This is a visual podcast. We are on YouTube, always, through the Flames Nation account. You can find it, so you just look for Barnburner. You're going to find it there. But it's also an audio podcast. Maybe you've just downloaded the audio for a road trip. Maybe you're in the kitchen. You're cutting the grass.

Whatever it is. It's just nice to have something. We're keeping your company. If you are only listening today and not using our YouTube feed, you're missing a good chunk of what today's show I feel is going to be about. There's Rhett Warner. I am in my usual spot here as we are in the Tower Chrysler Studios. Tower Chrysler Consumer Choice Award winner voted Calgary's favorite Chrysler Dodge dealer.

10-901 McLeod Trail South, go see Surge, and Chris and Aaron and the great people. people there. They will treat you right. When we were there last week, we were like, man, I understand some dealerships are having a hell of a time getting cars, keeping cars, not tower. So if you're looking for a vehicle, new, used, whatever it is, they are jammed and ready to help you today. Also here in the studio today is someone that looks like a drowned rat, dead and forgot to lie down. Ryan Pinder. Good morning. In a Blue Jays,

Hawaiian shirt of some sort, there's logos. I thought it was. A Hawaiian or a beer drinking? There's beers on it. Canada Day. It's an Excel. It's too big. Yeah.

Anyway, you were last to the party here this morning. This is as late as I've come to work in a while. I was at the point, I was running late myself. I was almost thinking I might just go from home today because by the time I drive in and then get set up. No, I'm going in. So I got here and poor Jack is sitting by himself in the corner of the room. You live about two minutes from here.

So I was a little surprised that you weren't here. I didn't know I hadn't texted you to find out what your deal was. They were retro. But what's the deal? Yeah, well, you know, sometimes you go for a game of darts and bonus and you wake up on the couch at nine in the morning. Do you? Is that a thing?

not it's not ever that i've never had that virus has never got me yeah i've never had to deal with that yeah yeah 180 in boness of all places yeah why boness i got a buddy there you finish day in the deck we had to celebrate so you know so it wasn't that's quite an accomplice right if that's it depends on where you set the bar dean yeah if that's the kind of kind of an event a momentous occasion that'll have you out all night. The world is your oyster. Depends on where you set the bar. Yeah.

So we went hunting for karaoke. Wait a second. You were part of the deck building? No, no. We just were there to help celebrate. It was a coronation. Okay. And what color did we go with? It's just stain. It was a stain. Beautiful.

Beautiful stain. One coat, two coats. Looks like a couple coats still a little tacky. No, don't walk. We're going to go around the other door. Are you supposed to do two coats of stain? I don't think you do. Because once you've laid that one down, I think its job is to absorb it. Yeah, you're not supposed to take on anymore.

Two coats is good. I'm not a painter, you know. Yeah, I don't think I've got to do two coats. But either way. So you didn't help. No. With the application, you just kind of showed up. I helped with emptying his beer fridge in his garage.

So is this person a complete degenerate loser or are you? Well, most of us, we run in the same pack. So there's. Clearly another fellow. that doesn't work or there was like four or five of us we went and drank beers and looked at the river after a bit and then uh ended up trying to close down a karaoke joint that was empty for an thorzy for sure yeah so how did you get there how did you get is there a vehicle that needs to be picked up today one of the guys was good enough to drive and then he keys plays home and then uh two

of us ubered down for some idiotic decisions late at night you're good at that yeah i am good at We're extending it, right? I can't say no, I can't stop. It was, yeah, when it, you're good. If the bars didn't close and stop serving, I would just stay and fight through. Yeah, I would, I've got energy. It's a problem. The, uh, it's all over.

Now, let's go downtown now. Yes. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. But it's 1.30. Well, we can get there for one.

It'll be worth it. He said to me the other day that he can, Ryan says he is in case. incapable of going home before the lights come on. It's almost impossible. Because of his energy levels, he can't do it. He's always show. Yeah.

Oh, we're close. All right. It's close. I guess we've got to find a ride. It's got it don't air and go. Yeah. You clearly medicate.

It's just the wrong medication. No, that is the right stuff last night. You need some serious medication for sure. but we'll talk about it maybe off here. I'm open to ideas. I'm sure. Yeah. Jack says, and it's not even Stampede. Like Stampede was last week.

I'm like, hey. It was a Wednesday. Any given Wednesday. You just, you never know. We got some stuff to get through today. And I found, I was talking about yesterday. I found some stuff. We'll share it with the, with the group coming up.

Also, it's not really a this day in flames history. It started as a this day in history, and then I went down the rabbit hole. You know how I kind of get with the entry drafts. Yeah, I know. You wouldn't read it was at a draft and look at the guys taking. Yeah, I got, I fell down the old rabbit hole on, on the old hockey DB elite. July 20th, I am fascinated where this will go. Yeah.

So that's coming up in a little bit. Okay. But very happy. We're going to have a guest join us here in just a matter of moment. inspiring story. He'll join us here. Let's take a look at who is coming up. Is it Connie?

Shut up. Very pleased to be joined by Ryan Strashnitsky, who, you know what? I was going to say, I'm not a creep, Ryan, but I was just kind of online yesterday. I noticed you were also out at Stampede. We won't share those photos. We won't get into any of that. But you were also part of... Is there a video for that?

No, we won't. I wouldn't do it to him. I wouldn't do it to him. Stampede was good to you, though, was it? Oh, yeah, it was awesome. Just finally getting the chance to somewhat relax and hang out with friends. It was fun. Well, it's good to talk to you, man.

We haven't seen you for a long time. I guess there's a lot to get into. We want to talk about the golf tournament. We'll start there and we'll finish there. It's the launch charity golf tournament coming up in August, August 27th. And I guess, tell us a little bit because there's kind of two parts of this. There's the pre and the golf itself and then the post. I guess that's three parts, but it starts at launch pad, Heritage Point.

Walk us through what's coming up on the 27th of August. So, yeah, we're having this charity golf tournament. And essentially what we're doing is trying to raise funds for adaptive sports equipment to provide to those also looking to get into adaptive sports because it can be quite inaccessible and quite expensive for some families. So that's what we're trying to do is try to mitigate those costs. And then by doing that, we want to have this golf tournament to show off this new pair of golfer that I have. It allows me to stand up and play golf.

So we're introducing this into the tournament. What we're trying to add some teams, add some numbers, get some sponsors. And then on top of that, we're going to have Paralympians and Olympians at the event as well to help them sort of meet and greet and create a platform for themselves as well. So in this case, everyone wins. And at the same time, we're raising awareness for adaptive sports equipment as well. So again, now I guess give us the website and then I want to talk about the foundation, but the website to go and register, as you mentioned, there's foursomes available, twosums

and still some sponsorship opportunities as well. Yeah, lots of spots open and sponsorship opportunities, but the website is strassstrongfoundation.com. It's STRA-Z StrongFoundation.com slash launch. There you go. So we were, I was at the, it was the Brian Burke event last week. The targets for kids are ski shooting and Cedar Strand was there. We got to get him to stop.

He's wearing tight shirts, hey? I just, could you, could you not do that? Hey, you got it. You got a flunit. If you could not do that. So I assume Cedar Strand will be part of it. But looking, yeah, looking forward to that. That's awesome.

I mean, it's great that you're doing that. Let's talk about this adaptive golf cart. I know there's different kinds. And admittedly, once we knew you were coming on, I kind of looked into it. There's different. There's like the cart itself, like what we would. And then the driver's seat kind of moves or whatever. That thing that you've got there, that thing's unbelievable.

Tell us a little bit about how that thing works for you. Yeah, so this machine is essentially like a golf cart that instead of having that seat swing out to the side, it essentially just has a device on it that allows me to stand up in different settings. So if I want my knees bent a little bit more for different shots or I want to be upright completely, it allows me to do that. And actually that machine was an old machine that I actually rented from Copper Point out in Invermere. But recently I just bought a new machine from Germany because that's where they manufacture. it and obviously it wasn't wasn't the cheapest thing but now that we have it at heritage point

it's going to be there year round and it's an even better model like it just moves well it's smooth it's balanced it's you know it just allows me to play golf regularly and like play with friends now now now of course you've been in the sled with the uh the pair of men's hockey did that did that kind of give you a bit of a head start your hockey background or is it still just kind of learning a new thing all together definitely i think uh the hockey sense carried over like no one where to be how to play the game, but you know, when your mind thinks faster than your body moves, and that's exactly the sort of situation I was in. I'm like, okay, I've got to learn how to skate and how to use my left hand and while doing that, learn to get hit as well. So it was a

complete 180, but I know, I think that hockey sense helped me out a lot. You still have those guys. It's like, hey, Ryan, you've got to keep your head down. Now you're moving, get your hands. You're not, you're turn your wrists. You can turn your wrists over. Because you're using just, you're using the one arm. I think that's, that's just less to less shit to get in the road, right? It's just one arm, follow through, back in the cart, and away we go. Yeah, exactly.

How's the puttick? How's that going? Not too bad. I mean, obviously, could use some work, but, you know, just practicing every time. Is this machine going to shave off some buggies? Like, what are we talking here? The gulf's infuriating.

You're actually going to try to do more of the thing? It feels like you're cheating, to be honest, yeah. Yeah, I mean, there are some rules with Paragulf that I didn't know. like if you're actually competing, if it lands in a certain bunker, you actually just get a drop ball in certain bunkers. Yeah, so I'm like,

all right, there's, that's bullshit. And then if I think there's another one where if you line up incorrectly a little bit, you can move the ball six inches in any direction, so that aligns up just perfectly. So I'm like, all right,

that could save my ass. So, um, yeah, I'm excited. That's an, that piece of equipment specifically, that's got to be just such a,

an amazing, I just think of, it's to be out on the golf course, it's just so, it's freeing, and so many people are so passionate about it. Different than the parahockey, I think, in a way where any age group, what was, what was it like the first time you got into that thing and you realize that this, yeah, this is possible. This thing is kind of a miracle in a way. Exactly what you said, right? It's freeing. You're out there, you know, there's not, you're not, you know, under a score clock and there's

not, you know, you're not trying to beat the other opponent. You're just out there with yourself and just trying to get better at this sport. There's no pressure. You're just out there having fun. And, you know, I thought, the first time I thought, well, how far can I take this? You know, maybe it can actually make this into a bigger sport or get more of these machines so that more people can play. And I'm fortunate enough that it's actually at Launchpad or sorry, at Heritage Point

year round now. And it can be used at Launchpad as well. So, you know, now that is there full time, I think people can use it, get an understanding, get a perspective and then maybe help raise funds to get more. Yeah, that's very cool. Now, is there cooler? You got a cooler in there, a little, you can, oh, yeah, got room to be hanging out on the back, maybe.

Yeah, there's actually space you can always fit a couple of days. Which sport are you enjoying more? Do you like the competitors, the hockey, or the calmness of the golf? That's tough. Nice mix. Yeah, it's so, so evenly balanced. Like hockey takes up the winter, right? And you're there all the time.

But in the summer, when you just want to relax and get away from the season, I mean, they both have their pros and cons. But still hockey is a huge part of my life. So I got to go with hockey. I was just going to say, I can't, I don't have the patience for golf. I'm just, no. Although there's enough people in your life, you'd like to get away from them, too, right? You've got kids and wife and all that sort of stuff.

I'm going golf and I'm getting the hell out of here. Let's talk about the about hockey. Now you're up with Team Alberta with the para ice hockey. there's this Paralympics coming up something like Italy or something in 2026. Is this kind of on the radar a little bit?

Yeah, I mean, I'd love to compete for a spot. I mean, I'm playing at the provincial level now and go to a bunch of camps with Team Canada's development roster, which is like the black aces and whatnot. So, you know, hoping, you know, every September they have trouts just to get that invite and just make a push to get a roster spot. It's a tight family there.

And obviously there's, you know, one or two spots every year. So, you know, I'm just hoping for the, the best putting in the work and, you know, hoping to get that invite. It's an amazing skill, right? And you would appreciate that. You get into the sled and you, there's obviously similarities, but it's a completely different sport than, you know, than the one that you used to play.

How long did it take you to kind of get over maybe a bit of a hump and see that, yeah, I want to play this, but I'm going to be able to be good at this. Yeah, I mean, I think I got on the ice four months. after the accident and you know thanks to Chris Cedar Sharon he actually got me out there and you know I thought okay well this is difficult right and I'm just going to keep you know working away plugging away see how good I can get and then you know as I continue to get better and worked on the sort of finer skills of the game it was like okay maybe I have a chance to actually play for team Canada so ever since that switch sort of flipped I've been you know grinding in the gym

just on the ice and working on those skills consistently and just training with the top talent We have a few national team guys out here in Calgary who I train with. And, you know, them being able to push me and vice versa, I think, is allowing me to grow and understand the game. And, you know, I have a lot, you know, weighing on this personally to try and make this Paralympic team. But, you know, at the end of the day, I think, you know, even if I don't make it, I know that I put in the work, I learned a lot and I can incorporate what I learned

into future endeavors. To walk us through a regular week because, I mean, I don't know what you're, if you're on the ice and oh hockey is kind of a year-round thing, But you've got the para hockey and you're out doing speaking engagements. I want to talk about the foundation. But then there's the physio and the therapy part of your recovery and all of that. What's getting the balance of your time right now? So on a busy day, I'll get up pretty early hit to physio for about 8.30 on the other side of Calgary.

Like I'm in Erdry right now. So I've got to drive down by Chinook Mall, which takes up the majority of the morning. And, you know, if you do physio for about an hour and head to win sport for about an hour and a half to two hours of training after. and then either I'm on the ice or, you know, doing something working or traveling or something like that. And that pretty much takes up my whole day until about 5 o'clock. And then I try and sort of relax, reset and just, you know, get away from technology for a little bit and just, you know, unwind and then get prep for the next day. So I go to physio about twice a week and then, you know, in the gym, you know, three days a week on the ice four or five days a week. It's a full-time job, right?

That's beyond a full-time job. There's a cat right there. That's a lot. How is the recovery? I know there's making gains here and there. I saw the one where you got the yoga ball going back and forth. It's amazing, man. It's good.

It's a long process. I mean, the spinal cord is such an undiscovered and unknown thing of the body that people don't quite understand. And when that gets injured, it's up to the body to heal. And it could be the longest recovery journey of your life. And I think even if you do fully recover,

you're not fully recovered. So for me, I'm just grinding away at, you know, working on stepping using that epidural stimulation device I got in Thailand back in 2019 and trying to move those muscles below my injuries so that, you know, if I do have the chance to recover, that I'm going to have a more successful rate than if I didn't have this surgery. So it's a grind, but I'm just going to continue using the stem and just trying to keep the legs healthy. So tell us about that surgery, what was entailed in it and why do you have to go to

such great distances to go get the surgery. Walk us through that. So the surgery itself is obviously an epidural stimulation device, but it goes in the T10 vertebrae. It's got a bunch of electrodes and it's attached to a battery pack on the side of my hip. And essentially what this does is central electrical currents over the break of my back. And in doing so, it allows me to move muscles below the injury. And the reason I could go to Thailand was because they were certified out there for spinal cord injuries.

So Canada actually has the device. but it's used for chronic pain and not spinal injuries. And obviously something like this wouldn't get approved for me to get here in Canada. So I had to go all the way to Thailand to get it done. And once I got it done, it was about a month and a half process of living out there, using it four hours a day, mapping, you know, walking, doing all these things just to get it going and ingrained in my system so that when I went back home, that I could do it by myself with the remote that they gave me.

So it was a huge learning curve, and I'm really fortunate that I had it done. With, I'm not techie at all, but I like, with AI, are there expectations that there's going to be huge gains made? I mean, everyone's talking about AI and it's going to change the world. And is the expectation that's going to change in your world too? Maybe. I mean, I'm always staying hopeful and I'm open to try new things. I think I know there was this like neurolink coming out with Elon Musk's group and whatnot. I don't know the, you know, where that could go, where that could lead.

But, you know, I'm excited. And I'm open to try new things. I mean, you know, like I said, I mean, where I'm at right now is healthy. But again, if I can use anything to sort of get better and get closer to walking, I'm absolutely going to take that opportunity. So you've got the para hockey, we're golf. There's actually a message just came in from, I think that's from Nick or somebody. I saw wheelchair rugby is also a, that's a different animal all in itself.

How many different disciplines and things are you trying out right? now and I guess maybe that rugby you can tell us a bit about that. I'm trying everything. Like, yeah, about a month ago, I did wheelchair rugby for the first time. And I wasn't sure what to expect. And then I remember just doing a scrimmage or whatever. And I got a ball. And I was like, you know, just gunning it, right?

Trying to get a try or whatever you call it. And all of a sudden, someone came in and just clocked me, like wheelchair to wheelchair. I caught some air. And, you know, kind of opened my eyes. I'm like, I'm like, I'm allowed to do this. I looked around and like, no penalty, nothing. So it's a full rain.

I just started like sprinting around the gym, just hitting people and had a blast. And, you know, hopefully maybe I can compete in that as well. And, you know, on top of the rugby, I'm playing wheelchair basketball. I tried rowing, you know, mountain bike. And just like there's so many different avenues that I can take now. And it's one of those things where, you know, obviously hockey is a big part of my life. And after the accident, hockey is what I resorted to. But now that I've lived certain experiences and got to meet all these different athletes,

I'm like, there's more out there that I can try and there's no, there's no, you know, end to the road, right? Like, you can continue trying all these sports. You can grow them. You can try and make the most of it. And just kind of show people an example of like, you know, the road's never over. There's, there's always something else out there. And each, I'm guessing, each one of those sports, each avenue has such a great group, a support group within them, right? So the more you try is just, it's another community, another community that you're part.

of. Exactly. You know, like, you know, the hockey world's really small, but I mean, even in these Paralympics sports, it's even smaller. Like, you meet someone else and they try, they've tried this sport, then it leads you to that. And they meet someone else and they tried this sport and they leads you to that. So it's never ending and it's such a small world and it's a tight-knit community. And we all know the power of a tight-knit team, right? So, you know, it's, it's an incredible feeling and, you know, the road's never over. Strasstrong Foundation.com. You mentioned off the start as the, that's the website.

It leads you to think that there's a foundation involved with the website. When did you start the Stras Strong Foundation? So this, it actually started when I was in the hospital. A good friend of mine, Cody Thompson, started it to raise funds for rehabilitation needs for myself back in 2018. And over the course of the pandemic, it was just kind of stagnant, wasn't really doing much. and had the idea, I'm like, well, if it's just sitting there, we might as well do something with it. So decided to turn it into a foundation and apply for charity status

so that with the funds accumulated through the foundation, we can give back to people, right, for accessible sports and rehabilitation funding. So, you know, we obviously doing this fundraiser, first one really to raise funds to kind of show people that, hey, you know what, this is where the money's going. This is why it's important. We want to sort of get an understanding and give them a perspective

of the world of adaptive sports and how this draft strong foundation can help. And everyone's in such a different spot, right? In some ways, you live close to Calgary, you're fortunate, you can get in for therapy and the rehab for a lot of people who are isolated. They can't do that sort of thing. There's the mental rehab. There's the physical rehab. There's so many different things, right, that this money that's being raised can go and help. Absolutely. It's not just one avenue, right? I think we all know being athletes, it's more than just the physical stuff. It's the mental stuff as well and everything else that you do, that you surround yourself with. So it was super important to me and I knew the power of rehab and adaptive

sports personally. And I wanted to help, you know, sort of start something where people can also find their goals and they can also try and reach them through these, through these avenues as well. So, yeah, it was just the idea I had and I'm going to see how far I can take it. I remember, I mean, you mentioned COVID. You lose almost two years. But I remember we were at an event at the Saddle Dome and you were there. And you were there. And you, you've, You've been doing this, like you said, four months after you were in a sled playing hockey. You've been part of the community, charity events and stuff, basically, since day one. And I guess I'm just kind of curious.

Everyone has their own story to tell. You don't need to be doing any of this. You could be just living your life behind, you know, behind closed doors, doing your own thing. But you're choosing to be front facing and to be out there and your public speaking and you're visiting schools and all this sort of thing. Was that a, did you know right away that that was going to be your path now or did it take a while to get there? I had no idea. Like, I mean, before the accident, I was never much of a talker. I, you know, I kind of, you know, I'm a completely different person, I guess. And after the accident, I was like, well, you know, what is next for me, right? Like, now the next door

is sort of open, what sort of opportunities can I, can I do now? And a lot of that led to public speaking and telling my story and realizing the impact that it made on certain individuals and realizing that, you know, for me, I don't think anything differently is just the way I want to live my life. But for someone else, maybe they hear my story and they're like, oh, now I can try and do something like that. And, you know, it's just an, it's an incredible feeling and you want to keep, keep it going just because, you know, I've obviously experienced the tough parts. And especially, I just remember being in some of those low moments where you don't want anyone else to sort of experience that. So it's important for me to sort of share my story that way so they

understand how to handle those low points and handle adversity in life because it's more than just the accident from my story. Right. I kept getting cut from hockey teams. I kept getting shut down for certain things. And it was important for me to kind of learn from that and embrace the pain so that I can share this message now and let people know how to handle adversity in the future. There's a saying that sometimes you're too close to the elephant. It means sometimes you need to really appreciate the enormity of this, you know, this elephant. You need to kind of back up a little bit and really take a look at it. You're still such a young guy. It's only been a few years. I just wonder, because I know how people react when they see you, and you can see in that

video the kids that are in awe of you, the story that you have to tell. Are you able to back up from the elephant enough and see the kind of impact that you're having because you really are very much an inspiration to a lot of people. And it's happened in a short amount of time. And that is going to be your life story, the amount of people that you are going to touch their lives. Is that syncing into you or is that kind of, are you too close to it? It depends. Like I said, I don't really think about it too much. I'm truthfully just living and doing what I want to do, right? And, you know, obviously don't let it get to my head or anything like that. And it's super cool when kids can actually come up and feel that they,

they can trust me with what they have to say. And then people, you know, asking me, you know, life, life questions, right? And it's a cool feeling because I've never experienced that before. But through the stuff that I've lived, right, I feel like I can shed a little bit of information or, or inspiration in some capacity. So, yeah, I think definitely taking a step back every once in a while and kind of understanding the leverage you have and sort of the impact that you have is is something I don't like to do too often because again if I think about it too much it's going to get me overthinking so I just try to just continue doing what I'm doing and and you know know that it's helping a lot of people out. Yeah, you're a humble guy. I think it's okay if you take

a step back because because you truly are. It's it's amazing what you're doing and I think it does there's a lot of people who really are drawing strength from you and I think maybe probably for a lot of people that do that inspiring work they may not may not appreciate it. So you're doing these speaking engagements. How many of these are you doing? It feels like you're getting busier with it. You were with what Adidas and Whistler. You're at NHL training camps and prospect camps.

What's been the coolest or some of the coolest things that you've done? There's a lot. I mean, that Adidas golf one was pretty cool because that was their international team coming into Whistler for a week. And I got to speak with them and maybe get some stuff in the works for Paragolf and myself included. So I did training camps. I did Nashville last year at their development camp, and then I just did Arizona's a couple weeks ago.

So I got to travel to some pretty cool places and going to continue just telling my story and working on that and hoping just make a collection of NHL development camps and get some hats and stuff and just start a wall or something. Well, whose jersey's hanging behind you there? What are you got? Oh, I saw, so Jonathan Taves was my favorite player growing up, and he gave me a signed jersey,

and I can't see it, but on the wall up here, I got four sticks and they're all personally signed by, I think it was McDavid, Sagan, Ryan O'Reilly, and Jonathan Taves. So pretty fortunate guy. And yeah, I just want to keep creating a collection of just everything.

What's going on with the flames? We can't figure it out. You know what? That's on you guys. Like I can say much. Thanks. Thanks for that. Dummy.

You didn't follow that. StrazstrongFoundation.com. It's the launch charity golf tournament coming up Sunday, August 27th, all the details that are there. Sponsorship opportunities, foursomes available. It may just a two-sum that's available as well. Get involved. I think it's awesome. You're doing this.

You are having a, you're making a difference, Ryan. Great work. Glad to see how well you're doing and hope to run into you soon. Thank you. Awesome. There he is. Stras strong. Getting her done.

Out at, and that's, I mean, it's kind of a cool event. Launchpad is neat. If you've never been to launch pad. It is tremendous. And you're at, they have one at Mickelson and then at Heritage Point where we've been at. So then they'll start golf and then they got dinner and they got silent auctions, all kind of stuff. That's a banger right there. That's a good little thing.

You're a tie in Heritage Point and Lash Pat. Love it. And he kind of led some different para athletes are coming and they're going to bring their equipment. It's amazing. Some of the advancements that there is. And I remember talking with you about the emotions that you have when you're with the alumni and providing the bikes for kids that. That's CP, right? Yeah.

It's awesome. Would it be bad to just have one of those golf carts to wheel around on? Because I have some of those bikes right now, like where the golf bag goes in, it's almost like a motorbike kind of a thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've seen those. They're supposed to be nails. Either way. If I can wheel around on some little scooter or something like that, I could get into golf. I'll talk to stress.

I really want to see this rugby. Oh, dude. And there's an epic documentary on the basketball, which is apparently, is like, stupid violent and Canada, US rivalries through the roof. Find it.

It's like war. It is unbelievable. Yeah, absolutely mean. Insane. I've heard that about the hockey. Oh, yeah. Almost more. Yeah.

Like, well, but the rugby sounds like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. So check the dock out. If you can find it. I'll try to find the name of it. My mind was blown on like, whoa, how intense this got. And it's a lot of guys that. used to be in the armed forces in the U.S.

Because that's where you have a lot of a huge number of people that work. And unfortunately they sustain injuries. So there's a big military kind of like vibe around the American team. It's wild stuff, man. And think about there's finally an outlet for these guys to get out of some of that aggression.

They've been used to it. Now it's been hard to find a way. Okay. You're going to eat it. You're going to get it. Strasstrongfoundation.com. Go and check out that i want to it's a very big day um today's a big day yeah bontan meets gregg color happy birthday bell happy happy happy birthday great oh way

I have to clear up here. Today. Yes. Okay. I believe. So what I love to do with my buddies is we'll, well, someone will have a stupid hot take in the group chat and it's like, well, we got to bet on this. Like, we can't just have you saying outlandish things and then the stakes have to be created but typically it's

like two Vietnamese subs a couple shots of fireball and two pints at a pub and then like you got to jump in the river something stupid like that that's how like our crew rolls so I got one of those today and there's a golf event so he's got another golf event he's working golf what are you talking about

on the TV? Oh yeah in the open I think they're almost down round round one I sent Jacko and updated laterboard there yeah it's getting late over there. It's, uh, what, 6 p.m? So between darts and drinks, and, and darts and darts and was there darts and darts and darts last night? Oh, good. Um, it's always one of those. You know, you're at a certain level and you're like, you know what? I do want to smoke and I don't smoke. It's like twice a year. Hence the worst hangover. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Darts and darts. I'm looking

forward to the Pinder report. It's going to be exhaustive. I don't know. You better buckle up. Yeah. I'm looking forward to me. I had to lunch for that one. Probably a good time to bring up once again outdoor dental. Dr. J. Patel. I'm guessing last night would have been a show.

There'd have been quite a show. Fireworks. Last night would have been like the Stampede Grandstand show. I went to Bondo place yesterday because they played in a golf tournament. So the big human and Bondo

and Mike Little and the Edwards and two of the four. were out. One guy passed out in the truck. Come on. Wow. And the other guy, Litz, was on the couch and total sleep apnea. Like the one minute pause and then,

I just, yeah. They need Dr. Jay. It was awesome. If, even if it's not, you got to get that thing portable because there would be wives and girlfriend. We got to get more of them.

Yeah. Emergency. Emergency. They don't even have to numb them up. Just bring it in. Let's go. Got to buy some vans. Get portable with this thing.

We'll talk to Dr. Jay about it. Dr. J Patel. Now, it starts with outdoor dental. It's dentistry with no needles, no drills. It's the Solaya laser treatment. They get in there, they do your dental work, and it's, I mean, it's way less intrusive, you're relaxed, it's comfortable, it's just the laser. You're back to your day in minutes.

They also use the Solea laser for snoring, sleep apnea. Two 15-minute treatments, increases the tension in the soft palate, reduces snoring, eliminates snoring, non-surgical, it's pain-free, and can be life-changing. And yes, I still, I've said this before. When we sat down with Dr. Jay the first time, he was like,

so we do the dentistry, but I was thinking that maybe the guys that listen or watch the show might be more about snoring. Do you think there'd be some snoring guys with snoring issues? Let's find some who don't. Let's start the other way and work backwards, because that will be the shorter. That would be our demographic. Like the Venn diagram of people that snore and people that listen to the show, it's just one circle. It's all the same people.

So what we need to be doing is reaching these significant others. Yes. It could just be like two 50 minute treatments in your life is changing. It's going to help her life more than mine. All right. So get yourself, get in for a consultation. Go to the website for more details. Outdoor.dental is their website.

250 minute treatment's worth your time. It's worth your time, Ryan. I think I should do this. My wife's got a big, uh, big birthday coming up. I feel like I'll treat her to that. It's like,

you guys hate that idea. Yeah, I think it's, I don't hate the idea, but if it's a big birthday, I think you're going to have to do more than that. Yeah. She's kind of like going to go to a faraway country and do yoga with five of her best

friends. So I feel like the illness is off me to throw a big party. Yeah, because you hate parties. Yeah. You hate doing stuff. You can pretend all you want that it's off. If you don't,

yeah, you're off the hook. for sure. No, that's fair. Don't do anything. What I should do is set some up when she's back from the airport and like bent on like two travel days. She's like, yep, here right. Shut it.

Like a country. No, let's go. What country? I think she's going to Italy. Italy for yoga. Hot over there. Is it? September.

You know what? That's what the good ladies say when they're going somewhere to have some party. The Beezas is just. Abiza. We're going. Yeah. She should go to. Go on for yoga.

Are you? Right? Spice it up a little. Forgot your mat. Dad's got dark. Mom's got to go to Abisa every once in a while. Let's go for sure. Ibitha.

Abitha. I wonder what the yoga instructors are like over there. Why would they go over there? Yeah. The dudes don't wear shirts and there, yeah. Neither do you. Saw video yesterday. Shut up.

Dunk tank. Let's do the Pinda report, shall? I have two late additions. Jack, did you get those or no? Let's go. We got them. Report brought you by Village Honda. They are located in the Northwest Automall.

They're online at VillageHonda.com. Get road trip ready. Stop by. Have your car checked out. Everything. Tires. Under the hood. Everything you need to know and feel good about hitting that road for the family trip.

Up at Village Honda, they're your dealership for life. And they are the proud sponsor. Less proud today than often they are, I would suggest. Oh. You know who we are proud of today, though? Our boy who won our hearts immediately and never failed to impress us and fill us with joy. Wakeney! Oh, Wockerdr.

Wockerdur tied or not yesterday, Rhett. Check this out. Look at this young fella. You've got the dog with the tuxedo thing. Yeah. Walker. Look at that. Walker and Brooklyn.

Congrats. Congrats. Congrats. It's a choice you've made. I mean, I hope we went to Viena Nova and saved 80%. But also, he's got that new deal. I think what was Connie got that business done. Was it pre-conny?

It was Connie. He was pre-conny, maybe. Yeah, but they got a nice little extension done with him. He was a guy that the moment you put him in the lineup last year, you were impressed. You're like, whoa, that's what a fourth line could look like. We don't need to roll out 35-year-olds that played on the LA Kings 10 years ago that want to come. What an idea. Don't need to make a thing.

No, but it was, you noticed to walk in the night Walking here. Pumping his tires. Yeah, maybe Trevor Lewis got a stray. That's my bad. I'm sorry, that's a direct hit.

Sorry, Trev, too many. Too many last night. Jack, where are we going next? We got like five items. There's not much. Say that again? You pick. Well, he doesn't remember what he sent you.

So you need to put something on the screen and he'll react. You know who's a legend that not even more than Walker Doer is our boy that you could never win with Phil Kessel. He is our boy. There is. He brought it to Toronto again.

Three-time cup winner, Phil Kessel has his day with the cup. And where does he go for the third time? The place they said he'd never win. And the place that hasn't once is 1967. This is the most beautiful thing on earth. They do try and say, no, in fairness, Phil does. They live there. They have a place and they've kept their place in Toronto.

It's like, yike. Don't need to go there. You go anywhere with the cup. He's Bitha. Always. Ibitha. What are you going to do with the cup? Well, it's.

Phil, man. Three cups. It's old hat by now. Like three more than a lot of great players. He's got the same number of Sid. Straight bullet. No, I don't think you're going to get me. He's a fucking guy.

No, no, no, no. I'm just, I meant Iggy. There's a lot of Hallfamers that did not have. Sorry, Iggy. Sorry, Jerome. A lot of hallfamers don't have one. Grattsville Castle. Sorry to Jerome again.

Sorry to anyone that doesn't. of three. This guy's a legend. And yeah, he didn't put a ton done in the stretch, but still in Toronto the cup. Are you kidding me? No, my sister. He's a winner. They tried. Dean thought he was going to retire last year.

It didn't. He won a cup. He tried. What the, yeah. Well, again, they were interested. I could have won a cup. How? I played almost as much as Kessel did in the playoffs.

So. I'm not really going to connect those dots as tightly as you are there. That's fine. Let's move on. The Washington Capitals are becoming Calgary Flames East. I don't know if you'd noticed. Oh, there it is. Kirk.

Your boy. Kirk Muller. Kirk Muller. What's he doing? Well, he's going to be an assistant coach for the Washington Capitals. But hang on. Didn't Mitch Love go to be an assistant coach of the Washington Capitals? And isn't, oh, yeah.

And Matthew Phillips, too. Thank you, Julian McKenzie. that's uh whoa that's a lot of uh calgary content in dc huge i mean and kirk and mitch and matthew were all yeah when you think of them central flames yeah that's when you think flames you think them really yeah for sure you do and that i read i'm sorry i mean you told us you're keen on this gig and kirk gets the job did they call you back what did they say do you focus more on the podcast. How did this go here? No, I didn't interview there.

Didn't. Washington. Too much politics. Washington, they may not know. Way too much politics. He's right. It's too close to it. You were there, though. Wasn't it? Weren't you there when they stormed the capital? That was your crew, right?

Yeah, January 6th. I've fled the country a couple times since. That wasn't a job interview. Okay, guys. That all ended up. They're on to me. They found me. That all ended up fine, right? There was nothing to really come to that.

Anyone with the capsules well, it ends well. Capsular, they're not too close to the action here. We just probably keep away here. What else do we got there? Jacko, throw something up. We'll talk. Let's go. This is.

What do we got? Oh, there it is. Our boy, Brad Schillardt. A lot of boys. A lot of boys. Look at the gap between what Tree wants to pay Samsonov and what Samsonov wants to pay him. That's significant when more than double the team offer is what you're asking for.

I don't know that it, well, it is significant. but if you were closer together, we probably don't need to go to our appreciation. And I think they're hoping not to, as much as, you know, it's one year and goalies are, whoo, they'd like it to have a deal

and not fight with him in court, so to speak, to get a number. But he's also just one year. What was Ilya Samsona before he arrived in Toronto? A guy that Washington didn't care about. Middle of the pack. Not even, like a 1B slash backup.

up. This is, you got to be careful here. And Toronto's got no cap space. Like they got to deal with a Matt Murray biote or LTIR or something crazy like that. Like this is, this is a tough bit of work. Never mind the whole Matthews Nealander thing that's hanging. Well, I was going to say, you can still get a deal done. This, you know, the filings are in for arbitration. A lot of times these things get done right before.

But I. Hanifin and Markstrom for Neeland. Do you think, uh, deal? Love it. Let's go. Do you think Samsonov would have been, uh, sitting down with Trillivings? Do you realize how much we have to pay Matthews? And we don't want to lose Nylander and already Martin or all the money.

Would you take two? You don't want me to take two because you're giving your number one goalie, right? Why don't you? Yeah, you're our number one. Play for league men. And then the cap goes up and there'll be a huge baby more for it. I mean, look at the spot I'm in. I got to pay Matthews all this money.

There's a salary cap, dude. I don't know if that would work. Yeah, I'm kind of with you. That's a tough spot there. I think, yeah, you had a good year. but it was only one year. It was goalies. Goleys, man.

Honestly, like everything go right or wrong. If you have goaltending or don't have goaltending, that probably trumps everything else, doesn't it? It's wild. Certainly. Like you get Bobrovsky playing $9.50 for a month and people think the Florida Panthers are one of the best teams in the league.

So do you just set, if you're a GM, do you just pick a number? This is what I'm paying a goaltender. And then... It's kind of like buying a house and you just go, this is my budget for a lot of... a goal tender. This guy's seven, eight. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. I mean, let's say that they get a number they don't like. Like, could you walk? Like, what are your other options? They

have wool, the guy that was backing up at the end of the year when Murray was hurt that actually got some time in the playoffs and they like him as a, you know, a backup type guy. But like, let's say you needed to go get a one. Is that hard? Is it, is Samsonov any different than how we viewed Vladar a year ago from Samsonov? How are you differentiating? Samsonov was a, I mean, was he not a first round guy? Like he was a starter in Washington. No. He's not Dan Bladar.

No. It's more of a track record there than Dan. How many starts did he had in his career before last year? I would say significant number of starts. I bet he's never started half a season before last year. But I mean, I'm not saying he was drastically different than Dan, but like there were both guys

that were one Bs that looked like, oh, there's a lot of tools here. Maybe one year they'll pop. It's top this year. It's been a 1A prior in his career. How much does he play? He was the starter in Washington. Sort of felt like two dudes there. I don't know.

I'm not saying that there's, I mean, it's, it. I just don't like the comparable. I'm not saying he's a bona fide number one guy, but he has played more than Vladar has for sure. Anyway, I just, you just see what, there's a lot of big money goalies that it doesn't work for them, but then you flip that over and you look at teams and it could be,

how could you put together this, kind of a team and then run out that kind of goaltending. Washington, he played 26, 19, 44. So yeah, one year he played barely over half the games. He played about 80 or 90. And here's the thing with goalies, guys.

Like five is kind of a lot of money for a goal. It's not for a forwarder, a defenseman, but like, is it though? Yeah. Five is a lot for a goaler. You're for sure a number one money. And I don't know that for sure, he's, the number one. He had one good year.

If he was so good in Washington, why's he gone? He wasn't good in Washington. He had one year with 44 starts and they let him go. I'm not here to pump his tires. Yeah, and I just, I don't know. What is he?

I don't know. If you run through number one goalies in the league, how many of them are making 4.9 million? Yeah, I'd say two thirds. Who are the guys, though, that you're like, this is unmiss. Because how many number ones aren't that good and making over the five.

Yeah. Like how many, when I played, Roder, Waa, Haschick, Belfour, stars, superstars, yeah. You had a long list of guys that were no effing around, clear cut number ones,

Hall of Fame type goal tenders. Yeah, yeah. And I think... That list right now, I think, is Vasilevsky. Vaselov. Shasturkin in New York. Sorokin is kind of under the radar a bit in New York.

but Vesna votes this year. I think that whole team, he's the backbone. The only reason they're competitive is they got Sorokin. I think Hullabuck is one of those guys. And then after that, it's like, yeah, I think there's another tier below there where maybe you've got your Ottingers and maybe you feel good about Carter Hart. I don't know it's a shitty team.

No, you don't. It's been a long time. Yeah. I don't know that Ilya Samsonov is one of the best 25 goalies on earth. I'm not convinced that he is. You may or may, the problem is. It's like him five? Fuck.

So other guys in that tier And some of us I mean, Aiden Hill just signed for 4.9 And he was nothing four months ago and now looks good I don't know what to believe Anyone that plays Net in Vegas looks better than they probably are Jack Campbell UC Sorrows Cal Peterson Linus Almark

Robin Lennar Thatcher Demko Demko's all making five Kemper 5 and a quarter Tristan Jari just signed 575 Kempers's making five a quarter coming off a cup as a free agent Merzlickens 5.4 and then Shisterkin looks like a good value at 5.6. I don't know. I don't. You know what your living is trying to do.

I don't know that I necessarily blame them. There's no what's what's to be lost by throwing out two point, whatever, two point four. Yeah. The mid point is 3.65 and doesn't that feel like a deal you could do three times 3.65, two times 3.65? like that that feels like a natural landing spot and we're probably talking way too much about in our case in a Toronto Roli but we're hung over and we don't have a lot of you're welcome you're welcome yeah what else have we got jack please give me some one jack jesus jesus oh yeah there Tommy flewood Tommy yes top of the table Tommy look at that five under at royal liverpool did you watch any of this retro where yeah how's your royal liverpool Bunkers, deep, deep, deep, deep.

That liver pool right now is contaminated. Yeah, there's a good market for organs, but not mine at this point, though. We've got to go check. Doesn't your liver have a Twitter account? Yeah, there's some dude somewhere that is my liver. Pinder's liver.

Yeah, it's quite it down a bit. That's all I got. I don't know. That's it. What else are you got? That's it. That was five times? Jack, that's all you got.

Come on. My job. Jeez. Jack. I think there's nothing else you can roll out. Jack. I got nothing. We got nothing with like bulls or boomer dancing or like people above ground pools doing dumb shit.

Come on now. Village Honda has a huge pre-owned inventory. Over 70 used vehicles on site access to over 400 more in their dealer group. All Makes all models for all budgets. Award winning service. Top rated team Village Honda is your dealership for life. in the northwest automobile. Looks like our buddy Anthony from up there at

has finally come back. That was quite a Chris Wilde trip that they were on. Hooked up the trailer and in Vegas. It was Vegas. It was yeah, they did the whole circuit.

That hot down there. Oh, yeah. Record stuff in Arizona right now, I think I saw this morning. Yeah, Arizona in July. Thanks. No, pass. Swass.

Boone loves it. What about Tempe though in the winter? No, I could get into that a little more. I like the heat as long as there's a pool. Yeah, and shade. And some sort of a little speaker and lots of drinks. Yeah. Yeah, you're a big drinker.

Summer's day. You know what? Summer backyard pool. That's my wheelhouse. That's your spot. Yeah. I'm not driving anywhere. You can control the playlist.

I got nowhere else to go, get some yacht rock going. That boy passes out on an inflate. Just impressive. Yeah. Yeah. Kids walking by like, oh, my. Dad, are you okay? Yeah.

Yeah, bugger off. Stop splashing. Shush. Too many waves. Stop splash. So a couple things I want to get through here before we're done. I mentioned the rabbit hole. I got another thing going back to yesterday.

But I want to tell you about Vena Nova. I had somebody reach out. It's like, so the, the. talking about it. Can you tell me more about it? What else do you need me to tell you about it? Rhett and Ryan,

we've all gone there. We've all bought things for our wives. I mean, a fifth of the price for the exact same, like actual. It is the exact same. Compressed carbon. It's a beautiful diamond.

Yes. And often better clarity than mine diamonds. And you will save 75, 80%. It makes all the sense in the world. What more do we need to explain? I, that's what I said to him. I still was stupid. So, like, what is it?

It's exactly what you think it is. Yeah. It's the best. So do you think, do you think it? Yeah. That's what it's about, stupid. Don't think. You're overthinking it.

So you just go, yes, you go to the store and look at things and then you buy them and then you give them away. So not to say all of you are in that same, but that's what you would do. You would go to the store. You buy them. And chances are you're giving them away. Maybe you want to keep it for yourself. I'm not here to judge. You do what you do.

but lab grown diamonds. It's Calgary's the only store in the city that it's exclusive in lab grown diamonds. The showroom is downtown's second level of Stephen Avenue place. It's the website, vena nova.com. You see it there on your screen. And yeah, it's a lab grown diamond. It's the same. It's the same.

The quality, as you said, a lot of times, it's even better than some of the stuff. You're digging out of the ground and the savings are astronomical. So go and see them, go and see Justin. It's a family-run business. They've been doing this forever, and they would love to see you. Love it. They'd love to see you. So, moon missed.

Let's go. I mentioned yesterday just about AI and how I don't know what I'm. Yeah. I'm at the point now where I'm kind of taking a beat every time when it's, oh, that's a minute. Is this real? Is this real? Because it gets to be pretty convincing sometimes, some of the stuff that you're seeing and some of the stuff that you're hearing. So what you're going to hear something.

shortly. So I'll tie it in with the hearing loss clinic is how we'll make this word. Hearingloss.com is their website. Men and women of all ages, even some, maybe some people in this room could have hearing issues that could be changed in a big way with help from the hearing loss clinic. Untreated hearing loss can be linked and has been linked to serious health risks. It's not worth it. Make it part of your routine of health and taking care of yourself for Calgary locations, Shaughnessy, the University District, beautiful spot there, Northwest in the Krofa Business Center,

and the North Hill professional offices, empowering yourself, feeling better, being more engaged with people. When you go out and throw darts all night, you don't miss out on things. I would suggest that, you know, socially you're more engaged. Is that what it is? Yes.

You're hearing everything, Dean, and I'd expect you to be leaving your home more often once we get you fixed up well i'll see so the first one i want to show you there's a guy and i don't he's a just somebody that i saw on uh on instagram and it's he's a i guess like an audio engineer and he does some of these mashups with songs and different things so the first one he took a he took a snoop a snoop dog song and twisted it a little bit to the point that snoop saw it this is the first one. So this is a Snoop reacting to the

one mash. I kick a little something for the jeans and make a few ends as I bridge through two in the morning and the party still jumping because my mama ain't home. I got ventures in the living room getting it on and they ain't

leaving till six and so what you want to do. Shit, I got a pocket from the ruffles and my whole voice do too. So he's, the guy's very talented, right? Now he's getting into the AI stuff. So I don't know, again, I don't know how this works. But you can go and get AI set up and it sounds like the person's voice.

You can ask for it. Sound like this. And they can sing whatever you want. Here is some old blue eye. Some Frank Sinatra that this guy put together. To the window to the wall. Until the sweat drops down my balls. So all you bitches fra, oh, skeed, skit, god damn.

You know what I mean? Watch your mouth, Dean. Oh, my balls. If you've ever wanted to hear... From the window of the wall, Frankie, wow. If you've ever wanted to hear Elvis, shit, I forget which song he's singing here, but let's... Oh, no, there's another.

Here's the kick. Oh, I like great, but I cannot lie. You are the brothers. I can't deny it That when a girl walks in with an idiot-ditty-ditty Stand around in your face You get sprung Oh, well, you get sprung

Deep in the jeans she's wearing I looked and I can't stop staring Baby got a bag My Anaconda don't walk none Unless you got that the buns hide I'm begging for pieces at that bubble that bubble so go and find that

juice double back and you get sprung or you get scrub or you get scrub that. If you heard that oh I tell us.

I can't believe Elvis did that back when he was still alive. I think the first thing that we heard with AI and music was someone said make a song

that has lyrics like Drake but sounds like the weekend and it was like oh my God. That's good. And immediately an army of lawyers that work for record labels went to work.

Because this is the gray area, right? It's like, oh, hey, you can't be selling music that sounds like Elvis using AI. Like, we are Elvis's record label. That's an impersonation. Like, this is, I don't know how it goes, but that's, that's what's happening right now. Is why, do you think that's why some of those guys sold their entire rights and library? I don't know. Yeah, it's hard to say.

They were ahead of it and they're like, well, this AI is going to disrupt everything. I'm going to cash in all I can. Yeah. And right now you have. have writers and actors on strike. I don't know if you guys are aware of that or not. But one of the big things is voiceover work. So if they can make something sound like Elvis,

like I'll just gonna, I'm gonna do a cartoon and I want it to sound like Tom Hanks's voice. Well, that's, you can you? I don't know. Gotta be concerning because. Well, do you pay Tom Hanks to be a lead in a cartoon movie,

a blockbuster, like millions. AI does it for free. Yeah. And you can probably even, yeah, you probably don't need them. To be,

yes. The writers. Scary, scary, scary, scary. To be in broadcasting. Even the writing, not ideal. Even the writing? Oh, the right?

Yeah. You need scripts written. You need ads, whatever it is, you need written. I think there was a thought that sort of the creative professions and like the more of the arts would be harder to replicate. I think it's kind of the exact opposite. Yeah.

They're actually really, yeah, it's really good at that. Like, we've been messing around with the eye with some dumb stuff. And it's like, yeah, that's probably better than the show we would do. No, is this, will this get us taken down? off of YouTube because of...

It's not licensed, so I don't think it will. I doubt it. Yeah, like, if that was an actual song on Spotify or Apple Music, then yeah, we'd get taken down. I just wonder if it's like... The music bed alone, is that enough to trigger something? Because I don't think the lyrics to Baby Got Back would. No. One more for you, and this will be, this was with you in mind, retro.

If you've ever wanted to hear Johnny Cash sing Spice Girls and Katie Perry, definitely have. You're in luck. Oh, really? Hello, I'm not Johnny Cash I'm a Barbie girl In a Barbie world Laughing plastic

It's fantastic You can brush my hair Undress me everywhere Oh come on Barbie Let's go party Because I'm in a Barbie world If you want to be my lover You gotta get with my friends

Make it last forever Friendship never ends up in my hands Off to play my song The butterflies fly away Yeah Yeah, yeah It's a party in the USA I mean, geez

Aqua and Katie Perry, yeah, I guess it was Aqua Somebody's like, It's not, it's not a shit Well, no, but the party in the USA That's Katie Perry So be afraid Be very afraid. It was fun when it lasted this whole having a job thing. You know what, though?

They can't. I can't replace the humor and the opinion. Can AI come in hung over after a night of darts in a garage and boness? Huh? I ask you that. Not yet. Chance. Pretty good at all.

Probably have more than five items in the Pinder report. Come on, Barbie. Let's go. Party. Barbie world. So that, congrats. Hey, Rhodesy, that's for a hearing loss clinic. today.

Some poor. Hearing lost dot CA. You're welcome. Some poor guy in the comments is like, I just joined the show. What the hell is happening? Yeah, I know. I know.

If you're, if you want to go, if you talk about a rabbit hole, we'll go down another one. Uh, I think he's, I think it's TikTok. I thought it was on,

uh, Instagram. Their underscore, I underscore, ruined underscore it. There, I ruined it. So there I ruined it with underscores mix it.

But the stuff going back before the AI, the pitch moving the pitch somehow he's got all or he or she has the just the vocal tracks and then puts it with other stuff and the ability to move that shit around you know you got six eight 10 hours you want to kill there I ruined it on the on viral or a ret just do that's right yeah that's what that's your instagram account you're going to start I'm not sure you know what I'm not sure you're going to enjoy this next the rabbit hole that's do it What the hell's happening on July 20? Well, really nothing.

Okay. But then I kind of got, okay, so this and then it. So it's what degrees of separation, Kevin Bacon type of a deal. So I just thought, you know what, McLeod Law, they'd appreciate it. Peter Klein likes, you know, I'm sure he goes down the rabbit hole, does some Johnny Cash ass kicking, that sort of thing. People that are paying their damn disability. Come on.

McLeod-dashlaw.com is the website. You know Peter Klein at McClellan at McCall. Cloud Law is 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 is refusing to pay insurance benefits to you, contact Peter. Peter, get him on board. He's on your side. He'll get you the disability benefits you paid for and that you deserve, that peace of mind. It's all there. No better teammate fighting for you than Peter Klein and the good folks at McLeod Law. Now, what it was is July 20th in 2016, Brad Richards retired, which is, okay, well, it's a long time ago, I guess. I hadn't really thought about it played for 15 years.

And I just got to say, is he a Hall of Fame guy, Consmyth? What are the numbers? Two Stanley Cups. And really, no, 1126 games, 298 goals, 932 points. So I don't think he's quite there. No 500 goals, no 1,000 points. He was one of those guys. Third round pick, but coming out of junior,

he was the top, top player in the country, top scoring guy in the country and in Quebec and then Memorial Cup and all that sort of. Played at Notre Dame and Wilcox, Saskatchewan with Vinnie the Cavalier. So anyway, third round pick, not bad. Seven years in Tampa, Cup in 04. Sorry. Consmite.

Trade it to Dallas in 2008. Remember in 2011, July 1st, Jay Feaster was all over. Because, of course, they won the cup together. in Tampa Bay tried to get him to Calgary. Sounded like Calgary was one of the last two or three teams in the mix. Was he being, was he being kind to his former team? Hey, I'm not going to go there, but I'll just going to tell you you're in second place and then everyone's happy.

Who don't have to have? He elects to go to the New York Rangers. Roger. Nine years, $60 million. Ooh. He played, and this is where the rabbit hole began for me. So a nine-year deal, he played three years out of the nine-year deal before getting bought out. Oh.

Now, this was in that time, remember the compliance buyouts. So if you were a team, you could, I don't care, buy them out, we'll pay the money. It doesn't affect our cap hit. You kind of had that one time. They changed the CBA and they allowed a window for you could just buy people out and not feel the punishment. There's a window where you could do it and not have cap implications. And it's not as though Richards was terrible. I looked at the, so the three years he was there, he had 25 goals and 61 points in 82 games.

Then in 46 games, 11 goals, the next year, 82 games again, 20 goals. Not terrible, but their money was just so out of whack. They looked at it and said, six more years at this, or do we just buy them out? Never a great skater. Never a great skater. So, and what's even better is the three years, front loaded deal. he made 33 million in those three years in actual money. That was before they made the rules where you can't spread a front load too heavy or

backload too heavy, whatever. You've got to be within a certain percentage of the AAB now. So probably likes Manhattan. Maybe a little bit of your pride takes a bit of a shot. But I made 33 million of the. Why? And the buyout. You got that too.

Yeah. And then yeah, you're going to continue to get paid. So it takes that, moves on, signs a deal with Chicago immediately. One year, two million. Stanley Cup. Compared to two people. Yeah. Did he want a cup in Chicago?

I want a cup in Chicago. How did I forget that? My God. So two cups in this career. Moves on. So he's got the $2 million there plus the, every year he's getting money from the Rangers. Still 15, 16, signs a one year deal, $3 million from your buddy, Kenny Holland and Detroit. Detroit.

it. Bonus structure in place. If they make the playoffs, they do make the playoffs, barely. Another $3 million becomes $4 million. Jeez, well done. So with the buyout spread over, because you double the term, right? Double term, two thirds of the money, yep. So Richards made $33 million in the first three and still gets another $20 million over the 12-year

buyout to not play. 20 million. Some of that paid leave. To not play. That's what we need, guys. That paid leave. That's the good stuff. Jack, could you handle making $20 million to not work?

That's something you can get into or what? Yep. We're going to spread it out over a couple years. Yeah, it's not one. It's Bobby Benia. You're going to get a check one day or every year, but it's a big check. Yeah. Decent.

He gets just at 1.055 million every year until the end of the 25, 26 season. And as I mentioned, retired in 2016. Who's the other guy that? Well, I'm going to. Okay. Sorry. There's the rabbit hole. Yeah.

Man, that's a crazy bio. Yeah. Yeah. I got thinking about that. We've talked about it. Yep. Because Ryan Suter and Zach Piresse got bought out. Yep.

I think 15 million in cap it for the Minnesota Wild last year for them not to settle down. Crazy. Take a beat. 2012, both of them signed identical deals. 13 years, which sounds crazy now. Like, no kidding. They got rid of this shit.

13 years, 98 million for an A.A.V. of 7.5. Now, they did play a fair bit there. Good players, yeah. Bought out the final four years on both. So eight years total. Dead cap in 23, 24 and 2425 of 14.7 million. Still.

Still, dude. If four years left, they buy it out, it's an eight year payout. And because it wasn't loaded. And it goes down for the team, it goes down. But these next two years left, two years. 47 million of your capital is gone. They all right. In a real money.

For a year deal of the release of a day. We all really. Right. And it was just a little different, but fair. off go ahead 06 if Mike Milbury gives him a 15 year deal or 67 and a half million 15 years four and a half million dollar cap hit it was milbury yeah before Garstow just yeah I think yeah or was it Garth I thought it might be Garth yeah it might be Garth I think it was I think it was

okay yeah so anyway I didn't realize he played he he did go on and play you mentioned injuries didn't play much yeah so he signs that no six but is bought out in 2013. Eight years left. That's 16 years because you double it. Rick DiPietro gets 1.5 million every year until 28, 29. And retired in, well, that deal in 20 in New York doing Islanders games for MSG plots or whatever. Like that guy's a living a good life.

God bless. So made four and a half million in each of those seven years. and since 2013 he's been making 1.5 million every year just to walk the earth you're going to get to the former Sabre another great tale Vincent La Cablee he got bought it twice holy we talked about him because I saw him there at the

at the draft 08 first overall pick great player signs the 11 year deal 85 million four years later Tampa Bay buys him out. You're going to say it's a big deal with Philly, doesn't he? It's front loaded, again, much like Richards. So his, you know, sure he's disappointed to be bought out, but did make 40 million of the 85 in the first four years of that deal.

So he takes us 40 million from there, leaves. Philly signs him in 2013, so just the same year. Five years, 22.5 million. So another four and a half million. he then it's traded L.A. at the end and everybody kind of said, well, if you agree to retire, we'll trade for you if you wave your ship. So he played three of the five years in Philly. It's front loaded. The Flyers gave him 16.5 million for the three years. Jeez. The three years post Tampa Bay from what he was getting paid in the buyout plus what was getting from Philly, 29.78 million.

for those three years. That's good work. 30 million over three. And continues to get paid. And it was Garcinow. I looked it up. So, yeah. Continues to get paid.

Ilya Brzegalov. I was wondering, what was the shortest amount of time between contract, buyout? And there's been some that were, that were quick. But this was a big one that ended quickly. Yeah, it's different. That's determination. 2011.

And this is Rich winner. Good work, Rich. Nine years, 51 million. 5.5.6 AAV. He played two years in Philly before being bought out. Two years. This was a compliance buyout. So no cap hit, which, I mean, they took it and signed La Calvier that summer.

So not ideal. But just money. Brise 14. years of 1.6.42 million until 2627. Played two years. That's a bad. That's a terrible. I mean, you talk about terrible, terrible signings.

Boy, Philly's done some awful, awful work over the years. Yeah. Holmgren and Fletcher. Yeah. Good. And Hextel is the guy that, Drake, but he never signed the bad deals. He was just, he just took Nolan Patrick, who didn't turn into player. That's what they hit him for. Unbelievable.

And then just kind of a, you know, just for a little fun fact at the end. One of our favorites, of course, was the Michael Stone here at Gallagher. Yes, that's right. Michael bought a, well, signed a three-year deal in 2017, 10.5 million, 3.5 AAV. They buy out the final year, August 1st in 2019. So two years is how it's going to be spread out because it's the final year. But either way, buy them out, moving on. That was August 1st.

They signed him back to another deal on September 11th. And that was because Yusso Valamaki got hurt training in the offseason in Finland, blew out his knee. They lost him for the whole year. They had big, big designs on Yusel playing a role. And Brad had to call the league office and be like, guys, this isn't cap circumvention. I lost to get an injury and I, and Stone's here and we need them.

Yeah. Is this okay and got permission to sign it? Because you're not allowed to do that sort of thing. Yeah, you can just buy out a player and then sign a low money deal. That's, you know, you're cooking the books a bit with the cap. there but given that the extenuating circumstances where it was a young player you expected to play minutes getting done for the year yeah all of a sudden they're in the mark for a d where they weren't before so you remember when we were talking about michael stone there for a while playing

league minimum deals well yeah there was a 700k salary plus it was uh 1.18 1.18 left over from his buyout so he had that blood clot stuff so he didn't play for over a full year didn't he? yeah so you made a 1.8 1.9 there as a league minimum guy can i add one to you? here total yeah go ahead Cody Hodgson remember him he uh just wrapped up his uh biote this past season 22 23 he was making a cool 791 thousand dollars a year for eight years living in Nashville coaching young kids and hockey love of life probably doing all right I only make about 800 grand a year to not play hockey these days and I'm working with kids and oh Nashville could probably be fun and that you know he was never a star but that was a buyout the last forever you just think of for some of those

guys like richards and le cavalier you'd probably look at it you're getting bought out that's the greatest deal ever that's unbelievable and then you sign another one so i get they're paying me and i've got this money and even though i stayed there for only two or three years i got most of the money in those two or three years we hate agents but some some guys have done pretty well by their by there. God almighty. And you think about those numbers. I think Vinnie the Cavalier he talked about might be one of the top five grossing players in the history of the game.

And I don't think we view them as that caliber player, but just the way that the chips fell on those contracts, the buyouts, like it was, he was double dipping for a lot of years. He was double dip and I'm a long career too, to be fair. When you're bought out, because his, what was his cap hit on that new deal? It would have been 7.7.

So even with the buyout money and then whatever he was getting paid from Philly, it wouldn't have been to the tune of seven. But to get that kind of money in a short amount of time and then just be paid forever, God almighty. He's only 43. 160 million career earnings. Yeah. And I know on cap friendly, that's based on contracts that were signed.

It doesn't necessarily include the buyout. The buyout stuff. but it's ballpark and it was the same with Richards. Richard's not a Hall of Famer, $100 million in career earnings. Good agents. Holy shit. Timings everything, do you?

I guess. We pulled back the curtain. We had Curtis Glencross in yesterday and you'll hear that conversation in August. Remember when he went for the horseback ride with Ken King? Mm-hmm. It came up. It should, yeah.

It was the hometown discount to stay in Calgary and Kenny and Kurt went for a ride on the horses and I see his a flame forever. Here's a four-year deal. I'm somebody on the table. I'm a Barbie girl. In a Barbie world. Oh, Glennie. He could skate.

Yeah. He was the first Brook Spanded ever to make the NHL. He was an expansion team and went to Brooks, which was sort of a not, obviously not traditional. He was a brand new team. And then went to play University in Alaska of all places. That's an interesting route. And now he's like Phil Rivers. You played midget C.

Grew a foot and a half in his midget year. And all of a sudden it's like, oh, he's 6.3 now? Yeah, we could use this kid and junior. It's all that red meat and provost. There you go. Yeah. So we'll have that one rolling out at some point. August, yeah.

A few weeks. That'll be good. That'll be good. Next week we got one too. Yeah. Go ahead. Well, you guys did it. I don't know what's planned.

I don't know who's. Matt's agent. Oh, all right. Yes. Maddie. I know we did them. I didn't know in what order. Yeah, no.

I think that makes sense next week. Sure. All right. Also a guy who did pretty well in the, uh, good agent financial department. It was there. I can remember being in the old building way up north saying, oh, this guy needs to go to the players.

I remember. Yeah. But he was, there was the money. he was making and the production you were getting didn't add up. He was a fine player. It just did match the money. I feel like he kind of was like, I don't want to say whipping voice probably too strong, but it was like, it was, uh, why he's making that much money and people didn't

like the player and it's like, it's all the player's fault. The GM gave him that money. Yeah. And then I think by the end, he became a fan favorite. And he was still a fourth line center, but he was a dependable. Well, it's a typical thing where it's just said it. It's not the player or the person. It's, you're making too much money for what you contribute.

It's the GM's fault. Good agent. And we talk about it, but there was also, this is what we got for Dion. Yeah, that's the thing too, 100% it is. It was not a good trade. That's not Matt's fault. No. The money was too much.

That was not Matt's fault. I said all, he did not come in with a ski mask and handguns. That's right. And say, you're paying me three and a half million, fucker. There's no Bella clava on. Yeah. Listen, Berkey. Yeah.

This is what we're doing. A GM or president slid that paper across the table and gave you a pen. What are you going to do? Not sign it? Of course you're signing that shit. Unless you're Raguere, who apparently didn't sign it. Did you hear that part? I did, yeah.

He said, oh, you know, I think I only got two years left. What? Robin, take the money. If you missed it, again, go back and check it out. We had a great interview. I didn't even call it an interview. He just sat down and shot the ship. Was it Dean Lombardi?

Is that who that was? Dean Lombardi. Yeah, wow. Offered him a contract. And Robin said, you know what? I don't think I'll play that long. I'll take one year at this, please. Take one year off of that and I'll do it.

Was it? He's too honest. Sasker. Jesus. He could have wrote it out as an injury. Something. Yeah. L-C-A-R, take the money!

Look at all these other guys. They're fine taking money for doing nothing. Not robin. Good guy. It was real money. It wasn't the league minimum. No, real dough. Yeah, what was he making around then?

Four-ish, I think wasn't he offered three? He was offered three. He was offered three. He was offered three. He's offered three years. A million dollar. I was going to call him a Probably regrets.

I was going to call him fucking stupid, but he's so big and strong still. He's not stupid, don't say that. Still in such good shape, guys. Still very menacing. What do you say?

Bench Press of Buick? Yeah, he's a big dude. Still big. Uh, St. Eugene golf, resort and casino.

I saw somebody on, on Twitter. I think it was there, I'm going to Cranbrook. What's a good one? Oh, come on, please. Come on, man. St. Eugene, golf, resort,

Beautiful spot of the world. Mountains. Fresh air. Yeah. Yeah. Good place to be right now. Do you think were your boys snored in the vehicle and when they went on that trip to Granbrook, do you think?

The big human and. Oh, yeah. There'd have been some cars sleeping there. Yeah, it would have been a tough. Yeah. Yeah. Ride home. I'm sure who was handling the wheel, but Godspeed.

St. Eugene, championship golf course. Go and, uh, and check them out. You want to do some, uh, did you do a bad way, bet what you bet? Yeah, we did it that way to bet today. Yeah. Women's World. Cup is underway. I think today, Canada, Nigeria. So we're going to dance on that. Let's pick

the score. How about 1-0? Plus 400? Plus 400? One-nil? That's a soccer score. We could do this. 1-0? Sure. Plus more hundred. I hear you. And then Pinders hangover, over-under said a day and a half. We're going to take the under here. Because I think we're going to get back on that horse. Like those odds, too. Plus 200. You can't miss that. I'm surprised that that's paying.

that high. I'm not because he might get right back into it. So, you know what? I saw some other books. Betway's always got great numbers, but some other places this was closer to even money. Betway plus 200 for the ender on the one and a half to hang over.

Betway really wants your action. They want you to be part of what they're doing. Get that Betway app. His jacket the two to hangover or what, Monday Tuesday, you were just a pile of shit. He went out Sunday night, last day of stampede, day 10,

finally got it into him. Come on now. And in fairness, it's not your ability to, navigate through the hangover. It's just the hangover itself. You can't be hungover if you're drunk. That is sort of, I don't know that they've cooked that into the odds.

Are we doing a show tomorrow? Bet the responsible. Bet the other. Let's go. Absolutely not. Betway. Betway. Betway, bet way, betway.

Before we let you. You have to hunt the website for that one, too. It's a weird corner of the internet. I found that those odds. I was going to ask you where, uh, is that under futures? Or was it? I think it's under darts. Darts.

Let's see here. I just want to find out what's going on at Mad Rose today. Oh, what day of the week? Yeah, what's the Thursday? They got great beer there. Like, would you say over 20 on tap? There's 20 on tap. They rotate them through.

If you are hitting the road, go and download some barn burner stuff for you. The Robin Regier stuff is up there. We had a great conversation. I was even saying, is there any way to loop it through? I guess, but we don't have to. Ryan Huska sat in with hour 20 with us. That's right. We did a ton with Husker.

Had a great chat with him. I feel like that's it. There's a lot happening that month and it was in there. And now that it's like it feels like we're wandering through the desert a bit, like tumbleweeds a bit with newswise, like go revisit that huska chat. You know what I was thinking of as well. And we're going to have him coming up. It's just been a matter of navigating schedules.
