings will swing through to close the homestand on December the 10th. He might. Are we missed? Is Pinder a spoiled rich prick?

Oh, he's right on the cusp. Oh, cusp. Christ. He would explain a lot if that's case. Hey, Pinder, you're a real good curler. I'm like, stop kissing my ass. We're fucking awful. we've lost to everyone. We got one win in like 10 games.

Like shut it. Try harder. It's not a lack of try. It's a lack of effort. Sorry, it's a lack of skill. Oh. That would got me. It's not that we don't work hard. It's just that we don't have effort. It's a lack of effort. Let's just scrap that comment. Jack delete that, please. We'll keep moving. The bottom 10 in the NHL. Bit of movement last night. Getting worried about these Canucks boys.

They're committed. Are they ever? They're four games under 500. The flames are five. They do have two games in hand. But Quinn Hughes. The body language meter is as bad as it's ever been. And he always kind of looks like someone that's just been released from captivity in his post games. But the body language on the ice, especially not great. He fessed up that fatigue's been an issue. He's playing way too much. And you can't help but think about the environment.

Bad team. Another coach for Quinn. His looming free agency is summer from a year from this summer. Like it's, it's weighing on them. Yeah. And as you've got it there, that's points percentage. points they have 23 they're they're last in terms of points right and two of two wins in their last 10 and they look like garbage yeah and you're right and they're right and he never really looks

like he's overly enthusiastic or bubbly he just kind of always he's just got up got that hang dog look on him but who boy yeah it's it's panic levels are rising in vancouver at least with Calgary and Nashville, you hadn't understand that this could be an outcome. That was not how the Canucks operated this summer. I wonder how they, who knows what the hell they're thinking. But if they firmly believe he's leaving at the end of next season, which I think we all kind of do. And now you're watching your team struggle and you're seeing how he's performing.

So here's, let's quickly do a little tangent on Quinn. We probably need to get this. Because we got to do this thing now. What happened when the flames didn't move Rasmus to the deadline and then talk to teams in the summer? the extension became a huge issue. At the deadline, it's a non-issue. You can't extend a guy when he's got a year and a half left.

You can't even talk about it. He has no trade protection before the deadline. And then the summer, the extensions there, which basically means he controls the whole process. If you want to maximize return, you have to move from ahead of this deadline. I'd trade them right now. Why not?

It helps that they're last. Yeah, it gives them clarity. You know what I mean? If they're in the mix, this is one of the best defensemen in the, world. How do we get rid of them? Yeah. And again, the Raspas situation. We're talking about a much better players as good as Raspers. This is one of the top three, four,

five defensemen in the world. Yeah. I would be very frightened. Like, it's a problem with the owner because, like, he thinks we should be, you know, like a playoff team every year and stuff. So like when Trev pitched the rebuild and stuff,

Aqua Velva said, no. Does Jim know that he doesn't work there anymore? Or is he still just talking to people? He's just sweeping this still part of the event level. we're going to need a we're going to need a prospect in this deal I think Jim there's a lot of firsts we're going to need hey because he's like heading into his prime and stuff they're like we fix the glitch we haven't paid Jim in two years why is he still here he got that red swing line stapler I'm not sure what's happening uh let's go to the finals from last night there's lots of hockey while red and I were checking outside boob at the party

Lots of that, too. I didn't enjoy it. Oilers put a nine spot up on the cracking. That's twice in the last week that they've throttled Seattle. It was a 4-0 skin dog shut out last weekend. So that's 13 to 4 over their two-game set over the last six days. Impressive victory there. Columbus, all kinds of goals against Detroit.

They went in the shootout. And the Islanders finally handed the abs a second. regulation loss of the year. Also look at this streak. 17 plus games with a point. That's over as they lose in regulation to the aisles who got ahead early and did not stop.

It was also the return of that to New York. Yeah, emotional. 12 years he was there. They gave up a real good prospect in a first to get him and then extended him last summer. Abbs losing regulation for the first time since October 18th. That's the second or third week of the year.

That's crazy. And the young Schaefer fellow, the first overall pick. God, is good. The second fastest 18-year-old defenseman to reach 20 points all time. Took him 28 games to get 20. It took Phil Housley, 25 games. Phil the house. He was good.

Yeah, physical Phil. That part wasn't maybe as accurate. Seroca and 35 saves. I was a turn of pretty quick, fellas. I know the owners are worried about being Buffalo. What if you wanted to be the Islanders? Well, you, like everyone talks about the rebuilds that don't work. No one ever says, look at how many do work.

Look at all these cup winners with top five picks. And weird how one player can change. Big time. One all world player can do it. Well, and they had three first rounders. They moved Dobson for those two teen picks that the habs had. Those are going to be players coming in the next two years. You got to hang on to guys like Bronflow Nelson.

Never mind that deal, too. Another pick. The Rangers, meanwhile, that was their 12. road win of the year. They beat the senators four to two. Rangers have won five of their last six. They're coming. They're kind of. Rangers three, eight and one at home. 12, four and one on the road. That's bananas. Why don't you like MSG? New mayor. Don't like the mayor. Senators, they have lost three or four. Look how tight the east is, boys. I'm only showing you fourth to 12th. Now, think about the difference. One team is getting home ice in a series.

The others missed the playoffs by four spots. Two points separating failure season versus home ice round one. Crazy. It's a lot of stress, Dean. Big win for the Predators. We should mention in there as well. Yeah, who'd they have? They had the Florida Panthers.

They beat Florida 2 to 1 in overtime. They got throttled two weeks ago by the Panthers to 8, 5 or something. That's interesting. So good on the Preds. Loser point for the Jets. The Preds aren't going to kick their feet up on coast. Trots is F bombing them. they're responding.

Works for me. Yeah, I'm happy with that. They want to just really get out of that basement. That'd be great. You know what, B.C. F off. We don't need Vancouver. Don't be stealing our thunder here.

Yeah. This is no good. I know the Canucks. We can't see. You know what? That's the sign of a good rival, though. We can't let them have nice things. You know what I do?

We're going to stink up the joint. We got to get Demco back in there. That's the only. thing they can save them now. Yeah, whatever. Get some of your weird voodoo medicine. Get some horse placenters or something, whatever that's spooky science stuff.

Get them back in the net. 157. Tonight's schedule will take a peek at that. It's a Friday. We've got some hockey. Five games. Knights and Devils. Okay, sure.

We've got the reeling jets who were in that bottom 10 graphic that we showed. Jets are having a tough go. They host the Sabres. who will be in Calgary and Monday, as Rhett told you. Sharks and stars at night, sharks are fading a bit here. The Utes will see them Saturday night. This is the first of a back-to-back.

They're in Vancouver tonight, Calgary tomorrow. That's good news for the flames. It was the people turning for them to win or trying to win in their organization, sure. And then the Caps and Ducks, the nightcap, ducks got pumped last game they had at home. We'll see if they can respond against the caps who just shellacked San Jose. I was looking because we did the show last night. the devils at home are our underdogs to Vegas on the money line.

That's this Eastern time? Those are all Eastern time, yeah. That's how the league operas. I cropped out the ET because blind guy here needs it as big as possible. Well, no, I need to know that it's on TSN3 and MSGB. Well, you might want to watch the games? Some of them might. I don't know.

I know where to fucking find it. It's not on MSGB. It's all our New York. good at solar New York. Oh, for all the, yeah. And the Eastern Times. So what's MSGB? That would be the bullshit.

That's what it is. That's the MSG Buffalo feed. It's in your, it's in your spice rack. What's the boozy guy you had on the kid hockey team? He's going to watch. Georgie Sweetland. Yeah, Sweetland needs to know what channel it's on.

Let's go to the Calgary Hitman. Huge game. Game of the year, you could argue, at least we're an entertainment standpoint. It's not even close. Teddy Bear toss is Sunday 4 p.m. It's going to be a huge crowd, boys. Huge.

What are the greatest event? I've ever seen. It's marvelous. You've got to be there. Press level now. We're talking like, we get 17 to 19,000 here. That's going to be unreal. A lot of teddy bears. A lot of teddy bears. Great cause. We always talk about it, assuming you know, but all these bears that are new will go to charities in the area. And it's an incredible legacy over the last, what, 15, 20 years, what they've contributed to the community to pick up to the hitman. Yeah. And again, if you have a teddy and you're sitting up in the press level, you make sure it's got enough weight to it that it can make, you've got to get it all

the way onto the ice surface. Don't. Don't. Don't. Nothing with bricks. Disappointing if you just kind of tossed it and it lands on the top of the second deck. I mean, you want to get it out there.

See that kettlebell? Just put that rate in the... No, don't do that. Take a slingshot of some sort. No. No? Let's go to the Thursday night football game. The over was 54 and a half.

And we were ready for some fireworks. It was over. Oh, really slow start. The Overlooked in trouble. But of course it wasn't. It's the Lions and the Cal. Boyce 44 to 30. How about 74 points on the board last night?

Goff's fist pumping. George Pickens completely mailed this one in. There's video of him that will not disappear. It's on the internet forever. He was dragon ass and not trying on many routes last night, Jack. Yes, he was. And he got ripped apart by Richard Tribbon Post. Jack is so excellent.

All over my feed this morning. I am so happy. Former Steeler for those that have to connect. Third round picks looking great. And what was the spread there? It was Detroit three and a half? Was it three? Three all week.

Yeah, so you cover, I guess. That's a hell of a cover. Yeah. Got a lot a lot. Glad we were doing our football picks today because I would have absolutely been all over the cowboys. Like a lot of people were. Hey, it's the end of an era for the Calgary Stampeders.

And a big salute is owed to John Huffnegall who has been a rock, a pillar. You could argue the foundation of one of the most successful runs of pro sports we've seen. The stampeters have been the stand. Stampeders have been the standard in the CFL for much of the last quarter century, and John Hoffnagle has been center in it, whether it's president of the team, head coach, general manager, he played for the team, he's done everything. He is Mr. Stampeeder. He is synonymous with the Stamperors.

He is now going to advise the Toronto Organizzi's gone. He and Dave Dickinson co-released a statement together, I guess really just sharing a lot of respect for each other and what they've meant to the organization. I don't know why or what reasons you would want to either go to Toronto or consult for Toronto, but it's the end of an era with Huffnegel gone. There was the time before he got here between ownership and how things were being run. The Fetrupe. It was, yeah, it was a Federer and Fetary. The owner's kid was playing quarterback.

It was a bleeping shitstorm. I don't know why I believe one, not the other. But Huff was got him back to the standard. Yeah, ownership changes. Huff Nagle comes in and it was. was instant. Everything as far as the tone and the feel around that team changed. Yeah. And it always was kind of an interesting with Dickinson, you know, both quarterbacks, both guys played for the, I think there was a real good kind of a parallel. Those guys

like-minded in a lot of ways. And you see it there. That's, that's a lot of red and, I mean, it's going to be right Toronto, Argos really. That's, look at them one hand, the Grey Cup. I know. Holes. Actually, that's, he's actually lying on the ground there. That's right. They've just after one of us great. They've just tilted the. He is strong. He's very strong.

How you doing, Buma? I'm going to miss that. Yeah, good all huff. Can you repeat the question? The FIFA World Cup draws ongoing today. I don't want to get too technical for you, but Canada is hosting the World Cup this summer. Along with America and Mexico. Two cities in Canada will host.

It's Vancouver and Toronto that will have games. All the teams you see in Pot 1 are either the hosts or the best countries in the world by FIFA's rankings. They will each go to separate groups with one from Pot 2, one from 3, and one from 4. So as a host nation, you'd get theoretically some better groups. The draws today. Don't worry about Pender's breakdown. Either way. It can be confusing.

All you need to know is. I'm going to a game. You want to go, Jack? Vancouver, Toronto. And if they win the group, they stay in Vancouver. If they finish second, I think they go to. LA, third is like Boston. Just confusing people.

17. You know, how do you feel like, wait, let's look at pot for here. Yeah, there's lots to determine there still. There's a lot on the, let's do a deep time.

You want to see Curisow? Curisot would be a real soft touch. That's perfect. Get Curisown in your room. Blue Curisow. Is that on the list? We could add that to one of these drinks. Like who feels worse about being,

because I feel it's got, New Zealand, it's like shit, look, we're here with Ghana and Haiti. We're better than that. The hell are we dealing with this? What the hell is Cabo Verde?

Cabo Verde. The null. Inclusives got a team. We got to take a long, hard look in our New Zealand mirrors, boys. We're better than this shit. Fuck's sakes. Pot four? Really? We'll see what they're doing.

Are we a pot four nation? Fucking Moroccans just strutting around with their pot two. They're good. Hey, Senegal, settle down, pot two. Thank you, Dean. This is great football now. Is it? Are you ready for some soccer?

Yeah, okay. Algeria. Guys, you bet. The Italians get it in? They're in a playoff. So the bottom half of pot four playoffs that have been determined. Oh, yeah, Uzbekistan is sitting there saying, fuck you guys. Jeez, what's your language?

Take it easy. Hey, oh, yeah. Bobba to boopi. We're in pot three. Where are you guys? Lots to be started in Europe still with four of those playoff spots. Still up for grabs with a bunch of teams. So we'll have some clarity today, but not the entire pitcher.

We'll keep moving. Canadian sports. We have winter here. We know that. We tell you to get your winter ready your SUV at village Honda, because why? Well,

we have winter that allows you to do things like this. Would it incorrect? I think you could break an ankle real quick. Could, but I'm somehow compelled. I need to try this. Can we do this in Jasper? Do you know? Bring some rackets?

Yeah, I think it's good for your... Pickle ball net. They roll up real quick. Just bring a bingo dobber, draw the lines. You got to. I mean, you're going to need some good feet. Jack, one-on-one, you be me. Oh, no.

The action stuff. No, I'm not doing this shit. Pivots, stops and starts. This is great stuff. For those of you that couldn't hear, Jack said, no, I'm not doing that shit. I'm starving. He's going to be nursing. Me too, Red.

Six days hangover. And finally, another sport that I wasn't aware of, but apparently reached its peak in the 80s. No, Rhett, this feels like something you would have seen in small town Saskatchew, and this is called belly bucking. The rules are simple. Two contestants try to knock each other out of the ring using only their stomachs. Needless to say, belly bucking is a heavy contact sport. Come on, Dana White. No, serious, this guy is.

Got to have the hands behind the back, use your belly only. There's a hair to. Get the ring, the bell. It's like sumo meets some sort of, yeah, I like this. This is good. You could bonk heads. This is hillbilly sumo. That's what, oh, and they're serving beer.

That helps. good luck with your belly bucking over the holidays maybe that'll be added to boomers bcee before i hope there's some video of some people belly bucking yeah you can send it in movie belly bucking at the drinky show i could say yeah like in football you got to get your pad levels up is that uh or is it low lots there's a lot of down force there's some side boob and it'd be it'd be embarrassing yeah it's some side oh yeah that was spoil rich pricks That's the other We're dealing with there

I want to tell you again about InvestMed.

We've been talking a lot about it, but we do believe that it is important. we've talked about. Rhett has gone through the whole thing and it has made a difference in his life. And you were a pro athlete. Yes. Imagine if you weren't a pro athlete, which I guess you spent a good part of your adult life.

Being in shape. Being in shape, being a high performance athlete. I didn't want to be in shape. It was forced upon me. But still. You were a fine-tuned machine, whether you want it to be or not.

Against your better judgment, you were in peak physical, condition as a high performance athlete. And then as you get older, even a guy like you is like, well, there's some things we could change here. There's some things that we should help with this. Yeah. Imagine guys like me.

Imagine people that have just been living life and you don't necessarily, you just don't think about that sort of thing. And then all of a sudden, you can get some horrible news. Or with InvestMed, mitigate your risk for developing a serious illness, optimize all aspects of your health, enjoy life now and as you age. And if there is something, that early, Detection. Cut it off at the past, Dean. Of potentially life-threatening problems.

You can, I can't think of anything. We joke, like you say, is this a comedy show? What is it? We joke a lot. There is nothing more important than maybe, like you say, cutting thing, finding out now, something that could save your life and give you, and you buy years of your life back. It doesn't get better than that.

Don't want you leaving too soon. Here you go.

Or both of you as a couple. I say, you know, we're going to do. We're going to go do this together. Because, you know, kind of fond of you. Would you mind growing old with you? That's right. That's sort of thing. That's what marriage is all about, Jack. I think you've learned. I've learned. I've learned, yep. Taking notes, Jack. Pre-show. That marriage is a beautiful thing. My wife's out of town this weekend. I just don't know. Balper. I hope you get through the weekend, you know. Hope you got lots of popcorn. What the hell I'm going to do? Feel for you, buddy. Call if you need someone to talk.

Jack could come over if you need a helping head. I'll tell you what, Jack. I'll see how it goes on my own. Fair. Yeah. I do a lot of the SRPs last night. Maybe a little investment for you. Is that right?

A bad idea. SRPs, sir. Spoiled rich brick. That's right. What? They need to go to this. They do, yes. Especially.

High and mighty and they forget the role. Yeah. They've not had a lot of strife in their life. They've had no first. If I don't have a hail. It's just a gravy train with biscuit wheels, their whole friggin life. Got that pile of gold coins.

That Scrooge McDuckooley, may as well use it. Don't go keeling over too soon on us. Let's look at our football picks. It's dead 365. We're heading into week 14. Wow. Because it started last night, but we are in it. And bet three, six, five, game props, player props,

totals, the money line you parlay. They've got stuff that's already pre-built in there. In a lot of ways, if you're going, I want on any time. What is this guy? How many touchdowns has this guy had? Well, here's the last five weeks. Here's what, what are not passing yards? What don't interception?

They do a lot of that kind of work for more. Here's what we got for week 14. I'll start us off. Left to right, it's usually how we roll. Cincinnati is tire-fired defensively. The bills need to get going here. Playoffs are around the corner. They're fighting for positioning.

New England may have that AFC East wrapped up, but Buffalo needs to get going. I think they do so against any team that will have Burrow and Chase, but Chase, Jamar Chase, I do like the bills to cover this number. They have the ability to just pull away. Josh Allen,

James Cook, let's get her going against that bad sin CD. Denver, I love their minus seven and a half. They're in Vegas. Vegas is absolutely brutal. Chargers aren't that good. They destroyed them last week. I think I'm just definitely going to pick whoever's playing the Raiders each week.

And I like Houston. They're really coming into nice form here. The defense is flexed. They did it to the bills a couple Thursdays ago. They're in Kansas City. They're getting three and a half. You can lose by a field goal that defense is still cover. I like the Texans in Kansas City.

I want a complete audit done on my overall number. I think Jack's out to lunch. Yeah. Completely. Two games over five. I want to audit leading the way. I want to go back over this. Make sure.

Don't trust. Do you guys, do you take vitamins? I do, yeah. I got a vitamin here. What is it? This is the basis of my picks. Vitamins? Right here.

This is vitamin B. It's great for energy levels. It's great for overall health. And you need vitamin B. B in your life. And so with that being said, I'm going with the vitamin B picks. Jack, back to my pick. B Bills

Broncos Browns Browns Bears and B B B B B Dino Yeah

I think you just had an aneurys And that's what's happening this week You need vitamin B for your energy levels The B brigade is going to bring it home Vitamin B I felt good because you do have the winning record I'm like I'm on a lot of the same games as RET

So that bodes well Yeah, yeah. No, it smoked. And then you chose a letter of the alphabet. Oh, I chose a vitamin. I was about to take it. I was, that's a good idea. Vitamin B, energy.

Yeah, it's good for this time of year. Bills, Broncos, Browns, bears, bucks. Look at those numbers. Great numbers. Bills pick at all, actually. Do you know? But you have to take the bills.

They're my bills. Yeah, you got to take them. You're welcome, everybody. Send your royalty checks to. It is kind of that thing. You don't need to take these picks. When he goes 5 and 0, it's just like the ass hattery is through the roof. He's going to crush the slave with some stupid letter.

That bill's line is now minus 6. So it's good you got in at 5 and a half. That's good. It's moving the right way for us, right? Excellent. I thought I'd go the other way. Sesame Street, the letter B count. What?

Loving these picks. Talk to me feels so good this week. Boys, I'm on a roll. I wish you did them all. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's a light slate for Dean. Browns at home to Tennessee, the Titans are terrible.

It's going to get back to 500. And that Brown's defense is legit. Minus four at home against the Titans. So you had to go do research to come up with the Browns? Everyone has different strategies, right? You looked at who they were playing? You know where they're playing? You've looked at the weather?

Denver. Oh, another B. Broncos. They're playing the Raiders. They're giving up seven and a half on the road. I think the Raiders are shy. They're horrible. They're no good.

I'm with you, Pender. I like Houston. They've got the Chiefs, which is scary a little bit. And I feel like we're being hooked a little bit with the harf of point there. A little more than a field goal, but okay,

you hooked me. You got me. The Rams, lose last week, like we were all on the Rams. Yeah, Carolina. It's out of the blue. It was a get right game.

Eight and a half on the road, indoors at Arizona. They were embarrassed last week. Kyler Murray done for the year. There wasn't a third. thought he was going to play this week, but he's been ruled up for the rest of the year, and suddenly his future is a major question. He's not very upset anyway.

He's playing cod. He doesn't care. Monday, the Eagles, minus two and a half. I got under the field goal happy in L.A. to play the Chargers. Eagles find ways more often than not. Tampa Bay. Getting healthy. They got the box.

Another B-T. Yeah. Saints are in Tampa, giving a lot of points away there. I don't like it, but I'm going to do it. And of course. Saints are hot. or the Bears. Look at that.

You got a lot of my picks. Ah, bears. Oh, bears. Six and a half points in Lambo against the Packers. Can I take those points? I'm just copying you. Well, Jack's got the next one. Good job, Dean.

You can get back to 500 if you win all those. Putting the B and BCE with my buddy retro. What did you want to say, Rhett? I picked the Browns and I don't know who they play. So, but I was because you've got them pick. so yeah is there no other B team like there's no other angle another team another

yeah because I feel like I love this let me see if I can maybe I'm gonna try and entice you maybe maybe it's not a team but yeah like Baltimore Bengals

Baltimore that's the other bills that's the other bills that's double yeah you can't do that I could go ahead Jack I'm with you boom Cleveland minus four against Tennessee

Tennessee is awful. I don't care who's playing quarterback for the Browns. The Browns have an unbelievable defense. Cleveland this time of yours. I don't know why I'm doing this. It's ugly. Pittsburgh sucks. But I've seen this story a million times.

Everyone thinks Tomlin's toast, fire them. They're going to come out and win this game this week. It's now moved to six, so you're in at five and a half. Nice you done. Moving there. Right way? Is that moving? Or no, I guess it's one the wrong way.

Do you want to take it at six? Do you want to take an extra half point? Yeah, give me the six. Steelers plus six. I was going to say for you with the Baltimore, they're now a six point favorite. Yeah, I think Lamar is confirmed to play. He hasn't been practicing,

which is weird, but they are saying he's going to play. He's not a hundred. That's for sure. No, not a Honda. And this is the first of two games left between the Steelers and the Ravens.

They play week 17. That's a big one. With you guys on the Rams, eight and a half point favorites against Arizona. Staff Daddy. Damn, Danny. Coming off a loss. Tampa Bay,

getting healthy playing New Orleans. The box. The box. Minus eight and a half. And Miami, they're on a three game winning streak. I have no idea why they're winning games. I will take the minus three against Tyrod Taylor and the Jets. Ew.

There you go. Tyro's like how are they favorite through? Who are they playing? Oh, the Jets. Okay. Now, none of us touched the Colts Jaguars. I don't trust either of those teams.

I think the Jags are better than I think there and the Colts aren't as good as that hot start they had. I don't know what's happening there, but that's AFC South. Like, whoever wins that's got... Jags at home, getting a point in a half against the Colts. And Danny Dimes has a broken leg. Is this like...

Yeah, it's not weird. He's been playing through a fracture and his leg. It's Fib, I think. You did that. Yeah. All the time. Yeah. Today come up upstairs.

The Seahawks are seven-point favorites in Atlanta against the Falcons. Seahawks D has been unreal. Seahawks, good team. But again, the confusing team, the Falcons are they win something. Yeah. I don't get that. Falcons. And you know what?

Off the top of my head, I might be wrong. I feel like much of their success has come at home. Caliphon's? Yeah. Like I think it's it. And what do they do in a quarterback? It's going to be. Kurt.

Kurt. Kurt. Kurt. Kurt. Kurt. Cameron? Yes. Yeah.

You can sling it. What was that? I don't know. Silver spoon? Silver spoons. Those are different strokes. What was he on? Anyhow.

Did anyone, uh, touch Vikings commanders? No, I don't know what the, yeah, both those teams confuse me. Because they're going to go back to McCarthy. It's in Minnesota. JJ. Commanders minus one and a half on the road.

Do we know the Jaden Daniels situation, John? I think he looks like he's playing. Like he's going to play. I'm kind of intrigued by one and a half. And I think we're all on the, yeah, who's on every other game there. with our deep analysis.

A little nervous about my bolts on Monday against the Eagles. Someone picked the Eagles. I got them at two at minus two and a half. Yeah. How do you feel about your bills, bud? Yeah, we're nervous about the bills. Burroughs back. Over under 53.

So a relatively high scoring game. The fence is that going to. You know what you said? Burroughs back? B.B. That's tough. But it's Bill. Bengals, the bills.

Burroughs back. Don't care. It's the bills. Buffalo bills. That's right. Bills at home? Bills at home. Just clarifying your note about the Atlanta Falcons,

their home record, two and three. Two and five on the road. I don't know. Yeah, I guess when you don't have, yeah. They just don't have many wins. They're four and eight. Alkins are bad. You know what's going to be sad here?

We're almost out of football. Yes. God damn it. Those are our picks. You don't need to use them. Might almost recommend that you don't. But what we do recommend is that you take a look at your bet 365. And bet responsibly, it's just to have a little bit of fun.

Maybe you have some fun with your buddies. You jump in on a parlay or do whatever. Spice it up. Never ordinary. It's never ordinary at bet 365. Titans in the driver's seat for the first overall pick. They have one win this year. Raiders, Saints, and Giants, all of two.

Handsome Dan. that's right. A four bomb. Did he? Yeah, I guess. Four, yeah. Four goals. He's even paying for empty and others?

I was going to say, I didn't need to do it. Fonzance. And chat. Happy FFF. Jack is to spelling and French names. What I am to hockey stats. You can tell what we are trying to say,

but it's a little off. Jack, can you pronounce this name? this name for me. Jean-Gabastin-Ggerer. It's pretty close. Z's. Yeah, there's some Zed. He's French. He's speaking in French. That's his accent, huh?

I was sure. I thought he was going to go to the J.S. The Gene. I thought a Gene was coming hot. I know this guy. Some people are called Gene. Hey. Yeah.

That's true. It can be confusing. Billy Jean. What about Denham for a nickname? Not my lover. What about denim? Wouldn't that be a great nickname for him? who jean yeah i like that actually no you don't

i don't mind that had some dad 40 bucks thank you sir thank you thank you wasn't there a jean come jean francois your beau that's jack you knows all the french canadians uh jean francois i think it was uh i make because i made fun of scruedlin for wearing those pants eric eric zane boys boys I've been waiting years for a new boom, boom and warner cooking YouTube show. New premise, you guys teaching Jack how to cook. It's a number one hit waiting to happen.

I can't unscute any of that. That's absolutely accurate. It wouldn't be hard to do. We could cabby out of his video and set up some... Build a kitchen? Yeah. There's almost room for half a kitchen in there. Never run the cameras and the people.

That's enough. You got a hot top? What are complicated things. There's even that shitty little room in that. the back. It's full of stuff now because all the crap that was in that room is now in the backpack. What am I going to put my stuff? I know.

You're screwed. Truck. Tough. Tough. We're not going to put all his notes. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.

Eric. I'm in, Eric. Jackson. We're good people. Just got to convince the boom cat. And you know what? We could do it every day.

And then we could make enough to send home for everyone for families. Feed me. So when are we doing this show? after this show. Like right now, we're all hungry. We go over to the other studio and then we start chopping. So like right now,

do you want to start filming another show and cooking or do you just want to eat? Okay, so you're just cooking. What are you going to go home and cook? What the hell difference does it make? Well, okay. I tend to complicate things for no reason. Fair enough. I, uh,

I was just never standby. Yeah, I just wasn't sure if hanging around after this show was something you'd be wanting to do. Well, for sitting around cooking, it's not, it's not even a show. It's like,

coming in here working with you guys. It's just a real pleasure. I don't consider this work. Can I get stressed out about this? No. Eric. Yep, stay tuned. Number one hit waiting to happen.

Maybe next year. We need McClellan Long for the legal when Jack burns yourself. That's right. That's it. That's it. It's Friday. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. I guess it's flat. It is flat. It is flat. Yeah. The triple F. Flames won last night. Flames big one last night.

This is winning culture. Infectious. Yeah, we should have brought it up earlier, but now we're out of time. That's a shame. Son of a gun. Are we sure we didn't talk about it? Barely.

We had Toby Germany's thoughts. He was very concise. He was doing almost two hours here. We did not have a deep analysis. How was after we're last night? I'm sure there's lots of flames content. Yeah, if you want post game, it's tough.

It's tough because it's, because it was Cam. and I. And you probably, I think it's probably fair to say. One person is in the, you know, this is great for Zeri,

get some goals and Coronado's still scoring and if you can, and then the other side, it's like, you could have just, you could have lost this game. They're a good team. You didn't need to beat these guys.

So it's a tough one. Had to go wolf. Caprisoff minus four. It's, oh, that's not a great night at the office. You care about that? Yeah.

I'll take the empty netter off as ledger. Minus three is no good. Yeah. What did you think of Afterburner last night, Jack? I had a lot of fun. For those that don't know, after every Flames game, we do a show it's called Afterburner. It's on YouTube.

It's on the same thing. It's post-game reaction immediately after the game. Maybe you wake up in the morning. It's like those lazy arseholes aren't even out of bed yet. I listen first thing in the morning. I got to wait until they're done at noon, and then it gets up by like 1-130. I need some water cooler content for the morning.

After-burner. After-burn. Afterburner's there for you. A.B. That's right. What did you say? Yeah, it was a good show. I think we talked about the flames for 20 minutes.

Then I don't really remember what else. You came to your guitars again. We talked about it. We, out of town, she's very excited for the world juniors. Oh, that's right.

There was some Western hockey league names. She mentioned that I've, no idea. She played a, there was a musical, a number that was played, a music video. Can't touch your flame because it's red hot?

No, this was something. You're just going to have to check it out yourself right after. She was talking about the eating butter or something. What was it? Yeah, I don't know. She was that thing. We had the Halloween Cup. She was also.

She was also in Banff last weekend. Went to the Christmas. These are both in the mountains. Yeah. I was there. And I said to her, I said I knew because I ran into Calgary Sports legend Glenn Campbell. Oh, yes.

He was out there. And he said, yeah, I just. ran into Cammy. She's here. Oh, really? But she said they were at the market and they were eating some sort of, they had flavored butters or eating butter or something.

I don't know if it was like, hey, come and eat this butter or if it was like a specialty thing that you would buy in a market and then take home. Like a free sample probably. I don't know. Christmas market. I love butter.

Yeah, I know. Like markets? How do you feel about the Christmas markets? Love markets. Yeah. Like Christmas? Being about town. Yeah.

Butter, you like markets. You like Christmas. Yeah. No brain. don't you like. Likes it all. Yeah, he likes it all. Vitamin B, I could go to Banff.

Oh, it's true. Who's Banff got this weekend? They got the commanders or what? I'm not sure what Banff's got this weekend. Not sure. Bamp's going to be busy this weekend. I just think it's great. You know what?

You guys are out hanging out together. You didn't take Jack with you. That was a huge oversight on the part. I had to work last night. Huge oversight. There's the Fiesta right there. Look at the Rettster. You had the, uh, the, uh,

the wet muskrat looked going. He was nailing it. Well, that doesn't sound nice, doesn't it? Why are you talking about it? That's the vibe. It's great. That was the vibe I was good. No, that's very, it sounds very cool.

It's a greasy rodent. And I decided a greasy rodent. It's a wonderful one. You're going to talk your way out of it for sure. It's definitely, yeah, it's definitely a, yeah. So, uh, there's a high and terrible in the background, too. We're going to let everybody else go while I sit and scan for this side boob. I was promised.

See ya, buddies.
