Hello, friends. Gather around as we embark on another journey down the Barnburner rabbit hole today. It's Boomer, along with Rhett Warner and Ryan Pinder. My throat's very sore. It's not like Bob Ross today. What the hell's going on? Happy little clouts, and I bet you there's some squirrels in those trees. This cold thing, whatever it is, started.

It feels like started quite a while ago and has decided not to bugger off yet. And I wish it would. Friggin Edmonton, right? Just do some gargling. You got a gargle with the salt. Got to get a gargle. Got to get a gargle in you.

Barney gargles? Did you see the new shooter that's out there? The new shooter. A new shooter. Drink you drink? Drink and drink. Like a shot, shot. Shot, shot, shot.

Shot. That is the thing. You call them shooters in the States and shots here. Is that fair, right? Yeah, I think, you know, back home with shooters. Okay. Maybe it's pretty. Or the shooter bar.

Yeah. Anywho. What's the new one? Yeah, down, you know, spring breakish time here, down in the U.S. of A. Right. Okay. Come with me.

Stay with me. I'm with you. Slap shot. The slap shot. Slap shot. Slap shot. That guy went to jail. you get in trouble.

I think he went to jail. I thought that was that the sham wow guy. That's the same guy. Slop chop is the sham wall guy. I believe it is the same guy. What's he up to then? What was he doing? He's cleaning.

He's a gun serving hard time. Jesus, really? Is he? He got beat up by a pro. Some weird stuff was happening. He's a real perv, this guy. Oh, big time. Yeah, he was a huge perth.

Jack, let's Google that, shall he? Could you get us some, uh, he made us like normal. This guy was a creep. Let's get Jack on that. Shamwow guy. Is Shamwow guy the same? Vince. Hey, it's Vince for Slapchop.

As Slapchop guy. Tell me more about this shot, rep. Oh, for fuck. Damn it. Well, we've got side track, but is the Slap Chop guy the same as the Shamwow guy? You typed it all in and then I press the

friggin thing. Press the X. It doesn't work then. Go ahead. Redd. What? It is the same guy. All right. Tell us about it.

Well, he did the, both commercials. His name's Vince. His name's Vince. But Ryan is saying that he, he's a spaker. Is he in jail? He got some legal issues. I don't know that he ended up getting the hard time,

but it was some unsavory looks that he was posing for there. Yeah. Really? I'll, I'll do some giggles. Well, I wish you would. before you'd throw out, I mean, reckless. Yeah, well, he wants to come with us to the lawyer. No, he's a dirty prick that guy.

Okay, good. Yeah. He's, uh, yeah. See, Red? You don't want him over Christmas. Yeah. And we don't want to take him to Greta Bar on Saturday. Definitely don't want him there.

A pitch man for the slap chop, a vegetable chopper, and Shamwow, an extremely absorbent cleaning cloth. and something like a towel, sponge and shamwa all in one. These went viral, sold millions. He became the most successful pitchman in TV history. According to police documents, repeatedly punched a prostitute after she bit his tongue and refused to let go.

What do you usually do in that situation? See, this is why you bring on the former players. They have the game to experience. We can only watch. I try to avoid in your history. How have you dealt with that, your personal experience?

You didn't trust me. We had to go do that, didn't we? Don't date me with that brush, you pricks. Coming up a little bit, just a little bit. You didn't even hear about the shot. The slap chop. Tell me about it. Would you tell me about this?

Three-year-old children you get distracted. Ball! I better be good now. It's terrible now. You do a shot and then you get a slap in the face. So it is like the slap job guy. Pretty similar. Bartender bites your tongue and there's the biting of the tongue part.

I don't. That's on the third slap shot. I don't think we need to go any further into what we would do in that scenario. No. I'd just say, uh, WWVND. What would Vince? not do. That's kind of how we got to live our life.

You're going to do the opposite of Slop Chop Vince. Repeatedly punched. Oh, man. Come on now. 2009. That's a while ago. This is going great. If you can avoid that as well, that's probably a good. I know you're a big supporter of Vince, boom, but I just, what are you, what are you kissing for?

You know, apparently, I'm not here to be doing any smooching. All right. By the way. ladies, companionship, Dean. What's wrong with that? By the way, you got extra seats by you at that big event in Philly you're going to, boom, boom? Not as it stands,

no. Oh. You're going to pay Frank his debts? Yeah, do you want me to... My youngest, who has never watched wrestling, was watching wrestling last night and was full in? Whoa. All in. Oh, yeah. Completely sold instantly.

Is that right? Wow. Wow. Wow. Like that. I think you should go and look online at prices. So how'd you get free ones? I didn't. I wish I did. Yeah. So Dean, while he's looking at prices, I want you to go look at Rett's career earnings

in the National Hockey League. No, it's fine. It's not about affordability for any individual. It's just what the, what's charging for these things. And it's not even on the, like the secondary market is stupid, but even right off the hopper from, I'm going to look. Jeez.

Oh, clearly that was a, have you, Brian, you ever have a conversation with someone where you throw something out and then it's like, oh,

there's, you're expecting maybe some. Right. But it was a base. Like Larry David on the couple weeks ago, yeah. Hey, what are you doing Friday? That's a nice jacket.

Wow, I really like that. I got you one because you said you're like, thank you. No invite to join. Not going to work. How you did? No.

Not going to work, friend. Not going to work. Coming up. Those are our opening statements, right? Not yet. All that legal stuff, we didn't even. Not, didn't even get into it yet. We're going to talk about,

about flames stuff here in a momento. We're going to have Ryan Pike on the show. A member. Now, is he one of the original members of Flames Nation? How does that work? What's his... He would give us more context.

I don't know that he was the original original, but he's probably the grand pooh-bah right now in terms of, uh... So is he the boss? Are you the boss? Who's the boss? Who's the boss? Is he paying Jack? Yeah, because we said he's not the boss.

I got to... Yeah. Now, we go, bring Pike in, we can ask him. We can do it later. It's fine. You know, whatever. He reports to people. We do it later.

Ryan Pike is going to join us here. Get his thoughts on the game last night, the season of the flames. So it's all coming down to, it's coming down to the wire. Is it? Missed out. It sure is, Ryan.

Yeah, okay. Two points that they dearly needed, I would say. Desperate. They did not get last night. So I was of the exact opposite frame. I thought that's perfect. That's a game.

You got to let that, that's a four-pointer, Dean. Yeah. Anyway, Ryan Pike going to join us. But the reason is, not just to, you know, really dig into this Washington Capitol game from last night, but also to talk about his new book. He's got a book.

Book. Just booking. How does this guy have an effing book and we don't have a book? I told this guy was writing a book two years ago. He almost had a backflip. You're like, what? He's what? He's writing a book?

You were beside yourself. You couldn't believe it. You were shocked. expensive than a bills ticket, Dean. Okay, so, but remember, there's two nights. And there's a Saturday night and a Sunday night. It's not a one-night affair. So essentially, you're buying four tickets.

This is for two days. This is a two-day pass. Okay, so how much is a two-day pass? And where are you sitting in this football stadium to look at a... I'm sitting center of the stadium, row 10. Uh, 200s, 300s, 120, no, section 118. Oh, Dean, this is going to hurt. Two grand.

Two grand US per seat. It's a big event. Yeah, it's wrestling. Ryan, I'll talk to you about this. So now he's suggesting that two grand for, for one night of a wrestling event. Let's do that out. It's two nights, like you said. Two?

It's like a thousand bucks and ice. Okay, well, you know what? You're right. So we're talking four grand U.S. For two people. And let's just assume that if you are going to go, and so you're going to spend the four grand,

you're probably going to want to get to Philadelphia. Six hour drive. Not from here. So from here, you need to get to Philadelphia. I need hotels, obviously. Probably going to need to stay somewhere. Stain Frank's house, sorry. You might want to...

You stayed at Frank? I'm not staying at Frank. What? Franks. Frank would love to have you, I bet. He kind of offered. Kind of? Kind of.

Kind of like you offered to have us join you. No, he didn't offer at all. That was a complete... That was DeKambi Matambo. You got swatted there. I should definitely think of it coming. Nope. Don't have any seats.

Why? If you're looking to buy tickets, right? I will tell you where my seats are and let's see if we can make it work. that'd be great okay Ryan Pike has written a book and he is going to be joining us in at this point in about three hours by the time we get to get to the show and get into it

writing this guy look at this guy look at that it's a cardigan too what a guy yeah that's you know what he looks like a writer doesn't he sure does yeah some the ink stained wretch that he is Ryan Pike

now what's the book about it says on the cover of the book something about the Calgary Flames so I assume it's about the Calgary Flames got you there we go all right well we'll talk to to Pike how I'm just interested how do you how do you how do you do it and then what's the book about I mean do you just

start calling up people hey I wrote a book you want to like put it on paper and put it out there I don't know how works. Well, ask him. I mean, it's a great question. How do you write a book? How does one, well, it's not about, you can write it. I mean, I could sit down today and write you a book. I don't know that it's going to get published. Oh, it certainly wouldn't. I also don't know about Hey, I will be able to come up with some material today. How much material? Not for a book. Sounds like more like a zine, like a four pager. Regardless, Ryan.

a flyer, a pamphlet, maybe? Not a book. You wrote a book. It's a lot. You can't just write a book in a day. Just credit this man's hard work. I didn't say I was going to write a book. I was just going to say I could write something.

But then how do you get anyone? How's it getting put? How is it getting put together? How are you? Are you just walking up to the book factory and saying, hey, I've got some stuff here. Do you want to just book, book it together here? Book this thing together.

and... bind this stuff for me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I need more copies, too. And I wonder, like, how many do you have to sell before you're making big money? Well, Pike just wheeled in

with his Rolls-Royce, so, I mean, I think the pre-sales got quite well, but I will have to ask him. I'll tell you what, though, there's a lot of people, you were saying, who wrote a book, there's a lot of people

that kind of do what we do that have written books. I actually, I'd written it down one time. I was in a chapters, free plug. And I was in the sports area. Yeah. He's like, well, there's Ken Reed has written a book. And Eric Francis has written a book.

Eric DeHachuk has written a book. Stephen Brunt has written a book. Ian Mendez, written a book. You just keep going on and on down the line. It's like, holy cow, this is just. You know, he's got the best racket. Jay Onwright, written a book. All these guys have written books.

It's Dave Roe. Paul Romanucks got the best one. I'm Dave Roe. No, no. What's that? Dave Randorff. That's who it is. Dave Randorff does Tampa Bay Play.

by play. He used to do some stuff at Sports Center of the old shop. And he has gotten into the elementary schools. Every single year, he publishes a like 25 page book on superstars. And it's like hometown, height. What way he shoots? Favorite snack. It's a banger. My kids go

to the library every week and bring a different year back. This guy's raking it in. Yeah, I've also been told don't think you're getting rich off of these. You've got to sell a lot of books right here. You're going to tell him what he's going to do or not doing. He's not on. Now he can't hear us.

Well, I guess he would know. No, no, we're idiots. We can't even write a book. It feels like we know, though. A Dean can't write a book. Just to get him some time. No, he can't. He can't write.

It'd be easier for me to write one than read it. Jack, does your eyes? And my brain. Eyes, brain. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's get into it. It's time for the opening statement. It's a presentation of McLeod Law.

Now, Peter Klein, You know, McClellan show? Yeah, that was the 530. He's the personal injury guy, but did you know, he's also the go-to guy in Calgary for your disability insurance claim? If your long-term disability insurance company will not pay those insurance benefits to you, get a hold of Peter. He'll go to work. He'll get to the disability benefits that you paid for and deserved it gets you that peace of mind. MacLeod-dashlaw.com for whatever your legal situation and needs might be.

last night 5-2 Calgary, Washington, Capitals. The better team? I said this, I don't know that I was necessarily that impressed by the Capitals. No. I don't know that they're a big threat in the playoffs. I wouldn't be frightened to play them if I'm a playoff team, but last night we're better than the flame. So I don't know what that tells us necessarily.

Kind of sounds like you're talking about a bubble team, doesn't it? Very bubbly, yeah. Yeah. And that's kind of exactly what they were. They don't score. That was a boring, good road win for a bubble team that needed a road win. Thoughts retro? Teams were good.

A couple of goals that Wolf might want back, but... First one for sure. It was boring. It sure was. I may have nodded off. You! At various times throughout the event. That makes this part of the show, the analyzing.

of the game. Trickier. The opening statements. Yeah. He said goalie sucked. What do you want me to do? I got to beat up on everyone. Well,

I mean, you also want to beat up on. I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that. Pick another one. Still, the box, Baha.

Yeah, not good. But maybe he can't keep up. He was all wound up in that because he kind of left his feet there and took it would give one else. It's like,

we got to get him on the Zadora of plan? What are you doing? What are you all wound up about? and then did a little hippie at the blue line there, interference. Goal. Don't do that. Mackenzie Weger, 22 and a half. One goal, six shots. He is in many ways a roller coaster ride.

Turns the puck over, scoring chance, penalty, in the box, comes out, scores. It was, he's... Could it be that that team last night, and I'm referring to the flames was perhaps, aware that they had a bunch of days off coming up now. And they do. They're off today. They're off tomorrow. They're off yesterday.

Like basically off yesterday. Yeah. The weaker, he's got a bit of Brody in him where it's like the mistakes end up on the highlight reels. But I don't know that pairing him with Miramatov has settled him down, if you know what I mean. Yeah. No. No.

No. They have two guys that were top five defensemen in the fall. That's what they have. Two. Duh. Duh. Schillington was not playing. Duh.

So Dara of is gone. Tanna is gone. Hanofin is gone. Waiver claim. Waiver claim. Fifth round trade. 26 year old with 29 games of three years. It's nice to add a waiver claim right at the start of the year.

Pick up a guy for cheap maybe. Jake Greer. I don't know if you want to stack your blue line. It's nice when you can find Ag Guy. It's not how you build. out a blue line. I'll write that down. Yeah. Send that over to Craig.

You should tell Craig. Yeah. Also, you can't sign guys to these entry level contracts. Oh, dear. I don't think that's Craig. And that does concern me. You should have the people that know the CBA working beside you. Call hold a chee, Ryan, tell us more about this. No, it drives you nuts and you don't care. No, I, they tried to register the contract.

What are we talking about? I mean, fill us in, man. Is it Sam Morton, Pike? Has I ever got the name right? Sam Morton? You were very, you talked to the guy's coach. You were very excited to have about this guy. Now you don't even know his goddamn name.

Martin here's a who? Gordon here's a who. That's what we're talking about last night. Yeah. Banger. Are you looking for info or are you just ignoring? He's scrambling. I'm not scrambling.

Sam, thank you. Cam, Sam. God damn it. You're a prick. I say something last night. He's like, this sucks. This is boring. No one cares.

And now he throws it at me today and then carves me for not being ready. It's a different show, Ryan. It's a different show. This is about informing the same miserable ass hat on the screen next to me. So Sam Morton, who you think would play a very nice cowboy

and a Western. Yes. Probably with a 10-gallon hat and a horse named Cheetah or something like that. He could be a galute. He's totally He's a total galute. You know, the social media team

gets the pictures of the guys walking in in behind the dome. He'd be getting off his horse, got his chaps and his spurs, Jing, ching, ching, ching, ching. Sam, Sam, what's his name? Morton, Horton?

Sam, Morton. I'm here. Anyway, they signed this. I'm here with a goddamn capitals. Which way to the capitals? You sons of bitches. Tell us, because you talk to his coach. he's yes a very responsible

two-way center player of the year in his conference and he's 24 he's not young but he's a center left shot not huge hard working some skill we'll see some of us know nothing which conference would this be the CCHA he played at

Minnesota Mancato Minnesota state Mavericks yeah good program and Luke Strand who I spoke with who worked in Abbotsard back of the day and old Flames assistant so that hence the tie in there tight

so close. No one has our sources. That's good point. Yeah, I'll get to do. Cover of the Flames Farm team for a while. So now, no, you brought up. It was a bit of a snafu, Dean.

I didn't even know. Somebody sent it to me. Are you suggesting that Craig Conroy has egg on his face? I don't know that it's Craig necessarily. I mean, I guess everything, the buck stops with the GM, but they registered it as an ELC. He's too old for the ELC when it kicks in next fall. So they'll have to redo a different contract today,

but it doesn't really matter. No. Yeah. I mean, we get to Pike, the more we can figure out how this affects the CBA. I mean, that's, he's right here. So they signed him to an ELC, an entry-level contract, and he's too old?

He will be. In July, he turns 25. He's an old bastard already, and it's his first contract? well he was playing college right just two three four days ago five days ago coronado was playing college he's a kid that is correct

I just noted he was 24 so still 24 the point he hasn't signed a contract before now is there not been any interest or has he just been holding back team scouts at his front door please guys I gotta get my degree here at mancato at Minnesota State

I know you guys want to give me millions of dollars in NHL money. But I won't have it. There are a lot of old bastards in college hawk. It's a good move. Buy some time, right? There was a 98. I think I told you that the other day. When I went to Canisius and watched Joe Nguyen Dykes boy.

Well, this guy's a 99. So yeah, like that's, this is a grown-ass man who is going to go to the pro ranks right away. They play tonight. I imagine he's arriving in Calgary this week if he hasn't already. but the story is just the fact that they screwed up the contract. Yeah. So whether that's a, yeah,

we don't need to go through people's names. I mean, who is it? I mean, who is it? Because you know what's not, I would think it's probably the American League GM. So hockey guys are,

are talking. It's like, help, Asco, what are you doing? We got Jim, Jim, Jim,

Jim Norton down in Mancato. We really want to get him here. Hey, we got to sign this. Hey, Gordon. We got to sign this guy to a, a friggin contract.

It's contract. Let's go. we get just can we get it done yeah we're on it who so who's on it i got it because if i were conroy and i weren't in florida at gm meetings i'd walk in there and just upset the desk if you weren't poolside with a margarita we look like a bunch of dummies out there perhaps that's monkeys hump of the football let's clean our shit up i'm glad your throat feels better it's it's in the corner here oh well congrats to Dick Horton.

Jimmy Horton. Hank Morton. How'd a boy. Will Borton. Bill Borgon. Ovechkin can still score retro. Apparently he can shoot. I'm not sure if Wolf got the memo.

Was that tipped? Yeah, it was. Rasmus. I don't know that it mattered. We'd said it. Like, oh, that changed direction. But to be fair, not a lot of goalies have done well when he rips it from there.

And it's still a low percentage. spot for a goalie to be looking at. Because it feels like, okay, the play is developing, this is what's going to happen. It's going to go to Carlson or whoever at the point, he's going to sift it over and he's going to one time. It clearly everyone knows this is happening. And the pass is not coming from,

it's not coming very fast. Black! It's full effort. Jesus. Like, everyone in the friggin' planet knew what was going to happen. And still, off the stick, into the net. It's impressive.

Zero surprise. Is he going to do it, Rhett? 52 goals away. I think so. For a while, I wanted him to, and then I didn't. And now I'm kind of like. He was at eight at the end of January, fellas. Fellas.

Well, I think I didn't want him to because the story got to get a little bit juicier, because now for a while it was like, holy, eight goals like Pinder was saying where you're like, he's going to F this up. So why did you turn? Why did you get sour? Is it because of you? I thought that the chase was all in, you know, in vain. No, because I'm a media personality, and I like a juicy story.

And that would have given us a juicy story to go, oh, my God, he's not going to get there. What's happened to Alex Hoveitchkin? And if he gets there, he beats Gretzky. Gretzky says he wants it to happen. Yeah. He thinks it's great. He's very kind. He also said Gordy Howe was the best player ever, and it's not up for debate, which is a lie.

Hmm. It says a lot of things. Thanks. What do you think Wayne does on a day to day basis? Red wine. If you wake up and you're Wayne Gretzky. So what do I have to do today? You go golf with your son,

a lot. Dege, but he's about to be busy. That's a, you know, DJ or like your winner. Damn country. Oh,

Dege. You know, he's got his own living now. 400 billion. Yeah. But if it's just the day, it was, uh,

you don't, kids are all grown up. Grandkids. Yeah, he doesn't mean. Hey, Janet, what are we, uh, what's up? Oh, she? Are they in the same house? What do you, what do you do?

You know, what do you kill your time? Does he, you know what? Do you think he putters? Maybe he's writing a book. I think he putters around the garage. He's on a, the whirlwind tour. He's shaking hands, kissing babies, showing up in all these hockey markets, signing books like Pike.

He's, uh, smoozing with owners. He owns a lacrosseeing. team in Vegas, he's busy. He's investing in shit. He's flying on private jets, Dino. Okay. So that's what he does. Champate waterfalls, all that stuff. Not as much as you, but he's still doing things.

Come on, now. He's a little long in the tooth. Toot. Great game analysis, man. No one does it better than us. That's your opening statement. And best to luck to Hank Gordon. If you want to hear

someone talk about the game, you can go to Afterburner, I guess. you did do an hour. Did you break it down? If you guys talked about it, spread the news. Well, see, here's the thing. You're the ex-player.

Let's hear what Red had to say. It was a boring game. Don't worry about Mullet Boy and Fathead. What about the guy that played the game? What's he got to say? That's what I want to hear. And you come on and say, I kind of fell asleep. Well, he said Paul took two dumb penalties. and it was boring.

Those things were accurate. The goalie should have stopped the puck. It's a nothing game for the flames and an important two points for the Washington if they want to be the eighth seed. To be fair, Mollet Boy and Fathead said a lot of the same stuff last night, Dean. I think we went into a little greater detail.

I'm sure it was scintillating. Ravay eating. Yeah. He'll. Is he still, is it illness that has him off his? the game here or season? Ladies and gentlemen, please say hello and welcome to the show. Ryan Pike.

Hey, Pikeball! He's been trotling here, yes. Let's call it that. Yeah, well, how would you describe it? What word would you use? For what I was doing or the game? No, what you were doing. I'd say chuckling.

Chuckling. Chuckling, okay. And now did you enjoy Dean when he worked on the podcast? Because I see he just left. It's been a nice run, mullet, and the fat head. Hey, are you,

do you have a job? Are you available weekdays 10 till noon? All I know is Dean's the bedrock of this community. The bedrock. Like, you think, are you calling me fat, like Fred Flintstone?

That's what you're saying. Damn. You're calling me fat. I'm calling you wonderful. Wilma! Who was hotter, Betty or Wilma? That's a good question.

Go, Betty. Like some mature. Not into Redheads, eh? Not into the old fire, I guess. So you wrote a book. Let's go back to the very beginning. Did you feel like you had an idea for a book that you,

this, you know what, this is a book? Or did you think, I would like to write a book as a, something that I will do in life. Now, what is that book going to be about?

I'm going to say a little both. So, I think we all, we all know the fine work that, Scott Wheeler at the Ethelike does. He's one of the best people to follow for prospects. You know, there's a lot of them. Plug to our buddy, Stephen Ellis at David,

daily face off, who's also indispensable. Scott Wheeler's one of my favorite people to read. So he is based in Toronto. So he did a book for Triumph books called On the Clock Toronto, basically looking at the history of the Leafs through the draft. And so he, I think when his book came out, I was like, oh, this is cool. I wonder who he was doing the Calgary one.

So I knew somebody at Triumph, and I sent them an email saying, hey, I want to read the Cowby, and who's doing it? They're like, well, nobody. Then the next email they sent was, what are you doing? Do you want to do it? Yeah, so it turned on me very quickly. My curiosity to read something turned into, well, do you want to do it?

And after I had a momentary panic attack going, oh, God, can I write that much? I'm used to writing like 400 words on the flame signing Sam Morton to an entry level, not entry level deal. So being asked, Hey, do you want to write 70,000 words? Was a difference in scale.

I think we all know that I can fill space with words, but can they be useful, interesting words? Debatable. But yeah, so we, you know, we had a little chat about, hey, how this work, what does this look like? And then it turned into, okay, can you get us, can you get us 70,000 words by the end of the All-Star Break? And somehow they overlooked us, Dean.

They didn't bring on our doorbells. If I had said no, I think you guys were in their second choice. So how much of the book has been done by AI? Shockingly none. See, Brett would call that inefficient and like a waste. What are you doing here? It doesn't matter. The problem with AI is if you just get AI like, hey, write me whatever the hell it is words about a topic, they can do it.

But if you're like, dear AI machine, dear God, how do I write 70,000? words, it would just laugh at you. So it wouldn't be able to generate anything birthed a damn. Okay. So I understand that's probably what you have to say. But anyway, I do, I do believe you for this. So I guess, so beyond that, you get, I'm thinking to maybe write in a book, would you like to write a book? Now it's all systems go. How do you start? Do you have kind of, do you keep a catalog of stuff that you, okay, what happened here? Like, do you have a filing cabinet or a filing system with stuff that you've collected over the years? Or do you start from scratch?

I'm mostly a spreadsheet guy, as everyone here knows, I have too many spreadsheets. So essentially a process was, you know, they're like, okay, after I said yes and they believe me, they're like, okay, give us a chapter list. So I had to come up with a chapter list to sort of, you know, flesh out kind of how long it's going to be, what kind of topics are looking at those kind of things. And then I think about the chapter list is it basically forces you to go, oh, God, how am I going to do this? and actually break it into meaningful chunks.

So the nice thing was, you know, I, you know, to this site, we've done a lot of history stuff over the years. We've done, you know, we know a lot of people. So I was able to sort of cobble together sort of a proto list. And then once I came up with a chapter list going, okay, can I come up with enough interesting stories to fill out these chapters? And, you know, from that point, you know, I basically just went in filling in the gaps and trying to come up with something with the relatively coherent narrative through line.

interviewing people how many people how long is that process and then you have to weed through all of the stuff to find so what's what's relevant to the topic what's to be used to i i would think that's an almost an exhaustive kind of a thing oh yeah it it uh the the nice thing was uh i'll give a shout out to to leif pr uh the great cliffletcher is currently i believe still a consultant of some kind for the Leafs. They basically keep him around to be Cliff Fletcher and give them advice when these asked for advice. And so I just, you know, talked to someone I knew at the Leaf saying, hey, I'm doing this. Any chance I can get Cliff? They went, yeah, do it. And so Cliff was extremely generous with his time. And, you know, we, we had a few long phone conversation. I just sort of

picked his brain and then came back with him with, you know, better questions on the second round, thankfully. But yeah, I was able to, I essentially went from beginning to end. I figured like, okay, start with Cliff and then work your way back, work you way to present day. And so had a couple long chats at Cliff, talked to David Poyle, who reached real tired. It was also just, you know, extremely generous with his time and his remembrances. And it was, you know, we, I learned a ton of stuff I did not know about the early days, the Atlanta Flames, which I don't think there's really a lot written out there, sort of about how much of a shit show for the lack of better term, launching the expansion team in the 1970s were they basically go hey okay yeah we're going to put a team

in long island in Atlanta you got five months good luck see you and then you know it's basically cliff and three other guys in an ACCO trailer basically scrambling to fill out a hockey club and yeah it's it was the last year they did that uh 74 75 when i believe it was i'm i say Kansas city and uh Washington they actually got a full year to do it actually more than slightly more than a year to do it because Vancouver and Buffalo and Calgary and Atlanta and Long Island just Ronehers scramble. So a lot of it

was just going in and, you know, basically going, talking to Cliff and going, hey, Cliff, who'd you talk to? And then Cliff, give me some names. And I talked to David Poil and say, hey, David Poil, who did you talk to? And then, you know, I think I got, ended up, you know, basically building out my rolodex a bit of, you know, old school hockey people through this whole process. So that was kind of a fun part of it.

And you said you've chat with every GM, uh, from the beginning of Atlanta till today, minus one. Minus, yeah, I did not get a chance to sit down with Gerald Sutter. Obviously, last year was, for lack of a veteran, a whirlwind to say. Well, Red City was going to line that up for you, didn't you not to? I'd make it happen right now. But, yeah, and the nice thing was, you know, Todd Button has been with the flames since he's on his third GM. He got hired by Alcoats as a pro scout.

Then his brother transitioned him over to amateur. And then I think by, I want to say. I forget what GM moved him in. It's in the book. He finally moved on to be the full-time guy. So he's been the full-time head of amateur for like 20 years. So it was kind of fun talking to him because he was able to sort of fill in a lot of the stuff that I was curious about from the Daryl years and, you know, provide some context into a whole bunch of stuff like how they use analytics, how the analytics uses changed, how they scout, how they, how scouting has changed, those kind of things. So, yeah, it was a very fun process.

Also, by the end, I'm like, I need to have a nap for like three days. Literally, I sent, I think I finished the book. I talked to Tree, I think during the Ulster break. I was in Hawaii. I don't know where he was. But I was sort of beachside in Hawaii, did a, like a two-hour interview with Tree Living on my cell phone. I don't look at my long distance. So I just, I'm like, that's just, it costs what it costs.

And then hit submit on my manuscript and then just slept for two days. Congrats on your coma and your book. Well done. The book is called On the Clock behind the scenes with the Calgary Flames at the NHL draft. I think even hardcore fans, we say it all the time, you'd love to be in that room. You'd love to know what's being said. What's going on behind?

I think everybody would love to know to a certain extent what deals were close, what didn't happen, or how did this deal come together? How close was this deal to not happening whatsoever? and then how do these franchises, they would, their shape would be drastically different than, I just think for you, is that,

is that where it kind of, you dig that shit, right. Like this is, this is right in your wheelhouse. Oh, this was, this was a labor of love as much as a chore of putting a book together.

Oh yeah. And, you know, I think, you know, all of us are sort of fans of the game. And it's really fun, you know, even just, you know,

one of the, I have an entire chapter on, so why the hell of the flames take Trevor Kid instead of Marty Broder in 1990? Like, why, why, you know, no disrespect to Trevor Kid. Trevor Kid had a pretty good National Hockey League career. He just wasn't Marty Broder. He was disrespect to Marty Broder. That's what is why.

It wasn't disrespect to Trevor Kid. So, yeah, it was kind of fun. I talked to Cliff and Cliff is like, the jury's maybe still out on that trade, Pike. You know, you got to let these things play out. You got to, you got to touch your, trust your guys, right? I mean, if your guys say, Cliff, this Trevor Kid Kid, can't miss. Very good prospect, great, great numbers.

This Broder guy, maybe third best goalie in this draft class. As a thick accent. I don't know we can trust him. Yeah, I mean, I can't pronounce the name of the town he's from. So you know what? You got to take this Trevor Kid, good Manitoba boy. He'll be great. So taking Trevor Kid over Broder is slightly more egregious than signing Bill Horton to ELC when he's too old.

Hey, Horton. Yeah. Reasonable people can. disagree something like that yeah yeah yeah uh it had been one uh pike bomb on earth that if we get this book or like oh my god like we finally someone who shed light on this near trade like boom was alluding to or like oh my god there were one pick away from this guy sliding to them or on a weird event like that that you on earth a couple one was sort of more commonly known i think you know there's there's in 97 they took uh dan go chuk over surfe asapsonov yes because they wanted to center and yeah i get it

You won some centers. You got to build through centers. But the fun part of going through the Atlanta history was I found that through some bizarre circumstances, the flames got a fourth round pick in 1970, I don't say 75 from the New York Islanders because of it, because of transactions that happened in the American Basketball Association. Hmm. That's a pike bomb right there, by the way. Yeah, it's something.

Yeah. Yeah, it's the first and only time I believe in NHL history that a club received a draft pick as compensation for a trade. made in a different league and a different sport. Yeah, not the same. Yeah. Basketball would be a different. Shockingly, Islanders, GM, Bill Torrey was not pleased. And they complained to the league and they basically made it that you can't do that anymore.

Can Comrade or work something in with the surge here or the cavalry, maybe the stampede? I mean, you know, future considerations, right? Okay. I just took a look. Look at. Amazon. It's right there. Today. It's real. It's a real, real thing. On the clock, Calgary Flames behind the scenes with the Calgary Flames at the NHL draft forward by Peter Marr. Pizza Marr. What a beauty of that Peter Marr. Yeah. How about it? The best ever.

Just the nicest man. Yes. From seemingly surefire first rounders to surprising late selections and the ones that got away, this is a must read for Calgary faithful and hockey fans eager for a glimpse at how teams are built. Would you say Adam Fox got away, Dean? Would that be one you'd put a good one? Hey, they drafted him. He's in there. He's in there.

We got some Tim Erickson. He got some Adam Fox. Tim Erickson. Tim Erickson. You son of a bitch. You dirty bastard. Well, congrats, buddy. That's awesome.

Yeah. Now I get to, my favorite thing is promoting my work. That's right. Yes. you're such a self-promoter. Yeah. He's got a sandwich board. He's walking up and down through Mardaloupe all day.

Yeah. Throwing books at people asking for money. Pike's going to be at Greta on Saturday as well. So if you've got tickets, it's a chance to get one of his books as well and find out some more great flames history and tidbits via the book or conversation with Pike as well. Very nice. I'll be there until the second intermission at which point I need to rush home to write the recap. Right. That's a thing too.

Always working. Where is that? More writing. So before we let you go, let's, I mean, the deadline is gone. They lost last night. They've won some games here. You go back. Played well against Colorado. They beat Vegas.

There's the up and downs continue last night. I don't know what we were expecting, but it was certainly a letdown from where the previous two games were. I guess just thoughts on Wolf, the youth. This does not look like a playoff team. And what this offseason might look like. I mean, you know, I was looking, I was talking to the, the traveling reporter from the Washington Post last night

and we were joking about how much different both teams look from the teams that met in October and the flames have four defensemen that did not begin the regular season with the flames. So they basically swapped out two entire defensive pairings. That's rarely a recipe for success, especially if you started with the 60 that you wanted to start with. But it's, you know, they're,

I think they're working through some things. They're doing some auditioning. You know, we're, we've seen a good run of wool he got, you know, what, 10 periods in a row? He was very good for two games. And then for four, you know, he was based three shots in the first game. And then last game, he was, eh, you know, he wasn't the reason they lost, but he didn't really, he wasn't a difference maker in either direction.

He was present, which, you know, if his worst, if his worst quality is on his bad nights, he's just there, that's, that's okay. But I think, you know, the defensive zone plays is a work in progress. They're, you know, blessed. Schillington and Anderson, they're trying their best. They probably don't want to be, you probably shouldn't be your defensive zone go-to pairing. They're just,

they're ideally an ozone, like when they played together when they had all their guys, they were their ozone pairing. Like you stack them in the ozone and they can make stuff happen. But getting out of their own zone, especially if you lose that first face off, which they do more often than not, it's,

they're chasing the period a bit. And so, you know, this is kind of what they're going to, to be from here on out. I think for the remaining 14 games, they're going to be a team that tries real hard and has the puck a lot, but they're, you know, they're going to be really reliant on a handful of guys to be difference makers in the ozone. And if Coleman or Sharon Govich are just having adequate nights and they're not anything special, then you're hoping to

maybe grind out a 2-1 win. But more often than not, you might be grinding out of a 3-1 or 4-1 loss. So I mean, Talk to pick, talk to pick. Let's go. I mean, they're trying it in that direction, man. I mean, I think the big challenge for them is just, I would say this. I think having the period of time they do with the guys they have, like most of the guys they have right now,

pretty much everyone's under contract, you get a chance to see what you don't have. And so if your question is, oh, okay, can Sharon Govich be a regular center or should we go out and get somebody? That's helpful. If it's, okay, you know, we saw today, they sent down Jacob Pellier this morning because they simply have too many bodies right now and they have too many top nine bodies. In ideal world, you probably have Coronado and Peltier both playing in the top nine. They're not doing that right now.

So if you have an excess of wingers and, you know, maybe you figure out who doesn't fit into your plans, maybe you can swap someone this summer for a defense spin that can fill in a gap. They obviously have a gap on the blue line. So maybe they can do that. you know, they have, I think they're going to have, you know, low-key, I think it's going to be one of the more competitive training camps, assuming they're going to make some moves, but even if they don't make any moves, looking at the defensive group they have outside of maybe the top four, you know, I assume Schillington's back. I assume Mirmanov and Wiener and Anderson fill out the rest of the top four. Who the hell is in your third pairing? Who is three, six, seven? I don't know. And if you're, if you're a four, that might be a stretch too, right? Yeah.

But if you're, if you're someone on the Wranglers, if you're, you know, Salav Yov or Kuznetsoff or whoever, do you look at, you know, Poria?

Yeah, or Poria. Because Hanley's got a deal, right, since he came back. Which doesn't mean you can't, with, with Hanley,

he can go to the American hockey league, but it's, any of these guys, like none of these guys are on big ticket deals. Like even, even Miramano.

I mean, Miramana was making 1-2-5. I think the, the limit to bury in the AHL next year is 1-15. So, you know, if, if you think the guy that is playing in the Wranglers is an upgrade over your amount of, I don't think you're really going to shed a tear over burying him and having a hundred million, a thousand dollar cap penalty. Like, it's a, it's a quantity over quality situation.

And I think the quantity part of it's going to make it so that training camp is going to be just insane because I don't know outside of like the top three, I think are set. And after that, I have no idea who's on this blue line. And I think they probably haven't set their mind on it yet. I'll put you on the spot. Does Marshall get moved this summer? What's your got to tell you? Yes.

I'd be probably kind of shocked at he's here in October. Just because like what's, I think once you've gone there and once you, you know, it's like, you know, how many people have been in and on again, offering again a relationship? Once you try to break up with someone, if it doesn't stick,

it's just never the same. And I think, obviously, professional relationships are different. But once you're sort of in the mindset of maybe we can do without this guy, maybe, and once he's sort of gone through the mindset of what's life outside of Calvary like, I don't know if you can put that genie back in the bottle. Yeah, I'm kind of with you there. That's a pike bomb for you there. And it's, and does the player want to still be here too? I wonder. Well, that's part of it. You know what? You can move me. I'm ready to move on. I wonder. Cards and flowers.

Two years left and I'm how old and what are we looking at here? And who are the teams that want me? I think it'd be a very open-minded. Yeah. Honestly, maybe if you're a marshal, while you're recovering from your current injury, are you looking, does anything you're seeing without you in that with, you know, the dust and wolf flames of last week have basically been what you can probably expect him to have to work with next year or two, right?

Maybe they'll be, they'll make some moves. Obviously, they got $20 million in cap space. they have the ability to make some moves and fill in some gaps, but they might not be appreciably better than what we're seeing right now. That's fair. And so if you're Markstrom sitting there watching the last three games, four games, however many,

does anything you've seen really make you go, hot damn, this is a place I need to be, or does it really tilt it in the other direction? I'm going to hang some hardware here. I don't know. I don't know. Everyone's motivated by different things,

and I don't pretend to know what drives Jacob Markstrom. But if you're 34 and the clock is ticking on your career, and you're coming, he's going to get Vezna votes this year. So if you're in that part of your life, you're a part of your career and the sands are going to the hourglass, maybe it is time for him to make a run at it. People want to know, can they get this book signed on Saturday? At Greta.

Sure. I'll bring some Sharpie. There it is. Bam. It's a big dough, though. Yeah, what are you charged for an autograph out there, Pike? Is it a shot of pink, you know, you got to write that night. What the hell are we doing here?

That's a good question. I got to figure out. Great. Congrats, pal. That's awesome. I know that's, that's, I've told you this before. You, you're in a unique spot where you carved out your spot in the media

landscape in Calgary. You just definitely just stayed to me in private. I mean, you're saying these stuff publicly. You don't say nice things on here to people, Dean. What the hell's going on here? Totally broken character. Because there's, there's print and there's media,

the whole thing. But you just out of your passion for the team and the sport and out of, for what you do, you just kept. at it and working at it and getting better at it. And now you are, you're an author. So truly congratulations. Can I ask a question?

Out of all the media, who's the biggest dick? Oh, that's a good question. There's a lot. And do you think it's time for him to cut off the mullet? And is he seated directly next to you at this moment? I got to, I got to say

that. Like, this is basically just me blowing sunshine up. bombs, but this is a good market for just quality human beings working in media. Like, yeah, I'm going to count as Mike, Jack, this thing is over. I've worked in other beats. I covered Amazon to go over yet, buy the buck, folks. I've covered UFC. Boom!

I've gotten elbows thrown in my ribcage by other reporters in scrums. There's none of that here. You know, it's the lack of physical violence between reporters and scrums here is very, very nice. and something I'll always appreciate. It's a disappointing end of the interview. Lack of physical violence. Well, especially now that Jermaine Franklin moved away. That's son of a bitch.

I was going to say, Germain. So nasty. Awesome, man. Again, congratulations. The book, get it wherever you get books. Yeah. Right? Where books are sold.

Online, bookstores, swap meets, parking lots. Up room back there. Part of Saturday. Greta bar. Got some shelves, shelving up behind Rhett. get it up there behind the mayonnaise and Jack it might be time for your first book buddy I was going to say what sort of reading level do I need

for this book hey I've been told by people quote it's very readable which is wow it is it's full of words like the font is the right shape it doesn't there's legible pictures and occasionally we break up the blocks of text with the fancy graphics so there you go wow Ryan Pike folks congrats Piker we'll see you Saturday

Thanks, guys. Thanks, Tom. Wrote a book. Better than us. We can ask how much it weighs. Oh, it's a way. Anyway. Bring a scale on Saturday.

We'll ask them on Saturday how that's going. So there you go. The inside going in, going behind the curtain at the NHL draft. There is always something in there. The kid one is it's tough. Man, there was, it was a decade of tough. When you look at Rico Fada, Daniel Kachuk, Trevor, like there was just swing and miss after swing and miss after swing and miss.

It just they wanted to turn it around, but they were so bad at the draft. They were awful. Like awful. We're talking pick number five, six overall. They couldn't get players, never mind good players.

But you wonder in that scenario because they took a goalie with that pick, right? So they're addressing a goaltender need in that round with that pick. Was it like a coin flip between the two? Was Brodor not on their radar? Was it just, hey. They actually treated out, but we were never going to draft them. We hadn't really, or was it, look, this, the French kid.

We got to, we got to put some time in on this guy because he's real good because he was almost right off the jump. So do you remember the draft? Because they traded up with New Jersey to get their pick so that they could take kid. And then Jersey with Calgary's one, like it was all about kid. If they were, eh, it's close. You keep your spot. You don't trade up. Yeah, I guess.

They really liked kid, which is fine. I mean, like Pike said, he had a fine career. He just wasn't one of the top three net minders ever. I wrote a quick story while you guys were talking about the same topic. In the, is it, annals of hockey history? Calgary Flames have left an indelible mark, not only with their on-ice performance, but also through their keen eye for talent in the NHL draft.

From early successes to recent games, the Flames draft picks have played up. pivotal role in shaping the team's identity and success over the years. Blames drafting journey traces back to their roots in Atlanta where they made the first selection of the 72 NHL amateur draft with the seventh overall pick. Who'd they pick? A pike's gone, yeah. I don't have that.

He's gone? Oh, he's here, but they're smart. Chuck Richard. Yeah, he just whispered that. They knew that? My God, he's smart. You just got AI to read your book, you creep. However, it was after.

the franchise is relocation to Calgary, 1980, that their draft prowess truly began to shine. In the 81 NHL entry draft, the flame struck gold with the first round picked, selecting future Hall of Famer. Nelson? Lenny? No, Lenny was traded. Take the fenceman. Oh, Al McKinnis, baby.

Oh, McKinnon. It just fucking sucks. Oh, geez. I won't read my book. I wrote a book. You don't want to hear it. John Nundek, nice pick. High school hockey.

What do I just, no, keep going. I mean, you're, well, I'm done, you're a dick. We spent all that. What do we mean? We're just established. What did you do? What the hell did I do? You're mad if you're just sitting here having a coffee.

Peter doesn't have a button. I support Pike. I support you. Let's hear more. What's it called? Where do we got? Wherever books are sold? It's called the Anals of Time with the Calgary Flames.

Flames of talent is what it's called. A legacy, a draft picks. Huh? Eh? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I need a coffee. Shabbler! Good heavens. I'm sorry for Pike. I think we were trying to do good. What did we do to Pike?

We love Pike. We need more Pike unless you. I don't know that it was the promotional campaign. He was so. to run today, but... Well, you don't come here. You know what you're getting. You know what he was getting.

Good point, right? By Dean. I need to record my book. I will go on this show. Actually, we should go to the comments and see, is any of those... Can any of you people read? There's a couple people saying they bought the book already, so...

Yes. Whatever we did. We had the link in an old show or an afterburn or not long ago, because pre-sale's been going for a while. And you know who else will sign that book on Saturday night? those two fellows right there on either side of me. They'll be happy to sign that book. Yeah, if Dean's alive, he'll sign it, right, Dean?

Not sure why I would sign it. I'm not sure why I would do that. Poker tournaments and celebrity. Yeah, people can't get enough of me.

It's not been the year man Japan he has wanted. The offense is going the wrong way. And beyond that, his impact on the game is very minimal, where even before years ago, he was involved in the play and he was going to the net and he was disturbing things. He really feels like a peripheral piece. And we've talked about him a lot with all the wangers and everything else. But it really does feel like whistling by the graveyard. He is a free agent, not this summer the next.

So he is heading into his walk year. And for both the flames and Andrew Manjapan, and his agent and anyone else that's affiliated with Eddermanich Paddeny. It would be a really good time to buck the trend that you noted. The last two years have been a struggle. And he's doing it in a spot now where that's a really, really cushy spot in this lineup. When you're on the left of Backland and Coleman, yeah, you've got some defensive responsibilities, but you have two of the most complete players with you.

And it's a spot you'd love to see them grooming a pelche. Instead, it's a veteran who's not really even doing much there. I'm with you, Pender. Manjapani out, Peltje in. They said Peltje to the miners and watching this guy do nothing. It is trial. It is an audition right now. Let the kids play.

Yeah, and look, they've got too many wingers. It's heading into his walk year. It's something that they'll be talking about this summer. You will have to retain money. He's not worth five and a half. But Peltier's down. He's still there. still got a hunt you still got a walker doer you've got a j greer back to full health you've re-uped

kevin rune because menko's around sharon govich is probably still a winger like there's lots of bodies here it's so many bodies a lot of winners and none of those are giving you giving you a tickle nothing is like we got to you're from sharon govich we got a doer and we got like in all due respect but we got all these bodies like okay but what have you got you go through that list again and i don't include shangovitch in the the bucket yeah I'd like Coronado of late, but if you want to talk about top nine wing opportunities, there's just, it's all plugged. You've got Manjapani Coleman.

You've got. Plug with plugs too, by the way. Zarian Pospicel, who we've really liked. Yeah, but you kind of went through that list. It's Greer and Dewar. Yeah, there's a lot of just a filler, right? Yeah. And I am of the mind, like we talked about yesterday, Rhett, where if he's not, if he's going

to be your 13th Ford or you're going to be playing him with Rooney, maybe he is best served doing big minutes in a long playoff run theoretically for the for the Wranglers, but it's not been a banner year for Peltje, nor Manjapani is where we started. And it's not a lot different on the on the blue line. I know this was kind of a Magiomani thing, and we've talked about it. Well, I guess we'll continue to. But when you go to the old waiver wire and you bring these players in on trades and the Halls and the Hanleys, yeah, a ho-chicks.

Yeah, you're supposed to bring them in just in case you have a deep run. and someone gets hurt. That's right. Those are your black aces and now playing 23 minutes a night. Yeah, you don't want to get Brennan Evans, so you go get these guys. Oh, are you guys ravaged by injuries? No, we're perfectly healthy. Then what the age?

Oh, what's going? Damn. Sorry, guys. Okay, because we've not done any serious talk, let's have one serious conversation. Yeah. Peltche. Is it better for them to go down to the miners or is it better to put them where Mount Japan is?

If they were open to that, that's a better spot for him. I think you put them next to close to close. Coleman and Backland, but I don't think he's, he's necessarily earned that. I'm not saying he's earned it, but we're, because it's going for Wolf to have a tryout or a period of time to show. Belcher is the same kid. He's not had any time in the NHL to really prove himself one way or the other. Yeah. I get that he can go to the miners and get a bunch of ice time and maybe have a lot, that, and I'm not saying that's the worst. I'm just at this point in the, his development.

his development and where the flames are at as far as playoffs and non-playoffs, why are we fighting to keep Manjapani on that? Put Manjapani on the fourth line if you got to have it in the lineup. If they won last night, they would have been six points out. And I'm not on team. They're good enough to make it. But I think the coach is doing the lines the way he wants. I think if the GM was asked, he gave him truth to him.

He's with us, right? You'd have a kid getting groomed in that slot. Yeah, but at some point there has to be a co-agre cohesive. And I don't think they're, I think they do work together. I'm just curious what our thoughts are and putting Peltier into miners when there's a spot with Backland and Coleman, talk about Cushy and as good as you're going to get. Yeah. And again, I'm not, I'm not raising the red flag or light and torches and ready to, because Peltche's earned it. I'm saying, what the hell difference is.

We talked about it yesterday. And it was, do you send them down as a better play a bunch of minutes in the A or sit upstairs? but he's 23, played one full season in the American hockey league, split another season between the AHL and the NHL and then this year, it's I guess, yeah, it's always better to play

than not play. But play him. Yeah. And look, put him in the NHL roster would be what maybe there's, maybe he's still injured. They talk about him being scared or what I don't know. You're not going to gain that bravery. in the American Hockey League, where you've been for the last two years or two and a half years, I just, you can afford to have mistakes made right now.

Yeah. You can afford to lose games. It's not the, you're not living and dying by two points here. So I don't know, I'm not sure what we're seeing or why he would be going back down. I'd love to see him every of the last 10 games. I think probably this coaching staff still trying to weld their way in against logic and the odds at this point.

But last 10 games, you'd love to see him on that line, all of them, wouldn't you? And we saw, not that it was necessary, right? Not that it was necessarily chemistry, but it seems like there's kind of a relationship between he and Huberto. Play those buggers to play them together. Who cares? Yeah.

Play them. See if you. You know what it is to me? It's as big a deal because Mangapani is doing shit anyway. And he's taking a spot. You know what I mean? Like a kid. Yeah.

Yep. And Manjapani at this point right now, Manjapani looks like a guy that needs to be traded. and some guys just need to have that happen. It's, I'm not even, change of scenery. A change of scenery is probably a good thing for him. Isn't that what it looks like now? He's gone stale. It's okay. It happens.

It happens. And boy, we keep coming back to him. But I don't, Dryden Hunt, I've tried not to play in the fourth line. That's what he should do. Move Coronado here, put Peltier here. These are the guys that you've invested draft picks and capital in and that are probably going to be a part of your future if things work out.

I don't think it's going to be on the back of Dryden Hunt at 28 years old. 100%. Here's the wild card stand. This is what the coaching staff's looking at with their whiteboards in their offices today. Yeah, they're eight out. It's not close, but they also, it's not a zero either. I know that that point percentage is the proper way of looking at it because it gives you the scale of things. But at this point, we almost need the games played because it's, if you're eight out and you've only like, they ain't making it.

No, they're not making it anyway. It's, it's, it's, you know what, one in a hundred years, maybe something crazy like this happens, but it does not feel like this is. Go back to that again. So in 71 they've got? Their games played with Vegas, I believe, of the city. I'm just saying 95 is maybe the cutoff.

And so they have to win out of 14. They've got to get 24 points. So they have to win 12 out of 14. Yeah. No, I'm glad to a chance. Fat chance. Yes, indeed. In fact, I did something that was probably going to help you a little more. We turned the standings upside down to try to bring a little positivity.

So the top three are cut off out of the top. That is your San Jose Chicago, Anaheim. They're locked. Those buckets of slop. So good. It's just so good. Yeah, you know, that's just compare yourself to that. No, you can. That's an elite tier.

So we've separated that elite tier. Following that, Columbus, Ottawa, Arizona, Montreal. Now we get to the 500. teams jersey what are you doing here you idiots seattle pull up your socks pittsburgh i again on and off on and off and buffles on a heater fellas right now the flames would pick 12th if the draft was tonight and there was no moves in the lottery there is room here you look within three points jersey 11th 10th 9th 8th you're not going to get to the montreal number there feels hard yeah they've positioned themselves quite well jersey is still

achievable, that 25 slot there. If you could get to eight or nine, my God. Come on, no. Let's dream big. Come on, Dean, you can have good things happen to you in life, right? You can't. So then you got to look at the schedule. So like, okay, so you got Buffalo coming up. Yeah, that's a

on a back for that. It's a must lose, right? That's a must lose. And you got a hell of a game on Tuesday against Chicago. I mean, that's going to be a tough one to lose. Well, and the good news about that is the Hawks have had your number. They won four in the last five. But it's in Chicago. If there's any leadership on that team,

they're out boozing on Monday. Come on. Yeah, let's focus here, boys. Yeah, they're at the Viagra Triangle there. St. Louis is playing well. The Kings on Saturday. Oh, Kings are good, yeah. And then another four-pointer with the Ducks.

That's a tough one. But then the Ducks, son of a gun. Well, you can't lose them all. You know, if you could lose one to Chicago or the Ducks and the rest of them. But fellas, I have bad news about your April. It's crunch time.

What are you talking about? Listen to me. Just stop talking. Two against the ducks. Two against the sharks. One against the coyotes. I feel like at that point, though, you can throw a lot of trends

out the window because it's full comfort and feet up mode at that point. Right? Like, and those ducks and those other teams you mentioned, they've been doing this for a long time, so they know how to do it. They're going to play better than you. You're still figuring out how

the half asset. You're going to crash all the way down sometimes. Like, I don't mind it. Well, I like your enthusiasm. McKenzie, I need you in my office. We're giving you the last week of the season off. Damn it. You guys played so many minutes. God, you guys played a lot of minutes. So many minutes.

Our top pair is now Paul and Shillington. Go get them, boys. And actually, that's not, it's not about games. We don't look at it in terms of games, 82 or whatever. We look at it in minutes played. You've, you've now reached your quota. You just did it 12 games early. So, Enjoy April.

Still like you to be at the rink. You know, still want to have you around. But your attitude. Keep morale high. Yeah. Perfect. Do you like? You like popcorn?

We'll get you some popcorn. It's fun to sit in the stands and look at how many minutes you've played and then calculate how much money you get paid per minute of service. That's right. How much you think you'd make a one game eating popcorn, Rasmus? What do you think that'd be worth? I say try it. The NHL was out. it last night doing NHL things let's take a look at um I like the memes people are good with the

memes hey preventing salary caps or conventions straight rejecting a 25 year old gLC yeah this is the big problem stuff you're cracking now wait a minute here that is that is from the wind column that's a very funny follow on the socials good work fellows and our gals like that car yeah that thing's moving i you can hear it right dean like a drift car can't really tell what it is is though. Like the rims though. You do, eh? Yeah, it looks like I got it lowered. Get a low to the ground. Yeah, yeah. Big slate tonight. We'll get to it in a moment, but the Jets will be without a key piece of personnel head coach Rick Bonas.

It's away from the team due to a, quote, minor medical procedure. Corns. Scott Arneal will take over, serve as the interim until coach bonus returns. Just a heads up there. T's and peace, Rick. Tease and peace, Ricky. Get ready for the postseason. Seems good. Very good.

I said that to Ryan last night. I said, if you're a Flames fan, you're living in Calgary, you got to brace yourself. Because you got Winnipeg, you got Evanton, you got Vancouver. You just can't get away from it. I think of Toronto's a play. There's a lot of Canadian sweaters. They're going to get loud here. Yeah, sends.

Big slate tonight, Dean. Just tons of non-flames games here. I wouldn't even. Good for you, Ryan. I don't know. I lose track. Even trying to count. I got to touch it.

Yeah. You got a touch. Careful there. Slap chop. The feature ones will get to. It's an unlucky number even. Yeah. It's no good.

Look at the last one. That's some good stuff right there. No. We need to, listen, we got to change our focus. Oh, you want to go to the other end?

We got to change our focus here. Who do we need winning here? Oh, Penguin's devils. We need overtime. Extra time, please. Need overtime in Jersey. Ottawa get her going. You're lazy.

embarrassing stuff. Don't like that match up. St. Louis. Because what were we looking at? We were looking at the wild. The wild got to beat Anaheim. Wilder ahead, yeah. That's not a huge concern.

Buffalo in Vancouver. That's a big one. You got to have your boys ready in Vancouver. I'll text raise her right now. Get them the name of a real good. We need a tie. Oh, no, we don't. That's Vancouver.

They beat Seattle. It would have been okay if Seattle had got a point last name. Yeah. There's lots happening out there. Yeah. Yeah. Not sure the habs and oilers. Not sure. What was that 60?

See, I just think they're too far down. Seattle, Pittsburgh, yeah, those ones we, okay. Seattle, Pittsburgh, Buffalo. Those are the teams. Devils maybe. Yeah, let's go. Three point game in Jersey tonight. Lock it in.

Let's go. You saw the show quarterback on Netflix last year, do you know? I did. And what was your review as a Netflix critic? I enjoyed it. I enjoy that sort of thing. Yeah. That was because what did you have that?

You had Patrick Mahomes. You had Kirk Cousins and Marriota. Was it Marietta? Yeah. Well, I mean, if you liked quarterback, you're going to love receiver. Devante Adams, Justin Jefferson, George Kittle, Debo Samuel. Isn't Kittle, a tight end? He is.

Definitely a tight end, but. Yeah. A very good receiving tight end. And Amon Ross St. Brown, who's had a monster year with Detroit. Now, Jack, I keep seeing the comments. Is Justin Jefferson going to Pittsburgh? Has he gone to Pittsburgh? You're losing your mind over this possibility.

It's possible because it was a C-T-E-SPN reported it. Antonio Brown. Keeping her hopes up. So he's literally taking C-T-E-SPN verbatim as insiders now. They nailed the Wilson signing. They? Yeah, it's got all they nails it. A crack staff of reporters here.

And Chandler Jones and a dude hammered in his pool, tweeting his agent. Like, what do you think this is here? Let's. Don't shit talk your boss, pender. And in heaps, Dean, this is a halacious posterization. This is Anthony Edwards. Am I right here, Jack? Yeah.

Warren did not score. And only had one shot attempt in that first half. another turnover for utah edwards gets him back watch the angle where he leaked and how he scored this is ridiculous oh all right yeah the other guys yeah immediately look down maybe just retired what happens forehead after the dunk it's an end one

he heard his finger yeah so what's that worth hey man hey bugger off dude my hand Hell of a dunk. Speaking of hoops, we got our match March Madness tournament opening ready to go, Dean. There, there, let us. That's today. You've got playing games. Not today?

Well, the playing games. That's the little of the field from 68 to 64. Then the real bracket will be full, and we're ready to go. That starts on Thursday. So, Dean, I've sent you a link. Get your ass in the tournament. Because, again, this is a year. Get your ass to Mars.

I love. I love what I was. used to play. I used to run these things and cheat and win every year besides the play. But I'd love when guys would be like, I don't know anything about the teams. Oh, my yeah. Oh, dear. You haven't been researching all 64 teams, furiously?

I'm stunned to hear come back. Love or out of it. You don't know anything. Oh, you don't know the teams? You don't know about Robert Morris's point guard? What are you doing? You don't know in-depth detail of the 900 teams that are in

evolved in March. If you're not in love, how long is living here? Loser. So Jack has put in the link, throw it up on the screen for the folks. I've also tweeted it out today. That is our link to the Yahoo bracket.

The password is Goosh, which should be easy to remember. Okay, so how the fuck are we going to do that? What are people going to do with that link? Well, just listen to the sentence I said. It's right. No, you can click it in. If you're in the comments now,

you can go, otherwise I've tweeted it out there. And Flames Nation will retweet. And Dean, if you want to help, you could retreat as well or just join see none of the above would be the real dude move so you pick one after I bitch on you for not getting it ready and that's right yes yeah fuck I forgot about it sorry okay I did two yesterday it took me at least two minutes yeah two brackets I went with the pattern dean oh top top top bottom bottom top bottom top bottom top bottom top top bottom top bottom top bottom top bottom top bottom top top bottom top bottom top bottom top bottom top bottom top top bottom top bottom top bottom bottom. Sounds like a weekend at the Warner House.

Oh, ha. Oh, ho. Hey, hey, ha. Oh, ho. Whoa. Whoa. Pender report. Let's go. I had 41 Coors like. Yeah, you did. This is a retin the shoveler deciding what to do on date night. Speaking of the Tops and bottoms, here we go. Bottom bottom. Make dinner at home or an exclusive members-only club dinner. Oh, for this, Dean. How cute is this?

Members only, Dean. I'm so excited. Did I ever tell you that used to be my move? Your move? I can't say this on air. we're giving a try we're not on air oh yeah we're not on air run the internet for young people in the dating world when you want to maintain control but look romantic okay maintain control you got to have two envelopes date one or date you can do actually you can do 10 of them if you want sure yeah but and then you have a

card inside and then of course you let the person you're trying to to woo choose which envelope and then they open it and it's but what's inside is exactly what you want to do and it's the same thing in all the envelopes right yeah yeah yeah it's there's no choice you know exactly what's behind door number two rat we'll never know never know oh it's so fun I just don't know which one I'm going to get it's just he's always thinking of stuff to do it's they has oh wow the stancho's yeah so we we did the first one and I mean I had to put on this weird costume and stuff. And then there was duct tape and,

and booster cables. I can't wait to check out the next envelope. It was a little rough. I wasn't crazy about it. I'll be honest. It's just, he's so creative. It's fun.

It's fun. You never know. Booster cables again. I thought this feels like a lot like the last one. And he's got one of those three wheeled motorcycles that he takes you out on the date with. You know those weird ones with like two at the front one at the back that they tried to make popular but are really not cool?

Remember those, Dean? Two wheels? No? Yeah, I know. Let's just play the club. Dean's not paying attention. Messier. Yes.

Oh, Mark. Yeah, let go. I mean, you're really, how can you have any sympathy for this? Right from the start, this was poorly, poorly conceived. Yeah, yeah. Do it again?

I got, I'm only, interested in the start. No, back it up. Like right there. You're already bailing. Oh, oh, hey, no. And as he's falling, it pulls the throttle and he's on the brakes. Skateboards are just sitting there like, yeah, this old ass hat's a loser.

My hat came off, daddy. No one even moves. God-man head inside. Well, it wasn't his, first it was his shoe. If you go back, the shoe came off before the hat. That right there is a great place to stop when he's about. Oh, boom, shoot. Oh, hat.

Keys. Dignity. Checkmark. Oh. Lastimo. Jack labeled that Batmobile. That was a bombardier that made those, I believe. Someone was trying real hard, and Messier was the hawkman.

I don't know if it was the designer of the vehicles. fault. No, I think it was more the crowded attracted. Okay, so it's got two wheels in the front for safety and that and the handlebars. Now, how does it work in a skateboard part? It was not designed for that. A what? No, no, no, no. I'll figure it on. You ever been to the circus, Dean? He loves circus. He's a big circus freak.

He loves the big chapies. They're shooting a guy out of Canon. Love this stuff. It's so good. Whoa! There we go! Yes. Who moved it? Who's on canon aiming? Red.

So where is the net? You see it right there. A little wide right. He shanked it. Scott Norwood. Cannon guy. Dean Christie. We've been working at this for a year.

Oh. Okay. Maybe the joke's on us and it's like, oh my God. But there was actually pads over there. He's okay. It was a phone pit and we all thought he'd done. Yeah. Why are we laughing anyway?

Or he's dead. If you want to go to a good circus show, you go to the one in Vegas. It's awesome. Absent. Absent is hilarious. Yeah, supposed to be awesome. Now, Dean's great fear is snakes in the toilets.

That one at the chicken ranch. That one's completely different. The circus show at the chicken ranch, there's fountains and all kinds of things. You could use Boomer's name as a promo code there for half off. Yeah. You can check it on the line and then delete your browser history. For sure.

especially if you're at work. Chicken with the old sunglasses, brouser. Dean doesn't like snakes and toilets, but I keep telling him, it's not a thing. It's not a thing. Well, okay, maybe it is a thing. Hey, what are you doing? That is a huge snake. Look at this.

Look at it, Dean. Get out of there. Don't forget to brush your teeth before you go to bed, eh? Come on in here. Look at the size of that thing. They're so disgusting. you got to throw a blanket on that thing and run. You can't hang in the room.

That is not going to end well. This one's called eggs. Okay, I'll be. Guess we were wrong. Didn't we talk about this the other day? Talk about what? How many eggs you could eat in a day or eat your weight or your age and eggs? Yeah, that was a question on the great clips inbox on Friday.

could you eat your age and eggs in a day? You can cook them, prepare them wherever you want, or don't prepare them, D. And what was the, what did the men doing the show suggest? Well, Rhett and I thought we might be in a bit of trouble, but Jack would be able to do it. I think you could do it. My point was I feel at some point,

there's something in those eggs that's going to become toxic, toxic at a certain point. Toxic chickens. There has to be something. I'm trying to think, Because if you got up, because it's going to take a full day. Yeah, we were talking about maybe like a big, big pan scrambler at like 3, 4 a.m. Because I feel like you're going to scrambled, you're losing a lot of eggs.

Some of it's getting stuck to the pan. Some of it's just, you know, I think that scrambled eggs is. What the f is scrambled your eggs? Like, what are you a rookie? You could, listen, you could do three fried eggs or three scrambled eggs. Scramble these, they break down. You know it. So are you saying that's a good thing?

Or what do you mean? I'm saying if you're trying to get through the most eggs, scrambling them would be the way to go. But you can't be doing a scrambler and you're putting sausage. No, no, you can't mix anything. Makes more delicious, but you got a whole bunch of friggin eggs to get through. I don't know if I could do that many. Like, that is a, that's a heavy load.

Guys, we just saw how you do it. That's a good point. took him two seconds. Kuzmiko played 1753 last night. Don't change the topic, Dean. Stay with me here. What do you think about Kuzmiko, right? I think he guzzled about 40 eggs.

What do you think, Dean? Four minutes, eight seconds on the power play. Not a sniff, not a shot. Disappointing. Finally, we found our guy on Instagram. Matt, not Mike. I was way off. And this is the crocodile guy in the Northern Territory.

See in the Northern Territory, Dean. So he's got a bit of an issue here. One of his rescue crocodiles having a little run-in with one of the locals. I don't know. We've got two crocs fighting up here. What's going on here? Wait, you two? The hell's going on here.

Wait. Come on. Get out of it. Go on. Get out of it. Get out of it. Get out. Go on.

Go on. Go on. Get out of it. A load struck there. Get out. Go. Go. Oh.

Oh. Cromed all. Fashing up another poor little crocodile. We'll just kick him out away. Go on. Get out of all. Here, you calm down there, would you? Go on.

Get out of here. That naughty crocodile. Go on. Get out. Get out. Oh, you see him there. Get out. Get out.

All right, let's go see how that other little crocs going. Bulley yours? Let's head down under. I'm ready. Yes, absolutely. Tell you, oh, yo, yo, yo, yo, what? Just stay. Stay down there.

We'll see you in the Northern Territory. Yeah. That's your Pender Report today. Village Honda has a huge selection of used vehicles. They have all makes, all models, all budgets, over 90 units on site. Access to more than 500 more inside the dealership group. why Village Honda is and should be your one stop automotive destination in Calgary. They're worth the trip. Village Honda located in the Northwest Automall.

We need to have a fear factor event. Oh, Dean's in for sure. Does that seem like something we're all equipped for? I know, but this is why it's therapeutic for you someone to know and to overcome their fears. So we've got to establish a way to do that. Once a year, you pick one fear you got to overcome. And we're going to have like listeners and people,

a bunch of people come and join us. And everyone's going to fight their fears. We'll get Tony Robbins in. He'll talk us through it. We'll be good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I think there's a difference between someone say, I, you know, I just get so nervous in public speaking to go out and practice

and then, you know, speak in front of a large group. Or maybe get bitten the ass by an alligator. A crocodile, yeah. Whatever. It's not, I mean, we're talking with two different things. I don't know. we're going to teach you how to avoid the bite and enjoy like Matt or Mike or whatever the this guy whose name was learn how to get out there.

Hey, crock, get out of here. Yeah. Well, to this point, have not been bitten by a crock. Smack him on the snout. Well, you get the spider issue, you got your snake issue, you got your rat issue, you're afraid of sharks. We've got to address at least one of these in 2024 before the year's time. Worst case scenario with any of the above is there's a great YouTube clip to come from

and you're going to be famous. I'm already famous. Nope. I'm as famous as I need to be. You can be famous, sir. Listen, I know, listen, I know you love Joe Rogan, but we can't do everything that Joe Rogan. Maybe Joe would come.

Maybe Joe would come. Maybe Joe would come. Yeah, Joe for sure. I'm sure there's no real retainer appearance fee for him. It's coming to Greta on Saturday? He'd love this to be part of things. He's a social animal. He is very social.

Brumber de Blonde. Just another reason to be there Saturday. The boys at origin are just crushing it, hey? Big time, my God. They had one of their busiest days ever. It was Sunday, St. Patrick's Day. St. Patrick's Day. Monster.

I think we said last week. I wouldn't know. I wasn't invited. If you could, you know, email, they had the, you know, talk to the manager. Because the place, there's a good chance that could be quite full. Yeah. Yeah. Kind of.

Quite full. Huge. They had a banger of a St. Paddy's Day. And if you've not been to the tap room, it's right. It's, it's,

I just got, babe, I just got to stop here in Strathmore. I just got to pick something up. It's right off the highway. Everything is in Strathmore. It's right there. It's right there.

It's coming. You're going to need your boat. Pick it up from the boat place. It's right there. That's where your, yeah, is it still there, right?

Your boat. Um, free plug. Is that what it was? The place where I parked my boat. Now the Hilton's are a fifth, you know, fifth generation family farm. We've gotten to know them here over the last, what year? Year and change.

These are some of the finest humans that you're going to, you're going to find in the world. And they are brewing some of the best beer in the world that you're going to have. They have, it's the barley. They keep the very best barley for the malting process. And then the very best malt, keep for themselves and then brew origin beer.

Homegrown lager, the Mexican lager, Pioneer IPA, the Lazy Days, Haysi, the Haysie IPA, Rockyford Raspberry. And we're quite fond of the Barn Burner Blonde. No, baby, we got our own beer. You knew that. I didn't need to tell you that. You knew that.

The Barn burner blonde with origin malting and brewing, you can grab it. I'm guessing it's on the taps in there. You can just go and just put you on. Oh, hell, yeah. It's a tapper. just go right underneath it. Or you can grab the cans of it.

It's located. We'll give the list of spots where you can grab your four packs of Barnburner Blonde. Or go into the tap room there in Strathmore, 60 Spruce Park Drive. But yeah, they decided, why don't we do a thing for St. Patty's Day? I know it's on Sunday. Maybe we're not usually kicking the doors open and going all out on a Sunday. But they said, no, we're going to do it. Here we go.

All right. So this is from Mark and the Gang at Origin. Shout out to these five. fabulous women of origin malty and brewing. St. Pat's is one of the busiest days in our history. Alicia, Crystal, Sam, Ashland, and Haven saved the day. Nice. Good work. Ladies.

Sit down, have some nachos retro, maybe some buffalo chicken dip. It's as though they consulted you for the, I was looking at the menu,

Because you already have one here full of shit. Yeah. No, exactly. Because I think that's what it was because I was back and I noticed all the shit that was in that house. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I returned to Buffalo thinking, well, we have never really lived here. We would have that. Need some stuff.

Yeah. I got a lot stuff. Cumulate some things in a couple years, eh? Yeah. Some dude with a couple of containers, those steel containers is going to make a fortune off you in Buffalo.

were young and we were still kind of renewing the house we're in so there's one of those big bins not the little short stubby bastards the big long full-sized bin long bin i've filled that effort And with stuff and nobody ever noticed the damn thing was gone. I know. A whole bin. Well, what's the rule of thumb they say? If it's been a year since you've used it, you don't need it. Yeah.

are awful. Awful, awful, awful. Yeah. Their spirit is broken. Now, Detroit has been, they've been, you know, scuffling here.

They got to get their ass together, Dean, they got passed by Washington last night. They got a, the time is now. So I think that this is a get right spot for Detroit. They are at home.

Minus one and a half. I think this is going to be a runaway. Columbus lost to Winnipeg 6-1 the other night. Jets, put hang a licking, so to the wings, plus 125 for a Detroit minus 1.5. And much the same thought here. Now this is a big one, but I don't think it matters. Nashville is on an, one of the hottest teams in the NHL right now.

I think it's Colorado and the Nashville. Heater, heater, heater. And San Jose's, stretch. They're on the road in Nashville. Give me the Predators minus two and a half. Bloodbath plus one. Oh, man. Sharks Florida last night at Tootsies.

They're in trouble. All right. I like two games on this schedule. It's not out of 13. There's two really juicy matchups with good teams. Tampa's in Vegas. Vegas's been scuffling lately. Tampa's feeling the heat in that wild card race in the East too, Dino.

Detroit's there and Washington's there. The Islanders are lurking. I'll take a Tampa, a Tampa win here, the money line, plus 115. I also like Winnipeg. There with other coach, heavy hearts.

They're going to play the tails off. Coach bonus as they visit the Rangers. either of these teams win tonight, I'm up. Love it. Let's go. If either of these teams win. They're plus money. So, oh, I said, plus money, bets. I thought you meant Winnipeg and the Rangers.

No, no, it would be either of my bets. Got it. One of those two and I'm up. Because I was wondering if you had Winnipeg and then the Rangers won how you'd be up. I was. Yeah, that'd be a tough one. If you have the Winnipeg money line and the Rangers win, you're not going to win that bet. Get that free bet.

Right at the door. Hot ready. Making lemonade out of the lemons there. It's all the popcorn. All the popcorn. You've been distraught. Instead of ruin your day. I don't know what kind of household this shovel is running here.

Not another colonel in the home. Really? That's a tough spot. That is a tough spot. been there and I mean we do the cooking in our household for the most part when we're used to cook it's okay well I don't have that okay we're going to pivot what else we got we got chicken stod or it's be or whatever you're going to be able to pivot when you go to make popcorn and there's no you're effed yes I don't know now now what am I doing I'm not what else what else can you pop

you have you have pop and anything else you got to do a complete shift and it's hard sometimes and a lot, you just kind of, screw it, I guess. There's just no snacks tonight. Almond's in there, they're not popping. There's only one thing that pops in those. Butters melted. I'll drink the butter, but I'm not. Yeah, shots of butter. How much butter could you drink?

Oh, God. How many pounds of butter could you eat? Eat like the raw butter? It's hard. It's so tough. You're allowed to cook with it and make cookies and things. You have to just go straight up butter. Come on, Ryan. Straight up. Get up your balls and give them a twist.

Let's go. It's dumb money. Eric Bolton did it. He got through a pound. A full pound of butter. One sitting. Texture. What would you,

do you want it almost kind of frozen? So it's hard and crunchy. So it's kind of like you're eating something. Because if it's smushy, it's, that kind of problem is it? It's not. What's the best texture for you to eat a pound of butter? I've yet to consume butter on that.

Bullshit. Come on. What did Bolton do? We're all together here. It's all right. Just sticks. Brick, here you go. Quicker you eat it, Dean.

the harder it is. It's softening up. You don't want that. Preferably melted would be the way to do. Or would it be the best to drink it? Oh, for sure. Flavor and home at it. Absolutely.

Well, so talk it through, Pender. No, I just mean like, are we shaving a week off your life by, if you like, let's be. Butter. You're stuck. I'm asking questions. I don't know. I'm asking. Diet bullshit. That's butter. It's good for you.

I'm asking. It's good for. Drink some butter. Medical. You're dodging. You're being a, you're being a dodger. I think you could, yeah, have you get that up to a nice temperature of a soup and just maybe a little cooler than a soup? Like gravy temp, send it down. In a cup or a bowl? What are we?

Whatever you like chugging out of. Get it done. I mean, preferably, I don't want it alone. I'd like to dip something in it. Oh, crab legs. Bread, a sourdough. Maybe a dry. How good are crab legs?

Oh, lobster. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Lobster. There you go. That's how we do. it. Door. Oh.

Yeah, it's not a problem. I got stone crab claws. Just down. Like Ontario? Like what? In the desk? In the drawer? On the floor?

That's, it's just. Oh. So what's up for the rest of the day? It's shit here. We're waiting for it. Tomorrow's the day here that everything gets turned upside down. Yeah, DUG is supposed to be driving across. You should be moving today.

You talk to that guy. Is it weird when old people, say they can't leave a day early because they're busy. Because you know they're not busy. I know 100% what busy means. He's got to have coffee with his buddies. I got three kids in hockey and school and sports and activities. I've experienced this busy phenomenon.

I know that busy is not what's happening at my folks house. Snowfall totals this weekend could exceed 30 centimeters across four. days for parts of southwest Alberta with the majority of that snow falling on Thursday. Major travel impacts are possible across parts of the province. Plan ahead for disruptions. Definitely keep your plans because that's, you're so busy, you don't want to adjust them. Periods of snow will begin developing Tuesday evening. Snowfall will continue making its way south on Wednesday.

Sharp temperature drop from cold air, polar vortex. Is that fucking polar vortex? My kid was worried. I told him there. Yeah. Did the alpha thing again. That's drinking all that butter. No, my screen froze.

We can tell. You're having a seizure. That's it for me. Go ahead. Enjoy your butter and grab legs. I hope you get there, Doug. Bring on the butter. See you, buddies.
